458, praying for rain, master, I will! (please complete order)
"only……"
"With such a talent, I made him Qingque's teacher. And Qingque had just become his apprentice. As time went by, Qingque..."
Li Shimin was happy, but also worried.
Compared with other emperors, he was relatively sensitive to the aspect of "brothers, friends and brothers". After the Xuanwu Gate incident, he had been trying his best to avoid causing trouble to Xiao Qiang.
The best way to avoid causing trouble for Xiao Qiang is to fully support the prince's party so that the prince can have enough advantages to crush the other heirs. Fortunately, the prince Li Chengqian did not exceed his expectations. He is "intelligent in nature", "specially intelligent" and "Ren Xiaochun".
"deep", "beautiful and handsome".
This is also the reason why Li Tai wanted to learn calligraphy from Chu Suiliang, but he declined. He found a junior official for Li Tai who was good at calligraphy, and promoted this junior official to the eighth rank Zuo Shiyi.
But now..., this small official is not simple. From this memorial alone, you can see a few talents. Although he is not as good as the Gong Gongs in the court now, after more than ten years of training, he will definitely have it.
Qualifications and strength comparable to Zaifu.
You can know its flavor by tasting the ding.
"Qingque is still young, and Cheng Qian and Qing Qian also respect and love each other. I know His Majesty's heart personally, and I want to take precautions. But since the matter has become a reality, why not trust Qing Qian and Cheng Qian."
Queen Changsun advised.
The palms and backs of her hands were full of flesh. No matter how sensible she was, this time Li Tai's apprenticeship was thwarted, and she already felt a lot for Li Tai, his son. If she continued to guard Li Tai, his son, she, as a mother, would also suffer
I can't bear it.
Although Li Shimin was worried, he thought that he was still young and full of energy, and his two sons were still young, so after this idea passed through his mind, he did not mention it again.
…
After the performance, on the third day.
Morning meeting.
Li Shimin commended several officials who wrote good memorials, including Bai Gui. Li Shimin also assigned Bai Gui another official, who was temporarily the county magistrate of Zhouzhi County to carry out the strategies implemented in the memorial.
Although the methods mentioned by Bai Gui in the memorial are all in order.
But as an emperor, you cannot trust others easily. Once the central government issues an order, it will affect not one place, but a state, or even the whole country. You must not be careless.
Let Bai Gui be the county magistrate temporarily just to see if the method is feasible.
Can it be implemented in all states and counties in Guanzhong?
Zhouzhi County is close to Chang'an City, and in later generations it was one of the two counties under the jurisdiction of Chang'an. It is not far from Chang'an, more than 20 miles away, and can be reached in less than an hour.
The county magistrate is second only to the county magistrate and is not a permanent official position.
Bai Guida dared to present the memorial, so naturally he was not just talking nonsense, he had already figured out a set of effective methods within a month after he learned about the Dragon Girl in Dongting.
Three days later, the emperor patrolled Zhouzhi, inspected the crops, and returned with great joy.
Therefore, on the next day, with the unanimous consent of all the prime ministers in the Political Affairs Hall, the Zhongshu Province drafted the decree, the Menxia Province reviewed it, and the Shangshu Province implemented it. The decree was issued to Guanzhong and surrounding counties and counties, and all implemented Baigui's law.
The drought in Guanzhong has also affected neighboring Liangzhou.
The Liangzhou government announced a notice, and Taoist Zheng from Qingshan Temple in Wuwei City also learned of the matter.
"Unexpected, unexpected..."
Taoist Zheng looked at the newspaper and shook his head, feeling extremely surprised.
This apprentice gave him a lot of surprises.
In the residence newspaper, Bai Gui's name was clearly listed. It was the official who submitted the report this time. He was notified by the government throughout the country and became famous all over the world.
"Pindao thought that after practicing Taoism, he had enlightened his wisdom and was lucky to pass the imperial examination. But he didn't expect that his ability was not only that..."
Taoist Zheng murmured to himself.
If he had known in advance that Bai Gui had this ability, he would never have let Bai Gui seduce the Dongting Dragon Girl. Because after Bai Gui and the Dongting Dragon Girl achieved good things, Bai Gui had the Dongting Dragon Palace as a support, even he would not
Dare to underestimate. Bai Gui, a good disciple, is equivalent to giving up to Dongting Dragon Palace.
Don't think this is just a memorial or a national policy. But it means that Bai Gui is not an ordinary person, but an extremely smart talent. This kind of talent is more precious than some fairy treasures.
An army of thousands is easy to obtain, but a general is difficult to find.
The reason why Dongting Dragon Palace invested in Bai Gui is because Bai Gui showed his talents and was worthy of Dongting Dragon Palace's investment. Dongting Dragon Palace has no shortage of monks with ordinary cultivation. But Dongting Dragon Palace is very lacking in talents like Bai Gui.
.
Being smart and having a brain are not the same.
Taoist Zheng was not a fool and he understood this.
"Husband, what's wrong?"
Zheng Pan looked at Taoist Zheng doubtfully and asked.
She knew that her husband had always been mature and steady, with a gloomy personality. This was the first time she had seen such an attitude when she stayed at Qingshan Temple.
Taoist Zheng said nothing and handed the newspaper to Zheng Pan.
This newspaper was obtained by him from the government through magic.
"Your brother?"
"Your brother went to Chang'an and even became a high official? Husband, why didn't you tell me about this earlier?"
When Zheng Pan read the newspaper, she found that she was from Zhangtai. Even though she was not an oiran, she could read and write well. After reading the newspaper, she quickly found Bai Gui's name.
Official, that’s an official!
And he is a capital official in Chang'an!
Thinking of "Brother Noble" in her heart, she couldn't help but stand her legs together, making them tight.
"Slut!"
Taoist Zheng gave Zheng Pan a cold look. Zheng Pan's thoughts, thoughts and deeds could not be hidden from his eyes.
…
Chang'an, Imperial Palace.
Li Zheng Hall, Li Tai's palace.
After the success of the experimental field in Zhouzhi County, Bai Gui was also dismissed from the post of magistrate of Zhouzhi County. When he returned to Chang'an, he took up the idle position of Zuo Shiyi under his family.
As for promotion, there is no rush yet.
What you need to be an official is to guard against arrogance and impetuosity.
His merits have been remembered by the Ministry of Personnel and Li Shimin. As long as there is a vacancy in the province, or there is a suitable vacancy in other departments of the central government, he will be promoted to a higher position.
If you don't even have this patience, there is no need to be an official.
As usual, Bai Gui teaches Li Tai calligraphy every half a month.
However, when he taught Li Tai this time, Li Tai's attitude was much more considerate than when he met Bai Gui before.
The same goes for Princess Li Lizhi of Changle on the other side.
"Teacher, these days, I have been alone in the palace. My father and mother have taught me and asked me to learn more practical skills from you, so that I can become a vassal in the future and become a good king."
After Li Tai finished copying the calligraphy, he suddenly said.
His address to Bai Gui changed from sir to teacher.
A little closer.
"oh?"
Bai Gui paused for a moment, turned around and glanced at Li Tai. Li Tai was very similar to him in this way, he knew the principle of following the stick when beating a snake.
Know how to look for opportunities.
Li Shimin asked him to only teach Li Tai calligraphy, but did not teach him anything else. As for what Li Tai said, Li Tai or Empress Changsun mentioned it, but it was just a casual comment, more of a lesson to his son.
"Your Highness, look at this cursive script and then look at this regular script, I don't know which one is the best."
Bai Gui smiled and did not refuse Li Tai clearly, but pointed to several calligraphy sheets placed on the long table.
"Regular script...excellent."
Both copybooks were written by Li Tai, so he hesitated for a moment before giving his answer.
Cursive script, written by a beginner, is not worth reading.
He began to learn regular script when he was a child. Over time, although it was not of the highest quality, it could be discerned.
"Short of change, constant change is worse than constant change."
"Elders, all cursive and regular scripts have been mastered by the gods. If you do it at will, it will become a treasure for others."
Bai Gui said lightly.
The voice fell.
Li Tai immediately shrank his eyes and understood what he meant.
Long and short seem to be talking about people who are good at calligraphy and people who are not good at calligraphy. But after thinking deeply, he understood that this was Bai Gui's advice to him. Long and short are not calligraphy, but age.
.The elder is Prince Li Chengqian, while the younger is him.
He is young, just like cursive script and regular script, he is always better than ever. There is no need to do anything false, he just needs to be a virtuous king quietly. Opportunities will come naturally.
"Thank you, Teacher, for your teaching."
Li Tai cupped his hand and thanked him.
Although the palace maid and Li Lizhi on the other side heard this sentence, they did not understand its meaning without putting themselves in the situation.
Even if the palace maid told the emperor and empress about these words and deeds, and the empress saw it, Bai Gui would not have any problems. These words were admonishing Li Tai and asking Li Tai to stay on his own.
After teaching, Bai Gui packed up his things and left the Li Zheng Hall.
But as soon as he reached the palace wall, Li Lizhi ran out with a flushed face and panting, and stopped Bai Gui.
"Mr. Bai, my father is going to ask me to marry that idiot Chang Sun Chong."
"This princess doesn't want to marry him..."
After saying that, Princess Changle looked at Bai Gui expectantly, hoping that Bai Gui could give her some guidance. The most people she saw in the palace were maids and eunuchs. Apart from that,
She was from the Changsun family. After thinking about this, she could only tell Bai Gui, the teacher, that there might be a way.
Others may have methods, but they are just reticent and dare not say anything.
Today's Bai Gui, in her eyes, is extremely smart. After all, it is said in the mouths of his father and queen.
"This matter... is a private matter of the Tian family. Please forgive me, princess..."
"I have no idea."
Bai Gui glanced at Li Lizhi, who was only half as tall as him, hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said.
The expectation in Princess Changle's eyes instantly turned into disappointment. She forced a smile, then bowed and saluted: "Mr. Xie Bai, the beauty, please stay."
After saying this, she turned around and left without any further entanglement.
At the courtyard steps, the roadside is lush and green.
Bai Gui walked out of the palace wall. He shook his head and didn't pay much attention.
Li Lizhi was born as a princess, and even if she did not marry Changsun Chong, she would marry the son of another hero. This was not the case with Li Shimin's other princesses.
…
Chang'an, Shunchangfang, Baizhai.
For his merits, Bai Gui was rewarded with a thousand pieces of gold by Li Shimin. Furthermore, because he was an official, Yaxing quickly found a suitable mansion. After purchasing it, he moved in immediately.
He walked to the alley and was about to open the door and enter the house.
At the entrance of the street, he saw a middle-aged Taoist priest in yellow robe standing quietly at his door.
"The disciple has met the master."
Bai Gui came forward to greet him.
"Disciple, there is a severe drought in Guanzhong. You have done a good job and the report has been spread all over the world. I have learned about it. But you don't know. I have another spell called praying for rain, which can alleviate this disaster."
Taoist Zheng hid his hands in his sleeves and said calmly with his hands behind his back.
