When I tasted the court, I said, "My husband can dress himself with bronze as a mirror; Taking the past as a mirror, we can know the rise and fall; Take people as a mirror, you can know the gains and losses. I always keep these three mirrors in case I pass them. Now that Wei Zhi has died, he has died in a mirror! After the subjugation, I sent people to the house, and I got a piece of paper on the envelope. At first, I made a table, and the words were hard to read, but there were a few lines before, which was slightly distinguishable. The cloud said,' There are good and evil things in the world, and if you are good, you will be safe, and if you use the wicked, you will be chaotic.
within a public official, there are feelings of love and hate, and those who hate only see the evil, while those who love only see the good. Between love and hate, we should be careful. If we love, we know its evil, and hate, we know its good. If we get rid of evil, we should not doubt it. If we don't care about Ren Xian, we can prosper. " Its legacy is so, but when I think about it, I am afraid I will not be able to avoid it. Officials and courtiers can learn from books, but if they know, they will remonstrate. "
The appearance of the symptoms is not more than that of a middleman, but he is known for his courage and wisdom. Whenever Yan Jin remonstrates, although Wang Hess is angry, he looks unmoved. Du Zhenglun, assistant minister in the book, and Hou Junji, minister of the official department, are prime ministers. After the conscription, Zhenglun accused him of sin, and Junji committed rebellion, and Taizong began to suspect the conscription of the Arab Party.

2. In Afanggong Fu, the author expressed the alert meaning that future generations should take history as a mirror in one sentence.

Original text:
Six kings finished, four seas were one, Shu Mountain was upright, and Epang went out. Overpressure more than three hundred miles, isolated from the sun. Mount Li is constructed in the north and folded in the west, and goes straight to Xianyang. Erchuan dissolves and flows into the palace wall. Five steps to the first floor, ten steps to a pavilion; The corridor waist is back, and the eaves are high; Hold the terrain, intrigue. There are thousands of waves of water in the hive. Long bridge lies on the waves, what is the dragon without clouds? After the road is empty, don't you blame He Hong? High and low, I don't know the west and the east. The singing platform is warm and the spring is harmonious; The dance hall is cold-sleeved, and the wind and rain are sad. In one day, between palaces, and the climate is uneven. (I don't know a work: I don't know it; A work in the west and east: things)
The concubine, the prince and grandson, resigned from the downstairs hall and came to Qin to sing songs at night. She is from Qin Gong. The stars are shining, and the makeup mirror is also open; Lv Yun disturbing, comb Xiao Huan also; The nutrient-laden flow is greasy, and the fat water is abandoned; The smoke is oblique and foggy, and the pepper orchid is also burned. The thunder was shocked, and the palace car passed; I don't know what I'm doing when I'm listening from afar. One muscle, one capacity, is extremely beautiful, and looks far-sighted, but looks lucky. There are shady people, 36 years. (There is something to hide: there is something to see)
The collection of Yan Zhao, the management of Han Wei, the elite of Qi and Chu, has plundered its people for several generations, leaning on mountains. Once you can't have it, lose it. Tinkling jade, gold nuggets and pebbles, abandoning throwing and smashing, the Qin people regarded it, and they did not cherish it. Hehe! The heart of one person, the heart of thousands of people. Qin loves luxury, and people miss their homes. How can we use it like sand? Make the pillars of the negative building more than the farmers in Nanmu; There are more rafters on the beam than workers and women on the plane; Onion phosphorus, more than millet in Yu; The joints of the tiles are uneven, more than the silk of the whole body; Straight columns and horizontal sills are more than the battlements of nine soils; Orchestral string vomiting dumb, more than the words of the city people. Make people all over the world dare not speak and dare to be angry. A single husband's heart is becoming more and more arrogant. Garrison soldiers call, letter valley lift, Chu people burn, poor scorched earth!
ouch! Those who destroy the six countries are also six countries, not Qin; Qin is also the family of Qin, not the world. Hehe! Making the six countries love each other is enough to refuse Qin; Those who make Qin love the six countries again will be handed over to the three generations to be the king forever, and who will win and the family will be destroyed? Qin people are overwhelmed with self-mourning, and later people mourn it; Later generations mourn and fail to learn from it, which also makes future generations mourn for future generations.
