The Multiverse Starting from White Deer Plain

"Prime Minister Bai, please don't say this again."

"My uncle knows that he is a lucky minister, how can he be compared with Prime Minister Bai? If he insults Prime Minister Bai's reputation, it will be the responsibility of his uncle and his subordinates."

Li Linfu suddenly looked panicked and said.

Xingchen, his uncle Jiang Jiao has already forgotten this reputation.

It's no big deal for him to talk about it now. He can just explain it to Jiang Jiao when the time comes.

Doesn't his uncle know if he is a lucky minister?

But to be favored by Li Longji and promoted step by step, most people really can't refuse such a temptation!

"Since Ge Nu said this, I won't force the truth."

Bai Gui took a sip of tea and said slowly.

Later generations summarized Li Linfu in just four words: sweet talk and sword.

The little mouth is like honey.

Although what Li Linfu said was true, it did sound a lot more comfortable. After all, he is still a fifth-grade prince, Zhongyun, and he flatters him in a way that makes people feel comfortable.

"Prime Minister Bai, I heard that Jiang Zhongcheng has been decided by the political affairs hall to be relegated to Longxi..."

"Your Majesty..."

Li Linfu entered, closed the government office door, bowed his body, and said tremblingly.

His prince, Zhongyun, was a fifth-rank official, and Yushi Zhongcheng was also a fifth-rank official. But the fifth-rank official and the fifth-rank official are different, and there is a huge gap. Now the prince Li Ying is only a teenager, and Li Longji is now in his prime. It will take many years for the East Palace to succeed, and it is not so easy to be a potential official.

The Censor Zhongcheng is the second-in-command of the Censor's Office, second only to the Censor Doctor.

From an indifferent job to a powerful department... everyone knows how difficult it is.

"I don't know much about political affairs, so I learned from the Prime Minister of the Song Dynasty."

"Although I don't know where you got the news, I am thinking about the friendship with your uncle. Please step back quickly and let the past be forgotten."

Bai Gui looked unmoved and scolded.

However, although he was scolding, if you are careful, you will definitely be able to guess some subtle relationships from his words.

He first said that he did not hold power in the political hall. Since... he meant to scold him, why did he say this more? !

There must be a reason.

He openly refused, but secretly he was waiting for a price.

Officials are all human beings, but there is a difference between human beings and human beings.

test!

This is Bai Gui's test for Li Linfu.

He is determined to be a powerful minister, and he can abolish the powerful minister who decides the affairs of the world with just one word. Then there will inevitably be many party members and loyal and upright ministers. Needless to say, they will be loyal to the emperor and the Li Tang royal family.

Therefore, the origin of his party members is, firstly, to promote his old friends from the past, and secondly, to find traitors who are not so firm in their stance and have certain wisdom.

Those who can be traitors must not underestimate their own methods.

"All the officials laughed at Prime Minister Bai for being the second prime minister, but the lower officials knew that Prime Minister Bai was not only interested in Xiao Gui and Cao Sui..."

"I am willing to be Prime Minister Bai's mouthpiece!"

Li Linfu revealed his true feelings and said.

This is the qualification that only those in a superior position have. He, an idle worker and a low-ranking official, has no qualifications to betray Bai Gui here. Show loyalty if you can show it.

Secondly, even if he shows his loyalty, Bai Gui will not slander him everywhere, because once he does this, Bai Gui will never think about ruling the Tang Dynasty in the future, and no one will be willing to take him as his wing. This will ruin his future. road.

Since there are advantages and no disadvantages, why not do it.

"Censor Zhongcheng..."

"You are indeed qualified to be a mouthpiece..."

Bai Gui knocked on the document and nodded, "But if I say anything, promoting you to the position of Yushi Zhongcheng will be too eye-catching. Do you have any good plans?"

Li Linfu made it clear that he would no longer hide it.

"The official has a plan..."

Li Linfu was excited. Sure enough, he was right this time. He quickly calmed down. Before coming, he had thought about various options and measures. He replied: "The official asked his uncle to make suggestions to the saint and promote him. My uncle is a saint." Close ministers, although the saint is unwilling to promote his subordinates to the position of censor Zhongcheng, he will sell his uncle a favor and bring the matter to the political affairs hall to discuss the matter."

"At this time, when the imperial edict reaches the political affairs hall, the ministers will definitely reject the saint's decree, because it is an act of chaos. If the political affairs hall refuses, the saint will go along with the situation and never mention the matter again."

He said slowly.

Bai Gui nodded and motioned for him to continue.

"Logically speaking, this matter should end here..."

"The lower official knows that the prince likes hunting, but excessive play will delay his studies. The lower official admonishes him based on his reason. Considering the prince's character, he will definitely be dissatisfied and scolds the lower official..."

"This matter will be reported to the saint. My uncle said that the official and the prince were at odds, so he asked the saint for mercy and reassigned the official to another government office. The matter will be handed over to the political affairs hall for discussion. When the time comes, Prime Minister Bai will only need to mention that the saint once If you prefer to be a lower official, you can serve as Yushi Zhongcheng..."

Li Linfu said slowly.

His strategy is simple, but difficult to implement.

The difficulty is that the Prime Minister of the Political Hall is willing to speak for him.

He has a good relationship with his uncle. Jiang Jiao will definitely not begrudge these few words of pleading, but the difficulty is finding a prime minister.

"This plan... will go without a trace!"

"I'm so busy, I helped you."

Bai Gui narrowed his eyes, put down the tea cup, and said.

When he opened his mouth, he could use the excuse of "understanding the Sacred Heart" or making good friends with Jiang Jiao, which would not arouse suspicion. In the political affairs hall, he had many second opinions, but he only made this one suggestion, which was true. And because Li Linfu was upright and risked his life to persuade him, it was natural for the ministers to agree.

As for whether he would doubt Li Linfu, there is no doubt about it. It is precisely because Li Linfu usually has such a temperament that he happened to bump into this incident and then admonished the prince. They just bumped into each other.

A censor Zhongcheng will not cause too many people to speculate excessively.

Even guessing what the saint is doing will block most people's mouths.

In addition, although he helped Li Linfu this time, although it seemed to be an unintentional act in the eyes of outsiders, for Li Linfu and the lower-ranking people, this was a favor of recommendation. Not to mention repaying him with death, but he usually echoed a few words in the court. , which is also within common sense.

"I would like to thank Prime Minister Bai very much, and I am willing to serve you with dogs and horses."

Li Linfu felt relieved when he saw Bai Gui agreeing, and quickly thanked him.

He is a "treacherous minister", but unlike ordinary ministers, he can see the current situation more clearly. Don't think Bai Gui is seconding the prime minister in the political affairs hall, but this is Bai Gui who has just entered the political affairs hall. He can skillfully gain a foothold by becoming an apprentice with one move. He also has the emperor's favor and deep qualifications. It is only time that he will become the real prime minister in the future. question.

The master chooses his ministers, and the ministers also choose their master!

In his opinion, Song Jing's time in power must be short. The emperor would not agree to a prime minister being in power for too long, so the successor is in the political hall... In terms of qualifications, Bai Gui cannot be ranked, but Bai Gui will definitely Taking over Song Jing's political legacy, Bai Gui will not be inferior to any prime minister of the political hall with this legacy.

Therefore, according to his prediction, Bai Gui became the real prime minister in a few years, not long after.

Therefore, instead of investing in Song Jing, who is just a flower of yesterday, it is better to invest in Bai Gui, who is about to emerge.

The vision... is farther than the average person!

"Please step back, the debriefing time has been enough."

Bai Gui rushed to the door.

He is Zhongshu Ling and is also responsible for some East Palace matters, so it is normal to receive Li Linfu and will not arouse anyone's suspicion.

"Yes! Bai Xiang!"

"I'm going to resign now!"

Li Linfu nodded, guessing that there was enough time, and walked out of the government office.
