Chapter 23 Cautious Words Twenty-Second

In the second year of Zhenguan, Emperor Taizong said to his courtiers: "When I sit in court every day, if I want to say something, I think about whether it will benefit the people, so I dare not say more." "A king must write a book, and his words are preserved in the left history. The ministers should also practice daily life notes, and dare not be foolish. If your majesty's words are in line with the truth, you will be tired of holiness for thousands of years, and you will not stop harming the people today. May your majesty Be careful." Taizong was very happy and bestowed a hundred paragraphs of color.

In the eighth year of Zhenguan, Emperor Taizong said to his courtiers: "Speakers are the cardinals of a gentleman. How easy is it to talk about it? If a word is not good among the common people, people will remember it and become a shame. What's more, you are the master of all chariots? Don't speak out to be obedient. Lost. The loss is huge, how can it be the same as ordinary people? I always take this as a warning. Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was lucky to have the Oasis Palace at the beginning. 'How many were caught in the palace according to night. ’ Suosi suddenly sent thousands of people to pick them up, and sent five hundred to the side of the palace. "Wei Zheng said to him: "The ruler of the world is the lord of the world. If there is a loss, the ancients thought it was like the eclipse of the sun and the moon, and everyone would see it. "

In the sixteenth year of Zhenguan, every time Emperor Taizong talked to Gongqing about the ancient way, he would question and answer.Sanqi's regular attendant Liu Ji wrote a letter saying: "The emperor and the common people, the sage and the mediocre, hang up and down, which is like a lunatic. It is knowing that the foolish is against the holy, and the extremely humble is against the extremely honorable. Thinking about self-improvement is impossible. Your majesty has issued a decree of kindness, pretending to be kind, to listen to his words, and to accept his words with an empty chest. Disregarding its principles, referring to the ancients to reject its arguments, what order should the common people respond? I heard that the emperor regards silence as the most precious, and the sage regards silence as a virtue. Lao Tzu called it "the great debate is Ruo Ne", and Zhuang Sheng called it "the best way" No literature', this is not bothering. It is because Qihou read books, Lun Bian whispered, the Han emperor admired the ancients, and the eldest child Chen ridiculed. This is also not to be tired. And too many notes will damage the heart, and too many words will damage the heart. Qi, the internal damage of the heart, the external labor of the body and spirit, although you don’t realize it at the beginning, you will be tired later. You must love yourself for the sake of the country, how can you hurt yourself because of good nature? I steal that today’s peace is all achieved by His Majesty. If you want it to last forever, bandits From arguing, you should forget your love and hate, and choose carefully. Everything is honest and simple, and it is nothing more than fairness. If it was the beginning of Zhenguan, it would be fine. Just like Qin Zheng's strong argument, he lost people's hearts because of his self-esteem. Everyone expects to speak in vain. This is the exhaustion of the debate, and it can be clearly seen. I wish to speak eloquently, to nourish the spirit, to simplify the picture, to be light and joyful, to ensure longevity in Nanyue, and for the people of Qi to live in Donghu. The world will be very lucky. Ensibi." Emperor Taizong's edict replied: "There is no way to deal with non-concern, and there is no way to express concern without words. It is more troublesome than talking about it. I am afraid that you will say that you are underestimated.

The shape, spirit and spirit are not for work.Now that I hear the rumor, I am open-minded to change it. "
