297, Nanzhao is injustice, the minister is willing to go to it (please complete the order)
After Li Longji killed Princess Taiping and other forces, he deeply felt that the imperial power was not solid, so he ordered 200,000 troops to be recruited to teach martial arts in Lishan Mountain.
"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 Emperor traveled from Chang'an to Lishan.
Many royal family members, nobles and civil and military ministers accompanied the emperor.
"Your Majesty is planning to add a confederate to you as a minister of the Secretariat. I am really frightened. 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, it is so easy to be promoted. As the fifth-rank Zhongshu Sheren rises, he will be the third-rank Zhongshu Shilang, equivalent to the deputy Zhongshu Ling. This is an instant leap to the center of the Tang Dynasty. If there is another level
If he does something wrong, others can call him Bai Xiang.
The greatest achievement is the merit of following the dragon.
It's also quite a coincidence.
After Li Dan ascended the throne, the appointments of officials of third rank and above were still in the hands of the Supreme Emperor. In order to seize power, Li Longji naturally had to promote his own power, and it was impossible to let Bai Gui go, and Bai Gui happened to be in the center, so he was promoted consecutively.
Several times, I arrived at the fifth-grade 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.
But after Li Longji killed Princess Taiping, he took over all the power. The contribution of Bai Gui, a 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 Vice Minister of Zhongshu... may be counterproductive. How about changing you to Taichang Shaoqing? How about 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 Vice Minister of Zhongshu, or even to level up the affairs, which does not violate the regulations of the imperial 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 in 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 as a civil servant, I would like to be a military attache. Please grant me 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 the 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.
It is not a rare thing at this time for Nanzhao and Tubo to collude. After all, both countries have to bear the border pressure from the Tang Dynasty. It is a principle that the weak will unite to fight against the strong, which will never change.
"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 let me first see how you write the memorial. If these ten proposals can be done, 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 bit taboo for a monarch. But now he is young and vigorous, and he is planning to work hard to rebuild the prosperous Tang Dynasty. He does not think that he can't control Bai Gui, a thousand-mile horse, and Bai Gui
It is true that "loyalty" is not an option without reward for merit. Bai Gui is also the number one scholar in martial arts, so it is not out of the ordinary for him to want to shine in martial arts.
You must know that Bai Gui was the person who secretly 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, so they need to train their troops and horses on it for a long time... This is the reason."
"Imitating Zhang Qian's incident in the old Han Dynasty, he found out and complained about Bo, and the two forces of Nanzhao combined to defeat a hundred thousand soldiers and horses... These are the two discussions."
"..."
Li Longji read it 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 criticism. There are millions of soldiers in the two countries of Nanzhao. Seeing that the Ten Comments you wrote is so thorough, it can be seen that you have been in the position for a long time.
plan."
"I don't have to worry about anything and 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 travel to your convenience..."
He thought for a while and considered his words.
In the Tang Dynasty, the state and county system was implemented in the local area, 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. But the roads were often not
There are official positions, but the emperor often dispatches inspectors and patrol envoys to each province as needed to control the officials of each province.
"I thank your Majesty for your trust."
Bai Gui bowed slightly and saluted.
In the Tang Dynasty, ministers had not yet knelt down to the emperor at every turn. Prime ministers and higher-ranking officials still had seats in the court. It was considered that the real emperor and the scholar-bureaucrats ruled the world together.
In fact, it is generally better to have a minister discuss matters with the emperor when he is appointed to an official position. But he is from Zhongshu Sheren, which is equivalent to the emperor's secretary. Unlike officials from foreign dynasties, he can calmly and peacefully deal with matters.
The emperor said that this would gain the emperor's trust more. 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. He recruited Bai Gui as Zhongshu Sheren and drafted edicts for him, which was also related to Bai Gui's calligraphy. This memorial was meaningful and contained important secrets, which made him even more interested in Bai Gui's calligraphy.
Happy for it.
"I understand."
Bai Gui promised.
Now in the early days of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, the world was dominated by the prime ministers Yao Chong and Song Jing. It is impossible for a junior like him to suddenly rise to the top of the court. Even if he becomes the prime minister by luck, 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 Yan Ge. 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.
thing.
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 28th year of Jiajing reign, after taking the essay "On Current Affairs", he stated the shortcomings of the Ming Dynasty. Later, seeing that it was not taken seriously, he endured the burden for 29 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 raise 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."
