The Multiverse Starting from White Deer Plain

"After returning to Chang'an, if the princess is dissatisfied with Chide Zuzan..."

"I can also tell the saint to make peace between the princess and Zanpu!"

Bai Gui sighed. Google search reading

Now that the Tubo Kingdom is destroyed, there won't be many obstacles to Princess Jincheng's marriage. With his current power and his return with a great victory, Li Longji would not disagree with this request.

These things were nothing to him, but to Princess Jincheng, they were fate-changing events.

Although Princess Jincheng is a princess, there is a big gap between princesses. If Princess Jincheng was really favored in the palace, she would not be sent to Tubo Kingdom for marriage, and her father, King Fen, would not send her away so easily. go out.

You can tell just by looking at the treatment of Li Longji's other sisters.

Although there is no shortage of glory and wealth, there is a big difference in treatment between her and her two sisters, Princess Jinxian and Princess Yuzhen. Princess Jinxian was able to enter the palace late at night to ask for an audience with Li Longji, but for the other princesses, even the opportunity to enter the palace to meet the emperor was pitiful.

And princesses and divorce... were very common in the Tang Dynasty.

Li Yuan had a total of nineteen daughters, among whom Princess Gaomi, Princess Changguang, Princess Fangling, and Princess Anding all divorced or remarried; Li Shimin had twenty-one daughters, including Princess Xiangcheng, Princess Nanping, Princess Sui'an, and Princess Cheng. Princess Yang and Princess Xincheng both divorced and remarried; needless to say, Princess Taiping, daughter of Li Zhi, and many of the daughters of other emperors remarried.

"I would like to thank the Duke of Linyi County..."

Princess Jincheng's face flashed with joy and she thanked her.

She was married to Tubo Zampu. It is not that easy to remarry. To a certain extent, Tubo people must be stabilized. Although this seems to be nonsense, she and Li Longji are not close, and they have no influence in the court. In other words, this kind of nonsense can really take hold.

"I have already held a banquet in King Tubo's city, and I have invited the Duke of Linyi County to come in..."

Princess Jincheng invited.

She married into Tubo, but brought many maids and slaves with her.

Tubo is about to perish. For Tubo Zampu, it is bad news that the sky is falling. She has lost her ancestral country and needs to leave the city to surrender. But for her, Tubo has been destroyed by the Tang Dynasty, and her treatment will not be the same. Because he was short of time, he asked his servants to prepare a banquet early to welcome Master Wang.

…

The destruction of the Tubo Kingdom was not sudden. Two groups of Tang troops plowed the court and swept away the caves, clearing out almost all the Tubo Royal Court's forces on the snow-covered plateau. At the end, he led a large army to Tubo King's City, and Chi Dezu Zan Zanpu was forced to leave the city and surrender.

Therefore, Tubo does not deal with many domestic affairs.

After Bai Gui stayed for a few days, he took the Tang army, which was already exhausted, and prepared to return to the court.

Along with him, there were the Prime Minister Tubo and Tubo officials who were being escorted, Tubo Zampu who was under house arrest, and Princess Jincheng who was a guest of honor.

The Prime Minister is the leader of Tubo officials, equivalent to the prime minister of the Central Plains dynasty.

The supervisors sent from Chang'an were responsible for handling Tubo's domestic affairs to check each other and prevent the big ones from not leaving.

On the march.

On a luxurious carriage.

"The county prince will go to Chang'an to report on his duties. He will be rewarded based on his merits. He is expected to be crowned Duke, but... I don't know how the saint will arrange the county prince's future appointment."

"As the saying goes, after a general comes out, he becomes a prime minister, but now Zhongshu Ling, the six ministers, the left and right servants of the Shangshu Province, the ministers of the Menxia Province... all have capable ministers. When the county prince enters the court, in terms of seniority, there are no Maybe he is under the spotlight..."

Yang Xuanyan's eyes flashed slightly, he glanced at Xue Ne beside him, and said.

In the system of three provinces and six ministries, as a rule, the chief officials of these departments plus the title of Pingzhangshi are the prime ministers and assistants. And Bai Gui was originally a fifth-grade Zhongshu Sheren. Now he has destroyed two countries in succession. He is one of the best in the world in terms of military achievements and his momentum is unmatched by others. Even the emperor must avoid some sharp edges.

If we follow common sense, a famous general like Bai Gui who has made great achievements should be like Li Wei Gong Li Jing, who stayed behind closed doors after returning to the capital and complained of illness to appease the emperor.

You must know that the emperor at the time of Li Jing was Taizong Li Shimin, and Li Jing was still like this, let alone the current emperor Li Longji. Although Li Longji was wise and powerful, he was no worse than before Li Shimin ascended the throne. At this time, Bai Gui's military exploits and prestige in the army were no less than those of Li Jing in the early Tang Dynasty.

But it was obvious that Yang Xuanyan, a subordinate official, knew that Bai Gui did not intend to thank guests behind closed doors, but was interested in getting married.

"Although I have lived in Tubo for a long time, I also know that the Jinshi Department of Jinshi is called the prime minister in white clothes, not to mention the qualifications of Zhongshu Sheren, and it is natural for him to be the prime minister of the country..."

Princess Jincheng knelt down next to Bai Gui, glanced at Xue Ne with her beautiful eyes, and spoke in support.

She is also a person who repays kindness.

Now that Bai Gui is interested in the position of Prime Minister, she does not hesitate to help and say a few good words at this time.

There was silence for a while.

Bai Gui took a sip of the tea soup made by Princess Jincheng. It was the Tang Dynasty at this time, and tea sage Lu Yu had not yet invented fried tea, so making tea was basically tea soup with everything in it, including shredded ginger, maltose, and salt. The tea brewed by sencha makers is not that unpleasant to drink and has a unique flavor.

After drinking the tea, he glanced at Xue Ne's expression and asked softly: "I wonder what General Xue thinks?"

Since Wu Zhao vigorously promoted the imperial examination system, basically the prime ministers were held by people who came from the imperial examination. This was a phenomenon at this time, and among the various subjects of the imperial examination, the Jinshi subject was the most valuable. It is no longer the norm in the past during the Taizong and Gaozong dynasties that military generals could become generals or prime ministers.

These are unspoken rules, not explicitly stipulated.

But this is generally the case with groups.

And his qualifications and merits are enough, more than enough.

The only thing I'm worried about... is that the military merit is so great that it's scary. But if he didn't have military merit, he would have to be at least forty or fifty years old if he wanted to reach the position he is today, or the position of Prime Minister. He has to go through qualifications!

Therefore, there are pros and cons to choosing this path.

"If the county magistrate wants to be the prime minister and assistant, Ne... will definitely try his best to help."

Xue Ne sighed deeply, then cupped his hands and said.

Bai Gui showed great kindness to him, not only by asking for mercy in the second year of Kaiyuan, but also in the past few years, when discussing merit and rewards, he praised him a lot as the coach.

If he doesn't agree today, not only will his conscience be troubled, but he will also be despised by everyone in the world.

"Killing relatives out of righteousness" is not so easy to kill!

What's more, although Bai Gui wanted to be the prime minister and assistant, he had no rebellious intentions. He could only be regarded as greedy for power. His agreement to help could not be regarded as a breach of loyalty.

"As General Xue said..."

"I feel much more at ease now."

Bai Gui's tense face revealed a smile and he said.

In this battle, besides him, the one who made the greatest contribution was Xue Ne. Xue Ne's support for him is equivalent to the support of both Tang armies. If the court refuses to allow him to serve as prime minister, it is equivalent to denying the way for military generals to become prime minister.

Li Jing did not know how to endure for the sake of the country, and ordinary generals did not understand justice so well.
