After watching Kou Zhun's video review, Li Shimin sighed with regret and said: "If such a great talent were placed in our Tang Dynasty, he would definitely have achieved great success. It's just a pity that he was born in the wrong era."
"Always talented civil servants and generals who were framed and did not die a happy death would be jealous of others, and Kou Zhun could not escape such a fate." Zhao Ji said with great regret.
Since being "opened up" by Zhao Kuangyin and "discovering" many talents from "later Zhao Gou", his attitude towards the outside world has gradually become tougher.
But Zhao Gou deserves to be called Zhao Gou. His thoughts are still similar to those of most people in the management class of the Song Dynasty. "The achievements of Prime Minister Kou are obvious to all, but Prime Minister Kou's external strategy is too radical, and I don't agree with it."
At this time, Kou Zhun, who had not spoken a word, just silently watched Kou Zhun, who was taking stock of his own videos, finally spoke after a long sigh, "If I can get such an evaluation, I will die in peace."
Kou Zhun's later years were quite desolate. Not only was he relegated to the frontier and died in a foreign country, but his bones had to wait for ten years before they could return to their roots and be buried in his hometown.
"The most hateful thing about me is that he failed to resist the Liao Dynasty and signed the shameful Tanyuan Alliance." But Kou Zhun still cared about his family and country. Even after his death, he still thought about the original Tanyuan Alliance.
, this may have become a lifelong problem for him.
Kou Zhun's deeds made many people in the parallel space sigh, and also made many heroes and scholars who cared about their family, country and world fight against him.
Amid everyone's discussion, the next video soon started again.
[Hello everyone, welcome to this short video: taking stock of the top ten famous figures in history!]
[The eighth of the top ten famous figures in history: Yao Chong, the prime minister who saved the time.]
[Producer: Su Qian]
After Li Longji saw the title, he immediately shouted excitedly: "Ha! It's Yao Chong! It's my prime minister Yao Chong!!!"
"During Li Longji's reign, the only decent prime minister was probably Yao Chong.
As for Song Jing, who is always as famous as Yao Chong, in our opinion, he should be pulled out and killed just for his policy of "not rewarding side contributions"!" Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to have quite a few criticisms of Li Jinglong's prime ministers.
[Yao Chong's real name is Yuan Chong, a famous prime minister in the Tang Dynasty, a famous politician, and the son of Yao Yi, the governor of Yizhou.
Yao Chongli passed through the five dynasties of Gaozong, Wu Zetian, Zhongzong, Ruizong and Xuanzong, and served as prime minister three times. He died in the ninth year of Kaiyuan of Xuanzong at the age of 72.]
In the parallel world, many officials couldn't help but praise,
"Awesome! After five dynasties and three terms as prime minister, this man can be called a tumbler in officialdom!"
"Let's not talk about his political achievements. Just seeing that he was able to stay in the officialdom for decades, hold a high position and have a good death, it shows that he is a very powerful politician."
"This man can be regarded as a model for our generation in officialdom. We need to learn more from him!"
[Yao Chong became prime minister three times in his life, and he made great achievements during his three terms as prime minister.
Especially when Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty was the prime minister in the early years of Kaiyuan, he pointed out the shortcomings in the government since Wu Zetian and proposed various reform measures.
Among them, the economic reforms proposed by Yao Chong, coupled with his rectification of officialdom, military affairs, culture, etc., had a very positive effect on the emergence of the "Kaiyuan prosperous age".]
[Yao Chong lost his father in his early years and was dependent on his mother. When he was young, he did not like to go to school and loved hunting.
When he was in his prime, that is, when he was just an adult, he didn't even read much.
Then why did Yao Chong later change from a little gangster who was a loose hawk to a great politician who devoted himself to studying and achieved success in his studies?
There are two opinions here.
The first one: He said it was because he met someone who was good at meeting people.
The man said to Yao Chong: "The public is very noble, and one day he will be the prime minister."
After Yao Chong heard this, he went home and told his mother, who therefore advised him to study.
So Yao Chong let go of the hawks, dogs and harriers he used for hunting, and concentrated on studying in order to make progress.
The second theory is that one day, Yao Chong went to visit relatives and saw a book called "Xiu Wen Dian Yu Lan".
This book was compiled by people from the Northern Qi Dynasty. After reading a few pages, Yao Chong fell in love with it and dived into the pile of books.
No matter what the cause was, Yao Chong did not like learning until he became an adult, and he later became famous for his literary talent.]
[Yao Chong lived through five dynasties, and he first became an official during the Li Zhi period of Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty.
But at that time, Yao Chong himself was not very famous. When Tang Gaozong and Li Zhi were alive, Yao Chong had no reputation. It was not until Empress Wu Zetian came to power that Yao Chong gradually began to stand out.]
[In the first year of Long Live Tongtian (696 AD), the Khitan invaded Hebei, and Wu Zetian asked the courtiers to write a letter to propose countermeasures.
After reading the letter from the ministers, Wu Zetian suddenly discovered Yao Chong's talent and political talent, so he promoted Yao Chong to the rank of Minister of Xia Guan. From then on, Yao Chong became an important minister in the imperial court.]
[Yao Chong dared to take on political responsibilities, and therefore was deeply loved by Wu Zetian.
Yao Chong once pointedly pointed out: "The heavy use of cruel officials to kill innocent people is more harmful than the party imprisonment of the Han Dynasty."
Not only was Wu Zetian not angry at Yao Chong's criticism of her practices, but she eventually accelerated the process of ending the cruel politics of officials.
In October of the first year of the Holy Calendar, Yao Chong was appointed prime minister by Wu Zetian. In less than two years, he rose from a fifth-rank official to prime minister. This is a rate of rise that many people dream of, long for, and cannot achieve.]
[Yao Chong helped Wu Zetian put down various civil strife, so he was named prime minister by Wu Zetian. However, Yao Chong discovered a problem. Although Wu Zetian was talented and wise, she wanted to usurp the Tang Dynasty.
Yao Chong was a Jinshi in the Tang Dynasty and believed in the idea of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism. Naturally, he did not want this situation to occur. As Wu Zetian deposed and established the emperor, Yao Chong became more and more serious about this view.
He thought Wu Zetian wanted to cause trouble!
This country belongs to Li Tang. If you continue to play like this, you won't want to change the dynasty, right?
However, the reality was just as Yao Chong thought, Wu Zetian changed the name of the country to Dazhou and became emperor herself.]
[Wu Zetian became emperor, so the relationship between Yao Chong and Wu Zetian became more awkward.
Although the master has not changed and is still Wu Zetian, the problem is that he, Yao Chong, has always been loyal to the Li Tang Dynasty. Now that the emperors have changed to people with foreign surnames, and the country title has become Zhou, how can Yao Chong not be embarrassed?]
[So, Yao Chong secretly gathered with some veterans of the Li and Tang Dynasty at night to discuss.
They have only one purpose in doing this, 'that is how to save the Li Tang Dynasty.'
Wu Zetian probably had nothing to say when he proclaimed himself emperor. After all, he was considered a heroic figure.
But who she will pass the throne to later becomes a big question.
If it is passed on to his son, who is also of the Li family's royal bloodline, then that's okay.
But if she passes it on to her nephew, then Li Tangke will really be doomed.】
[Therefore, a group of ministers headed by Yao Chong were closely watching Wu Zetian's every move.
But it was definitely not easy to work underground under Wu Zetian's nose. Once caught, it would be a serious crime of beheading, so Yao Chong took the initiative to apply for external transfer.
However, before Yao Chong made the transfer, he recommended someone to Wu Zetian, the famous Prime Minister Zhang Jianzhi.
We all know that Zhang Jianzhi was an important figure in launching a coup to overthrow the Wuzhou Dynasty, so Yao Chong had immortal contributions and rebirth to the Li and Tang Dynasty.】
