After the change of Xuanwu Gate, it was reported to Li Shimin, the king of Qin, that an official named Wei Zhi in the East Palace participated in the rebellion of Shi Biao and Dou Jiande. After the failure of Shi Biao and Dou Jiande, Wei Zhi went to Chang 'an to work under Prince Cheng Jian, and once persuaded Cheng Jian to kill the king of Qin. Hearing this, the king of Qin immediately sent for Wei Zhi. When Wei Zhi met the king of Qin, the king of Qin asked him with a straight face, "Why do you want to sow discord between our brothers?" The ministers around listened to the king of Qin's question, thinking that it was to settle Wei Zhi's old scores, and they were all aggrieved by Wei Zhi. However, Wei Zhi calmly replied, "It's a pity that the prince didn't listen to me at that time. Otherwise, this will not happen. " Hearing this, the king of Qin felt that Wei Zhi was upright and resolute. Instead of blaming Wei Zhi, he said kindly, "This is a thing of the past, and there is no need to mention it again."

Tang Xianzu was not admitted to Jinshi until the eleventh year of Wanli and Zhang's death. In the eighteenth year of Wanli, Ming Shenzong severely condemned the official for cheating the monarch and ordered him to stop paying his salary for one year. At this time, Tang Xianzu wrote: "It's not that officials don't think about the country, but that the power of the emperor was stolen by the ministers who assisted them, and officials didn't dare to go against their wishes. Therefore, I will echo them. Assistant Minister instructed Yang Wei to impeach Lu, who was the first to stand up and point out that there was fraud in the imperial examination. So Ding Lu was fired. As long as a word disagrees with the assistant minister's opinion or touches their interests, they will be expelled from the court, dismissed from office, and even lose their lives. As a result, those who want to protest aloud are afraid of their arrogance and can only keep silent. And those shameless people who blindly follow the trend and flatter others can only associate with the ruling minister in order to keep their official titles. After they got the power and benefits, they thought it was given by the ruling minister and were not grateful to the court. Everyone is driven by immediate interests, and no one cares about state affairs and people's sufferings. " M4a file converter changed Tang Xianzu's words: "Yang Wenju was ordered to deal with the famine policy and accepted numerous bribes. Eat, drink and be merry every day, and release prisoners illegally. I don't know why the court assistant minister promoted him when he came back to the DPRK. If this situation is not stopped, I feel four major regrets for the emperor: First, the official salary was used by the court to arrange talents, but now it has become a tool for cronyism. Second, courtiers ignored shame and fawned on powerful people, but it was a pity that the court chose talents and appointed people. Third, the ruling minister broke away from convention, giving people high officials and generous salaries, and others were grateful to him. Fourth, the emperor ascended the throne for twenty years. In the first decade, Zhang was arbitrary and insatiable. In the second decade, Shen Shixing was greedy, although he didn't monopolize power. It's a pity that these twenty years of political affairs. "God was furious after seeing it. Tang Xianzu was demoted to the history of Xuwen Dian in Guangdong, and later served as the magistrate of Suichang County in Zhejiang Province. In twenty-six years of Wanli, he was deprived of his official position.

Zou Ji.

The most famous is Zou Ji's satire on the King of Qi.

Zou Ji is more than eight feet tall and has a beautiful figure. One morning, Zou Ji put on his coat and hat and said to his wife in the mirror, "I am more beautiful than Xu Gong in the north of the city." His wife said, "You are very beautiful. What Gong compares with you? " Duke Xu in the north of the city is a handsome man of Qi. Zou Ji didn't believe that he would be more beautiful than Xu Gong, so he asked his concubine, "Who is more beautiful than Xu Gong?" My concubine said, How can you compare with me? The next day, a guest came from outside. Qi Zou sat chatting with him. Zou Ji asked him again: "I am more beautiful than Xu Gong." The guest said, "Xu Gong is not as beautiful as you." Another day passed, and Xu Gong came. Zou Ji looked at it carefully and felt that he was not as beautiful as Xu Gong. Looking at myself in the mirror again, I feel that I am far from Xugong. After lying down at night and thinking about it, she said, "My wife thinks I'm beautiful and partial to me." I think I am beautiful because I am afraid of me. The guests think I'm beautiful and want something from me. "

So Zou Ji went to appear before Qi Weiwang and said, "I know I'm not as beautiful as Xu Gong. But my wife is partial to me, my concubine is afraid of me, and my guests want something from me. They all think I am more beautiful than Xugong. Now Qi has a territory of thousands of miles and 120 cities. There is no one in the palace who doesn't like you. No one in North Korea is afraid of you. There is no one in the country who doesn't want you: from this point of view, your majesty, you have been deeply deceived! "

Qi Weiwang said, "Good!" He ordered: "Those officials and people, big or small, who can accuse my mistakes face to face will be rewarded by their superiors;" Those who give me written advice will get a medium reward; Those who can criticize and discuss my mistakes in public and spread them to my ears will get inferior rewards. "As soon as the order came out, many ministers came to remonstrate, and there were as many people in the courtyard in front of the palace as in the market; A few months later, occasionally someone came to remonstrate; After a full year, even if someone wants to remonstrate, there is nothing to say.

Yan, Zhao, Han, Wei and other countries came to the State of Qi to appear before the King of Qi. This is the so-called victory over other countries in court.
