李世民与魏征,千年以来一直被视为明君和诤臣的典范。这诚然符合史实,但李世民和魏征的真实关系,比我们通常想象的更加复杂。在读唐史的时候,不难发现,李世民一听说魏征有不检点地方,就马上派官员去查;我们还不难发现,在魏征死去才6个月, 李世民就下令,解除公主与魏征儿子的婚姻,摧毁魏征墓碑;我们更不难发现,魏征并不是最敢于说话的大臣。 Li Shimin and Wei Zheng have been regarded as examples of Ming Jun and Chen Chen in the past millennia. This is true, but the real relationship between Li Shimin and Wei Zheng is more complicated than we usually think. When reading Tang Shishi, it is not difficult to find that Li Shimin immediately sent officials to investigate if he heard that Wei Zheng had a defect, and it was not difficult to find that only six months after Wei Zheng died, Li Shimin ordered the removal of the princess and Wei Zheng’s son. The marriage destroys Wei Zheng’s tombstone; we find it hard to find that Wei Zheng was not the most daring to speak.
