He knew well that if you listen to it all, it will be clear, but if you listen to it all, it will be dark. If you listen to it all, you will be convinced by a bad king. This was told to him by Wei Zhi, the minister. Once, Emperor Taizong humbly asked Wei Zhi, how can you tell the difference between a good king and a bad king? Wei Zhi solemnly replied that the monarch is wise because he can listen to different opinions widely; The reason why the monarch is fatuous is that he is partial to hearing and partial to believing. After saying this, he cited both positive and negative examples in history and added

to prove it. He said that Yao and Shun were sages in ancient times because they were open-minded and good at listening to different opinions, so little people could not deceive him. However, Qin Ershi, Liang Wudi and Emperor Yangdi

, who were fatuous, lived. I couldn't hear the real voice of the people. They didn't know it until the world collapsed and the people betrayed them. By adopting the

suggestions of my liegeman, the voice of the people could be reached. These wise words of Wei Zhi were deeply engraved in the heart of Emperor Taizong. From then on, Emperor Taizong paid special attention to being modest and coachable. He didn't care who you were or what your attitude was, as long as your opinions were correct. He can accept it with an open mind. There is a true story of "the power to save the sky". At that time, Emperor Taizong

ordered that the dilapidated Ganyuan Temple in Luoyang should be decorated for use as a palace for visiting other places. For the emperor, it was a piece of cake to repair the small palace.

However, a small official, Zhang Xuansu, made a memorial and regretted the move. After the repair of Zhanghuatai, the State of Chu dispersed; The Sui Dynasty collapsed when the Palace of Ganyuan was built. These are all lessons from history. Now, in the Tang Dynasty, everything is in ruins. How can our national strength compare with that of the Sui Dynasty? Your majesty continued to serve the people who suffered from the

war in the country, and spent hundreds of millions of dollars to build great projects. Your majesty did not inherit the advantages of the previous emperors, but inherited the disadvantages of the hundred emperors. From this point of view, your majesty's

loss far exceeded that of Emperor Yangdi. This is a memorial with a sharp pen and hit the key. But, little Zhang Xuansu, how dare you? Man Chao's literary and military leaders were all worried about him. People were watching the reaction of Emperor Taizong. If it were not Emperor Taizong, but other

emperors, they would immediately be furious when they saw this disrespectful memorial, which would not only make Zhang Xuansu's head fall to the ground, but also implicate the nine families. However, Emperor Taizong was Emperor Taizong. Instead of blaming

Zhang Xuansu, he ordered him to be summoned. At this time, Emperor Taizong wanted to try it further. You know, King Jie of Xia Dynasty and Zhou Wang of Shang Dynasty were notorious tyrants in history. Emperor Taizong's question has its own meaning. Without thinking, this Zhang Xuansu replied directly, if your majesty really built the Ganyuan Temple, it would be as confused as Xia Jie and Shang Zhou. Hearing this reply, Emperor Taizong was not angry, but was deeply moved.

He thought. Therefore, Emperor Taizong withdrew his edict and stopped rebuilding the Ganyuan Temple. He praised Zhang Xuansu and gave him 5 silks at the same time. Wei Zhi, who has been paying attention to this matter, heard this happy ending and sighed with great emotion, saying that Zhang Gong's comments on things have the power to save the day, which is

because of what a gentleman with noble morality said! The true story of "the power to return to heaven" fully illustrates coachable, an open mind of Emperor Taizong. Another advantage of Emperor Taizong is that

he will correct his mistakes. On one occasion, he got an exquisite kite. He temporarily forgot what Wei Zhi usually said that the monarch should not be tired of playing with things, so he put the kite on his arm with great interest

. Wei Zhi had already seen everything in his eyes, but he pretended not to know. He went up to

and talked about the pursuit of pleasure by ancient emperors, attacking by innuendo what emperors should not play with. Emperor Taizong was worried for a long time, and the kite suffocated. However, Wei Zhi talked endlessly, and Mrs. Tang

knew that it was indefensible and dared not interrupt. As a result, the kite still suffocated.
