Hi everyone, my name is Du You, I was born during the Tang Dynasty. During the Tang Dynasty, I enjoyed all the glory and wealth, and the highest position was "prime minister". Moreover, I am also quite accomplished in literary history, and I think most people remember the "General Classics" I compiled, which is a precedent in the history of Chinese historiography. My good grandson Du Mu also inherited my superb literary talent and became a famous poet of the Tang Dynasty.
Cough, not much to say, first briefly introduce the father. His father, Du Hope, once fought with the Tubo people and killed them to pieces, which can be described as "one of the hopes of the whole Tang Dynasty".
Because my father was a hero, I became a military officer in Jinan very early. Once I went to visit my father's old friend Wei Yuanfu. Since Wei Yuanfu's uncle was a runzhou assassin, it was inevitable that he would encounter some kind of adultery, murder and adultery. But people are very sorry for their lives, so the public is justified, the mother says that the mother is reasonable, and the two sides have their own opinions, and Uncle Wei is not easy to judge. Then Father Weber asked me what I thought. I used logic to deduce the truth and falsehood, which provided help for Uncle Weber to judge right from wrong.
Father Weber thought I was a wizard and arranged for me to join the judiciary. Later, Uncle Wei was transferred to the post of envoy to Zhejiang West and Huainan, and he always took me with him.
With Weber, the king, taking me this potential bronze, of course, my ability to do things has grown a lot.

The imperial court then fished me out of the local government to the central government, and also let me hold the posts of Langzhong of the Ministry of Works and the envoy of Jianghuai Qingmiao. When Yang Yan became the prime minister, I successively served as Jinbu Langzhong, waterway transport envoy, Du Zhilian and Hui envoy, and Hubu shilang, and promoted all the way.
What is the concept of these official positions? It can be summed up in two simple and crude words: money. At that time, the grain of the army was transported by water, and I was responsible for the work of water transportation.
During the jianzhong years, there were armies fighting in heshuo, so there was no one to cultivate the fields, and the people were poor and hungry.
When I saw these scenes, I remembered that we officials were well fed and warmly dressed, and I felt very deeply, so I planned to play for the emperor and reduce the officials. In order to impress the emperor's heart, I went to great lengths:
Han Guangwu Jianwu Waste County four hundred, the rate of ten departments one ... There were 600 officials in Zhenguanchu Province. The basis of setting up officials is to rule the people, so the ancients counted people and placed officials, and refused to set them up. From the Han Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, because of the difficulty of the conquest, the provincial officials sincerely saved the shortcomings.
I first quoted the scriptures and then combined them with reality to show that the problem of bureaucratic redundancy is very serious.
Now that Li Miao is withering, there are 1.3 million households in the world, and His Majesty's emissaries have only received three million, one-third more than Tianbao, and they have two-fifths of the floating in the middle, and those who have given gifts have been consumed, and those who eat are as old as ever, can they not be reformed?
Then the current economic problems are introduced for analysis.
He also opened the house yi with the three divisions, Guanglu Doctor, also official names, with too many, back to the class. Establish a system at any time, and change when it encounters malpractice, so why change it to Yahweh according to the rules?
Finally, I cut to the point and explained that it is not right to set up too many official positions.
I was very satisfied with this advice I wrote, and I was in tears as I wrote it. However, after handing it over to the imperial court, I did not get a reply for a long time.
So I poked and prodded to find out what the situation was. It turned out that the emperor didn't look at it at all...?

Later, when Lu Qi came to power, he hated me very much, so he transferred me to a more remote place. First I was made the Assassin of Raozhou, and later promoted to lingnan jiedushi. Although I was a little unaccustomed to this part of Lingnan, I still built roads for them in all directions and re-planned the direction of urban and rural development.
Harm, although I used to stay in the capital city, I had to do things when I got outside, right?
At this time, the imperial court recalled me again, and assigned me the post of envoy of Huainan Jiedushi, asking me to lead troops to quell the riots in Xuzhou. But I must admit that my father was very good at fighting, but I basically did not inherit his strong military genes. If I had to strategize and adapt to changes, it would never be possible.
So I decided to retreat and advance, first to ensure the supply of materials. For my subordinates, I adhere to the principle that everyone is happy. Unexpectedly, Li Ya and Zheng Yuan jumped on top of me, and as a result, they were also deposed by the imperial court.
After going around, I returned to Beijing and became the inspector Sikong Tong zhongshu menxia Pingzhangshi, and within a few decades, I became the tomb keeper of the two emperors, Dezong and Xianzong.
During this time, two things happened that impressed me a lot.
At that time, Wang Shuwen and I were both duzhi salt and iron envoys, but I was his deputy. I thought to myself, Wang Shuwen is the prime minister, how can I overpower him for no reason?
So I didn't personally deal with the salt and iron affairs, so as to avoid the limelight. Later, Wang Shuwen was unscrupulous and did too much. After he returned home to guard the funeral, I personally took care of the salt and iron affairs. But LangZhong Chen Zhi did not know each other, and when I handled affairs, I also had to inform Wang Shuwen, so I also transferred Chen Zhi away.
I remember this conspiracy to depose the Prince. Obedient, still want to pull me into the company? I sternly refused at that time, and I was almost put by Wang Shuwen. But fortunately, Wang Shuwen also failed in the end.

I still remember that when the party wanted to unite with Tibet to do things, the manchu generals were full of passion for this, saying that they must be beaten to the ground and serve the country.
But my greatest wish is world peace. And I think that if someone else takes the initiative to hit me, it must be because we are not good enough ourselves. So I played it to the emperor with great vigour:
In the past Zhou Xuan Zhongxing, the fox was harmful, chased after Taiyuan, and stopped at the situation, did not want to harm China, and was angry with Yuanyi. Qin's troops resisted the Xiongnu in the north and the Qiang in the west, and they formed grievances and chaos. The king of gai saints ruled the world, but he wanted to appease the people, and as for the quicksand in the west, and gradually in the sea in the east, in the north and south, to stop the sound religion, wouldn't he be tired inside and outside?
I thought it was important to tell the emperor about history, so I quoted the scriptures as I did last time. However, in order to let the emperor have a good first impression of this sonata, I also specially emphasized that "the emperor has a lot of land." ”
Now that the ugly side is strong and the side is not realistic, it is advisable to choose a good general carefully, make it complete, forbid the rebuke, show faith, punish when coming, and be careful when you go. He should be gentle and reform his treacherous schemes. Why do we need to revitalize the division and take the labor fee?
Then I quoted Guan Zhong's statement to express my point of view: be friendly with the people on the side of the party, choose excellent generals to garrison the frontier, and show the sincerity of the imperial court.
Quoting the scriptures + acupuncture and making suggestions, or a familiar recipe, or a familiar taste. Unlike the previous sonata, it was completely ignored. The emperor read my sonata, praised it, and, also adopted, hahahahaha. At that moment, I was greatly satisfied.
Overall, I'm quite happy with my life. He has been a minister, a hot-blooded young man who has played on the top, and has also built a lot of pavilions to drink with friends. In my later years, after my wife's death, I also straightened out a beautiful concubine, and my life was complete.
Although, sometimes I also want to have the heroic ability of my father Du To hope to lead soldiers to fight.
