In the ancient imperial court, there were related articles about idioms that made officials and people speak freely. Thank you.

Wei Zhi remonstrated: "Since ancient times, you can't move your heart without writing a letter. The ancients said that the wise choose the arrogant. I hope your majesty will think about it. " Li Shimin said, "If I punish this man, who will dare to speak again?" I gave him twenty silks.

One day, Wei Zhi said again, "Your Majesty, you don't like frank words recently. Although you are barely tolerant, you are not as open-minded as before. " So the emperor rewarded Huang Fushan and promoted him to supervise the empire.

Li Ke, the secretariat of Anzhou, went hunting many times, which brought a lot of harm to some residents. Liu Fan revealed the incident, so Li Ke was removed from his post and reduced the tax of his 300 households. Li Shimin said, "Wan Ji, the chief historian of the King of Wu, helped my son, but he could not correct his behavior. He should be executed. " Liu Fan said, "Although Fang assisted your Majesty, he could not stop him from going hunting. How can you punish Wan Ji casually? " The emperor was furious, threw off his sleeves and entered the harem. After a long time, the emperor summoned Liu Fan alone and said to him, "Why do you accuse me in front of everyone?" Liu Fan replied: "Your majesty is kind and wise, but I dare not be stupid." Li Shimin was glad to hear that.

On the way, Fang and Gao Shilian met the supervisor of Shaofu and asked him, "What construction projects have been built in the palace recently?" When Dou reported the incident to, he was very angry and blamed Fang and others for saying, "You only manage government affairs, and the small building in the palace has nothing to do with your position." Fang Lingxuan bowed his head and admitted his mistake. Wei Zhi came up and said, "I don't understand why your majesty blames Fang, but Fang wants to apologize! Fang and other prime ministers are your arms and eyes and ears. They should know something about things inside and outside the imperial court. If the project you built is right, they should assist your majesty to complete it; If not, you should ask your majesty to stop. They asked the supervisor, which is correct. So I don't understand why your majesty blames them for thinking they are guilty, and I don't understand why they want to plead guilty! " The emperor was very ashamed.

There are many examples of Emperor Taizong, Li Shimin and coachable. For example, in the second year of Emperor Taizong's Zhenguan reign (AD 628), China calligrapher Li Baiyao said, "Although maids have been released before, there are still many useless maids in the palace. Too much yin in the palace can also lead to natural disasters. " So Emperor Taizong ordered the release of ladies-in-waiting, releasing more than 3,000 people at a time. In the fourth year of Emperor Taizong's Zhenguan reign (AD 630), Emperor Taizong ordered the renovation of Luoyang Gan Yuan Hall, and wrote a letter against it, saying that he might not even be as good as it was. Emperor Taizong asked him, "You said I was not even as good as Yang Di. How does it compare with Xia Jie and Shang Zhou? " Zhang said: "If this project does not stop, the future fate will be as tragic as that of Shang and Zhou Dynasties." Emperor Taizong accepted his suggestion and ordered to stop the project, saying, "This is my thoughtlessness."

Emperor Taizong is so good at coachable that there are countless stories about his coachable in history books. The attitude towards the exhorter is even more admirable. Wei Zhi can be said to be a courtier who dared to remonstrate. He was embarrassed many times, but Emperor Taizong always respected him. When Wei Zhi was seriously ill, he sent a doctor and medicine, and went to visit him with the prince. After Wei Zhi's death, he missed him and said the following words to the ministers around him: people can dress with copper as a mirror; Looking at the past as a mirror, we can see the rise and fall; Take people as a mirror, you can know the gains and losses. Without Wei Zhi, I'm dead!

This passage has become a famous saying throughout the ages.

According to historical records, only 29 people were sentenced to death in the fourth year of Emperor Taizong's reign of Zhen Guan (AD 630). From Yuhai in the east to Wuling in the south, the door was open at night, and people who went out did not need to bring food, but only needed to take food from the road. In Zhenguan dignitaries, it is more specific to remember that people on business trips stay in the wild and don't have to worry about thieves coming to grab them; There are often no people in prisons; Cattle and horses are all over Shan Ye. Of course, there may be a lot of exaggeration in this, but it is always true that chastity is better than before.

Li Shimin is one of the people who contributed to this prosperous period. In the history of China, many founding emperors were unique. For example, Liu Bang was good at employing people and was tolerant and generous. Liu Xiushan plays "Judo" and can be lenient with others; However, Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong, took the advice of others. This alone is enough to avoid many mistakes, implement many strategies that benefit the country and the people, and promote social stability and prosperity. A "conspiracy" in The Change of Xuanwu Gate has created such an eternal master!

"Conspiracy" and "conspiracy", like the Yin fish and Yang fish in Tai Chi, have no absolute boundaries, but are mutually inclusive and can be transformed. It seems that if it does not meet the requirements of social development and cannot benefit the people, it is a blatant "conspiracy" and will become a real conspiracy; If we can conform to the requirements of historical development and make a good plan for social progress and prosperity, even a "conspiracy" in secret can become an aboveboard conspiracy. As the saying goes, "big banks don't care about details, and big gifts don't hesitate to make small concessions"!
