Kevin·Z often embarrassed Emperor Taizong, who prepared a dish for him, and Wei Zhi became honest from then on.

The glory of the Tang Dynasty in the prosperous new century is inseparable from Li Shimin's rule over Zhenguan, and the rule of Emperor Taizong over Zhenguan is also inseparable from his capable ministers and military commanders. Zhenguan was once an era of talented people, and the portraits of twenty-four heroes in Lingyange have been widely circulated so far. Emperor Taizong's ability not to kill heroes, but to be humble and trainable, also proves that he is an eternal emperor with a broad mind.

However, compared with Fang and Du Ruhui, another minister often angered Emperor Taizong, so that he loved and hated him, which often broke his mind. Some people even say that Li Shimin was completely annoyed by Wei Zhi when he only lived in his fifties. Although he was joking, he also reflected Wei Zhi's outspoken character.

But the ancient emperor was very proud. Wei Zhi repeatedly reported Li Shimin in front of courtiers, and Li Shimin specially prepared a dish for Wei Zhi in order to save face for the emperor. Since then, Wei Zhi never dared to tear down Li Shimin's platform easily, and Li Shimin successfully pulled it back, saving the emperor's face.

Before Wei Zhi met Li Shimin, he was an unemployed uncle. Although he has read many books, he is a talented person. However, he has never met a wise master for many years, and has followed the hermits such as Shimi in Wagangzhai, Dou Jiande in Hebei and Li.

Wei Zhi is not a man who chooses God and waits for him. On the eve of Xuanwumen, he repeatedly suggested that Li get rid of it, but Li was indecisive and finally missed the opportunity.

After Li Shimin succeeded to the throne, in order to dispel the doubts of the world, he announced an amnesty for the former prince, and what's more, he put aside the past and reused Wei Zhi. After years of tossing and turning, Wei Zhi finally felt that he had met a wise master, so he begged Li Shimin to calm the hearts of Hebei people and Dou Jiande's old men. From then on, Li Shimin paid more attention to Wei Zhi, promoted him as a consultant doctor, and was able to call a spade a spade when something happened.

From then on, Wei Zhi walked all the way to Li Shimin. For three days and ten days, Li Shimin complained to her grandson all day.

Once, because Li Shimin slept for half an hour in the morning, the early morning was delayed for nearly an hour. Wei Zhi protested angrily: The emperor, as the master of the world, made such a low-level mistake. Ministers can go to work on time, but he has delayed state affairs, which is really disappointing. Hearing this, Fang quickly stopped going on, but asked him to assure the minister in front that he would not be late again. Li Shimin looked at the minister at the bottom and looked at himself helplessly, so he had to apologize to the courtiers and promised that it wouldn't happen again.

Another time, Li Shimin got an eagle, but he was afraid that Wei Zhi would kill himself when he saw himself playing with the eagle, so he had to put the eagle in the palace until he was in court. As a result, Wei Zhi got the news, so he hurried to the palace to see Li See. Li Shimin hurriedly hid the eagle under his clothes and took it out after Wei Zhi scolded himself. As a result, the eagle has been strangled.

Li Shimin was so angry that he swore: This hillbilly must know that I hid the eagle under my clothes, so he did it on purpose!

On another occasion, Li Shimin tried to repair his palace gate, only to be angered by Wei Zhi on the spot: the national strength of the Tang Dynasty was not as good as that of the Sui Dynasty when it was first established. At this time, your majesty should focus on governing the world instead of supervising the palace. Li Shimin Wei Zhi words, cheerfully said:

Doctors worry too much. I just built the gate of a palace.

As a result, Wei Zhi gave no face at all, and continued: Your Majesty is so stubborn. What is the difference between him and Emperor Yang Di? Hearing this, Emperor Taizong was so angry that he ran back to the harem and complained to his grandson, and threatened to kill his countryman Wei Zhi. When the eldest grandson knew what had happened, he congratulated Emperor Taizong and said, "Congratulations on having a good minister. Wei Zhi dares to speak out. It is because of your majesty's wisdom that these sages have come to your side. " .

Li Shimin finally woke up after listening to the words of the grandson queen. Afterwards, he not only didn't punish Wei Zhi, but also gave him hundreds of silks and satins.

Wei Zhi offended Li Shimin more than 200 times, which is "rare in the world" in all previous dynasties. Although Li Shimin can listen to his opinions with an open mind, he is often very angry at Wei Zhi's frankness. He tried many times to find opportunities to punish Wei Zhi and let him control his temper.

Not once, Li Shimin suddenly heard from his uncle Sun Chang Wuji that Wei Zhi likes spinach very much. Once, Wei Zhi went to his house and sent someone to his kitchen secretly to see if there was any spinach. Sun Chang Wuji specially asked the servant to buy him some spinach. As a result, when Wei Zhi ate spinach, he forgot all the manners and made a fool of himself. Before leaving, he secretly took a bag of spinach from Sun Chang Wuji.

It turns out that Wei Zhi is a hen-pecked wife, and Wei Zhi loves spinach, but his wife can't see the taste of spinach at home, so Wei Zhi can only eat spinach outside before going home every time.

After listening to Sun Chang Wuji, Li Shimin finally figured out a way to clean up Wei Zhi, so he invited Fang, Sun Chang Wuji and Wei Zhi to have dinner together, and the staple food of that meal was spinach.

On this day, Wei Zhi was invited to a banquet. During the dinner, he saw the spinach on the table at a glance, but found there were no chopsticks on the table. His eyes were fixed on the spinach in the bowl, ready to gobble it. As a result, Li Shimin suddenly said, Wei Zhi, you are an upright minister. I invited you to dinner today just to let you tell me all my mistakes so that I can turn over a new leaf. As a result, Wei Zhi didn't hear Li Shimin at all, because he was greedily eating the spinach on the table.

Li Shimin said: Zheng Guogong, did you listen to me? Wei Zhi said: Your Majesty is not wrong. A wise monarch often corrects himself. As a courtier, I just say what I want to say and give your majesty some advice.

Li Shimin laughed off his flattery and immediately ordered Wei Zhi to eat. As a result, in the next scene, Emperor Taizong, Wuji and Fang were completely dumbfounded. I saw Wei Zhi put a bowl of spinach in his mouth. He laughed while eating and praised spinach for its delicious taste. Li Shimin was amused by Wei Zhi's eating, and Sun Chang Wuji and Fang gave him their own spinach. After eating, Wei Zhi also asked if there was any, which made Li Shimin laugh.

From then on, Emperor Taizong invited Wei Zhi to eat spinach when something happened. As a result, Wei Zhi made a fool of himself every time and forgot all about state affairs. Li Shimin completely saved face, successfully pulled back a game, and Wei Zhi also knew the truth. From then on, if Li Shimin didn't make a big mistake, Wei Zhi wouldn't bother him again, and he would honestly give his own advice. This story between loyal monarch and loyal minister has also made an eternal story.

Wei Zhi's integrity, outspoken courage, and never retreat, which is exactly what Li Shimin needs as a minister of governing the country. Later, it was proved that Wei Zhi's suggestion directly influenced Li Shimin's decision-making and carried out the first rectification in the Tang Dynasty.
