Li Longji is handsome, versatile and handsome. He has great ambitions since he was a child. He called himself "Aunt" in the palace. Although not valued by the ruling Wu, his words and deeds are still very opinionated. Although Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty completely consolidated the imperial power after the suppression of Princess Taiping, the situation at that time was not optimistic: the mutiny greatly hurt the vitality of the imperial court, and the chaos and corruption in official administration needed to be dealt with urgently. Therefore, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty said that it is necessary to employ talents and promote talented people to be prime ministers. In this respect, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty was far-sighted and able to select talents according to the needs of the times. Such as Yao Chong, Song Jing, Zhang Shuo and Zhang Jiuling.
In the early years of Kaiyuan, the country needed to set things right and get on the right track. Xuanzong took a fancy to the resourceful and decisive Yao Chong. They met in Weichuan, and Xuanzong proposed him as the prime minister. Yao Chong put forward "ten things to say" to Xuanzong, and Xuanzong answered them one by one, and he agreed. "Ten things to say" include: don't be greedy for sideline business, speak freely, reward honest officials, don't make the royal family monopolize power, don't make eunuchs monopolize power, etc. Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty basically followed Yao Chong's suggestion. After Yao Chong came to power, he helped Xuanzong banish heroes, put an end to oblique sealing officials and punished consorts. Yao Chong also presided over the control of locust plague in the early years of Kaiyuan. At that time, the locust plague was serious in the north and south of the Yellow River, and the crops were seriously affected. Yao Chong is well aware that if locusts cannot be eliminated in time, it will not only bring huge economic losses and disasters to the people, but also be vital to national stability. He personally commanded and ordered all counties to go all out to eliminate locusts and reward them for their meritorious service. Under his vigorous promotion, the plague of locusts did not continue to spread and was quickly stopped.
After the country was gradually on the right track, Xuanzong wanted to rule the country by law. At this time, Yao Chong, who cracked down on his political opponents, took bribes, and formed cliques, stepped down. Xuanzong also took a fancy to Song Jing, who was honest and clean and principled. During his administration, he spoke out, ignored personal kindness, was strict with himself, and insisted on continuing to implement the good system of Yao Chong. He also attaches great importance to the selection and appointment of talents. Although he holds the power of state affairs, he never breaks the law. On the contrary, he is stricter with his relatives. Once, when his distant uncle Song participated in the selection of the official department, he told the examiner about his special relationship with Song Jing, hoping to take care of him and be a good official. After Song Jing learned the result, he did not intercede for him, but specially took care of the official department not to do it for other officials. Finally, Song Jing was dismissed because of her work mistakes and being too old-fashioned.
After Song Jing was deposed, Zhang took his place. Soon, Zhang, who is both civil and military, took its place. After Zhang took office, the border guards were reduced by 200,000 militarily, and the officers and men system was changed to the recruitment system. Politically, the prime minister's organization was reformed, and the "yamen" was changed to "under the Chinese book door", which increased the power of the Chinese book province. Politically, he led Ren Li Teachers College (later renamed Jixian Hall College). With the help of Zhang, Kaiyuan reached its peak. In the 13th year of Kaiyuan, under the auspices of Zhang, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty held a amenorrhea ceremony in Taishan. Several prime ministers after Zhang said that they were dismissed because of discord.
Zhang Jiuling, the last saint of Kaiyuan, was from Guangdong. At that time, Guangdong was called Lingnan, not a developed area, and criminals were often exiled there as a sign of punishment. So in people's eyes, it is a desolate and hard place. People born in Guangdong have rarely been officials in North Korea in past dynasties, so it is difficult for people there to be senior officials like prime ministers in North Korea. But Zhang Jiuling was attracted by Xuanzong because of his outstanding talent.
When he became prime minister, Zhang Jiuling, like Xuanzong, valued people's morality and talents, not their origins. When the official department participated in the selection of officials, it always advocated fair selection of talents before use. At the same time, for Xuanzong's fault, he also pointed out in time and tried to persuade him, and did not hide the truth because Xuanzong was grateful to himself.
Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty not only recognized talents, but also rectified the bureaucracy and improved the efficiency of bureaucracy. He has taken many effective measures. First, he streamlined the organization, cut redundant staff and abolished many useless officials since Wu Zetian, which not only improved efficiency, but also saved government expenses. Second, establish a strict assessment system and strengthen the management of local officials. Every October, provincial judges are sent to various places to inspect people's feelings and correct officials who violate the law, hell to pay. Third, the system of remonstrating officials and historians attending the meeting of prime ministers will be restored. This was a system in the period of Emperor Taizong, which allowed remonstrators and historians to participate in the discussion and supervision of state affairs. At the end of Wu Zetian's reign, Xu Jingzong and Li Yifu were promoted to prime ministers, and some things were afraid to be made public, so this system was abolished. Fourth, attach importance to the appointment and removal of county orders. Tang Xuanzong believed that county and county officials were at the forefront of state governance, dealing directly with the people and representing the national image. Therefore, Xuanzong often personally tested county officials to see if they were really competent. If you do well in the exam, you can be promoted immediately. If you fail to live up to expectations, you will be fired immediately.
Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty knows how to be good at people's duties, has clear rewards and punishments, and is capable and decisive, which is the main reason why he can create a prosperous new century.
After creating a prosperous time, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty gradually began to be satisfied and indulged in pleasure. There is no previous fighting spirit, and there is no frugality in the reform. Honest Prime Minister Zhang Jiuling and others were successively dismissed from office, and Li climbed into the phase. Li is best at guessing the meaning of Tang Xuanzong. In 736 AD, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty wanted to return to Chang 'an from Luoyang. Prime Minister Zhang Jiuling and others said that the autumn harvest was not over yet, which would disturb people and affect production. After Li left Zhang Jiuling, he told him that Chang 'an and Luoyang are His Majesty's East Palace and West Palace. Your Majesty can come and leave whenever he wants, and there is no need to wait any longer. As for obstructing farmers' autumn harvest, it is enough to give them tax exemption.
In the 25th year of Kaiyuan (737), Xuanzong abandoned his third son, Prince Li Ying, Li Yao, King of Hubei, and Li Cong, King of Guang, as Shu Ren and killed them, and changed his third son, King Li Gui, into a prince.
In the 25th year of Kaiyuan (737), Wu Huifei, the favorite concubine of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, died of illness, and Xuanzong was restless day and night. Although there are many beautiful women in the harem, none of them can satisfy him. It is said that Yang Yuhuan, the concubine of Li Mao, the son of Wu Huifei, was very beautiful and gorgeous, so she was recruited into the palace regardless of any etiquette. Yang Yuhuan knows the melody, is also very smart, can sing and dance, and is very popular with Xuanzong.
In August of the fourth year of Tianbao (745), Yang Yuhuan was registered as an imperial concubine.
Tang Xuanzong tried his best to please the imperial concubine. In order to cater to her love of Li Longji clothes, more than 700 people specially served the imperial concubine to make clothes for her. In order to let her eat her favorite litchi, Xuanzong also ordered to open a thousand miles tribute road from Lingnan to Chang 'an, the capital, so that litchi could be transported to Chang 'an in time by fast horses, because litchi would go bad within five days after picking. Yang Guifei was born in the south and likes to eat this kind of food.
With Yang Guifei, Tang Xuanzong's luxury became more and more prosperous. In order to please the emperor, ministers, nobles, and imperial clan courted the imperial concubine in succession. As a result, all the people who made her happy were promoted to official positions, which stimulated more bureaucrats and nobles to curry favor and compete for delicious food and precious jewelry.
Under the influence of his cousin's relationship and his excellent financial ability, Yang also rose all the way and became the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty. Yang Guifei's sisters also benefited. The elder sister's name is Mrs. Han, the third sister is Mrs. Guo, and the eighth sister is Mrs. Qin: other brothers also won prizes.
Become a senior official of North Korea. Yang's strength is unparalleled, and the glorious period of brother and sister also laid the groundwork for the tragic ending in the future.
Under Yang's autocratic power, the whole Tang Dynasty began to be chaotic. It can be said that the decline of the Tang Dynasty was the fault of Xuanzong, but Yang's brothers and sisters, especially Yang, did not play a positive role. His evil deeds did not bring good luck to his sister, but sent her to the point of no return. Beauty is not a sin, but a cause.
Under Yang's rule, the first is the chaos of state affairs. The political chaos in North Korea has affected the national economy.
