Chapter 18 Recommendation from Zhang Jiuling

Chang'an Wude Palace!

Li Longji had to come down, and when he was bored, he took the pipa in the apse and sang by himself, enjoying himself. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

This ancient music has always been divided into elegant and vulgar, and the so-called elegant music is used in grand celebrations such as national sacrifices, temples, and court meetings, and the music played has a certain political effect. Folk music, on the other hand, is mainly for people to enjoy and entertain. The difference is somewhat similar to that of later bel canto songs and pop songs. Because Confucius attached great importance to elegant music, he depreciated secular music. Therefore, thousands of Confucian students later felt that the vulgar music was unbearable and the elegant music was noble.

But Li Longji doesn't think so, he has been proficient in music and rhythm since he was a child, loves singing and dancing performances, and feels that although folk music is a little less solemn and serious than Yale, it is more artistic, more pleasing to the ear, and his love for folk music is above Yale.

Compared with the graceful and beautiful music of the Central Plains, he is young and vigorous, he likes the impassioned Hu music more, his fingers beat flexibly, the surging melody ripples in the hall, the rough and passionate words come out of his mouth, the whole person is indulged in the music, twisting his ass and shaking his body, especially happy. If people see this scene, who dares to believe that he is the son of the Tang Dynasty? It's just like the dragon robe in the theater.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" A burly eunuch who did not look like a eunuch at all rushed into the palace.

"Lux, didn't you see that I was busy?" Li Longji was playing and singing happily, which made people forcibly interrupt and his face was displeased. Of all the eunuchs, only Colliers was allowed to enter the temple without passing through the transmission. He has a deep relationship with Gao Lishi, and he is like a friend even though he is a master and servant, but he will not be angry with him for this little thing, but he is interrupted by interest, and he is very bored.

Gao Lishi hurriedly said: "It's the right to ask to see, otherwise how dare the old slave disturb His Majesty Yaxing?" ”

When Li Longji heard the "right pick-up", he couldn't help but feel numb in his spine, and he felt like Taizong seeing Wei Zheng.

The person who took up this right-hand post was called Zhang Jiuling, a native of Qujiang, Shaozhou, born in a family of generations of eunuchs, young and talented, who knew the literature at the age of nine, and wrote a sensational article at the age of thirteen. Wu Zetian Chang'an ascended to the Jinshi and the first in the second year, and later served as a secretary, he had outstanding political achievements, but he was not transferred, and he had the idea of returning to his hometown. It just so happened that Li Longji was thirsty for talent, and he personally asked the people of the world, and Zhang Jiuling took the test to Mu Yiluke, and the countermeasures were excellent, and he was promoted to the right picker. Right pick-up literally means to pick up the omission of the emperor, that is, the official.

Since Emperor Taizong Li Shimin, the Tang Dynasty has given great power to the officials, and the official rank is not high, but he can meet the Son of Heaven anytime and anywhere, point out the mistakes of the Son of Heaven, and criticize them.

Zhang Jiuling is shrewd and not afraid of power, just like Wei Zheng in the past. And Li Longji has a cheerful temperament, although he has the demeanor of a bright gentleman, but he likes to have fun, he is good at music, and it is vulgar music, Zhang Jiuling pointed out to Li Longji more than once that he is not doing his job, so that he was stunned when he heard the words "right pick-up", and often sighed behind his back: self-inflicted, not to live.

Li Longji hurriedly handed the pipa in his hand to Gao Lishi and said: "Quick, hide it, let him see it, and tell the truth again." ”

Outside the hall, there was news that He Zhizhang and Zhang Jiuling wanted to see him.

Li Longji didn't hear it, and when he saw that Gao Lishi had hidden the pipa, he invited the two into the hall.

With one more He Zhizhang, Li Longji is much more down-to-earth. Zhang Jiuling is different from Wei Zheng in that he will not count him down in front of other officials, which is also the reason why he has always kept Zhang Jiuling, not every emperor is like Li Shimin, who can tolerate a courtier who can't get off the stage and throw his sleeves away.

"Two Aiqing, what are you going to see?"

Zhang Jiuling's square face, handsome and extraordinary, said: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister recommends a talent to Your Majesty." In addition to correcting the mistakes of the emperor, the right pick-up also has the obligation to recommend talents.

Li Longji's spirit was shocked, and now most of the civil and military corpses of the Manchu Dynasty are vegetarian, and some of the capable ones are mostly attracted by Princess Taiping and him, becoming the heart of the heart, and what is lacking is talent, so he hurriedly said: "Who does Aiqing recommend?" ”

"Pei Min of Huairou County, Youzhou!"

It turned out that He Zhizhang couldn't tell what the recruitment system was, so he asked his friend Zhang Jiuling. Zhang Jiuling is not only brilliant in writing, but also outstanding in politics. I don't know how Zhang Jiuling's knowledge of the government military system is corrupted, but on the basis of not having a new military system, rash changes will cause turmoil in the government soldiers. Therefore, even though Zhang Jiuling knew the key points, he did not take any measures.

Pei Min's recruitment system has won his taste, and after careful consideration, compared with the current situation in the Tang Dynasty, the recruitment system is promising.

On the first day of Zhang Jiuling's tenure as the "right-hand picker," he explained to Li Longji the importance of talent: He advocated attaching importance to the selection of local officials, correcting the trend of emphasizing internal officials over external ones, and emphasizing meritocracy rather than seniority in the selection of officials. This unexpectedly found that there was such a person, where could he sit still, and directly invited He Zhizhang to come to the palace as soon as he arrived.

"Pei Min? Sounds like a familiar name? Li Longji was a little impressed by this name.

Zhang Jiuling said: "It's the boy who killed the prince of the Xi clan half a year ago." ”

"It turned out to be him......" The fiasco of Sun Yan Youzhou shook the government and the opposition, Li Longji, as the prince at the time, naturally knew about it, and Pei Min led the people of Huairou County to annihilate more than 1,000 elite horsemen of the Xi tribe, and he also heard a little: "I remember that he is not very old, I don't know how to be virtuous, and he can enter Aiqing's eyes?" ”

Zhang Jiuling said cautiously: "Ambition is not in old age, talent is not young, Your Majesty does not hear that Ganluo is the twelfth prime minister of Qin, Huo Quai's seventeenth goes into battle to kill the enemy......"

Li Longji saw that Zhang Jiuling was about to make a tirade again, so he hurriedly said: "I understand the truth, but I don't know what Pei Min does?" ”

Zhang Jiuling asked He Zhizhang to speak. He Zhizhang explained in detail the process of getting acquainted with Pei Min and the tests he was subjected to, especially the description of the government military system and the introduction of the conscription system.

Li Longji got up in a moved face and shouted in a low voice: "Are these really what Pei Min said? ”

He Zhizhang said: "The minister doesn't dare to hide anything. ”

Li Longji took two steps back and forth with some excitement, the corruption of the government military system, as an emperor, how could he not know that he had discussed with his henchmen more than once about this matter, how to restore the government military system to its original state. However, the key to the government military system lies in the uniform field system, and if the uniform field system is not thoroughly implemented, the situation of the government military system cannot be improved.

Only Prime Minister Zhang Shuo proposed to abandon the military system and solve the problem of military resources by recruiting soldiers. But even if Zhang Shuo is talented, he only thinks about it and does not get the details.

Pei Min actually said that the recruitment was so complete, which is really amazing.

Zhang Shuo is the most powerful arm in his heart, an indispensable name in the future, so Pei Min is even farther than Zhang Shuo?
