The Tang Dynasty: The Concubine of the Holy Soldier

Chapter 318 The position of prime minister is yours

Chapter 318 The position of prime minister is yours

Seeing that Bai Jingyi didn't speak for a long time, the smile of the minister of the aristocratic family froze on his face.

They were even more thinking in their hearts: "Could it be because I exposed my purpose too early, which made the King of Beiliang unhappy!?"

"But we had a very happy conversation before, did they fall apart just because of this one sentence?"

"What's more, I and others are planning to help the King of Beiliang. Doesn't the King of Beiliang say nothing?"

"If that's the case, wouldn't the previous politeness of the King of Beiliang be fake?"

However, Bai Jingyi silently looked at the teacup in his hand, deliberately not speaking.

In fact, he just wanted to put psychological pressure on these people.

After all, it is they who want something from themselves now, not what they want from them.

Seeing Bai Jingyi's expression of pretending to think, the ministers of the aristocratic family couldn't help but say: "It's our honor to help the King of Beiliang!"

"What's more, the Tang Dynasty is now prosperous and prosperous, and under the leadership of the King of Beiliang, the barbarians around the Tang Dynasty have been wiped out!"

"As a result, the surrounding small barbarian countries dare not invade again."

"Now I'm just waiting to do my part for the King of Beiliang!"

In desperation, the ministers of these aristocratic families could only overcome rigidity with softness, they had to stabilize Bai Jingyi's emotions first.

Seeing the extravagant looks of these people, Bai Jingyi just smiled faintly and didn't speak.

These family ministers continued: "As long as the King of Beiliang needs it, all the students trained by my family can go to Liangzhou immediately!"

"I have long heard that the King of Beiliang is for the country and the people. It is really admirable. Now that I have the opportunity to help the King of Beiliang, I wish for it..."

However, after Bai Jingyi heard this, he said slowly: "No! I appreciate your kindness!"

"Don't let these students stay in Chang'an City to study hard in a cold window, and prepare to become officials in the court!"

"As for the reading and literacy of the people in Liangzhou, this king has his own arrangements!"

When they heard this, the ministers of the aristocratic families present felt a little bit in their hearts.

Could it be that the King of Beiliang wants to put aside his relationship with himself and others?

But why didn't the king of Beiliang refuse the generous gifts he gave before?

Even the six-entry and six-exit White Mansion, as well as the more than 700 maids in this mansion, are all from the hands of the aristocratic family.

The food, gold, and cloth sent were innumerable... Could it be that the King of Beiliang is about to turn his face now?

But what is the reason?After all, no matter whether they are in the court or outside the palace, they have never offended the King of Beiliang.

Bai Jingyi didn't pay any attention to the expressions of these people and their psychological changes.

So what if they are unhappy?

Bai Jingyi seemed to be thinking of himself and said, "Confucius said, don't do to others what you don't want yourself to do to yourself!"

"I don't have too many people in Liangzhou who want to read and write, so I don't need too many students!"

"This king doesn't want to bother you!"

When he heard this, the minister of the aristocratic family still had a grudge in his heart, but he relaxed a lot.

Then, Bai Jingyi continued: "Here, above this court hall, there is still a lack of a prime minister position!"

"Such a head of all officials, with a high position and weight, can even sit on an equal footing with this king!"

"Right now, the Holy Majesty has not explicitly said that the position of Prime Minister will be awarded to a certain minister!"

"Instead, let the civil and military officials recommend one person to be the prime minister!"

Hearing this, the ministers of several aristocratic families present all became short of breath.

They were even more guessing in their hearts.

"What is the intention of the King of Beiliang when he said this?"

"Could it be that the King of Beiliang already has a candidate in his heart?"

"Could it be that the king of Beiliang still wants to be the prime minister of the court!? If so, then this young man's ambition may be..."

When thinking of this, the ministers of several aristocratic families present couldn't help their hearts beat faster.

After all, such a thing has never happened before.

While serving as a first-rank general, he even wanted to be a first-rank prime minister.

If so, wouldn't it monopolize the entire court! ?There is no longer any restriction between civil and military......

At the same time, a bolder idea emerged in the hearts of the ministers of the aristocratic family: "If you monopolize the court now, do you want to win the throne in the future?"

However, Bai Jingyi glanced at them and said, "Everyone present, who do you think can be the prime minister?"

The ministers of several aristocratic families looked at each other, thinking in their hearts: "Could it be that the king of Beiliang already has a candidate in his heart, and it needs them to recommend it together!?"

Wang Chen immediately stood up and cupped his hands to Bai Jingyi and said, "Return to the words of the King of Beiliang! According to the officials, Changsun Wuji is the most likely to be the prime minister!"

"Above the court, there are many heroes who founded the country, and I am afraid that they will be born among the confidantes of the Holy Majesty!"

Wang Gui also cupped his hands and said, "From my point of view, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui must have the opportunity to serve as prime ministers!"

"After all, the two of them are not only the founding heroes, but also the most reliable counselors around the Holy One!"

"So, the lower officials think that these people are definitely people who are both civil and military in the Manchu Dynasty!"

After listening to Wang Gui's words, the ministers of the aristocratic families present nodded lightly.

After all, the situation in the DPRK and China is indeed the case, even if the aristocratic family is powerful.Above the court, there are many officials.

But it was still difficult to resist Li Er's imperial decree.

However, when Bai Jingyi heard this, Bai Jingyi shook his head.

Seeing Bai Jingyi shaking his head, everyone was very puzzled. Could it be that these people are not the ones the King of Beiliang wants to recommend?

Wang Gui couldn't help but asked: "Then the King of Beiliang thinks, who should be the prime minister above the court!?"

Bai Jingyi smiled faintly, pointed at Wang Gui and said, "Of course it's you!"

"Uh……"

The ministers of the aristocratic families present were all stunned in place, unable to speak.

Even looking around, I didn't know what to say after a long time.

Wang Gui pointed to himself in astonishment and asked, "The king of Beiliang said he was a subordinate official!?"

Bai Jingyi nodded and said, "That's right, it's Wang Shilang!"

While talking, Bai Jingyi was thinking in his mind: "Although it's not the time for him to be prime minister!"

"But with myself here, it only takes one sentence to guide most officials in the court to recommend Wang Gui as prime minister!"

"Moreover, in order to make the aristocratic family more willing to consume their foundation to help themselves!"

"Then we must give them a little bit of sweetness! Otherwise, these people from aristocratic families are not stupid, and they will definitely stop their losses in time!"

"This... the King of Beiliang is just joking!? How can the subordinate He De take up the post of prime minister!?"

Wang Gui asked very puzzled, but he was thinking in his heart: "Could it be that the King of Beiliang wants to support me to take the position?"

"If you can get the support of the King of Beiliang, the position of prime minister may really be yours!"

The rest of the aristocratic ministers also murmured in their hearts.At this moment, it seems that the aristocratic and powerful families who seem to be united in the same breath are about to fall apart at this moment, each for their own interests...
