Speaking of Zhang Jiuling, what will everyone think of?
Some young friends may think of the Deyun Society cross-talk actor for the first time, Xiao Hei, the master brother of the "Nine" character section in "Yunhe Jiuxiao Dragon Soaring Around the Sea", and Zhang Jiuling, the runner-up of the Oriental Satellite TV last year.
No kidding, we're writing about historical figures. Many people may think of the Tang poem "The sea is born of the bright moon, and the end of the world is at this time." However, not many people know that Zhang Jiuling has been the prime minister, but because his poetry attainment is too high, his merits in being the prime minister have been ignored. In fact, he was also very successful as prime minister, and he can be called a generation of famous ministers.
Zhang Jiuling (673–740), courtesy name Zishou ( Zi Shou ) , was a native of Qujiang , Shaozhou ( present-day Shaoguan , Guangdong ) . Tang Dynasty Kaiyuan famous minister, politician, writer, poet.
Zhang Jiuling's poem was the first to promote "Looking at the Moon and Huaiyuan": "The sea is born with a bright moon, and the end of the world is at this time." The lover complained about the night, and even thought of each other at night. Extinguish the candle and fill the light, and the cloak feel dewy. Can't afford to give away, but also sleep in the dream of a good period. ”
"Bright moon born on the sea" closely follows the word "looking at the moon", and "the end of the world at this time" buckles "Huaiyuan", starting with a natural sentence and clinging to the topic. The jaw is written, the multi-lover resents this long night, and cannot sleep all night for the moon, and here it is written that the multi-lover is far away and bitter, and it is difficult to sleep from bitter thought. Neck joint writing, extinguishing candles and looking at the moon, clear light full of houses, dew weight deeper, standing for a long time, thinking of people far away. Tail Lian, writing that because he misses distant people and cannot see each other, he can't help but have the idea of giving the moon to distant people in the face of Yuehua.
In the poem, everywhere is not far from the bright moon, the sentences are not far away from the heart, the moon is written so tenderly, the love is written so calmly, and the love of the poem is so lingering and not sentimental. Zhang Jiuling's poetry writing skills can be seen from this. Of course, the twelve poems of his "Encounter Poems" are also quite well written.
Speaking of Zhang Jiuling's lineage, this is a big deal, after he claimed to be Zhang Liang, a famous scholar under Liu Bang in the Western Han Dynasty, whether it was true or not, there is no way to examine.
When he was young, he was very intelligent, he began to write articles at the age of seven, began to be an official during the Zhongzong period, and when Emperor Xuanzong took the first annual leave, he worshiped the prime minister, behaved elegantly, and had an extraordinary demeanor, which was probably due to his origins as a Lingnan scholar, Geng Zhi and gentle, and his style was very neat, and he was known as "Qujiang Demeanor". It is also in line with what he said about Zhang Liang's descendants, who want to leave Zhang Liang's posture in the Western Han Dynasty, gentle and elegant.
After becoming prime minister, Zhang Jiuling made full use of his rights, selected the best and the brightest, and promoted a group of talented people, who were loyal and conscientious in their duties, who were impartial and honest, who spoke out and dared to give advice, who did not bend the law for personal gain, who did not tend to be inflamed and attached to the situation, and who dared to fight against the evil forces.
At that time, although the Tang Dynasty was the rule of Kaiyuan, there were still many ills, and he bluntly advised Xuanzong, demanding that the rule of the royal way be used instead of the rule of hegemony, and he knew that water could carry boats and overturn boats, and since he wanted to create a prosperous world like Taizong,it was necessary to strictly manage punishment, oppose the use of poor soldiers, reduce military service, support agriculture, make the people live a rich life, be satisfied with their hearts, appoint virtuous people, and report on the situation in various places in a timely manner, and his series of policy controls played an indispensable role in laying the foundation for the opening up of the Kaiyuan prosperous world.
Above the court, he repeatedly advised Emperor Xuanzong to live in peace and think of danger, and Concubine Wu huifei in the harem was favored, and many times wanted to depose the crown prince Li Ying and establish his own son, sending people to lobby Zhang Jiuling, who was scolded by Zhang Jiuling on the basis of reason, maintaining a period of calm in the harem.
For An Lushan's rebellion, Zhang Jiuling can be said to be the first person to foresee, in the twenty-fourth year of the new century, An Lushan served as the general of Pinglu, and lost the battle against the Khitans, Zhang Shoujue asked the imperial court to be beheaded. Earlier, when An Lushan entered the court, The Prime Minister Zhang Jiuling said to Pei Guangting, the attendant, "Those who are in chaos in Youzhou will do this. After losing this battle, he wrote a note saying: "If You send an army, you will behead Zhuang Jia; Sun Wu will also behead the concubines of the palace." If the Shoujue army ordered it, LuShan should not be spared death. ”
It can be seen from this that Zhang Jiuling had seen very early that An Lushan was a treacherous person who would inevitably rebel in the future, and suggested that he be killed early, but Xuanzong ultimately did not believe it, and in order to show the emperor's favor, he was acquitted. Later, An Lushan did indeed set off the An Shi Rebellion, Sheng Tang quickly turned from prosperity to decline, and Xuanzong fled to Chengdu, thinking about what Zhang Jiuling said in the past, and regretting it.
Unfortunately, Zhang Jiuling did not last long under Li Linfu's rumors, and Xuanzong's easy obedience to rumors led to Zhang Jiuling's dismissal, and he was later demoted to the position of Governor of Jingzhou.
Many famous prime ministers in history either died in exile or died of illness in exile.
Zhang Jiuling did not escape this fate, and in 740 AD, Zhang Jiuling died of illness in Qujiang, Shaozhou.
Zhang Jiuling is a brilliant literary scholar with excellent poetry and literature, especially his achievements in poetry art. In the poetry of the Tang Dynasty, he was an important person who, after Chen Ziang, vigorously ranked the Liang Decadent Wind, traced the Bones of the Han and Wei Winds, and opened up the situation of the Tang Dynasty. It can be said that he influenced the development of a generation of poetry with his poetic creation and political status.
Zhang Jiuling was one of the sages of the Kaiyuan period and the only chancellor of the Tang Dynasty who was born from Lingnan Scholars. He was honest and gentle, and his style was very neat, and he was known as "Qujiang demeanor". Even after the resignation, if someone recommended talents to Xuanzong, Xuanzong asked, "Is his demeanor as good as the ninth age?" ”
