324, the case of guillotine (please complete the order)
The people who left with Bai Gui were not only him, but also many military officers from the imperial court.
Some volunteered voluntarily, while others were dispatched by the Ministry of War.
Anyone with a little foresight can see that in recent years, the main direction of the imperial court's military deployment should be Tubo. Otherwise, it would not deliberately build a new Jingnan Protectorate in Nanzhao, and at the same time let Lin Yihou have the power to control such a large city.
territory.
But on this trip, they were all young generals.
There is no veteran.
After all, veteran generals who are slightly famous all have their own positions in various armies, and they can't escape easily.
"General Pei, I heard that you have an apprentice in Shu?"
Bai Gui rode his horse, followed by a young general. It was Pei Min who participated in Jingyun's second year of martial arts with him. Pei Min was not as lucky as him. Although he got the second place in martial arts, he still
He just entered the palace and became a halberd-bearing member of the Jinwu Guards.
Of course, this official position is already very good. If you have the opportunity to serve as a halberd commander, you will be sent to the border areas, and you will be a general. But in Chang'an City, you can be regarded as incomparable to everyone.
"Yes, there is an apprentice named Li Bai. He studied swordsmanship with me for several years when he was young. Later, his family moved from Suiye City to the middle of Shu."
"This time, I will go to Shu with the Protector in my humble duty. Maybe I will see him again."
Pei Min was chatting with Bai Gui on the road. He was a little surprised after hearing this. He didn't know how Bai Duhu got the news, but after thinking about it, he should have revealed it when he was drinking with his colleagues on weekdays.
In addition, his apprentice was quite famous in the local area. Bai Gui found out by chance and asked him again, which was understandable.
"Well..., he is good at poetry and swordsmanship."
"He has been a famous child prodigy since he was a child."
When Pei Min mentioned this, a smile appeared on his stern face.
The master is also proud of his apprentice, and having a good apprentice is considered a good thing even if he boasts about it a few times. And he doesn't say it for nothing. The country has always liked prodigies from ancient times to the present, and Bai Gui is a local governor.
, if the imperial official's reputation falls in Bai Gui's ears by luck, it will be a great thing for his apprentice's future development.
"Bai, a commoner from Longxi, lived in the Chu and Han Dynasties. He was good at swordsmanship in his fifteenth year and was all over the feudal lords." - Li Bai's "Book of Jingzhou with Han"
This happened to be when Li Bai was fifteen or sixteen years old.
"I wonder if Li Bai can pick up the characters?"
Bai Gui asked with a smile.
"I have been exchanging letters with him in the past years. He has not yet been crowned, so he probably has not been crowned."
Pei Min was overjoyed. Bai Gui became interested in Li Bai after hearing his anecdotes, so he planned to give him a calligraphy impromptu. This was great news for Li Bai. He would definitely have difficulties in becoming an official in the future.
The benefits of speaking.
You must know that Bai Gui was not only a powerful figure in the dynasty, but also a great literati at this time. He had certain attainments in calligraphy, Qingci, Ci Fu and other aspects.
From now on, he will definitely serve as Prime Minister and Assistant to the DPRK!
Giving the word is to make Li Bai famous!
"How about calling it Taibai."
"But this word is not in vain. You reply to his letter and ask him to write a poem to me."
"Now we have to see how good he is."
Bai Gui said.
In this era, it is normal to appreciate talents when you hear about them.
Not only was his move not strange, it was actually reasonable.
It is also his duty as the inspector of Jiannan Road to promote talented people.
Of course, his purpose was to see if the poems Li Bai wrote for him could outweigh the poems he wrote for Wang Lun, so that he would be famous throughout the ages, become more famous, and gain a little more luck.
.
When it comes to being famous in history, with his current achievements, of course he can.
"Yes, I will reply to the letter immediately and ask him to write a poem to the Protector."
Pei Min nodded and agreed.
The gift of words is not in vain. This should be the test that Bai Duhu gave Li Bai. If the test is successful, he will be able to enter Bai Duhu's Dharma Eyes.
Of course, he would not reply stupidly and ask Li Bai to write only one poem as a gift. He would write a few more poems without wasting too much effort. This kind of opportunity is rare.
…
Ten days later.
Yizhou, governor's office.
When Bai Gui entered the government, he first summoned the governor's staff and officials to deal with the recent backlog of government affairs.
The distance between Shu and Chang'an is not far, and every ten days' government affairs will be sent to Linyi Houfu at high speed, so there is no need to worry about slacking in government affairs.
Therefore, there are not many things to deal with.
He is the number one scholar who came out of the imperial examination and is a master of history. Some government affairs issues can be handled according to historical conventions. Even if they cannot be handled, he can give appropriate methods based on his knowledge.
Prestige is established through these little things.
If you have real talent and practical knowledge, you can show it by dealing with daily affairs.
After handling the government affairs, Bai Gui waved his hand and asked his staff and officials to leave.
"Bring Zhao Ling'er over to see me."
He ordered the maid beside him.
"yes."
"master."
The maid took orders and retreated.
After a while, a little girl of several years old tiptoed over.
Behind her was a little girl in a red coat who was a few years older than her, calling "Sister Ling'er" as she walked.
"Ling'er has met Bai Shijun!"
Bai Xiuzhu has awakened from her past life, but like Bai Gui, she is well versed in the Tao. In normal interactions, she always treats herself as Zhao Ling'er, and meeting Bai Gui, her husband from the previous life, is no exception.
"Well, this is the elixir, metal and stone medicine that I refined when I was in Chang'an. There is a method for taking bait on it."
"Take it and take it yourself."
Bai Gui's expression remained as usual, and he handed a vial of jade fat to Bai Xiuzhu's hand.
Bai Xiuzhu took the elixir bottle and said thank you.
"Ling'er has learned some skills in Yizhou these days. Although it is superficial, today Bai Shijun gave me the pill. Ling'er has nothing to offer and has nothing to repay..."
"How about singing an opera for Bai Shijun to listen to?"
Bai Xiuzhu blinked her eyes, pursed her lips, and said.
Say it.
She didn't wait for Bai Gui to say anything, and started singing to herself, "The Prince Consort came closer and took a closer look. It said..."
"To deceive the emperor, to despise the emperor..."
The song is "The Case of Guillotine Beauty"!
Bai Gui broke into a cold sweat and quickly shouted to stop.
Bai Xiuzhu and the ladies from the Jin family often go to the theater to listen to plays. How could they not have heard of the famous Peking Opera "The Case of the Beauty". And his relationship with Princess Jinxian is known to almost the entire Tang Dynasty. It is getting better and better every day.
There are probably some rumors circulating in the Prefectural Governor's Office. If these rumors fall into Bai Xiuzhu's ears, they will definitely not be flattered.
His character is Meihe, which coincides with the word "beautiful" in the case of "beauty", and it also means "to tease the princess..."
This is the warning Bai Xiuzhu gave him.
"Ahem..."
"I am a poor Taoist who has devoted his whole heart to Taoism and has never thought of getting married. Ling'er, you and Yueru should go and play together."
Bai Gui regained his composure and waved his hand.
Seeing Bai Gui's appearance, Bai Xiuzhu nodded with satisfaction and followed Lin Yueru out of the study.
…
After Bai Xiuzhu leaves.
It was already evening, and Bai Gui picked the stars to gather energy as usual.
He scraped some of the Red Snow Liuzhu Pill with his fingernail, held it in his chin, and soaked it with Yujin.
Then use the method of taking gold and stone medicine to take the external elixir.
The external pills are different, and the method of taking the bait is also different.
Eating indiscriminately will kill people.
In an instant, the Xuan Fei in his body grew up visibly with the naked eye. Starlight filled the whole body, and at the same time, various kinds of cinnabar were integrated into the Xuan Fei, which was continuously tempered. During the tempering, it was nourished by the medicinal properties of Chixue Liuzhu Dan...
….
By the time the cock crows and the dog barks, the mysterious fetus in his body is as big as a basin, and all four internal organs are faintly visible. The blood vessels under the skin are also bulging out, as if a real dragon turtle is coming to life.
"In the chapter on participating in the Tongqi, nourishing one's nature and establishing one's destiny, this is how the inner elixir is described..."
"It is similar to a chicken, white and black, one inch wide in length, considered the beginning, with four to five internal organs, muscles and bones. It lasts for ten months and comes out of its cells. The bones are weak and can be rolled, and the flesh is as smooth as glutinous rice."
"Now my inner elixir can't even measure an inch in width and width."
"If I compare it to a woman's phase in October, I'm probably between May and June now."
Bai Gui shook his head and thought to himself.
He is already very fast in practicing inner elixir.
Not only because his talent can be regarded as a true immortal, but also because he has been taking the outer elixir recently, and the outer elixir sharpens the inner elixir, so he can improve so quickly. Otherwise, let alone May and June, according to the past progress, it would be March now.
