At this time, Yao Chongren was the governor of Tongzhou, and he was summoned by Xuanzong secretly, so he had to go. When Yao Chong arrived, Xuanzong was hunting. Xuanzong asked him if he could do this. He said that when he was 20 years old, he used to shout eagles and chase animals for fun, so he could do it even though he was old, so he joined the hunting ranks of Xuanzong. He ran freely in the hunting ground, fast and slow, which satisfied Xuanzong everywhere. After the hunting strike, Xuanzong asked him for his opinions on state affairs, and he talked about them with great eloquence. Xuanzong listened and said, "you should be my prime minister." Knowing that Xuanzong was broad-minded and determined to govern, Yao Chong deliberately provoked him and did not immediately salute him. Xuanzong is very strange.
