352. Bai Xiang Wants to Leave Us, an Orphan and a Widow, Behind? (Please Subscribe to the Full Version)

Zongsheng Temple is the former residence of Emperor Gaozong of Tang, Li Zhi, and it is built like a royal palace. Google search and read

There are more than 20 architectural complexes of various styles, with exquisite layout and grand scale.

Pavilions, terraces, and corridors are winding.

Yang Yuhuan was sent to Zongsheng Temple to practice Taoism since she was a child, so she had her own boudoir in the back garden, and there were also maids dressed as nuns to serve her.

This was not the first time that Bai Gui came to Yang Yuhuan's boudoir.

He stood at the door.

There were several pots of coral scenery beside the pillars in the courtyard. Down the corridor, there were three or four rockery, entangled with wisteria, and a swing was swinging gently in the wind beside the rockery.

There was a rustling sound coming from the window with bright hinges.

He could hear that Yang Yuhuan was changing clothes.

Although he didn't care about a Taoist robe, Yang Yuhuan insisted that he come with her and return the Taoist robe to him after she changed clothes.

The boudoir was not far from the Laojun Hall in the front hall.

It was a matter of convenience, so he walked over with Yang Yuhuan.

"Why does it take so long to change clothes? Women are really troublesome."

Bai Gui waited at the door for a while, thinking.

But at this moment, the door of the boudoir creaked open.

Yang Yuhuan walked out lightly.

She did not change into a Taoist robe, but dressed like an ordinary girl. On the top was a narrow-sleeved silver shirt made of fine silk, lined with a green tube top, and underneath was a Chenghu pomegranate skirt, and her jade feet were wearing apricot embroidered shoes.

She walked gracefully, with a fairy-like appearance.

She bent her slender waist and took small steps, showing her white wrists in the light gauze.

Holding the folded Taoist robe, she stopped three or four steps in front of Bai Gui, bowed to Bai Gui, her beautiful face slightly red, and whispered: "Yuhuan thanks Second Senior Brother. If it weren't for Second Senior Brother's protection today, Yuhuan might have made a fool of herself."

"You and I are senior brothers and sisters, and we should support each other."

"Little Junior Sister, don't be surprised."

Bai Gui took the Taoist robe and was about to put it on again when he smelled the fragrance on the Taoist robe. He looked up and saw that Yang Yuhuan's face was already made up, and she was so charming that she could overwhelm the country.

If the previous plain face was like a lotus emerging from the water, but now with the makeup, she is even more beautiful.

Heavy makeup and light makeup are always suitable.

No wonder she waited so long.

"Second Senior Brother, don't move. Why don't you...Yuhuan put on this robe for Second Senior Brother? It can also be regarded as Yuhuan's insignificant apology."

Yang Yuhuan raised her eyes and bit her lip.

If you want to repay Bai Gui's kindness, this little thing is not enough. But if you are not willing to do even a little thing, how can you say the word repay.

"This..."

Bai Gui took a deep breath and looked at Yang Yuhuan again.

He understood something.

Women dress to please themselves.

It is impossible to say that Yang Yuhuan only has a female Taoist robe. But the reason why she dressed like this is that she has already shown her girlish intentions.

Before Bai Gui could refuse, Yang Yuhuan "took" the Taoist robe from Bai Gui again.

A faint fragrance rushed into his nose.

Yang Yuhuan approached, put on the Taoist robe for Bai Gui again, and tied the belt patiently.

...

What Bai Gui said to Hou Shaowei was not a lie. The Tang Dynasty has now entered the right track. Zhang Jiuling, who he chose to replace him as prime minister, has grown up now. It will not lead to a situation where he will die and his politics will end as soon as he steps down as prime minister.

As for Li Linfu, although he was his confidant, he was also quite wary of those who were sweet-mouthed but treacherous. He used treacherous ministers, but that did not mean he trusted them. It was just because Li Linfu had worked hard and made great contributions that he sent him to serve as a frontier official.

In addition, his efforts in the central structure over the years have finally paid off. The virtual monarch strengthened the power of the ministers. Although the emperor did not become just a symbol, the emperor's power was much reduced compared to the original.

After all, the ministers who could serve as prime ministers were unlikely to be incompetent.

As for the emperor, that was uncertain.

As for the rule in various parts of the world, the Zhou Dynasty's way was adopted, with the princes' enfeoffment and the protectorate being given equal importance to maintain the rule.

"Achieve merit! Establish words! Establish virtue! Three immortals, I have completed them all..."

"Establish words, although I may not write Confucianism such as Xinxue and Lixue, but all dynasties have used Qin law. I reformed the Tang Dynasty and took a path that no one had ever taken before. The reform was successful, and I summarized the experience and wrote a book to pass it down to future generations. It can also be regarded as a successful establishment of words..."

Walking on the road to the palace, Bai Gui thought carefully.

"Establishing virtue means creating laws and benefiting the people."

He succeeded in reforming the law, and the government was in harmony, which is the immortality of establishing virtue.

"Achieve merit means saving people from disasters and difficulties, and making contributions to the times."

When he was a general, he destroyed Nanzhao and Tubo. When he was a prime minister, he ruled the Tang Dynasty, destroyed the Turks, Dongying, and the Western Regions, and established rule in the world, which is the immortality of establishing merit.

"To establish a theory is to get the point and the theory is passable."

He studied the Taixue and gathered the wisdom of the scholars, and compiled his own experience in reform. He summarized the reforms of the past dynasties and his own experience in reform as prime minister for so many years, which is enough to be passed down through the ages and make his theory immortal.

As for the theory of mind and rationalism, although it is feasible, it is not his own. After all, it is not his own. A poem or a lyric is fine, but if you want to steal a whole set of theories, you can't say that you can be consistent in words and deeds, and unity of knowledge and action, but at least in your own governance theory, you should fit your own orthodoxy.

Otherwise, if you don't trust your own orthodoxy, and still want others to believe it, it will be a joke.

Bai Gui is not greedy for power.

Compared with immortals who have been around for a long time, the prime minister has more power, but it is not what he wants. It was just because serving as the Prime Minister and Assistant Prime Minister made it easier to accumulate good deeds and merits, so I became the Prime Minister and Assistant Prime Minister.

Some days ago, he had already felt in his mind that he had accumulated enough 300 good deeds to become an Earth Immortal.

The Tang Dynasty is now in his hands and has developed to its extreme. Even if he serves as prime minister again, even if he can accumulate a lot of merits, compared with the past, the difference will not be just a little bit.

The accumulation of good deeds is enough. What is missing now is the realm. Once the realm is reached, he will become an earthly immortal.

For Taoist leaders like Hou Shaowei, if they don't have the opportunity, even if they succeed in the Nine Returns of Gold Liquid and achieve the realm of Earth Immortal, they will still be just "fake Earth Immortals". Although his lifespan has been extended, he is not qualified to live forever as an immortal in the Paradise of Cave Heaven.

"If you perform three hundred good deeds, you can become an earthly immortal and live in the caves of the Five Mountains." - "The Secret Sutra"

Because three hundred good deeds are like an ID card issued by the heaven. Without these three hundred good deeds, even if you reach the realm, it is just a black account. You must accumulate enough good deeds before you can continue to pursue the path of immortality.

Of course, thanks to the issuance of Five Emperors' Money, his master Hou Shaowei can earn a certain amount of good deeds every day. Although it will not be as fast as Bai Gui's accumulation of three hundred good deeds, in his lifetime, he will still be able to accumulate three hundred good deeds. Something to look forward to.

Resigning as prime minister cannot be accomplished in one sentence, and the backend must be handled well.

Otherwise, a lot of mess will be left behind, and the good deeds will be greatly compromised. If the Tang Dynasty continues to maintain stability, he can still have good deeds. After all, he is the third immortal.

The beauty of a gentleman will be cut down in five lifetimes.

It will last at least a hundred years.

The first thing to do was to tell his ally, Concubine Wu Hui, about this.

Concubine Wu Hui controlled the harem and the young emperor, creating a lot of convenience for him during his reign.

Taiji Palace, Xianju Palace.

The young emperor, the longevity king Li Hao, came to the palace to pay his respects to Concubine Wu Hui.

More than eight years later, the longevity king Li Hao has turned fifteen years old, the young emperor, and looks like a handsome young man.

"Father, you are here too."

Longevity King Li Hao was a little surprised, but then his expression returned to normal. He stood up and paid his respects to Bai Guiyi.

As the prime minister, Bai Gui holds the power that can easily dethrone him from the throne.

Moreover, Bai Gui's prestige at this time was unparalleled, and no one in the country could match it. As a young emperor who has not yet taken charge personally, he has been severely trained by Bai Gui since he was a child. How dare he treat Bai Gui lightly.

"Mao'er, please step back. The queen mother and your sub-father have something to discuss."

Concubine Wu Hui's beautiful eyes brightened when she saw Bai Gui, and she waved her hand, indicating that Li Hao should leave first.

"Then...I won't disturb you two, my father and my mother."

Li Hao lowered his head slightly, bowed and saluted again, and slowly exited the palace with the eunuchs and maids beside him.

After Li Hao left, the sound came from the Xianju Palace again.

"The Supreme Emperor is now obsessed with cultivating Taoism and seeking immortality. He has not touched me for many years, and I don't know what the Supreme Emperor means. Is it possible that he will continue to be pure and devoid of desires?"

Concubine Wu Hui said resentfully.

"Your Majesty has great plans in mind. Now that immortality can be expected, your temporary female lust... Your Majesty will control himself. The Queen Mother does not need to worry about it."

Bai Gui replied.

Li Longji ascended to the throne not because he was the prince, but because of his powerful methods. For such people, although they will enjoy material desires, if they have higher pursuits, temporary patience is not a big deal.

In the same way, when he was studying for the imperial examination in Zishui County, he had the Kunlun Mirror in his hand, but he was still willing to eat bran-thick vegetables because it was not difficult for him to delay enjoyment.

Concubine Wu Hui: "..."

The meaning of her words was not to discuss Li Longji.

"Prime Minister Bai... I wonder if you have any confidential matters to discuss with me this time?"

Seeing the serious look on Bai Gui's face, she asked.

"The prime minister wants to step down from the position of prime minister, and the person he likes is Zhang Jiuling from the Political Affairs Hall. He and the prime minister have a long history, and he is a loyal minister, so he can take over the position..."

Bai Gui pondered for a while and said.

"Zhang Jiuling?"

Concubine Wu Hui was surprised. She knew that Zhang Jiuling had some conflicts with Bai Gui because Bai Gui became the prime minister and abolished and established things.

Now Bai Gui recommends Zhang Jiuling, which is really surprising.

Don’t you avoid relatives and enemies when promoting virtuous people? !

"etc……"

"Xiang Bai, are you going to step down as prime minister? How old are you now? It is the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period. If you step down and leave us orphans and widows, how can you manage the affairs of the government? You will definitely be criticized by others. bully……"

Concubine Wu Hui suddenly realized this.

Once an outsider takes over the position of prime minister, her and the little emperor's situation will be in jeopardy.

"Queen Mother, the Emperor has not passed away yet!"

A strange look flashed across Bai Gui's face and he corrected him.

What kind of orphans and widowers, Li Longji is still alive.
