Idioms and allusions

Fang Xuanling defected to Li Shimin when Li Shimin had just started his army. Instead of being familiar with him at first sight, he became the leader of the country. He had always been around him and planned strategies. He was regarded by Li Shimin as the first meritorious official in the founding of the Tang Dynasty. After the change of Xuanwumen, Fang Xuanling became the first assistant of Zhenguan. He was in charge of the government for 22 years until his death. Less than a year after Fang Xuanling died, so did Li Shimin. Twenty three years of "Zhenguan rule" came to an end. Fang Xuanling was not only the founder of the Tang Dynasty, but also the first Prime Minister of Zhenguan. when Li Shimin was the king of Qin, Du Ruhui served as an official of the king of Qin, Cao Canjun, and soon he was transferred to be the governor of Shaanxi. At that time, many of the royal staff were transferred to local officials, and Li Shimin was very worried. Fang Xuanling said: "there is no pity for others. Du Ruhui is a talent to assist the emperor. If the king wants to run all directions, he must be there." So Li Shimin immediately went up and asked Du Ruhui to be the official of his palace. Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling often follow Li Shimin in's expedition, and give advice and strategies. There are a lot of affairs in the army. Du Ruhui took them into his hands and made a decision immediately. He was very quick. Li Shimin often sent Fang Xuanling into the palace to play. Gaozu sighed, "Xuanling plays for my son. Although he is thousands of miles away, he seems to have an interview with Shimin." Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui also participated in the planning of Xuanwumen's change. They secretly went in and out of the palace of King Qin to help Li Shimin make up his mind and give advice. They killed Prince Li Jiancheng and Qi King Li Yuanji, and finally made Li Shimin emperor. In 629 ad, Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, appointed Fang Xuanling as the Secretary of the Shang Dynasty, Zuo pushe, and Du Ruhui as the right pushe. He said to them, "as pushe, you should widely search for talents and confer official posts according to your abilities. This is the duty of the prime minister. Recently I heard that you don't have enough time to accept the resignation lawsuit. How can you help me to seek talents? "So I ordered:" the specific affairs of Shangshu province should be handled by Youcheng of Shangshu, and only the important matters that need to be played should be handled by Youfu. " Fang Xuanling was well versed in politics and literature. He worked day and night for fear of making a mistake. He uses the law to be generous and fair. He and Du Ruhui worked together to select scholars, spared no effort, and even the system structure of Shangshu province was decided by the two through consultation. Every time Emperor Taizong discussed with Fang Xuanling, he always said, "it must be decided by Du Ruhui." When Du Ruhui came, he finally adopted Fang Xuanling's strategy, because Fang Xuanling was good at planning and Du Ruhui was good at making decisions. Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui are very congenial, working together for the country. Therefore, the virtuous prime ministers of the Tang Dynasty were Fang and Du. In March 630 ad, Du Ruhui was seriously ill. Taizong sent the prince to greet him, and then went to see him personally. On the 19th, Du Ruhui died. Every time Taizong got something good, he would always think of Du Ruhui and send someone to give it to his family. After a long time, talking about Du Ruhui, I can't help crying. Taizong said to Fang Xuanling, "you and Ruhui help me together. Now I can only see you, not Ruhui." In 648, Fang Xuanling was seriously ill. Emperor Taizong called him to the Yuhua palace and asked him to enter the palace in a sedan chair and come down next to the emperor's throne. When they met, they shed tears. Taizong kept him in the palace for recuperation. When he heard that his condition had slightly improved, he was overjoyed. When he heard that his condition had worsened, he was worried and haggard. Fang Xuanling on the table, advised Taizong to stop the Korean expedition. Fang Xuanling's son Fang Yiai married Princess Gaoyang, the daughter of Taizong. Taizong said to the princess, "your father-in-law is so sick that he is still worrying about state affairs." So Taizong went to visit him in person, holding Fang Xuanling's hand and parting with him. He was so sad that he couldn't help it. On July 24, Fang Xuanling died of illness. Tang Taizong's "Fang Mou Du Duan" system is very clever. The employment is not only reflected in the number of talents, but also in the reasonable allocation of talents. In a large group of talents, we need not only individual advantages, but also the best group structure. There are few "all-round talents" and "partial talents" are the vast majority, but a good combination of "partial talents" can form a greater "all-round talents".
