Chapter 136: Saving the Prime Minister, Yao Chong
After watching Kou Zhun's video inventory, Li Shimin sighed with regret and said, "If such a talent is placed in my Tang Dynasty, he will definitely be able to achieve some feats. It's just a pity that he was born in the wrong era. β
"If you are framed by someone and you don't get a good end, the talented civil and military generals will be jealous, and Kou Zhun has not escaped such a fate." Zhao Ji said very regretfully.
Since being beaten by Zhao Kuangyin to "open his mind", coupled with the "discovery" of many talents from the "later Zhao Gou", his attitude towards the outside world has gradually become tougher.
However, Zhao Gou is worthy of Zhao Gou, and his thoughts are still similar to those of most people in the Song Dynasty management class, "Kou Xiang's achievements are obvious to all, but Kou Xiang's external strategy is too radical, and I don't agree with it." β
At this time, Kou Zhun himself, who had never spoken, just silently looked at his video, and finally spoke after a long sigh, "The old man can get such an evaluation, and he is dumbfounded." β
Kou Zhun was still relatively bleak in his later years, not only was he demoted to the frontier and died in a foreign country, but in the end, even the bones waited for ten years before he was able to return to his roots and be buried in his hometown.
"The most hateful thing is that I failed to insist on resisting Liao back then and signed this shameful Tanyuan Alliance." But Kou Zhun still cares about his family and country, and even after his death, he still thinks about the original Tanyuan Alliance, which may have already become a heart disease in his life.
Kou Zhun's deeds made many people in the parallel space sigh, and also made many heroes and literati who cherished their family and country feel sorry for him.
Amid the discussion of everyone, the next video soon started again.
[Hello everyone, welcome to this short video: Inventory of the top ten famous photos in history! ] γ
[The eighth of the top ten famous ministers in history: Yao Chong, the prime minister of the salvation period. γ
[Maker: Su Qian]
After Li Longji saw the title, he immediately shouted excitedly: "Ha! It's Yao Chong! It's Yao Chong, my prime minister!! β
"During Li Longji's reign, the only prime minister who was okay should be Yao Chong.
As for Song Jing, who is always as famous as Yao Chong, in our opinion, but with a policy of 'not rewarding side work', he should be pulled out and cut down! Zhu Yuanzhang seems to have a lot of criticism about Li Jinglong's prime ministers.
[Yao Chong's real name is Yuan Chong, a famous minister of the Tang Dynasty, a famous politician, and the son of Yao Yi, the governor of Wangzhou.
Yao Chongli went through the five dynasties of Gaozong, Wu Zetian, Zhongzong, Ruizong, and Xuanzong, and served as prime minister three times, and died in the ninth year of Xuanzong's Kaiyuan at the age of 72. γ
In the parallel world, many officials couldn't help but admire,
"Awesome! After five dynasties and three prime ministers, this person can be called an officialdom tumbler! β
"Let's not talk about his political achievements, just looking at the fact that he can mix in officialdom for decades, and he can still get a good death in a high position, it can show that he is a very powerful politician."
"This person can be called a model of officialdom for my generation, and I need to learn more from him!"
[Yao Chong entered the prime minister three times in his life, and he made great achievements during his three times as prime minister.
Especially when Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty was prime minister in the early years of the first century, he proposed various reform measures in view of the shortcomings that had appeared in the government since Wu Zetian and the shortcomings of the times.
Among them, the economic reform proposed by Yao Chong, combined with his rectification of the rule of officials, military and government, and culture, played a very positive role in the emergence of the "prosperous era of the new century". γ
[Yao Chong lost his father at an early age, and depended on his mother for his life, and when he was young, he didn't like to go to school and liked hunting.
When he was just an adult, he didn't even read much.
So why did Yao Chong later change from a profligate hawk dog gangster to a big politician who concentrated on learning and achieved success?
There are two ways to say this.
The first is to say that it is because he has met a person who is good at getting along.
The man said to Yao Chong: "The public is very noble, and he will be the prime minister on another day." β
When Yao Chong heard this, he went home and told his mother, who persuaded him to study.
So, Yao Chong let go of all the eagles and harriers he used for hunting, and concentrated on reading in order to be motivated.
The second theory is: One day, Yao Chong went to visit relatives and saw a book called "Xiuwen Palace Yulan".
This book was compiled by the people of the Northern Qi Dynasty at that time, and after Yao Chong flipped through a few pages, he liked it, and since then he has been diving into the pile of books.
Whatever the cause, Yao Chong did not like to study until he was an adult, and later he was also known for his literary talent. γ
[Yao Chong went through five dynasties, and at the beginning he was born during the reign of Tang Gaozong and Li Zhi.
However, Yao Chong himself was not very famous at that time, when Tang Gaozong Li Zhi was alive, Yao Chong was not famous, and it was not until Empress Wu Zetian came to power that Yao Chong gradually began to emerge. γ
[Long live the first year of Tongtian (696 years of the park), the Khitan invaded Hebei, and Wu Zetian asked the courtiers to write a letter and propose a coping strategy.
After reading the book of the ministers, Wu Zetian suddenly discovered Yao Chong's talent and political talent, so he made an exception to promote Yao Chong to the Xia official squire, and Yao Chong has since become an important minister of the imperial court. γ
[Politically, Yao Chong dared to take responsibility, and he was deeply loved by Wu Zetian.
Yao Chong once pointed out sharply: "The reuse of cool officials to kill innocents is worse than the Han Party." β
Far from being angry at Yao Chong's criticism of her, Wu Zetian finally accelerated the process of ending the politics of cool officials.
In October of the first year of the holy calendar, Yao Chong was appointed as the prime minister by Wu Zetian, and it took less than two years to become the prime minister from the Langguan of Wupin, which is the rising speed that many people dream of and desire. γ
[Yao Chong helped Wu Zetian calm down all kinds of civil strife, so he was named prime minister by Wu Zetian. But Yao Chong found a problem, although Wu Zetian was eloquent and strategic, he wanted to usurp the Tang Dynasty.
Yao Chong was a Jinshi of the Tang Dynasty, believing in the idea of loyalty and patriotism, so naturally he did not want this situation to occur.
He thinks this Wu Zetian wants to do something!
This country is Li Tang's country, if you continue to play like this, you won't want to change the dynasty, right?
However, the fact is just as Yao Chong thought, Wu Zetian changed the name of the country to Da Zhou and became the emperor himself. γ
[Wu Zetian became the emperor, so the relationship between Yao Chong and Wu Zetian became more awkward.
Although the masters have not changed, they are all Wu Zetian, but the problem is that he Yao Chong has always been interested in the Li Tang Dynasty, and now that the emperor has changed to a foreign surname, and the country name has become Zhou, how can Yao Chong not be embarrassed? γ
[So, Yao Chong secretly gathered and discussed with some old ministers of the Li Tang Dynasty at night.
They did this for only one purpose, and that was how to save the Li Tang Dynasty. β
Wu Zetian probably has nothing to say when he is called the emperor, after all, he is also a generation of heroes.
But to whom she will pass the throne later, this becomes a big question.
If it is passed on to his son, after all, it is also the royal blood of the Li family, then it is easy to say.
But if she passed it on to her nephew, then Li Tangke would really be finished. γ
[Therefore, a group of ministers led by Yao Chong are closely watching Wu Zetian's every move.
But it is definitely not easy to do underground work under Wu Zetian's nose, once he is caught, it will be a big crime to kill his head, so Yao Chong took the initiative to apply for an external transfer.
However, before Yao Chong's external transfer, he recommended one person to Wu Zetian, that is, the famous minister Zhang Cambodia.
We all know that Zhang Cambodia was an important contributor to the coup d'Γ©tat to overthrow the Wuzhou Dynasty, so Yao Chong has immortal merit and reinvention grace for the Li Tang Dynasty. γ
