"What surprised us was Tang Taizong's approach to this matter, at that time, it seemed that a locust flew into the palace, and this locust was immediately eaten by him after being caught by Li Shimin."

After Li Shimin ate it, he pointed to his stomach and said to the locusts inside: Don't eat the people's crops, but eat the meat in my stomach.

The ministers below were shocked, and hurriedly dissuaded the emperor that this locust could not be eaten.

Li Shimin's move reflects the country's Confucianism at that time, that is, Lao Tzu's "benevolent invincible", which can only get a country with benevolence and righteousness, and the unkind world will not make the people return to their hearts. ”

"And Li Shimin's attitude towards the people is enough to win the support of the people, even the emperor has shown his attitude like this, and he has done it, on the premise that a small common man does not submit to the Tang Dynasty under the premise of obtaining benefits, who else will he return to?"

"It is enough to see that Li Shimin's attitude at that time was to govern the country wholeheartedly, care for the people's livelihood, and be a good emperor who was truly benevolent and righteous."

"Li Shimin is also good at recognizing people and making good use of talents, especially the character of being able to ignore previous suspicions, which is still very rare among emperors."

"Although he faced some people who had conflicts with his past, he never gave up talent because of personal grudges."

"He knows that the construction of the country needs the help of many talents, and only in this way can we retain the hearts and minds of the people."

"Wei Zheng, this was a very important minister in the Li Shimin period, and his outspoken merits made history directly praised."

"The most obvious example is definitely Wei Zheng, an important minister."

"Before Wei Zheng became Li Jiancheng's person, he had repeatedly confronted Li Shimin and raised various objections."

However, after Li Shimin came to power, he chose to ignore his past suspicions and continue to trust Wei Zheng, and this tolerant and inclusive attitude made many talents willing to work for him.

"Wei Zheng is known for his talent, but he is also known for his straightforwardness and does not care about the feelings of others."

"He even pointed out the emperor's mistakes in front of the emperor, and although Li Shimin was displeased by this, he did not abandon Wei Zheng because of this, but accepted his criticism and teaching."

"When his brother Li Jiancheng was in the position of prince, Li Shimin did not have the ambition to compete for the position of prince."

"He prefers to be an important assistant to help his brother."

"However, Li Jiancheng is not up to the role of the crown prince."

Although he was docile on the surface, he was stingy and selfish on the inside, and this character was not suitable for the emperor, coupled with the incident of the "Xuanwumen Coup", Li Shimin was made the new crown prince. ”

"After succeeding to the crown prince's throne, he treated his previous subordinates leniently, including Wei Zheng, who had plotted for Li Jiancheng to oppose Li Shimin many times."

"Although some strategists suggested getting rid of Wei Zheng to avoid trouble in the future, Li Shimin still chose to ignore his past suspicions, reuse him, and even promoted Wei Zheng to prime minister."

"Wei Zheng is a person with strong self-assertion, and he does not make concessions in officialdom, especially towards the emperor."

"He would not hesitate to speak out on any occasion, even if he pointed out the emperor's mistakes in front of everyone, which embarrassed Li Shimin many times."

"But Li Shimin did not give up Wei Zheng because of this, such an emperor makes people feel very angry, and after arguing many times, Li Shimin still accepted Wei Zheng's suggestions and teachings."

"During the reign of Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, the economic and social development of the Tang Dynasty has indeed been greatly developed and unprecedentedly prosperous."

"As a result of his rule of Zhenguan, reforms were carried out in agriculture, economy, politics, and military, and the results of the reforms were very significant."

"All this is not only because of Tang Taizong's own intelligence and courage, but also because of an important reason, that is, he knows how to make good use of talents."

Tang Taizong Li Shimin can be said to have his own method in the management of talents, he believes that "the king is always virtuous, the official is always virtuous, and the scholar is always respectful." ”

"Constantly discovering talents and making good use of talents, thus creating a generation of Zhenguan prosperity."

"Li Shimin, who was still the king of Qin, went to the front line to participate in the war at the age of 16, and two years later his father raised an army against the Sui, and the 18-year-old Li Shimin was promoted as the commander of the Tang Army, leading an army that was not lacking in the old, weak, sick and disabled, and completed the great cause of reunification at the age of 24, which is unique in history, so his military ability should not be underestimated."

Li Shimin believes that "the king of the Ming Dynasty makes people like weapons, all of which are taken from the time, not from other generations." "Li Shimin's concept of making people like a tool has enabled him to discover and hire a large number of talents, and there are all kinds of talents."

"Because of Li Shimin's good use, these talents reused by Li Shimin have played an extremely important role in Li Shimin's raising the banner against the Sui, fighting for the throne, or governing the country and the country."

"After just establishing his own great cause, Li Shimin urgently needed talents in order to consolidate and develop, and at this time, Li Shimin mobilized all the ministers to recommend talents to him."

"Minister Deyi was criticized by Li Shimin for his lack of recommendations, and Deyi explained that he had not found unsuitable talents."

Tang Taizong immediately pointed out: What generation has no sage, but he doesn't know what he is missing? This is very true, which dynasty will have no talents, only to be missed, so it is not discovered. ”

"Fang Xuanling, who is dedicated to working for the country and has done a very good job in logistics."

"There is Wei Zheng, who dares to give direct advice, and Li Jing, who can not only lead troops to fight and be a general, but also enter the imperial court to engage in management and serve as the prime minister."

"And in Li Shimin's eyes, everyone has his irreplaceable advantages and strengths, but he must have a pair of eyes that can find their respective advantages."

"After discovering it, they can arrange positions based on their respective experience and strengths, so that they can show their talents in the field they are good at."

"In Li Shimin's eyes, even if there are peerless treasures and a thousand taels of gold, it is not as good as the prosperity of the talents gathered around him and the respect of the wise men, which is Li Shimin's way of making good use of talents."

"Li Shimin has turned a country that has just come out of the war into a model of prosperity, and the key point is to be good at employing people."

"No matter how good the policy is, it is in vain if it cannot be effectively implemented, so it is very important to use the right people and make good use of them."

"The world is so big, the world is not the monarch alone, and the monarch alone can govern it well."

"The most important task of a leader is to employ people, use the right people, get twice the result with half the effort, rule vertically, use people improperly, corrupt the government, and cause endless harm."

"And among Li Shimin's courage to employ people, I want to mention a general, he is the Tang Dynasty military god - Xue Rengui."
