Why did Li Shimin smash Wei Zheng s tombstone?

What level these people are, I can't talk about it. The main reason is that Wei Zheng gave all his recitals to Cen Wenwen and wanted to compile them into history, most of those recitals criticized Taizong's mistakes, this kind of making himself famous and discrediting the monarch, Emperor Taizong was of course angry. In the other Hou Junji case (Wei Zheng recommended him), Li Chengqian's case (actually the same case as Hou Junji), Wei Zheng was his teacher, so he was implicated.

This is a secondary cause, and psychological causes are even more secondary.

Li Shimin's Xuanwumen change has always been pressed in his heart, this stain is also the driving force for him to cure the world, for this point, anything can be retreated, even when he was playing with a bird and touching Wei Zheng, he quickly hid it in his robe, not daring to let Wei Zheng see it, and lest he say that the plaything is demoralized or something, so as to suffocate to death. This well-known monarch, Wei Zheng's brain twitched in his later years, and he actually wanted him to publish his Cambodian words and chapters all over the world, and the anger in Li Er's heart can be imagined.

Zhenguan's rule and Wei Zheng's credit is half of it, and it can't be pushed down.

Because Li Shimin finally understood that he was calculated by Wei Zheng, Wei Zheng was the teacher of the crown prince Li Chengqian, and as a result, Li Shimin's son killed each other in order to seize the position of the crown prince like the Xuanwumen change back then, which made Li Shimin sad. Wei Zheng just wanted Li Shimin to taste this taste, even if Li Shimin gave him great grace, he never forgot Li Jiancheng, in this way to avenge the old master, and repay Li Jiancheng for his kindness.

Wei Zheng compiled all his exhortations to Li Shimin into a book, thinking that after his death, he asked his son to publish these publications to the world, which was a complete trick, just think, "Can any king tolerate the publication of his own "Criticism Encyclopedia"? ”

Because Wei Zheng's repeated excesses of "making a mistake and giving him a straight advice" made Tang Taizong have a "rebellious mentality", and toppling the tombstone was just a kind of hysterical venting that Tang Taizong showed because he had been suppressed for a long time. ‍‍

In fact, Taizong was always wary of Wei Zheng, but he had to use it, which was contradictory. In the end, when Taizong slandered and destroyed Wei Zheng's tombstone, he gave such an order, and smashed Wei Zheng's tombstone with his own hands, which shows that the deep resentment in his heart is one of the main reasons. ‍‍

In fact, Taizong was very upset about Wei Zheng's direct admonition, and he had a lot of grievances, so he could maintain the image of Mingjun and must endure it, but the emperor is also a human being, and if there are too many grievances, they will explode. ‍‍

There is a fuse in this matter, that is, Hou Junji's rebellion, because Wei Zheng recommended Hou Junji to Li Shimin, so Li Shimin thought that they were a gang, so he executed Hou Junji, destroyed the marriage contract with Wei Zheng's son, and smashed Wei Zheng's tombstone, but in fact it is not so simple, Wei Zheng was originally the staff of the crown prince Li Jiancheng, after the "Xuanwumen Change", Wei Zheng was established by Li Shimin as a typical representative of his magnanimity, Li Shimin wants to become a generation of Ming Jun must be open to the way of advice, And Wei Zheng also saw this, and he had the courage to give direct advice, and the two sang and harmonized, forming a story through the ages. ‍‍

Because when Wei Zheng was alive, he made full use of "the terrain is kun, and the virtue is loaded, so he can be yellow clothes and Yuanji." After death, the balance is lost, and naturally: the dragon fights in the wild, and its blood is yellow. ”‍

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.
