On the highest state of "remonstrating with death" from Bai Juyi's two poems
Bai Juyi once wrote a poem called "Dance of Seven Virtues". There are two sentences in it, which are called "Three thousand dissatisfied wives leave the palace, and four hundred death row prisoners return to prison." This poem tells the story of Emperor Taizong's arduous pioneering work. In the end, he brought the Tang Dynasty to a height that later generations could not surpass so far. This period is called "the prosperous time of Zhenguan".
What do these two poems mean?
It turns out that in the second year of Zhenguan, Li Shimin ordered all three thousand maids to be sent home and let them marry themselves. At that time, the ruling and opposition parties were shocked, and all the ladies-in-waiting and their relatives lived for a hundred years, which was an unprecedented act of kindness.
Five years later, Li Shimin visited the Beijing-China Prison and found that all the death row inmates sentenced by the Qiuhou referee were in chains and in a miserable situation, so he let them go back to reunite with their relatives and agreed to let them go to justice by themselves. Many death row inmates left happily. In autumn, 400 death row inmates really returned to prison one by one. The officials of punishments played Li Shimin, and Li Shimin was overjoyed. They were all pardoned.
Li Shimin's practice in these two matters is absolutely unprecedented, unprecedented and never-after-arrival, so it has become an eternal story.
However, such an eternal story is not only achieved by Li Shimin's own ability to govern the country, but also the direct effect of "teaching by example" in our title. A word from the eldest grandson queen is the best answer.
During Li Shimin's reign, Wei Zhi, the secretary in charge, risked his life to protest many times, and finally angered Li Shimin. One day after appearing in court, Li Shimin angrily told her eldest grandson that she had to kill Wei Zhi. Upon hearing this, the eldest grandson immediately knelt down to congratulate Li Shimin and said, "Now the world is peaceful and the emperor is enlightened, so we can have a minister who dares to speak out like Wei Zhi. Isn't this a great event for your majesty? "
Li Shimin just woke up, not only didn't blame Wei Zhi, but also rewarded him. However, after Wei Zhi's death, no one dared to risk their lives to make suggestions. Li Shimin was a militarist, and Koguryo's expedition failed, which weakened the country.
In fact, throughout the ancient history of China, there are still many officials who dare to "remonstrate against death" like Wei Zhi. Take the Ming Dynasty as an example, where there is no lack of bloody politics. During the reign of Yan Song, the officials who impeached Yan Song as the adulterer of the current emperor faced death threats every day, but in this case, there were still ministers Yang Jisheng and others who stepped forward.
Yang Jisheng's spirit of "remonstrating against death" can definitely move China. In Yang Jisheng's mind, the brilliant lintel and bright future brought by ten years of cold window are far less than the destiny and future of the country and the nation. The moment he said it, he actually ignored life and death. So did Harry later.
This spirit of "remonstrating before being quick" is a true portrayal of the highest realm of ancient literati in China, and it is also what we lack now.
