Chapter 267 The Beauty of Adulthood
In the early morning, Li Tai returned to the military city where Kai Cao's official office was located, surrounded by dozens of guards.
It was getting late after dinner yesterday, so he did not return to the city. Although Kai Cao's subordinates had tidied up his apartment for him, because he was worried about being harassed by some particularly hard-working people at night, Li Tai stayed at Shou Hui's tent nearby for one night.
When he left this morning, he borrowed a team of elite soldiers from Shuohui to accompany him. When he was at the office, these people could block the door and pretend to be people who came to collect ordnance, so as to avoid other harassment.
Today he also wanted to check several arsenals belonging to Kai Cao inside and outside the city. These people could also accompany him to protect him, lest he, like the unlucky guy before, was frightened and fell off his horse.
He had just turned to the street facing the gate of the government office. From a distance, he saw a group of strong soldiers standing outside the gate of the government office. He couldn't help but curse in his heart. Yuwentai had arranged for him to be put in some damn place. It really doesn’t give anyone any breathing space from night to day.
Fortunately, there were not many people who knew that he was also the leader of Kai Cao. He stepped forward and planned to see who was leading the team this time. If it was a small role, then based on his reputation as Governor Li, he would be the first to lead the team. If he is frightened away, if it is difficult to deal with, then he should avoid it first.
With this thought in mind, when he came to the door of the government office and looked up, he saw Yu Wenhu standing in the door of the government office, looking a little anxious and haggard.
"Boshan, you are finally back. I have been waiting here for a long time!"
When Yu Wenhu saw Li Tai approaching, he stood up in a hurry and strode towards him.
Li Tai looked wary and suspicious. He stopped and stepped back: "Brother Sabao, why are you here? There shouldn't be any involvement between the Kaicao Division and the person you are responsible for in the case, right?"
It would have been better not to ask about this. When Yu Wenhu was asked, he immediately burst into tears of grievance: "You still come to ask me! I want to ask you, what exactly did you say in the letter to the Taifu last night? Daxingtai..."
Regarding his embarrassing experience, he was really embarrassed to describe it too specifically. He took a step forward and grabbed Li Tai's wrist and said in a low voice: "You don't want to stay here anymore. You're not allowed to go anywhere. Follow me back home." Come and worship Daxingtai!”
When Li Tai heard this, he didn't refuse, and he couldn't help but feel happy. Although I don't know how Yu Wenhu was treated, it obviously means that Yu Wentai has seen the memorial he submitted yesterday.
That guy is not so bored that he wants to have someone call him back to his house just to see how badly he has been messed up by Kai Cao's mess.
So he simply refused to enter the office and waved his hand to the subordinates who came out to look after his home. After he came back from meeting Da Xingtai, they could start shaking up their armor.
On the way back, Yu Wenhu hesitated several times. When the city gate was vaguely in sight, he finally couldn't help but slow down his horse. He turned to look at Li Tai and said with a serious face: "Bo Shan, I have something to do here. I would like to ask you to share the details, and I hope you can think carefully before answering me on the pros and cons of the matter. I have a subordinate who will come forward..."
Seeing Yu Wenhu's seriousness, Li Tai also listened seriously. After listening, his eyes became a little strange: "Brother Sa Bao, this subordinate you are talking about..."
"You may not know who the specific person is, Bo Shan. Now just talking about this strategy, I think it has some merits. It's not just about saving materials at night. If you think about it more carefully, actually... alas , I can’t tell at the moment, what do you think, Bo Shan?”
Yu Wenhu suppressed the shyness and embarrassment in his heart, looked at Li Tai expectantly and continued.
Seeing him like this, Li Tai understood clearly in his heart. After pondering for a moment, he smiled and said: "This matter does seem a bit complicated at first glance, but if you think about it more deeply, it also has quite a lot of implications. The first is to show the Taifu to the public. With diligence and frugality, one can reach within one government as close as possible and as far as the world. There is no need to preach a lesson, everyone who is doing it will be able to perceive this virtue.
Since the Taifu holds the talisman and supports his destiny, he cannot take it lightly because of the small merits. An ant nest can break a dike, and a chopstick can destroy a country. Therefore, there is no distinction between great and small virtues. If you keep them, your virtues will be promoted for a long time! "
After hearing this, Yu Wenhu nodded repeatedly, not without excitement.
When he was scolded so badly last night, of course he tried to refute it and got to the point of what Li Tai said, but the wording didn't sound as convincing as what Li Tai said. But even so, his uncle shouldn't have scolded him like that last night!
"anything else?"
A traumatized heart finally resonated, and Yu Wenhu widened his eyes again, looking at Li Tai expectantly and asked.
"The reason why the Taiwanese government divides Cao Cao and sets up offices is to take charge of affairs. But nowadays, the number of Cao Cao divisions has become more and more complicated, and it has become a difficult matter in itself. Even though the ministers intend to cut down and organize this personnel, they do not have a grand vision. To select and eliminate appropriately.”
Li Tai did not disappoint Yu Wenhu, and he talked eloquently while riding his horse forward: "The so-called feudalism in ancient times was based on family divisions. Therefore, everything in the world is the family affairs of the emperor. In the past, all those who were honored by their duties were all The emperor's retainers can only weigh the personnel and matters in front of them within a short period of time. Now that all the Cao Cao's affairs in the Taifu are listed inside and outside the hall, the Lord can choose them calmly... …”
"Yes, yes, that's what I have... Boshan, you are worthy of your reputation. You can see the profound intention of this good political strategy at a glance!"
When Yu Wenhu heard this, he smiled even more. The trauma in his heart was greatly relieved, and he felt more and more that it was really hard to find a true friend in the world. If his uncle had such a profound insight into Li Tai, he wouldn't have scolded him so fiercely last night.
When he was about to enter Tai Mansion, Yuwen Hucai whispered to Li Tai again: "Recently, domestic and foreign affairs have been anxious, and Da Xingtai has been worried and in a bad mood because of this. Although I don't know why I summoned you, Bo Shan, please be careful. response."
Li Tai didn't know that Yu Wenhu was scolded so badly last night. He just felt bored when he heard this warning. I am a close friend of the Lord, can I be the same as you?
He walked into the main hall with brisk steps. Before he had time to bow down, Yu Wentai in the hall had already waved and said with a smile: "Boshan, there is no need to be polite. I know you are busy with things, so I will go to the table first to speak. After the conclusion is made, Return to the department for execution as soon as possible.”
Li Tai only works in a Taiwanese government. Even if he is also a Cao Cao, how dare he boast about his busy schedule in front of Daxingtai? However, when these words came out of Yu Wentai's mouth, they sounded very pleasant to the ear, and even a little moved. . It can be seen that even a sea king has to sprinkle some feed into the fish pond from time to time.
The two of them had a tacit understanding and did not discuss in detail the details of the Taihe old system. On the one hand, the system had changed greatly during the Taihe period and it was difficult to explain. On the other hand, this was not the focus at all.
The problem that the Taifu or Yuwentai is facing now is that he "really doesn't know how to love you" for his old Wuchuan brothers. The relationship between them has become a bit stiff, so that these people are no longer very enthusiastic about cooperating with Yuwentai. Beat the autumn breeze.
In everything, if you want to take something, you must give it first. Even if you want to kill someone and steal goods, you must first give someone a knife.
Before, Yu Wentai's thinking was not broad enough. After being reminded by Li Tai, he was so excited that he stayed up all night. Of course, he was not just reprimanding Yu Wenhu, but also convened his close associates in the Tai government to list the generals who could be given honor guards. and ceremonial specifications have been compiled.
At the moment, he handed the relevant books to Li Tai. After briefly looking through them, Li Tai said directly: "At present, Kai Cao's personnel are in a mess and the work is in short supply. I am afraid that he may not be able to make all the armor before the great review." Finished. Now that the Grand Parade is approaching, the matter cannot be delayed. I ask the Lord to inform Zhushoucikaifu to send people to Kai Cao immediately to discuss the matter, so that we can work together and not miss the Grand Parade. "
Yu Wentai also planned to send envoys to various offices to make quotations. When he heard that Li Tai actually planned to get together to close the door and slaughter together, although he didn't know the term "involution", he also understood the concept and played it very smoothly. So he smiled and nodded and said, "These matters will be decided by others. You can just wait in the office."
While speaking, he handed another list to Li Tai and ordered: "Regardless of whether the materials are sufficient, some of the gifts need to be purchased first, and there must be no mistakes."
Li Tai naturally understood what the boss meant, and quickly nodded in agreement, then stood up and took the list. He saw that there were indeed important Taifu confidants such as Yu Jin and Li Bi on the list.
But when he saw Zhao Gui's name among them, Li Tai felt a little unhappy. He did not hide his thoughts and said directly: "The reason why we made this reward plan is to praise the meritorious officials. If there is no audit, the general public will not be able to do it." If it is given to the masses, it will inevitably be suspected of being an excessive reward, and I am afraid it will not be enough to show the grandeur of the gift, not to mention that the current supply of armor is not abundant..."
If it were normal, Yu Wentai would not tolerate it, no matter how much he favored his valued subordinates, who dared to question him after making a decision, but now after hearing what Li Tai said, he chuckled and said, "That's not your point. The narrow-minded and superficial thoughts have been restrained. It is not up to you to judge whether Zang Wugong has made great achievements. Putting aside the unhappiness of the past, you may be grateful for his adult beauty in the near future. "
When Li Tai heard this, he naturally murmured in his heart. He just felt that there must be something going on, but for a moment, it didn't make sense.
