The Multiverse Starting from White Deer Plain

Concubine Wu Hui and Li Longji still have some relatives. Although they are relatively far apart, it is not rude to call Princess Jinxian her sister. Google search reading

Otherwise, according to the ethics of ordinary people, even if a sister-in-law is younger than her husband's sister, she will never be called sister.

Dirty bastard!

"This time, Meihe and you captured Nanzhao, and the threat of vomiting Bo can be postponed, but keeping sick animals in a cage for too long will lose the dignity of the Tang Dynasty..."

"Since you have the courage of a champion, and have a good family background after Bai Qi, Lord Wu'an of the Qin State, I order you to exercise power over Tubo. Within ten years, not only will you not see Tubo destroyed, but at least you will destroy Tubo." To Hehuang, the claws of the Western Region."

"If everything goes well and you have achieved military success, you can return to the capital and become prime minister!"

Li Longji looked solemn and said slowly.

Now on the border of the Tang Dynasty, the main threats are the Turks and Tubo. The former is no more. Even if the Tang Dynasty can be plundered and defeated, it will not be possible in the end. If the Tang Dynasty can have contact with the Turks, sooner or later it will be able to repeat the Northern War. They are in their hometown, but the latter is different. Relying on the natural dangers of the snowy area, they can attack when advancing and defend when retreating. Moreover, Tubo's organizational form is obviously much stronger than that of the Turks. It is equivalent to another foreign country. If it goes on for a long time, it will surely A serious concern.

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

"Your Majesty trusts me and I am willing to go there."

Bai Gui, who was sitting on the bench, stood up, cupped his hands and replied.

"Of course I believe you are safe."

Li Longji smiled faintly.

Bai Gui is not married yet and has no heirs. Even if he takes power, there is no need to be afraid.

Moreover, according to Qian Niuwei's report, Bai Gui never exceeded the rules when he was appointed as an official and on the way to destroying Nanzhao, which shows that Bai Gui was a loyal minister.

In addition, Bai Gui was impartial and selfless when evaluating officials. He had the nickname Bai Qingtian, which shows that he was an upright and direct minister.

With such virtuous assistants, what should he fear?

He is now in the prime of life, and he is not a young master of the country.

When it’s time to delegate power, delegate power!

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

The emperor, whether he is a wise emperor or a faint emperor, will be divided into several levels: relatives, family members, outsiders, etc. Bai Gui can be regarded as his former minister, and he has an inexplicable relationship with Princess Jinxian, so he can be regarded as half a prince-in-law. Lieutenant, he felt much more at ease than having an outsider take charge.

Although there have been so many cases of relatives usurping power in history, most of the later emperors did not take warning even if it happened. This shows that relatives are more useful than foreign ministers.

"Bai Gui obeys your orders!"

"I divided the Nanzhao Kingdom and some prefectures and counties of Jiannan Province into the Jingnan Protectorate. As the protector, you are also the inspector of Jiannan Province and the governor of Yizhou. Your appointment remains unchanged!"

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

If you want to deal with Tubo, the big enemy, you have to delegate power. If you don't delegate power, the two chief officers will be constrained at every turn and they won't be able to accomplish anything.

Moreover, although he said he would delegate power, the soldiers and horses in the Jiannan Province and Jingnan Protectorate were not the elite of the Tang Dynasty. Even if Bai Gui wanted to rebel, wouldn't he be able to suppress Jiannan Province with the elites from Guanlong, Hedong and other places? !

What's more..., the power of the imperial envoy is tied to the emperor. If Bai Gui rebels, the governors of eastern and western Sichuan and the governors of various states will not rebel with him. Therefore, what Bai Gui really holds is the corner of Nanzhao that he captured.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Bai Gui bowed deeply and took the newly cast Tiger Talisman and Golden Seal of the Protectorate from Gao Lishi.

"Now that the appointment is complete."

"The morning court has just finished. Meihe, you haven't had a meal yet. Come and have a meal with me. When you leave, write a few more words. I want to taste it carefully..."

Li Longji smiled.

The character is like the person, Bai Gui learned about facial expression, the most open-minded, dignified, energetic and bold.

Gao Lishi passed on the meal.

Division system.

The cuisine in the palace is exquisite.

Although Bai Gui ate elegantly and gracefully, the food on the table disappeared very quickly, and the serving eunuchs kept adding more dishes.

It's not that his dignified third-grade officials lack this kind of food, or that the food in the palace is extremely delicious.

Instead, pay attention to this item when eating. It is not necessary.

Show your true character in small things, and be vague about big things. This is the way to behave as an official.

This scene was also noticed by Li Longji and he nodded secretly.

"Since Marquis Lin Yi likes this roasted mutton, the royal chef in the palace... will temporarily lend it to Marquis Lin Yi and return to the palace when Marquis Lin Yi takes office."

"Another twenty heads of top-grade mutton from the palace will be given to the Marquis Mansion..."

Li Longji ordered.

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

"Meihe, if you stay in Jinxian Temple for a long time, you will inevitably attract gossip. I will give you a mansion."

He took a breath and said slowly.

In the past, it was normal for Bai Gui to live in Jinxian Temple as a guest of Princess Jinxian, but now that Bai Gui is the Marquis of Linyi, it is not appropriate to live in Jinxian Temple.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"It's not easy to live in Chang'an... I am short of money, so I haven't bought a mansion yet."

Bai Gui replied.

He is not short of money, but the house he bought cannot be compared with Jinxianguan. Jinxianguan has everything you need. It is royal style and extremely luxurious. Living there is much more comfortable than an ordinary mansion.

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

Li Longji looked at Bai Gui with admiration.

The emperor liked wine, sex, and extravagance, but most of the time he didn't like his courtiers to be like this.

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty."

Bai Gui thanked him as usual.

Rewards are by convention, and making him a county prince will not only give him a small reward, but the reward cannot be included in the imperial edict, and it is easier for the emperor to speak it personally, so that the effect of benevolence can be more easily achieved.

Lunch ended quickly, taking about a quarter of an hour.

Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, Li Longji, wanted to review the memorial, so Bai Gui resigned and walked out of the Hanyuan Palace.

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

They purposely blocked him at a deserted corner, with Wu Jieyu's confidant maids on both sides.

"Marquis Lin Yi, wait...wait a moment."

Concubine Wu Hui was dripping with sweat.

"What happened to Jieyu?"

Bai Gui frowned, having guessed something.

Concubine Wu Hui was the grand-niece of Wu Zetian. After the fall of the Wu family, the trees fell and the animals dispersed. Concubine Wu Hui had no power behind her and was weak in the palace.

At this time, the queen of Tang Xuanzong's surname was Wang, and she was the king of the Wang family in Jinyang.

Concubine Wu Hui must find foreign help if she wants to gain a foothold in the palace.

Jieyu is of the third rank, with nine permanent members in the palace.

"Lin Yihou..."

"I have always been on good terms with Sister Jinxian. Last time, Sister Jinxian said that she wanted to ask for the Alchemy Sutra..., but my father, who had been in Chui Gong for three years, under the order of the Holy Queen Zetianshun, went out to visit the immortals and ask questions, and he happened to get it. An alchemy sutra, I found this elixir sutra last night while searching for my father's belongings..."

"I also asked Marquis Lin Yi to pass this alchemy scripture to Princess Jinxian, which can be regarded as fulfilling our sisterhood."

Concubine Wu Hui took out a silk book from the maid's hand and handed it to Bai Gui with a smile.

A saint can have countless concubines, but there are only these two biological sisters. If Bai Gui had not been there, she would have chosen to befriend the two princesses.

But now that Bai Gui is famous, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Bai Gui will definitely be a powerful figure in the Tang Dynasty in the future.

Making good friends at this time will bring endless benefits.

"Pindao thanks Wu Jieyu for Jinxian."

Bai Gui hesitated for a moment, then cupped his hands and thanked him.

At this time, the concubines and foreign ministers were not so taboo. Concubines who were slightly powerful would collude with foreign ministers. This situation was often seen.

One of the reasons why Queen Wei poisoned Tang Zhongzong Li Xian was because she did not want Li Xian to find out that she had corrupted the palace and investigate her personal affairs.

It's only been a few years since this happened.

And Concubine Wu Hui will obviously be pampered for a lifetime. Although Bai Gui does not like to associate with concubines in the palace to avoid future troubles, Concubine Wu Hui has a good reason at this moment. If she does not accept the alchemy scripture, she will inevitably become enemies with Concubine Wu Hui. It may be okay for a while, but there is no guarantee in the future. Will Concubine Wu Hui slander her?

Think clearly about the consequences and benefits.

Bai Gui took the Alchemy Sutra.

He also wanted to see what the alchemy scriptures obtained after Wu Zetian ordered people to visit immortals to seek Taoism.

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