Chapter 596: Not a Military Talent
Recently, there has been an endless stream of people coming to visit Li Tai's home. Compared with other visitors, who were cheering and following each other, Yu Wenhu was much more low-key.
He only brought one personal soldier with him, and he himself was not an angry horse. The master and servant came to the door in a low-key manner and handed over the name card. Because there were so many visitors, the doorman did not recognize him immediately. He first led the people to the front hall to settle down for a while, and then handed the name card into the mansion.
It wasn't until Cui Yansheng, who was in charge of guest affairs, was looking through the name cards to confirm the next guest to meet in the hall, that he realized that Yu Wenhu had also come to visit him, and he quickly reported the matter to Li Tai.
Li Tai searched again and found Yu Wenhu sitting in a corner of the front hall.
Although he received such a cold treatment, Yu Wenhu remained calm and calm and did not show any signs of anger. When he saw Li Taixun coming, he stood up and said with a smile: "It is rare for Boshan to live alone in the house. There must be many visitors, and I don't care." Please don’t take offense to your hard work.”
"What did Brother Sabao say? Spending time at home after official duties is just to gather with relatives and friends. The presence of good friends will refresh your mind and make you feel good, and any fatigue will be instantly relieved."
Li Tai took Yu Wenhu's hand and returned to the middle hall, and ordered Cui Yansheng to go to the front hall to inform all the guests who were still waiting that he would no longer entertain guests today. Those guests would either stay and be entertained by their families for a meal, or Please leave first and come back another day to meet.
Hearing what Li Tai said, Yu Wenhu was quite flattered and apologized to Li Tai repeatedly for disturbing his master's normal social interactions with his visit.
The more humble this guy looked, the more Li Tai felt a little nervous. To be honest, based on his position and power in the gang, he really doesn't need to be afraid of Yuwenhu. But what can I say about Yuwenhu? Because of his blood status, people dare not completely despise him.
This guy is one of the few members of the Yuwen family who are still alive and can see people. No matter what mistakes he made and how Yuwentai treated him, he always represents the face of the Yuwen family to a certain extent.
You can say that Yu Wentai is ugly, and he might just laugh it off, but if you say that the tumor on his neck is disgusting, he will hate you to his core. To expose others but not to expose shortcomings, Yuwenhu is the tumor on Yuwentai's neck. Although it is indeed unsightly, you have to say it is a blessing.
Yu Wenhu did not explain his intention immediately, but waited until the food and wine were served and chatted with Li Tai while drinking. They just talked about old friendships, praised Li Tai's internal and external achievements, and congratulated him on reuniting with his family in Kansai.
While the wine was intoxicating, Yu Wenhu gradually began to get emotional, and the expressions on his face became exaggerated and changeable. He suddenly held his face and started crying. At the same time, he choked with sobs and said: "The young man from Boshan has achieved great success and has repeatedly achieved extraordinary achievements. It is really disappointing. People envy you. Looking back on myself, I am no longer worthy of being your friend! Especially after the defeat in Heyang the year before last, many heroic ambitions in Kansai were lost in my hands. Even if the people did not complain in person, I would be ashamed to be in front of others..."
When Li Tai heard what he said so sadly, he sighed and said a few words of comfort: "The moon waxes and wanes, things wax and wane, and everyone has his own plans, but whether he can succeed or not depends on luck. Brother Sabao, you If you have tried your best, success will be gratifying, and there is no need to blame yourself too much for failure. As time goes by, there will be a moment that will amaze the world. "
When people are sad, the comfort and encouragement from others won't actually have much effect. They can only comfort themselves, or they may see that the situation of others is more miserable than their own.
Li Tai felt that his words were not very convincing, but after hearing this, Yu Wenhu looked enlightened and felt the same way. He hugged Li Tai's wrist with both hands and sighed: "Every time Bo Shan persuades me, The words always make people feel a lot! I ask myself that I always try my best and dare not neglect in every situation, but the results are always contrary to the vision and unsatisfactory.
If things are like this, I am mediocre and unworthy of my duties. But if everything is like this, is it ruined by others or by luck? If I am the only one who has this doubt, it is because I am self-pretentious and refuse to admit my own ugliness. But Jin Boshan also feels the same way. It seems that I have indeed failed to adapt to the current situation..."
This guy was really hit by the reality and was a little confused, and he actually started to look for excuses in numerology. But I have to say that this idea does make some sense. Today's Yuwenhu is really a bit unconventional.
Even in the period of history when Li Tai was not involved, Yu Wenhu was unknown and had little performance. He reached middle age in a blink of an eye. It was not until the death of his brother that he began to gradually rise to prominence. It was even more remarkable after the death of his uncle. Now, I will directly fight for power to reach the full level, and torture the old guys and the little ones to no avail.
"So I would like to ask Bo Shan, can you introduce me to the palace? I know that you are planning a big plan, and the palace must be short of manpower. Although I am not known for my talents, whether it is writing or filling in formations, if I can serve you , I will try my best to help and never slack off!”
When Yu Wenhu said this, there was a bit of determination in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "In the past years, when planning for things, it might be said that the luck was not good and there were regrets every time. But Boshan's momentum is like a rainbow, and everything must be done successfully, and everyone can see it. , if I follow Bo Shan to serve and still cannot sing a song of victory, then I know that my fate is indeed perverse and I can't save it. From now on, I will live indoors. If I can educate a few virtuous people for my country and my family, my life will be considered worthwhile... "
After Li Tai heard these words, he was so angry that he wanted to scold his mother. If you feel that your fate is not good, why don't you go home and marry a little wife to cheer you up? Is my plan to plot Jiang Han just to tell your fortune?
However, this guy is usually unreasonable, and now he is a little stunned by the reality. In addition, the matter is still unresolved in Taifu, and Li Tai is not sure whether his coming to apply for a job is his own intention or that of Daxingtai. Instruction, if you refuse rudely, I don’t know what trouble will happen.
So after pondering for a while, he then said: "I couldn't bear to see Brother Sabao so depressed. It is just a very simple thing for me to set aside a seat in the house for Brother Sabao to come and work with me. Regarding the matter, Brother Sabao can join the job now and follow orders.
But I want to ask Brother Sabao, do you really want this? Based on the friendship between me and Brother Sabao, if you insist on having your own way, I will definitely help you, even if the matter itself is wrong, and Brother Sabao does have a better choice.
It is human nature and understandable for people in trouble to hope for help. If you are just an underachieving person and can hide your incompetence due to the help of others, you can also deceive yourself and show off in front of others.
But I know that Brother Sabao is arrogant and may not be willing to follow this trend. Otherwise, with this bloodline and background, Brother Sabao would be able to stand proudly in the world and enjoy glory, so why bother to work hard to achieve success?
What I say now is not to shirk the blame. If brother is willing to make the sacrifice here, he can come at any time. However, I just hope that brother Sabao can think clearly for himself and not to give up his life just because of a temporary setback. "
When Yu Wenhu heard Li Tai's words, his face suddenly showed a confused look.
Frankly speaking, of course he is not willing to submit to Li Tai's family. Even if he pursues meritorious deeds and proves that he is not useless, what he feels more deeply is probably that he sees this as a shame.
But this is a way out that his uncle pointed out to him, and he himself has been unable to find the direction of study after being trapped for a long time, so he gave it a try. Now that Li Tai spoke so frankly and agreed to his request, he also bluntly said that he didn't have to do this at all, which made him feel entangled for a while.
"Thank you Bo Shan for your generous help! To be honest, seeing Bo Shan becoming more and more powerful but me still being unable to praise the world, I occasionally feel a bit jealous. Even in difficult situations, Bo Shan still doesn't give up. , makes me, makes me feel ashamed..."
When Yu Wenhu said this, he also looked ashamed, and then spoke again: "What does Boshan mean when he said that I can have a better choice? I don't think that working in your house is a sign of humiliation. It's just that the authorities are obsessed with it." , I want to use Yang Boshan, a bystander, to give me some guidance. Is there any better way for me to serve my country?"
"Since Brother Sabao has asked, I will tell you the truth. From what I have seen, Brother Sabao is indeed lacking in military talent. Soldiers are responsible for important things, and they have plans for their actions. Once they carry a heavy load, no matter whether they win or lose, they will always have more than enough. calamity."
Yu Wenhu was asking for advice humbly, but he didn't want Li Tai to give him a decisive blow when he came up. He raised his eyebrows for a moment and even though he wanted to refute, he took a deep breath and suppressed it, then put on a humble expression and listened carefully. .
"Human nature is different, and talents are different. Brother Sabao, although you are not a military officer, you can control the chaos without losing strategy. The Lord has some praise. Many Taoist households rely on brother Sabao for family affairs. And the management of the family is as good as There are many similarities in governing affairs. Killing is unjust and living people are virtuous. What Brother Sabao possesses is not the courage of ordinary people in troubled times, but the political talent of a man who has a lot of grain and a good life. "
In order for Yu Wenhu to confirm that he was indeed a piece of fine jade, as long as he engraved "Ordered by Heaven, Live Long and Prosperous" on it, it would be a proper national jade seal. Li Tai also praised him generously, making him feel small. The temple cannot accommodate the giant Buddha.
Yu Wenhu, who had been hit by reality and denied by the world, suddenly heard these compliments and encouragements, felt greatly in his heart, and simply opened his heart to Li Tai, and then said: "Actually, actually I also deeply feel the merits of my talents, and I am also somewhat scheming. However, I have failed too much in the past and am still a sinner. I, I originally wanted to go to Hedong to appease the loyal ministers and righteous teachers there. I will summarize all the methods that you have devised before, Boshan..."
