For example: Tang Gaozong Yifeng wrote into a chapter in the second year, Yao Chong and the first (Kaiyuan name); Wu Zetian hung the arch in the first year of the resignation of the Wenyuan Branch, Zhang said and the first (Kaiyuan name); Wu Zetian Zhengsheng in the first year of the super-group group, He Zhizhang and the first (great poet); Tang Zhongzong Shenlong was only able to pass through Bangke in the first year,

Zhang Jiuling and the first (Kaiyuan Mingxiang, the great poet), the first year of Tang Xuanzong's first year, Dao Yi Lu Ke, Zhang Jiuling's second and first; Tang Xuanzong Kaiyuan 22 years erudite macro dictionaries, Wang Changling and the first (great poet); Tang Xuanzong Tianbao in the first year of the literary rhetoric Xiu Yike, Yan Zhenqing and the first (great calligrapher, the righteous man of the country); Tang Dezong Zhen Yuan eight years of erudition macro dictionaries, Pei Du and the first (Yuan and Mingxiang); Tang Dezong Zhen Yuan 12 years of erudition macro dictionaries,

Liu Zongyuan and the first (great writer, one of the eight masters of the Tang and Song dynasties); Tang Xianzong Yuanhe two years, both talented and mao, clear in the physical department, Bai Juyi and the first (great poet), Yuan Zhi and the first (great poet); Tang Wenzong Taihe was virtuous and upright in the second year, outspoken and extremely admonished, Du Mu and the first (great poet); Seeing these well-known names, I don't know how you feel, I was shocked, talents, those who can pass the guò system are talents.

If you want to say that not everyone who passes the guò system or the imperial examination is talented, I don't disagree, but at the same time, it cannot be said that they are all straw bales, because there are facts to prove it.

In today's society, everyone is scolding the college entrance examination, and while scolding the college entrance examination, we do not forget to scold the imperial examination system that no longer harms us, not to defend the imperial examination.

The imperial examination system, which has been implemented for more than 1,000 years, has indeed enabled poor students to turn over, devote themselves to the ruling class, and live a different life. There are no ideals, no goals, and their names will not be left in the history books. Then they're really just the size of a human being. And the actual one who has no one should put a big quotation mark "person".

There are some things that should be scolded. If you don't scold, you can't scold, let the world be sober; pass guò scolding, let the society progress; Tong guò scolded...... But at the same time, don't forget that those things have contributed to humanity and those who have benefited from it. refers to the former imperial examination, not the side!

On August 9, the ninth year of Zhenguan Wude, Li Shimin ascended the throne as emperor. In the second year (627), it was changed to Yuan Zhenguan. Li Shimin, Tang Taizong also! It opened the rule of Zhenguan, which was highly respected by future generations of historians, extremely desirable for future generations, and emulated by future generations of Emperor Renming.

"Frugality is not as good as filial piety, and meritorious deeds are too much." After the war at the end of the Sui Dynasty, the population was greatly reduced, the farmland was largely barren, the state finances were very difficult, and there were many factors of social instability, so they did not farm. If you don't have anything to eat, you will rob it in order to survive, and you have to ask why you don't farm the land. Because there was no land to plant, the social order at that time was very chaotic, and the officials had a headache, and later Li Yuan promulgated and implemented the uniform land system, and this problem was partially solved.

Although during the reign of Gaozu Li Yuan, some measures and policies were implemented to restore production, because the war of unification had not yet ended, and there was no unity within the ruling group (Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin fought for the throne), the situation in the country was not very stable. Therefore, although the policy has been implemented, the effect is not very good.

Wait until Li Shimin forces Li Yuan to retire. I took the stall with confidence, only to find that it was a mess. If you don't make money for a year, you have to lose a lot of money, Li Shimin really has a feeling of regret, he knew that he could let his father do it, and he would stop being a prince, if he wanted to pick up a girl, if he wanted to hunt, if he wanted to hunt, if he wanted to eat, if he wanted to eat, if he wanted to travel, he would travel, he was much more comfortable than being an emperor.

However, Comrade Li Shimin is still not ordinary, he has a high sense of responsibility and guilt (killing his brother), although he is very helpless about such a stall, but since he has taken over, he must do a good job and strive to turn losses into profits within three years, Li Shimin is a very ambitious young man (28 years old this year). …

Either don't do it, do it to the best, this is Li Shimin's motto, it is estimated that he also engraved this sentence on the table, read it when he is working, when he eats, and when he goes to the toilet, he constantly encourages himself, and he must not relax.

If you really analyze Li Shimin's heart, you will find that Li Shimin works diligently and has a relatively large selfishness, I don't know if you can guess it. Yes, that's right, just show his dad that I'm doing better than you.

Every son's initial dream is to surpass his father, perhaps because he has been "oppressed" for a long time, and when he grows up, it will naturally be like rebellion. At that time, Li Yuan was still alive, Li Shimin was obviously a provocative behavior, let you not make me the prince at the beginning, look at how good I am doing now, if Li Jiancheng is the emperor, can I do well? Li Yuan can only say, well, if you do well, you will not do better than what you do.

This sentence also has an implicit meaning, what is built is not necessarily worse than what you do. Although Li Yuan realized very clearly in his heart that Li Shimin was good at accepting advice, caring for the people, discerning talents, and appointing talents, which Li Jiancheng could not compare, Li Yuan was unwilling to say, nor could he say that a person who was already in his sixties, his rich life experience had already made him understand the truth of "when the water is full, it overflows", and he didn't want his son to start well and not end well.

At the beginning of Li Shimin's ascension to the throne, he promoted some of the capable ministers he thought were able to govern the world, although many of these people were subordinates of his Qin Wangfu and participated in the Xuanwumen Change, but they were promoted to the position of prime minister, and what was valued was not their merits, but their talents. Among them, Wei Zheng is a special case, he was originally a person from Li Jiancheng's East Palace (the prince washed horses).

Because of his ability to govern the country and being good at admonishment, he was reused by Li Shimin, so Wei Zheng did not expect that when he decided to be loyal to Li Shimin, the good story of monarchs and ministers in Chinese history, because of one of his decisions, reached its peak in the next ten years and will be praised for generations. Wei Zheng will become the protagonist of our narrative in the future, so I won't write much here.

I often think that the era of the Shengming monarch can always create a large number of virtuous ministers who have been famous for centuries, and famous generals who have been famous for thousands of years, because this is because the monarch can find talents and appoint talents. I don't understand it yet, but now I understand, men are talented. Not being valued and appointed, just like a woman who can't have a child is the same. It's very uncomfortable and depressing.

And it is often men who are more uncomfortable and depressed, women's pain is in the body, but men's pain is in the heart. Li Shimin and his ministers often pondered such questions. What is most important to ordinary people?

Answer: Eat. If you don't farm, you won't have anything to eat, so in order to let the people have something to eat. It was necessary to let the common people have land to plant, so Li Shimin readjusted the system of equalizing land, and where there was no land, and where there was less land and more people (narrow township), the government ordered that the people could freely move to a place where there were few people and few people (Kuanxiang), and thus solved the problem of land distribution. With the land, as long as the farmers are on time and on time, they work hard. You can have something to eat.

Suddenly, one day, Li Shimin wanted to build the palace, just in time for the busy farming season. The ministers wrote that if the palace is repaired now, it will not be conducive to the people farming, and it may affect the harvest, so Li Shimin ordered that the palace should not be repaired, and it will be repaired in winter, so that the people can farm with peace of mind.

The next day, someone else went to the book. Said, Majesty. Now the country is not rich, and the common people have no money. It costs a lot of money to repair the palace, and as soon as Li Shimin heard it, he understood, and immediately said, Okay, I won't repair it, and I won't repair it in winter, and I'll talk about it when the country has money in a few years. …

Li Shimin was playful and wanted to go hunting, Wei Zhengjin admonished, Your Majesty, now the crops are about to be harvested, if you are trampled by your horse's hooves, will the people still have food this year?

Li Shimin listened to Wei Zheng's reasoning, I won't go hunting, change to winter, you go back, by the way, come back, in order to encourage the ministers to have the courage to admonish, I will reward you with something, holding something, Wei Zheng went home, the ministers listened to the advice and there were benefits, and they didn't do anything at work, and they swarmed to find Li Shimin's fault, and the waiter finally found one, and the person next to him told him, you are late, Shangshu has already gone, and soon, I saw Shangshu coming out with gold, and the waiter was depressed. The hunting recorded during the Zhenguan period was in winter, during the slack season.

Li Shimin adheres to the principle of quietly raising the people, and considers the common people first in everything, the Turkic neighbor, always provoked trouble during the Wude period, when Li Shimin first ascended the throne, the Turkic Khan brought people to take the opportunity to get some benefits, Li Shimin was angry, and wanted to start a war with the Turks, and then thought about it, the country is not strong now, and the peasants have to be requisitioned to fight the war, and the peasants cannot farm, so they have no food, and the state has no money to help them, so they can't fight, and after a few years, let's talk about it.

Later, in the face of all kinds of provocations from the Turks, Li Shimin endured what he could and endured what he couldn't, and he knew that before the time for war, it was necessary to make the people rich first, so that the country could be strong, and only when the country was strong could it be invincible. In order to increase agricultural productivity, Li Shimin also encouraged the construction of water conservancy projects in various localities, and according to statistics, more than 20 water conservancy projects were built in the past 20 years of Zhenguan.

Li Shimin also set an example, in order to show that he attaches importance to agriculture, he personally ploughed the fields, attracting the common people to watch, the Son of Heaven is so hardworking, and suffers the same hardships as us, not to mention that we are nameless and nameless people, throw off our arms and do it.

Although it was a ceremony, it played a great role in the people, he also planted vegetables in the palace by himself, and when he was fine, he also hoeed weeds, and said to the minister: "I do it for a while, my back hurts, the people work every day, it must be very hard, you officials, you must understand the people's suffering." ”

Li Shimin encouraged childbearing, and in a country with agriculture as the main body, labor force is very important, and only when the population is large, can the number of labor force be large, and the country can be rich and strong. The later Kaiyuan Dynasty was the most populous era in the Tang Dynasty, and it was even more prosperous than the Zhenguan Dynasty. In addition to finishing his official duties, Li Shimin also considered the lifelong affairs of his people, the issue of marriage, and stipulated that 20 years old for men and 15 years old for women were the legal age for marriage.

It is also stipulated that widows and men who have lost their wives can fall in love freely after the expiration of the mourning period, and then get married, the conditions are very relaxed, and they don't even have to queue up to get a marriage certificate. In short, it is a sentence, the state encourages the birth of children, you can give birth, you can have as many as you can, it will only be too little, not too much.

Moreover, the number of widows and widows has decreased, and the number of widows and men who have lost their wives has been used as a criterion for evaluating officials. Demoted. Li Shimin knew that a person's thinking was always incomplete, and not all of them were right, and he could only accept the advice of the ministers. Only by consolidating collective opinions can the edicts issued be less erroneous. in order to make what you do less wrong.

When he was in court, he was always pleasant, afraid that if his face was unhappy, the ministers would not dare to give opinions, and he accepted the correct opinions, and he did not blame them in the face of opinions that did not match. Some officials are grinding and chirping, chirping crookedly, and they can't get to the point for a long time, and they don't get angry. …

He worked diligently, wrote the names of local officials on screens, and gave them grades from time to time, excellent promotions. Elimination of garbage. Li Shimin proved that he was a good emperor with his practical actions, and he surpassed his father with his practical actions.

After several years of arduous struggle, from the emperor to the ministers to the people to work hard. The gross national product of the Tang Empire has been rising, and the people's living standards have been continuously improving. The lesson of the fall of the Sui Dynasty, Li Shimin has always taken it as a warning, his process of becoming the emperor is the same as Yang Guang, he has always been diligent in government and loves the people, afraid that he will become the second Yang Guang, afraid of repeating Yang Guang's mistakes, and the shadow of killing his brother has always haunted his mind.

Midnight. Li Shimin woke up from a nightmare, just now he dreamed of Yang Guang before he died. He dreamed of Jiancheng and Yuanji before he died, and dreamed of Dou Jiande, whom he had defeated. Wang Shichong, they are all telling Li Shimin, you will become the second Yang Guang, the Tang Dynasty will be established in your hands, and it will also perish in your hands, you can't change it, this is fate. Li Shimin tried his best to argue with them, but they were lonely and couldn't argue with them, and their words kept lingering in Li Shimin's ears, and he was about to believe it.

Suddenly Li Shimin roared and woke up from the nightmare, no, it's not what you said, it's not what you say, I will definitely be a good emperor, big brother, can't I use a good emperor to forgive my sins? Why do you want to help outsiders harm me?

I swear, I will love the people, work hard, let the people live a good and prosperous life, the Tang Dynasty will be more prosperous in my hands, raise the prestige of the Tang Dynasty thousands of miles away, and praise the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty for thousands of years, I will be a good emperor, certainly, definitely.

I'll prove you're wrong, you're wrong, hahaha...... Then Li Shimin fell asleep with confidence, Yang Guang and the others still didn't intend to let him go, they came again, or repeated the previous words, Li Shimin just remembered to refute, and before he could speak, a group of people appeared in front of him, and the voices of this group of people drowned out the voices of Li Jiancheng and others. Li Shimin vaguely heard that what the group of people said seemed to be the oath he had just made.

Li Shimin wanted to take a closer look at these people and ask them why they came to help him, and when he got closer, Li Shimin found that these people were so familiar...... By the way, the one in military uniform is Li Jing, the scholar is dressed as Du Ruhui, the one covered in armor is Li Ji (Xu Maogong), the one holding the goose feather fan is Fang Xuanling, the one riding a tall horse is the eldest grandson Wuji, the chattering is Wei Zheng, and the one holding the spear is Wei Chi Jingde...... "Your Majesty, we will help you" "Good, good"

Famous minister, the first to recommend Fang Du, these two are the prime ministers of the Zhenguan period, Fang Xuanling, Du is Du Ruhui, the two are a group of excellent partners, Fang Xuanling is good at strategy, Du Ruhui has a decisive personality, is a master of clapping, and I will tell their stories below.

Let's talk about Du Ruhui first, Du Ruhui has not been the prime minister for a long time, and his partner Fang Xuanling is simply incomparable, Fang Xuanling has been the prime minister for twenty-two years, almost the same year as the entire Zhenguan period, Du Ruhui has been the prime minister for less than two years, this is not because he is not capable, but this buddy died too early, if you speculate according to his ability, as long as he is alive, the position of prime minister should always be sitting.

mentioned one thing about Du Ruhui before, that is, he was beaten by Yin Defei's father, Yin Arat, because Du Ruhui was from the Qin Mansion, and I wondered at that time, there were so many people in the Qin Mansion, why didn't he beat others, but beat Du Ruhui. And then I found the answer,

There is only one, Du Ruhui is a bit of a stinky fart, so good, high-spirited, high-spirited, often proud of his talent, very confident in himself, according to this character, it is not enough for Du Ruhui to offend Yin Arat. …

Du Ruhui passed by in front of Yin Arat's door, not only did he not get off the horse, but when he saw this kind of person who made a fortune through his daughter, the contempt in his heart gushed out like a fountain, and he couldn't stop it, and it was estimated that this buddy didn't want to stop either, so he spat casually to express his dissatisfaction, and stared at Yin Arat's eyes without blinking, which was obviously a provocative behavior, meaning like to say, what can you do to me, we are officials by ability, and we look down on people like you the most.

Du Ruhui's expression aroused Yin Arat's anger, which surprised Du Ruhui, Yin Arat, who had not read the book, was a bastard, and he didn't care about anything, he took this breath first, cut him, cut him to death, I have something to do, with Yin Arat's order, Du Ruhui was pulled off the horse, and paid a heavy price for his contempt.

After a "massage" for Du Ruhui, Yin Arat, who still felt angry, made up for Du Ruhui's ass again, kicked and scolded, "Boy, you dare to be arrogant with me again", and ordered the servant to "see him beat him once in the future," Yin Arat's departure was very majestic, Du Ruhui touched his buttocks, "Cut, what's the big deal, it seems that you can't ride a horse, let's go back." ”

I don't know if this unusual "massage" can make Du Ruhui change his previous style, I don't think it will play a role, this kind of person has one thing in common, he is proud of his talent, only if his talent is gone, he can converge, but this seems to be the same as money may be lost, the house may not be, only what he has learned is his own.

Du Ruhui, Zi Keming, Jingzhao Duling people, like to read books on literature and history, this buddy is a character that has been cultivated since childhood, and it is not counted in his mind after reading, he has to say it, he likes to brag with others, see if you don't know, I know, what you said is not right, I will tell you the truth of the facts, the reason why Xiang Yu was defeated by Liu Bang is like this......

In fact, everyone thinks so, but it sent a wrong signal to Du Ruhui, everyone likes to listen to me tell stories, very proud, very proud, I am well-versed in the past and the present, and Confucius's lectures are nothing more than that, at first it was to tell stories, and then it began to criticize people, and finally it became a personal attack, self-confidence became more and more explosive, and the words spoken became more and more boundless.

Suddenly, one day, the sky darkened, and the mother said, "It's going to rain," and the son said, "No, it was Du Ruhui who blew it," and the mother was puzzled, and the son explained with a smile, "Du Ruhui blew the cow into the sky and covered the sun, so the sky became dark." (To be continued)
