The Multiverse Starting from White Deer Plain

For several months, whether it was a court meeting, hunting or bathing in Lishan Mountain, etc., Li Longji trusted Bai Gui more and often gave him generous gifts.

All these behaviors showed the emperor's favor for the new right minister.

With Li Longji's support, Bai Gui finally managed to gain a foothold in Zhongshu Province and became the chief official of Zhongshu Province.

In the three-province and six-department system, the Zhongshu Province is the decision-making department, the Menxia Province is the review department, and the Six-Ministry of Shangshu Province is the execution department. Zhongshu Ling was the chief prime minister among the prime ministers and ranked first among the chief officials of the three provinces.

However... even though he is the right prime minister, this is the official position that Bai Gui replaced after Su Ting retired, so he got it for nothing. There was also the idea that Li Longji wanted to put Bai Gui on the fire...

After all, this is a position that everyone hopes for!

Even though he destroyed Tubo and achieved great military exploits, in the eyes of hundreds of officials, it would be enough to be a minister of Zhongshu and an ordinary prime minister. If not, he would be an official of the Sixth Department. It is also feasible to add some peace of mind.

Now... he has become the chief prime minister, and he will inevitably be dissatisfied by all the officials!

However, Baiguan would not express his dissatisfaction with Bai Gui openly.

In addition, if there is no support from party members, even if he is the prime minister, he will be sidelined and the ministries will not be able to command. It's just a false title.

…

Political Hall.

discussion.

Both rows of seats were filled with prime ministers.

Basically, they are all middle-aged and middle-aged Confucian scholars with elegant demeanor, except for Bai Gui, a young man.

"Shuofang Jiedushi has been in office for five years. Let's move to Jingzhou inland..."

"What do you think, Prime Minister Song?"

Zhang Jiazhen, the assistant minister of Zhongshu, glanced at Song Jing and asked.

Among the prime ministers of the Kaiyuan period, Yao Chong and Song Jing were the most famous. Yao Chong was hailed as the prime minister who saved the time, but he was dismissed by Li Longji only in the third year of Kaiyuan. So now in the political hall, Song Jing is the loudest speaker.

Zhongshu Ling... Although this position is noble, if there is no strength, it is usually given to noble and famous ministers.

Su Ting, the former Zhongshu Ling, was the leader of the literary world at this time.

"Can!"

Song Jing is the Tianguan of the Ministry of Personnel, responsible for the dispatch of officials.

"Bai...what does Mr. Bai think?"

Zhang Jiazhen glanced at his chief officer again. Originally, the position of Zhongshu Ling was reserved for him, the Minister of Zhongshu. But Bai Gui took the lead and had solid military achievements. Although he was slightly dissatisfied, he would not miss official duties because of this.

"Prime Minister Song was your examiner during the imperial examination. He is like a mentor. Your elder was in the military and did not know about government affairs. There are many things you can learn from Prime Minister Song. Since Prime Minister Song thinks it is feasible, you will naturally second your proposal."

Bai Gui smiled and replied.

Only those with the support of party members are the real prime ministers with real power. Without the support of party members, it is just a good name. After entering the political hall, you can know how the government affairs are going, but the decision-making power is not in your hands.

For example, if Zhang Jiazhen is the official secretary of Jinzhong, Song Jing will also make the decision in the political affairs hall.

"Meihe... After your words spread, my face... ugh, I don't know where to put it..."

"You have only been in politics and the military for a few years, and you are already in the same political hall as me."

Song Jing stroked his beard with a smile on his face, but his words were blaming Bai Gui.

But anyone could hear his joy.

He was the examiner of Bai Gui during the imperial examination. Although there are still no seat masters, room masters, etc. in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, as the examiner, he overcame all opinions and ranked Bai Gui as the number one scholar. Then... this is Already equivalent to half a division.

It's nothing to be a half-master. He presided over the imperial examinations and admitted many scholars into the Jinshi department. But what makes Bai Gui's achievements so amazing? He, a half-master, is nothing like Rong!

"If you don't mind Prime Minister Song, you are willing to take Prime Minister Song as your teacher in the Political Affairs Hall and learn the essentials of handling government affairs!"

"The Prime Minister of the Song Dynasty was the prime minister of Kaiyuan, and he was responsible for the misfortunes and blessings of the world..."

"You are still young, and government affairs are different from other things. You are concerned about the country and the people, and you should not be judged easily. Therefore... I am willing to take Prime Minister Song as your teacher and follow his example."

Bai Gui's eyes revealed a hint of cowardice, and he suddenly spoke.

Parties!

What he lacks now is party members!

When he served as the inspector of Jiannan Road, although he had many staff and subordinate officials, these were not considered party members. Only officials who served in various ministries of the court could be considered party members.

If you want to establish a wide range of party members, you cannot do without the support of the official of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

It just so happened that Song Jing was the real powerful figure in the political affairs hall and his "teacher" for the imperial examination. If he followed Song Jing's lead, not only would he not be scolded, but he would also think that he respected his elders in the officialdom and respected his teachers' etiquette. This can eliminate the hostility of the officials towards him.

The most important thing is that after he worshiped Song Jing as his disciple, Song Jing's party members became his party members, and he inherited them as teachers and students. Similarly, even though he is now the right prime minister, he is not powerful and the decision-making power does not fall into his hands. He is originally a yes man...

It would be ridiculous for a dignified right minister to be a yes man, but when it comes to master and apprentice... and learn from Song Jing to handle government affairs, the meaning of his yes man is different.

"this……"

Song Jing was a little moved, with a look of hesitation on his face.

Bai Gui becoming his disciple was indeed excusable and justified. Now a dignified right minister, a man who is the ultimate military attache, is so eager to worship him as his disciple. If he says he is not interested, it must be a lie.

The hustle and bustle in the world is all beneficial, and the hustle and bustle in the world is beneficial.

The word fame and fortune is touching!

Becoming Bai Gui's teacher, he ruled for the rest of his life, and Bai Gui, as his successor, continued to rule the Tang Dynasty. This will be passed down to future generations, which is undoubtedly a good story.

Very flattering!

"Sage, you will go and tell me in person..."

"Master Song, please rest assured!"

Bai Gui said.

Seeing that Bai Gui had changed his name to Master Song, Song Jing nodded angrily and agreed.

When the other prime ministers of the political hall saw this, they couldn't say anything and could only congratulate the two of them.

If Bai Gui and Song Jing didn't have such a relationship, Bai Gui's behavior would inevitably be a bit disgusting. But whoever makes the relationship between two people really have a master-disciple relationship will be a good story wherever they go.

"Tangzhou reported urgently a few days ago that there is a fear of drought and needs to be prevented in time, and asked the court to grant the authority to open free warehouses..."

The ministers continued their discussions.

Song Jing is a veteran minister and handles such matters smoothly without any difficulty.

"What Prime Minister Song said is outrageous!"

"Prime Minister Song, this plan is feasible..."

"I agree with what Master Song said!"

Almost every prime minister nodded in agreement.

But when it comes to Bai Gui, the painting style is a bit disharmonious,

But the prime ministers felt inexplicably much better.

Bai Gui's rise to power was so fast that they felt overwhelmed.

In the past, they all had a good impression of Bai Gui and regarded him as a good young man who could take over the important responsibilities of the court, so they were kind and caring. However, Bai Gui suddenly rose to the position of prime minister and began to "fight for power" with them. After the interests were related, no matter how displeased they were, now Bai Gui had redefined his position as their junior, and they were not someone who would hold on to him, so they chose to harmoniously accept him into the political hall.
