Detailed explanation-1: -Emperor Tang Taizong (ruled 626-649) was one of the founders of the Tang dynasty. After the Sui dynasty collapsed, many contenders for power emerged. An ambitious nobleman emerged as victor, and founded the Tang dynasty in 618. His second son staged a coup and took power as Emperor Taizong.
Detailed explanation-2: -3) A good leader is open to criticism. Such was Taizong where he would rather read criticism of his governance over hollow flattery that only massages the ego. He would even ask officials be critical and spare not his feelings and point where and when he made mistake.
Detailed explanation-3: -Like the Han dynasty before them, the Tang dynasty was created after the fall of a ruthless leadership. And like the Han before them, the Tang dynasty had their own powerful leader, Emperor Tai-tsung.
