Why can't Zhang Jiuling, a famous generation, be reused by Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty?

We have said that it is a "generation of celebrities", but you can't be reused as a prime minister? What should be asked is why he was finally demoted. That is to offend Li Linfu, a traitor with more means; secondly, his personality is too honest and frank to attract Xuanzong's liking; thirdly, he is involved in the dispute of Xuanzong's successor.

Zhang Jiuling, a native of Lingnan, is a commoner and outstanding in learning. When Li Longji was a prince, he recruited talents from all over the world. Zhang Jiuling participated in the consultation and was selected. Since then, he has been reused. Since then, Zhang Jiuling has become famous in the DPRK, and was taken a fancy to by Zhang, then the chief prime minister of the Central Secretariat, who thought he was of the same clan and strongly recommended him. After Zhang was demoted, Zhang Jiuling was implicated and released to various counties. Until Zhang died, Xuanzong thought that Zhang had recommended Zhang Jiuling many times, so he put it into use. Because the then prime ministers Han Xiu and Xiao Song attacked each other, they were both demoted. Zhang Jiuling and Pei Yaoqing are in phase. Both of them are virtuous, talented and United. At that time, the state affairs were clear and prosperous. Let the Xuanzong dynasty, which has gradually turned from bright to faint, show a vitality.

However, Li Linfu, who is full of lip service, has come. Li Linfu is a branch of Li Tangyuan's imperial clan, and he is a distant uncle of Xuanzong in terms of seniority. He became a small official by virtue of the promotion of his uncle Jiang Jiao, the duke of Chu (a favorite of Xuanzong in his early years). However, Jiang Jiao was involved in the turmoil after the abolition of Kaiyuan for ten years and died in other places after being demoted. Li Linfu went the way of the son of Prime Minister Yuangan Obsidian, but was criticized by Yuangan Obsidian for his improper conduct.

The ups and downs of his official career finally enabled him to regain his position by helping Yuwen Rong to defeat Zhang Shuo, the Chinese secretary. By fawning on Wu Huifei and eunuch Gao Lishi, the favorite of Xuanzong, he gained the favor of Prime Minister Han Xiu. With the recommendation of these three people, Li Linfu succeeded in entering the phase, and became the third prime minister after Zhang Jiuling and Pei Yaoqing.

First of all, Li Linfu had a contradiction with Zhang Jiuling at the beginning. When Xuanzong was ready to appoint Li Linfu as prime minister, he asked Zhang Jiuling's opinion. Zhang Jiuling walked through many people's paths before Li Linfu, dismissing him, so he said that he would be appointed as the prime minister, fearing that it would harm the ancestral temple state in the future. Li Longji didn't listen, and still appointed Li Linfu as the phase. So Li Linfu heard this evaluation and naturally gnashed her teeth at Zhang Jiuling. What's more, Zhang Jiuling's secretariat is the chief prime minister, and for the sake of supreme power, Li Linfu will fight with Zhang Jiuling to the death.

In addition, Zhang Jiuling is brilliant, and everyone he admires is well educated. However, Li Linfu's family came down and he didn't study hard, so it's inevitable to make jokes. For example, he once wrote "Zhang" as "Song". Laughed at by the learned people as "the prime minister." Xiao Huan, the assistant minister of fact recommended by him, was discovered by Yan Ting, the assistant minister of Zhongshu who was valued by Zhang Jiuling. He pronounced "Fu La" as "Fu Hunting" and laughed at it. Zhang Jiuling took advantage of the situation to oust Xiao Huan. Li Linfu hates them even more.

second, Zhang Jiuling is too honest and frank, and he often makes a rude remark. Not as smooth and clever as Li Linfu. For example, Li Longji is preparing to return to Chang 'an from Luoyang, the capital of East China, and Zhang Jiuling thinks that it is the busy farming season, and the carriage trip will affect the harvest. However, Li Linfu was able to propose to exempt the people along the way from taxes this winter and solve the problem skillfully. In addition, Li Longji was prepared to promote Niu Xianke to Shangshu, which was rejected by Zhang Jiuling. He took a step back and prepared to give him a real seal, which was rejected again. This was very ugly. And Li Linfu gave support to Li Longji, and Niu Xianke was successfully sealed.

The reason why Li Longji never deposed Zhang Jiuling is because of his integrity. Finally, Li Linfu laid hands on him from here, and borrowed Yan Ting as his ex-wife's husband to secretariat Wang Yuanyan, ordering his men to accuse Yan Ting of favoritism. Zhang Jiuling didn't know it was for himself, but actually defended Yan Ting, saying that Yan Ting had divorced his ex-wife, which was not favoritism. As a result, Xuanzong was furious. As a referee of Yan Tingzhi, Zhang Jiuling was called Shangshu Youcheng and Pei Yaoqing was implicated as Shangshu Zuocheng. Li Linfu monopolized power and even Niu Xianke became prime minister.

Third, involved in the dispute over the successor of Xuanzong

Although Zhang Jiuling was dismissed, he was still in the DPRK. Who knows the "Three Shu Ren" incident happened again. Li Longji favored Wu Huifei, and Wu Huifei tried his best to frame the prince and his two brothers and let his son, Shouwang Li Mao, be the prince. Zhang Jiuling tried to protect it, while Li Linfu supported it in order to repay Wu Huifei's promotion. In the end, Xuanzong listened to the rumor that the three princes rebelled and abolished his three sons as Shu Ren, and soon died. Zhang Jiuling also angered Xuanzong, was completely ousted from Beijing, and was released as the governor of Jingzhou.
