333 , the strategy of falling without trace (seeking full order)
"Prime Minister Bai, please don't say this again."
"My uncle knows that he is a lucky minister, so how can he be compared with Prime Minister Bai? If he insults Prime Minister Bai's reputation, it will be the responsibility of my uncle and his subordinates."
Li Linfu suddenly looked panicked and said.
Xing Chen, his uncle Jiang Jiao has already lost this reputation anyway.
It's no big deal for him to talk about it now. He can just explain it to Jiang Jiao when the time comes.
Doesn't his uncle know if he is a lucky minister?
But to be favored by Li Longji and promoted step by step, most people really can't resist such a temptation!
"Since Ge Nu said this, I won't force the truth."
Bai Gui took a sip of tea and said slowly.
Later generations summarized Li Linfu in just four words: sweet talk and sword.
It's like the little mouth is smeared with honey.
Although what Li Linfu said is true, it does make people feel a lot more comfortable. After all, the prince Zhongyun is a fifth-grade prince, and the flattery makes people feel soothed.
"Prime Minister Bai, I heard that Jiang Zhongcheng has been decided by the political affairs hall and will be relegated to Longxi..."
"Your Majesty..."
Li Linfu entered, closed the Yamen Gate, bowed his body, and spoke tremblingly.
His prince Zhongyun is a fifth-rank official, and Yushi Zhongcheng is also a fifth-rank official. But the fifth-rank official and the fifth-rank official are different, and there is a huge gap. Now the prince Li Ying is only a teenager, and Li Longji is now in the prime of the Spring and Autumn Period, and the East Palace
I don’t know how many years it will take to achieve success, and being a potential official is not that easy.
The Censor Zhongcheng is the second-in-command of the Censorship, second only to the Censor Doctor.
From an indifferent job to a powerful department... everyone knows how difficult it is.
"I don't know much about political affairs, so I learned from the Prime Minister of the Song Dynasty."
"Although I don't know where you got the news from, I am thinking about the friendship with your uncle. Please step back quickly and let bygones be bygones."
Bai Gui looked unmoved and scolded.
However, although he was scolding, if you are a careful person, you can guess some subtle connections from his words. He first said that he did not have power in the political hall. Since... he meant to scold, then why did he say this more often?
?!
There must be a reason.
He openly refused, but secretly he was waiting for a price.
Officials are all human beings, but there are differences between human beings and human beings.
test!
This is Bai Gui's test for Li Linfu.
He is determined to be the prime minister, and he can determine the power of the world with just one word. Then he is a loyal and upright minister, and he must be loyal to the emperor and the Li Tang royal family.
Therefore, the origin of his party members is, firstly, to promote his old friends from the past, and secondly, to find traitors who are not so firm in their stance and have certain wisdom.
Those who can be traitors must not underestimate their own methods.
"All the officials laughed at Prime Minister Bai for being the second prime minister, but the lower officials knew that Prime Minister Bai not only wanted to follow Xiao Gui Cao..."
"I am willing to be the mouthpiece of Prime Minister Bai!"
Li Linfu revealed his feelings and said.
This is a qualification only for those in high positions. He, an idle worker and a low-ranking official, has no qualifications to betray Bai Gui here. If you can show your loyalty, show your loyalty.
Secondly, even if he shows his loyalty and Bai Gui doesn't use it, he will not slander him everywhere, because once he does this, Bai Gui will never think about ruling the Tang Dynasty in the future, and no one will be willing to take him as his wing. This will ruin his future.
road.
Since there are advantages and no disadvantages, why not do it.
"Censor Zhongcheng..."
"I do have the qualifications to be a mouthpiece..."
Bai Gui knocked on the document and nodded, "But if I say anything, I will promote you to the position of Yushi Zhongcheng. It will be too eye-catching. Do you have any good plans?"
Li Linfu made it clear that he would no longer hide it.
"The official has a plan..."
Li Linfu was excited. Sure enough, he was right this time. He calmed down quickly. He had thought about various options and measures before coming. He replied: "The official asked his uncle to make suggestions to the saint and promote him. My uncle is a saint."
Close ministers, although the saint is unwilling to promote his subordinates to the position of censor Zhongcheng, he will sell his uncle a favor and bring the matter to the Political Affairs Hall to discuss the matter."
"When the imperial edict arrives at the Zhengshi Hall, the ministers will definitely reject the saint's order, because it is an act of chaos. If the Zhengshi Hall refuses, the saint will go along with the situation and never mention the matter again."
He said slowly.
Bai Gui nodded and motioned for him to continue.
"This matter is supposed to end here..."
"The lower official knows that the prince likes hunting, but excessive play will delay his studies. The lower official admonishes him based on his reason. Considering the prince's character, he will definitely be dissatisfied and scolds the lower official..."
"This matter will be reported to the saint. My uncle said that the official and the prince are not at peace, so he intercedes with the saint and re-employs the official in another government office. The matter will be handed over to the political affairs hall for discussion. When the time comes, Prime Minister Bai will only need to mention that the saint once
If you prefer to be a lower official, you can serve as Yushi Zhongcheng..."
Li Linfu said slowly.
His strategy is simple, but difficult to implement.
The difficulty is that the prime minister of the Political Hall is willing to speak for him.
He has a good relationship with his uncle. Jiang Jiao will definitely not begrudge these few words of pleading, but the difficulty is finding a prime minister.
"This plan... will go without a trace!"
"I'm so busy, I helped you."
Bai Gui narrowed his eyes, put down the tea cup, and said.
When he spoke, he could use the excuse of "understanding the Sacred Heart" or making friends with Jiang Jiao, so that he would not arouse suspicion. In the political hall, he had many second opinions, but he only made this suggestion, which was true, and Li Linfu was upright.
, having risked his life to persuade him, the prime ministers will naturally agree.
As for whether he would doubt Li Linfu, there is no doubt about it. It is precisely because Li Linfu usually has such a temperament that this incident happened to happen, and he was just admonishing the prince, but they just bumped into each other.
A censor Zhongcheng will not arouse excessive speculation from too many people.
Even if you guess what the saint is doing, most people's mouths will be blocked.
In addition, although he helped Li Linfu this time, although it seemed to be an unintentional act in the eyes of outsiders, for Li Linfu and the lower-ranking people, this was a favor of recommendation. Not to mention retribution, but a few words of common sense are also common sense.
among.
"I would like to thank Prime Minister Bai very much, and I am willing to serve you with my dogs and horses."
Li Linfu felt relieved when he saw Bai Gui agreeing, and quickly thanked him.
He is a "treacherous minister", but he is different from ordinary ministers and can see the current situation more clearly. Don't think that Bai Gui is seconding the prime minister in the political affairs hall, but Bai Gui has just entered the political affairs hall, and he can gain a foothold cleverly with one move, and he also
With the emperor's favor and deep qualifications, it is only a matter of time before he becomes the real prime minister in the future.
The master chooses his ministers, and the ministers also choose their master!
In his opinion, Song Jing's time in power must be short-lived. The emperor would not agree to a prime minister being in power for too long, so the successor is in the political hall... In terms of qualifications, Bai Gui cannot be ranked, but Bai Gui will definitely
Taking over Song Jing's political legacy, with this legacy, Bai Gui will not be inferior to any prime minister of the political hall.
Therefore, according to his prediction, Bai Gui became the real prime minister in a few years, not long after.
Therefore, instead of investing in Song Jing, who is just a flower of yesterday, it is better to invest in Bai Gui, who is about to emerge.
The vision... is farther than the average person!
"Please step back, the time for debriefing has been enough."
Bai Gui chased humanity.
He is the Secretary of the Zhongshu Ling and is also responsible for some affairs of the East Palace, so it is normal to receive Li Linfu and will not arouse anyone's suspicion.
"Yes! Bai Xiang!"
"I will resign immediately!"
Li Linfu nodded, estimated that there was enough time, and walked out of the government office.
