1. In the history of China, Wei Zhi, the prime minister in the early Tang Dynasty, was famous for daring to speak frankly to the emperor. Whenever there was something wrong with Emperor Taizong, Wei Zhi would argue and persuade him. Even if Emperor Taizong lost his temper because of this, he was not afraid, but still boasted. ?
Emperor Taizong admired and feared Wei Zhi. After Wei Zhi died of illness, Emperor Taizong said sadly: "A person can see whether his clothes and hats are properly dressed by looking at copper;" Taking history as a mirror, we can know the reasons for the rise and fall of the country; Looking at people as a mirror, you can find out whether what you are doing is right or wrong. Now that Wei Zhi is dead, I have lost my most precious mirror. " ?
2. Emperor Taizong's courage in the face of mistakes can be said to be rare among kings of past dynasties.
As can be seen from Wei Zhi, the most famous remonstrance official at that time, Wei Zhi remonstrated more than 200 times, which was accepted by Emperor Taizong. You know, Wei Zhi's sharp admonition at that time made it impossible for Emperor Taizong to step down, which was unacceptable to most people, let alone the emperor above him. But he faced his mistakes bravely and finally composed a magnificent Long song.
3. One day, Lin Xiangru went out by car and saw Lian Po riding a big horse in the distance. He quickly asked the driver to drive the car back. People in Lin Xiangru don't like it. They said that Lin Xiangru saw Lian Po as a mouse saw a cat. Why should he be afraid of him? Lin Xiangru said to them, "Please think about it. Who is stronger, General Lian or King Qin? " They said, "Of course the King of Qin is great!"
Lin Xiangru said, "I am not afraid of the king of Qin. Will I be afraid of General Lian? As is known to all, the King of Qin did not dare to attack our State of Zhao, just because he had Lian Po in martial arts and Lin Xiangru in literature. If we quarrel, it will weaken Zhao's strength, and Qin will definitely take the opportunity to hit us. So for our Zhao, I avoided General Lian! "
Lin Xiangru's words reached the ears of Lian Po. Lian Po calmed down and thought about it, feeling that he had neglected the interests of the country in order to win a sigh of relief. This is very wrong. So he took off his shirt, put thorns on his back, and went to Lin Xiangru's door to confess his sins. Lin Xiangru saw Lian Po come to offer a humble apology, and hurriedly came out to warmly welcome him. From then on, they became good friends and defended Zhao together.
4. When Emperor Guangwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Dong Xuan was made in Luoyang. When Dong Xuan was ordered by Luoyang, Princess Populus euphratica killed her head and hid in her main house. After the princess went out, she used him as a mount.
Dong Xuan waited on the road, stopped the horse, drew a picture on the ground with a knife, and then talked about the owner's mistake. He scolded the slaves and was forced out of the car to kill them because of the situation. The main complaint was submitted to the emperor, who was angry and summoned Xuan to kill him. Xuan said, "Your Majesty is virtuous, and how can you rule the world by killing a good man with slaves?" Even if he hit the column with his head, the emperor ordered Xiao Huangmen to stop it and let him kowtow and thank the Lord. Declare disobedience. As a last resort, he declared that he supported the ground with his hands and refused to bow his head in the end. Because of a strong order.
Fang Xiaoru is the closest minister of Wen Jian. He also believed that Emperor Wen Jian was a king who knew him and was loyal to him. Yao, the first counselor of Ming Dynasty, begged not to kill Fang Xiaoru, otherwise "the seeds of studying in the world will be extinct", and Ming promised him.
After the fall of Nanking, Fang Xiaoru could not leave home. Every day, he cried in memory of Emperor Wen Jian. Ming Chengzu sent someone to force him to see himself. Fang Xiaoru cried and mourned in court, and repeatedly urged him to surrender to the throne, but he didn't listen to the imperial edict of Ming Chengzu. Everyone recommended Fang Xiaoru, so he ordered someone to call him from prison. Fang Xiaoru wailed in public and made a sound.
Ming Chengzu was also very moved. Jesus went down to the temple and said to him, "Sir, don't do this. In fact, I just followed the example of Duke Fu Cha and became king. "
Fang asked, "Is Wang An there?"
Ming Chengzu replied, "I set myself on fire."
Fang asked, "Why not be the son of the king?"
Cheng Zu said: "The country depends on Chang Jun."
Fang said, "Why not be the brother of the king?"
Cheng Zu said, "This is a family matter!" And let people give the pen to Fang Xiaoru and say, "This must be Mr.!" Filial piety wrote a pen, scrawled the words "Yan thief usurped the throne", threw the pen on the ground and cried and scolded: "You can't write a letter even if you are dead." Judy was angry and said, "Do you care about Jiuzu?" Filial piety replied enthusiastically: "Why don't the ten families resist me!" Swearing is helpful.
Judy was furious and hated her mouth. She cut open Fang Xiaoru's mouth and tore it to her ear.
Filial piety children shed blood and tears, but they still spit blood and curse. Judy snapped, "How did you die suddenly? You should destroy ten families! " During Judy's imprisonment, he searched for his family, took them to Beijing and killed them one by one in front of them.
Be filial and bear the pain and never give in. When the younger brother and the filial friend were executed, the filial son burst into tears, and the filial friend calmly recited a poem: "Brother, why are you crying here and doing chivalrous deeds?" After thousands of years of humiliation, travelers still return to their homes in the mountains. "Filial piety Confucianism also wrote a desperate poem:" There will be chaos in the sky, and somehow. Treacherous court officials want to play tricks for the country, and loyal officials want to exchange blood and tears. What can they expect? "
Finally, Judy added another family to the nine families, and even his students and friends were implicated. This is the unprecedented "extinction of ten ethnic groups", and a total of 873 people were executed in the middle of the year! Thousands of people were imprisoned and exiled.
