The heavens from Bailuyuan

Chapter 459 Relational household, person Cao official (seeking full order)
After a few days.

Bai Gui went to the Ministry of Officials to pass the test, this time, he didn't need to hide his clumsiness.In the customs examination of the Ministry of Officials, he was the best in the assessment, and because the rank of Jinshi was in the forefront, when he was an official in the Ministry of Officials, he was given a left pick from the eighth rank.

Zuo Suyi, as the name suggests, means that the country has leftovers, so we can pick them up and talk about them.It can be regarded as an admonisher affiliated to Menxia Province, but it is somewhat different from Yushitai's Yushi.Because the three provinces were originally the inner court, and the Yushi was the outer court.Therefore, Zuo Suyi is more of a function to admonish the emperor, to remind (admonish) the emperor in daily life, to check for gains and losses.

This position has a bright future.

It's better than Secretary Lang from Ninth Grade.

For example, Bai Juyi was promoted to Zuo Shiyi after he first became Secretary Lang, and several years later.

When he got this official position, Bai Gui still couldn't believe it.After all, the vast majority of Jinshi in the Jinshi Department are nine-rank officials. Although they are only one rank behind, they are several levels behind.Later, he learned that the reason why the official department made such an arrangement was because Li Shimin saw his calligraphy, so he was transferred to the emperor's side and became a Zuo Shiyi.

After the election, there is still a five or six day idle period.

Very human.

But Bai Gui still followed the crowd to the palace to take up his post.

His official position in Datang has long been clear.This Zuo Suiyi official position is actually quite leisurely. When the emperor travels, he can accompany the emperor and just monitor the gains and losses.For the rest of the time, just stay in the side hall or drink tea in the official residence of Menxia Province.

Seven or eight days passed like this.

Bai Gui also gradually became acquainted in the palace, and reached the point where he was able to meet Sheng Jia.

Before accompanying the king, the Shangyi Bureau and other departments in the palace in charge of etiquette will teach Bai Gui and other new officials some palace etiquette.For example, when you meet a queen or a noble concubine, you can't stare blankly, or you have to explain some taboos and titles in the palace one by one.Otherwise, it is not a small crime to offend Long Wei and the Tian family.

On this day, after the morning court, Li Shimin went to the Lizheng Hall.

The Lizheng Hall is the bedroom of Empress Changsun.

When the emperor was traveling, there was an extra green-robed official in the entourage, and Li Shimin looked back.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, this is Bai Gui, a Jinshi of the new department, and now I am saving leftovers for my disciples." The living man Chu Suiliang came out and said to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin nodded, looked at it a few times, and didn't say much.

After a while, we arrived at the Lizheng Hall.

Except for the living man Chu Suiliang who entered the hall to record the words and deeds of the emperor, other officials and scribes waited in the side hall.

Soon after, a court lady summoned Bai Gui.

Enter the temple.

All that can be seen in the palace, apart from the maids, eunuchs, Li Shimin, Empress Changsun, there is also an eleven or twelve-year-old boy, and a slightly younger girl.

Both of them are in Chinese clothes.

It's just that the young man stared straight at Bai Gui.

"This boy is chubby. He doesn't look like Prince Li Chengqian, so he should be Wei Wang Li Tai. The other person is Changle Princess Li Lizhi."

Bai Gui thought to himself.

When he came to take up the post, the maid in the palace had already told him the general appearance of the prince and daughter.As soon as he looked at it, he instantly knew who was which prince and princess.

"I... have seen Your Majesty and Your Majesty."

He stepped forward, bowed and saluted.

"Aiqing is flat."

Li Shimin, who was seated above, had a warm face, "The reason why Qing Que and Li Zhi wanted to find a calligrapher today is to invite you to come to the hall. Although there are many calligraphers in the court, they all hold important positions. Although Chu Aiqing is feasible, but he is my living man. Busy work..."

"I have seen your calligraphy, and I love it very much. You can be a green bird and a beautiful gentleman. I don't know what you think?"

Qingque, Li Tai's nickname.

Compared with Yu Shinan and Ouyang Xun, the calligraphers of the early Tang Dynasty, Bai Gui's reputation is not high now.But if it is to teach the prince, these two people are more than enough, and if it is to teach Wei Wang Li Tai, it is a bit scruples.Although Li Shimin loves Wei Wang Li Tai, he will not easily give Wei Wang Li Tai the opportunity to form a party for personal gain.

Therefore, Li Tai, king of Wei, wanted to find a calligraphy master, and Li Shimin put the blame on Bai Gui.

In just a moment, Bai Gui also thought of this.

He paused and agreed to the matter.

In Journey to the West, Tang Seng and his disciples went from Nanzhan Buzhou to Xiniu Hezhou Lingshan to learn Buddhist scriptures. The more they went to Xiniu Hezhou, the more demons and ghosts there were, and the supernatural powers became more powerful.Compared with this, Dongtu Tang is the real paradise.

It is much better to live in Datang than to run around.

As for Li Tai's fight for the throne, it's still too early, at least it will be decades away.Therefore, it doesn't matter much to him whether he agrees to it or not.

On the contrary, to solve the emperor's mind, it will definitely be in the emperor's heart.

"Banquet!"

In the Lizheng Palace that had been silent for a while, the melodious voice of Empress Changsun sounded like a silver bell.

Bai Gui thanked him and left the Lizheng Hall.

The so-called banquet refers to the banquet given in the side hall, not directly in the main hall of the Lizheng Hall.

After noon.

After resting for a while, he was called out by the maid.

On the other side of the Lizheng Hall, this is the bedroom of King Wei Li Tai. He is the son of Empress Changsun. Although he has reached the age of founding the mansion, the emperor and empress love this son, so Li Tai still lives in the palace.

Pay homage to the teacher for six rites.

Celery, lotus seeds, red beans, red dates, longan, dry lean meat strips.

Everything is available.

"I met Mr. Bai."

Although Li Tai was slightly dissatisfied with Li Shimin's arrangement in his heart, he has always been respectful and hospitable, with the appearance of a refined gentleman, and now he is also well-behaved when he is apprenticed to Bai Gui, and he has never been inferior.

"I met Mr. Bai..."

On the other side, Li Lizhi was also brittle.

Her pretty face was slightly dissatisfied.

This dissatisfaction is not aimed at Bai Gui, but at Li Shimin, his wife and Li Tai.She didn't want to worship Mr. Calligraphy.

When Bai Gui saw it, he never took it to heart.

A ten-year-old girl, at the time of her innocence, was suddenly taught by her parents, and she had an extra teacher.Unhappy is normal.Not to mention that this kind of princess of the Tian family is even more arrogant.

"Calligraphy pays attention to empty palms, vertical palms, flat wrists, and straight pipes..."

He started teaching calligraphy.

Boys and girls obediently sat indoors on their knees, holding pens and writing.

This teaching took nearly half an hour.

Li Li was exhausted, and after performing the apprentice ceremony to Baigui, she left and returned to her bedroom.

"Mr. Bai..."

"This time I originally planned to ask Chu to live as my teacher, but my father declined. But seeing Mr. Bai's calligraphy today, I was overjoyed and felt no regrets."

After Li Lizhi left, Li Tai said suddenly.

As a prince who prefers literary talents, when he saw Bai Gui's handwriting, he knew that Bai Gui was indeed talented.At this moment, he was speaking the truth.But what he meant was more than that.

They are all princes, but his brother can take Ouyang Xinben as his teacher.Ouyang Xun, word Xinben.But as for him, he took a fancy to Chu Suiliang, but he didn't even have the chance to learn from him.

"Chu is busy with official duties, so it is reasonable to shirk."

Bai Gui smiled and said.

No wonder Chu Suiliang first introduced him to Li Shimin when he took office today.It turned out that Chu Suiliang and Li Shimin had already planned this.

Teaching the prince seems to be a good job.

However, for Chu Suiliang, it may not be so.

The official position of Qijulang is in the heart of the emperor. As long as he continues to hold the position and does not make any mistakes, he will be green and purple in the future. It is absolutely certain.There's no point going to teach the prince.

"Mr. Bai is right."

Li Tai bowed his hands and replied.

It's just that when he lowered his head, there was a hint of regret in his eyes.

What he said was very clear, but Bai Gui just evaded and did not give him a clear answer.

……

In the evening, return to the inn.

Although when Bai Gui was leaving, Dongting Dragon Palace gave him a lot of jewels.However, it was still uncertain whether he won the examination on the surface, so he never bought the mansion.

Furthermore, far from leaking money, although he is not afraid of thieves, adding a lot of trouble is not something he would like to see.

Now that he has official status, it is reasonable to buy a mansion.

Although I have found a tooth shop now, but I haven't seen a suitable mansion yet, so I still live in the inn temporarily.

"Bai Lang, you were appointed as Zuo Shiyi by the Ministry of Officials. Today, the slave family told my father the good news. My father said, as long as you, Bai Lang, act impartially in the world, leave a clear name, and do meritorious deeds..., in the future It is also something to be expected to be in the immortal class."

As soon as Bai Gui opened the door, Sanlongnv told him the good news.

"This……"

He was surprised for a moment.

"Money can make ghosts grind. The official positions in the underworld are the cheapest, while the immortal classes in the heaven are much more expensive. But the treasures of the Dragon Palace in Dongting have been accumulated for many years. It is not difficult to buy the fairy mansion with some benefits... "

Three dragon girls said with a smile.

"What official position does Tianting Immortal Mansion have?"

Bai Gui hesitated.

Although he knows that the Heavenly Court of Journey to the West is very likely not the real Heavenly Court of the Heavens and Myriad Realms.But it is also a good thing to be among the immortals.

The Dongting Dragon Girl is equivalent to the child of a high-ranking cadre. His son-in-law, who is "married in", has the ability, and he will be forced into the fairy class by the veteran cadre Dongting Dragon King.

Of course, the premise is ability.

Without the ability, no matter how powerful the Dongting Dragon King is, he will be blinded.

"For example, Cao Guan, a person in the heavenly court, is equivalent to an executioner in the world. This official position is turbid and not noble. In the world of earth and immortals, there are also city gods and mountain gods. There are also four-valued meritorious officers in the heavenly court. The Moon God, the God of the Sun, the God of Time, or Marshal Tian Tian, ​​​​of course, Marshal Tian Zhen is not a real marshal, but the guard of the Nantian Gate..."

Dongting Dragon Girl spoke eloquently.

"Human officer Cao?"

Bai Gui raised his eyebrows.

This man Cao Guan seems to be Wei Zheng's position in the Heavenly Court.

"Human Cao?"

"Bai Lang is interested in this official position? That's right. Although this official position is an executioner, not a clean stream, it is really good. Ren Cao is an official appointed by the Heavenly Court to be in charge of human affairs. It is equivalent to the envoy of the Heavenly Court in the human world. There are many benefits..."

Dongting Dragon Girl glanced at Bai Gui. She didn't know why Bai Gui became interested in Guan Cao, but she still explained patiently.

After listening to Dongting Dragon Girl's words, Bai Gui suddenly understood.

Why Wei Zheng has the right to behead the Dragon King of Jinghe.

Because human Cao Guan is equivalent to Jin Yiwei, equivalent to a role like an "angel". (Angel refers to the imperial envoy of the emperor, not the one in the West.)
The Dragon King of Jinghe is more noble than Cao Guan, but the Lisi are different, not a system.Even a high-ranking official would have to tremble when he entered Jin Yiwei's prison.

"Third lady, I really like this officer Cao.... Although an official Cao is lowly, it is easier to accumulate merit in the world."

Bai Gui pondered for a moment and said.

The tasks of other fairy classes are just sesame seed cakes on white paper, which can only be watched but not eaten.But Cao Guan, this person is in charge of human affairs on behalf of the Heavenly Court. If he is in the world now, if he has the position of Cao Guan, he will not only be able to accumulate merit in the future, but also use it as his support.

A Cao official is the official body of the heavenly court.No matter how daring an evildoer is, he will not easily kill an official.

"Okay! The slave family will go back and tell the father to help you operate."

The three dragon girls nodded slightly, opened the window, and were about to fly to Dongting Lake to report to Dongting Dragon Lord.

"Don't worry."

Bai Gui grabbed Sanlongnv's jade hand.

After some pity.

Dongting Dragon Girl then went to Dongting Lake.

After about half a day, in the middle of the night, the dragon girl of Dongting returned to Chang'an.

"Father has already learned about this."

"However, Cao Guan needs to make meritorious deeds in the human world. My father said that there is a meritorious deed recently. As long as you make it, Bai Lang, my father can use it to operate..."

The Three Dragon Girls Road.

"What kind of meritorious deed?"

Bai Gui asked.

"In the spring, summer, April and May of the fourth year of Zhenguan, the total rainfall was two feet and three inches. There will be a severe drought this year. If you know how to pray for rain and send rain to relieve the people's upside down, or have another clever plan, the safety of the whole people will be in danger..."

"Once this meritorious deed is established, Bai Lang can use it to be a human Cao official."

Dongting Dragon Girl said slowly.

Her father is the Dragon Lord of Dongting, although he is not responsible for the rain in Guanzhong.But they are all in the same line of water system. It is not difficult to know how much precipitation this year will be.

"The severe drought in the coming year will definitely lead to a reduction in grain production. If this can be resolved, it will indeed be a meritorious deed."

Bai Gui frowned and nodded.

"It's just that... although I have practiced the rain praying technique, I haven't received the amulets from the Ministry of Rain, Ministry of Thunder, Ministry of Wind, and Ministry of Clouds, so I can't ask for rain."

he hesitated.

When it rains, you have to ask the four divisions of the wind, thunder, cloud and rain in the heaven for instructions. After the four divisions get the Jade Emperor's will, they can spread rain to the world.One foot and one inch more, this is a violation of the rules of heaven.Needless to say, the fate of violating the rules of heaven, Jinghe Dragon King is an example.

Therefore, there are many people who know the technique of praying for rain, but there are not many Taoists who can really pray for rain.

"Father has nothing to do about this matter, but Bai Lang doesn't have to worry, this time won't work, there will be next time..."

Dongting Dragon Girl comforted her.

If they want to practice the real rain praying technique, their Dongting Dragon Palace has no choice.The formula of this technique is not difficult, but the difficult thing is to let the Thunder God and Lightning Mother, Deng Tianjun and others in the heavenly court appreciate it and make it rain for it.

"Tomorrow after tomorrow, there are so many tomorrows."

"Not using the rain praying technique doesn't mean there are no other ways."

Bai Gui smiled and said indifferently.

"What method?"

The strange way of Dongting Dragon Girl.

The matter of the rain is a secret and cannot be known by others.So now Bai Gui notified the court to store water, which is equivalent to violating the law of heaven, not to mention meritorious deeds, it would be good not to punish him.
