After Wei Zheng s death, why did Li Shimin personally knock down the tombstone erected for him?

Wei Zheng was born in 580 AD, when it was still the period of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and it was not established until 581 that the Sui Dynasty was established. We all know that the Sui Dynasty was established for only 37 years before it perished, so Wei Zheng's life can be said to have gone through three dynasties, the first half of his life was experiencing troubled times, and the second half of his life only met Li Shimin and created a peaceful and prosperous era together.

Wei Zheng first followed Yuan Baobao, the leader of the peasant rebel army at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and then Yuan Baobao was defeated by Li Mi, so he followed Li Mi and offered Li Mi ten strategies to strengthen Wagangzhai, but Li Mi did not have it, otherwise Wagangzhai might have become bigger. Li Jiancheng was a brave and unscrupulous man, Li Shimin's power continued to grow, but he turned a blind eye, in the face of such a situation, Wei Zheng repeatedly suggested that Li Jiancheng take action, either transfer him out of Chang'an, or kill him. But Li Jiancheng closed his ears and didn't listen, and in the end, Li Shimin made the first move, and the Xuanwumen change won the throne.

Li Shimin felt that he had extraordinary courage and talent, so he let him serve as an advisor. When he was a counselor, Wei Zheng spoke out many times and even risked his life to give direct advice, and many times Li Shimin was so angry that he wanted to kill his head. However, his advice also made Li Shimin cancel many wrong practices, and promulgated many measures for the benefit of the country and the people.

Before Wei Zheng died, he recommended two people to Li Shimin, Du Zhenglun and Hou Junji. Because of Wei Zheng's recommendation, Li Shimin entrusted these two people with important tasks. But later, both of them were implicated in the rebellion of the crown prince Li Chengqian, one was exiled, and the other was killed in prison.

Furious, Li Shimin thought that Wei Zheng was also related to this matter, so he knocked down the tombstone that Wei Zheng had erected with his own hands.

Before Wei Zheng died, he recommended two people to Li Shimin, and later the two were implicated in the rebellion of the crown prince Li Chengqian, one was exiled, and the other was killed in prison. Li Shimin believed that Wei Zheng had something to do with this matter, so he knocked down the tombstone that he had set up for Wei Zheng with his own hands.

The two people recommended by Wei Zheng to Li Shimin betrayed Li Shimin, so Li Shimin was furious and knocked down the tombstone erected for him.

Because of a misunderstanding, Li Shimin misunderstood Wei Zheng, so he pushed it to the tombstone.

Wei Zheng recommended two people to Li Shimin, but later both of them were implicated in the rebellion of the crown prince Li Chengqian, so Li Shimin was very angry.

Li Shimin reused the people recommended by Wei Zheng, and the two people on the left and the back defected.

Li Shimin entrusted the two people recommended by Wei Zheng to reuse, but these two flesh pains betrayed Li Shimin, so Li Shimin was very angry.

Li Shimin misunderstood Wei Zheng and pushed the monument to it.

Because the two people recommended to Li Shimin participated in the prince's rebellion, Li Shimin was angry and personally knocked down the tombstone erected for him.

Reasons: 1. Before Wei Zheng died, Li Shimin asked him who could take on the big responsibility, so Wei Zheng recommended Du Zhenglun, the squire of the Chinese book, and Hou Junji, the secretary of the ministry, saying that they had the talent of the prime minister and could take on the big responsibility.

But later Du Zhenglun was deposed for his crimes, and Hou Junji directly rebelled. This made Li Shimin suspicious of Wei Zheng.

2. Wei Zheng once gave his manuscript to the emperor to Chu Suiliang, who recorded history at that time. Tang Taizong suspected that Wei Zheng deliberately won the reputation of integrity, and he was very unhappy.

It was decreed to cancel the marriage contract between Princess Hengshan and Wei Zheng's eldest son, Wei Shuyu. Later, the more he thought about it, the more annoyed he became, and he actually smashed Wei Zheng's tombstone himself.

Because he found that the handwriting on the tombstone was not accurate, in order to express his love for Wei Zheng, he pushed it away and wrote it again.
