Chapter 313 A good son-in-law is enviable
Yu Wentai didn't know that Dugu Xin was secretly holding back his anger with him at the moment. After talking about the Liangzhou issue, he felt that they had reached a certain tacit understanding. At this time, it was already getting dark, and His Majesty the Emperor had already arrived in the palace and was sitting inside. The visitor came to summon the two of them, so he stood up and went to the forbidden hall with Dugu Xin.
In the hall, when the audience announced the arrival of the two ministers, His Majesty the Emperor hurriedly stood up from the imperial seat and lowered his steps to greet them. After receiving this courtesy, the two people quickly bowed respectfully, but were stopped by the emperor's servants. They returned to the palace together and took their seats.
Emperor Yuan Baoju is not yet forty years old, and because he has been pampered all the time, he looks younger than his actual age based on his appearance, but his spirit is not as strong as that of his prime. Especially when talking with Daxingtai, he occasionally showed a certain attitude. A state of uncontrolled weakness and cowardice.
He was originally a man with a tough temperament. When he was still in Luoyang, he dared to beat, scold and humiliate Gao Huan's party members. However, after moving westward, he witnessed the loss of imperial power and all kinds of chaos, so he had to keep a low profile and protect himself wisely.
The emperor was also very interested in the latest changes in the situation in Longbian and Hexi. After some condolences to Duguxin, he tried several times to bring the topic here. Including several members of the Yuan clan who came to the palace later to pay homage, they all acted as if they were making suggestions and only asked about the situation on the other side.
Duguxin has already discussed this with Daxingtai. Although the two sides have not completely reached unity in their opinions, they still have a tacit understanding of seeking common ground while reserving differences. Naturally, they cannot lead the power of the Yuan and Wei clans back to Longyou, so they can avoid these problems. If you can't avoid it, you can only talk about it in general and not in detail.
Yuwentai was quite satisfied with Dugu Xin's response, so he did not let Dugu Xin bear the pressure alone. After a brief pause, he suggested that Taichang Qing Lu Bian and others be called in to inquire about the southern suburbs of the circle.
Compared with the situation at Longbian, which was out of reach, the emperor was undoubtedly more interested in Yuanqiu, a place for worshiping heaven. When he heard that Yu Wentai had taken the initiative to mention it, Dang even couldn't care about anything else and quickly ordered Lu Bian and others to be sent there. The ministers involved in the Circular Qiu matters were recruited together.
It also took several months from the establishment of regulations to the completion of the construction of Yuanqiu. There were many officials involved, some of whom were currently in the imperial city, while others were elsewhere. Several main counselors were rounded up and summoned, and Li Tai was among them.
After Duguxin left home and entered the palace, Li Tai returned to the Situ Mansion where he was accustomed to live. After breakfast, he dealt with some things. Seeing that it was almost noon, he planned to change his clothes and visit Lady Miaoyin. But before he could leave here, the forbidden visitor hurried into the house to deliver the order.
Li Tai was not so arrogant that the emperor couldn't get on the ship, so he didn't dare to neglect it. In addition, when talking about Yuanqiu, it was usually accompanied by a reward, so he was naturally more active. After changing his uniform, he hurriedly Go to the palace.
After entering the palace and waiting outside the palace for a while, Li Tai made some inquiries and learned that Lu Bian and others who had entered the palace before were all there to accept rewards, and the rewards were not small, so his mood naturally became even more intense.
When the visitor came to summon him, he straightened his robes and walked straight into the palace. He walked into the palace, peeked up secretly, and then kowtowed: "Your Majesty, Li Boshan, I kowtow to you."
He only called his name, and the eunuchs in the palace sang for him the series of official titles. When he heard this series of job titles, Li Tai couldn't help but feel a little complacent.
Emperor Yuan Baoju, who was sitting in the palace, had a half-smile expression on his face after hearing the specific official title of Li Tai, and his tone was also somewhat moody: "This Li Qing, judging from his age, is not yet strong. He has actually been appointed as a military guard?"
This tone seemed to be just an ordinary inquiry, but after hearing this, Li Tai, who was worshiping in the hall, and Yu Wentai, who was sitting in the hall, both changed their expressions. They were clearly looking for trouble!
General Wuwei was in charge of the Suwei, and whether he was competent or not was directly related to the emperor's personal safety. The emperor bluntly said that Li Tai had already occupied this important position at a young age, which was to say that he was incompetent and was messing around with Yu Wentai, who arranged this position!
Li Tai was not surprised by the emperor's ill will towards him. After all, in the middle of the year, he even provoked Yu Wentai to take the opportunity to beat the prince. However, he was still a little unhappy now. If I were incompetent, you would have been damned by now. The wall hanging is dry!
Yu Wentai thought more deeply. He had previously been rejected by Yu Wentai because the emperor wanted to remove Wang Mao from his position. The emperor might have been dissatisfied because of this. Now he saw that Li Tai was occupying such an important position despite his obvious lack of qualifications. If he could use this opportunity to make full use of Making a fuss out of a molehill and directly criticizing him for his unreasonable arrangement of military positions for the Su Guards would also cause a lot of trouble.
But before he could open his mouth to defend himself, Dugu Xin, who was sitting down from the table, had already stood up and walked into the palace. When he came to the side of Li Tai, who was kneeling on the ground, he clasped his fists and said to the emperor: "I also led the imperial guards in the past year." , knowing that this job is related to the safety of the country, you must not be careless!
In recent years, I have been stationed in the border area for a long time. I am not familiar with many new people and new things in the country, but I know the people and ministers in front of me very well. Li Boshan is a talented person from a famous family, a young and powerful man, and he is not young. Regarding his deeds, there are many things to describe. Si Zhisu Wei is so good! "
Hearing that Dugu Xin was so supportive of Li Tai, not only the emperor who suddenly became angry, but also Yu Wentai's eyes widened slightly in surprise. He couldn't understand why the friendship between them suddenly became so deep?
The emperor had been planning this attack for a long time, and had even imagined several responses from Yu Wentai. However, he did not expect that before the real master could speak, Dugu Xin jumped out first, which surprised and embarrassed him.
"Oh? It seems that I have listened to simple music and not noticed new things. It is really surprising that this young man can be so praised and appreciated by Lord Hanoi."
The emperor laughed dryly, easing his embarrassment, and at the same time thinking about how to proceed with the topic.
"I feel quite ashamed when I talk about this. The former grand master, Duke Langya, had a deep friendship with me. I recommended him to me several times when I was still alive in the early years, but I never took it seriously. Later, the family of the former grand master suffered bad luck and he was dying. The purpose of adopting a minister's daughter is not to alleviate the loneliness of the deceased, but to recruit good talents into the family, and to raise a daughter to Li Boshan."
When Dugu Xin talked about this, everyone in the palace was even more shocked, but he paid no attention to it and just continued to sigh and said: "At that time, I still didn't know his talent. I only thought that the old master was ignorant and sentimental, and had selfish motives. If this disciple is just deceiving the world and stealing his reputation, then the legacy of the Grand Master will be concealed and the honorable name of the deceased will not be damaged.
Now that I have seen Li Boshan, he is loyal, diligent in his duties, wise and brave, and I realize that the Grand Master's ability to observe people is beyond my ability. It's hard to apologize to the dead if I hate myself, so I can only do my best to fulfill this last wish! "
After Dugu Xin finished speaking, the whole hall was completely silent. Everyone seemed to have difficulty digesting this breaking news.
Even Li Tai didn't expect that his father-in-law would protect him to this extent. As soon as he said this, if you don't marry your daughter to me, then you will become a dishonest person!
Just when he was moved, he secretly moved his eyes towards Yuwentai, but saw that there was a will-o'-the-wisp in Yuwentai's eyes. Although he did not glare at him, the robe at his elbows was swinging at a very high frequency. If the situation was different, If so, the old fist clenched under this case may have already been smashed down.
Li Tai sighed secretly in his heart. His father-in-law was so supportive of him, so he really had nothing to complain about. Although his appearance is outstanding, he has never been a popular idol since his debut, but he is not afraid of official announcements of his relationship. But seeing Yu Wentai's expression of surprise and resentment, I was afraid that the three divisions of Yi and Tong were going to die.
The expression on Emperor Yuan Baoju's face was stiff for a moment before he regained some intelligence. He stood up, looked at Dugu Xin and said with a smile: "If it hadn't been for Duke Hanoi to tell me, I really don't know that there would be such a relationship. I made a mistake before, and Li Wuwei was able to get it one after another. The admiration and favor of all the pillars of the country must be extraordinary and amazing."
Although he held back his caution and gave Yu Wentai eye drops, he didn't want to offend Dugu Xin. I really didn't expect that a small loophole that I thought I had finally caught could be implicated in so many high-level situations. When I looked at Li Tai, I no longer took it lightly and raised my hand to sit in the hall.
When he saw Li Tai sitting beside Dugu Xin's banquet, the emperor pointed at the two people and said with a smile: "No wonder the Duke of Henei admires Shaoliu so much. Sure enough, a pair of jade men shine together in the palace. On the day when the two places will be solemnly celebrated in the coming year, please I will tell you that even if I can’t come, I will give you a generous gift to congratulate you on this good luck!”
When the father-in-law and son-in-law heard this, they quickly stood up and thanked him again. But before they had time to return to the table, Yu Wentai stood up from the table again, bowed to His Majesty the Emperor and said: "I accidentally remembered that there are still matters in the palace, and I have no time to wait for you for a long time. Please excuse me. Your Majesty." ”
After hearing this, the emperor's face became slightly stiff, but after taking a deep breath, he nodded in agreement and ordered the eunuch to send Yuwen Taili out of the palace. When Yu Wentai left, the party did not last long, and Dugu Xin also stood up and left with Li Tai.
When there were few people outside the palace, Li Taicai bowed to Dugu Xin again and said, "How lucky am I to have my father-in-law protect me like this! After the ceremony is completed in the coming year, I will repay you with a strong and everlasting love for my wife!"
After hearing this, Dugu Xin laughed twice and patted him on the shoulder vigorously: "As a close relative, I don't want to be rewarded by others. Whether the relationship is good or bad, you have to maintain it separately. Boshan, you are the most intelligent among the young people. I believe that you can handle everything both internally and externally. As long as you and your wife are harmonious, I will be proud of you."
After hearing this, Li Tai quickly nodded in agreement, and then followed Dugu Xin out of the imperial city. Along the way, many civil and military officials were seen looking at them with curiosity or surprise, presumably they already knew what was going on in the palace.
When Li Tai saw this scene, he couldn't help but feel angry. The emperor still felt that he was incompetent, so the content of the imperial dialogue was leaked to the whole city. It was not easy for anyone to do anything!
