Chapter 166 Zhang Jiuling
Xuanzong visited Mount Tai in the east to enshrine Zen. After entrusting Zen, there was a reward for advancement. Therefore, Zhang Jiuling reminded Zhang that when choosing the entourage, he should pay attention to choosing those who are of high quality, so as not to cause criticism.

However, Zhang said that many of the officials selected to climb the mountain were of lower rank and close relatives, which indeed aroused complaints.

Zhang said that he suppressed and ignored the incidents of Yu Wenrong, the censor Zhongcheng who Xuanzong admired. Zhang Jiuling reminded him "not to be unprepared", but Zhang said he didn't take it to heart.

In the [-]th year of Kaiyuan, he was promoted several times to serve as a minister. At that time, Zhang Shuo served as Zhongshu Ling. He and Zhang Jiuling had the same surname, and they became clan brothers in order of age. Zhang said he was very close and valued him. So I am willing to lean on and follow him.

In the 11th year of Kaiyuan, Zhang Jiuling was appointed as a member of Zhongshushe. In the 13th year of Kaiyuan, the emperor made a tour to the east and held a great ceremony to worship heaven and earth.

Zhang said that he personally decided to accompany the officials who climbed the mountain with the emperor. He recommended more officials from the two provinces, chief scribes, and officials close to him to climb the mountain.

At the beginning, when Zhang Shuo ordered Zhang Jiuling to draft the imperial edict, Zhang Jiuling said to Zhang:
"Officials and titles are common objects in the world, and those with high moral reputation should be ranked first, and old ministers with meritorious service should be ranked behind.

If the order is reversed, accusations and criticisms will arise. Now climbing a mountain to enshrine Zen and spreading grace, this is a major event that has never happened in a thousand years.

Famous and virtuous people cannot receive favors, but Moliu, a small official who handles paperwork in the government, is promoted first. I am just worried that after the system is introduced, people all over the world will be disappointed.

When drawing up the draft form now, things can be changed, but I hope you will carefully study and plan this matter, and don't leave any regrets. "

Zhang said:
"Things have been settled, absurd and unfounded arguments, what is there to worry about?"

In the end, Zhang Shuo did not obey. When the system was introduced, people inside and outside the court had many accusations against Zhang Shuo.

At that time, Yu Wenrong, Yushi Zhongcheng, had just been in charge of the taxation of farm households. Every time he reported to the emperor, Zhang said that he suggested that the emperor should not listen to him. Yu Wenrong was also dissatisfied with Zhang because of this. , Zhang said and did not listen to him.

Not long after, Zhang said that he was really impeached by Yu Wenrong and dismissed his official position as Zhizhengshi. Zhang Jiuling was also changed to Taichang Shaoqing, and soon he was transferred from the capital to serve as the acting governor of Jizhou.

Later, he was transferred to the governor of Hongzhou, and soon he was transferred to the governor of Guizhou, serving as the inspector of Lingnan. In April of the 14th year of Kaiyuan, Yu Wenrong, Li Linfu and others impeached Zhang Shuo. Qing.

In June, Zhang Jiuling was ordered to offer sacrifices to Nanyue and Nanhai, and then returned to the province. In the autumn of that year, Zhang Jiuling returned to Beijing. He was still accused of being attached to Zhang Shuo, transferred to a foreign official, and became the governor of Jizhou.

Zhang Jiuling asked to be dismissed from office on the grounds that his mother did not want to take the post. In March of the following year, he was re-appointed as the governor of Hongzhou.

During his tenure in Hongzhou, Zhang Jiuling wrote two poems "Huaiqiu in the County", expressing the mood of being unable to use time and being melancholy and thinking about returning home. One of them is:
The autumn wind enters the front forest, the bleak sound of high branches, the lonely wanderer thinks, and sighs who knows, the minister is famous but not established, the ambition is old, the fifty is unknown, the ancients are deeply flawed.

In my life, I have gone to decorate, and the straight road is as uninhibited, and I have not been able to cut it. Suddenly, the cold and heat shift, and the things are natural from ancient times, and the body retreats and destroys.

Long Cangjiang River, looking at the white clouds, the road is frosty and falling, the grass in the marshes is separated, if you don't know the orchids, you can use the fragrant fragrance.

In the 17th year of Kaiyuan, Zhang Shuo was honored by Xuanzong as Minister Zuo Yuxiang and a bachelor of Jixian Academy. In the 18th year of Kaiyuan, he fell ill and finally died of illness.

Zhang Shuo repeatedly recommended Zhang Jiuling to be a bachelor of Jixian Academy. In the 18th year of Kaiyuan, Zhang Jiuling was transferred to be the governor of Guizhou and the inspector of Lingnan Road.

Returning to the province on the way, he had a happy reunion with his family. In the spring of the 19th year of Kaiyuan, he took a boat from Guilin and traveled downstream to Guangzhou.

In March of the 19th year of Kaiyuan, Zhang Jiuling was called to Beijing, where he was promoted to secretary and junior supervisor, and also a bachelor and deputy prefect of Jixian Academy.

He wrote the imperial edict on behalf of the imperial edict, and wrote it for the emperor, without drafting, but with the help of pens, which was deeply relied on by Xuanzong.

In his collection of anthologies, there are as many as 114 imperial edicts drafted on behalf of the emperor, and he was promoted twice as Zhongshu Shilang.

In February of the 20th year of Kaiyuan, he became the minister of the Ministry of Industry, and also a bachelor of Jixian Academy.

Xuanzong reused him, but he didn't approve. He just appointed his younger brothers Zhang Jiugao and Zhang Jiuzhang as officials near his hometown to take care of his mother.

Zhang Jiugao's post-officials went to Guangzhou Governor and the Jiedu Jinglue Envoy of the Five Governments, and Zhang Jiuzhang's post-officials went to Lingnan Jiedu Envoy and Guangzhou Dudu.

In May of the 21st year of Kaiyuan, Zhang Jiuling was promoted to be the assistant minister of the school, and in December, he was awarded the assistant minister of Zhongshu, Tong Zhongshu Menxia, ​​who also studied national history and took charge of the government.

Zhang Jiuling suggested to farm in Henan and divert water to plant rice, so he also served as the envoy of rice fields in Henan. At that time, Zhang Shoulian, the governor of Fanyang, was arrested and escorted to the capital because of the failure of the vice-general An Lushan to attack Xi and Khitan, and requested to execute the death penalty according to the court regulations.

Zhang Jiuling played the Emperor Ming and said: "Zhang Shoulian's military orders must be carried out. An Lushan should not be exonerated from the death penalty."

The emperor specially pardoned him, and Zhang Jiuling said: "

An Lushan is an ambitious wolf with the appearance of treason on his face. He begs the emperor to kill him according to his crimes, hoping to cut off future troubles. "

The emperor said: "Don't harm a loyal and kind person just because Wang Yifu understands Shi Le's old practice."

So Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty released Anlu Mountain and returned to the vassal. When Zhang Jiuling was the order of Zhongshu, hundreds of bureaucrats celebrated their birthdays on the Tianlong Festival and offered more rare things. Appreciate it.

Zhang Jiuling also made friendly friends with Yan Tingzhi, Minister of Zhongshu, Yuan Renjing, Zuocheng of Shangshu, Liang Shengqing, the concubine of You, and Lu Yi, Zhongcheng of Yushi.

In May of the 22nd year of Kaiyuan, Zhang Jiuling was promoted to Zhongshu Ling, a bachelor of Jixian Academy, Zhiyuan, who studied national history,

In the 23rd year of Kaiyuan, he was granted the title of Dr. Jin Ziguanglu, and he was granted the title of Boss of Shixing County by tired officials, with four hundred households in Shiyi.

Li Linfu himself was ignorant, because Zhang Jiuling's character was appreciated by the emperor, and he was very jealous of him, so he recommended Niu Xianke to be the governor. Zhang Jiuling said no, Xuanzong was not happy about it.

Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty was deceived by Li Linfu's slander, so Xuanzong moved Jiuling to be the Prime Minister of Shangshuyou in the 24th year of Kaiyuan, and he was exempted from Zhizhengshi. Later, every time the prime minister recommended Gongqing, the emperor would definitely ask:
"Can integrity, quality, and measurement be like Zhang Jiuling?"

In the old rule, scholar-bureaucrats had to put the wat board in their belts and then ride on horses. Zhang Jiuling was weak and often sent someone to hold the wat board, so the imperial court set up a wat pouch.

The establishment of Wat Nang began with Zhang Jiuling. Soon after he was dismissed, he impeached Niu Xianke because of Zhou Ziliang, the supervisory censor recommended by him, which offended Xuanzong, and Zhang Jiuling was relegated to Jingzhou Chief History.
