Why does Han Xiu lose weight and gain weight, and Tang is still so afraid of the Prime Minister?

Because Han Xiu, the prime minister, can be outspoken to Tang from the perspective of ordinary people, and Han Xiu represents the people all over the world and the public opinion behind him, so Tang is afraid of him.

Li Longji, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, was a remarkable emperor in history. Many people will associate his name with Yang Guifei. In fact, he is also a king who knows how to use people well. He appointed Han Xiu as prime minister for many years. Based on the idea of being thin and rich in the world, he handled state affairs with Han Xiu in fear. During this period, he was afraid that he could not do well, and immediately accepted Han Xiu's suggestion. His body has really lost a lot of weight.

In fact, it is precisely because of the loyal minister Han Xiu who is not afraid of death and dares to tell the truth that this powerful emperor has a certain degree of self-restraint, and can be diligent in political affairs, distinguish right from wrong, govern the country well, and supervise the supreme imperial power to a certain extent. It was with such good ministers as Han Xiu and Zhang Jiuling that the emperor of the Tang Dynasty was able to create a prosperous new century in his early years.

But in his later years, when Han Xiu died and Zhang Jiuling was old, no one dared to raise any objection to Tang. It's just that some treacherous officials who flatter on the surface and secretly engage in intrigue led to Ming Chengzu's laziness and doing whatever he wants all his life. So the country began to have contradictions and civil strife, and then there was an Anshi rebellion, which made the Tang Dynasty decline from then on. Ming Chengzu fled to Sichuan to save his life.

In fact, the loss of loyal ministers who dare to speak out means the loss of the best way to understand public opinion. These loyal ministers often represent the demands of the people and also represent public opinion. Therefore, the emperor is afraid of loyal ministers, in fact, he is afraid of public opinion, but the imperial power should be supervised by public opinion.
