The prosperous age of Kaiyuan is a monument in Chinese history, extremely glorious, and there are very few that can compare with it. The reason why it is so brilliant is that Li Longji discovered and reused a large number of talents, the most famous of which are Yao Chong, Song Jing, Zhang Shuo, Han Xiu, Zhang Jiuling, Zhang Jiazhen, Li Yuanfu and others. Among these famous figures from the Kaiyuan Dynasty, Song Jing is definitely the most distinguished in terms of uprightness. When it comes to daring to "speak", it's not the upright Song Jing, but Han Xiu. To what extent does Han Xiu dare to "speak"? Tell me one thing and your friends will know. Han Xiu dared to say things that others dared not say or dare to say. Even if it offended Li Longji and made Li Longji fly into a rage and smash things in front of Han Xiu's face, he would still say what he should say, and he would say it as he should. , I won¡¯t stop talking just because Li Longji is angry. If it had been anyone else, Li Longji would have shut up when he was so angry, but Han Xiu did not. This shows how far he dared to speak. ???????????????????? This kind of thing doesn¡¯t happen once or twice, but many times. Although Han Xiu angered Li Longji many times, and Li Longji also cursed Han Xiu, what is unexpected is that Li Longji's trust in Han Xiu did not diminish at all. Not only has it not decreased, but it has become more trusting. Some people thought this was incredible and asked Li Longji, "Han Xiu has gone too far and angered His Majesty many times. Why don't you demote him out of the capital? Out of sight is out of mind. Why do you want to keep him?" When Li Longji heard this, he was very unhappy and gave the person who said this a lesson. Then, Li Longji explained the reason. He said that quarreling with Han Xiu was for the sake of the world. There is only justice in this quarrel. No selfish motives. Han Xiu dared to offend me. He dares to say things that others dare not say, and dares to say things that others dare not say, because he is dedicated to serving the public good. ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Did you know? After my quarrel with Han Xiu, I slept very soundly. If I don't argue with Han Xiu for a day, I will lose sleep and always wonder if something went wrong? During the Kaiyuan period, Li Longji had such great magnanimity that he rediscovered and reused capable ministers and critics like Han Xiu. Only then created the glorious Kaiyuan era. " Later generations accused Li Longji of being ungrateful, saying that none of the major ministers of his Kaiyuan era had long-term appointments. In fact, this is not true. It should be said that this is the shrewdness of Li Longji. ?? Several famous prime ministers in the prosperous Kaiyuan era have one thing in common, that is, they only served as prime minister for a few years before being demoted by Li Longji. Why did he do this? It should be said that Li Longji had good intentions and was trying to protect these people. ?Throughout history. Anyone who controls government affairs for a long time, no matter how good his character is. No matter how outstanding your talents are, most of them are difficult to end well. Why is this happening? Because if you manage government for a long time, you will have disciples and former officials all over the world, and eventually a force will be formed that can influence the government. In the end, in order to solve the problem, the emperor had to go on a killing spree to eliminate his power. Every prime minister only serves for a few years, and when he is done, he finds an excuse to demote him from the capital. This kind of thing will not happen. This point is not the invention of Li Longji, but the invention of Emperor Guangwu of Han Dynasty. When Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty restored the Han Dynasty, there were "Twenty-Eight Generals of Yuntai". These twenty-eight people had outstanding achievements, but Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty almost all of them were saved. Because the method adopted by Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty was to stop using all but a few people and let them stay at home. To handle national affairs, a group of responsible and talented young people will be employed. Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty did not forget these heroes. Whenever there was a festival or major celebration, he would think of them, let them participate, and give them high courtesy. If there are strange objects and foreign objects sent as tribute from foreign countries, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty will first think of these heroes and will reward them. The advantage of this is that the heroes have merit but no power and cannot influence the government. The new officials have power, but they are still making achievements. They have no influence and cannot influence the government. This led to the reputation of Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty for not killing heroes. This is what Li Longji did. Between being demoted from the capital and having his family confiscated and exterminated, there is no need to say who is good and who is bad. Looking at Han Xiu sitting on the golden pier, the eyes of all the scholars were burning, and they wished they could change with him. ???????? Han Xiu has come out on top, who wouldn¡¯t envy him? Han Xiu was also proud, held his head high and was very excited. How many times can such an encounter occur in a lifetime? Who could not be excited? In the next test, these scholars showed extraordinary talents. Among them, Zhang Jiuling, Zhang Jiazhen, and Li Yuanfu were the most extraordinary. Li Longji was very satisfied. Yao Chong, Song Jing, Zhang Shuo, Han Xiu, Zhang Jiuling, Zhang Jiazhen, Li Yuanfu, these famous figures from the Kaiyuan period gathered together, which means that a prosperous age can be expected, and LiAre you not satisfied? "You are very good, I am satisfied." Li Longji admired these scholars very much, and said: "You already know that the Tang Dynasty is preparing to defeat the Great Eclipse and solve the great trouble in the west. The Great Eclipse is what the Tang Dynasty encountered. The most powerful opponent is a powerful enemy that cannot be underestimated. To defeat Dashi, we not only need a strong army, but also a large number of talented young officials who need to go to foreign lands to experience and handle government affairs. You are willing to go forward. "Go?" Li Longji decided to put them in a foreign land to experience and practice, so that they can accumulate enough experience and open their eyes and gain knowledge, so that they will be even better. "Yes." Han Xiu and Zhang Jiuling readily agreed. People in the Tang Dynasty were all proud of military achievements. If they could go to foreign lands to contribute, who wouldn't want to? "Well, I will send you to a foreign land." Li Longji immediately issued an order. After the arrangements were made, these scholars rushed to the foreign land. Han Xiu and Zhang Jiuling went to Tianzhu, and Zhang Jiazhen and Li Yuanfu went to the Western Regions. Although Zhang Jianzhi is great, after all, he is too old to support him for a few years, so it is necessary to send two people there. With the national policy being rolled out and going smoothly, and talents being recruited, Li Longji believed that it was time to deal with military strategy. On this day, Li Longji summoned Yao Chong, Song Jing, Zhang Shuo, Di Renjie, Wang Xiaojie, Zhong Shaojing and Liu Youqiu to discuss military strategy. "After Zhang Shuo took charge of the Ministry of War, he made great efforts to reform and prosper. All measures were carried out smoothly. I am satisfied." Li Longji affirmed Zhang Shuo's efforts. There is really nothing to say about the talent Zhang mentioned. After he took charge of the Ministry of War, he was very handy. Under his promotion, various reforms were carried out smoothly. The most important thing is to use the sudden army system to cancel the government army system and allow the Tang Dynasty to have a wider range of soldiers. "Yeah." Everyone nodded heavily in approval. Even Yao Chong, who had a disagreement with Zhang, was surprisingly not critical. "There is one thing that Zhang said he ignored." Li Longji said. "I dare to ask Your Majesty. What's the matter?" Zhang said, stunned. After he took charge of the Ministry of War, he made great efforts to rectify it and worked on every aspect he could think of. How could he ignore anything? "Yes, Your Majesty." Everyone was also stunned. "I think you have neglected to train generals and lieutenants." Li Longji reminded. "This Your Majesty, a general needs talent as well as a master." Zhang said after thinking for a while, he said: "Gong Wei passed the art of war to Su Dingfang, and Su Dingfang passed it on to Pei Xingjian. Fang has three generations of famous generals. If there is no understanding "Master, it's not easy to train generals." "Generals are difficult to train. How can you use them after reading a few military books?" That's impossible. To become a famous general, you not only need extraordinary talent, but also the guidance of a master. In the Tang Dynasty, the most famous person was the successor of Li Jing's Art of War. Li Jing is a world-famous general. His military skills are so extraordinary that Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty asked him to teach them to all the generals. Hou Junji thought that Li Jing was hiding something secret, so he complained to Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty. Li Jing said that the art of war he taught was enough, but Hou Junji was not satisfied and wanted to rebel. Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty took this as a joke and didn't take it to heart at all. Later, Hou Junji actually rebelled, and then Emperor Taizong realized that Li Jing had the ability to predict the future. Later, Li Jing passed on his military skills to Su Dingfang, and Su Dingfang became a famous general and destroyed the Western Turks. Su Dingfang passed Li Jing's art of war to Pei Xingjian, and Pei Xingjian also became a famous general. In the Battle of Montenegro, the Turks suffered heavy casualties. "Li Jing's art of war has produced three generations of famous generals. This is a beautiful story. "Zhang said, you are right, but it is not comprehensive." Li Longji not only agreed with what Zhang said, but also pointed out its flaws. Everyone¡¯s eyes were widened and their ears were perked up, listening to Li Longji¡¯s explanation. "Think about it, there are so many scholars in the world, how many of them can learn and be good at serving as officials?" Li Longji began to analyze, saying: "In the Tang Dynasty, there were schools in every county, and the academic style was flourishing. There are not many people who can become the pillars of the imperial court. However, many officials can be trained, and many officials who can do practical things are not the pillars of the Tang Dynasty, but they can still play a role and contribute to the Tang Dynasty." He paused and said: "So, the Tang Dynasty can learn from the academy and set up a academy specifically to train generals and lieutenants. Those trained may not necessarily all be famous generals, but it will make them more outstanding and able to fight wars." Come and become more skillful." Becoming a famous general requires talent. If you don't have extraordinary talent, it's useless. "However, if a famous general does not have a group of subordinates who can use him easily, it is impossible to succeed. The main purpose of establishing a military academy is to train these subordinates. "It makes sense." Everyone agreed in unison. "Wang Xiaojie, you once wanted to pass on your art of war to me" Li ???Ji said to Wang Xiaojie. When Li Longji first entered the battlefield, Wang Xiaojie wanted to take Li Longji as his disciple and teach him his art of war. "Your Majesty, you are making fun of me. I am short-sighted and don't know that your Majesty has received the gift from heaven." Wang Xiaojie was a little embarrassed and his old face turned red. At that time, he wanted to accept Li Longji as his disciple, but he did not expect that Li Longji was no worse than him. When talking about the art of war, Wang Xiaojie gave up this thought. "No!" Li Longji shook his head and said, "Your idea is very good. It would be even better if more people could learn your art of war." "What your Majesty means is that Datang is going to organize a In such a school, ministers teach students?" Wang Xiaojie's eyes lit up. "That's right." Li Longji affirmed and said, "Not only can you teach apprentices, but Liu Youqiu, Zhong Shaojing, and Zhang Shuo can also teach apprentices." One hand. Although Zhong Shaojing is a scholar, he has learned a lot from Wanqi for many years. It is also a good choice for him to be his apprentice. Zhang said not to mention, he personally commanded many battles, such as the massacre of millions of Turks, the battle to destroy Tibet, and the defeat of Gu Taibai, all of which were commanded by him. ¡°He has both a view of the overall situation and experience in commanding large-scale operations. If he comes to teach, there will be a good response. "What your Majesty means is that as long as we open such a school, anyone who has made achievements in the art of war can be taught as apprentices. Anyone who wants to make military achievements and has a flexible mind can learn the art of war." Zhang said that he is a A good summarizer, summed up in one sentence. (To be continued)
