Pang Xiangshou, the secretariat of Zhou Pu, was dismissed for corruption, and said that he had worked in the Qin Palace. Li Shimin felt sorry for him and wanted to hear him say that he should be reinstated. Wei Zhi urged, "When you were king of Qin, there were many people around you inside and outside the imperial court. I am afraid that everyone depends on love and preference, which is enough to make good people afraid. " The emperor readily adopted his suggestion and said to Pang Xiangshou, "I used to be the king of Qin, just the owner of a palace; Now that I am in the high position of emperor, I am the master of the world. I can't be partial to my old friends alone. The decree executed by the minister is like this. How dare I violate it! " So he gave him silk and sent him away. Pang Xiangshou left with tears in his eyes.
