Emperor Taizong Li Shimin told the Turks. In the early years of the Tang Dynasty, Turks often invaded the south. Emperor Taizong was determined to destroy the Turks. He once said this: "If Heaven wants to die, it will make it crazy. The way to be a hero is to be crazy first and then die. The heart of mortals is crazy first. I am crazy, but I am dead. " Now this sentence is circulated from Laozi, and Taizong quoted Laozi's words.

This sentence means: I am arrogant. I was born crazy. It's not God that drives me crazy. How can God destroy me?

There is a proverb in the west: "If God wants to destroy him, he must be crazy first!"
