The heavens from Bailuyuan

Chapter 332 Entering the Palace Late at Night (Full Order)

"Forget it, you are originally a member of Zhongshu Sheren, so it doesn't matter if you are promoted to Zhongshu Ling."

"But I need to restrain my temper in the future."

Li Longji waved his hand, and after letting Xue Na back down, when only Bai Gui was left, he said something.

Bai Gui raised his eyebrows and breathed a sigh of relief.

I am not afraid of being scolded by the leader, but I am afraid of the leader smiling.The implication of Li Longji's words is that he forgives Bai Gui's arrogance this time, and he just needs to be more careful in the future.

"Machinery? Sincerely?"

he thought.

After rewarding the generals, stabilize the morale of the army.

Next, Li Longji ordered someone to bring Tubozanpu Chidezuzan and Princess Jincheng.

One is that although Tubo Zanpu is now a prisoner, he is still the lord of a country and cannot be seen.The second is that the Tubo Kingdom, which has not been resolved in the past dynasties, was resolved during his tenure. This is the glorious time for Datang and him. He also enjoys this moment. Tubo Zamp.

There is nothing better than this in life.

"Nephew Chi De Zuzan has seen the emperor's uncle."

Chide Zu Zan Zanpu, who was under house arrest, once again bound his face and held his jade. He was escorted by Tang Jun and bowed down to Li Longji.

"Emperor Fuwei's uncle Wanfu..., my nephew also agrees with my uncle's intention to come, and my uncle will definitely reconcile." - "Cefu Yuangui" Volume [-] (Ministry of Foreign Ministers · Oath)

Princess Jincheng is the adopted daughter of Tang Zhongzong Li Xian. After marrying into Tubo, she was re-recognized by Tang Ruizong Li Dan as her own daughter. Therefore, Chide Zuzan is not only related to Tang Zhongzong Li Xian, but also Tang Ruizong Li Dan. Son-in-law relationship.Li Longji is Chide Zuzan's elder brother, also called uncle, so Chide Zuzan considers himself Li Longji's nephew.

"Jincheng pays homage to the emperor's brother."

Princess Jincheng was also brought down from the carriage, but compared to Chide Zuzan who was under house arrest, she was in a very good situation, and she was served by a dowry maid beside her.

After seeing Chide Zuzan and Princess Jincheng, the officials also whispered and pointed at Chide Zuzan.

The scene where the king of a country is reduced to a prisoner is hard to see in a hundred years, even if it is a small country, and the Tang Dynasty has been wiped out a lot, but a big country like Tubo... It is a feast for the eyes when they meet.

"Nephew and imperial sister are exempt."

With a smile on his face, Li Longji helped the two of them.

"Chide ancestor praises you for correcting your mistakes since you know your mistakes. You have come all the way and paid tribute to Chang'an. I can't live up to the friendship between Datang and Tubo. You are Princess Jincheng, and you are named... the fifth-rank son-in-law. , I don’t know how?”

He pondered for a while and said.

In the past, even though Datang married a princess to Tubo, he didn't know how to use Shang.

Therefore, Li Longji was polite to Chi Dezu on the surface, but the meaning of humiliation behind the scenes was self-evident.

"Nephew..., no, I thank Your Majesty Long En."

Chi De Zuzan was expressionless, and was about to salute and thank him.

Now that his country is dead, it is not bad if he can save his life. The fifth-rank son-in-law and captain can't be found by ordinary people. In the Tang Dynasty, the prime minister is only a third-rank.

But at this moment, Princess Jincheng who was standing beside him suddenly spoke.

"Brother Huang, wait a minute..."

"My concubine and Zanpu have always been at odds in Tubo King City, and I already have the intention of reconciling and parting. I also ask the emperor to allow this matter."

Princess Jincheng bowed down.

"Nu Nu..."

"you……"

Chi De Zuzan's face turned red with anger, and he stared fiercely at Princess Jincheng, as if he wanted to choose her and devour her.

Princess Jincheng is named Li Nunu.

Forget about the humiliation of mourning the country, now it seems that he will face the hatred of taking his wife again.

However, he glanced at the young general in bright armor standing beside the emperor, the anger in his heart subsided instantly, and his tightly clenched hands dropped powerlessly.

Facing Bai Gui, he couldn't afford the slightest thought of revenge.

In the war between Tubo and Datang, Bai Gui could not say that he used soldiers like a god, but Tubo's sense of powerlessness was always lingering in his heart, and the majestic army directly crushed Tubo's millions of soldiers.

"This……"

Li Longji hesitated for a moment.

He also knew that Princess Jincheng didn't want to marry Tubo Zanpu, and he heard the mourning when he entered the snowy plateau.It's just that the relationship between Princess Jincheng and him is not very close, and since we haven't seen each other in these years, there is no affection at all.

Although he intends to humiliate Tubo Zanpu, if he reconciles with Li... To Tubo Zanpu, the remnants of Tubo's forces will definitely be a complete humiliation. Princess Jincheng alone cannot make him make up his mind.

"I was on the way, and I also heard Tu Bo Zanpu once said... that he was at odds with the princess, and he wanted to get back together."

"Since Tubo Zanpu has this intention, according to my opinion, why don't I agree to this, to show that my Tang Dynasty is open-minded..."

Bai Gui calmed down and said casually.

"Bai Qing, between you and Jincheng..."

Li Longji paused, glanced at Bai Gui and Princess Jincheng, and suddenly understood.

Baigui's army was very strict, and he was not allowed to bring his female relatives into the camp.During the years of fighting against Tubo, I have been on the snowy plateau. After Tubo was destroyed, I entered the King City of Tubo and saw the beautiful Princess Jincheng. , male talent and female appearance, it is normal for something to happen in the middle.

Served in the army for three years, a sow competes with Diaochan!

Not to mention the beautiful princess.

But at this point, Li Longji would not blame Bai Gui.If Bai Gui was just an ordinary "Captain Consort", if he dared to do such things, eating from a bowl and looking at the pot, he would have issued a decree to punish him long ago, but whoever let Bai Gui destroy the two countries, the credit is so great, and how many people This princess has some affair, and she is on a few boats, this... is nothing.

People don't flirt with youth!

"Zanpu actually has the idea of ​​reconciliation. I wonder if it is as Bai Qing said?"

"If there are false words, I will praise you and make the decision for you!"

"By the way, Prime Minister Tubo obstructed the friendship between you and me this time. It is a very serious crime... I passed on my will and killed Prime Minister Tubo to make an example. Tubo officials are also guilty of deceiving the king. , the Ministry of Punishment will sentence you one by one..."

Li Longji glanced at Chi De Zuzan, and wrote lightly.

When Bai Gui saw Li Longji's appearance, he knew that Li Longji had misunderstood, but it was hard for him to explain this matter. If he said that he was moved by benevolence, I am afraid that others would not believe it.

"Xiao Wang... really wants to reconcile with the princess, and I am grateful for your Majesty's permission."

Chi De Zuzan's face turned pale, and said hurriedly.

Although he knew that Li Longji would not deal with him immediately like he dealt with Prime Minister Tubo.But his current performance determines whether he will die of illness in a few years or die in the future.

"Since you and Jin Cheng are at odds with each other, I will allow this matter, and allow you to reconcile and leave."

Li Longji said.

The country of Tu Bo has been destroyed, and he no longer cares about Tu Bo's opinion.

It's just...Princess Jincheng is not enough for him to agree. Now that Bai Gui, the commander who wiped out Tubo Kingdom, has spoken, what reason does he have to disagree.

……

The ceremony of accepting the surrender and conferring rewards and other matters were completed one by one.

It was dark.

Bai Gui returned to the mansion.

The plaque of Linyihou's Mansion has been replaced by Dai Guogong's Mansion.

All the officials he met also called him Baixiang.

He took off his armor, hesitated for a moment, then changed into casual clothes, and led a team of family soldiers to Jinxian Temple.

After talking to Princess Jinxian about what happened today, they entered the palace late at night with Princess Jinxian and went to apologize to Li Longji.

Bad luck!

Li Longji must have had a grudge in his heart!
Even though Bai Gui is still in the emperor's heart, he absolutely does not have the favor of the past.So entering the palace late at night to make amends was Bai Gui's second strategy.

Influence state affairs with personal feelings!
From ancient times to the present, this is an inevitable thing.

The ruling class is cold-blooded, but the rulers are always human.

Although Bai Gui has been promoted to the official position of Zhongshuling and Zaifu, Zaifu and Zaifu are not the same, especially for a prime minister like him who has just entered the political affairs hall, if he has no party members, he is basically a mascot, what? Can't decide either.

In other words, Zhongshu Ling is the chief official of the Zhongshu Province, and does not directly manage the six ministries left by the Shangshu Province. Therefore, it seems that he has great power, but in fact he has no real power.

……

Palace, Qingning Palace.

Qingning Palace is the queen's bedroom.

"Report to Your Majesty..."

"Princess Jinxian and Prime Minister Bai came to ask for an audience, and Prime Minister Bai said...to make amends to His Majesty!"

Gao Lishi walked to Li Longji's side and said.

After finishing speaking, he chuckled again, and jokingly said: "It seems that Bai Xiang knows His Majesty's intentions now... But it is also true that being the governor of a country is such a temptation for scholars. Lang Juxu and Le Shi Yanran, this is the pinnacle of a general, now he wants to be the pinnacle of a civil servant..."

"Both civil and military, he is already the number one scholar in civil and military affairs, does he want to be a saint?"

Li Longji frowned, his remaining anger still lingering.

He has always regarded Bai Gui as his confidant, but today Bai Gui contradicted him, and even teamed up with Xue Na to attack him.Two groups of Tang Jun, this is the elite of Datang now... so he had to hold back his breath.Of course, this may also be Xue Na's kindness, after all, Bai Gui's kindness to Xue Na is well known in the court, and it is normal for Xue Na to have such a reaction.

But after returning to the palace, the anger in his heart still hasn't dissipated, it's just that it's not easy to flare up.

"Your Majesty wants to be an emperor through the ages, so don't you need a white face?"

"Bai Xiang entered the palace to make amends tonight. It can be seen that he is still loyal to His Majesty in his heart, but Bai Xiang is still a little younger and can't hold back. He is afraid that His Majesty will no longer use him after you let him be the Duke of the country. Your Majesty asks for a reward..."

Queen Wang smiled and said.

She is a woman who knows how to reciprocate.If Bai Gui hadn't helped her conceive and give birth to the prince.How could her position be so stable now.The concubines in the harem come to pay their respects every day.

However, she was born in a wealthy family, she was intelligent and knew how to persuade the emperor.

Her rhetoric, saying that Bai Gui can't hold back, is because she doesn't believe that Li Longji really has such a talent, and successfully transferred the conflict from Bai Gui and the emperor to Li Longji himself. That's why Bai Gui did this.

It is definitely better to be impatient than to be scheming!
With Gao Lishi and Queen Wang's persuasion, and Bai Gui pleading guilty late at night, most of the grievances in Li Longji's heart disappeared, and he couldn't help but smile and said: "Bai Meihe, Bai Meihe..., I am a person who gives up eating because of choking, and I can't do anything." You bother so much!"

"General Gao, invite Baixiang and Jinxian into the palace."

he said to Colliers.

In fact, before today, he really wanted Bai Gui to thank guests behind closed doors and be a rich man with peace of mind.As for when to let Bai Gui enter the court as an official, at least it must be discussed after the frontier war broke out, or after Bai Gui's influence declined.

It's just that he, the "sage king", can't be subdued and reveal his dark thoughts.Now that Gao Lishi and Queen Wang said this, he thought about it, and it was the same reason, so he went down the slope to relieve his anger.

Bai Gui and Princess Jinxian entered the palace, saluted and took their seats.

"Bai Qing, you said that you entered the palace to make amends, but I don't see your sincerity. At least you need to make amends..."

Li Longji asked with a cold face.

"I have not made any mistakes in state affairs. Although it is okay to take the blame, if all the officials and the people see it, I am afraid that your Majesty will treat the meritorious officials harshly."

"Therefore... for His Majesty's consideration, I have never taken the blame."

Bai Gui cupped his hands and replied calmly.

Princess Jinxian on the side also pleaded with Li Longji, the emperor's brother.

Li Long's anger was mostly gone, and now Princess Jinxian, the younger sister, pleaded for mercy, and when she stepped down the steps, she waved her hand, saying that she no longer cared about Bai Gui's crime of contradicting her.

Set up a dinner party, drink together, enjoy singing and dancing.

When the banquet is over.

Li Longji thought for a while and said: "This time Baiqing helped me destroy the Tubo Kingdom, and I gave you the title of Duke of Daiguo... Now the court may criticize you. As the right minister, you will deal with political affairs in the future... I'm afraid it will be difficult. few……"

(Zhong Shu Ling is the right minister, and the servant is the left minister.)
Duke Dai, this title is not only clear to Bai Gui, but also to all officials.

No one who can be an official is a fool.

Now in the eyes of some people, Bai Gui has become the right minister, but he has definitely lost the favor of Li Longji, and the position of the right minister will not last long.Officials don't say that Yin obeys Yang and violates Yang, but when dealing with political affairs, they will never go smoothly.

"What does your majesty mean?"

Bai Gui was puzzled.

The reason why he entered the palace late at night was partly because of this.

"This matter is simple..."

"You and I sleep together, and the dragon collapses... All rumors and gossip will disappear."

Seeing Bai Gui being so "sincere and sincere", Li Longji couldn't help but feel a little guilty, and at the same time he said that he was a virtuous monarch.

On the other hand, it was his last tentative move.

On the Dragon Tower, most of the men who allowed men to sleep together were the emperor's favorite men.And Bai Gui, the right-hand man, obviously wasn't.Then...the only analogy is that Wang Dao in the Eastern Jin Dynasty sat on the dragon chair with Sima Rui.

"I dare not!"

"Your Majesty, please don't say anything again!"

Bai Gui stood up in shock, repeatedly waving his hands to decline.

He didn't have the hobby of the three Shu Han brothers, sleeping with men.Similarly, his heart is transparent, and he must not do some taboo things.

The Tang Dynasty was relatively open, and it was not as severe as the imperial ban in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

Just doing this has received too much criticism.

"Since Bai Qing refuses..."

"Then let this matter go. I will give you thirty Huangzhuang, and 5000 taels of gold and silver each, to block the mouths of the world."

Seeing this, Li Longji nodded in satisfaction and said.
