The first big man is called Li Delin.

Li Delin (530-590), the character Gongfu, was a native of Boling Anping.

This person has been called a prodigy since he was a child, but this prodigy is different from the other prodigy, because he can cite examples: it is said that when he was less than ten years old, he read "Shu Du Fu", which was written by Zuo Si, and was known for his long articles and difficult words.

This person was a man of the hour in the Northern Qi State at that time, a relative of the emperor, and a high position, and Sun Teng, Sima Ziru, Gao Yue, Gao Longzhi, and called the four nobles in Yezhong. He is also the Minister and Chief Engineer of the Ministry of Construction, the Ministry of Machinery Industry, and the Ordnance Industry, and an outstanding figure in science and engineering.

He presided over the construction of Yecheng in Kyoto, and also engaged in large-scale steel smelting in the country, made iron weapons for the army, and was the father of the smelting industry in the history of China's scientific and technological development (such talents were rare at that time).

Engaged in science, I have seen such a genius in liberal arts, and I can't help but say when I meet people, this kid, in a few years, will definitely become a person who the world relies on and is worthy of great responsibilities.

According to this celebrity, the people in Kyoto in Yecheng went to his house to see the strangeness, and the traffic and horses were endless every day, and the crowds were overcrowded for more than a month.

And when he was fifteen years old, he could read thousands of words a day by reading the Four Books and the Five Classics, and he could never forget them. In this way, it won't be long before he is about to finish reading the book of the world.

In addition, Li Shentong passed filial piety in the Northern Qi Dynasty, that is, he was the double champion of the national college entrance examination and the civil service examination.

At the age of sixteen, he was known for his filial piety.

This test of filial piety and honesty is the examination established by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the so-called inspection is by the magistrate in the jurisdiction at any time to inspect, find talents to recommend, after the assessment and then appoint officials.

The standard of filial piety is "filial piety to the elders, honesty and integrity", although it is somewhat vague, but it is basically equivalent to what we now call moral and intellectual education. Filial piety is recommended by the county, that is, the area between the province and the county.

This Li prodigy was indeed selected for filial piety because of the touching deeds of filial piety.

When he was sixteen years old, his father died, and he drove a hearse back to his hometown for burial. At that time, it was a harsh winter, wearing thin mourning clothes and bare feet, and people along the way were very admiring when they saw it.

There is a man named Cui Chen, who is a wealthy family in Boling, and is the brother of the servant, who is the director of the general office of the central government. And this Cui Chen, who returned to his hometown on vacation at that time, followed a lot of people along the way, and the honor guard was grand, but there was a holy decree to let him represent the government and go to Li Delin to mourn.

Hearing the news, the people who followed him only walked more than ten miles, and the original dozens of horses were a lot less, and when they arrived at Li Delin's house, there were only five horses left. It can be seen that his family is very poor, so this situation will occur.

Li Shentong has been keeping filial piety for his father at home for a long time, and his mother is sick, so he doesn't have the heart to think about officialdom, but just concentrates on studying a lot of historical classics. Later, when his mother's illness improved, the court asked him to return to become an official.

It seems that this official did not become an official immediately, but Dingzhou (now Dingzhou City, Hebei Province) assassinated Shi Wang Xiang, valued his talent, and summoned him to the provincial CPPCC.

Although they are not officials, the two get along day and night, travel together, like teachers and friends, and do not pay attention to the etiquette between officials and people.

This Wang Yu often said to Li Shentong: I heard people often say that those who deceive the virtuous should be killed, and now you have been delayed for a long time at my time, although I have benefited a lot from getting along with you, but in this case, I am not willing to delay it for too long, I strongly recommend you, if someone in the court deliberately makes it difficult, he will also be afraid of the condemnation of the gods.

These words show that Li Shentong went home to fulfill his filial piety, and he interrupted his career for a while, and he couldn't catch up for a while. But meeting Wang Xiang, like meeting Gao Longzhi at the beginning, played a key role in his personal future.

It was precisely because of Wang Xiang's recommendation that this Li prodigy was also in the eighth year of Tianbao in the Northern Qi Dynasty (558 AD) and won the show.

To test Xiucai, you need to be recommended. Not everyone can take the test, but it does.

At that time, there was only a provincial examination, and the content was the same as the later imperial examination, which was a written examination, which was combined with recommendation, which was called tribute, and later called the imperial examination. And this Xiucai is different from the Xiucai that was later said, the exam is passed, and the emperor has to interview in person, so the Xiucai is hand-picked.

In filial piety and talent, it is called Zhongxiu filial piety.

Later, this system became a great initiative with Chinese characteristics in the Great Sui Empire and the predecessor of the imperial examination system.

And this Li prodigy, not only is he the leader of mainstream culture, he has both ability and political integrity, and he is a double champion, but he is also well versed in yin and yang gossip, I Ching and feng shui and other strange theories, and he is a person who reads books randomly.

But when writing an article, it is concise and reasonable, and it achieves the effect of crying ghosts and gods that are earth-shattering. "Three Talents of the Northland" Wei Shui saw it, amazed, and said to Gao Longzhi, this humanistic pen should eventually succeed Wen Zisheng, Gao Longzhi smiled after hearing it, you Wei Changshi is usually jealous of meritocracy, and now there is such a person who is equivalent to Lao Peng in the world, why ask Wen Zisheng in the distance?

Wen Zisheng is also one of the "Three Talents of the Northland", but comparing Li Shentong to Lao Tzu and Peng Zu is indeed a bit "sensational", which shows how good Gao Longzhi's beautiful words are.

Therefore, this Li prodigy's official career was quite smooth later, although he temporarily abandoned his official position because of his mother's death and went home for funeral, and later reinstated his official position. When he was in the Northern Qi Dynasty, he became a Zhisan Cavalry Squire, equivalent to the position of vice premier and director of the State Secrets Bureau.

After Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty destroyed Qi, Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty sent Xiao Sima Tang Daohe, that is, the deputy minister of defense, to Li Qiangren's residence to proclaim: Now that I have destroyed the State of Qi, it is not harmful to you personally, on the contrary, it is a good thing, I am still afraid that you will go with Qi Wangdong, and now I know that you are still there, I am very happy, please come to the court to see me.

This Tang Daohe brought Li Qiangren here, and there was an internal history character Wen Ang, who came to greet him, and Emperor Wu of Zhou personally received him, and consulted Li about the customs, politics and religion of the Qi Dynasty, and the good and evil of the characters. The words were very speculative, so he left Li Qiangren in the palace for three days and three nights before letting him go home.

Later, Li Qiangren followed Emperor Wu of Zhou, returned to Chang'an, and was awarded the rank of internal historian.

Neishi is the highest official in the local area sent by the central government, and the rank of sergeant is after the doctor, that is, the level of deputy department and bureau.

Since then, the drafting of Emperor Wu of Zhou's holy edict, as well as the use of talents from Shandong, have been entrusted to this Li Qiangren.

For this reason, Emperor Wu of Zhou said to his ministers in Xianbei in Yunyang Palace, I used to hear about this Li Delin's reputation, and later when I saw the edict written by his Wu Qi Dynasty, I was amazed that he should be a heavenly man. I didn't expect that this person could be driven by me today and write paperwork for me, which is really strange.

Naturally, there were flattering words on the side, and Shenwu Gong Douling Yi hurriedly said: Dafan Holy Lord, getting the Qiqi Phoenix, they came to vote automatically because they were moved by the holy virtue, and they didn't want to get it. However, sometimes even if you get this kind of material, you can't use it. Now this Li Delin is here, and he can be driven by you, which is caused by the inspiration of His Majesty's holy virtue, and he can use this great talent, and he is omnipotent, and he wants to be better than the phoenix.

Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty then laughed and said: You are right. Therefore, at the end of the Xuanzheng year, he was awarded the title of Cheng'an County Male, that is, the deputy director of the General Office of the Central Committee, and in the early years of the elephant, he was awarded the title of Cheng'an County Male, that is, he was named the Baron of An'an County.

The above is the personal profile of this big man.

After Yang Jian took power, he chose to rely on this Li Qiangren, as the core figure among the hundred officials, like catching the leader, so that the sheep behind him would follow.

Therefore, at the beginning of Yang Jian's personal dictatorship, at the beginning, he sent Yang Hui, the Duke of Hanguo, to find Li Delin.

Hanguo, within the scope of today's Yangzhou city.

And Yang Hui, also known as Yang Xiong, is the son of Yang Jian, that is, the son of a brother of the same clan.

Yang Hui is the general manager of Bi Wang Yu Wenxian's subordination, Yu Wenxian has a conspiracy, he revealed one or two to Yang Jian, but he is silent for the time being.

Therefore, Yang Jian regarded this person as a close confidant.

Yang Hui found Li Delin and said to him: Yang Zhuguo (who was not yet the prime minister at that time) has actually taken over the military and political power of the imperial court, but the responsibility of governing the country is heavy, and it is difficult to achieve great things without the assistance of a virtuous person like you, so if you want you to conspire with Yang Chengxiang to conspire with each other, you must not refuse.

Although these words are a bit forceful, they contain full understanding and trust, and they can very impressive literati like Li Delin.

Li Delin didn't seem to hesitate too much, and his face was happy, which should be the literati's anger at all kinds of bad things. He immediately said, although I am not talented, but I have sincerity, if I get Yang Zhuguo's support, I will never give up.

Yang Jian was very happy when he heard Yang Hui's words. At this time, it was after his dictatorship that he was also considering how to arrange personnel, and he was still a little hesitant to decide on some important things, but now with Li Delin's reply, he solved the problem of a very important part of his thinking.

Here I have to mention Liu Fang and Zheng Yi again.

On the surface, it was they who tried their best to promote Pu Liurujian, make him prime minister, and sit in a position of power in the world.

And they do this without any doubt to make some gains.

That is, as we said earlier, Liu Fangkai and Zheng shareholders demolished the house of the Yuwen family, although it is impossible to build a new house by themselves, because there is not so much capital, but to help others build a house, it will make more profits.

This Zheng Yi wanted to be the Great Sima, that is, the chairman of the Military Commission and the president of the Supreme Court, and Liu Fangkai asked to be the deputy prime minister.

For this reason, and Yang Jian actually implied that he should not be the prime minister, the throne of the future emperor could not sit still, and such a major event, of course, should be asked about this big man in the court. So before he became prime minister, he actually asked Li Delin's opinion: What do you think I should do?

Li Delin said: You should serve as the prime minister, the fake Huang Yue, and the governor of the Chinese and foreign military. If you don't, you won't be able to convince the people.

It is the same as what Liu Fangkai and Zheng said, but this word came out of Li Delin, and the meaning and effect were different.

Pu Liurujian is not so simple, he can't just listen to the words of traitors like Liu Fangkai and Zheng Shareholders, he has to listen to the truth of the ministers of the court, that is, he has heard the hearts of the people of the world, and this Li Delin is the leader of the ministers of the court, and he is a scholar, and there is a so-called saying that the heart of a scholar is the conscience of the world, which is exactly the case.

Therefore, Li Delin's words played a key role in Yang Jian.

Regarding this point, it is impossible for Liu and Zheng to know the specific details, but from Yang Jian's attitude towards Li Delin, they figured out that it was this person who stole their limelight.

To be specific, what they want is huge profits, so the asking price is too high.

Yang Jian became the prime minister, and only appointed Zheng Shareholder as the prime minister, that is, the director of the General Office of the State Council, while Liu Fangkai only became the prime minister's Sima, that is, the minister of defense.

However, Li Delin was appointed as the deputy prime minister, and the treatment was equivalent to that of a general.

It is understandable that these two men are unhappy because of this.

But it is understandable that he is jealous of Li Delin because of this.

Liu Fangkai and Zheng shareholders later found that their original real estate development plan was difficult to fully realize, but it was because of another thing.

This incident was caused by Li Xun, the chief of staff of Wei Xiaokuan, the commander-in-chief of Wei Chi's army, who secretly reported an incident to Prime Minister Yang at this time.

This Li Xun is the son of Li Xian, the brother of Li Mu, who gave Yang Jian the thirteen rings of gold belt, this person is very upright, he is "deep and strategic", although he was born in martial arts, and he is not confused in politics, he is not the kind of person who speaks ill of others at every turn.

However, he told Yang Jian that the three overseers sent to the army of Wei Chi Hui under the order of Yang Cheng, Liang Shiyan, Yu Wenxin and Cui Hongdu, had received Wei Chi Yuan's salary, and this matter spread in the army and caused a riot in the army.

When Yang Jian heard this, he was very worried, so he discussed with Zheng Yi, the doctor in the internal history, to plan whether to replace him. Shareholder Zheng is not good at military affairs, depending on the meaning of the boss, if he wants to change, then he should be changed.

Yang Jian found that it was useless to consult with such a person, so he found Li Delin again, but he didn't expect that what this big man said was very different.

This is to say:

In the past, you Yang Cheng, like all the ministers, were all important ministers of the state, no one was worse than the other, no one served anyone, and now you are only using the authority of the Son of Heaven to control them, in this case, if you suspect that the person sent before you does not do what you want, then how can you know that the person sent later can understand and do what you want?

And now it is difficult to distinguish whether it is true or false that Liang Shiyan and the other three people received the salary of Wei Chi, and if they are replaced at this time, the person who is replaced will inevitably run away in fear; If they are detained, then everyone from Yun Gong Wei Xiaokuan down to fear suspicion will be afraid.

Besides, the enemy is easy to general, such as the famous general Le Yi of the Warring States Period, because King Yan Hui fell for the anti-plot of Tian Dan, the general of Qi, listened to the rumors, and sent a cavalry robber as a general to Qi to replace Le Yi, so that Le Yi resigned from Yan and returned to Zhao, refused to return to Yan and went west to Zhao.

King Hui of Zhao saw that Le Yi returned to Zhao, so he resigned from Yan, and Zhao Huiwen in the Qin State counterplotted and appointed Zhao Kuo, the son of Zhao Hao, to replace the veteran Lian Po in the Battle of Changping, resulting in a great defeat, and 400,000 Zhao soldiers were buried alive.

Such a lesson should be learned. Now, in my humble opinion, you can send one of your henchmen, and you must be resourceful, and you must be a person who is trusted by the generals, and rush to the army as soon as possible, so that he can investigate the truth of the matter, even if Liang Shiyan and others have bad intentions, they will not dare to act rashly, even if they act rashly, they can also prevent it in time.

These words are converted from the original version, which is a bit long, but the original words are long enough, because books such as "General Dictionary" include Li Delin's preaching as a classic example of "easy to fight" as a classic example of taboo, so we dare not add and delete it indiscriminately, and even add annotations to the allusions. Of course, we can't bear to add and delete indiscriminately, because there are indeed some wonderful.
