327, entering the dynasty as a phase (seeking full order)
"After returning to Chang'an, if the princess is dissatisfied with Chide Zuzan..."
"I can also remind the sage to make peace between the princess and Zanpu!"
Bai Gui sighed.
Now that the Tubo Kingdom is destroyed, there are not many obstacles to Princess Jincheng's marriage. With his current power, he has returned with a great victory and helps make this small request. Li Longji will not disagree with this matter.
These things were nothing to him, but to Princess Jincheng, they were fate-changing events.
Although Princess Jincheng is a princess, there is a big gap between princesses. If Princess Jincheng was really favored in the palace, she would not be sent to Tubo Kingdom for marriage, and her father, King Fen, would not send her away so easily.
go out.
You can tell a lot just by looking at the treatment of Li Longji's other sisters.
Although there is no shortage of glory and wealth, there is a big difference in treatment between Princess Jinxian and Princess Yuzhen. Princess Jinxian can enter the palace late at night to ask for Li Longji, but if it were the other princesses, they would not even enter the palace.
Opportunities to meet the saint are pitifully scarce.
And the princess and her husband... were very common in the Tang Dynasty.
Li Yuan had a total of nineteen daughters, among whom Princess Gaomi, Princess Changguang, Princess Fangling, and Princess Anding all divorced and remarried; Li Shimin had twenty-one daughters, including Princess Xiangcheng, Princess Nanping, Princess Sui'an, and Princess Cheng.
Princess Yang and Princess Xincheng both divorced and remarried; not to mention Princess Taiping, the daughter of Li Zhi, and many of the daughters of other emperors remarried.
"I would like to thank the Duke of Linyi County..."
Princess Jincheng's face flashed with joy and she thanked her.
She married Tubo Zampu. It is not that easy to remarry. To a certain extent, Tubo people must be stabilized. Although this seems to be nonsense, she and Li Longji are not close, and they have no influence in the court.
I mean, this kind of nonsense can really take hold.
"I have already held a banquet in King Tubo's city, and I have invited the Duke of Linyi County to come in..."
Princess Jincheng invited.
She married into Tubo, but brought many maids and servants with her.
Tubo is about to perish, which is bad news for Tubo Zampu, who needs to leave the city to accept surrender. But for her, Tubo has been destroyed by the Tang Dynasty, and her treatment will not be bad, so she surrendered early.
The servants prepared a banquet to welcome Master Wang.
…
The destruction of the Tubo Kingdom was not sudden. Two groups of Tang troops plowed the court and cleared out almost all the forces of the Tubo Royal Court on the snow-covered plateau. In the end, they led a large army to the Tubo King's City and praised the Chide ancestors.
Pu was forced to leave the city and surrendered.
Therefore, Tubo does not deal with many affairs domestically.
After Bai Gui stayed for a few days, he took the Tang army, which was already exhausted, and prepared to return to the court.
Along with him, there were the Prime Minister Tubo and Tubo officials who were being escorted, Tubo Zampu who was under house arrest, and Princess Jincheng who was a guest of honor.
The Prime Minister is the leader of Tubo officials and is equivalent to the Prime Minister of the Central Plains Dynasty.
The supervisors sent from Chang'an were responsible for handling Tubo's domestic affairs, so as to check each other and prevent Wei Da from leaving.
On the march.
On a luxurious carriage.
"The county prince went to Chang'an to report on his duties. He discussed his merits and was rewarded. It is estimated that he will be given the title of Duke, but... I don't know how the saint will arrange the county prince's future appointment."
"As the saying goes, a general will become a prime minister, but now Zhongshu Ling, six ministers, the left and right servants of Shangshu Province, the ministers of Menxia Province... all have capable ministers. When the county prince enters the court, in terms of seniority, there are no
Maybe he is under the spotlight..."
Yang Xuanyan's eyes flashed slightly, he glanced at Xue Ne beside him, and said.
In the system of three provinces and six ministries, as a rule, the chief officials of these departments plus the title of Pingzhangshi are the prime ministers and assistants. Bai Gui was originally a fifth-rank Zhongshusheren, and now he has destroyed two countries in a row and is in the world.
, his military achievements are among the best, and his momentum is difficult for others to match. Even the emperor must avoid some sharp edges.
If we follow common sense, a famous general like Bai Gui who has made great achievements should be like Li Wei Gong Li Jing, who stayed behind closed doors after returning to the capital and complained of illness to appease the emperor.
You must know that the emperor at the time of Li Jing was Taizong Li Shimin. Li Jing was still like this, let alone the current emperor Li Longji. Although Li Longji was wise and powerful, he was not even a little worse than before Li Shimin ascended the throne. And Bai Gui's military achievements and
His prestige in the army was no less than that of Li Jing in the early Tang Dynasty.
But it is obvious that Yang Xuanyan, a subordinate official, knew that Bai Gui did not intend to thank guests behind closed doors, but was interested in getting a good deal of status.
"Although I have lived in Tubo for a long time, I also know that the Jinshi Department of Jinshi is called the prime minister in white clothes, let alone the qualifications of Zhongshu Sheren, and it is natural for him to be the prime minister of the country..."
Princess Jincheng knelt down next to Bai Gui, glanced at Xue Ne with her beautiful eyes, and spoke in support.
She is also a person who knows how to repay kindness.
Now that Bai Gui is interested in the position of Prime Minister, she does not hesitate to help and say a few kind words at this time.
There was silence for a while.
Bai Gui took a sip of the tea soup made by Princess Jincheng. It was the Tang Dynasty at this time, and tea sage Lu Yu had not yet invented fried tea, so making tea was basically tea soup with everything in it, including shredded ginger, malt sugar, and salt.
The tea brewed by sencha makers is not too unpleasant to drink and has a unique flavor.
After drinking the tea, he glanced at Xue Ne's expression and asked softly: "I wonder what General Xue thinks?"
Since Wu Zhao vigorously promoted the imperial examination system, basically the prime ministers were held by people with imperial examination background. This was a phenomenon at this time, and among the various subjects in the imperial examination, Jinshi subjects were the most important. Unlike in the Taizong Dynasty, military generals in the Gaozong Dynasty also
Able to get out of the normal state of general and entering phase.
These are hidden rules, not explicitly stipulated.
But this is generally the case with groups.
And his qualifications and merits are enough, more than enough.
The only thing I'm worried about... is that his military exploits are too great, to the point of being feared. But if he didn't have military exploits, he would have to be at least forty or fifty years old if he wanted to reach the position he is today, or the position of Prime Minister.
Get through qualifications!
Therefore, there are pros and cons to choosing this path.
"If the county magistrate wants to be the prime minister and assistant, Na... will definitely try his best to help."
Xue Ne sighed deeply, then cupped his hands and said.
Bai Gui showed great kindness to him. Not only did he plead for mercy in the second year of Kaiyuan, but in the past few years, he also praised him a lot as the coach when discussing his merits and awards.
If he doesn't agree today, not only will his conscience be troubled, but he will also be despised by everyone in the world.
"Killing relatives out of righteousness" is not so easy to kill!
What's more, although Bai Gui wanted to be the prime minister and assistant, he had no rebellious intentions. He could only be regarded as greedy for power. His agreement to help could not be regarded as a breach of loyalty.
"As General Xue said..."
"I feel much more at ease now."
Bai Gui's tense face revealed a smile and he said.
In this battle, besides him, the one who made the greatest contribution was Xue Ne. Xue Ne supported him, which was equivalent to the support of both Tang armies. If the court refused to let him be the Prime Minister, it was equivalent to denying the way for military generals to become prime ministers.
.
Li Jing did not know how to endure for the sake of the country, and ordinary generals did not understand justice so well.
