C321 Great tang dynasty(part ii) (2/2)

When this matter reached Li Shimin, he was extremely unhappy.

Helpless, he advised Yuchi Jingde, ”When I read the Han Dynasty, I found out that the meritorious officials of Master Henggao were able to save me very little, and I often blamed him in my heart. After ascending the throne, he had always wanted to protect the meritorious officials and ensure the safety of his descendants. But after you became a high-ranking official, you kept on breaking the nation's law, only then did you realize that it wasn't Henggao's fault that Han Xin and Peng Yue had been killed. The important thing in governing a country is only reward and punishment. We cannot give too much of an extra favor. We must strictly demand of ourselves, and not do anything regretful. ”

After hearing these sincere and earnest words, Yuchi Jingde hurriedly kowtowed to apologize. From then on, he restrained himself.

Of course, none of this had happened yet in this world. The conflict between Yuchi Gong and the others had yet to escalate to such an extent. At this moment, only a few of them had guessed what the future might hold.

But just when everyone was looking puzzled, Fang Xuanling suddenly said: ”Your Majesty, to understand what Xiao Wen and the Han Emperor mean, the first thing you have to do is to find out what the use of crossbow is. Therefore, this subject needs His Majesty to gather the craftsmen, and study whether these crossbow can be produced in the Great Tang Dynasty. ”

”Oh?” Li Shimin's eyes lit up.

Last night, his instincts told him that if this crossbow could be copied in the Great Tang Dynasty, it would be the decisive factor in deciding what the Human Emperor and Xiao Wen wanted to convey to him.

However, it was just a flash of intuition on his part, so he could not pursue the matter.

But now, Fang Xuanling could vaguely guess the meaning that Xiao Wen wanted to express, it truly made Li Shimin overjoyed.

Fang Xuanling was born in a family of eunuchs. His great-grandfather, Fang Yi, was a General Wei Zhenyuan, and County Governor Song An.

Father Fang Yanqian, studious, the ”Five Classics”, rich in eloquence, Wei, Qi Shan scholars.

Fang Xuzhen had been living with her father ever since she was a child. Wise since childhood, good poetry, able to write, rich in history, proficient in Confucian classics, and father learned a good hand of calligraphy, kung fu. At the age of eighteen, the state raised an officer, one after the other, a knight and a lieutenant-general.

It could be said that in terms of education, Fang Xuanling was probably the most cultured person here.

Historically, in the last year of the Sui Dynasty, when the world was in chaos, Jin Yang had stayed behind to guard Li Yuan and lead his troops to pass the trials. Fang Xuanling had voted for Li Shimin in Weibei and repeatedly left the Qin Wang.

In order to repay Li Shimin's kindness of knowing what was happening, Fang Xuanling put in all his effort into planning for the military and political affairs. For every attack that destroyed a region, every person in the army would use all their might to search for treasures and foreign objects. Only Fang Xuanling would first gather all the talented people, and then place the scheming and the courageous and warlike people into his court. They would privately become friends with them, and serve Li Shimin together.

After defeating Wang Shi Chong, Fang Xuanling thought that Zhang Liang was ”wise” and recommended him to Li Shimin as the general of the Qin Wang.

Others such as the nimble and talented Xue Cai, the ”Wang Ling, Zhou Bo, and festivals” Li Da Liang, the ”Wise and knowledgeable Wang Zuo”, and the ”,” were all recommended by Fang Xuanling before being highly valued by him.

Wu De Nine years (626), Participating in the change of the Xuanwu Sect, first in terms of cultivation with Du Ruhui and the other four.

After Li Shimin ascended to the throne, Fang Xuanling took charge of the imperial court's political affairs. Previous positions of the Minister of the Kingdom of Liangliang include Zuo Liu, Sikong, and so on, and they are all official officials of the Kingdom of Liangliang. In the 22nd year of the Chastity Monastery (648), Fang Xuanling passed away from illness and returned the title of Grand Commandant with the title ”Wen Zhao”. After that, he would be entitled to the Imperial Court of Taizong Temple.

It could be said that Li Shimin had already bestowed an extremely great amount of honor to him.

Fang Xuanling was good at scheming, but Du Ruhui was decisive in her actions.

The future generations would use him and Du Ruhui as role models, and collectively call them ”Fang, Du”. New Tang Book, the original issue of its evaluation is: ”Xuan age, strong night, free public integrity, do not want to lose everything. There is no taboo, good people, if you own it. Ming Dynasty government, and decorations for the elegant, legal order, for peace. He who looks down upon others does not ask for anything, though he is vile enough to do his best. ”Or if you give up something, you will find yourself guilty of a crime, being wary and acting as if you have no tolerance.”

”If it's the room, perhaps I can figure out the reason behind it.” Li Shimin thought about it expectantly, and told Fang Xuanling about how he called for a master craftsman last night.
