313, Wu Huifei Presents the Danjing (Full Order Required)

Concubine Wu Huifei and Li Longji were still somewhat related, although they were distant relatives, but it was not abrupt to call Princess Jinxian "sister". Google Search Reading

Otherwise, according to the ethics of ordinary people, even if the sister-in-law was younger than the younger sister of the husband's family, she would never be called sister.

Dirty Tang stinky man!

"This time, Meihe and you conquered Nanzhao, and the threat of Tubo can be temporarily postponed, but it will be a loss of the dignity of the Tang Dynasty if you are kept as a caged beast for a long time..."

"Since you have the courage of the Marquis of Guanjun, and you are the descendant of Bai Qi, the Wu'an Jun of Qin, and you have a deep family background, I order you to take charge of Tubo affairs. Within ten years, I will not say that you will see the destruction of Tubo, but at least you will knock down the claws of Tubo that have reached Hehuang and the Western Regions for me."

"If the matter is successful, and you have military merits, you can return to Beijing to be a minister!"

Li Longji said with a serious face and a slow voice.

Now, the main threats on the border of the Tang Dynasty are the Turks and Tubo. The former is fine. Even if they can plunder and defeat the Tang Dynasty, they will not be able to achieve anything. The Tang Dynasty can have exchanges with the Turks and will sooner or later return to the old place in the north. But the latter is different. Relying on the natural barrier of the snowy region, they can attack and defend. Moreover, the organizational form of Tubo is obviously much stronger than that of the Turks. It is equivalent to another foreign country. If it lasts for a long time, it will be a great threat.

Bai Gui's capture of Nanzhao is equivalent to a sword on the south side of Tubo. When Tubo invaded the Tang Dynasty, it was inevitable to estimate the threat from the south.

"Your Majesty trusts me, I am willing to go."

Bai Gui, who was sitting on the Hu stool, stood up and bowed.

"Of course I trust you."

Li Longji smiled faintly.

Bai Gui is not married yet and has no children. Even if he is in power, he does not need to be afraid.

Moreover, according to the report of Qianniuwei, Bai Gui never overstepped the line during his tenure and on his way to destroy Nanzhao, which shows that he is a loyal minister.

In addition, Bai Gui was impartial when evaluating the administration of officials, and was nicknamed Bai Qingtian, which shows that he is an upright and honest minister.

With such virtuous assistants, what is he afraid of?

He is now in his prime, and it is not a young ruler with doubts about the country.

He should give up power!

Of course, this has a lot to do with his sister Princess Jinxian coming to the palace to plead for mercy last night.

When an emperor is a wise or incompetent emperor, he will be divided into several levels such as relatives, family members, and outsiders. Bai Gui is his old minister in the palace, and he has an unclear relationship with Princess Jinxian. He is half a son-in-law, which makes him feel much more at ease than outsiders in power.

Although there have been so many cases of relatives usurping power in history, it can happen, and most emperors in later generations have not taken it as a warning, which means that relatives are more useful than outsiders.

"Bai Gui, obey my orders!"

"I divide the Nanzhao Kingdom and some counties in Jiannan Road into the Jingnan Protectorate. You are the Protector, and you are also the Jiannan Road Censor and Yizhou Governor. Your appointment remains unchanged!"

Li Longji put down the memorial in his hand and said seriously.

Since we want to solve the great enemy Tubo, we must delegate power. If we don't delegate power, the two chief officers will be hindered everywhere and will not be able to accomplish anything.

Also, although he delegated power, the troops of Jiannan Road and Jingnan Protectorate were not the elite of the Tang Dynasty. Even if Bai Gui wanted to rebel, couldn't he suppress Jiannan Road with the elite troops of Guanlong, Hedong and other places? !

What's more..., the power of the Censor was under the emperor. If Bai Gui rebelled, the governors of East Sichuan and West Sichuan and the governors of various states would not rebel with him. Therefore, Bai Gui only had the corner of Nanzhao that he conquered.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Bai Gui bowed deeply and took the newly cast tiger talisman and gold seal of the Protectorate from Gao Lishi.

"Since the appointment is complete."

"We just finished the morning court. Meihe and you haven't eaten yet, right? Come with me to eat. When we leave, write a few more words. I want to appreciate them carefully..."

Li Longji smiled.

The handwriting is like the person. Bai Gui learned Yan style, which is the most open-minded, dignified, vigorous and bold.

Gao Lishi served the meal.

The case system.

The dishes in the palace are exquisite.

Although Bai Gui ate elegantly and gracefully, the food on the table disappeared very quickly, and the eunuchs who served him frequently added dishes.

It's not that he, a dignified third-rank official, lacks this little food, or that the meals in the palace are very delicious.

It's that he deliberately pays attention to this when eating, and there is no need to do so.

Small things reveal true nature, and big things are vague, this is the way to be an official.

This scene was also noticed by Li Longji, who nodded secretly.

"Since Linyi Hou likes this roasted mutton, the imperial kitchen in the palace... will temporarily lend it to Linyi Hou, and return it to the palace when Linyi Hou takes office."

"Give the palace 20 top-grade mutton to the Hou Mansion..."

Li Longji ordered.

But while speaking, he was stunned for a moment, and he didn't know where Bai Gui's Linyi Hou Mansion was.

"Meihe, you have lived in Jinxian Temple for a long time, which is bound to cause gossip. I will give you a mansion."

He took a breath and said slowly.

In the past, Bai Gui, as a guest of Princess Jinxian, lived in Jinxian Temple. It was normal, but now Bai Gui is Linyi Hou, and it is not appropriate to live in Jinxian Temple again.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"It is not easy to live in Chang'an... I am short of money, so I have not bought a mansion so far."

Bai Gui replied.

He was not short of money, but the house he bought could not compare with the Jinxian Temple. The Jinxian Temple had everything, it was a royal style, extremely luxurious, and living in it was much more comfortable than an ordinary mansion.

"Meihe, you are honest and incorruptible. This matter is my fault. I didn't expect this..."

Li Longji looked at Bai Gui with admiration.

The emperor likes wine, women and luxury, but he probably doesn't like his subjects to be like this.

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

Bai Gui thanked him as usual.

This is a reward according to the routine. He will not be rewarded with just a little reward if he is made a county marquis. However, it is inconvenient to include the reward in the imperial edict. It is easier to achieve the effect of showing favor if the emperor speaks in person.

Lunch was over quickly, taking about a quarter of an hour.

Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Li Longji still had to review the memorials, so Bai Gui tactfully excused himself and walked out of the palace from Hanyuan Hall.

But at this moment, Concubine Wu caught up with him panting.

She blocked him at a corner where no one was around, and Concubine Wu's trusted maids were on both sides.

"Marquis of Linyi, wait... wait a minute."

Concubine Wu Hui was sweating profusely.

"What is Concubine Jieyu doing?"

Bai Gui frowned, having guessed something.

Wu Huifei was the niece of Wu Zetian. After the fall of the Wu family, the monkeys scattered when the tree fell. Wu Huifei had no power to support her and was weak in the palace.

At this time, the empress of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang was surnamed Wang, Wang of the Jinyang Wang family.

If Wu Huifei wanted to gain a foothold in the palace, she had to seek external help.

Concubine Linyi was a third-rank official, and there were nine permanent people in the palace.

"Marquis Linyi..."

"I have always been good friends with Sister Jinxian. Last time, Sister Jinxian said she wanted to ask for the Danjing..., and my father went out to visit immortals in the third year of Chuigong, following the order of Empress Shunsheng of Zetian, and happened to get a Danjing. This Danjing was found by me last night while searching for my father's relics..."

"Please ask Marquis Linyi to pass this Danjing to Princess Jinxian, which can be regarded as the completion of our sisterhood."

Wu Huifei took out a silk book from the maid and handed it to Bai Gui with a smile.

A saint can have countless concubines, but there are only these two sisters. If there is no Bai Gui, she will also choose to befriend the two princesses.

Now Bai Gui's reputation is rising, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that Bai Gui will definitely be a powerful noble in the Tang Dynasty in the future.

At this time, befriending her will benefit you infinitely.

"I would like to thank Wu Jieyu on behalf of Jin Xian."

Bai Gui hesitated for a while, then bowed and thanked her.

At this time, the concubines and foreign ministers were not yet to the point of being taboo. Concubines with a little power would collude with foreign ministers, and this situation can be seen repeatedly.

One of the reasons why Empress Wei poisoned Tang Zhongzong Li Xian was that she did not want Li Xian to find out that she had ruined the palace and investigate her private affairs.

It has not been a few years since this incident.

Wu Huifei will obviously be favored for life. Although Bai Gui doesn't like to make friends with the concubines in the palace to avoid future troubles, Wu Huifei's reason is good at this moment. If he doesn't accept the Danjing, he will inevitably make enemies with Wu Huifei. Maybe it's okay for a while, but there is no guarantee that Wu Huifei will not slander him in the future.

Future troubles, benefits, think clearly.

Bai Gui took the Danjing.

He also wanted to see what the Danjing looked like after Wu Zetian ordered people to visit immortals and seek the Tao.

But what he didn't expect was... Wu Huifei secretly scratched his palm.
