Edit the history, and count the top ten emperors at the beginning!

Chapter 287 Friends of Commoners, Taoist Prime Minister - Li Qin

[Zhao Pu's contribution to the Northern Song Dynasty can be divided into three stages.

The first stage is the pinnacle of Zhao Pu's life. If there is no Zhao Pu, Zhao Kuangyin's limit may be a general in Hou Zhou, helpless when Hou Zhou gradually declines, and finally becomes a part of history.

It was precisely because of the Chenqiao mutiny planned by Zhao Pu that Zhao Kuangyin was able to embark on the route of fighting for hegemony, and every step he took after that was actually Zhao Pu's advice.

The second stage was in the early days of the establishment of the Northern Song Dynasty. Zhao Pu and Zhao Kuangyin had a conversation, which allowed Zhao Kuangyin to use "a cup of wine to release the power of soldiers" to solve those generals who held heavy soldiers, and later completed reforms for Zhao Kuangyin, making the national power of the Northern Song Dynasty Straight up.

In the last stage, in the ensuing war of unification, Zhao Pu and Zhao Kuangyin set a policy of first south and then north, first easy and then difficult, which allowed the Northern Song Dynasty to complete the unification of the south, so Zhao Kuangyin trusted Zhao Pu very much, even It can be said to be grateful.

But we all know that Zhao Pu is not a perfect civil servant. He corrupted the law, smuggled timber in violation of the ban, and expanded the mansion. If he was under Zhu Yuanzhang instead of Zhao Kuangyin, he might not survive two episodes.

To sum up, Zhao Pu ranks seventh among the top ten counselors in history, and he deserves his name. 】

Su Qian's words were very straightforward, and Zhao Kuangyin seemed somewhat entangled, "Zhao Pu has abilities, but his character is a bit weak. But if one of my subordinates has a name like Zhuge Liang, Zhao Pu I'm afraid I won't even be prime minister."

Indeed, Zhao Pu is already the most powerful adviser under Zhao Kuangyin, but his ability is only first-rate.

"Song Taizu didn't have any more powerful advisers at that time, didn't he? Zhao Pu was very shady, but he seemed to be a bit small when he did big things." Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di also dismissed Zhao Pu, but there was another reason that their subordinates The counselors are only stronger than Zhao Pu, but not weaker.

After a short break, the video quickly came to the flag,

[Hi everyone, welcome to this short video: Inventory of the top ten counselors in Chinese history! 】

【Producer: Su Qian】

[The sixth of the top ten counselors in Chinese history: the emperor's teacher, the elder of the four dynasties, Li Qin! 】

[Li Mi, whose style name is Changyuan, was born in Tang Dynasty during the prosperous Kaiyuan period of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty.

It was the best of times and the worst of times.

Under the leadership of Emperor Xuanzong Li Longji of the Tang Dynasty, the national power of the Tang Dynasty flourished and became the most powerful kingdom in the world at that time.

But soon, under the leadership of Tang Xuanzong, the Tang Dynasty will suddenly fall into the abyss, and finally perish after a long period of darkness.

And Li Mi, in his life, became the most dazzling light in the darkness, brilliant and dazzling.

If Guo Ziyi is the No.1 general in the Mid-Tang Dynasty, then Li Mi is the No. [-] counselor in the Mid-Tang Dynasty, without a doubt! 】

Li Longji grinned when he saw this, and said, "Guo Ziyi, Li Qin! One martial art and one literary work, now my arms are complete!!"

"How is this Li Qin compared to Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui?" Although Li Shimin had many advisors, with his character of loving talents, he wanted to poach them when he saw them.

In Su Dingfang's world, Li Zhi looked at the light curtain in the sky, and said with some sourness: "Those old people left behind by my father walked around and died. I also want some powerful people to make a prescription for me. Can you help me?" Can you dig some people over?"

[There is no doubt that Li Qin is a genius.

He has been extremely intelligent since he was a child, dabbled in classics and history, and worked in poetry and books. He often claimed to be Wang Zuozhi's talent, and he was called an "odd boy" when he was very young.

In the 16th year of Kaiyuan (728 A.D.), Li Mi, who was only seven years old, was called into Beijing by Tang Xuanzong Li Longji.

When he entered the palace for an audience, Li Longji was playing chess with Prime Minister Zhang Shuo. In order to examine Li Mi's intelligence, Zhang Shuo said casually: "A square is like a chess game, a round is like a chess piece, moving is like a chess, and static is like a chess is dead." Then Let Li Mi use the four characters "square, round, dynamic, and static" and compose sentences like this.

Li Mi opened his mouth and said: "Fang is like doing righteousness, being round is using wisdom, moving like being talented, and being quiet is like being proud." As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.

Li Longji was overjoyed, and Dang even bestowed money, and issued a special edict to let his parents cultivate him well.

Moreover, the famous courtiers Zhang Jiuling, Zhang Tinggui and others at that time also formed friends with Li Mi and often called him "little friend" affectionately, which shows how talented Li Qin is. 】

"Why do I feel that I don't live in the same world as him?"

"Bullshit, you are a farmer with his face facing the loess and his back facing the sky, while others are descending from the stars in the sky, can it be the same?"

"What's wrong with the farmers? What kind of fart do you have without farmers farming?"

"Occupation does not distinguish between high and low, don't be scolded!"

"That being said, the world is not fair after all."

"."

[Although Li Mi was appreciated by the emperor and courtiers, the strange thing is that he has no intention of official career, but loves mountains and rivers, admires the art of old villages and gods, and often travels or lives in seclusion among Songshan, Huashan and Zhongnanshan. So it gradually faded out of the public's sight.

Until the mid-term of Tianbao, Li Mi suddenly wrote a letter to Li Longji, and bluntly pointed out the gains and losses of the government at that time.

Li Longji immediately recruited Li Bi to enter the court, granted him the post of waiting for imperial edict in Hanlin, and went to the East Palace to assist Prince Li Heng.

Li Heng respected Li Mi very much and often called him "Sir", but strictly speaking, Hanlin Daizhao was just a literary attendant, not a real official.

Therefore, Li Heng and Li Mi have actually been "friends of the common people".

A few years later, Li Mi offended the treacherous official Yang Guozhong because of a "Poem of Feelings of Encounter", and was immediately expelled from the capital.

Afterwards, Li Mi hid in Songshan, Henan, and began her life of seclusion. 】

[Soon, the time came to Tang Xuanzong Tianbao 14th year (AD 755), An Lushan rebelled against the Tang Dynasty.The once incomparably splendid Tang Dynasty suddenly collapsed, and Tang Xuanzong and his son abandoned Chang'an and fled south.

At the foot of Mawei slope, the later Tang Suzong Li Heng and the current Tang Xuanzong Li Longji parted ways.

After Li Heng went north to Lingwu, he immediately thought of his "Mr." Li Mi, and immediately sent someone to Songshan to search for him, hoping that Li Mi could come out to help him.

After Li Mi saw the envoy, without any hesitation, he immediately followed the envoy to Lingwu day and night.From then on, Li Mi stayed by Li Heng's side as a commoner, advising him. 】

[During this period, Tang Suzong Li Heng repeatedly wanted to grant Li Mi an official position, but he refused all of them.

Later, Li Heng announced the appointment of Li Qin as the commander of the military country and the marshal's mansion.

And this so-called "serving the military and the country" is an official position specially tailored by Li Heng for Li Mi, which makes Li Qin reluctantly take up the position. 】

[The reason why Li Mi refuses to be an official is first of all because of his personality.

He has always despised the world's fame and fortune, especially those who do anything for power and wealth.Therefore, even if he had to go out of the mountain, Li Mi hoped that he would always maintain a detached mentality and would not be bound by worldly fame and fortune.

The more important reason is that in the later period of Li Longji's administration, the most serious problem was that "the monarch despises the title" and "people covet the precious pet".

That is to say, since the emperor was indiscriminate in granting rewards and did not cherish the imperial ranks, all the officials of course only wanted to flatter the emperor and win wealth, honor and favor with all their heart.

What Li Mi wants to do is to eradicate the long-standing abuses of Tianbao politics, so through his own behavior, on the one hand, he set an example for the civil and military officials of Suzong's court, so that "people do not regard official positions as valuable but meritorious deeds, and do not use false names On the other hand, Tang Suzong Li Heng's court developed a healthy atmosphere of "cherishing honors and rewards" and "not being greedy for glory and profit". 】
