Chapter 138: Entering the phase three times, creating a prosperous Kaiyuan era
[Before Yao Chong became prime minister for the third time, most of his more famous deeds were related to coups.
But what really makes him remembered by history is not only because of his important role in the coup, but also because he was one of the elders who created the prosperous Kaiyuan era!]
"The two successful coups successfully extended the life of the Li Tang Dynasty, and the creation of the Kaiyuan era brought the Tang Dynasty to the pinnacle of Chinese and even world civilization. Prime Minister Yao should indeed be on the list of the top ten famous prime ministers!"
"But let me tell you, not only should Yao become prime minister, but he should also be ranked higher!"
"Su Shangshen must have a reason for putting him at the back. Let me guess, is it because of the problem of not being able to teach his son well?"
"I'm afraid it's more than that, but let's watch the video first."
[Yao Chong's third term as prime minister began in the first year of Kaiyuan.
After Li Longji, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, came to the throne, he appointed Yao Chong as the prime minister, worshiped Yao Chong as the minister of the Ministry of War, and was the third rank of Tongzhongshu.
Yao Chong put forward ten suggestions, involving various aspects such as politics, economy, military, and rule of law. They were summarized during Wu Zetian's period, and these "Ten Points of Innovation" became Yao Chong's policy agenda after he became prime minister.
The reason why Xuanzong appointed Yao Chong as his prime minister was first of all because Yao Chong did have outstanding talents. He was extremely talented, "quick in officialdom, good at adapting to changes in affairs", had strong ability to handle affairs, and could take timely measures according to specific situations.
And achieved good results, so Xuanzong must choose talents who can assist him.
Secondly, it is also because Yao Chong has rich political experience. He served as prime minister twice and local military and political governor many times. He understood the sufferings of the people and achieved political achievements wherever he went.
Also, Yao Chong has accumulated a high level of prestige after going through a series of previous events. Having his help will save you a lot of worry.】
[However, when Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty originally thought that when he appointed Yao Chong as prime minister, Yao Chong would be grateful and overjoyed.
But the reality was different from what he thought. Yao Chong not only did not show joy, but also remained silent, and did not thank Long En.
Tang Xuanzong didn't know what Yao Chong was thinking until after a while, Yao Chong said: "I have ten suggestions. If you don't listen or implement them, I will risk my life and refuse to accept the emperor's appointment!"
This is the very famous "Ten Things to Say".]
In Qin Shihuang's world, Li Si has been reactivated. Although he has not yet returned to the position of prime minister, it is not much different.
This time it happened to be Li Si and other officials' turn to come to Taishan to record the content of the video inventory, but they didn't expect that this video would just be the inventory of the top ten famous figures in history.
Li Si saw that the useful information was about to be released in the video, so he quickly said to the clerk beside him: "Quick! Write it down quickly!! Don't miss a word!!!"
Fully ten secretaries responded in unison: "Here!"
In fact, it is not just the area where Qin Shihuang is located, but emperors, officials, and people in other dimensions are spontaneously recording video content. Many valuable knowledge and experiences from later generations or predecessors are very precious and valuable.
[The content of Yao Chong's "Ten Things to Say" is roughly as follows:
1. Harsh laws must be abolished, benevolent government must be implemented, and the people must be treated well!
2. We cannot resort to militarism or launch border operations. The previous war with Tubo has already consumed too much!
3. Eunuchs are not allowed to interfere in politics, this rule must be observed!
4. Royal family members cannot be appointed to high positions!
5. If a close official commits a crime, he must be punished according to the law. You cannot indulge him by saying that he is a "direct descendant" of the emperor!
6. In addition to necessary taxes, cancel all fees and charges with clever names and reduce taxes for the people!
7. It is forbidden to build temples, temples and palaces to avoid wasting people and damaging money!
8. Treat your ministers with courtesy!
9. Allow ministers to tell the truth, and loyal words may be offended!
10. It is strictly forbidden for relatives to interfere in politics!]
After Zhu Di fell asleep, Zhu Gaochi took over the supervision of the country on his behalf. Although the time did not last more than an hour at a time, this at least conveyed Zhu Di's thoughts to the outside world.
Zhu Gaochi was dignified, calm, and benevolent by nature, and he loved reading very much. He was a rare and outstanding heir.
Although due to his poor health and some objections to war, Zhu Di was still very optimistic about him.
However, what made Zhu Di determined to keep Zhu Gaochi as crown prince was because he had a good son, a good emperor who was mentioned in the Su Qian video - Zhu Zhanji.
"Except for the second one, all the others are very good suggestions!" Zhu Gaochi kept looking at the light curtain in the sky, missing even one word in his life. But he still took the time to ask Zhu Zhanji beside him: "I have written it all down.
?"
"Go back to my father, I have memorized everything!" Zhu Zhanji has a very good memory, and he can basically memorize the exact meaning after reading it once.
Of course, there were many secretaries behind them. The reason why Zhu Gaochi asked Zhu Zhanji to copy them by hand was actually to let him have a deeper impression of these excellent policies.
"Zhanji, although you didn't make it onto the list of wise kings in history, you are still a wise king recognized by Su Shangshen. This is very rare."
Zhu Gaochi's words to Zhu Zhanji were full of relief, even mixed with a hint of envy.
After all, being recognized by Su Qian means recognition by future generations. Being able to leave a name in history is an honor that countless people are crazy about!
Although Zhu Zhanji was very happy in his heart and even a little proud, he still pretended to be calm and modest and replied: "It was all taught well by the emperor and father. I am ashamed of myself."
Zhu Gaochi smiled and said: "Study hard and don't be proud. If you are worse than yourself in history, you will really let down history, let down Su Shangshen, and even let down yourself!"
Zhu Zhanji felt a chill in his heart. He immediately put aside all his joy and pride and replied: "Father, don't worry, I will definitely surpass myself in history and make our Ming Dynasty more powerful!"
"Oh, by the way, don't forget that there is Yu Qian. Did you send someone to find him?"
"My son has sent people to look for it." At this point, Zhu Zhanji suddenly asked worriedly: "Father, don't we tell Grandpa Huang?"
Hearing Zhu Zhanji's question, the curve of Zhu Gaochi's mouth became a little higher, "My child, do you think your actions can escape the eyes of your grandfather?"
"Ah?!" Zhu Zhanji's eyes widened, a little uneasy.
"But the people you sent out are fine, what does that mean?" Zhu Gaochi asked again, he was determined to test Zhu Zhanji.
Zhu Zhanji forced himself to calm down, and then suddenly said: "Since Grandpa Huang knew that we were going to find Yu Qian, he did not stop us. Does this mean that he acquiesced?"
Zhu Gaochi was pleased and said: "Father did not receive the reward of longevity, so he still has to consider your future.
Yu Qian was praised by Su Shangshen as a model among literati, capable and virtuous. This is the minister your father left for you!"
Zhu Zhanji stared at Zhu Gaochi, and he suddenly asked: "What about you, father?"
Zhu Gaochi reached out and touched Zhu Zhanji's head and said: "My father is in poor health and I'm afraid he won't live long. Therefore, what Ming Dynasty needs more in the future is you!"
"Father." Zhu Zhanji looked very sad, but he quickly thought of something and said: "Father, how about we go ask Grandpa Huang and let him exchange a divine healing pill from people in other worlds?
Come?"
Zhu Gaochi was shocked, then shook his head slightly and said: "The Divine Healing Pill is too rare. My father paid a huge amount of energy and price to seek the medicine for his mother."
Before Zhu Gaochi could finish speaking, Zhu Zhanji interrupted: "But there are still many newcomers participating in the Wanchao Exchange Meeting! They should also be able to get rewards. No matter how high the cost, we will ask our father to buy one from them.
!”
After Zhu Zhanji's reminder, Zhu Gaochi suddenly realized and said: "Zhanji, you are right!"
