Three Kingdoms video king: The opening inventory of the top ten fighters!

Chapter 198 Bingzhou Situation ([-])

After Yao Chong's death, Zhang said that it was exactly as he expected. He wrote an inscription for him and spoke highly of him.

The son of Yao Chong told the visitor that the inscription had been reviewed by the emperor, Zhang said regretfully after knowing it:
"The dead Yao Chong can still plot against the living Zhang Yue. I didn't know that my talent is not as good as him until today!"

During the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty, the people enshrined Yao Chong's portrait as a true god, and temples were built for him in many places, hoping that he could bless the people and bring them well-being.

In Huwei Town, Yunlin County, Taiwan Province, there is still a Yao Wang Ye Temple to worship Yao Chong.

During the Yuanyou period of the Northern Song Dynasty, You Shixiong, the magistrate of Shanzhou, admired Yao Chong and set up Yao Gong Temple in Shanzhou, Yao Chong's hometown.

When Yao Chong's descendants were scattered all over the country, Yao Gong Temple was worshiped by people until the period of the Republic of China.

Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty worked hard to revitalize the great cause of the Tang Dynasty. The reason why he appointed Yao Chong was not only because he was familiar with Yao Chong's outstanding talents of "agile officials" and "good at adapting to affairs", but also because Yao Chong had rich experience and high morals. , with foresight.

Yao Chong's "ten things to say" laid the foundation for the prosperity of Kaiyuan. At that time, Yao Chong was the governor of Tongzhou, and Xuanzong went to Weichuan to hunt in order to meet him.

Facing the emperor's sincerity, Yao Chong put forward the famous "ten things to say" in history. Xuanzong was deeply moved and agreed to them one by one.

Immediately, Yao Chong was appointed Shangshu of the Ministry of War and the third rank of Tongzhongshu's sect, and resumed the position of prime minister. Later, he was appointed as Ziweiling, the first assistant prime minister, and promoted to Liang Guogong. The two monarchs and ministers began to work together to govern the world.

"Ten things to say" was first recorded in "Shengping Yuan" written by Wu Jing, a historian of the Tang Dynasty, and was later quoted in "New Book of Tang" as a good story. The main content can be summarized into three points.

First, strengthen the imperial power and stabilize the political situation.

Specifically, unorthodox political forces such as imperial relatives, relatives, ministers, and eunuchs were not allowed to participate in the government, so as to ensure that the emperor's power would not be disturbed, and at the same time implement benevolent governance to stabilize social order.

Second, rectify the administration of officials.

No one is allowed to take up official positions through abnormal channels, and ministers are respected, and rewards and punishments are clearly defined.

Third, pay attention to people's livelihood and improve the country's financial situation.

Including not asking for meritorious service, reducing military expenditure, prohibiting excessive construction of temples and temples, avoiding waste of people and money, prohibiting contributions other than normal taxes, and reducing the burden on the people, etc.

In fact, these ten suggestions put forward by Yao Chong are his policy program, which is the experience and lessons summed up from Wu Zetian's bad governance since his later years, so all of them hit the point.

After Yao worshiped the prime minister, he assisted the government, reformed the old and reformed, vigorously promoted social reforms, and promoted the advantages and eliminated the disadvantages.

He started with rectifying the system, removed redundant posts, selected officials, restrained the power of the emperor, relatives and heroes, abstained from desire and extravagance, and vigorously developed production, laying the political and economic foundations for the prosperity of Kaiyuan.

Xuanzong held Yao Chong in high regard, and at the same time firmly believed in it. Every time he met in the palace, Xuanzong would stand up to greet him, and when he said goodbye, he would go to the pavilion to see him off. This was a courtesy that other prime ministers had never received.

Therefore, Yao Chong's assistant Xuanzong also did his best. Although he only served as prime minister for more than three years, he was quite successful and was called "the prime minister who saved the time".

Even after Yao Chong was dismissed as prime minister, Xuanzong still ordered him to serve as the third secretary of Kaifu Yitong, and he still joined the cabinet to participate in the court council. Yao Chong, later awarded the official crown prince Shaobao.

In 716 A.D., locust plagues occurred continuously in the Shandong area. The people only knew how to set up sacrifices and worship, but they dared not kill the locusts and let them chew on the grass seedlings.

The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty also sighed and were helpless. At this time, Yao Chongli dispelled all opinions and persuaded Xuanzong to order the extermination of locusts. His courage, determination and ability to catch locusts are still awe-inspiring today.

Politicians of all dynasties have attached great importance to the construction of water conservancy, and Yao Chong is no exception. Under his suggestion, Xuanzong repaired and built many steep ponds and dikes, expanded the irrigation area, and released floods to fight disasters, with outstanding results.

Sima Guang, a great historian of the Song Dynasty, praised Yao Chong as one of the four great sages of the Tang Dynasty in "Zi Zhi Tong Jian", "The sages of the Tang Dynasty were called Fang (Xuan Ling) Du (Ruhui) before and Yao (Chong) later. Song (Jing), no one else can compare."

After the Anshi Rebellion broke out, Tang Xuanzong was forced to flee to Sichuan. When he learned that Tang Suzong appointed Fang Guan as a general, he said sadly, if Yao Chong is still there, this thief will not be destroyed!

At this time, it has been more than 30 years since Yao Chong passed away. It is not difficult for a person to hold power and be praised by others while he is still alive.

[No. 9 in the ranking of the top ten famous figures in history: "Half the Analects of Confucius governs the world" Zhao Pu! 】

Zhao Pu, courtesy name Zeping, was born in Jizhou, Youzhou, and later moved to Luoyang. He was a famous politician from the Five Dynasties to the early Northern Song Dynasty, and a founding hero of the Northern Song Dynasty.

He assisted Taizu and Taizong in the two dynasties, and he paid homage to the prime minister three times, which had a very important influence on the political situation in the early Song Dynasty.

In the early years, he was appointed by Liu Ci, and later served as the secretary of Zhao Kuangyin. Xiande launched the Chenqiao Mutiny with Zhao Kuangyin in the seventh year, overthrew the Hou Zhou Dynasty, and established the Song Dynasty.

In the second year of Qiande's worship, he assisted Zhao Kuangyin to seize the vassals and towns, ban the military power of veteran generals, implement more garrison laws, reform the official system, and formulate many major measures such as guarding the border and defending the Liao Dynasty.

Although Zhao Pu did not read much, he liked to read "The Analects of Confucius". His saying that "half of the "Analects of Confucius" governs the world" had a great influence on later generations and became a famous saying for governing the country with Confucianism.

In the third year of Chunhua, Zhao Pu died of illness. At the age of 71, Emperor Taizong of Song Dynasty personally wrote an octagonal stele and bestowed it on him.

Zhao Pu's ancestral home was in Ji County, Youzhou. His great-grandfather was the county magistrate of Sanhe in the late Tang Dynasty. His grandfather Zhao Quanbao was the Sima of Chanzhou in the late Tang Dynasty.

In the later Tang Dynasty, Zhao Dejun, the leader of Youzhou, fought for years. His family and country were restless, and Zhao Jiong was unbearable. He moved his family to Changzhou and then to Luoyang.

Zhao Pu is the eldest son of Zhao Jiong. He is honest and taciturn. Wei, a wealthy family in Zhenyang, appreciates him very much and betroths his daughter to Zhao Pu.

In July of the first year of Xiande in the Later Zhou Dynasty, Zhao Pu was appointed by Liu Ci, the governor of the Yongxing Army, as a colleague.

In the third year of Xiande, Shizong Chai Rong of the Later Zhou Dynasty sent troops to Huainan, and Zhao Kuangyin captured Chuzhou. Prime Minister Fan Zhizuo asked Zhao Pu to be appointed as a military judge.

Zhao Kuangyin's father, Zhao Hongyin, recuperated in Chuzhou, and Zhao Pu served medicine bait day and night, so Zhao Hongyin treated him as a clan.

Zhao Kuangyin once talked with him and felt that he was very unusual. At that time, more than 100 thieves were captured and Ludang beheaded. Zhao Pu suspected that there were innocent people among them, so he asked Taizu to interrogate them. Many of them survived later.

After Huainan was pacified, Zhao Pu was transferred to serve as the military judge of Weizhou. When Zhao Kuangyin was appointed as the military governor of Tongzhou, he was recruited as an official. After Zhao Kuangyin moved to Songzhou, he wrote to the imperial court to be his secretary.
