Chapter 136 Save the prime minister, Yao Chong

After watching Kou Zhun's video inventory, Li Shimin sighed regretfully, and said, "If such a great talent were placed in my Tang Dynasty, he would definitely be able to achieve great achievements. It's just a pity that he was born in the wrong age."

"Being framed by others and not dying well, talented civil servants and military generals will always be envied by others, and Kou Zhun has not escaped such a fate." Zhao Ji said regretfully.

Since being "opened up" by Zhao Kuangyin, and "discovering" many talents from "later Zhao Gou", his attitude towards the outside world has gradually become tough.

However, Zhao Gou deserves to be Zhao Gou. His thinking is still similar to that of most people in the management class of the Song Dynasty. "Kou Xiang's achievements are obvious to all, but Kou's strategy is too radical, and I don't agree with it."

At this time, Kou Zhun, who hadn't spoken for a long time, just silently watched the video review of himself, finally spoke after a long sigh, "The old man can get such an evaluation, and he will die in peace."

Kou Zhun's later years were quite bleak. Not only was he demoted to the frontier, he died in a foreign country, and in the end even his bones had to wait ten years before they could return to their roots and be buried in their hometown.

"The most hateful thing about a certain person is that he failed to persevere in resisting the Liao Dynasty and signed the shameful Tanyuan Alliance." But Kou Zhun still cared about his family and country. Even after his death, he still missed the original Tanyuan Alliance. , This 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 the family and the world fight for him.

Amidst the discussion among the crowd, the next video soon started again.

[Hi everyone, welcome to this short video: Inventory of the Top Ten Famous Figures in History! 】

[The eighth place among the top ten famous ministers in history: Yao Chong, the prime minister who saved the time. 】

【Producer: Su Qian】

After Li Longji saw the title, he immediately shouted excitedly: "Ha! It's Yao Chong! It's my Prime Minister Yao Chong!!!"

"During Li Longji's reign, the only passable prime minister was probably Yao Chong.

As for Song Jing, who is always as famous as Yao Chong, in our opinion, but just a policy of 'no rewards for side merits', he should be pulled out and chopped down! "Zhu Yuanzhang seems to be quite critical of Li Jinglong's prime ministers.

[Yao Chong, whose real name is Yuan Chong, was a famous prime minister and statesman in the Tang Dynasty, and the son of Yao Yi, governor of Yizhou.

Yao Chongli served as prime minister three times through the five dynasties of Gaozong, Wu Zetian, Zhongzong, Ruizong, and Xuanzong. He died in the ninth year of Kaiyuan Xuanzong at the age of 72. 】

In the parallel world, many officials couldn't help admiring,
"Awesome! After five dynasties and three prime ministers, this person can be called a tumbler in the officialdom!"

"Let's not talk about his political achievements, just seeing that he was able to stay in the officialdom for decades, and still get a good death in a high position, it can be seen that he is a very powerful politician."

"This person can be called a role model in the officialdom of our generation, and we need to learn a lot from him!"

[Yao Chong has been prime minister three times in his life, and he has accomplished a lot during his three prime ministers.

Especially when Tang Xuanzong was prime minister in the early years of Kaiyuan, he aimed at the malpractices in the government since Wu Zetian, pointed out the current malpractices, and proposed various reform measures.

Among them, the economic reform proposed by Yao Chong, coupled with his rectification of officials, military administration, and culture, played a very positive role in the emergence of the "Kaiyuan Prosperous Age". 】

[Yao Chong lost his father in his early years and lived with his mother. When he was young, he didn't like going to school and loved hunting.

When he was young and weak, that is, when he was just an adult, he didn't even read much.

Then why did Yao Chong later turn from a gangster who roamed around to a great politician who is dedicated to learning and has achieved success in learning?
There are two arguments here.

The first one: Said it was because he had met a person who was good at meeting people.

The man said to Yao Chong: "The public is very precious, and he will be the prime minister in the future."

After hearing this, Yao Chong went home and told his mother, who persuaded him to study.

Therefore, Yao Chong let go of all the hawks, dogs and harriers he used for hunting, and concentrated on studying in order to improve himself.

The second theory is: One day, Yao Chong went to visit his relatives and saw a book called "Xiuwendian Yulan".

This book was compiled by people in the Northern Qi Dynasty at that time. After reading a few pages, Yao Chong fell in love with it, and since then he has plunged into the pile of books.

No matter what the reason is, Yao Chong did not like studying until he was an adult, and he was later known for his literary talent. 】

[Yao Chong has gone through five dynasties, and at the beginning he became an official during the period 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 had no reputation. It was not until Empress Wu Zetian came to power that Yao Chong gradually began to emerge. 】

[In the first year of Long Live Tongtian (Park 696), Khitan invaded Hebei, and Wu Zetian asked courtiers to write a letter to propose countermeasures.

After reading the letters from the ministers, Wu Zetian suddenly discovered Yao Chong's talent and political talent, so he made an exception and promoted Yao Chong to be the servant of Xia Guan, and Yao Chong has since become an important minister of the court. 】

[In politics, Yao Chong dared to take responsibility, so he was deeply loved by Wu Zetian.

Yao Chong once pointedly pointed out: "Reuse of cruel officials to harm innocent people is more harmful than the party of the Han Dynasty."

For Yao Chong's criticism of her practices, Wu Zetian was not only not angry, but finally accelerated the process of ending the cruel official politics.

In October of the first year of the holy calendar, Yao Chong was appointed prime minister by Wu Zetian. It took him less than two years to become a prime minister from a fifth-rank official. 】

[Yao Chong helped Wu Zetian pacify all kinds of civil strife, so he was named prime minister by Wu Zetian.But Yao Chong found a problem. Although Wu Zetian was talented, he wanted to usurp Tang.

Yao Chong was a Jinshi in the Tang Dynasty. He believed in the idea of ​​loyalty to the emperor and patriotism. Naturally, he did not want this situation to happen. With Wu Zetian abolishing the emperor, Yao Chong's view of this became more and more serious.

He thought Wu Zetian was trying to make trouble!

This country is Li Tang's country, if you continue to play like this, you don't want to change the dynasty, do you?
However, the fact is just as Yao Chong thought, Wu Zetian changed the name of the country to Dazhou and became emperor himself. 】

[Wu Zetian became the emperor, so the relationship between Yao Chong and Wu Zetian became more awkward.

Although the master has not changed, it is Wu Zetian, but the problem is that Yao Chong has always been devoted to the Li Tang Dynasty. Now that the emperor has changed to a foreign surname, and the country name has changed to Zhou, how can Yao Chong not be embarrassed? 】

【As a result, Yao Chong secretly met and discussed with some veterans of the Li and Tang Dynasty at night.

They have only one purpose in doing this, 'that is how to save the Li Tang Dynasty. '

There is probably nothing to say about Wu Zetian's proclaiming the emperor, after all, he can be regarded as a generation of heroes.

But to whom she will pass the throne later becomes a big question.

If it is passed on to his own son, after all, it is also the blood of the Li family's royal family, that's okay.

But if she passed it on to her nephew, then Li Tang would really be doomed. 】

【So, a group of ministers headed by Yao Chong are closely watching Wu Zetian's every move.

But it is definitely not easy to engage in underground work under Wu Zetian's nose. Once caught, it would be a serious crime of beheading, so Yao Chong took the initiative to apply for a foreign transfer.

However, before Yao Chong was transferred abroad, he recommended a person to Wu Zetian, that is, the famous prime minister Zhang Jianzhi.

We all know that Zhang Jianzhi was an important hero who launched a coup to overthrow the Wu Zhou Dynasty, so Yao Chong has immortal merits and the grace of rebuilding for the Li and Tang Dynasties. 】
