Fa Wang replied, "I worked tirelessly and worked hard for my country. I don't try to do everything I know. In this respect, I can't compare with the above. I always pay attention to giving advice to the emperor, and think that the emperor's ability and virtue are not as good as Yao and Shun's, which is very shameful. In this respect, I can't compare with Wei Zhi. All-rounder, I can be a general and lead troops to fight outside, and I can be a prime minister in the imperial court. In this respect, I can't compare with Jing Li. I'm not as good as Wen Yanbo reporting state affairs to the emperor, making it clear in detail, announcing the emperor's orders or conveying the reports of subordinate officials, and insisting on fairness and justice. I can't compare with Dai Zhou in dealing with heavy affairs, solving difficult problems and being in order. As for criticizing corrupt officials, praising the integrity of ICAC, taking evil as the enemy and taking good as pleasure, I have a day's experience in this respect than other capable people. " Emperor Taizong agreed with him very much, and the ministers also thought that Fa Wang had fully expressed their feelings and that these comments were correct.
From Fa Wang's comments, we can see that everyone in Tang Taizong's team has their own strengths; But more importantly, Tang Taizong can use these people in the most suitable positions according to their expertise, so that they can give full play to their strengths and make the whole country prosperous and strong.
Qi Jinggong likes drinking. He drank for seven days and seven nights. The minister admonished on the string: "The king has been drinking for seven days and seven nights. Please focus on national affairs and give up drinking as soon as possible; " Otherwise, please die first. Another minister, Yan Zi, later met Qi Jinggong, and Qi Jinggong complained to him: "Zhang Xianzhong advised me to give up drinking, or I would kill him;" If I listen to him, I'm afraid I won't get the pleasure of drinking in the future; If he doesn't listen, he doesn't want to live. What can he do? Yan Zi said, "My good nephew Zhang is so lucky to meet such a magnanimous monarch as you!" ! If you had met He Yin, would you have died long ago? "So Qi Jinggong really quit drinking.
Revelation: Everyone loves to eat, drink and be merry, but we should be moderate and know enough is enough. Of course, we cannot cross the line ourselves. When you see others like this, you should also try to dissuade them, and don't be afraid of being speechless if you offend them. Qi Jinggong is willing to accept other people's suggestions with an open mind. This generous measure is also worth learning.
Zhou Liwang was a greedy and violent ruler. He appointed Rong and others as "good patents without knowing big troubles", monopolized all the interests of mountains and rivers, and prevented civilians from collecting firewood and fishing. Doctor Rui advised Li: "I'm afraid the royal family is going to decline!" That Rong Gong only knows how to monopolize money, but he doesn't understand that money comes from various sources and naturally belongs to heaven and earth. Whoever wants to monopolize it will annoy many people, and Rong will seduce you with public money. How long can it last? " Li Guowang did not listen to the advice, but still appointed Rong Gong as an aristocratic scholar to take charge of state affairs.
Zhou Liwang's cruelty finally aroused the indignation of the broad masses of China people, who openly talked about his shortcomings. Zhao Gong protested: "The people can't stand your orders!" Li Guowang was very angry, so he found a wizard who defended the country and asked him to keep an eye on those who talked. When he found out, he reported it and killed it immediately. As a result, fewer people said it, but the governors didn't come to worship. Thirty-four years later, Li Guowang became more powerful, and no one dared to speak again. They only exchanged glances when they met on the road. Li was very happy to see this scene and told: "I can eliminate people's comments on me." They dare not speak. " Zhao Gong said: "This just blocked their words back, and warned:" It is better to defend the people's mouths than to defend Sichuan. "Li didn't listen to the king. Since then, people in China have been afraid to speak. Three years later, everyone rebelled together and attacked Li Wang. Wang Li fled to Bi.
Li Yu, Queen of Southern Tang Dynasty, is a famous historical figure. How worried can his "ask Jun" be? Just like a river flowing eastward, it is clear and clear, and everyone knows it.
When Li Yuchu ascended the throne, he often played chess with concubines and lucky ministers. Once, Dali Guoqing ZSZSZSZ entered the palace and left. When Li saw playing chess with a fan, he picked up the chessboard and threw it on the ground.
The emperor was furious and said, "Who is better, you or Wei Zhi of the Tang Dynasty?" Xiao Yan smiled indifferently: "If I am not Wei Zhi, your majesty will not be Emperor Taizong." The late master kept silent and never played chess again.
Xiao Yan is upright and upright, denouncing abuses, discussing state affairs and never flattering others. When corrupt officials and nobles see him, they should tidy up their skirts to avoid being accused by him.
Wu Ding was the 23rd king of Shang Dynasty. He is good at selecting and appointing talents, so many famous officials gathered around him, including Fu Shuo, Gampan, Zuji and others. On one occasion, when Wu Ding sacrificed soup, a pheasant flew to Ding to crow. In the suburbs of Wang Du, there is a lush forest where birds often live. Therefore, it is natural for a pheasant to fly to the ancestral temple to sing. However, Wu Ding thought it was an ominous sign and worried that something bad would happen. Zuji took the opportunity to remonstrate with Wu Ding: "Please don't be afraid, don't be afraid. Now, as long as you do a good job in political affairs, make great efforts to govern, and be thrifty, all the ominous signs will disappear. " At that time, Wu Ding sacrificed too much, and Zuji was worried that he would become a mere luxury, so she admonished him. Wu Ding, an open-minded coachable, readily accepted the advice of his ancestral home. Clever ministers often use natural changes to advise the king, which has played a very good role. The story of pheasant singing and * * * giving birth to a tree has the same effect.
