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

Chapter 139 The Advocate Minister Through the Ages, People Mirror Wei Zheng

[Yao Chong's ten suggestions are all for the country and the people, basically without any selfishness.

When Xuanzong heard it, he felt that these were good ideas, so he agreed, accepted them all, and solemnly promised to implement them.

Therefore, Yao Chong became the prime minister, and together with Tang Xuanzong opened the door to the "Kaiyuan Prosperous Age"! 】

[In three years, Yao Chong "became the only heavy responsibility", turning a Tang Dynasty that had declined due to a coup into a Tang Dynasty full of vigor and vitality, and laid a good foundation for the "Kaiyuan Prosperous Age". It has the reputation of "saving the time".

Sima Guang said in "Zizhi Tongjian" that "there was Fang Du before, and Yao Song later", and he called Yao Chong together with Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, which shows Yao Chong's status in history. 】

[However, Yao Chong resigned from the position of prime minister after only three years in office. The reason in the memorandum was that his subordinates accepted bribes. Yao Chong felt deeply guilty, so he took the blame and resigned.

In fact, this is just a face-saving talk. The real reason is Yao Chong's "monopolistic power". After doing it for a long time, it will inevitably arouse Tang Xuanzong's suspicion.

There is another more important reason, and that is his two trouble-loving "ancestors".

Yao Chong knew that his two sons usually used his name to attract guests and accept bribes, and Xuanzong was well aware of these bad things. If the emperor wanted to turn his face one day, it would be difficult for his family to survive.

Therefore, when Yao Chong saw that Xuanzong attached so much importance to the bribery case of his handwritten documents, he probably understood Xuanzong's intentions, so he took the initiative to resign, taking into account the etiquette of the monarch and his ministers, and preserving his family. It is really a wise move .

If Yao Chong hadn't retired so early, and had resolutely carried out his ten things, Kaiyuan's prosperous age might have lasted longer than in history. 】

Tang Xuanzong's thoughts were punctured, and his face was somewhat embarrassed, but he still forced himself to defend himself: "I am no longer what I used to be, and I will definitely not do this kind of self-destruction of the Great Wall again."

However, most emperors have done this kind of thing more or less.

【While Yao Chong resigned as prime minister, he recommended Song Jing, who was more than ten years younger than him.

Although Song Jing was relatively young, his official qualifications were very deep, and he once worked with Yao Chong in Tang Ruizong, and was demoted from Beijing to recommend Song Jing to inherit his position. I found a reliable "backer" by myself.

And Yao Chong himself continued to participate in the central decision-making with the highest honorary official position of "Kaifu Yitong Sansi".

Until the ninth year of Kaiyuan, 72-year-old Yao Chong died in Chang'an and got a good death. 】

[Yao Chong has experienced five dynasties, three ups and downs, and in the constant political vortex of "changing the king's banner at the top of the city", he has never suffered a major blow or injury, and he can always land safely in the end. Self-protection is related to his deep familiarity with official politics, which is enough to see that he is a politician with outstanding IQ and EQ.

Yao Chong's first two dismissals were due to political chaos.And the third dismissal was due to covering up cronies, treating them as "one of my own", losing principles, and adding "protecting the calf" to taint the stigma.

[When Yao Chong's task of "adapting changes to the affairs of the world" has been completed, and the institutional management of "keeping the text to uphold the integrity of the world" is needed, he also proposed "ten things" to carry out reforms. Made a great contribution. 】

[As a famous politician and reformer in the Tang Dynasty, Yao Chong stabilized the social unrest, assisted Xuanzong in creating the "Golden Age of Kaiyuan", and deserved the reputation of "the prime minister who saved the time".

To sum up, Yao Chong ranks eighth among the top ten famous figures in history, and he deserves his name! 】

After Yao Chong's stocktaking video was played, people and officials from all parallel dimensions applauded.

Although the aspect of educating his son is indeed poor, Yao Chong's contribution to the Tang Dynasty can really be said to be the key and the key.

Tang Taizong Li Shimin highly admired Yao Chong. After all, Yao Chong was a capable minister and prime minister who was absolutely loyal to Li Tang.

"It would be great if Yao Chong could come to my Zhenguan period. Our Tang Dynasty needs a talent like him!"

Liu Bang thought of his prime minister——Xiao He, "Oh, my old brothers are not worse than them at all, but the one in history, who is so confused!"

For Xiao He, Liu Bang recognized it very much, and in history, he also woke up in time. He didn't really kill Xiao He, but he also drove Xiao He away, losing a top political talent.

As for the other kings with different surnames, if the Han Dynasty wants to continue for a long time, these people may really have to deal with them in advance.

After watching the videos of the three famous figures, Lao Zhu suddenly felt that having such a capable person by his side would really save time and trouble, "Hey, I should always be alert to myself, and don't turn myself into what I was in history. alone."

Yang Guang stroked his beard while thinking: "Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui haven't heard anything yet.
Gao Jiong, the prime minister during the old father's time, seems to be very good, but I don't know where he was demoted, or should he get it back first and make do with it? "

After a short break, the video of the next person to be counted was released as scheduled.

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

[The seventh place among the top ten famous faces in history: Zhenguan famous face, admonishing minister through the ages, who mirrors Wei Zheng! 】

【Producer: Su Qian】

"Wei Zheng? Wei Zheng!!" When Tang Taizong saw the name Wei Zheng, his first reaction was to hide!

However, there is a wall of light within one meter around him, if you want to hide, you can't hide!
Why did Tang Taizong subconsciously react with fear when he saw Wei Zheng?Without it, Wei Zheng can spray too much!

During the period of Emperor Taizong Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty, virtuous ministers walked all over the place, and there were as many fierce generals as dogs. They were like bright stars in the night sky, illuminating the great Tang Dynasty.

But among this group of shining "stars", Wei Zheng is the one with the most unique light.

When it comes to Wei Zheng, everyone's first image should be his "offensive face and direct remonstrance".

Facing Tang Taizong Li Shimin, Wei Zheng was all kinds of rants!
From state affairs to Li Shimin's own living habits, all kinds of details, large and small, were not overlooked. He sprayed Tang Taizong completely, but he also sprayed Tang Taizong as a model of Mingjun. It can be said that Wei Zheng is worthy of the name. The first sprayer of the Tang Dynasty Oh no, it's the first mirror, "Human Mirror" Wei Zheng!
Not much nonsense, put up the video,

[Wei Zheng (Wei Zheng), courtesy name Xuancheng, was born in Xiaquyang County, Julu County. He was an outstanding statesman, thinker, writer and historian in the early Tang Dynasty. 】

[In the 17th year of Zhenguan (AD 643), Wei Zheng, the prince and grand master, died of illness at the age of 63.

Tang Taizong Li Shimin was very sad, and mourned Wei Zheng by abolishing the dynasty for five days.

And also posthumously presented Wei Zheng Sikong, ranked among the three princes, governor of Xiangzhou, posthumously named "Wenzhen".

This kind of posthumous title is already unique, but it is not enough. Tang Taizong Li Shimin also ordered people to hang Wei Zheng's portrait in Lingyan Pavilion, ranking fourth among the heroes. It can be said that he has infinite glory after his death. 】

Wei Zheng stared blankly at the video, and whispered in his mouth: "Sikong. Dudu Wenzhen is the fourth in Lingyan Pavilion."

After a few breaths, Wei Zheng let out a long sigh, and said, "Your Majesty, this old minister deserved his death!"
