After listening to Suifeng's words, Xuanzong was stunned. He originally thought that even if Sui Feng was a man of the Tao and would not ask for some worldly things, it was still very possible to ask for privileges or some heavenly treasures. But who would have thought that Suifeng not only didn't ask for anything, but also recommended talents to himself.

At this moment, it is the time to employ people, and Suifeng's strength is here, and if he can withstand his recommendation, this person must be very remarkable, and Xuanzong will naturally not refuse. Immediately looked at Sui Feng with a smile and said: "I don't know who Qing wants to recommend, you might as well say it and listen to it, presumably the people recommended by the Qing family are all people with real talent and learning." In such a troubled world, it can play a role. ”

He responded with the wind and groaned, as if planning his next words. After a pause, he said, "Yes, the person I want to recommend is indeed very useful." Even if it is used properly, it should have immortal power on the battlefield, because he may not necessarily turn the whole tide of the battle. Now that the rebels are in full swing, it is precisely the need for the birth of a general. General Ge Shuhan, who sang with An Lushan, had already been defeated and captured, and who could be of great use if he looked at the entire imperial court? Therefore, now he can only rely on the previous method of inspection. ”

The method of inspection was the official appointment system in the Han Dynasty, and because there was no imperial examination at that time, it was impossible to distinguish talents. That's why I came up with this method of inspection. The so-called method of probation means that each township is used as a unit to recommend virtuous and talented people to the superiors in turn. In the end, the central government will make unified arrangements and appoint and dismiss official positions.

The reason why the Han Dynasty is strong and prosperous is that this method of inspection has played a great role in it. Until later, when it came to the Wei and Jin dynasties. The probation law was abolished and replaced with a nine-rank zhongzheng system based on the election of officials according to the family. Far from being able to select talents, this law is very likely to breed extravagance and corruption. It is precisely because of this that the Han nation, which has been strong for more than a thousand years, weakened rapidly, and there was the later Wuhu chaos and a hundred years of chaos.

Listening to it, Xuanzong's eyes also lit up. For the history involved, Xuanzong naturally knows everything and knows everything. The more I listened, the more I felt that what he said was very reasonable, and the meaning of Suifeng's words was very simple. It is a hidden attack on Xuanzong, and at this time it is a troubled time, and it is impossible to open a department. It may be advisable to re-introduce the probation. Talents are recommended from all over the country. For the central government, it may or may not be more appropriate.

Seeing Xuanzong's face with joy, Sui Feng agreed with what he said, and said: "The person recommended below is the head of the Penglai faction - the person who left the sun. His common name is Guo Ziyi. Before becoming a monk, he served as the chief of the left guard and the deputy protector of the Shan Yu Metropolitan Protectorate. This man has been a monk for many years. It's not just profound. He knows everything about strategizing. Now that I have a few generals in the Tang Dynasty, I lack such talents the most, and I don't need any rewards from Your Majesty. At this time, the country is in turmoil, and it is reasonable to give priority to the affairs of the world. ”

"Okay, Zhun Gong! I also asked Qing to immediately repair a letter and invite this person to come to Chang'an to face the saint. I am ashamed to say that if it is really as Qing said, I am really ashamed that there was such a talented person in the army who was not noticed by me. Xuanzong sighed lightly, and he didn't know what he thought, and his words were full of emotion.

After all, Xuanzong at this moment is already an old man who is over the age of old, and he has already gone through most of the long road of life, and when he is old, it is inevitable that he will not leave some mistakes, and it is naturally impossible to be as decisive and crisp as when he was a teenager. Under his governance, the Tang Dynasty recovered from the Shen Ke left by Wu Zhou before, and the national strength was prosperous and prosperous. Such an achievement is rare in the ages.

Sui Feng couldn't help but persuade: "Your Majesty, don't think too much, there is no other meaning in recommending this person below." This person is now a pedantic man, and he may not have been sharp before. And it has been in the border place for a long time, and it is normal for His Majesty to be in Chang'an and not be aware of it. ”

As soon as he said this, Xuanzong's face recovered a lot.

He took a long breath and was about to say something when he heard a loud cry coming from outside the dormitory.

"Report!"

Before the cry had fallen, he heard the sound of hurried footsteps approaching, and when he reached the outside of the temple, he knelt down.

"The front line has reported that the rebel army of 150,000 has set off from Tongguan and marched towards Chang'an! Please give your Majesty an order!" The short voice of the voice sounded from outside the hall.

"What!" With the wind shocked, Tongguan had just fallen, and the rebels had not even gained a foothold before they sent troops to attack, which was inevitably too bold. But when I think about it, the soldiers are very fast, and maybe the rebels have other plans.

When Xuanzong heard the news, his face changed, but he didn't respond immediately, but instead looked at Sui Feng and asked, "I don't know what Qing thinks about this matter?"

Sui Feng had already made up his mind and didn't want to think about it, so he said directly: "This Chang'an is an important place in the national capital, so naturally there is no room for loss." However, the rebels are powerful, especially His Majesty, who is not suitable for risk. Now there are more than 100,000 soldiers and horses left in Chang'an City, plus the army of King Qin from all walks of life, it may not be impossible to stop the rebels. His Majesty has ordered his courtiers to fight bloodily, but just in case, His Majesty still plans to travel, once the situation is not right, His Majesty can take the forbidden army to take the first step, and the rest of the officers and troops will be cut off for His Majesty. ”

Xuanzong frowned, thought for a long time, and seemed to be unable to find a better way, sighed lightly, and said: "Pass the order, let the army swear to prepare for war, and defend Chang'an to the death!"

Then, after the messenger retreated, Xuanzong seemed to have aged a lot, and even the dragon qi injected with the wind could not hide the vicissitudes of life on his body.

"Someone, call General Gao, I have something to tell him. ”

After saying this, Xuanzong turned around and said to Sui Feng: "Today, it is because of my improper use of people that I have fallen into chaos, and I should bear all the responsibility for all these crimes." Now that the rebels have arrived, they want me to flee first, leaving you courtiers to fight behind, I am really incompetent, incompetent!"

Sui Feng said with relief: "Your Majesty, don't be anxious, but now it has not reached the point where the mountains and rivers are exhausted, Your Majesty is the king of the world, how can he be persecuted by the gangsters? ”

Xuanzong had no other way, so he could only nod slightly.

Sui Feng simply turned around decisively and walked towards the general's mansion outside the palace, he broke into the palace at night this time because he was instructed by Gao Lishi, so he naturally had to go to the general's mansion to explain the situation first.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that as soon as he arrived at the door of the General's Mansion, someone greeted him.

General Gao has been waiting for you in the study for a long time, please take a step. ”

Sui Feng nodded, and followed the waiter in front of him towards the mansion. After a round and turn, they came to a remote hut.

Although this cottage may seem a little remote, it is also very delicate from the outside. The pen is splashed with ink, with a strong smell of books.

"This is the study, and General Gao is in it. Your Excellency, go straight in. ”

Nodding with the wind, he walked to the door.

Just as he was about to knock on the door, he heard it say:

"Is it a hero outside, please come in. "It's not loud, it's gentle and approachable, and I can't hear the slightest arrogance.

Sui Feng also heard that this was the voice of Gao Lishi, and immediately gently pushed the door open and walked in.

Sure enough, Colliers was sitting behind his boxy desk, looking at himself expectantly.

"With the hero, I don't know how you went to visit the palace at night this time, but it went well?"

Sui Feng smiled faintly, waved his hand and said, "Fortunately, I have already seen Your Majesty and woken him up from his coma." Now that Your Majesty and the concubine have something important to discuss, I will come back first. ”

"Good! Your Majesty is indeed seriously ill, so that Your Majesty will regain his consciousness and will be able to take charge of the government again. The days of the treacherous minister Yang Guozhong turning the clouds and rain are over!" Gao Lishi shouted, clapping his hands. The eyebrows are flying, and the joy on his face can be seen by anyone.

Standing aside and watching quietly, he watched quietly for a long time before he spoke: "Your Majesty's dragon body is naturally worth celebrating, but there is another thing to worry about right now, and I think General Gao needs to know." ”

"What's the matter?" Gao Lishi was stunned for a moment, and when he heard Suifeng say this, he immediately felt that something was wrong. (To be continued......)
