353, the unexpected Li Longji (please complete the order)
"I...I was just quick to talk for a moment."
Concubine Wu Hui turned her back and exposed the matter.
In fact, she was right. With Li Longji's current situation, once Bai Gui resigns, she and Li Maoke will become orphans and widowers, and they will definitely be bullied by the courtiers.
"The Queen Mother does not need to worry. Although the prime minister has resigned, he still retains the military power in the world."
"The power of the imperial guards will be given to Mao'er when I leave... As for the affairs of the government, it depends on his own abilities."
Bai Gui pondered for a while and said.
There is no real power but military power. The reason why he was able to control Li Longji was because he had the military power of the Northern and Southern Yamen in his hands, which caused Li Longji to be sidelined. Although there were still military forces loyal to the emperor in other states and counties,
Obviously to no avail.
This is to hold the emperor hostage to order the princes.
Now he still returns part of the military power to Li Hao, but he will not return the political power to Li Hao. He still knows some of Zhang Juzheng's lessons. Who knows whether he will be mistaken and whether Li Hao will be the next Wanli emperor. In order to
Oppose him and oppose him, causing the great situation to collapse directly.
People's hearts are always unpredictable.
"The true identity of the Qianniu Guards on the left and right will be temporarily handed over to Mao'er and the Queen Mother. The other imperial guards will also gradually delegate their power..."
Bai Gui added another sentence.
Defenses can not do without!
Who knows what the longevity king Li Hao is thinking in his heart.
The Qianniu Guards are the emperor's ceremonial army, and they are relatively small in number. If this part of the military power is given, it will be given, and it will not cause any trouble.
It was impossible for him to hand over all the military power in Chang'an to Li Hao.
"Although the world has been at peace for a long time, Prime Minister Bai has shouldered the great responsibility of the country and cannot be left lightly. I hope Prime Minister Bai will think twice..."
Concubine Wu Hui persuaded her to stay.
Although she could tell from Bai Gui's demeanor that Bai Gui sincerely wanted to step down from his position. But who knew whether this was a trick of Bai Gui's repeated concessions.
When it comes to strategies, even if ten of them are played by Bai Gui, they will be rounded and crushed in the palm of his hand.
"Your Majesty, please don't talk about this matter again. My mind has already been made up."
Bai Gui shook his head. He then glanced at Concubine Wu Hui's expression and guessed what she was thinking in her heart, "If you want to usurp the throne, based on your true merits, you should have been crowned king long ago and given nine tins. You won't have to wait until now."
"I am a saint, not this saint!"
He made a pun.
The emperor of the Tang Dynasty was called a saint.
One is because it is said in the "Book of Changes": "The sage faces south to listen to the world, and governs towards the Ming Dynasty." The sage referred to here is the emperor, the Son of Heaven. The second reason is because the Li and Tang royal families worship Taoism, and Taoism is divided into real people according to levels.
A perfect person, a sage, a sage, "(a saint) has no hatred or anger in his heart, and does not want to leave the world... His body is not covered, his spirit is not scattered, and he can be counted in hundreds." Therefore, when he is called a saint, he wants to grow up.
Live a hundred years.
Now he is the Jin Dan Zhenren, and his lifespan is more than a hundred years old. He can be regarded as a saint.
"It seems that Prime Minister Bai really wants to... resign from the position of prime minister?"
Concubine Wu Hui looked into Bai Gui's eyes and asked word by word.
Once Bai Gui steps down as prime minister, even if he still holds military power in private, it will definitely be different from when he was in power.
"The Queen Mother should know the ambition of poor Taoist people."
Bai Gui performed a Taoist head-offering ceremony.
He is now wearing a purple robe, a goldfish bag, and a sword on his waist. He looks a bit nondescript, but his expression is calm and his behavior is natural.
In the eighth year of Kaiyuan, on the way to Lishan for hunting, Concubine Wu Hui asked him about his ambition, but he did not answer. Now that he is about to step down from the position of prime minister, he can answer the question.
Because when you are seeking power, no one will believe you if you say that you are not greedy for power or love it. But when you are in great power, if you give up power, even those who don't believe will believe it.
This is like saying that you don't love money, so if you give good deeds and accumulate virtue, you will scatter your wealth. Needless to say, everyone knows that you don't love money, and you can tell it from your behavior.
Sometimes, doing something is equivalent to saying something.
"Xiang Bai's answer..."
"Ten years is really long enough. If I hadn't had a good memory, I wouldn't have known about this."
Concubine Wu Hui glanced at Bai Gui with a faint look, and said angrily.
She and Bai Gui didn't meet many times to discuss matters, because the things they discussed were extremely important, so they deliberately wrote down the details of every meeting, otherwise no one would remember everything that happened ten years ago.
"It just so happens that when Mao'er just came over, he brought me some tribute grapes from the Western Regions. I will feed them to Bai Xiang. It can be regarded as a beginning and an end..."
She sighed and said.
If it weren't for Bai Gui's support, with her own methods, she would be able to compete for favor in the harem. But to reach her current status, she has to rely on fate. The status of the harem can be won by competing for favor, but once it comes to the position of queen and queen mother
, it must be informed to the foreign court, and the emperor and courtiers will discuss and decide together.
The emperor has no selfish things!
…
Before coming out of the harem.
Bai Gui also took another look at Li Longji, feeling the love between a king and a minister.
Give Li Longji some spiritual advice.
He has not yet used the Qi-gazing technique to observe whether Li Longji is the reincarnation of Kong Sheng or any other immortal god.
Be careful and you won't make a big mistake.
Even if Li Longji is revered as the Supreme Emperor and is no longer the Human Emperor, he was once the Human Emperor and was supreme and noble. If you use the Qi-gazing technique to observe his true nature, you will definitely suffer backlash.
Another point is that he broke through Li Longji's confusion, which can be regarded as the friendship between monarch and minister. No matter how much, the relationship between Li Longji and him has not reached that point.
"Concubine Wu Hui has a vicious heart, Bai Qing must be careful..."
When leaving Zichen Palace, Li Longji said.
The Queen Mother was given the title of Queen Mother to Concubine Wu Hui after Bai Guishu established Longevity King Li Hao. However, Li Longji obviously regarded Concubine Wu Hui as the former Concubine Hui, not the Queen Mother.
"His Majesty……"
Bai Gui was stunned and speechless for a moment.
It is impossible for Li Longji not to know about what he and Concubine Wu Hui were planning. After all, Li Longji had many princes, but Bai Gui chose to appoint the longevity king Li Hao as the emperor, which must be inseparable from Concubine Wu Hui.
Now Li Longji said that Concubine Wu Hui had a sinister mind... which sounded strange.
There is a feeling of criticizing Huaihuai.
But after Bai Gui thought about it for a while, he felt relieved.
For Li Longji, he may not have much affection for these concubines. For an indifferent king, this is not free love, so how can he have any deep feelings.
And he was kind to Li Longji for his enlightenment, and now that he has stepped down as prime minister, it has been revealed that his seizure of power was not out of selfishness, but to fulfill his ambitions...
In addition, compared to Li Longji, who was revered as the Supreme Empress and left with tea, he, the powerful prime minister, would come over from time to time to give Li Longji some pointers, which could be regarded as a friend in need.
Therefore, although what Li Longji said was unexpected, upon careful consideration, it makes sense.
Finally, Bai Gui is now in charge of the court and is Li Longji's spiritual leader. With Li Longji's character, he is just a concubine in the harem... and it is possible that he wants to please him.
