Chapter 22 Chapter Twenty-Two

Yao Chong was not calm on the bed, because his health was very poor, and it was so bad that he would die. Yao Chong called his sons, analyzed Zhang with them, and said, "Prime Minister Zhang is at odds with me, and you all know that...don't tell me you don't know. Now that I'm leaving, just At this time, he returned to Chang'an. Given the grievances between us, he will definitely not let you go. And you are like this, it is inevitable that people will miss you. Look at your worthless appearance! Listen, think about it Live, you must follow my plan. "At any rate, I'm also the chancellor, and I've worked with him for many years. I know he likes rare things, and our family doesn't lack them. After I die, you put all your valuables in front of the hall, and post them specifically for him. Wait for him to come Come to our hall, if you don’t even look at it, you should quickly prepare a coffin for yourself. If he reads it and still plays with it in your hand, you should greet him with a smile on your face, and don’t think that your father is dead. Acting sad or something. You gave him all the jade treasures, saying that it was a small amount of money for inviting his old man to write an inscription for me.

"Remember, you have to prepare a blank stele in advance, and when he finishes writing the form for me, he will immediately copy a copy for me. After copying, send it to the imperial court immediately, and give it to the emperor for review. The emperor read it Praise our friendship, and you will keep it. As for the copy that has been copied, quickly engrave it on it without any delay! After the emperor has finished praising us, you can also add the emperor's words! "If the old man turns back and says that his article is not well written and wants to go back and revise his paper, you will say that the article has been engraved and reported to the emperor.

"Children, do you hear me clearly? Keep it in my mind. The happiness of our family is due to what you did in the few days after my death. After the emperor has finished complimenting him, no matter how capable he is, he will still be happy." There is no way to count us." Yao Chong's sons cried and agreed with tears in their eyes. On the third day of September in the ninth year of Kaiyuan (AD 721), Yao Chongxie, an outstanding politician of the Tang Dynasty, was seventy-one years old. The funeral was grand, and Comrade Zhang Shuo came to mourn. After pretending to cry sadly, he was invited aside by Yao Chong's sons and said some words of comfort.

Just as he was about to withdraw, Zhang Shuo suddenly caught a glimpse of a row of utensils placed in the hall.People can clearly see that the gray eyes of Comrade Zhang Shuo, who was originally gloomy and slightly sad, suddenly brightened.He stood there, approached the device to play, and played with it when he touched it. After a couple of conversations, I didn't expect that the children of Yao's family would give these things to Zhang Shuo.Zhang said he was overjoyed, but he dared not accept it.Yao Chong's son begged him to write an essay again, and Zhang said that he agreed, and ran out with the jade, as if he had gotten a lot of money.

Zhang said that he was very proud, and he wrote an article praising Comrade Yao Chong when he got home, and sent it to Yao's mansion.The content is nothing more than to praise Teacher Yao for his high morals and prestige, and he is one of the eight pillars of Datang. All our employees cherish the memory of his old man. As soon as the article was sent to Yao's mansion, it was copied and carved into a stone tablet, and the original copy was in Li Longji's hands. After reading it, Li Longji expressed his relief that the two were able to resolve their grievances. But at this time, Zhang said that he was depressed at home and finally understood why he was depressed. He was fooled, indeed he was fooled.Why did I write an inscription for him when I didn't avenge my past vengeance?If this is engraved, the signature Zhang said, how can I settle accounts with his family in the future!

Zhang said that he slapped his thigh, shouted that he had been fooled, and sent the envoy to rush to Yao Chong's house. Words are inappropriate and need to be corrected? Yao Xiaochong looked at Zhang Shuo's messenger and told the tear-jerking story above. After Zhang Shuo's envoy heard this, he ran home feeling aggrieved-this was indeed a tear-jerking story, because Yao Chong had already made Zhang Shuo count and cried.After listening to the envoy's words, Zhang said that comrades were so angry that their eyeballs were almost green, but what can they do? Recalling this incident, Zhang Shuo couldn't help sighing, "Yao Chong can still be regarded as alive Zhang Shuo, I just realized today that my talent is indeed not as good as Yao Chong!"

The reason why Kaiyuan is a prosperous age is not because of the discord between the prime ministers. Facts have proved that Zhang Yue is also very good at doing practical things. He has done several major things as soon as he took office. The first thing was a bad thing. He asked the historian for help, dug out "Zetian Shilu" and falsified the characters. Zhang said that he has never done anything particularly disgusting in his life, but he has always been worried about Zhang Changzong's abuse of him and his hesitation.If I write it according to the original, it looks like my mother-in-law is like a villain.The people who wrote this period of history were Liu Zixuan (already dead) and author Lang Wujing (still alive). Zhang said that he found that this period of history was written without any concealment.Therefore, Zhang Shuofei asked people to delete the scene where he wandered in fear.

The most important thing is to delete how Song Jing and others tried to persuade him, and his bitter expression.After listening to what Zhang said, Wu Jing smiled and sneered.He has long noticed that Mr. Zhang Shuo often goes to the history compilation team. Everyone proofreads it carefully, and Zhang Shuo also carefully reads "Ze Tian Shi Lu".Suddenly, he slapped the record on the table and sighed: "Liu Wulang (Liu Zixuan) is so unhelpful!" Wu Jing understood that it was Zhang who said that when the little old man saw him, he was simply pointing fingers at Sang and scolding Huai. He said that he was dead, but he was talking about himself in secret.He stood up and said loudly: "I wrote this, and the historian's records and drafts are still there. Why do you still spread your grievances on the dead?" Look at Zhang and say.However, Zhang said he was not the kind of shameless person. He blushed, said some nonsense, and continued to pretend to read the book seriously.However, I don't know whether Zhang said it was too shameless or not at all. After a few days, he ran to Wu Jing again.

Faced with such a prime minister, Mr. Wu Jing must have been very helpless. He is telling Zhang, don't bother me in the future.The implication is that unless you are an old man who travels back to the man, the history books have to be written like this.Zhang said he knew what was interesting, so he walked away from now on.In fact, Zhang said that he was too nervous, and the history of his revision of the history books became his stain again.However, later, Zhang Shuo was still a good figure in people's minds, and Wu Jing was still a historian in people's minds. Wu Jing has completed it. This is a very classic political book.The best thing about this book is that, more than a thousand years later, it has become a must-read list for the Emperor of Japan, and it is also widely circulated in Japanese society.

Annan (Vietnam) had a problem. There was a man named Mei Shuluan, who was dissatisfied with his small life and led an army of rebels to besiege prefectures and counties.The uprising army was in full swing, and Li Longji also paid attention to it, and sent General Hussars and servant Yang Sixu to fight against it.This eunuch with a full face, a big temper, and a love for cannibalism took a few people with him when he set off.Yang Sixu traveled all the way to Vietnam and gathered his disciples. Within a few days, more than 100,000 people were gathered, and the effect was very sensational. Yang Sixuan didn't talk too much nonsense, and led the army to put down Mei Shuluan's army.

The thieves scattered and fled, but there was no way to escape.Because Baiyue's disciples were really strong, after killing the large band of bandits, someone led a group of people straight to the heart, beheading Mei Shuluan under the horse.I really don't know what kind of hatred there is between this handsome thief and ordinary people.However, Yang Sixu didn't care much about these issues, and won a great victory. Yang Sixu made a speech first, praised his children who fought with him, and announced that he would pile up the corpses of the bandit soldiers into a mountain (a burst of cheers), and then returned to the army. Zhang came up with a bad idea, suggesting that all the more than 50,000 Hu people in the six prefectures of Hequ should be moved to Xu, Ru, Tang, Deng, Xian, Yu and other prefectures. However, after discussing for a long time, it was not clear what Prime Minister Zhang wanted to do.Some said to vacate military fortresses and disperse the often capricious barbarians.Then, someone asked, since there are no troops in Shuofang and Henan, shouldn't the more than 600,000 guarding soldiers go home and rest? Zhang said that he came up with another bad idea. He thought that disarming 200,000 troops and letting them go home to work in agriculture, leaving 400,000 guards, would be enough. The emperor couldn't believe it, "200,000 has been laid off, what should I do if I encounter a strong enemy?" "I have also worked in the frontier for many years, and I know of some changes. The 600,000 army is not the most useful on the battlefield, but as the general's guard and home. If you want to defend against the enemy and win, there is no need for these people. " "But……" "If your Majesty doubts it, I am willing to guarantee it with the heads of a whole family!" Li Longji agreed with his proposal.It has to be said that Zhang Shuo was the first prime minister to clearly realize the essence of the disintegration of the treasury soldiers, which is already remarkable.The treasury soldiers in the early Tang Dynasty, from their youth to their sixties, worked as farmers in leisure time and soldiers in wartime. This is what Zhang said was very dissatisfied.But what makes him even more dissatisfied is that the 600,000 troops are at the border all year round, and no one cares about what happens at home.Only the old and the weak are left in the village, unable to do heavy farm work, and the ridges in the fields are all out of order. In this case, during the war, it is impossible to avoid taxes anyway, so what should farmers do? Farmers can only cold salad, or die, or flee. Therefore, in Zetian's later years, the treasury soldiers had reached the point where no one could use them.At that time, Zhang Shuo had a lot of opinions on this thing, but he was not in his position and did not seek his own government.It's all right now, Zhang said that he has become the prime minister. He feels that his task now is to completely deny the treasury soldiers, and ask Li Longji to recruit strong men to serve as guards, and give them all preferential treatment regardless of their origins.Only in this way, those people who fled to avoid paying taxes will return home. Is it okay to do this? Effect: In just ten days, the Ministry of War selected 130,000 elite soldiers and assigned them to various guards.The division between soldiers and peasants begins from now on! In the past, it was "what's the difference between a soldier" (everyone is a peasant and a soldier), but now it is "a soldier is different" (a soldier is a soldier and no longer does farm work).Zhang said that he looked at this great event he had done cheerfully. He was proud of the fact that he had cut off countless people who had nothing to eat, and that he had allowed many people to have their homes and return home.The previous situation of not going home for several years and being adrift all the time is no longer there. However, Zhang said that recently Zhang Jiazhen looked at him a little bit wrong. Like Li Yuan, Li Shimin, Li Zhi and Wu Zetian, Li Longji also had many daughters-in-law, among which the eldest daughter-in-law, Queen Wang, is the most.Li Longji doesn't like Queen Wang very much, just doesn't like it, and there is no other reason.For the suave and relatively young Li Longji, this disgruntled, old and decrepit queen, apart from the fact that he was grateful for going through the wind and rain with him back then, he really didn't feel anything. He prefers a coquettish concubine, that very favored woman. Think about it, who is that concubine? There is a prize for the correct answer. People call her Concubine Wu Hui, and she has a savage personality. Before that, the amorous classmate Li Longji had loved three girls, Zhao Lifei, Huangfu Deyi, and Liu Cairen, and they all bore children for him (and they all had boys).The three of them have delicate skin, no acne, good looks, ecstasy in posture, and ingenuity, but when Concubine Wu Hui appeared, she instantly killed them.The other two were relatively better, and the most painful one was Queen Wang, because she was the same as Queen Wang in Li Zhi's time - barren. After so many years, Li Longji had no need to wait for her to become pregnant, so Concubine Wu Hui acted.As the daughter of Wu Youzhi, she inherited the genes of her great-aunt Wu Zetian who are fierce, venomous, clever, and manipulative, but there is one thing, Concubine Wu Hui is not strong enough, she is more trustworthy than Wu Zetian. Queen Wang fell out of favor, and Li Longji gradually became tired of this old woman who only knew how to complain. He thought for a long time, and finally made up his mind to abolish Queen Wang.He couldn't think clearly by himself, so he asked the secretary and supervisor Jiang Jiao to come.
