Later, Li Shimin opened a literature museum in the west of the palace, recruited eighteen scholars of literature as bachelors, called "eighteen bachelors", and ordered the famous painter Yan Liben to be the portrait of "eighteen bachelors", and Chu Liang made a eulogy. Fang Xuanling was the first of the "Eighteen Bachelors" at that time. When later historians commented on the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, they all recommended Fang Xuanling, and always said: The virtuous prime minister of the Tang Dynasty had Fang Du in front and Yao Song in the back.

is the head of this "eighteen bachelors", but his son is extremely uncompetitive. "The Biography of Xuan Ling in the New Tang Dynasty Study" mentions his second son's widow. Fang Xuanling's second son, Fang Xuanling's bereaved love. Absurd, reckless, unlearned. But there is a lot of strength. Because of Fang Xuanling's merits, he married Princess Gaoyang and became the general of the right guard. Emperor Taizong originally favored Princess Gaoyang. Therefore, the courtesy to her is higher than that of others. But the princess was arrogant and had an odd temper. has always been jealous of Fang Yizhi, and inherited Fang Xuanling's official title as the eldest son. When Zhizhi learned about this, he was a little scared, and wrote to ask for the title to be relinquished, but the emperor did not allow it, and began to be a little cold to the princess. The princess was in a bad mood and began to mess around with a monk called Debate Machine, who was a disciple of Chen Xuanzang and a famous monk in Chang'an. The emperor became angry, beheaded the monk, and killed dozens of slaves and maids around the princess because of this incident. Therefore, the princess held a grudge, and after that, the emperor died, and the princess cried without tears.

Gaozong succeeded to the throne and moved out to leave the history of the Bianzhou thorn and the history of the Fangzhou thorn. The princess is guilty of framing Fang Zhizhi. The Gao sect sent the eldest grandson Wuji to inquire. So he got the reason for Princess Gaoyang and Fang Yiai to rebel, the love was killed, and Princess Gaoyang died. The widow was exonerated in Fang Xuanling's face, and was only demoted to the rank of Tongling County Lieutenant. The "Fang Yiai Rebellion" incident refers to the palace coup d'état conspired by Fang Yiai and his wife, Princess Gaoyang. Princess Gaoyang was proud and imperious, and after the debate machine was beheaded and died, Princess Gaoyang has always been unhappy. After Gojong ascended the throne. Princess Gaoyang and Fang Yiai contacted Xue Wanche and Chai Lingwu, who were at odds with Gaozong, and planned to launch a coup d'état. Gaozong was abolished and Li Yuanjing, the king of Jing, was established as emperor. But the matter was not classified, the plan was leaked, and everyone was arrested. Gaozong sent the eldest grandson Wuji to try the case, and the eldest grandson Wuji took this opportunity to implicate Li Ke, the king of Wu, and Li Yuanjing, Li Ke, Fang Yiai, Princess Gaoyang, Xue Wanche, Chai Lingwu, Princess Baling, etc. were all killed.

Compared with Fang Xuanling and Fang Xuanling's love, Du Ruhui's father and son are not much worse.

Du Ruhui, one of the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion, was a famous minister in the early Tang Dynasty of Huaguo. In the first year of Tang Wude (618), Ruhui was introduced by Li Shimin as a subordinate official of the Qin Palace. As usual, from the conquest, participate in confidential and militaristic affairs. Cut off like a stream. In four years, Li Shimin built the Tiance Mansion and engaged in Langzhong with Ru Hui. At that time, the competition for the succession to the throne among the brothers of the people was very fierce, and the crown prince Jiancheng tried to remove the wings of the people and slander the people of the world in front of Li Yuan, the ancestor of the Tang Dynasty, so Ruhui and Fang Xuanling were both expelled. In the ninth year, he infiltrated the Qin Palace's palace to plan the changes in Xuanwumen, and worshiped the prince's left concubine with merit.

Taizong ascended the throne, such as the book of the Ministry of Relocation of Soldiers. Entering the seal of Cai Guogong, the second year of Zhenguan (628), with this official inspection of the school service, the regent department of the book. Still in charge of the East Palace. For three years, Ren Shangshu's right servant shot and still led the election. He died in March of the fourth year. If obscure is the time. It was not long before Tang Xinjian was built. He and Fang Xuanling were in charge of the government together, and the rules and regulations were determined by the two of them. When it is called, it is obscure and long than broken. Xuan Ling is good at scheming, and the two cooperate tacitly. Concentric assistance to Taizong, later generations on the Tang Dynasty good ministers, the first to recommend Fang, Du. In the fourth year of Zhenguan, Du Ruhui was seriously ill, Li Shimin personally visited his home, soothed his tears, and promoted his son Du Gou to serve as a monk before he breathed.

Even though the emperor valued him so much, Du Ruhui still couldn't resist the invasion of disease, and he was only forty-six years old when he died. Taizong cried very much, gave Sikong, sealed the Duke of Laiguo, said that it was completed, and made an edict for the inscription. Later, once Tang Taizong ate a delicious melon, suddenly remembered Du Ruhui, burst into tears, and sent people to lay half of the food in front of the spirit card of this Wenchen, and sent imperial dishes from time to time to pay tribute. On Du Ruhui's death day every year, Taizong sent people to his home to comfort his wife and son, and has always maintained his position as an official in the government. "The end is gracious, and there is nothing to be done."

Du Ruhui's second son, Du He, "New Tang Dynasty Book. Du Ruhui said that he had a cruel temperament and did not abide by the law. Married to the princess of Chengyang, the official did AMTD Fengyu and was named the prince of Xiangyang County. When Cheng Qian rebelled, Du He said: "Yan Liren, a native of Langxie County, is good at astrology, saying that there are variables in the sky, and a great cause should be established, and His Majesty should be the emperor today." Please say that if you are sick, the emperor will definitely come to see you, and you can take the opportunity to start an incident. "And Cheng Qian's affairs were defeated, and Du He was also killed. I don't know if Li Shimin in his later years was heartbroken because of the rebellion of his third son, and he couldn't take care of the descendants of this hero anymore.

And Di Renjie, who is very famous in history, actually has a son of a loser.

Di Renjie was an outstanding politician. After entering politics, he experienced two eras of Tang Gaozong and Wu Zetian. At the beginning, he was appointed as the governor of the prefecture, transferred to Dalicheng, and was reappointed as the imperial historian, and successively served as Ningzhou, Yuzhou Assassin History, and local officials and waiters. Di Renjie is an official, as Lao Tzu said, 'the saint is impermanent, and the heart of the people is the heart', in order to save the innocent, he dares to disobey the monarch's will, and always maintains the true character of being sympathetic to the people and not afraid of power. He was appointed Dali Cheng, who was in charge of criminal law, and within a year of his appointment, he handled more than 17,000 cases left by his predecessor, and none of them appealed for justice, which shows his fairness.

Di Renjie's talent and fame were appreciated and trusted by Wu Zetian. In September of the second year of Tianzhu (691), Di Renjie was appointed as a local official (household department) squire, Tongfeng Pavilion (Zhongshu Province) Luantai (Menxia Province) Pingzhangshi, and began his short career as the first prime minister. In an important position, Di Renjie is cautious and self-controlled, and strictly disciplined himself. One day, Wu Zetian said to him: "Qing is in Runan, there is a lot of good governance, Qing wants to know who is Qingqing?" Di Renjie Xie said: "Your Majesty takes the minister as a fault, and the minister should change it; Your Majesty has no fault with the ministers, and the ministers are also lucky. Ministers do not know the speakers, but they are good friends. Please don't know. Wu Zetian was deeply impressed by his open-mindedness.

Later, Di Renjie's social prestige continued to improve, and Wu Zetian gave him a purple robe and a turtle belt in recognition of his achievements, and personally wrote on the purple robe "Applying to the government, keeping the Qing diligent, promoting the position, and encouraging the ministers" twelve golden characters. In the first year of the Holy Calendar (698), Wu Zetian's nephews Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi lobbied the Queen Mother several times to make her the crown prince. Wu Zetian hesitated. Di Renjie used the foresight of a politician to persuade Wu Zetian to conform to the will of the people. He also returned to the government of Li Xian, the king of Luling. Di Renjie, who has a thorough understanding of Wu Zetian and a slight candle machine, calmly persuaded her from the perspective of mother-son affection: "Lizi, then after a thousand years of life, it will be served with Taimiao." The inheritance is endless; set up a nephew, but did not hear that the nephew was the son of heaven and attached to the temple. Wu Zetian said: "This is a family affair. Don't be foreseen. Di Renjie replied calmly and solemnly: "The king takes the four seas as his home. Within the four seas, who is not a concubine? What is not for His Majesty's family affairs! The monarch is the head of state, the minister is the humerus, and the righteousness is the same. In addition, the minister is the prime minister, how can he not know it? In the end, Wu Zetian realized it, listened to Di Renjie's opinion, and personally welcomed Li Xian, the king of Luling, back to the palace and established him as the emperor's heir. Tang Zuo was able to maintain. Therefore, Di Renjie has been called a loyal minister and righteous man by politicians and historians of all dynasties who has the merit of rebuilding the Tang Dynasty.

In the years when Di Renjie was the prime minister, Wu Zetian's trust in him was beyond the reach of the ministers, and she often called Di Renjie "the old man of the country" without a name. Di Renjie likes to lead court disputes, and Wu Zetian "obeys every reluctance". Di Renjie has retired many times due to old age, but Wu Zetian does not allow it, and often prevents him from worshipping. Wu Zetian once warned the officials of the DPRK and China: "Since it is not a major military matter, don't bother the public." "In the first year of Jiushi (700), Di Renjie died of illness. The government and the opposition mourned, and Wu Zetian cried and said, "The court is empty." Give Wenchang the right man, and say Wenhui. Tang Zhongzong succeeded to the throne and posthumously presented Sikong. Tang Ruizong also named him Liang Guogong. Now Di Renjie ancestral hall monument is located in the north of Kongzhuang Village, Daming County, Hebei Province.

Di Renjie has two sons. The eldest son is called Di Guangsi, and the younger son is called Di Jinghui. Di Guangsi was the secretary of the government at that time, and he was an honest official. He is conscientious and a clean official in the minds of the people. But Di Renjie's youngest son is not so competitive. The "Old Tang Book" said that he was quite greedy. Hated by man. When Di Jinghui first became an official, he was still more cautious. However, with the continuous promotion of official positions, you can't do it yourself. Especially after being promoted to Bingzhou Wei Gong and joining the army, he lived a frugal life, which aroused serious dissatisfaction among the local people. When Di Renjie was in charge of the history of Bingzhou, the local people once erected a monument for him, and later Di Jinghui stirred up peace in Bingzhou, and the villagers smashed Di Renjie's monument. After Di Renjie found out, he was very angry and categorically dismissed his official position and stopped his work. Many ministers have repeatedly interceded for Di Jinghui, hoping that Di Renjie will give his son a chance to correct his mistakes. Di Jinghui also knelt in front of his father and begged for mercy with tears, and said that he would be a new person. But Di Renjie still insisted on degrading his son's official position unchanged, and said to his son earnestly: "The sage should be lifted, and the greedy should be punished." This is the way of employing people and the law of rejuvenating the country. ”

Compared with the early Tang Dynasty, because of the initial determination of the war, the powerful were redundant and reckless, so they were a little lax in teaching their next generation, and there would be so many gentlemen, and most of the fathers and sons also had a very good inheritance. There may be a situation of a hero Lao Tzu and a bear son, but there are few real losers.

It was not until the time of the Tang Dynasty that a father and son appeared, this is Li Mi and Li Fan.

Li Mi was a great strategist in the middle of the Tang Dynasty, born in a family of eunuchs, a scholarly family, seven years old Nengwen, known as a strange child. He lived in the four dynasties of Tang Xuanzong, Suzong, Daizong and Dezong, and made outstanding contributions to the military, political and diplomatic aspects to quell the Anshi Rebellion, crusade against the rebellion of Li Huaiguang and Li Xilie, and unite Huifu, Yunnan, Tiandizhu and other countries to resist the invasion of Tibet. He has also made a lot of achievements in governing the country. He is another legendary figure like Zhuge Liang and Liu Bowen in the history of China, and in terms of wisdom and merit, it seems that he is above these two mythical figures - Zhuge and Liu benefit from novels and wild history, but few can be confirmed by history; And Zhuge Liang only maintained Shu Han's peace for a while, and Liu Bowen could not avoid the fate of his own dove. In contrast, Li Mi, who has official history as evidence, is probably only comparable to Zhang Liang of the Xinghan Dynasty in history.

At the time of Li Mi, the fragility of the imperial court was really no longer able to cause trouble. With his loyalty and wisdom, Li Mi acted as a mediator of the royal family, tried his best to repair the estrangement and confrontation between Suzong and Xuanzong due to Suzong's self-reliance, and worked hard to maintain the normal relationship between Suzong's father and son, in order to prevent Dezong from abolishing the crown prince; He was even willing to risk killing himself and destroying the door, and admonished Su Zong to favor Zhang Hou. At a time when the Central Tang Dynasty was worried about internal and external troubles, the imperial court was able to maintain the basic stability of the political situation, and Li Mi made great contributions.

But his son Li Fan degenerated into a sworn friend of the treacherous minister Pei Yanling. Lu Zhen impeached this shameless minister, asked Li Fan to draft a recital, and then Lu Zhen personally revised it. This kid memorized the full text, and then informed Pei Yanling so that he could strike first.

These are all famous losers in history, and if you want to compare with these people, Levi can't catch up with these people even if he is ten times more domineering. Why, because the degree of defeat of these people is no longer something that can be evaluated. If they lose their family, they are directly worshipping the family's foundation for decades, and such a figure is quite rare in the entire history.

And Levi is naturally nothing compared to them. But I have to say that at this time, Li Wei's move was unintentionally to directly trap Li Changguo, although it was not very important, but it made it more difficult for Li Changguo to take the position.

As a competitor, Li Changguo has fewer opportunities, so their chances will naturally increase. Don't look at it as just a position, but if one person gains the Tao, the chicken and dog ascend to heaven, once Secretary Wang obtains the position of mayor of Yulan City, then the people around them will be beneficial. This is also the reason why they are in a good mood too.

Even after seeing Li Changguo's face, some people couldn't help but propose to Secretary Wang: "Secretary Wang, since we are here, do we have to go up to see Vice Mayor Li now, otherwise wouldn't it be too rude?" ”

Hearing this suggestion, Secretary Wang's expression couldn't help but move, this was indeed a good move to stimulate Li Changguo. But soon, he suppressed the idea. Still shook his head: "Forget it, it's so late today, let's go back!" ”

Anyway, the person who was hospitalized today was Li Wei, and Li Changguo was in a bad mood at this time, although it would stimulate Li Changguo a little in the past. But if it is spread out, it is inevitable that some people will say that he has a small belly and chicken intestines, and if such an evaluation is spread, then he will not want to fight.

No matter how many disputes there are in the audience, they must maintain harmony on the surface, which is their basic. And Secretary Wang is also worried that once this matter becomes big, then the big guy above will come forward and deprive both of them of their qualifications.

This is a normal thing, although according to the administration, the position of mayor is produced among them. But if they make too much trouble and let the big guys above look at it, then there is a great chance that neither of them will have a chance, and let other people get this good thing for nothing, in that case, it will be a little more than worth the loss.
