Later, his second son launched the "Xuanwumen mutiny" and killed his younger brother Li. Yang and Li Keen Shimin knew that Wei Zhi was a talented person, so they summoned him in person.
As soon as Li Shimin saw Wei Zhi, he was very angry and asked him, "Why do you want to alienate our brother?" The ministers present thought that Wei Zheng would be killed. However, Wei Zhi calmly replied in a very confident tone: "If the Crown Prince had listened to me earlier, he would certainly not have ended up like this."
After hearing this, Li Shimin was moved by Wei Zhi's fearless strength and integrity, and admired his personality from the heart.
So instead of punishing him, he was reused. Soon, Li Shimin acceded to the throne. He was Emperor Taizong. Emperor Taizong appointed Wei Zhi as an ancient adviser (an official post dedicated to advising the emperor), and later promoted him as prime minister. At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Emperor Taizong made great efforts to govern the country and often summoned Wei Zhi to discuss the gains and losses of governing the country with him.
Wei Zhi is ambitious, brave and fearless, and boldly remonstrates with the spirit of seeking truth from facts. During his decades in office, he remonstrated with Emperor Taizong more than 200 times in order to make the people of the Tang Dynasty rich and strong.
Every time, Emperor Taizong carefully considered his suggestions and tried to adopt them.
2. On one occasion, Emperor Taizong violated his regulations, and only adult men aged 18 should perform military service, so he decided to enlist tall men aged 16 and under 18. After the order was issued, Wei Zhi strongly opposed it. Emperor Taizong was so angry that he was sent for and reprimanded.
Wei Zhi is not afraid. He protested seriously and said, "Now you take all the strong middle-aged men out for military service. So, who will farm the land? Who will do the work? You often say that when I become a monarch, I must first keep my word, but the laws of the country clearly stipulate that only the strongest men need to perform military service. Why don't you follow them? Don't you lose credibility in front of ordinary people? "
He sincerely said to Wei Zhi, "Mr. Wang is really a mirror of my country and me! At first, I thought you were too stubborn and unreasonable, but now I feel very reasonable after listening to you. There are different government decrees, and the people are at a loss and cannot govern the country well. " Therefore, Emperor Taizong immediately ordered to stop recruiting China men for service and rewarded Wei Zhi.
Wei Zhi, who dared to speak out and remonstrate, not only made immortal contributions to the country, but also became an example for officials in past dynasties. Wei Zhi once assisted two emperors, Tang Gaozong and Emperor Taizong. He often directly remonstrated with Emperor Taizong, not afraid of sacrifice, and even flew into a rage with Emperor Taizong several times. Thanks to the intercession of his eldest grandson, he was spared punishment.
3. On one occasion, Emperor Taizong ordered the grandparents and grandchildren of Taichang Shao Qing to teach court music, but the effect was not good. Emperor Taizong gave him a lot of criticism. Wen Yanbo and Wang Jue present disagreed with Taizong's practice and said, "To honor Sun Yashi is to let him teach the imperial secretary now and then condemn him. I think it is impossible. "
Hearing this, Emperor Taizong became angry and accused them of "attaching themselves to it". Yan Bo was afraid and bowed down to apologize; Wang Jue said superciliously, "Your Majesty accused me of being honest and straightforward. What I said today is not personal! This is your majesty's responsibility, not your majesty's! " Emperor Taizong had to give up. The next day, Emperor Taizong said privately, "Since ancient times, emperors have been easily trusted and loyal. I blamed Wen Yanbo and Wang Jue yesterday and still regret it. "
At that time, not only ministers but also small officials dared to remonstrate. Liu, the magistrate of Liyang County, disagreed with Taizong's going hunting in Tongzhou (now Dali County, Shaanxi Province) during the autumn harvest season, and asked him to go in winter leisure instead. After Liu's persuasion, Emperor Taizong not only revoked his power of attorney, but also promoted Liu's official position as a reward.

Li Shimin regarded Yang Di's refusal to remonstrate with national subjugation as a warning. After he acceded to the throne, he tried his best to speak. He expanded the power of admonishing officials and encouraged ministers to criticize his decision-making and style. Among them, Wei Jin remonstrated more than 200 times and told the court about Chen's fault, which made him embarrassed many times in the early years and unable to step down. For example, Ma Zhou, Sun and Chu Suiliang are all famous for their remonstrance.
In his later years, Li Shimin prospered because of his country, while Chabr's tolerance was not as good as that in his early years. I occasionally regret killing the minister by mistake, but I still restrained myself and kept my manners. ?
The Yellow River is crystal clear and the sea is calm-the whole country is peaceful and quiet.
During the Zhenguan period, under the governance of Li Shimin, the society did not close at night. In the fourth year of Zhenguan (630), only 29 prisoners were sentenced to death. In the sixth year of Zhenguan (632), the number of death row inmates increased to 290. At the end of this year, Li Shimin allowed them to go home and deal with their own affairs. In the seventh year of Zhenguan (633), he died in autumn (ancient autumn punishment).
In September of the seventh year of Zhenguan (633), all 290 prisoners were returned, and none escaped. At that time, China was politically civilized, officials performed their duties, people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and there were few unfair phenomena, so there was not much resentment in China people's hearts. People who have plenty of food and clothing will not take risks to survive; People with a peaceful mind are not easy to go to extremes, so the probability of committing a crime is very small.
