Chang'an Wude Hall!

Li Longji came down to come to the court, and he was bored in the back hall to get the pipa and sing it himself, enjoying himself.

Since ancient times, music has always been divided into elegant and vulgar music. The so-called elegant music was used in grand celebrations such as national sacrifices, ancestral temples, court meetings, etc., and the music played has a certain political effect. The common music is mainly for people to appreciate and entertain. The difference is somewhat similar to the bel canto songs and popular songs in later generations. Because Confucius attached great importance to elegant music, he derogated the common music. Therefore, thousands of Confucian students later felt that the common music was unbearable and elegant music was noble.

But Li Longji didn't think so. He was proficient in music since childhood and loved singing and dancing performances. He felt that although vulgar music was less solemn and serious than elegant music, it was more artistic and more pleasant. His love for vulgar music was based on the above of elegant music.

At this moment, Li Longji played and sang Hu songs from Kucha, the Western Regions. Compared with the graceful and graceful music of Central Plains, he was young and energetic and liked the passionate Hu songs more. His fingers were flexibly beating, and the surging melody was rippling in the hall. The rough and passionate words were heard from him. He was addicted to music, twisting his butt and shaking his body, which was particularly happy. If someone saw this scene, who would dare to believe that he was the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty? It was just like an actor wearing a dragon robe in the theater.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" A eunuch who was not as burly as a eunuch rushed into the hall.

"Lishi, didn't you see me busy?" Li Longji was singing happily, which made people forcefully interrupted, and he was displeased. Among all the eunuchs, only Gao Lishi had allowed him to enter the hall without any communication. He had a deep relationship with Gao Lishi, and he was obviously a master and servant, but he was like a friend. He would not get angry about this little thing, but was interrupted by his interest, which was very boring.

Gao Lishi hurriedly said, "It's the right pick who is asking for a visit, otherwise how dare I disturb Your Majesty's elegant mood?"

When Li Longji heard the "right pick-up" he couldn't help but feel numb on his back, and he felt like Taizong saw Wei Zheng.

The one who served as the right-hand man named Zhang Jiuling, from Qujiang, Shaozhou, was born in a family of officials for generations. He was young and talented. He knew his belongings at the age of nine. At the age of thirteen, he wrote a sensational good article. Wu Zetian was promoted to the Jinshi in the second year of Chang'an. Later, he served as secretary. He had outstanding political achievements, but he was not transferred, and he had the idea of ​​returning home. It just so happened that Li Longji was eager to be talented, and he personally asked the scholars of all over the world that Zhang Jiuling took the exam and was promoted to the right-hand man. The right-hand man said that Zhang Jiuling took the exam and was promoted to the right-hand man. The right-hand man said that he was the emperor's omission, that is, the censor.

Since Emperor Taizong Li Shimin, the Tang Dynasty granted censors great power. The official rank was not high, but he could meet the emperor anytime and anywhere, point out the emperor's mistakes, and criticize him.

Zhang Jiuling was smart and wise and not afraid of power, just like Wei Zheng in the past. Li Longji was happy and although he had the style of a wise ruler, he liked fun. Because he was good at music and was vulgar music, Zhang Jiuling told Li Longji more than once that he was not doing his job, which made him frightened when he heard the words "Right-Self-Liuyi" and often sighed in his heart: He did his own evil and could not survive.

Li Longji hurriedly handed the pipa in his hand to Gao Lishi and said, "Hurry up, hide it, let him see it, and you will make a big difference again."

News came from outside the hall that He Zhizhang and Zhang Jiuling asked for a meeting.

Li Longji pretended that he didn't hear it, and saw that Gao Lishi had hidden the pipa and invited the two of them into the hall.

With the addition of He Zhizhang, Li Longji felt much more at ease. What makes Zhang Jiuling different from Wei Zheng is that he will not scold him in front of other officials. This is also the reason why he has always kept Zhang Jiuling. Not every emperor can tolerate a minister like Li Shimin, who can't stand up in public and leave without leaving the crowd.

"What should I meet with you, two dear ministers?"

Zhang Jiuling had a square face and was very handsome and bowed, "Return to Your Majesty, I recommend a talent to Your Majesty." In addition to correcting the emperor's mistakes, the right handed-in-law also has the obligation to recommend talents.

Li Longji was shocked. Most of the civil and military officials in the court nowadays were free to eat, and some of the capable Princess Taiping and became his confidants. What they lacked was the talent, and he hurriedly said, "Who are you recommending me?"

"Pei Min, Huairou County, Youzhou!"

It turned out that He Zhizhang could not tell the exact recruitment system, so he asked his friend Zhang Jiuling. Not only was Zhang Jiuling's literary talent, but his political level was also outstanding. The corruption of the military system, based on Zhang Jiuling's knowledge, was just that without a new recruit system, arbitrary change would cause turmoil among the military. Therefore, even though Zhang Jiuling knew the key points, he did not take any measures.

Pei Min's recruitment system was deeply rooted in his taste. After careful consideration, compared with the current situation in the Tang Dynasty, the recruitment system has great potential.

Zhang Jiuling attached the most importance to talents and was the "rightist picker" on the first day he explained the importance of talents to Li Longji: he advocated paying attention to the candidates of local officials, correcting the atmosphere of valuing internal over external affairs, and selecting officials should focus on talent and not taking qualifications. This unexpectedly found that there was such a person, so how could he sit still? He directly invited He Zhizhang to come as soon as he arrived in the palace.

"Pei Min? Does this name sound familiar?" Li Longji had a little impression of this name.

Zhang Jiuling said: "It's the young man who killed the prince of the Xi clan half a year ago."

"It turned out to be him..." Sun Qi's miserable defeat in Youzhou shocked the government and the people. Li Longji, as the prince, naturally knew about this. Pei Min led the people of Huairou County to annihilate more than a thousand elite cavalry of the Xi clan and he also heard a little: "I remember that he was not old and I don't know what kind of virtue can make me look like?"

Zhang Jiuling said cautiously: "Ambition is not about age, talent is not about youth. Your Majesty will not hear that Gan Luo is the Prime Minister of Qin, and Huo Qubing is seventeen to fight to kill the enemy..."

Seeing that Zhang Jiuling was about to publish a long speech again, Li Longji hurriedly said, "I understand the truth, but I just don't know what Pei Min has to do?"

Zhang Jiuling asked He Zhizhang to tell you about the story of He Zhizhang's acquaintance with Pei Min and his tests, especially the description of the military system and the introduction of the military recruitment system, with a detailed explanation without missing a word.

Li Longji stood up and shouted in a low voice: "Are these really what Pei Min said?"

He Zhizhang said: "I dare not hide anything at all."

Li Longji took two steps back and forth with excitement. As the emperor, how could he not know that he had discussed with his confidant more than once about this matter, how to restore the system of military service as before. However, the key to the system of military service is the equal-field system. If the equal-field system cannot be fully implemented, the situation of the system of military service will not be improved.

Only Prime Minister Zhang Shuo proposed to abandon the military system of the government and solve the problem of military source by recruiting troops. However, even with Zhang Shuo's talent, he only thought about the general idea and did not find the details.

Pei Min actually said the recruitment system so complete, which is really amazing.

Zhang Shuo is his most powerful arm and an indispensable reputation in the future. How could Pei Min see even further than Zhang Shuo?
