    "Elder Guo, you are very talented. You have been in charge of government for decades and have won my trust. Even Lao Ba and Your Majesty also have great trust in you" Wu Zetian looked at Di Renjie and said, "But you are old after all.  She is old and her energy is hard to save, so it is better to retreat bravely and leave the burden to the young people. " These words are quite heartfelt, and only Di Renjie, a person whom she appreciates very much, can speak in such a tone.  "Thank you, the Holy Empress." Di Renjie stood up and saluted Wu Zetian to express his thanks.  "Your Majesty, I am old and lack of energy, so I may not be qualified for the job. I would like to ask your Majesty's permission to allow me to give way to talents." Di Renjie bowed to Li Longji and formally resigned.  "Yeah." Li Longji admired it very much.  It is inevitable to select a group of new people to replace old people like Di Renjie.  Even if Wu Zetian didn't say it, Li Longji would do it.  Wu Zetian mentioned that she persuaded Di Renjie to give up his talents, which saved Li Longji a lot of trouble.  "I have worked hard for my country for decades, and my hard work has been so great that few people can match it. On this occasion of defeating the Great Eclipse, I should have joined hands with me to achieve great things. However, I am old and have low energy, so I have to bear with it."  You give way." Li Longji admired Di Renjie very much and said, "Although the old man has retired, he can still use his spare energy to contribute to the Tang Dynasty." "Thank you, Your Majesty." Di Renjie breathed a sigh of relief.  Take off your burden and assume a relaxed posture.  It¡¯s no wonder that Di Renjie has worked hard for the country for decades and never slacked off.  Now that he was finally relieved of his burden, he could breathe a sigh of relief and feel relaxed both physically and mentally.  "Your Majesty, your Majesty, Wang Xiaojie is old and his body is not as strong as before. It is difficult for him to handle heavy military duties. Your Majesty, please resign from the post of Secretary of the Ministry of War." Wang Xiaojie did not wait for Wu Zetian's persuasion.  He suddenly stood up and asked Li Longji to resign.  Wang Xiaojie is not young anymore. In addition, he has suffered many injuries from long years of fighting. His body is not as good as Di Renjie's. It is time to retire.  "Yeah." Wu Zetian looked at Di Renjie with a smile on her face, admiring it.  He said: "Wang Xiaojie is knowledgeable and knowledgeable, that's good!" He turned to a higher tone and praised: "Wang Xiaojie, you have been in the army for decades and have been fighting for a lifetime.  What a great achievement, even compared to Duke Wei, it can be said that you will be happy in life!" "Haha!" Wu Zetian's words were meant for him.  The great affirmation of the battle made him extremely happy.  What makes Wang Xiaojie happy the most is.  Wu Zetian actually compared him with Li Jing.  You know, Li Jing was the God of War in the Tang Dynasty, a famous general with an eternal reputation.  Li Jing's life is full of legend. He fought throughout his life. First, he made great contributions to the founding of the Tang Dynasty. He also pacified Jiangnan and Lingnan.  At that time, the Tang army attacked in two groups, one led by Tang Taizong and the other led by Li Xiaogong.  Li Xiaogong was born in a clan. Although he was talented, he was far inferior to Li Jing.  The actual command of this large army was in the hands of Li Jing. It was Li Jing who single-handedly planned and directed the battles to pacify Jiangnan and Lingnan, and achieved great success.  After the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, Li Jing fought many battles and made great military achievements. The most famous one was the destruction of the Eastern Turks, and the second was the defeat of Tuyuhun.  Wang Xiaojie was actually compared to Li Jing, not to mention how happy Wang Xiaojie was.  "The Holy Queen is ridiculously praising me. I don't dare to take the position. I don't dare to take the position." Wang Xiaojie said with a look of reverence on his face: "Dong Wei is my role model for the generals of the Tang Dynasty. If Wang Xiaojie can match him, I will be happy for the rest of my life.  " Li Jing not only had peerless military talent, but also had a well-known good moral character. He was indeed a model for the generals of the Tang Dynasty.  "Wang Xiaojie, you have fought all your life and made great achievements. You have even defeated the Turks and slaughtered millions of Turks. You are not inferior to Li Jing." Li Longji praised.  "Really? Your Majesty, do you really think so?" Wang Xiaojie's eyes suddenly widened in disbelief.  Compared with Li Jing, he hasn't thought about it yet.  Li Longji also praised it so much that he had to re-examine it.  "Not only does Your Majesty think so, but I also think so." Li Dan said with a smile: "The Turks are rampant and the north is in danger. Wang Xiaojie, you are ordered to do so at the critical moment. Moreover, it is not easy to lead troops into battle and be slandered." Mo Mo.  Chu originally wanted to reduce the north to ruins so that the Tang Dynasty could not gather a large number of troops in the north in a short period of time, so that he could send his troops north to pacify Mobei and restore the Eastern Turks.  Wu Zetian entrusted Wang Xiaojie with the important task of pacifying the Turks. Wang Xiaojie was indeed given the task at the critical moment and shouldered the heavy responsibility.  ¡°Moreover, he was slandered by Wu Sansi, who falsely accused him of treason.  It was not easy for him to achieve such a great victory.  "I don't dare to take it! I don't dare to take it!" Wang Xiaojie saidHe shook his head and said: "This is all because the Queen is wise and trusts her ministers." It must be said that Wu Sansi slandered Wang Xiaojie and accused him of treason, which was indeed a cruel move. However, Wu Zetian was wise and did not blame Wang Xiaojie.  Not only did he not blame Wang Xiaojie, he also reprimanded Wu Sansi and gave Wang Xiaojie the Shangfang Sword. This led to the subsequent great victory in which millions of people were slaughtered.  "Wang Xiaojie, I agree with your request." Li Longji nodded and said, "You are old and have many old injuries on your body. It will not be good for you if you continue to work on military affairs. Take off your burden and work hard."  It is also necessary to rest and recuperate. But you can still make suggestions for Datang." At this point, Li Longji's tone was slightly higher and he said: "Next, Datang will train its troops and horses at least fifty times.  Wan Dajun, with your rich battle experience, can you supervise the training? "It would be impossible to conquer the Arab Empire with the existing military strength of the Tang Dynasty.  Training a large number of soldiers and horses has become inevitable.  With Wang Xiaojie's rich combat experience, it would definitely be a good idea to let him supervise military training.  The Minister of War is in charge of the overall situation, and the military affairs that need to be handled are particularly heavy, and Wang Xiaojie's body cannot bear it.  But military training is only one aspect of military service, and his body can bear it.  Moreover, his rich battle experience will also play a role, and the soldiers and horses he trains will definitely be able to adapt to the needs of the battle.  This is a beautiful thing that kills two birds with one stone.  "Your Majesty is wise." Zhang said that they greatly agreed with Li Longji's statement.  "Haha." Wang Xiaojie was overjoyed and smiled very happily, saying: "I can still do things for the Tang Dynasty. Good!" "Di Renjie resigned as prime minister. Wang Xiaojie resigned as minister of the Ministry of War. You all tell me, who will do it?  Is it appropriate to take over?" Li Longji's eyes flashed as he glanced at the ministers.  The prime minister is the head of the civil servants, and the Minister of War is the head of the military generals. One civil servant, one military officer, one general and one prime minister. They could be replaced within one day. This had never happened before in the history of the Tang Dynasty.  If it is under normal circumstances.  There is no need to replace it so soon, but now time waits for no one, so I have to dispose of it quickly.  The sooner the preparations for the war with the Arab Empire are completed and started, the better it will be for the Tang Dynasty.  Precisely because of this, Li Longji even skipped the celebration of his accession to the throne.     brush!  Everyone¡¯s eyes fell on Yao Chong.     brush!  Then, they all fell on Zhang Shuo.  A general and a prime minister are born between these two people.  Yao Chong¡¯s political talents are beyond praise, and everyone is convinced.  Moreover, he has extraordinary moral character.  No one can find fault with his moral character, and it is very suitable for him to take over as prime minister.     but.  Zhang said he also had the talents of a prime minister, although he was mainly engaged in military affairs at the moment. He had fought with Li Longji for several years and accumulated rich battle experience.  It's not that his political talents are not good, on the contrary, Zhang said his political talents are very good and everyone is convinced.  Zhang said that he had been an official in the court longer than Yao Chong. If he became prime minister, no one would have anything to say.  "Let's talk about the prime minister first. Who is suitable to be the prime minister?" Li Longji asked.  The officials looked at Yao Chong and Zhang Shuo, but no one said anything.  It is really difficult to choose a prime minister between these two people.  "Grandma, you discovered and promoted Yao Chong and Zhang Shuo. Who do you think is suitable to be prime minister?" Li Longji asked with a smile.  Yao Chong, Zhang Shuo, and Song Jing, although they were famous officials in Kaiyuan, were discovered and promoted by Wu Zetian. She was very familiar with these two people.  "Well." Wu Zetian said thoughtfully: "You all think that Yao Chongzheng is very talented, but you don't know that he is also proficient in military art. It's just that he doesn't have such an opportunity as Zhang said to follow His Majesty in battle and accumulate battle experience. In a word, Yao Chongzheng is very talented.  He believed in being versatile in both civil and military affairs. "Although Yao Chong is famous for his political talents, he also has good military talents. He once made many military exploits at the border, which is recorded in the history books.  recorded.  In fact, most of the prime ministers of the Tang Dynasty had good political talents and started their careers with military exploits.  This is a confirmation of the prosperity of martial arts in the Tang Dynasty.  "Zhang said, although he has been following His Majesty for several years and is very familiar with military affairs, he has extraordinary political talents and can handle government affairs well." Wu Zetian stroked his forehead and said, "It's really hard to decide. This requires  Let¡¯s see how Your Majesty decides.¡± Wu Zetian is known for identifying people and discovering talents. Even she felt a little headache, and it was even more difficult for others to make a decision.  ¡°In fact, these two people are generally excellent and both are versatile in both civil and military affairs. It is really difficult to make a choice.  "In that case, I will make my own decision." Li Longji nodded and said, "Yao Chong, you can be the prime minister." "Your Majesty, I want you to be the prime minister."So, but it has to be supplemented by Song Jing.  "Yao Chong did not agree outright, but instead put forward conditions. "Prime Minister, this is a high-ranking official below one person and above ten thousand people. If it were another person, he would definitely agree with pleasure. It's good that he actually wants to make conditions. "  worship.  Li Dan shouted softly and said, "Don't talk nonsense."  If you want to be treated as such, then be treated as such.  " He was trying to protect Yao Chong, fearing that Li Longji would be unhappy. "Your Majesty, some people think that they are not as upright as Song Jing. But right now, there are countless things to be done to get rid of the long-standing abuses. Many of them are trying their best to do this.  Keep your official position.  The person who should handle these difficult matters must be Song Jing.  "Zhang said, but he spoke. He seemed to be disparaging Yao Chong, but in fact he was talking about Yao Chong's thoughts. "Oh.  "Everyone was stunned. "In the entire dynasty, no one can compare with Song Jing in terms of uprightness and selflessness, not even Yao Chong and Zhang Shuo. And in the process of eradicating the long-standing abuses, Song Jing's character is exactly what the faction wants.  When it comes to great use, the process of eradicating long-standing abuses is to remove those people who are paid to do nothing, or who hold unfair positions, and are unwilling to give up their positions. They will definitely not be willing to do so, and will try every means to keep their positions.  It will be used. This requires an upright and selfless person to deal with it. Who else can do it than Song Jing? (To be continued.)
