Idioms and allusions

In the ninth year of Zhenguan, Emperor Taizong called his courtiers and said, "in the past, when the capital was leveled at the beginning, the beauties in the palace were treasured, and there was no court dissatisfied. Yang (Y á ng) Emperor's intention was not enough. He had no choice but to ask for help. He also pursued the East and the west, and engaged in militarism (Qi ó NGB ī NGD ú w ǔ). The people could not bear it, so they died. I can see that. So I worked hard all day and night, but I wanted to be clean and make the world free, so I got the corvee (Y á oy ì), and the people were happy. A man running a country is like planting a tree. If his root does not shake, his branches and leaves will flourish. Why do the people feel uneasy and happy when you can be quiet? " In the ninth year of Zhenguan (the year of Li Shimin), Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty said to the bodyguard: "before (Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty) when the capital was just pacified, there was no beautiful antique in the palace that was not satisfied in the courtyard. However, Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty was still unsatisfied. He constantly asked for help. At the same time, he went to the East and the west, and abused military force. The common people could not bear it, which led to the destruction of the Sui Dynasty. I (the emperor claimed to have) witnessed all these things with my own eyes, so I am diligent day and night, hoping only to be innocent and wise, and make the world peaceful. Only in this way can military service not prevail, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. Governing a country is like planting a tree. Only when the root of the tree does not swing can the branches and leaves flourish. The monarch is wise. Why can't the people be happy? "
