Chapter 142 Why did Li Chengqian rebel?

【Although Wei Zheng was very talented before Zhenguan, he was not well-known.

What really made Wei Zheng famous through the ages was his "outspokenness and remonstrance" during the period of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty.

As the saying goes, "Admonitions to the death of men, wars to the death of martial arts", if a country wants to prosper, there must be great pioneers who gamble everything to fight for it! 】

[In history, there are many famous people who fought in "wars to the death", such as Ding Ruchang, Lu Xiangsheng, Jiang Wei and so on.

However, although there are many speech officials in history, there are not many who are truly famous through the ages. Wei Zheng is one, and Bao Zheng is another. I am afraid that the others are almost meaningless. 】

"Who is Ding Ruchang? I don't seem to have heard of it!"

"Which dynasty is Bao Zheng from? Will he enter the leaderboard?"

"I haven't heard of it, it should be from later generations."

"Bao Qingtian! That must be it!"

[However, it is not easy to be a "critical minister". First of all, you have to meet an open-minded emperor, otherwise the end may not be very good.

For example, Liu Bowen, the most famous admonisher in the Ming Dynasty, although he assisted Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang to create the foundation of the Ming Dynasty, he ended up dying in a foreign land, which is extremely regrettable.

Therefore, the most important prerequisite for being an admonisher is: you must meet an emperor with a broad mind and a heart for all people!
Only in this way can there be a good result, otherwise I am afraid there will be only one way of no return. 】

Lao Zhu felt that he had been brainwashed by Su Qian again, but he was thick-skinned and could still hold on.

[Wei Zheng, known as the first admonisher through the ages, met a good monarch, a good monarch with a broad heart and a heart for all people, Tang Taizong Li Shimin.

He helped Tang Taizong build the foundation for the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, and Li Shimin also made Wei Zheng an admonisher, leaving his name in history, making Wei Zheng a model and example for literati in all dynasties to learn from and imitate. 】

"I and Wei Zheng have achieved each other and created a prosperous and prosperous world together. This is a good story!" Tang Taizong Li Shimin's boasting still seemed a bit shameless.

【Then, in order to be an excellent "official minister", you need to have a solid foundation of knowledge, wisdom for foresight, and extraordinary courage and courage.

Without knowledge, without wisdom, without vision and courage, wouldn't that be like meat buns beating dogs and never coming back? 】

"?"

"Why do I feel that this sentence tastes wrong?"

"Hahahaha! Su Shangshen is really getting worse and worse!!"

[Wei Zheng is famous for his outspokenness and courage to remonstrate.Li Shimin asked Wei Zheng: "How can a monarch be able to distinguish right from wrong, and how can he be stupid?" Wei Zheng replied: "If you listen to opinions widely, you can tell right from wrong, but if you only trust one person, you will be stupid. Listening to both will make you clear, and trusting too much will make you dark."

[According to the records and statistics of "Zhenguan Zhengyao", Wei Zheng presented fifty times of remonstrance to Li Shimin, and submitted eleven memorials to Li Shimin, and his life's remonstrance amounted to "more than hundreds of thousands of words".

Secondly, the number of numbers, the fervent words, and the firm attitude are unmatched by other ministers.

The most famous of Wei Zheng's advice to Emperor Taizong is "Admonishment to Emperor Taizong Shi Si Shu", but because it is too long, we will not read it.

"Admonishing Taizong Shisishu" probably means that Wei Zheng took the ancient emperors as a lesson and pointed out that many kings were like Tang Taizong. Although they succeeded in founding a country, not many were able to persevere to the end.

This points out the reason why the emperor's foundation is "easy to obtain but difficult to keep". I sincerely hope that Tang Taizong can strictly exercise self-discipline, do a good job of "thinking about contentment, thinking about knowing, and thinking about humility", and choose the good and follow Therefore, the monarch and his ministers can live in harmony, and the Tang Dynasty will prosper. 】

"."

"Ah! What a pity!!"

"Shangshen Su is being lazy, right? In fact, this is what we want to hear the most!"

[The existence of Wei Zheng is a mirror for Li Shimin to reflect on himself.

A large part of Li Shimin's rule of Zhenguan is the result of the joint governance of Li Shimin and the officials. It is impossible for one person to achieve great achievements in the prosperous age.

Here in Li Shimin, Wei Zheng has been reused and played his talents.

In the 17th year of Zhenguan, Wei Zheng passed away. Tang Taizong bestowed on Wei Zheng Sikong and Governor of Xiangzhou, posthumously titled Wenzhen. 】

[When Wei Zheng died, Tang Taizong was very sad. He said with tears: "My husband, with copper as a mirror, you can straighten your clothes; with history as a mirror, you can know the ups and downs; with people as a mirror, you can understand gains and losses. I have tasted Preserve these three mirrors, and use them to guard against your own mistakes. Now that Wei Zheng has passed away, one mirror has died."

Li Shimin also abolished the dynasty for five days, personally led hundreds of officials out of the city to see him off, and wrote an inscription for Wei Zheng, which shows Wei Zheng's position in Li Shimin's heart. 】

"Your Majesty! The old minister has criticized you so much, you still cherish the life of the old minister so much, you have no regrets!" Wei Zheng was so moved that he was already tearing up.

[However, only half a year after Wei Zheng's death, Li Shimin pushed down Wei Zheng's tombstone with his own hands. 】

"Gah?!" Wei Zheng, who was crying so much just now, was stunned.

"Cough cough cough!!" Even Li Shimin in the Wanchao communication space almost bit his tongue, but he choked himself enough.

Many people and officials before the Tang Dynasty also felt as if they had been hit with a pot of cold water, and they all froze.
"No way? Could it be that Tang Taizong is just pretending?"

"Although it's a person who is taking tea to cool down, but doing this, won't it really make other people chill?"

"I think there must be a demon if something goes wrong, let's see what Su Shangshen will say later?!"

[However, the cause of the matter is not complicated, because something happened to Hou Junji and Du Zhenglun, whom Wei Zheng had recommended to Tang Taizong.

Hou Junji was imprisoned because of his greed for money, and later involved in Prince Li Chengqian's rebellion, and was executed by Emperor Taizong of Tang.

Du Zhenglun was also implicated in the prince's rebellion and was dismissed from office and sent into exile. 】

As soon as these words came out, it was as if a heavy bomb had been dropped on Li Shimin's world, and it was at the level of a nuclear bomb!
The people around Hou Junji and Du Zhenglun immediately turned their eyes on the two of them, making their hair stand on end.

As for Li Chengqian, he was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground, and kept muttering "Impossible, impossible, why should I rebel." and so on.

When Li Shimin saw Li Chengqian's rebellion, his first reaction was "impossible", and then he began to think rationally "why?"

However, Li Shimin actually knew in advance that his next emperor was Li Zhi, not Li Chengqian, but he kept avoiding this question, thinking it was just a fight between brothers, but he never expected that Li Chengqian would rebel!

You know, Li Shimin likes his son very much.

As the eldest son of Li Shimin, Li Chengqian was established as the prince two months after Li Shimin ascended the throne, when he was only 8 years old.

Moreover, Li Chengqian is also talented and intelligent. Although he has foot problems, he "does not give up his steps", which is extremely favored by Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty.

When he was 12 years old, Emperor Taizong even ordered him to hear a lawsuit in Shangshu Province, "If anyone does not help, he will be opened in the East Palace, and Chengqian will make a decision."

After the death of Tang Gaozu, Emperor Taizong ordered him to "stay in the prison country" when he "practiced filial piety". If things develop according to this script, it is a matter of course for Li Chengqian to inherit the big position.

"What is it that made Chengqian embark on the road of treason?" Li Shimin finally decided to face up to this matter, and he made up his mind: "When the meeting starts, I have to ask Longji what happened. Thing, he should know something about Cheng Qian's rebellion, right?"
