The heavens from Bailuyuan

Chapter 331 Dai Guogong! (Seek full order)

The class teacher returns.

Li Longji led a hundred officials out of Chang'an thirty miles to meet him.

The Tubo Kingdom is different from a small country like the Nanzhao Kingdom, and it is also different from the Eastern Turks. The Eastern Turks were destroyed at least once by Li Jing's army, and the Tubo Kingdom, as an enemy of the Tang Dynasty, has been harassing the border. a compromise.

Moreover, the strategic significance of destroying Tubo country to Datang is inexhaustible.

The tired army stopped when they saw Shengjia.

There are fine wines and meat meals that have been prepared in advance.

The main generals headed by Bai Gui and Xue Na were invited by Gao Lishi before the holy car.

"My ministers, see your Majesty."

The general salutes.

"You generals have worked hard, and you will be free of courtesy."

Li Longji laughed.

After he finished speaking, he looked at the two leading coaches, "This time, Tubo's national decision depends on you two, Bai Qing and General Xue..."

He paused.

Gao Lishi announced the decree and set a reward.

Without exception, as Yang Xuanyan said, Bai Gui made a lot of contributions this time, and was directly promoted from the County Duke to the Duke of the State, and was named the Duke of Dai.

As for the two titles of county king and prince, only the children of the royal family can be awarded. If the courtier reaches the top, he will be the Duke of the country. Unless he has made great contributions, he has to be crowned king.

And Xue Na was also canonized as Duke of Pingyang County.

The Duke of Pingyang was Xue Rengui's original title. Because of the defeat of Dafeichuan, Xue Rengui was dismissed from his post and dismissed as a commoner. Therefore, the significance of making Xue Na the Duke of Pingyang this time is self-evident for Xue Na, which is equivalent to washing him away. The shame of his father Xue Rengui.

"Thank you, Your Majesty Ron..."

Hearing the award, Xue Na half knelt on the ground excitedly, tears streaming down his face.

Li Longji personally helped Xue Na with a smile, and with some words of encouragement, he said that Datang had not forgotten Gong Yunyun of Pingyang County, and he gained Xue Na's loyalty easily.

"Duke Dai..."

Hearing the words, Bai Gui pondered for a while.

In this world, his ancestral home is Jinyang, the prefecture is the Bai family of Jinyang, Jinyang is not far from Dai, and Dai was destroyed by Zhao Xiangzi.Therefore, according to the place of his ancestral home, it is very appropriate to make him the Duke of Dai.After all, Zhao Guogong is the title of eldest grandson Wuji, which is a bit taboo.

But..., there is another point, the title of Dai Guogong was originally Li Jing's title, and later Li Jing changed it to Wei Guogong.Before Li Jing took refuge in the Tang Dynasty, he was the magistrate of Mayi in the Sui Dynasty. The place of Mayi was in Daibei, so it was very suitable to be named Duke of Dai.

Similarly, the title of Dai Guogong, Guo Ziyi's title of Dai Guogong before Jinjue Fenyang County King in the future.

Li Longji named him Dai Guogong, which obviously has a deep meaning.

"As expected of Tang Minghuang."

"This title means that I want to learn from Li Jing? Resign by yourself and thank guests behind closed doors?"

Bai Gui's expression remained unchanged, he thought.

The reason why some uneducated generals died tragically was because they didn't understand the emperor's hints. In the court, there were open spears and hidden arrows, and some words could not be said clearly. They had to guess and comprehend completely by themselves.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your generosity!"

Bai Gui also saluted and thanked him.

"Bai Qing doesn't need to be too polite, you and my ministers, why should you care about these empty etiquettes, I have thought about beauty and you for a long time."

"The court in the pavilion hall is reserved for Mei and you."

Li Longji stepped forward and held Bai Gui's hand affectionately, like a king and a minister.

In fact, that's right, compared to Xue Na, a veteran, the relationship between Bai Gui and Li Longji is undoubtedly much closer.

"Back then... His Majesty ordered the minister to go outside the town, saying that he wanted to sharpen it. Now that the minister has completed the work, after eight years, the minister is willing to write an edict for His Majesty's Zhongshu Scholars, and for His Majesty..."

Bai Gui also changed his demeanor, pretending not to understand Li Longji's implication, and spoke sincerely.

He said that he wanted to give up others for Zhongshu again. One was to reply to Li Longji’s nostalgia for nostalgia, and the other was to make progress as a retreat. Being a member of Zhongshu Sheren, the deputy Zhongshu Ling (Zhongshu Shilang) is considered to have wronged him, at least he should be given the position of chief official of each department.

Li Longji: "..."

He glanced at Bai Gui suspiciously. He didn't believe Bai Gui's intelligence and knowledge, and didn't understand what he meant.

Must be pretending to be confused.

However, even if he knew this in his heart, he couldn't bear to be surprised. After all, Bai Gui is only nearly thirty years old now, and he is in his prime, but it is different from Li Weigong's age when he closed his door to thank guests. The mood between the two is naturally different... …

Similarly, it is indeed a bit unbearable to ask him to abandon Bai Gui.

"Princess Jinxian and Bai Qing have a very close relationship. I want to marry her to Duke Dai. I don't know what Bai Qing thinks?"

Li Longji gritted his teeth and said.

When he mentioned the three words Dai Guogong, he deliberately emphasized his tone.

In addition, the word he used was to marry, not to make Princess Bai Guishang.The difference is huge.One is equivalent to recruiting a "husband-in-law", and being a captain-in-law is not a good thing, and the other is a normal marriage, marrying Princess Jinxian as a legal wife with the title of a prince on behalf of the country, and the rest of the concubines can also be married. .

Of course, no one would really try to take a concubine.

Only in terms of regulations, there is this power.

"The Xiongnu are not destroyed, why should the family do it!"

Bai Gui replied.

Tubo is gone, but East Turkic is not.

Li Longji: "..."

He finally understood that Bai Gui was pretending to be confused and refused to evade the edge. This time he returned to Beijing with the intention of taking the position of Chancellor.

This is easy to understand.

After making such great military achievements, the imperial court must not allow him to stay in the frontier. Even if he commands the frontier army again, he will have to wait a few years to prevent changes. Therefore, it is customary to return to Beijing to serve as an official in the court.

But generally when the border generals return to Beijing, it is very simple to arrange official positions, whether it is the imperial army, or the adjutants of the six departments, in short, there are many.

However, when Bai Gui went out of town, his position was Zhongshusheren, a civil servant, and he could never return to the court with a lower position than this, or he would be promoted and resigned secretly, and be given a vacant position, otherwise everyone could see that the emperor did not reward meritorious deeds Minister, for a long time, there will be complaints.

Therefore, the courtiers personally put forward the form, willing to recuperate or something, and the emperor agreed to it, and everything would be settled.

But who made Bai Gui not to play cards according to common sense now, insisting on keeping an eye on Zaifu's position.

"Your Majesty, this time when the class teacher returned to the court, the ministers traveled through Jiannan Road. The people of Jiannan Road are prosperous, corrupt officials are extinct, and the officials are clear and bright. It can be seen that Dai Guogong's ability to govern..."

Xue Na who was at the side suddenly interjected without saying a word.

Hearing this, Li Longji's face changed quickly, and he took a deep look at the two of them.

"Come here, send an edict to dismiss Su Ting as Minister of the Ministry of Rites, change Jiannan Dao Inspector Bai Gui, and Jingnan Duhufu Baigui to Zhongshu Province Zhongshu Ling. Choose a day to change...Su Ting is Jiannan Dao Inspector, The governor of Yizhou..."

He pondered for a while and said.

He originally planned to let Su Ting take over as the post, but the person who wanted to succeed Zhong Shuling was not Bai Gui, but someone else.Now that Bai Gui is "aggressive" and wants a prime minister position, he has already talked with Su Ting a few days ago, and Su Ting is also prepared in his heart. Changing his position will not make Bai Gui offend Su Ting, an old minister.

Yes, even though Bai Gui was forcing him, Li Longji still had some old love.One is because of Princess Jinxian.The second is that Bai Gui is the prime minister. Although the prime minister is high and powerful, he is not as dreadful as a general. It can be seen that Bai Gui is only famous at a young age, and his character is a bit too sharp, just polish it.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Bai Gui cupped his hands and thanked him.

He has a certain degree of confidence in forcing Li Longji like this.Li Longji is not someone who can't tolerate sand in his eyes. If he forces it within an appropriate range, there is no big problem.

Even if there is, he is confident that as long as he does not make any serious mistakes, Li Longji will not regard him as a thorn in his side or a thorn in his flesh. Tang Minghuang is also an indecisive person, to his close ministers.

Furthermore, he now has the ability to protect himself to a certain extent. Although it is risky to do so, the benefits are huge, and the future troubles are still within his tolerance.

The only worry is whether Li Longji will deal with Xue Na because of this. Unlike him, Xue Na is a close minister of the emperor and has family ties such as Princess Jinxian. Xue Na has no background, so it is much easier to deal with.However, Xue Na is already old, and after this expedition, he will soon return to his hometown for the elderly, so this scruple is not a big problem.

In the future, he will also give Xue Na and his descendants some compensation.
