He Zhizhang had a distinguished reputation. When he retired and returned to his hometown, Emperor Ming of the Tang Dynasty gave him a grand farewell.
When he was about to be sent away (Tang Minghuang) burst into tears and stepped forward to ask He Zhizhang what he wanted.
He Zhizhang said: "I have a boy who has not yet been named. I hope to be honored by your majesty to give him a name, so as to show the glory of my return home."
The emperor said: "Be a good man. There is no truth greater than faith, which means faith. The son of Aiqing should be named Fu."
He Zhizhang thanked the emperor again and accepted the order. After a while, he realized something and said: "Why is the emperor teasing me? The word "Fu" means there is a child under the claw. Why don't you call my son "paw"?"
It can be seen from the naming given by Emperor Ming of Tang Dynasty that the relationship between the emperor and his ministers was harmonious. , the matter of naming and joking is just a pleasure for the monarch and his ministers, nothing else.
