Since ancient times
，
There are very few heroes who can achieve a good death
, and most of the heroes
They all died under the imperial sword
There are very few people who can escape the disaster, and the reason why this is so has a lot to do with the heroes themselves. For example, Qin Shubao and Wei Chigong in the early Tang Dynasty, the reason why they were able to enjoy their old age peacefully, in addition to their knowledge, was to play their own advantages to the extreme.
For those in power in ancient times
, the requirements for subordinates,
In addition to being useful, you must also be loyal
。 Because although those in power need talents, they are not short of talents, and if the subordinates are not loyal, the consequences are very serious.
In general, meritorious people are capable and talented, and have made great achievements. But
If not they are disloyal
, not strict with oneself,
Pampered and proud
Even conspiracies to rebel
For those in power, it is the opposite
Pay for one's whistle
。
And Qin Shubao and Wei Chigong were not only brave and invincible on the battlefield, but also made countless contributions, which benefited Li Shimin endlessly. He was also particularly loyal and played this advantage to the extreme, even if they did not say it, Li Shimin could feel this loyalty.
This is also the reason why they can become door gods, because the door gods are whitely the doormen, and
Janitors naturally need loyal people
in order to give people a sense of security
。 whereas
Door God
Then the sublimation of the janitor,
Nature needs to be dutifully representative of the person
。 From this, it can be seen that Qin Shubao and Wei Chigong are
behaviour
, yes get
Recognized by the world
target.
Again
Qin Shubao and Wei Chigong were two
If his head was really not good and he was not interested, how could he possibly get Li Shimin's reuse? It can be said that the two must have been
Great wisdom
Only after entering the new camp can the superior leaders admire and the colleagues be convinced, and only then will they accept them wholeheartedly.
meantime
The two men were strict with themselves
Don't make low-level mistakes
Do not form parties for personal gain
This kind of behavior made the superior leaders very reassuring, so Li Shimin trusted the two so much, and entrusted them with heavy responsibilities, relying on them as his confidants. Therefore, it is not unreasonable that the two can live to the end of their lives. Most of the heroes who have been killed in history have committed the above-mentioned things.
But the only difference is,
Qin Shubao's personality is more astute
Wei Chigong's personality is more straightforward
。 Therefore, in his middle age, Wei Chigong also made the mistake of being proud of his achievements, which led to almost being killed by Li Shimin

finish.
Wei Chigong was not only brave and good at war, but also made a lot of merit when Li Shimin was still the crown prince, and in the change of Xuanwu Gate, he also had the merit of the dragon. After Li Shimin ascended the throne and became emperor, he also contributed a lot in the conquest of the Turks.
These merits were accumulated, so that Wei Chi Gong was added to the rank of knight, and the official road was prosperous. however
Life is too smooth
, but it is easy to let people lose themselves, and the same is true of Wei Chigong,
For a moment, he was addicted to his own power and could not extricate himself
therefore
Wei Chi Gong
Begin to be complacent, often
Sneered at the Ministers
, and there are
Fang Xuanling, Du Ruyi, and the eldest grandson are unscrupulous
et al.
The so-called "man will not die if he does not die"
Six years of chastity
Li Shimin invited meritorious people from all over the world to come to the banquet, but Wei Chigong beat up the heavy ministers after entering the banquet.
The thing is, Wei Chigong saw that his seat was not the most superior, and there were many officials whose seats were better than his, so he was furious, and Li Daozong next to him analyzed him.
I don't want to
Wei Chigong confiscated his temper
He directly beat Li Daozong and almost blinded him in one eye, making Li Shimin angry and teach him a lesson on the spot.
Li Shimin said that when he read the history books, he found that the emperor always killed heroes, and at that time he did not quite understand, but now he finally understood.
Therefore, he said to Wei Chigong: "It is you heroes, after you have achieved fame, who did not restrain your own behavior and repeatedly made mistakes, which caused the emperor to have to kill!" ”
When Wei Chigong heard this, he immediately did so
Wake up
When I came over, I found that I had been too smooth in the past few years, I had forgotten my original intention, and I had not been able to discipline myself strictly. also
I understand that a courtier is a courtier after all
, I was too blunt before, thinking things too simple, in
There is no sentiment in the law of the land
Not everything can be overcome with merit,
Merit and fault are divided
From then on,
Wei Chigong washed his mind and changed his face
, no more low-level mistakes. At the same time, after the previous events, I also clearly realized the dangers of imperial power, so
Away from the temples
He does not deal with Korean and Chinese officials, and entertains himself at home when he is free.
Even
Li Shimin wanted to give him the princess
, all of which he took
The wife of the chaff refuses on the grounds that she cannot abandon it
It can be seen that Wei Chigong's consciousness is still very high. Because he has everything he deserves,
There is no need to climb the relationship
Therefore, I don't want to have contact with the royal family, not only to avoid right and wrong, but also not to use
Get involved in a power struggle
medium, resulting
Set yourself on fire
Wei Chigong is to be interesting and loyal, strictly abide by his duties, do not do what should not be done, not just refuse to marry, in order to enjoy the old age and end his life.
