<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > no. 1 of the parallel goods prime minister</h1>
During the Five Dynasties period, Hedong Jiedu, who used the era name of Emperor Zhaozong of Tang until the twentieth year of Tianyou (923), made Li Cunxun, the king of Jin, prepare to claim the title of emperor and claim to inherit the Tang Dynasty, and decided to choose a few capable people from the Gaomen household to be the prime minister. His original favorite candidate was the Jiedu judge Lu Qian, who intended to become prime minister, but Lu Qian resigned and recommended Dou Luge, the nephew of the late Tang Dynasty prime minister Dou Lu zhen. Therefore, Li Cunxun worshiped Dou Luge as the left minister of the Xingtai.
In fact, Douluge is not even a direct subordinate of Li Cunxun, but a subordinate of a subordinate. At the end of the Tang Dynasty, he avoided chaos and came to Zhongshan, which was the seat of the Yiwu army, dingzhou, to assist the Yiwu army that was dependent on the Jin state to make Wang Zhizhi, because he wrote a quaint style poem at the banquet, which was very much valued by Wang Zhizhi.
Once, Doulug asked to see Wang Zhizhi alone. The king thought that he was not doing a good job, and the great god wanted to come to advise him, so he made the gesture of a corporal and personally greeted him; as a result, the real purpose of Douluge was to ask his friend for an official.
Wang Chuzhi's low posture could not be exchanged for the loyalty of DouluGe, and later Wang Chuzhi was overthrown and replaced by his adopted son Wang Du and even died inexplicably, Douluge still went to work to receive his salary, and the official was a judge of the Yiwu Army.
Li Cunxun was proclaimed empress dowager, and Ren Douluge was made a servant under the door, and He was made the head of the cabinet under the Zhongshu Menxia Pingzhangshi. Also paying homage was Lu Cheng, an observer judge recommended by Lu Qian.
If the ability can keep up, the private morality is almost enough, but the ability of Douluge is:
And denglang temple, things are confused, as for the official rank proposal, the front and back are inverted.
Provincial Lang Xiao Xifu couldn't look at it anymore, and after repeated kuangzheng, Dou Luge finally knew that he was like a stream, but he was ashamed of anything.
Another prime minister, Lu Cheng, who was on the top of the door, was not much better, and even because his personal affairs could not be satisfied, he whipped the Officials of the Xingtang Government, and Guanglu Qing and the Xingtang Shaoyin Rentuan could not look down, and went to Lu Cheng to discuss the explanation, but was scolded by Lu Cheng. However, Ren Tuan was Li Cunxun's cousin-in-law, and if he provoked Ren Tuan, he provoked Li Cunxun, and Li Cunxun was so angry that he almost gave Lu Cheng death, and although he was persuaded by Lu Qian, the prime minister did not have to do it.
After winning the one-on-one competition, Dou Luge, who couldn't do anything, turned out to be the only person of Hou Tang.
Li Cunxun plotted a surprise attack on the capital of Houliang, leaving Dou Luge and others to stay in Xingtang Province, preparing to become a ren if they did not succeed. Of course we know that he succeeded.
After becoming the lord of the Central Plains, Li Cunxun continued to use Douluge as prime minister, but at the same time appointed Guo Chongtao, a senior privy councillor, as his attendant. Later, Guo Chongtao had the final say in the central decision-making, and Dou Luge was only responsible for punching in the newspaper and drinking tea.
How much ability to do big things, if it is maintained in this way, in fact, it is not bad for anyone. However, after the Tang Dynasty was newly established, it was necessary to re-establish the system, and Neither Guo Chongtao nor Dou Luge was familiar with this, so it was suggested that Li Cunxun appoint some more prime ministers who were familiar with the Tang dynasty system.
In this context, Guo Chongtao recommended Zhao Guangyin, the son of Zhao Yin, the former chancellor of the dynasty, and the younger brother of Zhao Guangfeng, the later Liang chancellor, who was familiar with the ritual system and was exactly the talent needed by the imperial court. Douluge also did not want to fall behind, and recommended asasan doctor and rebbe waiter Wei said. So Li Cunxun worshipped Zhao Guangyin and Wei as prime ministers.
In the same year, Li Cunxun also appointed Dou Luge as an envoy to judge rent and presided over the state tax administration. But in fact, the person in charge of taxation is Kong Qian, a capable deputy envoy, but he is helpless to be born low, and there is no one on the top, so he can only be relegated to the second in command. Kong Qian was not reconciled, and went to Guo Chongtao to sue Dou Luge for his ineffective handling of affairs, and also poked out the fact that Dou Luge borrowed hundreds of thousands of provincial treasury money with a handwritten letter. Guo Chongtao taught Dou Luge a lesson for this. Fearful, Douluge asked Guo Chongtao to replace him, but Guo Chongtao refused to do so, and finally transferred Zhang Xian back to the old renter who had been transferred to Tokyo.
This Tokyo, also known as the capital of Yidu, was the former Xingtang Province, where Li Cunxun ascended the throne; during the Tang Dynasty it was called Wei Prefecture, which was the seat of wei Bojun.
Zhang Xian is a capable one, he transferred back, Kong Qian still turned what right? Kong Qian was anxious, and cheekily went to unite Dou Luge: Renting Yong can be a capable official, but how can such a heavy place as Tokyo leave Zhang Xian to sit in the town? I think that King Yin of Xingtang is more than morally honest and intellectually deficient, and he is more suitable to be a renter than a magistrate, and his ability is lacking, so don't we still have us to help him?
Dou Luge felt that it was reasonable, and went to persuade Guo Chongtao, and Guo Chongtao went to persuade Li Cunxun, so Zhang Xian did not move, and Wang Zhengyan came to pick up Dou Luge's class instead. And what Kong Qian needed was exactly what Wang Zhengyan was such a confused and weak leader. Under the background of rotten people, kong Qian finally became a leader as he wished, which was the last word.
The rent is improper, and Douluge can concentrate on being the prime minister, but he has never learned how to be the prime minister.
He "did not take it as a matter of persuasion to enter the sages, but cultivated only and sought the art of immortality", and for the sake of immortality, he "tasted dansha, vomited blood for several days, and died and healed".
As for recommending Wei, it was not for the sake of the country, but just to make himself an ally in the court.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > parallel goods Prime Minister No. 2</h1>
Wei said that there was a prominent ancestor of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Wei Xiaokuan, a famous uncle of Lingnan Jiedushi, Wei Zhou, and a father who sat on the side of the party, Fujian Observation Envoy Wei Xiu. Wei said that he was a late Tang Dynasty scholar with a volume of poems; he served as a palace attendant and right secretary wailang, but was demoted to the South China Sea (now Guangzhou) because of the incident.
In fact, Wei said that he has a relative with a very strong background in the South China Sea. One of his cousins married Liu Zhiqian, the Assassin of Fengzhou, and had a son, Liu Yin, who later became an envoy to Lingnan jiedushi and divided the side.
If Wei said that he would settle down with the encounter and take root on the spot, he could still mix with a native uncle.
However, at that time, most of the Central Plains clans were proud of serving the Central Plains and ashamed of serving the local separatist regime, and Wei said that it was no exception, and after encountering amnesty, he chose to return to the Central Plains and became a ceremonial attendant of Later Liang.
Wei said that like Dou Luge, he ignored the government and left it to Guo Chongtao. No matter what, it is better than blindness. But at the same time, Wei said that he was in contact with people with bad manners, and he was hacked along with Dou Lu Ge, who recommended him.
Douluge is not wronged. He and Wei said that they had appointed officials to their respective sons Dou Lusheng and Wei Tao respectively, and both were appointed as scavengers.
The duty is to supervise and correct the prime ministers, to be public and private, to be reasonable, and who has the reason for the son to supervise Lao Tzu?
Seeing that this pass of public opinion could not be passed, the two grandfathers could only re-award the two sons as foreign langs.
But that's not all—Doulu ge used Wei Tao as a bachelor of Hongwenguan, and Wei said that he used Dou Lu to promote him to a bachelor of Jixian Academy.
If you don't promote your own son, is it not collusion?
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > the wind direction</h1>
Forty years of Liang and Jin hegemony has just ended, a large number of materials are scattered, the new dynasty was just built, a hundred wastes are waiting to be revived, it is inevitable that there will be some negligence, taking advantage of the opportunity to exploit the loophole is far more than the two grandfathers, many people forge the spectrum to impersonate the famous door, or use others or their own father and brother identity to seek officials, in order to forge identity, even the elders and juniors can recognize the opposite, obviously they are other people's uncles and uncles, but in turn call others uncles and uncles.
Even Guo Chongtao is no exception.
Once, Dou Luge and Wei Said asked him: Guo Ziyi, the famous general of the Tang Dynasty Zhongxing, the King of Fenyang, was originally from Taiyuan and later moved to Huayin, and your ancestors lived in Yanmen for generations.
This kind of questioning method itself is a bit inducing Guo Chongtao to admit it. Guo Chongtao was also not polite, and immediately answered: "In the face of war, the family's genealogy was lost, but I heard the elders say that I am four generations away from the King of Fenyang." ”
Not to mention the issue of place of origin, Guo Chongtao was born 168 years later than Guo Ziyi, only four generations away?
For such a loophole, Douluge is of course a pole climb: then he is your cousin's ancestor!
Of course, Guo Chongtao is a great contributor to assisting Li Cunxun in fighting the world, even if he climbs a prominent family lineage, his career is only icing on the cake. But after climbing Guo Ziyi, he really believed that he was a famous person. Although he had made great contributions to the country, he was also a power maniac, and from then on he "screened out more streams, drew up flashy features, and despised the old", and also refused some talented cold soldiers to seek official positions on the grounds of "fear of being scorned by celebrities".
Guo Chongtao himself pretended to admit it, but did not allow others to pretend to confess, and with the support of Dou Luge and Wei Shuo, who were already from the high gate, he began to investigate, and as soon as he investigated, he found that nine-tenths of the officials seeking officials were forgeries and invalid. Those whose careers were shattered by this could only cry and even starve to death.
Some people say that such a cumulative drawback has been for many years, and Guo Chongtao is too much, right? Wei said that you are also the prime minister, why don't you Kuangzheng?
Wei said that the pro-party told Wei, and Wei said very calmly: "This is What Guo Hanzi means, what is the matter with me?" ”
During this time, Wei said that he was also added as a Zhongshu waiter, Mei Zizi. Guo Chongtao also never thought of stopping at the right time, there was a man named Wu Yanhao, because he used the appointment letter of his dead uncle to seek an official incident, he simply did not have to starve to death, and was directly executed. Dou Luge, Zhao Guangyin, and Wei said that the three prime ministers pleaded guilty for this. Li Cunxun issued an edict saying that he would not hold them accountable, because he still needed these people, and when he was a concubine of the Han clan, the envoys were Dou Luge and Wei Shuo.
The favored concubine Liu Shi was made empress, but she was originally made a concubine. The inversion of wives and concubines is only a microcosm of Li Cunxun's court etiquette system.
In the third year of Tongguang (925), Li Cunxun sent Guo Chongtao to assist the crown prince Li Jiquan of Wei in attacking Former Shu, but the following year, Empress Liu listened to rumors, believing that Guo Chongtao was going to be unfavorable to her own son Li Jitao, and secretly ordered Li Jitao to kill Guo Chongtao, and Li Cunxun could only acquiesce to the status quo and admit that Guo Chongtao was guilty and deserved to die.
Wei said that when he saw that the wind had turned, he sent his own protégé Zuo Shiwei Wang Song and the official Wailang Li Shenyi to say bad things about Guo Chongtao.
The masses were speechless, the prime minister, who did this?
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > die</h1>
Because of Guo Chongtao's death, the Later Tang army was panicked, and finally broke out in the Yidu Mutiny, and the rebels supported the general Li Siyuan as the leader. Dou Luge and Wei said that they consulted with the privy councillor Li Shaohong on the military plane, and suggested that Li Cunxun take control of The Water and wait for Li Jiquan to be trained, and Li Cunxun accepted it.
But soon, Li Cunxun died in another mutiny. When Li Siyuan rushed to the capital Luoyang, Dou Luge and Wei Shuo changed again and became the leaders of persuading the new jun. Li Siyuan declared himself emperor, Li Ji committed suicide in despair, and Shangshu Renyuan (the brother of Li Cunxun's brother-in-law Ren Tuan) led his army to Li Siyuan.
Li Siyuan served as a close confidant of the Privy Counsellor An Chongzhi as prime minister, and Ren Yuan, because of his great merits in taking the army into the shares, also worshiped as the prime minister; he did not think that there were too many prime ministers, and still retained the position of Wei Shu and Dou LuGe, and Jin Wei said that he was a servant under the door and also a hubu Shangshu and supervised the revision of the history of the country.
However, one day after another, the two grandfathers knew who was the rising star of the political arena, so they both went to hug Ren Yuan's thigh.
The first to feel the crisis was Dou luge, because Li Cunxun was going to be buried, and he was appointed as the envoy of the mountain mausoleum, that is, responsible for building Li Cunxun's mausoleum. After the mausoleum was repaired, he felt that he should be deposed and released as an emissary, but the imperial court did not tell him about the future work arrangements, and his relatives and friends were in a hurry, so he could only enter the palace himself to ask.
An Zhong was angry and reprimanded him in public: As long as the imperial court does not remove you from the position of mountain envoy, you are not without a class, and you will enter the dynasty without waiting for the imperial court to arrange a new official position for you.
In this way, even the most stupid people can see that Douluge and Wei said that there is no tomorrow.
The problems with them were not difficult to find: they were disrespectful when they played things in front of the emperor; the hundred officials' fenglu were all discounted, but the douluge father and son took the full amount; the hundred officials' fenglu were calculated from the time of the new king's ascension to the throne in May, but the douluge father and son were counted from the first month; Wei said that because he did not have too many sons, he actually reported his grandson as a son to be an official; because the candidate official Wang Qi paid bribes, he appointed him near Luoyang.
Xiao Xifu, an old subordinate who had often helped Dou Luge, was promoted to the position of Counselor, but Dou Luge and Wei Shu blocked it. Xiao Xifu held a grudge, what is your douluge thing I haven't counted yet? So he said that these two were not loyal to the old emperor Li Cunxun, flattered and got by; he also added oil and vinegar and made something out of nothing, saying that Dou Luge forcibly seized the people's land and connived at the tianke to kill people; Wei said that he seized the neighbor's well and possessed the treasure hidden in the well.
Li Siyuan issued an edict, degrading the history of the thorns of Lu Gechen Prefecture, and Wei said that the history of the thorns of The Prefecture was given to Xiao Xifu and promoted to the rank of Scattered Horseman. However, the two Xiangye did not have to go to these barbarian lands in Hunan to work, and four days later the new edict was issued, which was demoted to Feizhou and Yizhou Sihu respectively, and they had to go to work in today's Guizhou Province; but they still did not have to go, because after another day, there was a new edict, Dou luge exiled lingzhou, Wei said exiled Hezhou, even went to work, directly into Sichuan as a cloth cloth people.
This was not enough, and Li Siyuan added another edict:
Even if the amnesty is granted to the world, it has nothing to do with Dou Luge and Wei Said!
At this time, it was only two months before the new monarch ascended the throne.
Although Ren Yuan knew how much water these two had, he knew even more that if the prime minister vacated two at once, An Zhongzhi would definitely intervene to arrange for his own cronies to be on top, so he asked An Chongzhi for help in the name of compassion, and then persuaded Li Siyuan to raise his noble hand. These two did not refute his face, but they did not do as he said, that is, they did not pay attention to it at all.
The next year, that is, in the second year of Tiancheng (927), when Li Siyuan was crusading against Gao Jixing in Jingnan Jiedu, he suddenly remembered that when He had destroyed Shu, Gao Jixing asked Later Tang for The Three Prefectures of Chu, Zhong, and Wansanzhou on the grounds of meritorious service, but the then chancellors Dou Luge and Wei Shuo approved it, and this was repaid! An edict was issued to hold them accountable.
At the beginning, Wei said that when he returned to the Central Plains from the South China Sea, he did pass through Jiangling, the seat of Jingnan, and had a relationship with Gao Jixing, who was still called Gao Jichang at that time. However, neither Li Cunxun nor Li Siyuan were fools who gave away the land, and the magistrates of the prefectures of Chu, Zhong, and Wan were still appointed by the Later Tang and were not strictly handed over to Gao Jixing, and the two xiang masters could not have crossed the emperor himself to make such a decision to cut off the land. This time, although Gao Jixing attacked and captured the three states, he was quickly taken back by Later Tang.
Therefore, it is difficult to say how big the pot Dou Luge and Wei said were in terms of facts, but for Li Siyuan, these two really had no value in living, and they were given death and exiled by the family.
If morality is not worthy of the position, there will be disasters; virtue is thin and dignified, wisdom is small and scheming is large, strength is small and the task is heavy, and it is rarely enough. - "Zhou Yi Zhi Ci"
After all, even Guo Chongtao, An Chongjie, Ren Yuan, Zhang Xian, and Kong Qian, who were more capable and more meritorious than them, did not get a good ending in the end, so why should they make an exception?
