Poetry 1 on advice when most needed is least heeded. A famous story about "advice when most is unpleasant"
In the history of China, Wei Zhi, the prime minister in the early Tang Dynasty, was famous for daring to speak frankly to the emperor. Whenever there was something wrong with Emperor Taizong, Wei Zhi would argue and persuade him. Even if Emperor Taizong lost his temper because of this, he was not afraid, but still boasted.
Emperor Taizong admired and feared Wei Zhi. After Wei Zhi died of illness, Emperor Taizong said sadly: "A person can see whether his clothes and hats are properly dressed by looking at copper;" Taking history as a mirror, we can know the reasons for the rise and fall of the country; Looking at people as a mirror, you can find out whether what you are doing is right or wrong. Now that Wei Zhi is dead, I have lost my most precious mirror. "
Why did Emperor Taizong regard Wei Zhi as his mirror? There is a reason for this.
As a teenager, Wei Zhi was born humble, lonely and poor, and once became a monk. He likes reading, delves into ancient books and is knowledgeable. At the end of the Sui Dynasty, Wei Zhi took part in the uprising against the tyranny of the Sui Dynasty. Later, he took refuge in Li Yuan, established by Tang Dynasty, and worked for Prince Li. Because of his outstanding talent, Wei Zhi was highly valued by the prince.
Later, his second son launched the "Xuanwumen mutiny" and killed his younger brother Li. Yang and Li Keen Shimin knew that Wei Zhi was a talented person, so they summoned him in person.
As soon as Li Shimin saw Wei Zhi, he was very angry and asked him, "Why do you want to alienate our brother?" The ministers present thought that Wei Zheng would be killed.
However, Wei Zhi calmly replied in a very confident tone: "If the Crown Prince had listened to me earlier, he would certainly not have ended up like this." After hearing this, Li Shimin was moved by Wei Zhi's fearless strength and integrity, and admired his personality from the heart. So instead of punishing him, he was reused.
Soon, Li Shimin acceded to the throne. He was Emperor Taizong. Emperor Taizong appointed Wei Zhi as an ancient adviser (an official post dedicated to advising the emperor), and later promoted him as prime minister. At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Emperor Taizong made great efforts to govern the country and often summoned Wei Zhi to discuss the gains and losses of governing the country with him. Wei Zhi is ambitious, brave and fearless, and boldly remonstrates with the spirit of seeking truth from facts. During his decades in office, he remonstrated with Emperor Taizong more than 200 times in order to make the people of the Tang Dynasty rich and strong. Every time, Emperor Taizong carefully considered his suggestions and tried to adopt them.
On one occasion, Emperor Taizong violated his regulations, and only adult men aged 18 should perform military service. He decided to recruit tall men aged 16 and 18 to join the army. After the order was issued, Wei Zhi strongly opposed it. Emperor Taizong was so angry that he was sent for and reprimanded.
Wei Zhi is not afraid. He protested seriously and said, "Now you take all the strong middle-aged men out for military service. So, who will farm the land? Who will do the work? You often say that when I become a monarch, I must first keep my word, but the laws of the country clearly stipulate that only the strongest men need to perform military service. Why don't you follow them? Don't you lose credibility in front of ordinary people? "
Wei Zhi's words calmed the anger of Emperor Taizong. He sincerely said to Wei Zhi, "Mr. Wang is really a mirror of my country and me! At first, I thought you were too stubborn and unreasonable, but now I feel very reasonable after listening to you. There are different government decrees, and the people are at a loss and cannot govern the country well. " Therefore, Emperor Taizong immediately ordered to stop recruiting China men for service and rewarded Wei Zhi.
Wei Zhi, who dared to speak out and remonstrate, not only made immortal contributions to the country, but also became an example for officials in past dynasties to follow.

4. Sentences and short examples about "Advice when most needed is least heeded"
(1) After the change of Xuanwu Gate, it was reported to Li Shimin, the king of Qin, that there was an official named Wei Zhi in the East Palace who had participated in the rebellion of Shi Biao and Dou Jiande. After the failure of Shi Biao and Dou Jiande, Wei Zhi went to Chang 'an, worked under Prince Cheng Jian, and once persuaded Cheng Jian to kill the king of Qin.
Hearing this, the king of Qin immediately sent for Wei Zhi. When Wei Zhi met the king of Qin, the king of Qin asked him with a straight face, "Why do you want to sow discord between our brothers?" The ministers around listened to the king of Qin's question, thinking that it was to settle Wei Zhi's old scores, and they were all aggrieved by Wei Zhi.
However, Wei Zhi calmly replied, "It's a pity that the prince didn't listen to me at that time. Otherwise, this will not happen. "
Hearing this, the king of Qin felt that Wei Zhi was upright and resolute. Instead of blaming Wei Zhi, he said kindly, "This is a thing of the past, and there is no need to mention it again." (2) On one occasion, Emperor Taizong asked Wei Zhi, "Why are some people smart and some stupid in history?" Wei Zhi said: "It is wise to listen to opinions from all sides; If you only listen to one-sided words, you will be fatuous (classical Chinese means' listen to the light, listen to the dark'). "
He also cited the historical examples of Yao, Shun, He and said: "If the ruler who rules the world can adopt the following opinions, then his feelings can be realized, and his cronies can fool as much as they want." Emperor Taizong nodded again and again and said, "You speak very well!" Another day, after reading the collected works, Emperor Taizong said to the ministers around him, "I think he is a man of great knowledge, and he knows how to make good use of Yao and Shun, but he is not good at solving problems. Why is it so ridiculous to do something wrong? " Wei Zhi said: "An emperor cannot rely on his wisdom and knowledge, but he should also listen to the opinions of his officials with an open mind.
Emperor Yang Di was conceited, proud and confident. He said what Yao Shun said, and he did it. Later, he got confused and led himself astray. (3) One day, Emperor Taizong got a vigorous and elegant kite, and he made it jump on his arm. While he was having fun, Wei Zhi came in.
Emperor Taizong was afraid of Wei Zhi's suggestion, so he could not avoid it. He quickly hid the kite in his arms. All this has long been seen by Wei Zhi, who deliberately chattered and delayed time when he was on a business trip.
Taizong was afraid to take out his kite, and as a result, it was confined in his arms. (4) On one occasion, Wei Zhi had a red face with Emperor Taizong in court.
Emperor Taizong really couldn't listen to it any longer. He wanted to have an attack, but he was afraid of losing his good reputation of accepting opinions in front of the ministers, so he had to barely hold back. After retiring from the DPRK, he returned to the Inner Palace with a full stomach, met his wife, his eldest grandson, and said angrily, "One day, I will kill this hillbilly!" Seeing that Taizong was so angry, the eldest grandson queen seldom asked him, "I wonder which one your majesty wants to kill?" "Emperor Taizong said," that's not Wei Zhi! He always insults me in front of everyone, which really makes me unbearable! Hearing this, the eldest grandson of the Queen did not say anything. She went back to the inner room, changed her clothes and bowed down to Taizong. "。
Emperor Taizong asked in surprise, "What are you doing?" The eldest grandson said, "I heard that only wise emperors have upright ministers. Since Wei Zhi is so upright, it just shows the wisdom of your majesty. How can I not congratulate your majesty! " These words were like a pot of cold water, which doused Taizong's anger. In 643 AD, the outspoken Wei Zhi died of illness.
Emperor Taizong was very sad. He said with tears: "a person can see whether his clothes and hats are properly dressed by looking at copper as a mirror;" Taking history as a mirror, we can see the reasons for the rise and fall of the country; Looking at people as a mirror, you can find out whether you have done it right or not. After Kevin·Z died, I lost a good mirror. "
"People can dress up their clothes with copper as a mirror; Taking history as a mirror, we can know the rise and fall; Take people as a mirror, you can know the gains and losses. Wei Zhi didn't, I died a mirror! " -This is the best interpretation of Wei Zhi's life value.
