He pursues the famous principle of chastity. After he succeeded to the throne, he respected the ministers very much, studied the law of governing the country hard and actively learned from them. During the Zhenguan period, he advocated weakening the local separatist forces, but he did not force the local separatist forces to obey him, but knew that the power of tolerance was endless. He actively listened to the governance methods of small countries and tried his best to satisfy them in order to achieve long-term stability.
When he was in office, in order to get more talents, he set up the Hong Wen Pavilion, where talents could study freely in case of emergency, hoping to do their part when the country needed it. Another reason why he was highly respected by scholar-officials was that he regarded morality as the only criterion, regardless of rank, which provided opportunities for honest people who were not children of officials to serve the country. These humble disciples also brought some fresh air to the political circles. This has an indelible effect on rectifying political achievements. Li Shiming took Yang Di as a warning when dealing with ministers. After becoming emperor, he actively encouraged ministers to offer suggestions and relaxed the right to remonstrate, which could effectively reduce his mistakes in decision-making. Sometimes even some ministers humiliated Li Shimin in court. He won't blame them for it, but discuss the solution with them. It is precisely because of his clear-cut policies and employment methods that a period of national prosperity and people's security has been brought about.
Emperor Taizong's general plan of governing the country
Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty, initiated the "Rule of Zhenguan" and showed the world the most prosperous social outlook and political structure of a country. At that time, the Tang Dynasty was also called China, and Emperor Taizong became "Tiankhan". It can be seen that its political, economic and cultural development level was the most advanced at that time, and the general plan of governing the country of Emperor Taizong, who created this prosperous time, was also followed by successive emperors.
Politically, Emperor Taizong took history as a mirror, learned the lessons from the demise of the Sui Dynasty, and loved the people like children. Moreover, the imperial examination perfected the talent selection system. Wei Zhi was a representative figure of the exhortation school at that time. He set up councilors and opened them up. Economically, reducing people's taxes, labor and military service, attaching importance to economic development and agricultural production, fundamentally improving people's living standards, and storing wealth in the people led to the social phenomenon of "not connecting roads and not closing households at night" in the prosperous Tang Dynasty.
Militarily, the "combination of soldiers and farmers" is implemented. The people cultivated in the busy farming season and practiced martial arts in winter, which enabled the whole country to train troops, gradually restored the frontier lost in the Tang Dynasty and gradually became the only big country at that time. In terms of cultural development, Emperor Taizong vigorously promoted Confucianism and advocated "poetry and calligraphy etiquette". Therefore, the Tang Dynasty became a prolific dynasty for literary writers. Famous poets such as Li Bai and Du Fu all came from the Tang Dynasty.
In addition, Emperor Taizong paid special attention to national unity, pursued an equal national policy and promoted the peaceful reunification of all ethnic groups. Under the policy of Emperor Taizong from top to bottom and from inside to outside, the Tang Dynasty finally became a world power at that time, and Emperor Taizong's strategy of governing the country was followed by successive emperors.
The achievements of Emperor Taizong
Speaking of the achievements of Emperor Taizong, there are too many to mention. He has been emperor all his life and worked hard for the country and the people. Emperor Taizong's most famous achievement was to listen to opinions widely. He is very supportive of the minister's suggestion. Any opinions and suggestions can be weighed again. So e
During the reign of Emperor Taizong, a political system of separation of powers was initially established. Even the orders issued by himself had to be examined by the provincial government before they could be issued, which could ensure the timely discovery of mistakes and the feasibility of policies. Lighten the punishment, not easily sentenced to death, and send the prisoner back to his hometown for the New Year. At the end of the year, they returned to prison to continue serving their sentences, and no one escaped.
Emperor Taizong also made great achievements in facilitating ethnic policies. He allowed foreigners and overseas people to live and work in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and a number of minority heroes emerged. Today's overseas Chinatown is the best proof.
Emperor Taizong also set up schools, attached importance to education, improved the imperial examination system and established a fair examination mechanism, which delivered batches of outstanding talents to the court and made outstanding contributions to the development of Tang poetry.
In addition, Emperor Taizong also made great achievements in economy. Emperor Taizong did not discriminate against businessmen, but gave them preferential policies to ensure their personal safety and promoted the economic development at that time.
On the whole, Tang Taizong's achievements involved politics, economy, nationality, people's livelihood and military affairs. Some people say that Emperor Taizong is one of the greatest people in China after Confucius, and this evaluation is well deserved.
