Emperor Taizong of Tang

Tang Taizong, in history, many people say that it is an emperor through the ages, and his reign was not the longest, but at that time, it should be said that the level of population and economic development was not the highest.

Tang Taizong has such a high status in history, in fact, many exemplary models are created, from several levels, first of all, Tang Taizong it did a very good job, this good thing has indeed been recorded down, such as lightly dispensing with thin endowments, recuperation, elite military administration, people who are advised, these things are there, if he does not have these behaviors, the Tang Dynasty is also difficult to consolidate, you have to know that the Sui Dynasty Sui Dynasty Sui Emperor Era The highest population was more than 50 million Tang Taizong said, this 10 million, you imagine five people died four This price is big enough, for her Li family Jiangshan power mechanism from where? Let's not say that he is still good at restraining himself, he has these things have been recorded, this is the "Zhenguan Politician", the record is very important, you don't record it, people don't know it, right? The role of the historian, the role of this text, people talked so well, people tried to change it, publicized that they were angry and wanted to kill Wei Zheng, and finally endured it and did not kill.

The record is regarded as a model by later generations, and it is also that he did not record that he was so strong, but it was not recorded, and we will not say that his thoughts and his achievements, as well as some of his actions, constitute some examples of a Ming Jun. This model was used by later generations of Confucians and scholars to standardize and demand their own kings and their own leaders, so it should be like this to understand why Tang Taizong became an emperor throughout the ages.

But if we want to talk about the details, have we surpassed the predecessors? Or what about places that are difficult for future generations to reach? This Tang Taizong tried to establish a power constraint mechanism. For example, if he kills people, you don't execute them immediately, this person can kill, don't execute, don't execute in the newspaper, the third time the old emperor said that killing is killing, he did something he can restrain himself. The second one, you see it again, is it said who forged the resume, the death penalty, if you turn yourself in okay, because in the Tang Dynasty falsification of the resume can give you the end, the Tang Dynasty is like this, and finally? How many days of surrendering yourself will be fine, if you do not turn yourself in and find out at that time, you will be severely punished, and then after a while, someone will find out that he said the death penalty, and the vice minister of justice said that it is not OKAY, because this crime written in the law is exile, not death, then you do things according to the law, then what I say cannot be counted, Your Majesty, what you say is a small letter, the great faith of the law, if the law does not work, then how can he govern this country? Tang Taizong retracted, the third point, it is a conscious decision-making mechanism to constitute a medium constraint mechanism, that is, implementation, decision-making, supervision, these three aspects are their mutual cooperation, can not be one side to decide, he repeatedly told is the Zhongshu door, one order and one review, you do not collude with each other, you do not want to be with each other and mud, if you do not point it out in it, I set you to do what? You don't need to say that the other party has made a lot of opinions, you have a grudge, or you don't seriously review it with the mud, this country is important, you see how the former dynasty is finished, so in its institutional design, he has the intention of building a legislation, review and administrative implementation, such a relationship, a kind of restrictive relationship between institutions.

Tang Taizong tried to ask them to do this, he was one of the hundreds of emperors in China, the kind of emperor who was willing to take the restraint of himself, this aspect should be very few people to do.
