Although the change of Xuanwu Gate was cruel, the road to power was to donate blood everywhere. Li Shimin's ability to govern the country is beyond doubt. It can be said that he is a blessing to the Tang people. As soon as Li Shimin ascended the throne, he ordered Sun Chang Wuji and others to make more laws and reduce the punishment. Among them, 50 of the hanged categories were changed to right toe fractures. Even so, Li Shimin thought it was too harsh, so he changed to exile, exiled to a place three thousand miles away, served three years of hard labor, and didn't come back until he had a letter.
Later, Li Shimin sent 390 death row prisoners home to reunite with their families for one year, then returned to prison in the following autumn and executed them. The next year, these death row inmates spontaneously returned to prison. Li Shimin was deeply moved and pardoned them.
Here's another example. Li Shimin once read a medical book and saw "Tang Mingtu". People's internal organs were attached to their backs, which made Li Shimin feel a lot. He said, Now that the law has come into effect, how can the moustache suffer? ? So after the imperial edict, I will never recite it again. All these show that Li Shimin really loves the people.
Of course, he not only loves the people, but also can't bear to face animals. In one's hand, in one's hand, a short story is recorded. It is said that once Li Shimin fell ill, he found Guangluqing Mou Wei. Here is a brief introduction. Guang Luqing is a junior official who specializes in royal meals (including sacrifices and court meetings). If it is easy to understand, it can be compared to a royal chef.
What can I do for chef Wei? It turns out that his illness needs medicine blindly, that is, fat-free mutton. Fat-free is easy to understand, that is, less fat or even no fat, fat mutton is easy to understand. This is not difficult for Wei, but when these five words are put together, it becomes? Fat-free fat mutton? Let Wei's head grow up.
Fat-free and fat-free, what is this? After listening to Li Shimin's demands, he even felt that his official position would be lost, but it was an imperial edict. He had to promise without hesitation, and he had to go back and find a way.
When he came back, he called all the people together and asked if anyone knew how to get fat-free mutton, but everyone racked their brains and couldn't figure out how to make a fat-free mutton. This made tea and rice forget, and suddenly he thought of his good friend Hao.
Hao reads widely, especially Han's books. He was a scholar during the Zhenguan period, and made a book under the recommendation of Gao Shilian. Zuo Lang reads widely and is good friends with Guanglu Wei Qing. Ran to Hao's house and told Hao about this chore. He wants to ask Hao if he knows how to get this fat-free mutton.
Wei did not find the wrong person. After listening to the whole story he told, Hao smiled and said. If you had a good life, you wouldn't do it for this. ? Then he said to Wei: Leave this matter to me and promise to help you solve it. ?
As soon as Hao heard that there was a way, he happily went back to wait for news. Then Hao Chujun wrote a document and submitted it to Li Shimin. Li Shimin opened it and read:
Its fat-free mutton needs 50 fat sheep, and only one pair is slaughtered. Their sheep are afraid of losing fat and melting into the meat. Take the last sheep for example, it is extremely fat and fat-free. ?
In other words, it is not difficult to get this fat-free mutton, but you need fifty fat sheep, then put these sheep together and find a butcher to kill the fat sheep in front of them. When a fat sheep sees its own kind being killed in this way, it will have a horrible psychology, which will also be reflected in its body. In this case, its body fat will penetrate into the meat.
The fat sheep who witnessed 49 sheep dying in front of them really didn't have any fat at all, and all of them penetrated into the meat. Then kill this fat-free sheep and you can get fat-free mutton.
People who have fought many battles are shocked when they see this production method. I didn't expect a few catties of fat-free mutton to take fifty fat sheep to make. It's really cruel After reading Hao's document, I decided not to eat this fat-free mutton. His illness is not necessarily this fat-free mutton.
Of course, Li Shimin decided not to eat this fat-free mutton, not only because he couldn't bear to see such a cruel way of making it, but more importantly, eating this fat-free mutton represented luxury and waste, and Li Shimin didn't want this luxury to prevail in the royal family and even the officialdom.
So, I quickly informed the chef Wei and asked the chefs to stop making skim mutton. Hearing this, Mou Wei finally fell to the ground, and his office was saved. Otherwise, I really don't know how to get through it, and Hao is praised for his knowledge.
However, Hao's official position during the Zhenguan period was not high, until the period, Hao Cai really had the right to speak in the officialdom, which was an official and an official in the secretariat. Although his official position has changed from time to time, he has been a prime minister for more than ten years and studied national history. Even Li Zhi said: Your profound knowledge is beyond everyone's reach. ?
