When Wei Zheng was seriously ill, Tang Taizong took the crown prince and princess Xincheng to visit and promised to give Princess Xu of Johor Bahru to Wei Zheng's eldest son Wei Shuyu, but six months after Wei Zheng's death, Tang Taizong not only canceled the wedding with Wei Zheng's eldest son Wei Shuyu, but also pushed Wei Zheng's tombstone.
Tang Taizong is a generation of Ming Jun, it is true, but in fact, he is also a monarch who loves to listen to good words, Wei Zheng has repeatedly said bluntly, Tang Taizong Li Shimin can not maintain a normal mentality every time in his heart, but he is unwilling to pursue.
Once, Tang Taizong got a harrier eagle and had a good time. Knowing that Wei Zheng was going to enter the palace, he hurriedly hid the bird in his arms, and after Wei Zheng found out, he deliberately found an excuse not to leave, so that the harrier eagle S fell, and Tang Taizong breathed a sigh of relief, saying that he would rather lose his fun than Wei Zheng saying that his playthings were lost.
Tang Taizong wanted to enter the Qin mountains to hunt, and was ready to be reluctant to leave. Wei Zheng found that something was wrong and came to ask you, and Tang Taizong replied, "I have this idea, but I am afraid that you will speak out and advise, so I don't want to go."
Wei Zheng sometimes did not give Tang Taizong face at all, and privately asked Wei Zheng to ask him to persuade him to change his methods, but Wei Zheng said: "No, Your Majesty is not the attitude of Ji and Qi to Yao and Shun." Once, Wei Zheng's blunt advice made Tang Taizong very faceless, and after returning to the palace, he said angrily: "Wei Zheng insults me every time he is courted, so that I am often not allowed to be free, and sooner or later he kills this Tian Shehan." ”
Wei Zheng had asked Tang Taizong to regard him as a good vassal rather than a loyal vassal, and Tang Taizong asked what was the difference? Wei Zheng replied, "I have a good reputation, and the monarch I serve is also the Ming Jun, and this is a good subject." He was killed miserably, making the monarch a tyrant, and his home and country were lost, and he had his name empty, for his loyal subjects. ”
That is to say, if Wei Zheng was killed because of his advice, he was a loyal subject, and Tang Taizong was a tyrant. If Tang Taizong adopted Wei Zheng's good words, he would be a good minister, and Tang Taizong would be a Ming Jun.
Wei Zheng thought that he was extremely accurate in pinching the emperor's psychology and won the gold medal for avoiding death, but he couldn't imagine that Tang Taizong was stoic on the surface, and he really had a grievance in his heart, which was also the reason for Wei Zheng's humiliation after his death.
Wei Zheng recommended Hou Junji and Du Zhenglun to Emperor Taizong of Tang and praised them for their talents, so Du Zhenglun became a soldier and a foreign lang, and Hou Jun was integrated into the official Shangshu. After Wei Zheng's death, the two men were implicated in the conspiracy of the crown prince Li Chengqian, and one was exiled and the other was killed.
The problems between the two of them easily made Tang Taizong suspect that Wei Zheng also had certain problems, so he asked people to check on Wei Zheng, and Chu Suiliang confessed that Wei Zheng had given the advice to Shi Guan. Tang Taizong was furious and angrily scolded Wei Zheng for what was his intention?
Wei Zheng handed over the manuscript to the historian, violating Li Shimin's taboo. Wei Zheng represented the Shandong clan, and Li Shimin represented the GuanLong clique. There was a certain contradiction between these two forces, and Li Shimin repeatedly attacked the Guanlong clique and took advantage of the opportunity to conquer Goryeo, thus weakening the power of the Shandong clan. Wei Zheng had suffered from war since childhood, and he repeatedly advised Li Shimin to learn the lesson of the demise of the Sui Dynasty and not to conquer Goryeo. But in Li Shimin's view, this is Wei Zheng protecting the Shandong clan.
Wei Zheng did not know why he handed over the manuscript of the book to the historian, maybe this would leave a good reputation.
Enraged, Emperor Taizong of Tang ordered the cancellation of the wedding of Princess Xincheng and Wei Shuyu, and ordered him to topple the tombstone he had erected for Wei Zheng, and the following year, Emperor Taizong of Tang went on a campaign against Goryeo and failed miserably. This reminded him of Wei Zheng's request not to conquer Goryeo, if Wei Zheng was still there, he would definitely oppose his own invasion of Goryeo, which would avoid this war, and Tang Taizong was extremely regretful and ordered Wei Zheng's tombstone to be erected again.
