Chapter 10 The princes and kings are assigned the ninth

In the seventh year of Zhenguan, Wu Wangke was granted the governorship of Qizhou.Taizong said to his courtiers: "The love between father and son, don't you want to see each other often? But family and country affairs are different, so you have to be a vassal screen. And let him have a fixed point early, and never covet him. After a hundred years, I will make his brothers have nothing to do." It is also a danger of death." In the eleventh year of Zhenguan, Ma Zhou, the official censor, said: "Since the Han and Jin Dynasties, all the kings have been inappropriate for the establishment of trees, and they did not pre-determined, so that they perished. The owner knows it well, but he is addicted to selfish love, so The car in front is overturned, but the car behind does not change course. Today, if the kings are favored and favored too much, the ministers are foolish to worry, not only because of their kindness and arrogance. In the past, Emperor Wu of Wei favored Chen Si, and Emperor Wen ascended the throne, defending confinement, There is a fellow prisoner, the former emperor gave too much grace, so the successor king feared him. This is Chen Si, who was favored by Emperor Wu, so it is suitable for suffering. And the emperor's son is not rich, he eats a big country, and seals a lot of households , good clothes and good food, what more do you need? And don’t add gifts every year, there is no record. The slang says: "The poor don't learn to be frugal, and the rich don't learn to be extravagant."

The words are natural.Now that your majesty is starting a business with the great sage, it is only for the children to dispose of it. It is necessary to formulate a long-term law so that all generations can follow it. "Shu Zuo, Emperor Taizong praised it very much, and gave him a hundred paragraphs. In the thirteenth year of Zhenguan, Chu Suiliang, an admonishing doctor, gave special materials to Wei Wangtai's mansion every day, surpassing the crown prince. , is very respectful, regardless of the use of things, spring goods and wealth, and share it with the king. Bastards are humble and should not be used as an example, so stop suspicion and eliminate the source of disaster.And the former kings must be based on human feelings, and then make laws. Knowing that there is a country, there must be a concubine.However, although the concubine loves him, he must not surpass the concubine, and must respect his integrity.If you can't clearly establish a clear distinction, then make the relatives sparse and the respected humble, then the crafty people will take advantage of the opportunity, selfish favors will harm the public, and the will will be confused and the country will be confused.

His Majesty Fu Wei's merits surpassed all ages, he crowned hundreds of kings, issued orders, and acted for the world.There are many opportunities in a day, or it may not be perfect, and there is no room for silence.Fu saw the prince's material, turned over the king of Wei Shao, and saw and heard it in the court and the public, but he didn't think it was true. "Biography" said: "The minister heard that Aizi taught the righteous prescription." ' Loyalty, filial piety, respect, and frugality are the so-called righteous prescriptions.In the past, the Empress Dowager Dou and Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty did not understand the principle of righteousness and prescription, so they arrogantly indulged Liang Xiaowang, sealed more than 40 cities, and the garden area was 300 miles away. , Unhappy, fell ill and died.Emperor Xuan was also arrogant and arrogant to the king of Huaiyang, almost to the point of defeat, relying on his assistance with the ministers who retreated, he was only exempted.

And since the king of Wei is new, he wishes to keep the etiquette and training forever, choose his master skillfully, and show his success or failure.He not only encourages thrift, but also persuades him to use literature.Only loyalty but filial piety, so the reward of morality and courtesy is a good tool.This so-called sage's teaching can only be achieved if it is not suppressed. " Taizong accepted his words deeply. In the sixteenth year of Zhenguan, Emperor Taizong said to his courtiers: "What is the most urgent thing in the country today? Everyone speaks for me." The right servant of the Shangshu shot Gao Shilian and said: "The most urgent thing is to raise the people." Urgent." Zhongshu servant Cen Wenwen said: "The "Biography" says: 'Tao is based on virtue, and uniformity is based on propriety.' From this point of view, etiquette and righteousness are urgent." Chu Suiliang, an admonishing doctor, said: "Now the four sides look up Virtue does not dare to do wrong, but the prince and the kings must have a certain point. Your majesty should be the descendant of the law of all generations. This is the most urgent thing today." Taizong said: "This is true. I will be fifty years old. I have already felt weak. Since the eldest son is guarding the East Palace, and the number of younger brothers and concubines is about forty, I am always worried about this ear. But since ancient times, the descendants have no good assistants, so why not defeat the family and the country. The public and others searched for virtuous virtues for me. To assist the prince's palace, to reach the kings, and to seek righteous men.

And officials and personnel are kings, and they should not be old for a long time.For a long time, it is divided into deep meaning and affection, and it is not intended to be a peep. "
