The answer is as follows.
Original text of the work:
Wei Zhi is not more than a middleman in appearance, but has courage and is good at returning people's ideas. Every time he makes a mistake, he gives a bitter admonition. Or when you are angry, you will look unmoved, and you will also be arrogant. After tasting the report to the tomb, he also said, "People say that your majesty wants to be lucky in Nanshan, but everything is strictly finished, but he can't. Why?" Laughing, he said, "I really had this intention at first, and I was afraid of your anger, so I stopped listening." After a good taste in the world, I held it by my arm, and when I saw the levy, I hid it in my arms. It took a long time for the levy to be played, but I died in my arms.
Translation:
Although Wei Zhi's appearance is not more than the average person, he is courageous and resourceful, and he is good at changing the emperor's mind. Wei Zhi always violates the dragon's face and speaks frankly. Sometimes the emperor was particularly angry, but Wei Zhi kept his face calm, and the emperor calmed down.
Wei Zhi once asked for leave to go home to visit the grave. When he came back, he said to the emperor, "I heard that the emperor planned to visit Nanshan. Everything has been arranged and ready to go, but now he doesn't go. What is the reason?" The emperor smiled and replied, "I did have such a plan at first, but I was worried that Aiqing would blame you, so I stopped halfway."
The emperor once got a good kite, put it on his arm to play with, saw Wei Zhi coming and hid it in his arms. Wei Zhi played deliberately for a long time, and the kite finally suffocated in the emperor's arms.

Wei Zhi
In his early years, during the war in the late Sui Dynasty, he joined the Wagang Rebel Army. Later, Li Jiancheng, the Emperor Taizi, was in charge of the horse-washing official of the library.
when Taizong ascended the throne, he first acted as a doctor of advice and took over as an assistant to one of the central chief executives. Wei Zhi is famous for his forthright personality, outstanding talent and knowledge, and daring to criticize others. As an important assistant of Taizong, he earnestly asked Taizong to make him a "good minister" useful for governing the country, instead of making him a "loyal minister" who did his duty to the emperor alone. Every time he made a remonstrance, although he extremely angered Taizong, he remained calm and unshakable, which made Taizong impressed. In order to maintain and consolidate the feudal rule of the Li and Tang dynasties, Chen Jian has made more than 2 comments.
