The heavens from Bailuyuan

Chapter 300 Nanzhao is unfair, and the minister is willing to go to it (seeking full version)
After Li Longji killed Princess Taiping and other forces, he deeply felt that the imperial power was not solid, so he ordered 20 soldiers to be recruited to give martial arts lectures in Lishan.

"Xuanzong taught martial arts under Lishan Mountain, recruited 20 troops, and the banners stretched for more than [-] miles!" - "Zi Zhi Tong Jian"

early October.

Shengjia traveled from Chang'an to Lishan.

Many royal relatives and nobles and ministers of civil and military affairs accompanied the emperor.

"Your Majesty is going to add a vassal to be the Minister of Zhongshu. I am really terrified. Now that I have not made an inch of merit, I am only in a high position. It is a disaster rather than a blessing."

"Please, Your Majesty, take your life back!"

Bai Gui was beside Yujia and said.

In the center of the imperial court, promotion is so easy.The fifth-rank Zhongshu Sheren ascends to the third-rank Zhongshu Shilang, which is equivalent to the deputy Zhongshu Ling.This is a sudden jump to the center of the Tang Dynasty. If there is another incident, others can call him Baixiang.

The greatest contribution is none other than Conglong's contribution.

It is also very coincidental.

After Li Dan took the Zen throne, the appointment of official positions above the third rank was still in the hands of the Supreme Emperor.In order to seize power, Li Longji naturally wanted to promote his own power, and it was impossible to let Bai Gui go, and Bai Gui happened to be in the center, so he was promoted several times in a row, and reached the fifth rank of Zhongshu Sheren.

Quite in line with the regulations.

After all, in the center, Zhongshu Sheren is regarded as the emperor's secretary and does not participate in political affairs.

The boss's driver and secretary should not be underestimated, and the official status cannot be so low.

But after Li Longji killed Princess Taiping, he monopolized the power. The contribution of Bai Gui, a hero from the dragon, cannot be ignored.

"Since you, Meihe, have talent in your chest, I will not be stingy in promoting you."

"However, what you said is indeed reasonable. Promoting you to be the Minister of Zhongshu...is likely to overwhelm the young. How about changing you to Taichang Shaoqing or a bachelor of Jixian Academy?"

Li Longji smiled and said kindly.

Although he pays more attention to Bai Gui's talent, it would be wrong to appoint the Minister of Zhongshu in the future. Now Bai Gui can understand his meaning. After resigning, he will appoint another official position as an excess. After a certain number of years When the seniority is about the same, it is reasonable to be promoted to Zhongshu Shilang or even Jiaping Zhangshi when the qualifications are similar. It does not violate the imperial regulations.

In the Tang Dynasty, the Shaoqing of Taichang Temple was a top-ranking official of the fourth rank, in charge of rites and music, and a noble official position.

"Although the Shaoqing of Taichang Temple is good, I don't care about this official position."

"Your Majesty, although I am a civil servant, I used to be the number one scholar in martial arts. As usual, I can go to various Zhechong mansions to practice. Now that I have done enough civil affairs, if I want to be a military officer, please allow me to do so..."

"I have heard that the Tubo Kingdom and the Nanzhao Kingdom colluded with each other to disturb the frontiers of our Tang Dynasty."

"This is the ten proposals written by the minister for the Tubo Kingdom and the Nanzhao Kingdom. Please read it, Your Majesty..."

Bai Gui shook his head, took out a memorial from his sleeve, and presented it.

It is not uncommon for Nanzhao Kingdom and Tubo Kingdom to collude at this time.After all, the two countries have to bear the border pressure from the Tang Dynasty, and the two weaks unite to resist the one strong, which will not change at any time.

"If you don't tell me, I will forget that you are the number one scholar in martial arts."

"You said that you want to be a military officer... Well, it seems that you are interested in Jiannan Road and governing Yizhou. But let me see how your memorial is written. If these ten proposals can work, I will Let you go to Jiannan Road."

Li Longji frowned and said.

It is not a good thing for courtiers to have their own opinions. For the monarch, it is a bit taboo.But now he is young and energetic, and he is planning to work hard to rebuild the prosperous Tang Dynasty.I don't think I can't control Bai Gui, a thousand-mile horse. In addition, Bai Gui is indeed "loyal", and it is not feasible to not reward for meritorious deeds. Glowing and hot, not obtrusive.

You must know that Bai Gui was the one who secretly rejected even the captain-in-law. In the Tang Dynasty, the captain-in-law had a high official position. If he was trusted, he would often hold military power...

In addition, now that Tubo is disturbing the frontiers, and Nanzhao is colluding with Tubo, Datang has been patient. If it can be cured, it would be great.

"Tubo is located on a high plateau, and it is inconvenient for the Tang people to fight. It takes a long time to train soldiers and horses on it... This is also an argument."

"Imitating the story of Zhang Qian in the old Han Dynasty, and finding out the forces of Tubo and Nanzhao, the combined vertical and horizontal forces are more than [-] soldiers and horses... These two arguments are also discussed."

"..."

Li Longji carefully read them one by one.

"Meiheguo has the talent of Zaifu!"

"The Ten Proposals presented by Prime Minister Yao can govern the country, and the Ten Proposals you presented can stop Tubo and Nanzhao's millions of soldiers. Seeing that the Ten Proposals you wrote are so thorough, it can be seen that you have already taken up the post. plan."

"I don't do anything for two masters, and I am happy with the beauty of being an adult."

"I will send you to be the inspector of Jiannan Road, lead the governor of Yizhou, and the states of Jiannan Road will be at your convenience..."

He thought for a while, and carefully chose his words.

The Tang Dynasty implemented the state and county system at the local level, but the state at this time is different from the continent in the Han Dynasty. There are more than 360 states in the country, which are not easy to govern, so roads are set up in the states as supervision areas.However, Taoism often does not have official positions, but the emperor often dispatches inspectors and inspectors to various Taoists as needed to control the officials of each Taoist.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your trust."

Bai Gui bowed slightly and saluted.

The Tang Dynasty was not yet to the point where courtiers would kneel down to the emperor at every turn, and prime ministers and higher-ranking officials still had seats in the court.It can be regarded as the real emperor and scholar-officials ruling the world together.

In fact, it is generally better for ministers to talk to the emperor about matters of being an official or serving outside.But who told him that he was a member of Zhongshushe, equivalent to the emperor's secretary, unlike an official of the foreign court, who could speak to the emperor frankly, and this would gain the emperor's trust even more.If other ministers were asked to say otherwise, it would inevitably make the emperor suspicious.

"Don't go to Jiannan Road to take office, wait until after the Lishan martial arts lecture, and then go later."

Li Longji read Bai Gui's memorial again and again, and couldn't put it down.

Bai Gui's calligraphy was his favorite, and he recruited Bai Gui as a scholar of Zhongshu, and drafted the edict for him, which was also related to Bai Gui's calligraphy.This memorial has something to say and contains important confidential matters, which made him even more happy.

"I understand."

Bai Gui agreed.

Now in the early days of Kaiyuan, the prime ministers Yao Chong and Song Jing ruled. It is impossible for a junior like him to jump to the top of the court all at once.Even if you become a Zaifu by luck, there is a big difference between a Zaifu with power and a Zaifu without power.During the Ming Dynasty, Xu Jie was the second assistant, not Weiyan Pavilion, who was always looking forward to the old horse. He even married his granddaughter to Yan Shifan's son as a concubine in order to curry favor with Yan Song. This was an unimaginable thing for the second assistant. .

And there are some things, if you are not in your position, you will not seek your own government, keep your mouth shut, and talking nonsense is to offend and kill people.

After he became Zaifu, he could do some things.

The same is true of Zhang Juzheng.

In the 28th year of Jiajing, after he published "On Current Politics", he stated the shortcomings of the Ming Dynasty.Later, seeing that no attention was paid, he endured the burden for 29 years, and did not start reform until the high supply was overthrown.

Now Bai Gui feels that it is better to wait until the time is right.

Li Longji is not Jiajing.

Will not shelve him for 29 years.

What he has to do now is to make meritorious service, and then the people of the world will support him to the peak of power.

Wang Mang can do it all!

There is really no need to worry about this moment and a half now.

"These ten proposals... I still need to take a closer look, you can go to Jinxian's phoenix chariot."

"Don't bother me anymore."

Li Longji said.
