Later, when he was in office, he followed. This man is not clever, but he is brave. Li Shimin sent him to Li Jing as a lieutenant to learn the art of war from him, so as to take his army to the next level. Naturally, it is impossible to pour out everything the master taught his disciples. It is natural to leave something at the bottom of the box, or the disciples will starve to death. This is a truth that everyone knows. Li Jing did the same thing when he taught Sun Tzu the art of war. It is understandable that a higher emotional intelligence naturally turns a blind eye. However, he later accused Li Jing of hiding the art of war and having ulterior motives. He immediately offended his master Li Jing.
Hou died in the west, which is a great contribution of him. But after Gaochang was destroyed, he was afraid to report to Li Shimin, so he took Xichang's national treasure for himself and sent some innocent people away at will. Thanks to Cen Wenben confessing to him, otherwise Li Shimin would have locked him up. It is supposed that Hou should keep a low profile and exercise restraint, but after he is released, I will follow whoever says he wants to rebel. When he met Zhang, the commander-in-chief of Luoyang who was about to take office, he vented his unhappiness and said directly, if you want to rebel, I will follow you. At that time, the Lord was an enlightened Li Shimin. If Zhu Yuanzhang had changed, he would have died hundreds of times.
Finally, unappreciative, even pestering Prince Li Chenggan to rebel, this charge is unforgivable. No courtier excused him. Originally, Li Shimin didn't want to kill him, but unfortunately, none of his colleagues spoke to persuade him to give Li Shimin a step down. Li Shimin had no choice but to kill him. It was not so much his arrogance that killed him as his low emotional intelligence.
