Li Shimin had a clear understanding of the rise and fall of the Sui Dynasty, and he was determined to restrain himself and make great achievements in Xiu De. After years of hard work, he finally has a prosperous atmosphere.
With such impressive achievements, Emperor Taizong was not complacent. One day in the twelfth year of Zhenguan, he suddenly asked the ministers around him thoughtfully: "Which is more difficult, starting a business or staying in business?"
Fang "I think the country has been established, the order has not yet been established, and it is difficult to start a business."
"I think it's hard for Wei Zhi to hold on! Since ancient times, kings have experienced human hardships and lost their comfort. "
Fang has a profound cultural foundation of Taoism and Confucianism. In his early years, he became the number one think tank under the king of Qin because he was assisted by the "power of fixing the country" to ascend to the throne, and he was highly valued by Emperor Taizong from the early years of Zhenguan.
The boss who followed in his early years was Li, who was known as the "hidden king" in history. Because of his courage, he dared to speak out. After the Xuanwumen incident, he escaped and became an admonition officer, and Taizong took this as a mirror.
Tang Taizong's different answers to the two important ministers are eloquent: "Ling Xuan assisted me in taking the world and died all my life, so I know the hardships of starting a business;" Wei Zhi helped me govern the world, and I often worried that I would be arrogant and extravagant. The sage said, "Born in sorrow, died in happiness", so I know the difficulty of keeping my job. Both Ai Qing are right! It's just that it's hard to start a business, which is a thing of the past. Only by sticking to it can you be cautious! "
Be prepared for danger in times of peace. What is known is not enough for fear, only the unknown, and nothing has happened yet. Keep a little awe.
