330, The style of painting in the political hall is not harmonious (please complete the order)
For several months, whether it was a court meeting, a hunting trip to Mount Li, bathing, etc., Li Longji had more trust in Bai Gui and frequently 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-ministry system, Zhongshu Ling is the decision-making department, the provincial and municipal review departments under his command, and the Six-Ministry of Shangshu Province is the execution department. Zhongshu Ling is the chief prime minister among the prime ministers, ranking first among the chief officials of the three provinces.
However... even though he was the Right Prime Minister, this was the official position that Bai Gui replaced after Su Ting retired, and it was a waste. At that time, Li Longji also wanted to put Bai Gui on the fire...
After all, this is a position that all officials hope for. Bai Gui defeated Tubo again and achieved great military exploits. He can be a minister of Zhongshu, add some ordinary affairs, and be an ordinary prime minister. Now Bai Gui has become the chief minister.
The prime minister was also dissatisfied by all the officials.
However, the officials would not express their 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.
…
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 does Prime Minister Song think?"
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 are the most famous. Yao Chong was known as the prime minister who saved the time, but he was dismissed by Li Longji only in the third year of Kaiyuan. Therefore, the loudest speaker in the political affairs hall now is Song Jing.
Jing.
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 took another look at his chief officer. Originally, the position of Zhongshu Ling was reserved for him, the Minister of Zhongshu. But Bai Gui took the lead and had a solid military background. Although he was slightly dissatisfied, he still
Don't miss official business because of this.
"Prime Minister Song was your examiner during the imperial examination. He is like a mentor. Your elders were 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 the proposal."
Bai Gui smiled and replied.
Only those who have the support of party members are called real prime ministers. Those who do not have the support of party members have a good name. After entering the political hall, they can know how the government affairs are going, but the decision-making power is not in their hands.
For example, if Zhang Jiazhen was the official secretary of Jinzhong, Song Jing would also be in charge of the political affairs hall.
"Meihe... After your words spread, my face... ugh, I don't know where it will be..."
"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 and smiled, but his words were blaming Bai Gui.
But anyone can hear his joy.
He was the examiner of Bai Gui during the imperial examination. Although there are still no sitters, 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
It is already equivalent to half a division.
It's nothing to be a half-master. He presided over the imperial examination 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 You!
"If you don't mind Prime Minister Song, you are willing to learn from 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 controlled the world's misfortunes and blessings..."
"Your Majesty is still young, and government affairs are different from other things. He cares about the country and the people, and should not be judged easily. Therefore... I would like to take the Prime Minister of Song Dynasty as my teacher, and follow his example."
Bai Gui's eyes revealed a hint of cowardice, and he suddenly spoke.
Partisans!
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 in 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 a real powerful figure in the political affairs hall and his "teacher" for the imperial examination. He followed Song Jing's lead. Not only would he not be scolded, but he would be considered to respect his elders in the officialdom and respect his teachers' etiquette.
This can eliminate the hostility of 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 has no decision-making power.
His hand was 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 disciple... and learn from Song Jing to handle government affairs, the meaning of his yes man is completely different.
"this……"
Song Jing was a little moved, with a look of hesitation on her face.
Bai Gui's decision to become his disciple was indeed excusable and justified. Now that a dignified Prime Minister and a top military attache is so eager to worship him as his disciple, it must be a lie if he says he is not interested.
The hustle and bustle in the world is all beneficial, and the hustle and bustle in the world is beneficial.
The words fame and fortune are 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 later 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 disdainful. But if the relationship between the two of them is truly master and disciple, it will be a good story wherever they go.
"Tangzhou reported urgently a few days ago that there is a fear of drought and it is necessary to prevent it immediately, and asked the court to grant the authority to open free warehouses..."
The ministers continued to discuss matters.
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 also agree with what Master Song said!"
Almost every prime minister nodded in agreement.
It's just that 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, Bai Gui suddenly rose to the position of prime minister.
, no matter how you look at it, it is not pleasing to the eye. Now that Bai Gui has redefined his position as their junior, they are not someone who can't catch him, so they chose to harmoniously accept him into the political hall.
