Chapter 145: The stars hold the moon, the moon is hidden, and the night sky is shining brightly.

Chapter 145: The stars hold the moon, the moon is hidden, and the night sky is shining brightly.

[In his childhood, Fang Xuanling was witty and intelligent. He read a lot of books, liked to write articles, and also had certain attainments in calligraphy.

Although Fang Xuanling was young, he had a unique perspective on things. Once, he went to the capital with his father. The capital was prosperous and everyone believed that the Sui Dynasty would not perish.

But Fang Xuanling said to her father: "The current emperor of the Sui Dynasty has no merit and will only confuse the people. He has no long-term plan for the development of the Sui Dynasty. Moreover, the position of the prince is still uncertain. Sooner or later, the brothers will fight against each other."

Massacre. With these people, how can the Sui Dynasty continue? With such a situation, the Sui Dynasty will perish sooner or later."

Fang Xuanling's words shocked his father, and he immediately treated his son who was not yet an adult in a different light.]

[At the same time, Fang Xuanling is also a filial person.

It is said that after Fang Xuanling's father fell ill, he took care of him for more than a hundred days, personally giving him medicine and food every day, and sleeping next to his father with his clothes on at night.

After his father died, he was so sad that he didn't eat for five days, which is enough to prove that his filial piety moved the world.]

[Fang Xuanling passed the Jinshi examination at the age of eighteen and was later appointed. Gao Xiaoji, the Minister of Civil Service at the time, praised Fang Xuanling endlessly. He asserted that Fang Xuanling will become a great person in the future.

Sure enough, Fang Xuanling was later appointed as the county captain of Xicheng County.]

[But after entering the official career, Fang Xuanling felt deeply powerless against the corruption and decadence of the Sui Dynasty.

At that time, the society of the Sui Dynasty had begun to become turbulent, and uprisings occurred in various places.

Among the rebels, the most powerful ones were undoubtedly the Li Clan and the Song Clan.

After the leader of the Li clan, Li Yuan, raised a righteous flag and entered the pass, Li Yuan's second son, Li Shimin, led his army to expand territory in Weibei.]

[Fang Xuanling, who was in Shangjun, saw that Li Yuan and his son's army was well-disciplined, strong in combat effectiveness, courteous to corporal officers, won the hearts of the people, and had great ambitions to dominate the world, so he resolutely left Shangjun and went to Weibei.

Before leaving, Fang Xuanling went to Heishui Temple to say goodbye to Master Guxuan. Master Guxuan gave him a long sword, clasped his hands and said: "A good bird chooses a good tree to live in, and a wise minister chooses a bright master to work. Now it's over."

When the clouds break and the sun rises, go ahead!" He then said, "I have written a letter to Keming, and I will teach him to join you in the army within three months."]

[In the 13th year of the Sui Dynasty (617 AD), Fang Xuanling, then thirty-eight years old, decided to go out and seek his true career in this troubled world.

This was a solemn choice he had been waiting for for many years, a rise when he was at a low point in his life, and a rare opportunity given to him by the times.

[After Li Shimin met Fang Xuanling, they had a very happy conversation as soon as they met, and they felt like they had met Fang Xuanling so late.

Although Li Shimin only gave Fang Xuanling an official position to join the army as an agent of the Weibei Road Marching Record Office, Fang Xuanling did not complain and did this job conscientiously. It was from this moment on that Fang Xuanling often followed him

He went on an expedition with the King of Qin and made suggestions for the King of Qin, Li Shimin.】

[Whenever the other warlord forces conquered a party, the people in the military camp rushed to search for property first, but only Fang Xuanling was the first to think of recruiting talents.

After Wang Shichong was defeated by Li Shimin, when Fang Xuanling saw the surrendered general Zhang Liang, he commented that he was "suave and resourceful" and immediately recommended Zhang Liang to Li Shimin.

And Li Shimin also trusted Fang Xuanling's vision very much, and immediately appointed Zhang Liang as the Cavalry General of the Prince of Qin's Palace.

In addition, there were people like Xue Shou, who was quick in thinking, Li Daliang, who had "wang mausoleum, Zhou Bojie, can rely on big things", and Du Ruhui, who had the talent of Wang Zuo, etc., all were discovered and recommended by Fang Xuanling.

Among the people recommended by Fang Xuanling, the most famous one is Du Ruhui.

There was a time when Du Ruhui was about to be transferred out of the Prince's Mansion. Fang Xuanling immediately said to Li Shimin: "Many handsome people in the Prince's Mansion have been transferred out. I don't feel sorry for anyone else. Only Du Ruhui is different. If you want to run the Sifang

, He must be the one to win the world.”

Later facts also proved that Du Ruhui was very insightful in judging major events. Fang Xuanling and he cooperated very well. The two also left behind the allusion of "Fang's plans are blocked", which became a popular saying in officialdom at that time and later generations.

A good story.]

Liu Bang admired sincerely: "Serving the master wholeheartedly, this is simply a model of a minister!"

"Fang Guduan, Taizong's right-hand man, is naturally extraordinary!" Li Longji said proudly.

"Well, is there only one Zhang Juzheng in Ming Dynasty?" Zhu Yuanzhang was a little unwilling. He couldn't help but look at his actions in history again. Did he discourage those officials?

"It is indeed enviable." After Yang Guang said this, he couldn't help but grinned and said: "But now these two people will be mine!"

[Before the Xuanwu Gate Incident, Qin King Li Shimin and Prince Li Jiancheng had many conflicts.

In order to stabilize his position as the crown prince, Li Jiancheng first snitched on Li Yuan and removed Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui from Li Shimin's princely residence.

Without the house and Du's help, Li Shimin fell into life-threatening crises many times.

Li Shimin, who had been in danger many times, finally made up his mind to secretly take back Fang and Du. With their help, King Qin Li Shimin successfully launched this extremely important coup.

After eliminating his main opponent, Li Shimin became the emperor as he wished.】

[After Li Shimin ascended the throne, he appointed Fang Xuanling as Shangshu Zuopushe to perform the duties of prime minister.

During his twenty-two-year career as prime minister, Fang Xuanling was loyal and devoted himself to the rule of Zhenguan.

He worked day and night, taking care of every detail, and was even willing to condescend to be a "doctor" and handle the financial budget and accounts personally.

His busyness made Li Shimin feel unbearable, and he even tried to persuade him face to face not to tire himself out all the time, but Fang Xuanling remained the same, unmoved.]

[Fang Xuanling is well aware of the principle of "full losses, modest gains". When Li Shimin awarded him the title of "Prince's Young Master", he petitioned to be relieved of his confidential position and withdraw from the center of power. Li Shimin not only refused to approve, but also went to the marsh.

He was ordered not to go on the list and make another request on the same issue.

When the prince prepared an honor guard to formally meet the teacher, Fang Xuanling never dared to accept such courtesy.

Even though Fang Xuanling was in a powerful position, he was still courteous and courteous, and carefully maintained the conduct of a monarch and his ministers.]

[Throughout Fang Xuanling’s life, he has made countless contributions:

Before the Zhenguan period, he assisted Li Shimin in managing the four directions, defeating all the heroes, and seizing the throne. Li Shimin praised him for his "efforts in planning strategies and establishing the country."

During Zhenguan, he held the posts of Zhongshu Ling, Shangshu Zuopushe, Sikong and other positions, and was the commander-in-chief of Baisi. He was in charge of government affairs for twenty-two years. He participated in the formulation of laws and regulations, presided over the revision of laws and edicts, and participated in the formulation of the "

The Zhenguan Code laid the foundation for the later Yonghui Code and the Tang Code of Laws, the oldest and most complete existing feudal criminal code in China.

He also practiced Tang Rites with Wei Zheng, adjusted government agencies, and made provincial and central officials the first in Zhenguan's good governance.

He was good at employing people, did not select people based on their own needs, did not ask whether they were high or low, assigned appointments according to their talents, abided by their duties, and did not take credit for themselves. Later generations will regard him and Du Ruhui as examples of good ministers.

"Old Book of Tang Dynasty" praises: "The text contains the latitude and longitude, and the planning is deep and supplementary. The sheng and chimes have the same pronunciation, but Fang and Du are the only ones." Because Xuanling was good at planning and Ruhui was good at making decisions, it was called "Fang Mou Du Duan" in history.]

[Fang Xuanling’s achievements are far more than these. Later generations spoke highly of him.

Someone gave Fang Xuanling such an evaluation as "the stars support the moon and the moon is hidden, and the night sky is bright and bright when governing the world." He is wise and low-key. How many such prime ministers have there been in the past and present?]
