Chapter 422 Innocent Feelings
At this time, in the big tent, as the banquet progressed, many generals were already drunk, showing their drunkenness and no longer abiding by etiquette, making the atmosphere in the tent noisy and noisy. There were even a few people who came up drunkenly holding wine glasses to have a drink with Li Tai, but the waiter nearby persuaded them away with persuasive words.
Li Tai also showed a bit of drunkenness on his face, but his mood was not affected by the noisy environment and became wild. Instead, he became calm because of Yu Wentai's few hints.
After returning home this time, whether it was Yu Jin, Yu Wentai, or other people's attitudes toward him, Li Tai clearly felt that he was now much different from before, and that he was no longer a small role that could be manipulated at will. .
Including Yu Wentai, Daxingtai, who had the favor of promoting and cultivating him, now also needs to establish a closer relationship with each other to strengthen his influence on him.
The reason is also very simple, that is, Li Tai has done what others cannot. While everyone was still squatting in Guanzhong, gnashing their teeth and scolding the East bandit He Liuhun, Li Tai had already led his army to Jinyang and made a lot of gains. This kind of actual action is better than shouting passionate slogans tens of millions of times. Be more convincing!
Nowadays, one of the core cohesion within the Western Wei regime is the confrontation with the Eastern Wei. If this contradiction no longer exists, then a considerable part of the forces will no longer actively integrate into the hegemony's rule as before.
Jinyang and his party made Li Tai an iconic figure who fought against Jinyang's overlords. In such a political environment, this was a political resource that could be directly realized.
If Li Tai no longer keeps the same pace with Bafu, then the government orders of Yuwentai Bafu will also be questioned to a certain extent. Your Bafu has gathered so many proud soldiers, but in the end, even the gates of Jinyang City are closed. If you can’t touch it, what are you eating it for?
Therefore, from the beginning of Li Tai's return, Yu Wentai repeatedly emphasized Li Tai's domineering background through various enthusiastic and explicit expressions. The most basic intention was to show the close relationship between them to the masses, especially to the court. , absolutely no third party is allowed to interfere!
Li Tai can understand Yu Wentai's mood very well, and when his power has not grown enough to really create a new prefix, there is really no need to join in and burn the cold stove of the Yuan Wei court, otherwise he will be reduced to Wang Sizheng's behavior caused the sky to fail and the earth to respond.
But although he is well-informed and knowledgeable, he is not completely without a bottom line. The reason why he has achieved today's achievements is because of his own hard work, not because he is someone's godson. Yu Wentai hinted that he would give him a name, which inevitably made him feel conflicted.
It's not that he looks down on the Yuwen family, he just thinks it's unnecessary. This surname will not bring him any practical benefits. Yuwentai will never treat him like Director Yuwen and Yuwen Hu brothers just because he changed his surname to Yuwen. You and Hedong directly allocated a piece of land to him, but instead lowered his status and became a real slave of the cattle and horses.
On the other hand, even if he does not accept this gift of surname, it is difficult for Yuwentai to directly send him to Longyou as he did at the beginning of the year. Maintaining a certain degree of self-respect and autonomy can sometimes help Yuwentai correct his attitude. Manage the relationship with each other rather than bossing him around from an absolutely dominant position.
In the blink of an eye, many thoughts flashed through Li Tai's mind. Soon, with a respectful expression showing gratitude, he bowed to the table and said, "I am by no means a perfect person. It's just because the Lord is partial to indulgence and the general's temperament." All the ugliness and demerit are exposed together. However, all the gentlemen in the household feel that I have considerable qualifications and will never dare to hide my secrets. I will definitely show them to you!"
When Yu Wentai heard this, he only said that Li Tai had agreed to his hint in his heart, and the smile on his face became even bigger.
Putting aside the calculation of interests and risks, from a personal emotional point of view, he really admired Li Tai. Looking at his achievements from entering the house in vain to today, he felt a sense of gratification and pleasure due to his cultivation. I originally intended to adopt him as my son-in-law but accidentally missed it. If I can take this opportunity to adopt him as a son-in-law, it would be a comfort to my heart.
He was planning to make the news public at the banquet, but when he turned around, he saw Li Tai sobbing with tears streaming down his face. Yu Wentai was surprised, and quickly asked with concern: "Why is Bo Shan acting like this? What's wrong?"
"No, no... I, I, I made it out of my own feelings, and I was hurt and out of temper. Please, Your Majesty, please forgive me..."
In order to keep his name and not change his name to Yu Wenxun, Li Tai also put his heart into it and consciously showed off his best acting skills. While wiping the tears on his face, he kowtowed to Yu Wentai with tearful eyes. He said: "I see that my lord cares so much about Mr. Hu Zhong, and because I am afraid that he lacks education, he even asks me to pay a small fee to a young and bad guy like me.
The Lord's deep intentions are so touching that I miss my family king even more. In the old years, when I lived in Qinghe, I had no ambition to study. The king of my family also treated his ministers with dignity and kindness just like the Lord. Because he was afraid that he would make mistakes and commit evil, he led his ministers to visit the virtuous lay people in the village, and taught them by words and deeds. Attentive to every detail…”
When Yuwentai heard this, he couldn't help but sigh: "The little thing in your arms has been reborn as a human being, and every move makes your parents concerned. Boshan doesn't have to be sad all the time. Your family's careful upbringing has finally made you not wasted. Now that you have made outstanding achievements and are famous in the world, no matter where your family lives, you will definitely be proud of it!"
"Thank you, thank you for your enlightenment, my lord. I also have this plan in mind. The reason why I went to Jinyang before was not only to repay the lord's kindness, but also to have a private plan, hoping to find some news about my father. However, there are many people who have visited, but I have never heard of my father's return. I think he is still wandering in the rivers and lakes." Li Tai wiped his tears when he said this, and then said excitedly: "I also hope that the future will be as the lord said, and my humble name can be spread to the world through this achievement, so that my father can hear about it and come to find him, so that I can take good care of him in this town and no longer suffer from the torment of filial piety!" Seeing Li Tai excited again, Yuwen Tai nodded with relief, but thinking about the past again, he couldn't help but hesitate. This kid is innocent, and he is full of fantasy that his reputation will spread to the world with his deeds, so that he can find his father. If he is given a new name at this time, although the original intention is also to care and love, it will still hinder his innocent heart. So after a little thought, he decided to give up this idea temporarily, and patted Li Tai on the back and sighed: "I am content with my duty and don't envy others, but I really have some lingering feelings for you, Boshan. I once... Oh, forget it, drink to your heart's content today, and don't let trivial matters bother your heart!" As he spoke, he personally filled the wine glass and handed it to Li Tai. Seeing Li Tai holding the wine glass with both hands and drinking it all, he also laughed and drank a glass with him. This banquet lasted from day to midnight. In the end, no one knew who got drunk and kicked over the charcoal fire in the copper stove in the tent and ignited a corner of the big tent. Everyone took advantage of the guards to put out the fire and dispersed to the camp. The next day, Li Tai, a vigorous young man, woke up early and got up at dawn. He played the game of grabbing the spear on the ground with his troops in the camp for morning exercise. He had just practiced for a while when he saw Ruohui walking slowly towards him, so he put away his posture and went forward to meet him. Seeing Ruohui holding his waist and patting his forehead, he seemed to be uncomfortable, so he went forward and asked, "What do you think is wrong?"
"After all, you are not as good as a young man. After drinking a lot, you will inevitably feel sore for a few days." Ruohui sighed after hearing this, and looked at Li Tai's youthful posture and envied him.
Li Tai remembered that Ruohui died not long after this period in history, so he couldn't help but ask with concern: "Your Excellency has been in the army for many years, so it is inevitable that you have accumulated hidden diseases and pains. You must take a good rest and recuperate before and after the festival. My fellow villager..." Ruohui waved his hand nonchalantly and smiled: "Although I still have old illnesses, it is not a big problem. Let's not talk about this. Boshan, you must be tired of hearing all kinds of praises after your return. I have a new story. Do you want to hear it?" Li Tai saw that he was quite reluctant to see a doctor, so he planned to persuade him later, and then he said curiously: "Then you must listen attentively." "Next year, the government will appoint township commanders and generals, and divide the military into domestic and foreign. Foreign affairs generals will also be dispatched by the government, and they must be supervised by the various government offices. Boshan, if you don't want to be controlled by others in the next year, you must quickly use a plan to return to the government." Hearing Ruohui say this, Li Tai knew that this was a sign that the government soldier system had entered the next stage. The previous annual review and supplement of the local music were all carried out around and against the six armies of the Bafu. Although the armed forces of the local militias of various states and counties were also reviewed and dispersed every year, they were still not incorporated into the official battle sequence of the Bafu.
Now the six armies of the Bafu have long recovered. While making supplements, the local militias of various states were also formally included in the battle sequence, and the Bafu directly commanded and dispatched them, thus forming the Zhongwai Army. Therefore, after the construction of the Fubing system was basically completed, Yuwen Tai also renamed the Huazhou Taifu as Zhongwaifu.
Ruo Yuhui told Li Tai about this. It was obvious that if Li Tai did not return to the Bafu to take a position during this period and continued to stay in northern Shaanxi, his troops would also be included in the foreign army, and both combat and garrison would be dispatched by the Zhongjun Supervisor.
The twelve generals of the Six Pillars of the State were the nominal commanders of the Fubing, but the Six Pillars of the State were honored at the beginning of their establishment, and the generals were actually in charge of the troops.
The number of generals is not a fixed number of twelve. There are reductions and additions. When a general reaches a certain level of military merit or due to the needs of war, his rank can be increased.
The so-called twelve generals are just a supervisory relationship drawn according to the scale of Chinese and foreign troops and their respective garrisoned areas when the Fubing was first established. It is not static. Therefore, if we focus on this number and personnel establishment for discussion, we will often fall into rigid formalism and fail to dynamically reflect the changes and development of the Fubing system.
Ruojue Hui was originally the main general of the reorganization of the six armies. At this moment, reminding Li Tai to return to the Bafu to listen to him was naturally quite suggestive.
