324, The Case of the Chopping of Beauty (Requesting Full Order)

The people who left with Bai Gui were not only him, but also many military officers from the imperial court.

Some volunteered voluntarily, while others were dispatched by the Ministry of War.

Anyone with a little foresight can see that in recent years, the main direction of the imperial court's military deployment should be Tubo. Otherwise, they would not deliberately build a new Jingnan Protectorate in Nanzhao and let Marquis Lin Yi control such a large territory.

But on this trip, they were all young generals.

Not a single veteran.

After all, veteran generals who are slightly famous all have their own positions in various armies, and they can't escape easily.

"General Pei, I heard that you have an apprentice in Shu?"

Bai Gui rode his horse, followed by a young general. It was Pei Min who participated in Jingyun's second year of martial arts with him. Pei Min was not as lucky as him. Although he got the second place in martial arts, he still He just entered the palace and became a halberd-bearing member of the Jinwu Guards.

Of course, this official position is already very good. If you have the opportunity to serve as a halberd man, you can go to the border areas, and you will be a general. It's just that in Chang'an City, everyone can be regarded as lost.

"Yes, there is an apprentice named Li Bai. He studied swordsmanship with me for several years when he was young. Later, his family moved from Suiye City to Sichuan."

"This time I will go to Shu with the Governor in my humble duty. Maybe I will see him again."

Pei Min was chatting with Bai Gui on the road. He was a little surprised after hearing this. He didn't know how Bai Duhu got the news, but after thinking about it, he should have revealed it when he was drinking with his colleagues on weekdays. In addition, his apprentice is quite famous in the local area. Bai Gui learned about it accidentally and asked him again, which was understandable.

"Well..., he is good at poetry and swordsmanship."

"He has been a famous child prodigy since he was a child."

When Pei Min mentioned this, a smile appeared on his stern face.

A master is also proud of his apprentice. Having a good disciple and boasting about it is considered a good thing. And he didn't say it for nothing. The country has always liked prodigies from ancient times to the present, and Bai Gui is a local governor and a high-ranking official in the imperial court. If he is lucky enough to become famous in Bai Gui's ears, it will have a great impact on the future development of his apprentice. An excellent thing.

"Bai, a commoner in Longxi, lived in the Chu and Han Dynasties. He was good at swordsmanship in his 15th year and spread among all the princes." - Li Bai's "Book of Jingzhou with Han"

This happened to be when Li Bai was fifteen or sixteen years old.

"I wonder if Li Bai can pick up the characters?"

Bai Guixiao asked.

"I have been exchanging letters with him in the past years. He has not yet been crowned, so he probably has not been crowned."

Pei Min was overjoyed. After hearing Li Bai's anecdotes, Bai Gui became interested in him, so he planned to give him a calligraphy impromptu. This was great news for Li Bai. He would definitely have difficulties in becoming an official in the future. The benefits of speaking.

You must know that Bai Gui was not only a powerful person in the dynasty, but also a great literati at this time. He had certain attainments in calligraphy, Qingci, Ci Fu and other aspects.

From now on, he will definitely serve as Prime Minister and Assistant to the DPRK!

Giving the word is to make Li Bai famous!

"Just call it Taibai."

"But this word is not in vain. You reply to his letter and ask him to write a poem to me."

"Now we have to see how good he is."

Bai Gui said.

In this era, it is normal to appreciate talents when you hear about them.

Not only was his move not strange, it was actually reasonable.

It is also his duty as the inspector of Jiannan Road to promote talented people.

Of course, his purpose was to see if the poems Li Bai wrote for him could outweigh the poems he wrote for Wang Lun, so that he would be famous throughout the ages, become more famous, and gain a little more luck. .

When it comes to being famous in history, with his current achievements, of course he can.

"Yes, I will reply to the letter immediately and ask him to write a poem to the Protector."

Pei Min nodded and agreed.

The word is not given in vain, this should be the test Bai Duhu gave Li Bai. If you succeed in the test, you will be able to enter Bai Duhu's Dharma Eyes.

Of course, he would not reply stupidly and ask Li Bai to write only one poem as a gift. He would write a few more poems without wasting too much effort. Opportunities like this are rare.

…

Ten days later.

Yizhou, governor's office.

When Bai Gui entered the government, he first summoned the governor's staff and officials to deal with the recent backlog of government affairs.

The distance between Shu and Chang'an is not far. Every ten days' government affairs will be sent to the Linyi Marquis Mansion quickly, so there is no need to worry about neglecting government affairs.

So there are not many things to deal with.

He is the number one scholar who came out of the imperial examination and is also a master of history. Some government affairs problems can be solved according to historical conventions. Even if they cannot be solved, he can give appropriate methods according to his knowledge.

Prestige is established through these little things.

Whether you have real talents and practical skills, you can show them in dealing with daily affairs.

After handling the government affairs, Bai Gui waved his hand and asked his staff and officials to leave.

"Bring Zhao Linger here to see me."

He ordered the maid beside him.

"yes."

"master."

The maid took orders and retreated.

After a while, a little girl of several years old tiptoed over.

Behind her was a little girl in a red coat who was a few years older than her, calling "Sister Ling'er" as she walked.

"Ling'er has met Bai Shijun!"

Bai Xiuzhu has awakened from her past life, but like Bai Gui, she is well versed in the Tao. In normal interactions, she always treats herself as Zhao Ling'er, and meeting Bai Gui, her husband from the previous life, is no exception.

"Well, this is the elixir, metal and stone medicine that I refined when I was in Chang'an. There is a method for taking bait on it."

"Take it and take it yourself."

Bai Gui's expression remained normal and he handed a vial of jade fat to Bai Xiuzhu's hand.

Bai Xiuzhu took the pill bottle and thanked him.

"Ling'er has learned some skills in Yizhou these days, although they are shallow, but today, Envoy Bai gave me pills. Ling'er has nothing, so there is nothing to repay..."

"How about singing an opera for Envoy Bai?"

Bai Xiuzhu blinked her eyes, pursed her lips, and said.

After that.

She sang without waiting for Bai Gui to speak, "My husband, come closer and take a closer look, it says..."

"Deceiving the emperor, despising the emperor..."

She sang "The Case of the Chopping of the Beauty"!

Bai Gui broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly called for a stop.

Bai Xiuzhu often went to the theater with the ladies of the Jin family to listen to operas. How could she not have heard of the famous Peking Opera "The Case of the Chopping of the Beauty". And his relationship with Princess Jinxian was known to almost the entire Tang territory. There were probably a lot of rumors in the Yizhou governor's mansion on weekdays. If Bai Xiuzhu heard these rumors, it would definitely not end well.

His name is Meihe, which just happens to match the word "Mei" in the case of beheading a beauty, and he is teasing the princess again...

This is Bai Xiuzhu's warning to him.

"Ahem..."

"I am devoted to Taoism and have never thought of getting married. Ling'er, you and Yueru can go play together."

Bai Gui regained his composure and waved his hand.

Seeing Bai Gui's look, Bai Xiuzhu nodded with satisfaction and left the study with Lin Yueru.

...

After Bai Xiuzhu left.

It was already night, and Bai Gui picked stars and gathered qi as usual.

He scraped some pills of Chixue Liuzhu Dan with his fingernails, held them in his lower jaw, and soaked them with Yujin.

Then he took the external pill using the method of taking Jinshi medicine.

Different external pills have different methods of taking.

Taking them randomly will kill people.

In a moment, the Xuantai in his body grew visibly, with starlight filling his body. At the same time, various colors of cinnabar were integrated into the Xuantai, and it was constantly tempered. During the tempering, it was nourished by the medicinal properties of the Red Snow Flowing Pearl Pill...

When the cocks crowed and the dogs barked, the Xuantai in his body was as big as a basin, and his limbs and internal organs were faintly visible. The blood vessels under the skin also bulged out, like a real dragon turtle Baxia coming to life.

"In the chapter of Santongqi, Yangxing Liming, the inner elixir is described like this..."

"Like a chicken egg, white and black match, one inch long and wide, as the beginning, the limbs and internal organs, tendons and bones can be together, after ten months, it will come out of the shell, the bones can be weak and rolled, and the meat is smooth like candy."

"Now my inner elixir can't reach one inch long and wide."

"If it is based on the ten-month period of a woman, I am now about five or six months."

Bai Gui shook his head and said secretly.

For practicing inner elixir, he is already fast.

Not only because his talent is considered a true immortal, but also because he has been taking external pills recently to sharpen his internal pills, so he can improve so quickly. Otherwise, let alone May or June, according to the previous progress, it would be difficult to make it to March now.
