Chapter 779 Farewell to Tang Xuanzang
Xue Rengui was right. No matter how strong this tribe grew, it could only tremble at the feet of the Tang Dynasty. Perhaps his worries were unnecessary. After a day of repairing here, Pei Xingjian asked the soldiers in the army to gather a team and leave here and head towards the Qilian Mountains.
In Chang'an, Li Chengqian received the report that Pei Xingjian had presided over the Tubo Alliance. He was now on his way back and immediately summoned Chu Suiliang and Xu Jingzong.
Li Chengqian has been in charge of politics and his status as a lowered person these days, and often sits in the Secretariat for a whole day. Chu Suiliang said to Li Chengqian, "Your Majesty, the sea ships in the East China Sea have already set off, and you can arrive in Japan within a short time."
"I understand." Li Chengqian was not very concerned about the matter of Haimai. After Li Zhi took over the Ministry of Haimai, he was scolded by his father. Now he can't interfere in the matter of Haimai.
Li Chengqian took out a report and said, "Pei Xingjian is coming back."
Chu Suiliang took the report and nodded, "It seems that the alliance has ended, and the alliance has been completed perfectly. Pei Xingjian is a talent that can be created."
Li Chengqian smiled and nodded, "I also know that he is a talented person. Now there are many vacant positions in the court. I don't know how my dear thought he should reward Pei Xingjian."
"I dare not assert that I am your Majesty's minister. If I speak nonsense, I will be quick." Chu Suiliang said.
Xu Jingzong also bowed his head and said nothing.
"Pei Xingjian was originally the Minister of War. He has been very capable since the academy was born as the Chang'an Order." Li Chengqian paced back and forth and said, "Now among the three provinces and six ministries in the court, there is a very shortage of manpower in the subordinate province. It is better for me to give Xue Rengui the subordinate province a peacekeeping matter."
Pingzhangshi, the official position of the Ministry of War, is not high or low, but he is just a errand runner-up, not as good as the previous Minister of War. Chu Suiliang was puzzled when he heard Li Chengqian's words, saying that this time he was a meritorious in hosting the alliance, why it looks a bit like a demotion?
"What do you think?" Li Chengqian nodded and asked.
"Your Majesty." Chu Suiliang said, "There are many young students in Menxia Province now, and the competition is fierce now. If Pei Xingjian enters Menxia Province, it may be inappropriate."
Li Chengqian continued, "My dear continues."
Chu Suiliang continued, "The Ministry of Personnel has reported that there are fifteen new officials in the Menxia Province who are currently in the trial. They can be officially appointed by the Ministry of Personnel. Now, Pei Xingjian is suddenly allowed to enter the Menxia Province. Students who were originally probation in the Menxia Province will definitely have ideas. Your Majesty might as well keep Pei Xingjian outside the three provinces and serve as secretary."
"Secretary?" Li Chengqian also looked at Chu Suiliang.
Xu Jingzong knew the importance of this position. The Secretary Lang's position is outside the three provinces and six ministries. It is used to accompany the emperor to record the emperor's daily life, which is the daily life note. The advantage of this position is that you can often stand by the emperor.
Xu Jingzong was very confused. He originally thought that Chu Suiliang would put talents like Pei Xingjian in the Secretariat and asked him to take them on his own, but now he has put them next to His Majesty.
Li Chengqian nodded.
After leaving Ganlu Palace, Xu Jingzong asked Chu Suiliang in confusion, "It is no exaggeration to give her a minister of the Secretariat according to Pei Xingjian's ability. Why is it a secretary?"
"Your Majesty sees Pei Xingjian's ability." Chu Suiliang said again, "You still remember that when His Majesty was not ascending the throne and was still the crown prince, there were only Pei Xingjian, the only one who Li Chengqian wanted to win over everywhere."
Xu Jingzong thought of this and said with a smile, "In the beginning, Gu Qing made Chang'an a lot of people in order to reject Li Chengqian's win."
"That's right." Chu Suiliang said, "Although Li Chengqian did not say in public how to promote Pei Xingjian, even if he wanted to promote, he didn't have to ask us. He was just very careful with His Majesty Pei Xingjian. Now he has no power and power. He is just a 17-year-old boy. It's not good to promote too much. Otherwise, he would be too lucky to join and take care of the affairs of the disciples? Your Majesty is just testing us and asked this."
Xu Jingzong nodded, "Since you are the talent that Your Majesty wants, it is the best to stay by your side. So you are talking about the position of Secretary. The reason why Your Majesty asked this is just for the sake of temptation."
Chu Suiliang nodded.
"It seems that Pei Xingjian's future will not be simple." Xu Jingzong sighed.
Gu Qing also received news that Pei Xingjian was doing a smooth job in the alliance in Tubo.
Tang Xuanzang lived at home for five days and was here to say goodbye today. "Gu Qing, I should leave."
"Where are you going?" Gu Qing said to Tang Xuanzang.
"I plan to go to Daning Temple to see it." Tang Xuanzang said to Gu Qing, "Thank you for so many days of entertainment. Gu Qing, although you have killed so many people, you have a kind of compassion in your heart and a compassion for the common people in the world."
"What do you mean by saying that?" Gu Qing sent Tang Xuanzang away all the way.
With a long sigh, he continued, "Gu Qing, what you care more about is the common people in the world. You have this compassion and feel that it is rare for the poor monks to be. You are not a bad person. You have your own purpose in your heart. You want to do things that your predecessors have not done. Your persistence and your efforts are related to your own purpose in your heart."
"I just saw a lot of disasters and didn't want another war in the Central Plains."
"This road is not easy to walk." Tang Xuanzang has been observing Gu Qing for many years. Since he came back from the West to meet Gu Qing, he has heard many stories about Gu Qing. He also figured out what Gu Qing's real purpose is in Luoyang, and said, "I know that no matter how you persuade you, you will not stop your pace. You have made so much effort for your plan in your mind. It is not something that I can persuade you in a few words. No matter how thorny this road is, even if the sword mountain is a sea of fire, you, Gu Qing, will you continue."
"Tang Xuanzang, I admire you." Gu Qing also said to him, "You have a heart that pitys all the people in the world, and I am a person who uses any means. You are not on the same road as me."
Tang Xuanzang smiled bitterly, "Sometimes I think about it, will I die at your hands one day?"
"No." Gu Qing said, "You will not become a person I want to kill. You are just a person who is determined to move towards Buddhism and Taoism."
