Although it is said that good birds choose trees to rest, good horses also need to be equipped with a good saddle. Generally, when the emperor reaches his deathbed, he will leave the new emperor with a humerus and help the new emperor to cut through the thorns. For example, after Liu Bei's death, he left a Zhuge Liang for Liu Chan, Sun Ce left a Zhou Yu and a Zhang Zhao for Sun Quan after his death, Liu Bang had Han Xin to order troops for him, Zhang Liang to advise him, and Qin Shi Huang had the Mengtian family to take Baiyue in the south and build the Great Wall in the north.
As the saying goes: the king wants the subject to die and the subject has to die, which shows both the supremacy of the imperial power at that time and the way of the group of subjects, and when the minister says this sentence, it shows that the subject is right, and the emperor has been disappointed.
The cooperation between the monarch and the subject can be win-win, and there are always a few outstanding ministers next to the Ming Jun, just like Li Shimin's two ministers, Wenchen Wei Zheng, Wei Zheng is like a mirror of Li Shimin, so that Li Shimin always reflects on himself, and this mirror often mixes with himself to make Li Shimin often annoyed, but he does not dare to be angry with him, because every time Wei Zheng says something that is beneficial to Tang, so Li Shimin loves and hates him, on the contrary, there are not so many words for the military generals, they only need to obey the emperor's orders.
Cheng Yaojin is Li Shimin's most trusted military general, in 615 Li Shimin became acquainted with the young Cheng Yaojin, at a glance he saw his martial arts and character, Cheng Yaojin was born in 589 AD, high martial arts, huge body, making a pair of large axes, in 619 under the recommendation of Li Shimin's father Li Yuan to join Li Shimin's army.
Cheng biting jin, for people more straightforward, arrogant temperament, because the martial arts are superb, the average person will not put in the eyes, and later under the tutelage of Li Shimin, gradually converge on the character, learn the art of war and books, become the mainstay of the Tang Dynasty, from 620 AD to 624 AD Cheng biting Jin has been out of battle many times, all won a big victory, won the great trust of Li Shimin, every time he returned from the war, Li Shimin personally went out of the city to greet them, and their relationship has exceeded that of the monarchs.
But people eventually have days, and none of Li Shimin's sons satisfies him, the crown prince Li Chengqian's heart is not right, the fourth son Li Taigong is in calligraphy and painting, and the ninth son Li Zhi is weak in temperament. Although Li Zhi was weak, but he was kind and kind to the people, thinking that Li Shimin still planned to pass the throne to Li Zhi, so before he died, Li Shimin gave Cheng a task, that is, to protect Li Zhi's ascension to the throne and protect the Tang Dynasty under Li Zhi's command.
According to the "New Book of Tang", after the death of Tang Taizong in 649, Cheng Zhijin personally led a flying cavalry army to escort Li Zhi back to the dynasty, after Li Zhi ascended the throne, Cheng Biting Jin became his personal bodyguard, Cheng Biting Jin guarded outside Li Zhi's palace gate for 3 consecutive months, Cheng Biting Jin knew that the world was slowly stabilizing before leaving, after Li Zhi ascended the throne, he returned to the army to continue to fight for Li Zhi's Tang Dynasty, it can be said that Cheng Biting Jin's life was protecting the Tang Created by Li Shimin.
It can be said that it is after bowing down and dying, so the ancients said that it is difficult to support a person alone, and there are still some reliable friends around you, so that you can succeed.
In the prosperous dynasties of all dynasties, in addition to having an understanding of the king, excellent ministers must also be indispensable, while those declining dynasties generally involve the harem and the eunuchs are in power, resulting in the surrender of the society.
Therefore, in real life, whether it is to be an emperor in ancient times, near Zhu Chi, close to ink, what kind of circle to live in, and what kind of people to interact with is very important, those fox friends, wine and meat friends, once the critical time comes, they all avoid.
And as the emperor to identify talents is also very important, it is with the trust and appreciation of Tang Taizong Cheng biting gold, so that his Glory of the Tang Dynasty has continued, the glory ushered in hypocritical viewers, dusk witness true believers This sentence is most appropriate for Li Shimin.
