Chapter 145 Stars hold the moon and the moon is flat, the night sky is bright and the moon is shining

[Fang Xuanling was witty and clever in his childhood. He read widely, liked to write articles, and had certain attainments in calligraphy.

Although Fang Xuanling is young, he has a unique perspective on things.Once, he went to the capital with his father, and the capital was prosperous, and everyone believed that the Sui Dynasty would not perish.

But Fang Xuanling said to his father: "The current emperor of the Sui Dynasty has no merit, but only confuses the common people. He has not made a long-term plan for the development of the Sui Dynasty, and the position of the crown prince is uncertain. Massacre. Relying on these people, how can the Sui Dynasty continue? In such a situation, the Sui Dynasty will perish sooner or later.”

Fang Xuanling's words made his father very surprised, and he immediately treated this underage son differently. 】

[At the same time, Fang Xuanling is also a filial person.

It is said that after Fang Xuanling's father fell ill, he took care of him for more than 100 days, feeding medicine and feeding himself every day, and sleeping next to his father in his clothes at night.

After his father died, he was so sad that he didn't eat for five days, which is enough to witness his filial piety. 】

[Fang Xuanling passed the Jinshi examination and was later appointed.At that time, Gao Xiaoji, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, praised Fang Xuanling endlessly. He asserted that Fang Xuanling would become a great weapon in the future.

Sure enough, Fang Xuanling was later appointed as the county captain of Xicheng County. 】

[However, after Fang Xuanling entered the official career, he felt powerless against the corruption and decadence of the Sui Dynasty government.

At that time, the society of the Sui Dynasty had already begun to be turbulent, and uprisings appeared in various places.

Among the rebel army, the most powerful are undoubtedly the Li clan and the Song clan.

After Li Yuan, the leader of the Li Clan, raised the flag of righteousness and entered the pass, Li Shimin, Li Yuan's second son, led the army to open up territory in Weibei. 】

[Fang Xuanling, who was in Shangjun, saw that Li Yuan and his son's army had strict discipline, strong combat effectiveness, courteous corporals, won the hearts of the people, and had great ambitions to conquer the world, so he resolutely left Shangjun and went to Weibei.

Before leaving, Fang Xuanling went to Heishui Temple to bid farewell to Master Guxuan. Master Guxuan gave him a long sword, clasped his hands together and said: "A good bird chooses a beautiful tree to live in, and a virtuous minister chooses a wise master to serve. Now It’s Yunpo Sunrise, you go!” Then he said, “I’ve already repaired a letter to Keming, and within three months, I’ll teach him to join you in the army.”]

[In the 13th year of Sui Daye (AD 617), Fang Xuanling, who was 38 years old at the time, decided to go out to seek his real career in this chaotic world.

This is a solemn choice he has been waiting for for many years. It is a rise when he is at the bottom of his life, and it is also a rare opportunity given to him by the times.

[After Li Shimin met Fang Xuanling, the two had a very happy conversation when they met, and it felt like they hated seeing each other later.

Although Li Shimin only gave Fang Xuanling an official position as an agent of Weibei Road Marching Army Record Office to join the army, Fang Xuanling had no complaints and did this job conscientiously.It was also from this moment that Fang Xuanling often followed the King of Qin on expeditions and advised King Qin Li Shimin. 】

[Other warlord forces, every time they attack and destroy one side, the people in the barracks rush to search for goods, but only Fang Xuanling first thinks of recruiting talents.

After Wang Shichong was defeated by Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling commented "suave and resourceful" when seeing the surrendered general Zhang Liang, and immediately recommended Zhang Liang to Li Shimin.

And Li Shimin also trusted Fang Xuanling's vision very much, so he even appointed Zhang Liang as the chariot and cavalry general of the Qin Palace.

In addition, there are Xue Shou who is quick-witted, Li Daliang who has "Wangling, Zhou Bojie, and great things to rely on", and Du Ruhui who has Wang Zuozhi's talent, all of whom were discovered and recommended by Fang Xuanling.

Among the people recommended by Fang Xuanling, the most famous one was Du Ruhui.

There was a time when Du Ruhui was about to be transferred out of the Prince's Mansion, Fang Xuanling immediately said to Li Shimin: "A lot of handsome people in the Prince's Mansion have been transferred out, and I don't feel sorry for others. Only Du Ruhui is different, if you want to manage the Quartet , It is only this person who can win the world."

Later facts also proved that Du Ruhui was very insightful in judging major issues, and Fang Xuanling cooperated with him very well, and the two also left behind the allusion of "Fang Conspiracy to End Judgment", which became an endlessly circulated in the official circles at that time and later generations. A good story. 】

Liu Bang admired sincerely: "One heart and one mind for the lord, this is simply a model of a minister!"

"Fang Mou Du Jue, Taizong's right-hand man is naturally extraordinary!" Li Longji said with You Rongyan.

"Oh, is there only one Zhang Juzheng in my Ming Dynasty?" Zhu Yuanzhang was a little unwilling, and he couldn't help but re-examine his actions in history, whether he had ever discouraged those officials?

"It's really enviable." When Yang Guang said this, he couldn't help grinning, and said, "But now these two people will be my people!"

[Before the Xuanwumen Incident came, Qin Wang Li Shimin and Prince Li Jiancheng were already in conflict.

In order to stabilize the crown prince, Li Jiancheng first made a small report to Li Yuan, clearing Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui out of Li Shimin's Prince's Mansion.

Without the help of Fang and Du, Li Shimin fell into life-threatening crises many times.

Li Shimin, who had been in danger for many times, finally made up his mind to take Fang and Du back secretly, and with their help, Qin Wang Li Shimin successfully launched this extremely important coup.

After eliminating the main opponent, Li Shimin also became the emperor as he wished. 】

[After Li Shimin ascended the throne, he appointed Fang Xuanling as Shangshu Zuopushe, and performed the post of prime minister.

During his 22-year career as a prime minister, Fang Xuanling was loyal and devoted himself to the governance of Zhenguan.

He worked day and night, taking care of everything by himself, and even condescended to double as a "Duzhi doctor", taking care of the financial budget and accounts by himself.

His busyness made Li Shimin feel unbearable, and he even advised him not to make himself too tired, but Fang Xuanling remained the same, unmoved. 】

[Fang Xuanling is well aware of the principle of "full recruiting hurts, modesty benefits". When Li Shimin awarded him the title of "Prince and Junior Teacher", he requested to be relieved of his confidential position and withdraw from the power center.Li Shimin not only refused to approve, but also ordered him not to continue to express his request on the same issue again.

When the crown prince prepared the guard of honor to pay a formal visit to the teacher, Fang Xuanling never dared to accept such a courtesy.

Even though Fang Xuanling was in the prime position, he was still courteous and courteous, prudently maintaining the way of monarch and minister. 】

[Throughout Fang Xuanling's life, his contributions are innumerable:

Before Zhenguan, he assisted Li Shimin in managing the Quartet, leveling the heroes, and seizing the throne. Li Shimin praised him for "planning strategies and establishing the country".

In Zhenguan, he held the posts of Zhongshuling, Shangshu Zuopushe, Sikong, etc., and was in charge of Baisi. He was in charge of government affairs for 22 years.Participated in the formulation of laws and regulations, and presided over the revision of laws and regulations and imperial edicts. The "Zhenguan Law" he participated in the formulation laid the foundation for the later "Yonghui Law" and the oldest and most complete feudal criminal code in China "Tang Law Shuyi" .

He also practiced Tang rites with Wei Zheng, adjusted government agencies, and provincial and central officials were the leaders of good governance in Zhenguan.
He is good at employing people, he does not choose people for the sake of preparation, he does not ask whether he is high or low, he assigns appointments according to his aptitude, abides by his duties, and does not claim credit for himself. Later generations use him and Du Ruhui as models of good looks.

"Old Tang Book" praised: "The text contains the classics and latitudes, and the depth is supplemented. Sheng and Qing are the same sound, but Fang and Du are the only ones." Because Xuanling is good at planning, Ruhui is good at making decisions, so it is known in history as "Fang Mou and Du Jue". 】

[Fang Xuanling's merits are far more than these, the descendants have a very high evaluation of him,

Someone gave Fang Xuanling such an evaluation as "the stars hold the moon and the moon are flat, and the night sky is bright and the moon is bright". He is wise and low-key. 】
