Sama checked into the Guest House and waited for the summons from the Tang Dynasty court.
Gao Shi then went to the palace to pay homage to Prince Jianguo. Li Tan said some words of encouragement and asked the eunuch to take him to see the emperor.
Seeing Emperor Li Heng's appearance, Gao Shi's eyes became sore and he shed a few tears.
Li Heng is now open-minded. In addition to actively carrying out rehabilitation training, he is also obsessed with calligraphy and poetry writing. When he met Gao Shi, a world-famous poet, he took him to discuss the theory of poetry for a while.
It was already early, so I reluctantly put Gao Shi back.
Li Tan never restricted people's access to the Daming Palace, but courtiers rarely visited Emperor Li Heng.
On weekdays, apart from Li Mi, an old friend, only Princess Yanguang would come to the palace to accompany Li Heng.
There is nothing we can do about this. Royal affairs are the most complicated. Although it seems that father and son are in harmony now, if there is any problem in the future, it will be fatal to settle the matter.
Because there would be two-way flow between the political hall and the local government in the future, Li Tan bought several houses in Guanglufang as residences for the prime ministers who came to Beijing.
If the prime minister leaves Chang'an, the house will be taken back to the political hall and handed over to the next prime minister who enters Chang'an.
Although Gao Shi was not short of money, he did not buy a house immediately, but settled in this imperial-given house.
Cui Guangyuan then introduced everyone's positions to Gao Shi, and then said with a smile:
On weekdays, everyone works in the political hall and corrects documents at their seats. Unless there is a major incident, they will discuss it.
After lunch, Gao Shi returned to his seat. The materials sent by the officials were all about outstanding young people. I am afraid they are all talents that the court should focus on cultivating.
"Has the Ci'en Temple tower been burned down?"
When Gao Shi heard Du Fu talking about the Ci'en Temple Tower, he felt mixed feelings in his heart.
Gao Shi was naturally very satisfied with such an office environment, and then Cui Guangyuan handed several documents to Gao Shi.
Gao Shi said quickly: "They all worked for the Tang Dynasty, and the position Zhang Xiangguo sat in is very good."
No wonder Cui Guangyuan first asked Gao Shi if he had a suitable personal assistant. Leadership secretaries have always been the shortest way to promotion, and of course they must be chosen carefully.
The prime minister's seat in the political hall has now been upgraded. It is no longer a simple bed, but a gorgeous wooden table. The prince of the state has also built a row of rooms behind the political hall to serve as the prime minister.
A place where we rest every day.
Everyone said: "Good!"
Gao Shi cautiously met with several old friends, including Du Fu who was transferred to Chang'an Military Academy.
The prime ministers were stunned, and Gao Shi continued: "Such bad habits should be eliminated as soon as possible."
Only during lunch is the time when the prime ministers gather together without interruption. This is also the best time to discuss important matters.
Cui Guangyuan said with a smile: "I'm afraid Prime Minister Gao doesn't know the origin of this prime minister. The two traitorous prime ministers during the emperor's period, Li Linfu and Yang Guozhong, were both superstitious people. They both believed that the prime minister's weakness was due to their officialdom.
It is a place of luck that cannot be moved easily, and it even refuses to be cleaned by servants, so it became like this."
At that time, he and his friends traveled together arm in arm, and each climbed to the Ci'en Temple Tower to compose poems. Then he returned to Chang'an again, but the Ci'en Temple Tower had collapsed.
Gao Shi was very happy to see Du Fu, an old friend, and seeing Du Fu's increasingly wealthy figure, he knew that Du Fu had lived a good life these years.
The two talked about their younger years again, but the preparations for the establishment of the military academy were a secret that only belonged to the prince, and it was not convenient for Du Fu to say too much.
Gao Shi nodded quickly. He really didn't know how Li Linfu and Yang Guozhong sat down in this seat.
There is a small canteen next to the political hall. For the imperial prime minister, meal time is also a very important office time.
All I saw was that the main seat was a dark, soft mess, covered with oil stains and food residues, and even emitted bursts of sour smell.
The new prime minister who entered Chang'an, Gao Shi, was an old minister who had gone through the emperor's and emperor's periods. There was an endless stream of old friends who came to visit him.
Cui Guangyuan said: "Nowadays, there is no prime minister in the political hall. If the high minister does not want to sit, then he can set up a seat next to me."
Gao Shi suddenly said: "Since there is no prime minister in the court, why not clear out this soft cave?"
Many important decisions in the Tang Dynasty were discussed during lunch. Gao Shi came to the canteen of the Political Affairs Hall with excitement.
Once again lamenting how time flies, Gao Shi asked Du Fu to have dinner again, but Du Fu said that he had an old wife at home and could only make an appointment next time.
"Nowadays, there is no prime minister in the court, and everyone takes turns. In the past few days, the prime minister will be familiar with political affairs first, and he will be the last one in line for the time being. How about that?"
Today, it was Cui Guangyuan who wrote the pen. Under the leadership of Cui Guangyuan, Gao Shi was welcomed into the political affairs hall. He first offered incense to the statue of Confucius on the main seat of the political affairs hall. Cui Guangyuan pointed to a seat and said:
"This is the position that Prime Minister Zhang once held. I don't know if Prime Minister Gao has any personal taboos, but the position can still be adjusted."
As soon as he entered the door, he almost vomited.
Gao Shi suddenly discovered that this dirty and soft cave was the only one left that could still sit on.
In the political hall, there are not only the prime ministers, but also the ministers of the Central Secretariat and the Fifth Chamber of Commerce, the clerks who copy documents, and the editors who are responsible for sorting out materials. These various people have a lot to talk about, and it is not convenient to discuss them at a lot of time.
Cui Guangyuan said with a smile: "This is the list sent by the officials. Their qualifications are all written on it. Whoever is suitable for the high minister can be appointed."
Gao Shi nodded quickly. They were on duty anyway, and he couldn't argue about this matter if he was new here.
When the prime minister is eating, other staff members have to stay away.
However, Cui Guangyuan did not let Gao Shi decide immediately, but said: "It's noon, let's go and get started."
Passing messages between the prime minister and various ministries and yamen, this is a very important position, equivalent to the prime minister's secretary.
The other prime ministers also felt disgusted and sat down far away from the main seat.
Could it be that the food residue on the soft floor was left behind decades ago? Gao Shi was about to vomit it out.
Gao Shi quickly shook his head and said, "I'm not good at appointing people. I came alone to Chang'an this time and there is no suitable candidate."
Li Mi said with a smile: "The first thing that the high minister did when he entered the political hall to make decisions was to clear out this weakling. What do you think?"
"All departments in the court are making adjustments, and our political affairs hall has also made some fine-tuning. Each prime minister will be assigned an attaché from the fifth room of Zhongshu, who is responsible for delivering news to the six ministries and temple supervisors. This position is of great importance. Whether the prime minister is
Do you have a capable candidate?"
The next day, Gao Shi straightened his clothes, wore a purple official robe, and entered the official office of Zhengshi Hall.
Seeing that Gao Shi was so easy to talk to, all the prime ministers also breathed a sigh of relief. No one wanted to have a colleague who cared about everything.
When Gao Shi turned over Liu Yan's information, he couldn't take his eyes away. This resume was so exciting.
Liu Yan was a child prodigy and worked as an official in Longyou for a while. The more Gao Shi saw it, the more he liked him, and he immediately asked the Ministry of Personnel to recruit Liu Yan to serve as his official post in the fifth room of Zhongshu.
Because Gao Shi was in charge of the Salt Institute and the Shipping Department in Yangzhou, the prime ministers discussed assigning the work of the Household Department to him. Nowadays, the prime ministers of the Zhengshi Hall have their own priorities, and basically allocate official documents to handle according to their areas of expertise.
But as evening approached, Prime Minister Cui Guangyuan said today:
"There is another matter today that was urgently brought to us by Honglu Temple. Your Highness is going to meet with the envoy of Dashi. I, the Tang Dynasty's policy attitude toward Dashi, must be discussed as soon as possible."
