Today, we will listen to the Sui and Tang Dynasty history of Professor Yu Gengzhe's lecture "Fang Xuanling of being cautious and cautious", and Professor Yu Gengzhe said that Fang Xuanling never advises Li Shimin, li Shimin says that he will do whatever he wants, saying that the good point is to be cautious and cautious, and to say that the ugly point is to be only promised to be flattering. The author listened to Professor Yu Gengzhe's high theory and went back to review the records of Fang Xuanling in the "New and Old Tang Dynasties" and "Zhenguan Politicians". It was found that Fang Xuanling was really a promise, it was really what Li Shimin said, even if Li Shimin was outrageously wrong, he also resolutely implemented it.

For example, according to the "Book of the Old and New Tang Dynasties" and the "Zhenguan Politicians", Empress Changsun heard that there was a beautiful woman of the Zheng clan who was "extremely beautiful and untouchable at that time". Empress Xianliang Shude, the eldest grandson, personally came forward to petition and asked Li Shimin to crown Zheng as Chonghua (one of the nine concubines). Li Shimin pushed the boat along the water and issued an edict sealing the Zheng clan as the nine concubines. Ordinary people get married, but also "please date", to put it bluntly, pick a date. If Li Shimin wanted to marry The Zheng clan, he also had to pick an auspicious day of the zodiac, so there was a situation where the edict had already been issued, and the canonized angel had not yet set out. (In the second year of Zhenguan, the Sui Tongshi sheren Zheng Renji was sixteen and seventeen years old, Rong Se was absolutely untouchable, and at that time, Empress Wende visited and asked for it, please prepare concubines, Emperor Taizong hired as Concubine Yu, and Emperor Taizong hired As Chong Hua.) The edict has been issued, but the envoy has not been issued. ）

Just when Li Shimin was waiting for the beauty to return, Wei Zheng came out to stir up trouble. Wei Zheng heard that the Zheng clan had promised Lu Shuang, and although he had not yet completed his marriage, he had already received a dowry from someone else. In the ancient etiquette system, when the dowry was received, it was a wife with a husband. Li Shimin wanted to crown the Zheng clan as Chonghua, and according to the etiquette system at that time, it was to rob the wife of a subject, which was obviously wrong. Wei Zheng bluntly advised Li Shimin to quickly admit his mistake and said that he would withdraw the edict of Chonghua that had been sent out. (Wei Zhengwen Zheng had been assigned to the Lu family and advised him.) Emperor Taizong was horrified to hear this, and replied with his hand, deeply rebuking himself, so he stopped the envoy, but ordered the woman to return her old husband. ）
It came to this point and it seemed like it should be over. At this time, Fang Xuanling also came out to stir up trouble. Fang Xuanling took three officials to play a joint recital and said to Li Shimin: "Female Suitable Lu Clan, there is no obvious situation, and the great gift cannot be stopped."

At that time, Li Shimin really liked the Zheng clan, and after being advised by Wei Zheng, there was still a bit of a reluctant Zheng da beauty who was "out of reach at that time", and he also wanted to forcibly complete the canonization ceremony and marry the Zheng clan into the palace. Fang Xuanling speculated on his intentions, and on the grounds that "the great gift is done, it cannot be suspended", asked Li Shimin to complete the matter of canonizing Zheng Damei. Fang Xuanling's joint performance made Li Shimin secretly happy in his heart. Li Shimin went to Wei Zheng and told Wei Zheng what Fang Xuanling and the others meant, and asked Wei Zheng what he thought? Wei Zheng made another admonition, so that Li Shimin could only apologize and retire from marriage.
According to our vision today, Zheng Damei did not marry Lu Shuang, and Li Shimin wanted to marry Zheng, which should be no problem. According to the ancient etiquette system, if Li Shimin must insist on canonizing the Zheng clan, he is forcibly marrying the wife of a human subject. This incident occurred in the second year of Zhenguan, so it should be viewed in terms of ancient etiquette. Fang Xuanling, knowing that Li Shimin had made a big mistake in forcibly marrying Zheng, also encouraged Li Shimin to complete the ceremony of canonization. In this matter, Fang Xuanling is indeed a bit of a promise, or even a flattering meaning.

Around Li Shimin, there were many outspoken ministers, such as Wei Zheng, Wang Jue, Dai Ji, Zhang Xuansu and others. There are also a group of ministers who never give advice to Li Shimin, Li Shimin said east, they will never go west, Li Shimin pointed to dogs, they will never scold chickens, the representative figures of this group of ministers are the eldest son Wuji and Fang Xuanling. Professor Yu Gengzhe made a count and found that the ministers who dared to speak out were all outsiders. Wei Zheng and Wang Jue were from the old department of Crown Prince Li Jiancheng, and Dai Ji and Zhang Xuansu were from the old department of Dou Jiande. Those ministers who resolutely carried out what Li Shimin said were all the old departments of Li Shimin's Qin Dynasty. Why is this happening?

This has to talk about the employment methods of the emperor throughout the ages, and Li Shimin's ministers can be divided into retreats and pragmatists. For example, Wei Zheng, if you look at the records of him in the history books, you will find that Wei Zheng really has no political achievements in addition to being outspoken and extremely advised, and this kind of minister, Wang Mou, called the retreat faction. Fang Xuanling and the eldest grandson Wujie were responsible for the daily administrative work of the Tang Dynasty, and the major affairs of the state had to be handled by them, which Wang called pragmatic.

Li Shimin was very good at employing people, and he placed those ministers who dared to give opinions in retreat positions. The job of these ministers was to discover the mistakes of the emperor and the imperial court, so that they could make the most of their talents. Pragmatic officials such as Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji were responsible for handling affairs, and Li Shimin used people who were absolutely loyal to him. Such a person must strictly implement Li Shimin's orders. Everyone may wish to think that if Li Shimin's pragmatic officials, like Wei Zheng, thought all day about picking li Shimin's faults, and refused to carry them out when they picked out faults, would the Zhenguan Imperial Court still be able to operate normally? Li Shimin made the retreat ministers and pragmatic ministers perform their respective duties, and achieved the great cause of the rule of Zhenguan. The art of taming people of the Emperor of the Ages, high, is really high!
