Online Games: Start as an Emperor

As a famous prime minister in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, Yao Chong's level and ability are beyond doubt.

If it weren't for Chen Ping's outstanding economic warfare, Yao Chong would not have thought too much and would not have disintegrated the Yu State's economic system internally.

This led to the collapse of Yu State's national power.

The luck of Yu State is that of dragon and python, which is also very extraordinary.

Moreover, Yu State also has some special buildings.

These greatly enhanced the luck of Yu State.

Yao Chong is a person who has taken history textbooks, and he himself also left many legends and stories.

Especially when it comes to governing the country.

For example - locust plague.

Yao Chong once controlled the locust plague in eastern Shandong.

In the fourth year of Kaiyuan, a large-scale locust plague occurred in eastern Shandong. The locusts were densely swarming and destroyed crops.

Yao Chong advocated killing locusts and burning their corpses.

Local officials and people did not dare to hunt and kill locusts. Instead, they offered sacrifices to heaven to pray for blessings and eliminate disasters. Even Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty worried that killing locusts would violate the destiny of heaven.

Yao Chong exhorted Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty by citing examples of locust plagues in the Wei Dynasty that did not dare to be extinguished, leading to the loss of vegetation, famine and even cannibalism. He pointed out that cultivating virtue and avoiding disasters does not mean leaving it alone, but taking the initiative to provide disaster relief. If in order to protect the locusts, To sacrifice human life and bring danger to the country is to truly defy destiny.

Lu Huaishen, the supervisor of Huangmen, believed that natural disasters could not be overcome by manpower. Yao Chong refuted loudly:"It is a good deed to kill locusts and save the people. If disaster comes from heaven, I, Yao Chong, will bear it all alone and will never pass the blame to others."

Yao Chongwei The people's strong determination to plead for their lives finally moved Tang Xuanzong, who then ordered the locusts to be exterminated.

In the end, with the intervention of the government, thousands of locusts were killed, the people were saved from disaster, and the world was at peace.

Yao Chong is quite discerning in this regard.

Yao Chong served as prime minister in the three dynasties of Wu Zetian, Ruizong, and Xuanzong. Whether in terms of political achievements or qualifications, he was almost unmatched by anyone at the time.

However, this senior prime minister has"treasured not being greedy as a treasure" throughout his life."，""Take integrity and shen as a teacher"; even in the Kaiyuan period when the Tang Dynasty's national power reached its peak and his personal official position reached its peak, he still"highlighted the integrity and diligence and blocked the door of corruption and competition" and lived a very frugal life.

Because of his integrity, he only With a"dead salary" and no gray income, he could not afford a house in the urban area of ​​Beijing, and his family had to live in a suburb far away from the imperial court.

Many people were favored by Yao Chong.

During the period of Wu Zetian, he saved many Wu Zetian once talked with his courtiers about the fact that Zhou Xing and Lai Junchen presided over the prison, and there were many rebellion cases among courtiers, and she wondered whether there were unjust imprisonments among them.

Yao Chongjin said:"Most of the people who have been executed for rebellion since Chui Gong were due to It was caused by Zhou Xing and others making false accusations in order to seek credit for themselves. His Majesty sent close ministers to investigate, but these ministers could not protect themselves, so they dared to shake their conclusions! If the person being questioned recanted his confession and was afraid of being tortured, it would be better to die early than to do so. Now that the cruel officials have been exterminated, I guarantee to Your Majesty with the lives of my whole family that in the future there will be no more rebels among the ministers inside and outside the imperial court. If there is even the slightest hint of treason, I am willing to bear the responsibility of knowing it but not telling it.

Wu Zetian said happily:"The previous prime ministers obeyed Zhou Xing and others, allowing cruel officials to succeed, and made me a monarch who abused punishment." What you said is very agreeable to me." So Yao Chong was rewarded with a thousand taels of silver.

And many people were not persecuted because of this incident.

······

Lu Yan has already decided what position to assign to Yao Chong.

Now that Yu State has surrendered, such a large place must be governed by people.

Yao Chong himself is familiar with this place and is suitable for taking up the post again.

In addition, many people need to be sent there.

Thinking of this, Lu Yan couldn't help but look at Jiang Wan from the staff department.

Let’s leave this matter to Jiang Wan.

Jiang Wan is doing quite well now.

Officials in the Ministry of Personnel each perform their duties.

Dutifully.

As for Zhu Da, Ouyang Xuan and others, they can be transferred to Yundu.

Especially Ouyang Xuan.

In real life, Lu Yan also practiced Ouyang Xuan's calligraphy.

Ouyang Xuan is not only good at writing, but also a good official.

He is a historical figure.

Ouyang Xuan, named Yuan Gong and named Guizhai, was a descendant of Ouyang Shu and a famous writer in the Yuan Dynasty.

Ouyang Xuan served as the governor of Wuhu County for three years. He was not afraid of the powerful, cleared up the backlog of cases, strictly enforced the law, and focused on developing agriculture. He was deeply supported by the people and had the reputation of"enlightenment is carried out, and migratory locusts do not enter the country."

During his tenure, he paid more attention to the protection and repair of Wuhu's scenic spots and historic sites. It is said that the"Eight Scenic Spots of Wuhu" were formed during his tenure.

Each scene is inscribed with seven rhymes and one verse. He often travels to"Jingshan Cold Wall". Because it has the same name as Jingshan in his hometown of Jingzhou, it has the sentence"Three years of living in Jiangdong, I remember my hometown every time I see Jingshan."

When I left office, I missed Wuhu endlessly. Later generations named the water in Jingshan Mountain"Ouyang Lake", or"Ouyang Lake" for short, in commemoration.

Emperor Shun of the Yuan Dynasty also bestowed upon him the titles of Chongren, Zhaode, Zhongshouzheng, Great Situ, and Zhuguo, etc., and he was posthumously named Duke of Chu, with the posthumous title"Wen".

He died at the age of seventy-five.

It would be too unfair to let him serve as a teacher in the calligraphy court.

Even going to Bailudong Academy, Lu Yan felt a little pity.

After thinking about it, Lu Yan planned to arrange it to Luzhou.
