$330, The Painting Style in the Political Affairs Hall Is Not Harmonious (Please Order the Whole Set)

For several months, whether it was a court meeting, hunting or bathing in Lishan Mountain, etc., Li Longji trusted Bai Gui more and gave him generous gifts.

All these behaviors showed the emperor's favor for the new right minister.

With Li Longji's support, Bai Gui finally managed to gain a foothold in Zhongshu Province and became the chief official of Zhongshu Province.

In the three-province and six-department system, the Zhongshu Province is the decision-making department, the Menxia Province is the review department, and the Six-Ministry of Shangshu Province is the execution department. Zhongshu Ling was the chief prime minister among the prime ministers and ranked first among the chief officials of the three provinces.

However... even though he is the Right Chancellor, this is the official position that Bai Gui replaced after Su Ting retired, so he got it for nothing. There was also the idea that Li Longji wanted to put Bai Gui on the fire...

After all, this is a position that everyone hopes for!

Even though he destroyed Tubo and achieved great military exploits, in the eyes of hundreds of officials, it would be enough to be a minister of Zhongshu, plus an ordinary prime minister, and if not, he would be a chief official of the Six Ministries. It is also feasible to add some peace of mind.

Now... he has become the chief prime minister, and he will inevitably be dissatisfied by all the officials!

However, Baiguan would not express his dissatisfaction with Bai Gui openly.

In addition, if there is no support from party members, even if he is the prime minister, he will be sidelined and the ministries will not be able to command. It's just a false title.

…

Political Hall.

discussion.

Both rows of seats were filled with prime ministers.

Basically, they are all middle-aged and middle-aged Confucian scholars with elegant demeanor, except for Bai Gui, a young man.

"Shuofang Jiedushi has been in office for five years. Let's move to Jingzhou inland..."

"What do you think, Prime Minister Song?"

Zhang Jiazhen, the assistant minister of Zhongshu, glanced at Song Jing and asked.

Among the prime ministers of the Kaiyuan period, Yao Chong and Song Jing were the most famous. Yao Chong was hailed as the prime minister who saved the time, but he was dismissed by Li Longji only in the third year of Kaiyuan. So now in the Political Hall, the one with the loudest voice is Song Jing.

Zhongshu Ling... Although this position is noble, if there is no strength, it is usually given to noble and famous ministers.

Su Ting, the former Zhongshu Ling, was the leader of the literary world at this time.

"Can!"

Song Jing is the Tianguan of the Ministry of Personnel, responsible for the dispatch of officials.

"Bai...what does Mr. Bai think?"

Zhang Jiazhen glanced at his chief officer again. Originally, the position of Zhongshu Ling was reserved for him, the Minister of Zhongshu. But Bai Gui took the lead and had solid military achievements. Although he was slightly dissatisfied, he would not miss official duties because of it.

"Prime Minister Song was your examiner during the imperial examination. He is like a mentor. Your elder is in the military and does not know about government affairs. There are many things you can learn from Prime Minister Song. Since Prime Minister Song thinks it is feasible, you will naturally second your proposal."

Bai Gui smiled and replied.

Only those with the support of party members are the real prime ministers with real power. Without the support of party members, it is just a good name. After entering the political hall, you can know how the government affairs are going, but the decision-making power is not in your hands.

For example, if Zhang Jiazhen was the official secretary of Jinzhong, Song Jing would also be in charge of the political affairs hall.

"Meihe... After your words got out, my face... well, I don't know where it will be..."

"You have only been in politics and the military for a few years, and you are already in the same political hall as me."

Song Jing stroked his beard with a smile on his face, but his words were blaming Bai Gui.

But anyone can hear his joy.

He was the examiner of Bai Gui during the imperial examination. Even though there are still no seat masters, room masters, etc. in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, as the examiner, he overcame all opinions and ranked Bai Gui as the number one scholar. Then... this is Already equivalent to half a division.

It's nothing to be a half-master. He presided over the imperial examinations and admitted many scholars into the Jinshi department. But what makes Bai Gui's achievements so amazing? He, a half-master, is nothing like Rong!

"If you don't mind Prime Minister Song, you are willing to take Prime Minister Song as your teacher in the Political Affairs Hall and learn the essentials of handling government affairs!"

"The Prime Minister of the Song Dynasty was the prime minister of Kaiyuan, and he was responsible for the misfortunes and blessings of the world..."

"You are still young, and government affairs are different from other things. You are concerned about the country and the people, and you should not be judged easily. Therefore... I am willing to take Prime Minister Song as your teacher and follow his example."

Bai Gui's eyes revealed a hint of cowardice, and he suddenly spoke.

Parties!

What he lacks now is party members!

When he served as the inspector of Jiannan Road, although he had many staff and subordinate officials, these were not considered party members. Only officials who served in various ministries of the court could be considered party members.

If you want to establish a wide range of party members, you cannot do without the support of the official of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

It just so happened that Song Jing was the real powerful figure in the political affairs hall and his "teacher" for the imperial examination. If he followed Song Jing's lead, not only would he not be scolded, but he would also think that he respected his elders in the officialdom and respected his teachers' etiquette. This can eliminate the hostility of the officials towards him.

The most important thing is that after he worshiped Song Jing as his disciple, Song Jing's party members became his party members, and he inherited them as teachers and students. Similarly, even though he is now the right prime minister, he is not powerful and the decision-making power does not fall into his hands. He is originally a yes man...

It would be ridiculous for a dignified right minister to be a yes man, but when it comes to master and apprentice... and learn from Song Jing to handle government affairs, the meaning of his yes man is different.

"this……"

Song Jing was a little moved, with a look of hesitation on his face.

Bai Gui becoming his disciple is indeed excusable and justified. Now a dignified Right Chancellor, a man who is the ultimate military attache, is so eager to worship him as his disciple. If he says he is not interested, it must be a lie.

The hustle and bustle in the world is all beneficial, and the hustle and bustle in the world is beneficial.

The word fame and fortune is touching!

Becoming Bai Gui's teacher, he ruled for the rest of his life, and Bai Gui, as his successor, continued to rule the Tang Dynasty. This would undoubtedly be a good story for future generations.

Very proud!

"You will go to the saint in person to tell him..."

"Please rest assured, Master Song!"

Bai Gui said.

Seeing that Bai Gui had changed his name to Master Song, Song Jing nodded unhappily and agreed.

The other prime ministers in the Political Affairs Hall were unable to say anything and could only congratulate the two.

If Bai Gui and Song Jing did not have this kind of relationship, Bai Gui's behavior would inevitably be somewhat despicable. But who let the two really have a master-disciple relationship, it would be a good story wherever they go.

"Tangzhou reported urgently a few days ago that there might be a drought, and timely prevention is needed, and the court is requested to grant the power to open the charity granary..."

The group of ministers continued to discuss the matter.

Song Jing is an old minister, and he handles such affairs steadily and without any difficulty.

"Prime Minister Song, what you said is very good!"

"Prime Minister Song, this plan is feasible..."

"I agree with what Master Song said!"

Almost every prime minister nodded in agreement.

It's just that when it comes to Bai Gui, the picture is a little discordant.

But the prime ministers felt much better inexplicably.

Bai Gui's rise to power was so fast that they felt overwhelmed.

In the past, they all had a good impression of Bai Gui and regarded him as a good young man who could take over the heavy responsibility of the court, so they were kind and caring, but Bai Gui suddenly rose to the position of prime minister and began to "compete for power" with them. After the interests were related, they were not happy with it no matter how they looked at it. Now Bai Gui has redefined his position as their junior, and they are not the kind of people who will not let go, so they chose to accept him harmoniously into the political hall.
