The Multiverse Starting from White Deer Plain

After Li Longji killed Princess Taiping and other forces, he felt deeply that the imperial power was not solid, so he ordered 200,000 troops to be recruited to lecture on martial arts in Lishan Mountain. Google search reading

"Xuanzong taught martial arts at the foot of Mount Li, and raised two hundred thousand troops, with banners stretching for more than fifty miles!" - "Zi Zhi Tong Jian"

Early October.

The Holy Master traveled from Chang'an to Lishan.

Many royal family members, nobles and civil and military ministers accompanied the emperor.

"Your Majesty is going to make me a minister of Zhongshu. I am really scared. Now I have not made any achievements and only occupy a high position. This is a disaster rather than a blessing."

"Your Majesty, please take back your order!"

Bai Gui said beside the imperial driver.

In the center of the imperial court, promotion was so easy. As the fifth-rank Zhongshu Sheren rises, he becomes the third-rank Zhongshu Shilang, which is equivalent to the Deputy Zhongshu Order. This is a sudden leap to the center of the Tang Dynasty. If there is another incident, others can call him Bai Xiang.

The greatest achievement is the merit of Conglong.

It's also quite a coincidence.

After Li Dan ascended the throne, appointments to official positions above the third rank were still in the hands of the Supreme Emperor. In order to seize power, Li Longji naturally wanted to improve his own power, and it was impossible to let Bai Gui go. Bai Gui happened to be in the center, so he was promoted several times to the fifth rank of Zhongshu Sheren.

Quite in compliance with the regulations.

After all, in the center, Zhongshu Sheren is regarded as the emperor's secretary and does not participate in political affairs.

The boss's driver and secretary should not be underestimated, and their official rank cannot be that low.

But after Li Longji killed Princess Taiping, he took over the power. The contribution of Bai Gui, the Conglong hero, could not be ignored. He was promoted from Zhongshu Sheren to Zhongshu Shengzhong... and the next one was Zhongshu Shilang.

"Meihe, since you are so talented, I will not be stingy in promoting you."

"But what you said is indeed reasonable. Promoting you to the position of Minister of the Central Committee... may be counterproductive. How about changing you to Taichang Shaoqing or a bachelor of Jixian Academy?"

Li Longji smiled and said pleasantly.

Although he was more interested in Bai Gui's talent, it would be inappropriate to appoint Zhongshu Shilang next. Now Bai Gui could understand what he meant. After resigning, he would appoint other official positions. It would be excessive and he would wait a certain number of years. , when the seniority is about the same, it is reasonable to promote him to the position of minister of Zhongshu, or even to level up the affairs, which does not violate the regulations of the court.

In the Tang Dynasty, the Shaoqing of Taichang Temple was a senior official of the fourth rank, in charge of rituals and music, and was a noble official of the Qing Dynasty.

"Although the young minister of Taichang Temple is a good person, I don't like this official position."

"Your Majesty, although I am a civil servant, I was once the top scholar in martial arts. As a rule, I can serve in various Zhechong mansions to gain experience. Now that I have done enough work as a civil servant, I would like to be a military attache, so please grant your permission..."

"I have heard that the Tubo Kingdom and the Nanzhao Kingdom colluded with each other to disrupt our borders in the Tang Dynasty."

"These are ten policies written by me to deal with Tubo and Nanzhao. Your Majesty, please take a look..."

Bai Gui shook his head, took out a memorial from his sleeve, and presented it.

The collusion between Nanzhao and Tubo was not a rare thing at this time. After all, both countries have to bear the border pressure from the Tang Dynasty. The truth that the two weak countries unite to resist the strong one will never change at any time.

"If you didn't tell me, I would have forgotten that you are the number one scholar in martial arts."

"You said you wanted to be a military attache... Well, it seems that you are interested in Jiannan Road and governing Yizhou. But first let me see how you write the memorial. If these ten proposals are feasible, I will Let you go to Jiannan Road."

Li Longji frowned and said.

It is not a good thing for a minister to have his own opinion. It is a taboo for a monarch. But now he is young and vigorous, and is planning to work hard to rebuild the prosperous Tang Dynasty. But I don’t think I can’t control Bai Gui’s thousand-mile horse. In addition, Bai Gui is indeed “loyal.” It is not feasible to not reward meritorious service. Bai Gui is also the number one scholar in martial arts. He wants to excel in martial arts. It glows and is not obtrusive.

You must know that Bai Gui was the person who secretly even rejected the Prince Consort. In the Tang Dynasty, the Prince Consort's official position was not low. If he was trusted, he would often take charge of the military...

In addition, now that Tubo is disturbing the frontier and Nanzhao is colluding with Tubo, the Tang Dynasty has been patient. If it can be cured, it will be the best.

"Tubo is located on a plateau, and it is inconvenient for the Tang people to fight. They need to train their troops and horses on it for a long time... This is the reason."

"Imitating the events of Zhang Qian in the old Han Dynasty, we found out that the power of Tubo and Nanzhao combined to defeat a hundred thousand soldiers and horses... These are the two discussions."

"..."

Li Longji read them carefully one by one.

"Meiheguo has the talent of being a prime minister!"

"The Ten Comments submitted by Prime Minister Yao can govern the country. The Ten Comments you submitted can stop the millions of troops from Tubo and Nanzhao. Seeing that the Ten Comments you wrote is so thorough, it can be seen that you have been in charge for a long time. plan."

"I do nothing but enjoy the beauty of adulthood."

"I will send you to serve as the inspector of Jiannan Road and lead the governor of Yizhou. The states of Jiannan Road can be traveled to at your convenience..."

He thought for a moment, choosing his words.

In the Tang Dynasty, the state and county system was implemented locally, but the states at this time were different from the continents in the Han Dynasty. There were more than 360 states in the country, which was difficult to govern, so roads were set up in the states as supervisory areas. However, Taoism often does not have official positions, but the emperor often dispatches inspectors and inspection envoys to each Taoism as needed to control officials of each Taoism.

"I thank your Majesty for your trust."

Bai Gui bowed slightly and saluted.

In the Tang Dynasty, ministers had not yet kneeled down to the emperor at every turn. Prime ministers and officials of higher rank still had seats in the court. It can be regarded as the real emperor and the scholar-bureaucrats ruling the world together.

In fact, in general, it is best for ministers to discuss matters with the emperor when it comes to official duties. But who made him a member of Zhongshushe, equivalent to the emperor's secretary, unlike an official from a foreign court. If he had something to tell the emperor frankly, he would gain the emperor's trust. If other ministers were allowed to explain, it would inevitably make the emperor suspicious.

"Don't go to Jiannan Road to take office yet. It won't be too late to go after this Lishan martial arts lecture."

Li Longji read Bai Gui's memorial again and again and couldn't put it down.

He loved Bai Gui's calligraphy very much. Recruiting Bai Gui as Zhongshu Sheren and drafting edicts for him was also related to Bai Gui's calligraphy. This memorial was meaningful and contained important secrets, which made him even more happy.

"I understand."

Bai Gui promised.

Now in the early Kaiyuan period, the world was dominated by prime ministers Yao Chong and Song Jing. It was impossible for a junior like him to rise to the top of the court all of a sudden. Even if you are lucky enough to become a prime minister, there is a big difference between a powerful prime minister and a powerless prime minister. During the Ming Dynasty, Xu Jie was the second assistant, and he was not the only one who followed Yange's old horse. He even married his granddaughter to Yan Shifan's son as a concubine in order to curry favor with Yan Song. This was an unimaginable thing for the second assistant. .

But for some things, if you don't do your job well and don't do your job, if you keep your mouth shut tightly and talk nonsense, you will offend and kill people.

After he becomes the Prime Minister, some things can be done.

The same is true for Zhang Juzheng.

In the twenty-eighth year of Jiajing, after reading "On Current Affairs", he stated the shortcomings of the Ming Dynasty. Later, seeing that no attention was paid to him, he endured the burden for twenty-nine years. It was not until Gao Gong was overthrown that he began to reform.

Now Bai Gui feels that it is better to wait until the time is right.

Li Longji is not Jiajing.

He will not be left alone for twenty-nine years.

What he has to do now is to make contributions and support his hopes. When the time comes, the people of the world will support him to the peak of power.

Wang Mang can do it!

There is really no need to worry about this for a while now.

"These ten discussions... I still want to take a closer look. You can go to Jinxian's phoenix chariot."

"Don't bother me anymore."

Li Longji said.
