[Zi Jian 365] 8.3 The monarch could not go into politics, and the emperor killed Wuniang by mistake.

A monarch can't play politics.

The emperor killed Wu Niang by mistake.

Emperor Taizong's ideological realm and lofty aspirations are very high. Therefore, many daily remarks and actions have been praised by later generations and passed down as beautiful talks.

Someone asked Emperor Taizong to repel the sycophantic courtiers. Taizong asked him, "Who are the courtiers? How can I see clearly? "

The man said, "I live in the country, and I can't tell loyalty from treachery, but there is also a way: when your majesty discusses things with ministers, pretend to lose his temper and stick to his own opinion;" Believe that you are right, and never give in, you are the direct minister; Those who are timid, timid and climb up the pole are the courtiers. "

Emperor Taizong thought for a moment and shook his head to express his disapproval: "The monarch is like the source of a river, and his subjects are the water in the river; The source is dirty and the river is clean. Can you do that? How can the emperor ask his subjects to be selfless in the case of fraud? Rule the world with sincerity and tell the truth. Whenever I see the ancient king, playing politics, scheming and cheating his subjects, I feel ashamed! Although your method is good, I can't adopt it. " 627.5 If there is a letter, please go to the courtier and ask, "Who is the courtier?" He said: "I live in the grass, but I can't know who I am." I hope your majesty will talk to the ministers, or try it out angrily. Those who reason and refuse to admit defeat will be straightforward, and those who are afraid of obeying orders will be arrogant. " Shang said: "The monarch is also Yuan; Minister, flow also; It is impossible to muddy its source and seek its purity. If you deceive yourself, why do you blame your lieutenants for being straightforward? We rule the world with sincerity, and it is often shameful to see that the emperors of previous generations were good at taking over their own cadres with decimals. Although Qing policy is good, I won't take it. "

The man was deeply educated and withdrew his suggestion.

Soon, the news came that Li Jie Khan of Turkey suffered from natural and man-made disasters, and his power was greatly weakened.

North Korea's minister asked Emperor Taizong to send troops to defeat Jie Li and remove the threat from the north. Taizong discussed with Sun Chang Wuji and others: "Don't send troops, and time will never come again; What about sending troops? Not long ago, I made an alliance with him to make peace. Isn't this a breach of contract? " 627.7 Valerian trusts Hu and sparse Turks, and the Hu people are greedy for more, and the soldiers are old and moving; There will be heavy snow, several feet deep, many miscellaneous animals will die, there will be famine for years, and people will be hungry and cold. We don't give you money to make money, we take back all the departments, because we are divided inside and outside, the departments rebel and the soldiers are weak. Please hit the talkative and ask Xiao Yu and Sun Chang Wuji, "Arrogance and cruelty are bound to be dangerous. If you strike it today, you will form a new alliance with it; If you don't strike, you lose the opportunity; How can it be? " Please click on it. Mowgli said to him, "It is not the teacher of the king to abandon the trust for the people and not commit traffic jams." Going up is to stop.

Sun Chang thought for a long time and then said, "There is no robbery in valerian at present. If you take the initiative to attack and don't talk about faith, you are not a teacher of benevolence and righteousness. " Taizong accepted his suggestion; "Yes, we should stick to a sincere word."

One day, Taizong and Xiao Yu chatted and said, "I loved riding and archery since I was a child, and I collected bows well;" There are still dozens of them who think they are unique in the world and there will be no better. I asked the blacksmith to look at it the other day, and he said,' None of them are good materials'. Asked why, the archer said, "If the wood is not straight, the texture will be skewed. Although the bow is strong, the arrow is not straight, so it is difficult to hit the target. After listening to the bowman's words, it turns out that I, who can conquer the world with bows and arrows, don't fully understand bows. Said, feeling.

From then on, Emperor Taizong ordered Beijing officials with more than five grades to live in Zhongshu Province in turn and meet them every day to understand the sufferings of the people and the gains and losses of political affairs. Prince Shao Shi Xiao Yu said, "I have several good bows and arrows, but I got more than ten good bows. I called myself the best, and I came close to showing my bow works, but I said,' None of them are good materials'. I asked him why, and the worker said,' The wooden heart is not straight, the pulse is evil, and the bow is strong and the arrow is not straight.' At first, I was not good at distinguishing from others. I set up a phalanx with my bow and arrow, but before I finished my knowledge, everything in the world could spread all over Zhihu! "But life kyou-kan in the book more than five introspection, see several delay, ask to folk sufferings, political gains and losses.

Sometimes, Emperor Taizong was also aggressive, but he was very kind to people.

Prime Minister Du Yan recommended Di Huaidao. Emperor Taizong asked about Di Huaidao's words, deeds and abilities. Du Yan listed the previous events: "Yang Di wants to live in Jiangdu, and everyone agrees. Di Huaidao is a senior official. He said he couldn't go. I saw with my own eyes. "

Taizong asked him, "You did the right thing by boasting. Why don't you talk? "

"I was in a very low position, and it was useless to say it. If I can't let myself die, I won't say it. "

Emperor Taizong asked again, "If you know that Yang Di won't listen to remonstrance, why do you still be his official? Since you are an official, why don't you speak? You said that your status was low at that time, but it was also reasonable; Later, I followed the king. Is the title high enough? Why don't you talk? "

Du Yan faltered: "For Wang, it's not that I don't talk, it's that he doesn't listen."

Emperor Taizong's reason is not forgiving. He knows Prime Minister Du too well: "If Wang is wise and good at listening to opinions, he will not die;" If he is tyrannical and cruel and refuses the advice of his loyal ministers, how can you avoid disaster and settle down? "Step by step, more and more tight. What a terrible emperor!

Du Yan silently bowed her head and was at a loss.

Seeing his embarrassment, Taizong changed the subject: "Du Jun, you are an important person today. Do you dare to speak and make suggestions? "

"I am willing to do my best, I dare to risk my life!"

Emperor Taizong smiled, and Du Yan smiled with relief. 627.9 Strictly recommend Di Huaidao, a minister of punishments, and ask him about his ability. Liu Bei said, "Now that Yang Di is in Jiangdu, he is fortunate to recruit hundreds of officials and ask them about their plans to stay or stay. Huai Dao is in charge of the official department and can't speak alone. I saw it myself. " The master said, "What do you mean when you call it right?" Yes, I said, "If I don't take on heavy responsibilities every day and I know I won't listen to advice, it's no use dying." "You know Yang-ti is not to be remonstrated. What is the purpose of establishing his court? Since it is established, why not protest? Clear stone marrow, humble; After being the king's official, I paid my respects. Why don't I protest? " Yes, I said, "I don't want to remonstrate with Yu Jin, but I won't listen." Shang said: "The virtue of the world, the virtue of loyal ministers, can not subjugate the country; If you refuse violent protests, how can you avoid disaster? " The flood can't be right. He said, "Today is a day of respect. Can you protest? " Right: "I am willing to die." Smile.

On one occasion, Emperor Taizong asked Feng Deyi to recommend more talents. After a long time, there was no reply. Taizong asked him, "Are you too busy to care about this?"

Feng Deyi was embarrassed: "I am not busy, nor am I unprofessional. I just can't find a real person who regards people as interests and has his own strengths. "

Emperor Taizong was very unhappy and said seriously, "A gentleman uses talent as a tool, and each has his own strengths! It's useless to put wine in a cup and rice in a bowl. In ancient times, all the sages of the wise king flew from outer space? Aren't you local here and now? Gifted, afraid you won't recognize it yourself. How can you falsely accuse the talents in the world because of your own mistakes? "

Feng Deyi was ashamed, so he had to leave in disgruntled mood. 627. 1 day, Feng Deyi was ordered to recommend the virtuous, but he failed for a long time. Instead, he said, "I don't care, but I don't have a wizard's ear today." Confucius said, "Gentlemen use people as tools, and each takes his own advantages. Those who have ruled since ancient times should not borrow talents from different generations. People who suffer from self-ignorance can lie for a lifetime! " Ti retreated with shame. "Imperial History" Du Yan wrote: "I'm afraid there are mistakes in the copywriting of various departments. Please check the imperial history. " When asked about Feng Deyi, he said to him: "Official positions have their own duties. If there is any violation, it is recommended to correct it; It would be too annoying to go to the department to find fault. " Drowning silently Ask Yan: "Why not stick to it?" Right: "When you do things in the world, you should do them in public, and goodness will follow. What ti yi said is really general, and I really believe it and dare not violate it. " Shang Yue said, "You can do this. Why should I be worried?"

Emperor Taizong also has a unique advantage, that is, he can consider others and look at problems from others' perspectives, so he is considerate and rarely sticks to his own opinions and makes big mistakes.

Once, he went hunting in Lishan, climbed to the top of the mountain and looked down at the hunting circle below. There was a big gap. He said to his attendants, "The troops don't do things as required, and their discipline is lax. If they are not punished, they will ignore the law and discipline; What about punishment? I saw it while climbing and descending the mountain. It's like I'm trying to find fault. If you don't stand tall, the gap will not be seen. " Therefore, it is difficult to walk under the cover of steep mountain roads, go down to the valley to avoid hunting grounds, and at the same time avoid disturbing the activities of the army. 642. 12 Guimao, attending Li Xingshan Wentang; Chen Jia, hunting in Mount Li. When I climbed the mountain, I saw a broken place around me. Gu said to the left and right: "If you don't punish because of its chaos, you will be caught in military law; The punishment is that I climb to the next level and make mistakes for others. " It was given the danger of the road and was introduced into the valley to avoid it. Izzy, go back to the palace.

Emperor Taizong wanted to hire Ren Jizhen's daughter as his concubine. Hearing this, Wei Zhi quickly wrote a letter to remonstrate and said, "Gong Zheng's daughter has accepted the dowry of Lu Shuang, a scholar. How can she marry someone else?"

Emperor Taizong was frightened and immediately wrote a letter to void the prepared account books and stop the employment contract. Fang said, "Lujia's application has not been determined yet, and we are not married yet. The imperial edict has been written, how can it be changed? " Lu Shuang also wrote that she was not engaged to Zheng Guru.

Emperor Taizong was very embarrassed and discussed with Wei Zhi: "Recently, ministers said that Lujia women were not hired, perhaps to please me; But Lu Shuang himself said so. What do you mean? "

Wei Zheng smiled: "Is Lu Shuang a fool? He is afraid that you will fall in love with Zheng's daughter. On the surface, he doesn't invite you to use it, but secretly he is jealous and makes trouble. Can you stand it? "

Taizong was helpless and had to smile bitterly. However, he didn't marry a woman in A Zheng, nor did he envy Lu Shuang. 634. 12 Emperor hired the daughter of Ren Jirong, a Sui Tongguan, as Chonghua, wrote a letter and the book will be sent. Wei Zhi heard that he had promised to marry Lu Shuang, a scholar, and went to the table to protest. When the emperor heard this, he was frightened and wrote himself a letter of self-reproach and ordered him to stop reading. Fang and others said, "Marrying Lu is not obvious, but the ceremony is acceptable and cannot be stopped." Cool also shows that there was no discussion of getting married in the first place. The emperor said: "The ministers or Rong Xihe; Cool self-help, why? " Yes, he said, "if he regards your majesty as a foreigner, he will give up, otherwise he is guilty, so he has to take other measures." The emperor smiled and said, "Maybe so if outsiders are willing. My words failed to convince people of such evil? "

Did Taizong make any mistakes? Yes, it seems to be a big mistake. Is it a trivial matter to kill the minister unjustly? However, this kind of thing is rare, and it is in old age.

In the sixth month of the lunar calendar in 648 AD, Taibai star often appeared in the daytime, and the conclusion of the divination of the Taishi was: "Women are prosperous." Here comes the female emperor. There is also a "secret book" circulating among the people, saying that "after three generations of the Tang Dynasty, the female emperor Wu Wang won the world", that is, the female emperor surnamed Wu replaced the world. Emperor Taizong was very sad to hear such a thing.

One day, he and other military commanders gave a banquet in the palace, and as usual, they asked for a drinking order, and all the officials reported their real names. Li Junxian, the general of Zuo Wuwei, said that his baby's name was Wuniang. When Taizong heard this, he was secretly surprised and smiled with a pun: "What woman? What a great person! " It seems that Emperor Taizong regarded "Li Wuniang" as the successor who was about to seize the world. Not only that, Li Junxian is a native of Wu 'an County. When Zuo Wuwei became a general and sealed the county magistrate, he carried the word "Wu" everywhere (Wu and Wu are homophonic), and his suspicion became more and more serious, so he was transferred to Huazhou for secretariat.

There happened to be a man who told the shop assistant that he could eat and drink and was familiar with Buddhism. Li Junxian believed him very much. They became friends and often talked privately. The suggestion found out Taizong's temper and accused Li Junxian of making friends with bad people. In this way, Li Junxian was unjustly executed and his property was confiscated. At the beginning of 648.6, General Zuo Wuwei went straight to Xuanwu Gate from Wu 'an, Wulian County, which was often too white to see during the day. The master said, "The mistress is always there." The folk also spread the "Secret Record" cloud: "After Tang III, the mistress won the world." Fight evil. In the palace, they will feast with all the officials and officials, and drink in an orderly way, so that each has its own posthumous title. You admire her name as Wu Niang, startled. He smiled and said, "What kind of woman is brave and healthy!" He also said that the feudal city had the word "Wu", which he hated deeply and later became the secretariat of Huazhou. There is a man in cloth who believes. He can speak by himself, and he knows Buddhism. You deeply admire it and believe in it. You can follow it with numbers and filter people's words. The suggestion envied the communication with the demon and made a bad plan. Renchen, you are envious of sitting here. You have no family.
