Chapter 30 The Thirtyth Session of Jiuling Admonishing the Holy Spirit to Construct Lushan to Exonerate and Bury Hidden Dangers

If Wu Hui'er wanted to do something in front of Li Longji, for example, she wanted to speak well of someone, she had to make good use of the method of going along with the flow without showing any traces, so as to have some effect.Wu Hui'er knew that the current emperor was not the former Emperor Zhongzong, he understood Dali and was quite astute, if he interfered in the government like Queen Wei, he probably would fall out of favor if he didn't succeed. However, compared with the early days, Wu Hui'er speaks a little casually with the emperor, sometimes his words are too revealing, and he can quickly cover up with words, which seems to be more than capable.She listened to Niu Guier's retelling of Li Linfu's words, and she meditated on good strategies there.

Wu Hui'er didn't know that Li Longji had already thought of Li Linfu before she thought of a good plan. After the Spring Festival, Pei Yaoqing set off eastward.At that time, the grain from the south of the Yangtze River was transported to the north, mainly through the canals such as Shanyangdu, Tongji Canal, and Jiangnan River dug in the Sui Dynasty. thing. The water condition of the Yellow River is treacherous, and navigation is difficult, especially the dangerous shoals of the Sanmen Pillar.The transportation of grain from the south to the north was changed to land transportation when it reached the Yellow River. The main reason was that the section of the three pillars was insurmountable.

Pei Yaoqing has no power to transform this dangerous shoal. He can only follow the natural trend and intend to change the status quo by setting up warehouses along the river and transferring them step by step.This is not a one-time achievement, Pei Yaoqing will have to spend several years to achieve it. After taking a nap in the afternoon, Li Longji ordered Gao Lishi to follow him and enter the Zhongshu Province by public opinion, and then entered the government office where Zhang Jiuling was in charge.At that time, Li Linfu was discussing with Zhang Jiuling in the hall. When they saw the emperor coming, they hurriedly knelt down to greet him.

After sitting down for a while, Li Longji asked Li Linfu, "Li Qing, what are you doing here?" Li Linfu bowed and replied: "Zhang Ling is summoned today, and I just came to answer the question." Zhang Jiuling said: "Your Majesty, I saw that the principle of appointing officials in the past has changed quite a bit. Because I don't know the reason, I called Li Shangshu to inquire." Li Longji said: "Is it based on qualifications?" When Xiao Song and Pei Guangting were prime ministers, Pei Guangting insisted on selecting officials based on qualifications.At that time, more than 2,000 people were qualified to be officials each year through outflows and inflows and various channels, and about 600 people were able to be awarded officials each year.The so-called qualifications mean that officials at all levels are required to pass a certain number of years before being elected to the Ministry of Officials after their term of office expires, and they are gradually upgraded strictly according to their seniority.After Pei Guangting's death, Xiao Song immediately abolished the practice of selecting officials based on qualifications, and changed to granting appointments at any time based on merit. This method has continued to this day.

Zhang Jiuling gave an affirmative answer. Li Longji sighed: "Xiao Song and Pei Guangting had some conflicts at that time. Pei Guangting thought that Xiao Song didn't understand official affairs, so he acted on his own; while Xiao Song extremely rejected Pei Guangting, and Pei Guangting was abolished as soon as he died. They should have Discuss it carefully to distinguish its advantages and disadvantages, and then make it a common law of the country. Well, Li Qing, you have been in charge of the Ministry of Officials for a long time, so you should know the advantages and disadvantages of following qualifications, what do you think?"

Li Linfu glanced at Zhang Jiuling, and said cautiously: "Zhang Ling attaches great importance to this situation, and asked the minister for details. As for whether to select officials based on qualifications in the future, I believe that Zhang Ling will have his own conclusion after reporting to His Majesty. The minister will be in charge of the Ministry of Officials and will follow chapter implementation." Li Linfu's words were impeccable, and his words were full of respect for Zhang Jiuling, which Li Longji found very pleasing to the ear. Zhang Jiuling reported: "Your Majesty, Li Shangshu just described the details of the matter. Selecting officials based on qualifications is actually a relatively fair method of selecting officials. It can ensure that all those who are waiting for officials will enter the office in order. There are restrictions on talented people. I discussed with Li Shangshu just now, and it would be best if we can find a method that not only takes into account fairness but also values ​​talent."

Li Longji shook his head and said: "All the laws in the world have advantages and disadvantages. How can there be a perfect method? It would be good if the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. Forget it, you can discuss this matter carefully, and don't rush to make a conclusion." The two bowed and agreed.Li Linfu thought that when the emperor came here, he must have something important to say to Zhang Jiuling, so he resigned obediently. Li Longji looked around the hall and sighed: "Once Pei Qing leaves, your name of 'Zhongshu Menxia' will not be worthy of the name. Zhang Qing, if the burden of state affairs is on your shoulders, and if this continues, can you last?"

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the minister will devote himself to politics." Zhang Jiuling quoted Zhuge Liang's words, which made Li Longji immediately think of Zhuge Liang's deeds, and then smiled and said: "Zhuge Liang felt that Liu Bei Tuogu, because of his dedication, he died of overwork. Now the world's talents are doing their best. If I let you alone If I support you, I don't feel sorry for you. Jiuling, I want to choose another person to help me, can you recommend someone?" This is the emperor's trust, and Zhang Jiuling thought seriously when he heard this.However, he thought about it for a long time and found no one, so he came up with another idea and said, "Your Majesty actually doesn't need to choose another chancellor. Han Xiu is currently the Secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and he is the most diligent and pragmatic in his work. Han Xiu can be in charge of the water transportation. Then Pei Shizhong can escape and return to Beijing."

Li Longji shook his head and said: "Han Xiujiu is an official in the capital, and he has never been a local official, so he has little experience in dealing with small affairs. Moreover, Pei Qing is here to solve the problem of transporting grain to Chang'an, not specializing in water transport, the matter is Guan storage, Ding tax and other aspects, and to coordinate the inter-connection of the states, only as a prime minister can do it. Jiuling, I have followed the story of Zhenguan for many years, and finally made the world rich, the population prosperous, and Fengchan Taishan, If the matter of transporting grain to Chang'an is not resolved, the people of the world will ridicule me as the "Emperor of Chasing Grain", and for this alone, it will be difficult to look up to Emperor Taizong."

Zhang Jiuling knew that Li Longji's heart knot was very lofty. He not only wanted to act according to the Zhenguan story, but even wanted to achieve better results than Emperor Taizong.During the Zhenguan period, due to the small number of officials in the capital (there were only 643 officials in the central government office at the time), the population in Guanzhong did not increase significantly, and there was no shortage of food in Guanzhong.Now that the world is ripening year after year, there is no shortage of food in the whole country, but the plight of food shortage in Guanzhong suddenly becomes apparent due to transportation problems.Seeing that Li Longji insisted on this, Zhang Jiuling no longer insisted on Pei Yaoqing's return to Beijing.

Li Longji asked suddenly: "Jiu Ling, what do you think of Li Linfu? Can he be a prime minister?" When Zhang Jiuling heard the words, a contemptuous look appeared on his face. Without hesitation, he blurted out: "Li Linfu is the chancellor? Your Majesty, with Li Linfu's talent, it is really a high position to be the Minister of the Ministry of Officials. I thought it was too difficult. Why do you think so?" Where's the picture?" Li Longji's face was not filled with joy or anger, and he said lightly: "In this way, you have nothing to say? Well, probably you and Zhang said that you have a teacher-student friendship, so your vision and taste are similar." Zhang Jiuling heard the dissatisfaction in the emperor's voice, and couldn't explain it for a while, so he had to keep silent. Li Longji went on to say: "Or, you still have entanglements with Li Linfu when he impeached Zhang? Jiuling, you should see clearly that what Zhang said at that time was indeed too much, and I heard later that you also persuaded him a lot at that time. That's it. It seems that Yu Shitai's impeachment of Zhang Yue is both a duty and a necessity." Zhang Jiuling replied: "That's right, what my mentor did at that time was indeed a little too much. Your Majesty immediately dismissed him, which can be said to be the right time, and Yu Shitai should also be impeached. However, I think that what Cui Yinfu, Yu Wenrong and Li Linfu did is not righteous, and they Secretly detaining warlocks has already violated the law, and they harbor evil intentions and try to falsely accuse their mentors, which is really the method of the cruel officials in the past, Your Majesty must investigate." "Well, this matter is over, so let's not make extra troubles. At that time, Cui Yinfu and Yu Wenrong joined forces, and then continued to fight with Zhang Shuo. They were suspected of being cronies, and we all demoted them to make an example. Judging from this incident , Li Linfu impeached Zhang Shuo with the public in order to fulfill his duty, this is the justice of the courtiers, and then Cui Yinfu and Yu Wenrong joined forces to attack Zhang Shuo, and Li Linfu withdrew at the right time, it can be seen that Li Linfu is very sober, which is really rare." But Zhang Jiuling did not agree with the holy will, and said to himself: "Your Majesty, I don't think so. Li Linfu used to be under Cui Yinfu and Yu Wenrong. He had no literary talent and conduct, but he was able to rise all the way. Why? He was just good at catering to speculation. .If I work with such people, I really despise their ways.” Li Longji shook his head and said: "Jiu Ling, you are now the prime minister, if you are so deeply attached, it will be difficult to show your vision." Two months later, Li Longji still granted Li Linfu the Minister of Rites, and he also knew the affairs of Tong Zhongshu, so Li Linfu became the prime minister. Zhang Jiuling didn't like Li Linfu, but this was the emperor's appointment, so he had nothing to say. When Li Linfu resigned as Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Li Longji asked Li Linfu's true attitude towards appointing officials based on qualifications alone. Li Linfu replied bluntly: "I think we should return to selecting officials based on qualifications. This method is the most fair for all candidates. Those who want to take advantage of the tricks have nothing to do. As for the restrictions on talents, I think that only your majesty can recognize talents and promote them, and ministers must be selected in order, and they are not qualified to be promoted." Li Longji thought so, so he asked Zhang Jiuling to return to the path of selecting candidates based on qualifications. For those low-rank officials who have not been able to get official positions for a long time or have been stagnant, it is really a great gospel to adopt the method of appointment based on qualifications.When those middle and lower level officials heard the news, they immediately rejoiced and were extremely happy. In fact, Zhang Jiuling does not agree with the method of appointing appointments based on qualifications. He believes that this method is too rigid, causing countless mediocre officials to rank above all levels of positions, thus blocking the way for talented people to enter. However, since Li Longji already agreed with this proposal, and he had nothing to say, so he had no choice but to push the boat along and let it go. In addition, Zhang Shougui has achieved great victories in recent years, and has been promoted to the Jiedu Envoy of Youzhou. He is also known as the Governor of Yingzhou, so the military from Youzhou to the northeast is under his command. Last winter, Khitan chiefs Qu Li and Ke Tugan suddenly asked to surrender, Zhang Shougui saw through their plot to surrender, so he sent General An Lushan to discuss the surrender in the camp of the other side.This Anlu Mountain is courageous and resourceful. On the one hand, he fights with Qu Li and Ke Tugan, and secretly meets Li Guozhe, the other chief who is fighting for power with Ke Tugan.As a result, Li Guo beheaded Qu Li and Ke Tugan, and led his troops to surrender to the Tang Dynasty. The news of the great victory came back to the capital, and Li Longji was overjoyed to hear it.He excitedly summoned Zhang Jiuling, and praised: "Zhang Shougui is indeed brave and resourceful. He sent the unknown generals under his command, but he sent all the Khitan tribes back to our court without bloodshed. His contribution is very great." Looking at the emperor's radiant face, Zhang Jiuling thought that the emperor had promised Yao Chong not to ask for meritorious service for 30 years, but now that the 30 years have not come, he might have forgotten the preface by this time, and began to yearn to expand the territory, so he said lightly: " Your Majesty, it is normal for the frontier wars to have victories and losses. These Khitans have surrendered today, and they may rebel tomorrow, so I think it is not appropriate to be happy or angry." Hearing these words, Li Longji was a little harsh, so he asked, "Why did Zhang Qing say that?" "Your Majesty, since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the rewards for military exploits have been very generous, so some border generals recruited the barbarians to reward them from the imperial court. Those surrendered people may rebel, so the officers and troops will suppress them again, and the border generals will invite them back and forth. Contributions. At the beginning of Kaiyuan, Duke Yao begged His Majesty not to seek meritorious service for 30 years, and Duke Song deliberately did not reward Hao Lingquan, all because of this." "According to Qing, this Shougui is a person who is good at asking for credit?" "Zhang Shougui is courageous and resourceful, and he is indeed an outstanding general in our dynasty. This is obvious to all, so I don't need to say more. However, if your majesty rewards military merits repeatedly, the frontier generals will lightly start the battle, and use this to invite merits, thus forming a culture. Human beings are fickle. People like Zhang Shougui have enjoyed this atmosphere, so it is unknown whether he will take credit according to the situation." Li Longji swallowed a mouthful of saliva, thinking that Zhang Jiuling obviously has the shadows of Song Jing and Han Xiu, he has been looking for good looks, but unexpectedly found such a master again, a trace of unhappiness flashed in his heart. Han Xiu and Zhang Jiuling held low positions before, and people only saw them as gentlemen. For example, after Han Xiu was recommended by Wang Qiu, Xiao Song thought Han Xiu was "gentle and easy to control", so he recommended him.Who knows that after this kind of person is promoted to the phase, his heart is full of pride in taking the world as his own responsibility, he only knows the principles of sages and sages, and he is not afraid of the emperor's superiority, thus showing his honest and straightforward side. Li Longji hid the slight unhappiness in his heart, and stopped entangled with Zhang Jiuling on the issue of border skills, and said: "Well, you agree that Zhang Shougui is brave and resourceful, so that's very good. Recently, I intend to choose a good general to enter the court. You and Pei Yaoqing Li Linfu and Li Linfu have no military experience, and the court really needs someone who can preside over the world's military affairs. I think that besides Zhang Shougui, there are two other people who can be regarded as brave and resourceful." "Your Majesty is referring to Niu Xianke and Wang Zhongsi from Hexi." After Xiao Song became prime minister, he recommended Niu Xianke as Hexi Jiedu envoy, and Wang Zhongsi as Hexi Jiedu's deputy envoy. "That's right, it's them. However, Niu Xianke has served as a small official before, and his military ability still needs to be tempered; as for Wang Zhongsi, he is too young after all." After Niu Xianke was appointed as the Hexi Jiedu envoy, Li Longji sent someone to come I went to check and found that Niu Xianke was diligent and tireless, making the warehouse full and the equipment excellent, so I greatly appreciated him. Zhang Jiuling asked: "If Your Majesty appoints Zhang Shougui as Prime Minister, then who will be in charge of the Northeast military affairs?" "Still let Zhang Shougui take charge of it, so that he can also know the Jiedu envoy of Youzhou." Zhang Jiuling shook his head resolutely when he heard the words, and said: "Your Majesty wants to choose a prime minister, and I have no choice but to make suggestions. However, there are currently three prime ministers in the court, who can manage the affairs calmly; and your majesty appointed Zhang Shougui as the prime minister, not for the purpose of governing. It is really an act of reward.” "Isn't it possible to reward merit?" "Of course not. Your Majesty, the prime minister, who manages things on behalf of the heavens, is not an official who rewards merit." Li Longji couldn't help being furious when he heard the words.Zhang Jiuling's words were based on Confucianism. After all, Li Longji wanted to be a wise master, and the prime minister's advice should be taken seriously, so he gave up. However, Li Longji finally summoned Zhang Shougui and An Lushan into the capital, named Zhang Shougui the general of the auxiliary country, and gave him a thousand horses of miscellaneous colors, several gold and silver artifacts, and issued an edict to erect a monument in Youzhou to commemorate his achievements; He was also awarded the title of General Pinglu. Li Longji no longer granted Zhang Shougui the post of prime minister, and only granted him a title within the rank of the army, so Zhang Jiuling no longer obstructed it.When Zhang Shougui came to Beijing to listen to the seal, of course he had to lead An Lushan to visit the relevant government offices of the imperial court. When he entered Zhongshu Province, it happened that Pei Yaoqing returned to Beijing to talk with Zhang Jiuling, and the two met An Lushan for the first time. An Lushan was thirty-three years old. He was born with broad arms and a round waist, with a beard all over his face.Seeing him, Pei Yaoqing said to Zhang Shougui: "General An relied on his bravery in the battle, and thus made considerable achievements in battle. I still approve of it; however, he entered the enemy camp alone this time, not only to prevent the Khitan from murdering, but also to instigate against Li. It takes courage and strategy to make mistakes. It seems that General An, like Ambassador Zhang, is indeed a man of courage and strategy." Zhang Shougui proudly said: "I took him in as a foster son because I saw his bravery. Don't think he was born like a barbarian. Before he joined the army, he was the Yalang of Zhushi. He was good at calculating and talking nine times." You can't judge people by their appearances." Zhang Jiuling didn't talk much at the time, and he looked at An Lushan very carefully with his focused eyes. After Zhang Shougui and An Lushan left, Pei Yaoqing clicked his tongue and praised: "Most barbarians are people with little courage and strength, it seems that An Lushan is really an odd number." Zhang Jiuling said coldly: "Pei Shizhong, have you carefully looked into this guy's eyes?" "I see that his appearance is very thick, he is really a good player in the battle, but I didn't look into his eyes." "Hmph, its eyes are not big, but they are shining brightly. There is both flattery and cunning in them. The most rare thing about him is that he is used to hiding his true thoughts under his seemingly honest face. Attendant Pei , how could such a barbarian make me flustered?" Pei Yaoqing said with a smile: "I think Zhang Ling is diligent in political affairs these days, so he is a little dazed." Zhang Jiuling shook his head heavily, and said: "No, it's this person who upset me! Attendant Pei, this person has an opposite face and a fierce look in his eyes, and whoever messes up Youzhou in the future must be this barbarian." Pei Yaoqing thought that Zhang Jiuling's speculation was groundless, so he just laughed it off and stopped discussing it in detail. When it comes to An Lushan's life experience, it is quite complicated. An Lushan was originally a mixed-bred Hu from Liucheng, Yingzhou. His mother, Ashide, was a Turkic wizard.Later, his mother married An Yanyan, a Turkic, so he took the surname of An and named him Lushan. About An Lushan was born Kongwuli when he was young, which can be seen from his nickname.In the Turkic language, Yahunshan means fighting. Anlushan has been fighting bravely since he was young, so he joined hands with Shi Siming (named Gugan at this time) and others to form a well-known gang.When he was sixteen years old, with the help of his stepfather, An Yanyan, he found a post from Zhushi Yalang. This mission was not given by the official rank, but probably just a broker in the border mutual market.An Lushan gained this position and honed two good skills. One is to develop the vision and sense of smell of a businessman; the other is to interact with people of many ethnic groups and learn nine languages ​​so that he is good at communicating with people of all ethnic groups. At this time, An Lushan was still hugging with Shi Siming and his gang. Both of them were fierce and aggressive, and their housekeeping skills were not lost.An Lushan is the Yalang of the Zhushi, and his salary is all for him, and he is far from enjoying it with Shi Siming and others.They went around like this, An Lushan didn't realize that he was thirty years old, it was a bad year, he thought they had no livelihood, so he took the risk and stole people and sheep, but he was caught and beheaded as usual. An Lushan has been traveling through various cities for a long time, he knows the deeds of Zhang Shougui, the Jiedu envoy of Youzhou, and has seen Zhang Shougui from a distance.It happened by coincidence that when the yamen guards escorted An Lushan and Shi Siming and other criminals on the road, Zhang Shougui's guard of honor happened to come from the opposite side, and the people along the way made way for them as usual. Under An Lushan's rough face was a decisive heart. When he saw Zhang Shougui's guard of honor coming towards him, he immediately made up his mind.When he saw that Zhang Shougui was closest to him, he suddenly shouted: "Ambassador Zhang, doesn't he want to destroy the Khitan and Xi clans? Why kill the strong men in vain?!" An Lushan usually has a loud voice, but today he was facing a life-and-death moment, of course he shouted with all his might, his voice was as loud as a bronze bell, Zhang Shougui who was walking stopped immediately and turned his head to check what happened. The appearance of An Lushan is unforgettable. His figure is tall and mighty, and he has a beard. It is not in vain to call himself a "strong man".Zhang Shougui was slightly interested in this barbarian, and asked, "What are you capable of? How dare you call yourself a strong man?" At that time, the yamen guards came up to stop An Lushan. While struggling, An Lushan shouted loudly: "The villain knows the situation of the mountains and rivers in the northeast, and also understands the words of Khitan and Xiren. Is it useless to Mr. Zhang?" Zhang Shougui stopped the yamen servants and took a closer look at Anlu Mountain. Then he ordered his release and ordered him to be used in front of the army.An Lushan told the interests of Shi Siming and a group of partners at the right time, and they were released at the same time, and they all served in the front of the army. In the next few years, An Lushan and Shi Siming cheered up, or went deep into the Northeast to inquire about information for the Tang army. They were all Turkic, and they knew the language of Khitan and Xi people, so they gained a lot from it; or they used their gang as the main force Going deep into the land of the Khitans, they often win more with less, and captured many Khitans. Zhang Shougui saw that the gang of condemned prisoners had made such great contributions, and gradually looked at them differently. After a while, he awarded An Lushan and Shi Siming as "generals who catch life", and An Lushan was the most valiant. post.Zhang Shougui liked it, and adopted him as his adopted son. The reason why An Lushan has made great achievements and captured countless Khitan people is mainly due to his understanding of Khitan dialect.Whenever there was a confrontation, An Lushan was not in a hurry to fight with a sword, but had a kind attitude. He first talked with the leaders of Khitan and Xiren, and his own experience tried to exaggerate the benefits of surrendering to the Tang Dynasty.This move proved to be successful after repeated trials, and more and more descendants came from it, and An Lushan's military achievements became more and more obvious. This time An Lushan helped Zhang Shougui plan to disperse Qu Li and Ke Tugan, his wisdom and courage were truly outstanding, and Li Longji gave him the title of General Pinglu.An Lushan was complacent from this, and soon after he returned to the ground in Yingzhou, he made a huge mistake. Previously, the Khitan people supported by Qu Li, Ke Tugan and Li Kezhe were an important branch of the Khitan tribe. Since then, they surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, and the power of Khitan and Xiren was greatly frustrated.An Lushan was newly awarded the title of General Pinglu, and his mind changed. He abandoned the previous practice of mainly recruiting and surrendering, and chose to force with courage. One day, he led his troops to pursue further northward, in an attempt to win another victory. . Khitan and Xiren avoided their sharp edge, showed their cowardice first, and slowly led An Lushan's troops into the ambush circle that had been ambushed in advance.The Tang army was defeated in this battle. An Lushan rushed out of the ambush circle with only three soldiers, and fled back to Yingzhou with his helmet and armor removed. An Lushan had made countless contributions to Zhang Shougui in the past, but now Zhang Shougui forgot about his past achievements, ordered An Lushan to be escorted to the capital, and made a report saying that Anlushan did not obey orders, thus the rash advance led to a big defeat, he should be executed as usual. An Lushan thus faced another critical moment of life and death. An Lushan was exempted from death by Zhang Shougui and promoted, and was adopted as a adopted son. At such a critical moment, Zhang Shougui would have given him up without hesitation. Li Longji became a nobleman of Anlu Mountain again. Zhang Jiuling received Zhang Shougui's memorandum, and wrote a few words on it: "Ju went out of the army and killed Zhuang Jia, Sun Wu practiced the battle and killed the palace concubines, obeyed the law and practiced in the army, Lushan will inevitably die." Play Feng and the emperor.Li Longji's instructions were very quick, and he wrote a sentence on it: "Don't die, but you can do your crimes and make meritorious service before the army." Seeing that the emperor dismissed his initial proposal, Zhang Jiuling already had prejudices against Anlu Mountain. He thought to himself that it was time for the heaven-sent opportunity to eradicate the weeds, so how could he let it go lightly?So he went to the palace to see Li Longji, intending to fight for it again. Li Longji understood Zhang Jiuling's reason for coming, and said: "An Lushan is guilty of greedy and aggressive, and lost his master because of this. However, when everyone makes mistakes, An Lushan was born in the grass and made a lot of contributions. We Why blame him?" Zhang Jiuling bowed and said: "My minister sees that An Lushan is born with the opposite, which shows the ambition of a wolf. This time, he is guilty, so he can take the opportunity to get rid of it, so as to prevent future troubles forever." Li Longji said with a smile: "Zhang Qing, when did you learn to recognize people? If a person is rebellious, can you really see it? I remember that in the Three Kingdoms Zhuge Liang could see that Wei Yan was rebellious. Didn't you learn from Zhuge?" Compared with Yao Chong, Zhang Shuo and others, Zhang Jiuling has much less seniority after all. When Li Longji gets along with him, he has less respect, so he speaks relatively casually. Zhang Jiuling replied: "Your Majesty, ordinary barbarians are less wise and more courageous. This An Lushan appears to be loyal, but his heart is actually extremely treacherous. The minister's vision is cunning and cunning, and when he acts, he will be able to rise to a high position." , I am afraid it will be difficult for anyone to control it." Li Longji put away his smile and said: "In this way, you take Ju and Sun Wu as examples, and it seems to be a standard military law, but in fact, you use this as an excuse to kill Anlu Mountain to prevent future troubles?" Ju was worshiped by Qi Jinggong as a general to train troops, and beheaded the late supervisor Zhuang Jia with strict military orders; Wu Wang Helu wanted to use Sun Wu as a general, but he didn't know the truth, so he ordered Sun Wu to train the people in his harem to observe him. Seeing that the women only laughed and did not listen to orders, they beheaded the two favorite concubines of the King of Wu to establish their prestige, so the women trained in a regular manner. Zhang Jiuling replied: "This is exactly what I mean." Li Longji shook his head and sighed: "Jiu Ling, you think so, but I think it's false. Anlu Mountain is good at fighting, understands the terrain, understands the Tibetan language, and has wisdom. It is really a rare talent in the army. Ah. Although he was defeated this time, his heart to go to war was to serve the country and share our worries. He is indeed a loyal general. Why can’t I see his so-called rebellion?" Li Longji was already impatient when he said this, Zhang Jiuling was the least good at observing words and expressions when talking to others, and he was still chattering there, urging Li Longji to withdraw his order and kill An Lushan. Li Longji was a little annoyed, and said a word lightly: "You can't harm Zhongliang because Wang Yan knew Shi Le!" Zhang Jiuling was shocked when he heard these words, so he stopped talking and did not dare to speak again. An Lushan escaped from this. Why did Li Longji's words make Zhang Jiuling so shocked that he didn't dare to urge him anymore? Because Li Longji's words are too serious! From Wang Yanguan to Taiwei and Minister of the Western Jin Dynasty, he relied on his status as a famous scholar to concentrate on talking, and he didn't think about how to deal with the internal and external difficulties, so he finally became a prisoner of Shile.Born as a slave in Shile, he gradually became the general of Liu Yuan, king of the Later Han Dynasty, and finally established himself as the Emperor of Later Zhao.After Wang Yan was captured, he had a famous conversation with Shi Le. Shi Le still respected Wang Yan very much at this time, and asked him about the old affairs of the Western Jin Dynasty.Wang Yan first stated the reasons for the defeat of the Western Jin Dynasty, and said that he was not responsible; then he confessed that he did not want to participate in political affairs at all, but only for self-protection; finally he urged Shi Le to call himself emperor. As a great celebrity, Wang Yan was too shameless to persuade a Hun to proclaim himself emperor. Shi Le couldn't see it either. He heard the words and angrily said: "The king's name is beneficial to the world, he has a heavy responsibility, and he is young and strong. As for the white head, why do you say that you don't care about the evil of the world! It is the king's crime to destroy the world!" After a few days, Wang Yan was killed by Shi Le's men pushing the wall. The allusion Li Longji cites today is that when Shi Le was fourteen years old, he was selling Luoyang with others. When he walked to the upper east gate and saw the prosperous scene of Luoyang, he couldn't help but feel something, and shouted to the sky.Wang Yan happened to be here at the right time, and heard the voice and said to the left and right: "Xiangzhe Hu Chu, I see that his voice and vision have different ambitions, and I am afraid it will be a disaster for the world." But Wang Yan is now a celebrity, and it is nothing more than talk . Li Longji quoted this allusion to denounce Zhang Jiuling, which can be described as very mean. The first level of meaning: You should not make general comments on Anlu Mountain like Wang Yan. Wang Yan is famous for his clear talks. He served as Taiwei and Shang Shuling, and his status is roughly similar to that of Zhang Jiuling.Li Longji wanted to tell Zhang Jiuling: Do you want to use Wang Yan as a model? The second level of meaning: The meeting between Wang Yan and Shi Le at the Upper East Gate of Luoyang may be a lie for future generations.That Shi Le just yelled for the young man, could Wang Yan see that he had a different ambition?This must have been fabricated by Shi Le's imperial literati, so if you Zhang Jiuling can now see that An Lushan has rebellious bones, it may be a false thing. The last meaning is also the most important: An Lushan's behavior shows that he is a loyal man of the country. I think so, do you, Zhang Jiuling, dare to openly frame him? Zhang Jiuling had no choice but to be speechless. Zhang Jiuling wanted to kill the weeds, so he quoted two allusions. Unexpectedly, Li Longji refuted Zhang Jiuling speechless with only one allusion.Moreover, when Li Longji spoke, his words were calm and harmless. Zhang Jiuling felt it in his heart, and thus learned how powerful the emperor is.
