In the family instruction of past dynasties, the family instruction of emperors occupies a special position. One of his masterpieces is Li Shimin's commandment to the royal family.
Emperor Taizong attached great importance to the education of governors, and often warned future generations to abide by moral norms, strengthen moral cultivation, and master the way of governing the country. In "Commanding the Royal Family", Emperor Taizong warned the royal family that during my thirteen years in office, I never enjoyed traveling abroad, but I enjoyed internal music. You were born rich and grew up in the palace. Husband, Prince Di Zi, self-denial is the first step. Every time I wear clothes, I pity the silkworm girl; Eat one meal at a time and you will miss your husband. As for listening, don't indulge your emotions yet. Every time I go to the ordinary government, I dare not be afraid of getting old. You should not be short-sighted and rely on your own strengths, but you can always be rich and protect your chastity. The sage said, "Those who disobey me are my teachers, and those who obey me are my thieves." It is necessary to observe.
Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong, took his diligence as an example and warned his royal family who was born with wealth and grew up in the palace to restrain themselves, cherish their property and not be extravagant. Every time they wear a dress and eat a meal, they should not forget the hard work of silkworm women farmers.
When you hear a decision, don't be preconceived, let go of your emotions, be modest and be good at listening to different opinions. Don't despise others because they have shortcomings, and don't be arrogant because you have advantages. You should treat those who dare to oppose you as teachers and those who please you as thieves. Only in this way can we be prosperous, virtuous and auspicious forever.
2. From which three aspects did Taizong, the royal family of Emperor Taizong, warn future generations: first, abide by moral norms; Second, strengthen moral cultivation; Third, master the way of governing the country. Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong, took his diligence as an example, and warned the royal family who was born with wealth and grew up in the palace to restrain themselves, cherish their property and not be extravagant. Every time they wear a dress and eat a meal, they can't forget the hard work of their wives and farmers. When hearing the decision, be humble and be good at listening to different opinions. Don't despise others because they have shortcomings, and don't be arrogant because you have advantages. Treat those who dare to oppose you as teachers and those who please you as thieves. Only in this way can we be prosperous, virtuous and auspicious forever. The original text is: Li Shimin's Imperial Decree. I have been in office for thirteen years, and I have never enjoyed sightseeing outside, but I have enjoyed it inside.
You were born rich, grew up in a palace, and married Prince Di Zi. You must defeat yourself first. Every time I wear clothes, I pity the silkworm girl; Eat one meal at a time and you will miss your husband.
As for listening, don't indulge your emotions yet. Every time I personally supervise ordinary politics, I dare not be afraid of being burnt.
Don't be short of me, don't rely on your own strength, but you can always be noble and ensure your final luck. The sage said, "Those who disobey me are my teachers, and those who obey me are my thieves".
It is necessary to observe.
3.2. Look carefully? 0? 0 Taizong admonished the royal family? 0? 3. What three aspects did Emperor Taizong encourage future generations? Although many people mistakenly think that Li Ke is the favorite son of Emperor Taizong because of the propaganda of TV series, as far as historical facts are concerned, Li Ke said that no one can be worse than him.
What is the truth? Let's see how the history books are recorded. First of all, according to historical records, Li Ke went to the fief in the seventh year of Zhenguan at the latest, but Lee Tae, the same age as Li Ke, was not "the country of China". Emperor Taizong even thought about letting him "live in the Wude Hall", but Wei finally dissuaded him.
Li Zhi has been raised by Emperor Taizong himself since the death of his eldest grandson. Even after being made a prince, Emperor Taizong kept him around at the expense of blatantly violating the etiquette system, which led Chu Suiliang, Liu Yue and others to go to Zhenguan in 18 and 20 years respectively, pleading with the emperor not to keep the prince around and spoil him blindly and let him go back to the East Palace. Secondly, when Li Ke went to be the governor of qi zhou in the seventh year of Zhenguan, Emperor Taizong said to Li Ke, "Do you have to meet each other often?" But things at home are special, so we need to make a screen. "
It can be seen that the reason why the vassal was named a vassal was because of the "special family and country events" and the "coveted heart" of the vassal. But these grandiose words are actually more suitable for Lee Tae, the mother and brother of the Prince, than Li Ke, the concubine. After all, as the prince's mother and brother, Lee Tae is the biggest threat to Chu.
However, in the face of "family affairs", Emperor Taizong not only refused to let Lee Tae be a vassal, but even wanted him to move into the Wude Hall. Not to mention Li Zhi, Emperor Taizong always took this son with him personally, and never mentioned anything about the Francisco. Zhenguan 16 even sent him to the imperial court to participate in politics, but it happened that Li Ke, who was not a threat, was sent to the fief. In addition, if we only pay attention to the sentence "You disobey your knees, you are sad for what you have done, but you want to keep your treasure for fun, but you are afraid of being extravagant and extravagant" in this letter written by Emperor Taizong in Zhenguan 12, we will naturally feel that it is full of father-son feelings, but the title of this letter is "To the Five Commandments".
The admonisher means warning and warning. When Li You, the king of Qi, made repeated mistakes in fiefs, Emperor Taizong also wrote a letter to "admonish". Therefore, this letter is not about the feelings of missing after leaving, but that Emperor Taizong wrote a letter warning Li Ke to stay in his fief honestly and not to run amok again.
And just like Mrs. Tang said to Li Ke, "If you want to keep treasures for fun, you will be afraid of arrogance"-refusing to give him more property on the grounds of avoiding Li Ke's arrogance and extravagance. As a result, in the face of Li Chenggan and Li Taishi, Emperor Taizong took the opposite attitude. Emperor Taizong not only rewarded Li Taishi with "ten thousand Thai things", but also gave Lee Tae "more things than the crown prince" every month, and even directly lifted the restrictions on Li Chenggan's use of the treasury.
As for how Emperor Taizong would express his love for his son in his letters, let's take a look at a letter written to Li Zhi by Emperor Taizong when he went to Koguryo. It was disgusting. However, compared with the stern warning to Li Ke, perhaps this letter from Emperor Taizong to Li Zhi is more like an ordinary love between father and son.
"Two Posts" Original: I got the internal book twice, but I didn't see the slave table. Ye Ye avoided death forever. In a short time, I suddenly got a slave's calligraphy, reported my wife's illness, and worried for a while. I want to recover like death. I passed it today, but the first time I got angry, the letter was about to be reported. Yes, yes, if you are less sick, you will report one by one.
I got the news from Liaodong today. I recorded it and sent it. I remember slaves wanting to die. I don't know how to get back. Yeah, yeah.
I received the documents from ouchi twice, but I still haven't seen your letter. Dad, I was so worried.
I suddenly received your calligraphy just now, saying that my wife was ill, and my worries and fears suddenly disappeared, just like coming back from the dead. From now on, write to me as soon as you have a headache.
Dad, if I am sick, I will write to you letter by letter. I got the news from Liaodong (battlefield) today. I'll copy it for you.
You miss your little slave so much that you don't know when you can go back. That's all you have to say. Dad, please.
Finally, it is the fact that many people relish that Emperor Taizong wants to make Li Ke, the king of Wu, a prince. Some even claimed that if Emperor Taizong didn't like Li Ke, how could he be made a prince? Then we might as well see why Emperor Taizong suddenly thought of replacing Li Ke with a prince. In Zhenguan 17, it took more than half a year for Emperor Taizong to establish Li Zhi. He feels that his youngest son is only 15 years old, and he has always been around and has little experience. As the future heir of the empire, he is not strong enough, and he is worried that he can't control state affairs well. After all, he is "a long-term monarch of a country."
So Emperor Taizong thought of changing the storage, and Li Ke was the only suitable candidate at that time, because look at other princes besides Li Ke: the second son Li Kuan, the fourth son Lee Tae, the fifth son Li You was demoted when he seized the throne, and the sixth son Sung Jae Lee was assassinated in the seventeenth year of Zhenguan. He was denounced by Emperor Taizong as an animal, not as good at collecting money as Liu Yun, the seventh son, and was impeached by the company. Under such circumstances, does Emperor Taizong have any other choice except Li Ke, who is nearly 9 years older than Li Zhi? In the final analysis, Emperor Taizong wanted to establish Li Ke because other older princes were either demoted or killed because they seized office, or they were really helpless. Although Li Ke had been demoted and cut off for stepping on crops and gambling many times, Emperor Taizong had no choice but Li Ke.
However, it is obvious that Emperor Taizong's idea of establishing Li Ke was not well thought out, but on a whim. Because if Emperor Taizong really wanted to change Li Ke, or was determined to change the storage, then Sun Chang Wuji would never have a chance to "fight in the dark", let alone make a final decision just by a word from his family.
After all, the world belongs to Li, not his grandson. In the seventeenth year of Zhenguan, Sun Chang Wuji was an excellent Stuart, but as far as the * * * system of the Tang Dynasty was concerned, Stuart's position was only a hollow position.
With no real power at all, how can Sun Chang Wuji keep state affairs? At this time, he was dead, but these ministers of Fang, Li Jing, were still alive, and Emperor Taizong was in the prime of mastering the military power. How can you let Sun Chang, who has neither real power nor military power, control state affairs indefinitely? Besides, the abolition of the Crown Prince is a national event, not a joke.
4. What inspiration did you get from the classical Chinese "Commanding the Royal Family"? It is not difficult to see that Emperor Taizong attached great importance to the education of princes, and often warned future generations to abide by moral norms, strengthen moral cultivation, and master the way of governing the country.
Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong, took his diligence as an example and warned his royal family who was born with wealth and grew up in the palace to restrain themselves, cherish their property and not be extravagant. Every time they wear a dress and eat a meal, they should not forget the hard work of silkworm women farmers. When you hear a decision, don't be preconceived, let go of your emotions, be modest and be good at listening to different opinions. Don't despise others because they have shortcomings, and don't be arrogant because you have advantages. You should treat those who dare to oppose you as teachers and those who please you as thieves.
Only in this way can we be prosperous, virtuous and auspicious forever.
5. The first impression left by Li Shimin of Emperor Taizong to most people is probably a general with an open mind.
Admittedly, he is not humble. It just went in one ear and out the other, and after listening to the opinions of my liegeman, I still did what I originally wanted to do.
Get a good reputation, but also enjoy it. Ideal saint: The image of an enlightened and easily trained person is so certain that the general public always needs to look up to it.
So history, like real life, needs idols, especially emperors with idol temperament. Emperor Taizong seems to have been quite cooperative in this regard.
Encouraged by Emperor Taizong's exhortation, the monarchs and ministers in Zhenguan once really formed the atmosphere of speaking out and admonishing ministers. Pei Ju, Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, was able to boldly remonstrate and fight for it in the Sui Dynasty.
Sima Guang said: "Pei Ju was loyal to the Tang Dynasty because of the change of his nature;" If you hate it, your loyalty will become loyalty, and if you are willing to speak out, your loyalty will become loyalty. "Go your own way: coachable listens with an open mind and does what you want. According to the second volume of Zhenguan Dignitary, in the fourth year of Zhenguan, Emperor Taizong ordered the repair of Luoyang Gonggan Yangdian to prepare for the inauguration tour.
Zhang wrote a letter of protest. Although Emperor Taizong was very unhappy, he did not have an attack, but ordered "to stop all work immediately". He also took advantage of the topic and said, "It is better to admire a scholar than to be immune to it."
However, it is recorded in Zi Jian (Volume 193) that the following year, just after the renovation of Jiucheng Palace, Emperor Taizong once again proposed to rebuild Luoyang Palace. This time, Dai Zhou, Minister of Civil Affairs, stood up against Cobb, who is still open-minded. He not only praised Dai Zhou for "serving the country faithfully and knowing everything", but also promoted him to an official position.
However, after a while, Emperor Taizong could not help but order Dou Zhuo to repair Luoyang Palace. There are many scattered records in the history books about things like advice when most needed is least heeded, one step at a time and so on.
Emperor Taizong, who is "open-minded and teachable", is just a "moral illusion" of the "inner sage and outer king" concocted by Confucian scholars and Emperor Taizong himself. Ministers tried their best to suppress Tang Taizong's selfish desires and put him into the correct track of "being a saint inside and a king outside", so they frequently remonstrated.
Emperor Taizong, on the other hand, accepted almost every suggestion and gave little reward to those who made it, but there was little change in his actions: after giving it to members of parliament, he wanted to go hunting, but he would still go; Want to build a new house, or will you? But the coach's secret: formalism has shaped the image of a generation of sages. Looking back at the history of Zhenguan period, it is not difficult to find Li Shimin's strong performance traces.
The talented emperor was so concerned about his image in the history books that he deliberately revised his every move. More than once, he tried to create a glorious image of his simple life and cherishing the people's strength by talking with his officials.
During the twenty years of Zhenguan, Emperor Taizong did accept too many admonitions, but acceptance is one thing and implementation is another, and most of them were not effectively implemented in the end. When he fully demonstrated his magnanimous demeanor in court, and when his tolerance for offending face was recorded by historians, he soon forgot the specific content of the advice.
For Emperor Taizong, it is important to accept the proposal, not the content. It is worth noting that for Confucian intellectuals, especially civil servants, it is only important to be influenced by them, not to implement the content that is easily influenced by them, because all they need is a "representative of ordinary destiny."
Therefore, in the political ideal of Confucianism, the whole meaning of Emperor Taizong is just a utopia of "inner saints and outer kings". As for the rule of Zhenguan, in addition to giving people enough "deification", there is only a perfect formalism.
6.& lt& gt Can be admonished, Emperor Taizong, after three years in Zhenguan, Emperor Taizong said, "There are more articles than books. The walls of the house are always glued together, so diligent people want to do their best. Every time they think about politics or go to bed in the middle of the night, they also hope that the public will be diligent. With a deputy, I also ... "-.
I often think about politics and sometimes I don't rest until after midnight. I also hope that ministers will work tirelessly to repay my heart. "。
