Chapter 123
When Bai Kai and Bai Mengmeng turned around and turned around when they heard someone talking behind them.
I saw an old man in his sixties behind him. He was wearing an official uniform, and Bai Mengmeng couldn't recognize what kind of official he was. He just felt that the old man's voice was obviously older than his age, but his eyes were still energetic.
"Grandpa, who is he?" Bai Mengmeng asked Bai Kai quietly.
Bai Kai said, "He is also a famous person. His courtesy name is Zishou, his nickname is Bowu, his surname is Zhang Jiuling. He is currently the right prime minister of Shangshu."
"He is Zhang Jiuling!" Bai Mengmeng lowered her voice hard, for fear that Zhang Jiuling would hear it.
Barrage:
"Good guy, Zhang Jiuling!"
"The bright moon grows on the sea, and the ends of the world share this time!"
"A generation of famous ministers!"
"Talented, you can be appointed as the official!"
"Good official!"
Zhang Jiuling quickly stepped forward and came to Bai Kai, saw Bai Kai clearly, and saluted Bai Kai.
"Students pay homage to the teacher." Zhang Jiuling said respectfully.
"No gifts." Bai Kai said.
Bai Mengmeng's eyes rolled, teacher? However, in ancient times, she could respect her respected elders, even if they were not her students, she could still respect her teacher.
Zhang Jiuling looked at Bai Mengmeng again, wondering who this woman was. He looked at Bai Kai and wanted to ask.
I heard Bai Kai say, "Don't care about her."
Bai Mengmeng secretly stuck out her tongue, OK, don’t care about me, I’m just a little transparent passerby.
Zhang Jiuling said to Bai Kai: "Teacher, I once saw someone named An Lushan and General Pinglu. I secretly looked at this person carefully with the skills of the teacher's teachings, and I didn't realize it was shocking."
"He came to the capital to pay homage to me one day. I looked carefully at the back of his head and found that there was a rebellion! According to the book of the photo, if there was a rebellion behind his head, it would be a treacherous and chaotic person who was betrayed the Lord. I wanted to tell Your Majesty to be careful of this person, but there was no evidence, so I was afraid that Your Majesty would not listen."
"I'll see the teacher today. Please remind Your Majesty to be careful of An Lushan."
Bai Kai asked Zhang Jiuling: "If you don't see me today, do you want to remind him today?"
Zhang Jiuling said: "A An Lushan visited the officials in the court everywhere. If he didn't remind him, he might be able to make a good relationship and he would be unable to shake him any more."
Bai Kai suddenly asked Zhang Jiuling: "Why did you name Jiuling?"
Zhang Jiuling was stunned. He didn't know why Bai Kai asked this, so he had to answer: "Give him a name."
Bai Kai said: "Do you know that there are also some specialties in naming a name. Nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine
"You are nine years old and it is a hurdle. If you step over, you will have a prosperous career. You will know that you are a literary person at the age of nine. You will get the Big Dipper to shine with the literature to overcome the disaster and overcome the life hurdle."
"But Seven Stars can only protect you seven times. Ninety-seven sixty-three. The day of your limit will be when you are sixty-three."
Zhang Jiuling was shocked. "Teacher, this is what he said seriously!"
Bai Mengmeng was also shocked. Grandpa, you should be too damn about her death in person. Are you not afraid that Zhang Jiuling will turn against her or be angry to death on the spot?
Barrage:
"Wociao, can the name Jiuling be calculated like this?"
"Good guy, what a good guy!"
"Zhang Jiuling's age is actually controversial. Some say he lived to be 68 years old, while others say he lived to be 63 years old."
"The Old Book of Tang and the New Book of Tang say that he lived to be 68 years old, but both Zhang Jiuling's Shinto Stele and Zhang Jiuling's Epitaph say that Zhang Jiuling lived to be 63 years old."
Bai Kai shook his head and said, "You can't be true. Look at yourself, you are only fifty-nine years old this year, but you look like you are in your sixties. Your voice is older than your real age. Do you know why?"
Zhang Jiuling saluted Bai. "Please give me some advice."
Bai Kai said: "There are three reasons. First, you work hard on national affairs, worry about the country and the people, spend too much effort, and have not maintained your body well. Moreover, the depression is deposited and cannot be dissipated."
"Second, it is better to take it straight than to seek it in the wind. If you offend too many people, it is easy to break it. If you are also impatient, it will be easy to break it. There will be a deposit of stuffiness and cannot disperse it."
"Third, today is the Qianqiu Festival, Li Sanlang's birthday. If you advise An Lushan to have a rebellious backbone, he will rebel in the future. Wouldn't it be a pity for him? In this way, it is hard to say whether he can survive this year, let alone live to 63."
Zhang Jiuling looked at the brightly lit Guangda Tower in the distance and murmured: "If I don't advise An Lushan today, I will rebel in the future, and I will have four years to live?"
"If I give advice, I may not survive this year?"
"That means that even if I give advice, it will be useless and I will lose my life?"
Zhang Jiuling bowed to Bai Kai and said, "Teacher Xie will take care of you. I won't mention An Lushan today, but I will definitely mention it on a date."
Bai Kai said: "If you mention it, your official position will be difficult to protect."
Zhang Jiuling said: "Do your best and leave your destiny."
"But there is something else?" Bai Kai asked.
Zhang Jiuling shook his head: "Nothing is wrong."
Bai Kaila Bai Mengmeng made way and said to Zhang Jiuling: "I want to look at these lights more, you can go first."
Zhang Jiuling thanked Bai Kai and walked slowly forward.
Looking at Zhang Jiuling's slightly hunched back, Bai Mengmeng sighed: "I didn't expect that he had seen that An Lushan was not a good person."
Bai Kai said: "When he was determined to be an official, he asked me to teach him the art of face. He said that if you learn the art of face, you can select good officials. Only with good officials can you do more good deeds for the people. I gave him a book of face scriptures and let him explore it by himself."
"Will he promote many good officials when he becomes prime minister?" Bai Mengmeng asked.
Bai Kai shook his head: "It's not that easy. Imperial arts, checks and balances of power, he can't do whatever he wants."
"Some people are good officials, but they are suppressed to the lowest level early because they are good officials who are willing to do things. Those who flatter, flatter, and know how to rush to do things have become officials and take care of them."
"If Zhang Jiuling wants to promote those people, he can only raise them step by step. In the meantime, someone will be forced to do so again." Bai Kai shook his head.
"Grandpa, you told Zhang Jiuling that he could only live for four more years. Why didn't he ask you to save him and let him live for a few more years?" Bai Mengmeng.
Bai Kai said, "This is also the place where I was willing to give him guidance. Zhang Jiuling could see clearly and knew that he could not be greedy. He knew that his life span was already his blessing. It was precisely because he knew that if he asked me to save him, I would not tell him how long he could live."
When Zhang Jiuling left, Bai Kai took Bai Mengmeng slowly to Guangda Tower. He asked Zhang Jiuling to leave first, because he didn't want Zhang Jiuling to stare at him from behind.
The two of them didn't go far, and a team of guards came over with a young man. The man was wearing a brocade robe and didn't look like an official, nor like an ordinary person.
"Who is he?" Bai Mengmeng asked Bai Kai quietly.
Bai Kai said: "He is the eighteenth son of Concubine Wu Hui and Li Sanlang, Prince Shou Li Mao, Concubine Wu Hui and Li Linfu want to support him as the crown prince. I guess he wants to ask me to discuss this matter."
"Ah, then do we want to go?" Bai Mengmeng was a little at a loss.
This was the first time she faced a prince, and she should not be suitable for her to get involved in these palace struggles.
"Don't worry, I'm in everything." Bai Kai comforted Bai Mengmeng.
Li Mao came to Bai Kai, bent down to Bai Kai and said, "Eighteen years have seen Mr. Bai."
"What's the matter?" Bai Kai asked Li Mao.
Li Mao said: "When he returned to Mr. Bai, his mother asked me to come and find Mr. Bai. He said that the banquet had not yet begun and wanted to invite Mr. Bai to go to the garden. She asked Mr. Bai for advice if she had something to do."
"Lead the way." Bai Kai said.
"Yes." Li Mao looked at Bai Mengmeng and asked Bai Kai: "Mr. Bai, why didn't you ask her?"
"No need to care about her." Bai Kai said.
