Anecdotes of Emperor Taizong:
Chu Suiliang was a famous calligrapher in Tang Dynasty. His calligraphy is varied and unique. Because he was proficient in calligraphy, he was recommended to Emperor Taizong by Wei Zhi and appreciated by Emperor Taizong.
Emperor Taizong appointed Chu Suiliang as a living lang to record the words and deeds of the emperor. Once, Emperor Taizong asked Chu Suiliang, "You record my words and deeds every day. May I have a look? " Chu Suiliang replied: "The post of Ju Zhulang is now established, just like an ancient historian. All good deeds and evil deeds should be recorded to urge the emperor not to make mistakes. I have never heard that the emperor himself wants to read these contents. "
Emperor Taizong asked again, "If I have any bad remarks or behaviors, will you write them down?" Chu Suiliang replied: This is my duty. I will write down everything you say and do. "
Soon, Emperor Taizong said to Sun Chang Wuji, "Today, I want to comment on your merits and demerits face to face as a warning. The speaker is not at fault, and the listener has corrected himself. "
Then he looked at Sun Chang Wuji and said, "You are good at avoiding suspicion and improvising, but leading troops to fight is not your strong point. Gao Shilian is well-read, highly savvy, and never changes his mind. He is an official, does not pull gangs, but lacks the courage to speak out. "
Emperor Taizong commented on the ministers of the DPRK and finally talked about Chu Suiliang. Emperor Taizong said: "Chu Suiliang has made great progress in his studies and his personality is very straightforward. He is loyal to the court and has great feelings for me. He usually looks like a flying bird. I love him very much! "
