When Li Yuan raised his army, Li Shimin made great achievements. He once promised to conquer the world, but he failed to fulfill his promise.
Li Yuan knew that Li Shimin must be unwilling to give up, so he personally took action to weaken Li Shimin's strength and transferred his generals away from Chang'an.
Because of his guilt towards Li Shimin, he didn't do everything thoroughly, so he gave Li Shimin a chance.
It can be said that the changes in Xuanwu Gate also had a lot to do with him.
But Li Yuan had his concerns. Since ancient times, the succession system has been unclear, causing many turmoils.
Li Jiancheng was the eldest son, and his succession could clarify the inheritance system of the Tang Dynasty.
He didn't feel that he was wrong in this.
Li Jiancheng was as capable as Li Shimin in both literary and military skills. When Li Yuan launched an army in Jinyang, Li Jiancheng was one of the main planners. In the battles against Xihe, Huoyi, Tongguan and Chang'an, Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin fought side by side. After the founding of the Tang Dynasty, Li Jiancheng
He was named the crown prince, but his military career was not over. Li Shimin attacked Wang Shichong, and Li Jiancheng led his troops north to resist the Turks, ensuring that Li Shimin's Tang army could successfully eliminate Wang Shichong. In the battle against Liu Heitai, Li Jiancheng's troops and
Li Shimin fought side by side, and Li Jiancheng also captured Liu Heita's head with his own hands, which greatly boosted the morale of the three armies.
In addition to his excellent martial arts, Li Jiancheng was also good at civil affairs. After the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin led the army to often fight abroad. On the one hand, Li Jiancheng sent troops to cooperate with Li Jiancheng in fighting, and on the other hand, he handled the national affairs of the Tang Dynasty under the leadership of Li Yuan. The Tang Dynasty
Many of the laws and regulations, including the reform of rent-to-yong regulation, were promoted by Li Jiancheng and Li Yuan.
It can be said that Li Jiancheng was an excellent state administrator. Without Li Shimin's intervention, the possibility that the Tang Dynasty would prosper after Li Jiancheng ascended the throne was quite high.
The only thing he did wrong was that he should not feel guilty towards Li Shimin. If he had been more decisive, the Xuanwu Sect incident would not have happened.
In fact, at first, he did hate Li Shimin for killing Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, but he soon figured it out.
Now that we have taken over the world, even if this kind of thing does not happen now, it may happen in future generations.
Having no relatives in the Tian family may be the price of having the world.
He is still unwilling to forgive Li Shimin, and it has nothing to do with Li Shimin killing his brother and imprisoning his father.
What he hated was that Li Shimin had given future generations a bad start.
He already had a premonition that the succession to the throne after the Tang Dynasty would be full of bloodshed.
Li Yuan's premonition was indeed correct. Xuanwumen had a great negative impact on the succession of the Tang Dynasty. In the more than 100 years after the Xuanwumen incident, the succession of the Tang Dynasty successively involved Li Chengqian's attempted coup, Li Yuanjing and
There were a series of palace coups including Li Ke's attempted coup, Shenlong coup, Jinglong coup, Tang Long coup and Xiantian coup.
The means of this series of coups were insidious and vicious, and the contradictions were crisscrossed. The occurrence of successive coups made it impossible for the succession of the throne to proceed normally, and brought serious internal strife to the central government of the Tang Dynasty.
Historically, Zhu Di also succeeded to the throne through mutiny, but Zhu Di launched the mutiny openly and openly, so it did not have any negative impact on the Ming Dynasty.
On the contrary, because Zhu Di was very courageous in fighting foreign races and never compromised.
He set an example for future generations. The emperors who followed him were all kinds of weird and wonderful, but they never compromised when it came to fighting against foreigners.
Later generations' evaluation of the Ming Dynasty: "No marriage, no indemnity, no land cession, no tribute. The emperor will guard the country, and the king will die."
The Ming Dynasty was not the longest dynasty in history, nor was it the strongest, but it was the most courageous dynasty in history.
All this can be said to be influenced by Zhu Di.
But the Xuanwumen incident was more of a palace incident than a mutiny.
Li Shimin's behavior gave future generations a lesson.
Is it important to be a prince?
It can be said that both of them mutinied and became emperor, but they had different impacts on future generations.
In fact, Li Shimin could have raised his troops upright and conquered the world just like Zhu Di.
Although his generals were all transferred out of Chang'an, they still held a lot of military power. Coupled with his prestige in the army, even if Li Jiancheng succeeded to the throne, he would have a high chance of taking over the world.
But Li Shimin chose a seemingly risky approach.
This method seems very risky, but it is very fast.
Li Shimin's face was gloomy, of course he knew what Li Yuan said.
In order to prevent this kind of influence, he immediately made eight-year-old Li Chengqian the crown prince after he ascended the throne.
He just wanted to eliminate the influence in this way.
Li Shimin suddenly thought of his son, Li Tai, whom he doted on because of his physical condition.
But when it comes to his favorite son, Li Shimin’s favorite is indeed Li Ke.
Li Ke was very similar to him in every aspect, but for the sake of stability in the future of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin had no idea of Yichu.
At this moment, Li Shimin somewhat understood what Li Yuan had done.
Perhaps his father liked him the most back then, but due to various concerns, he did not make him the prince.
At the same time, Li Shimin thought of Li Chengqian. He had always felt that Li Chengqian was too petty and could not tolerate his brothers.
Perhaps it was precisely because of what he did that made Li Chengqian feel insecure, and his love for Li Tai made him feel in danger.
Li Shimin felt a lot at this moment.
However, he does not regret it. If he had not launched the Xuanwu Sect Change, in the situation like that, if he had not taken action, his strength would have been completely weakened.
When Li Jiancheng succeeded to the throne, he would have no power to fight back.
He didn't think Li Jiancheng would talk about brotherhood with him.
Empress Changsun changed the subject and said: "Father, that child at Zichu, although his temper is a little out of control, he is still a good person. The important thing is that he also likes the beauty."
Li Yuan nodded and said: "As parents, you can just take care of these things. It's not under my control, and I can't control it."
Li Shimin was unwilling to come to see Li Yuan for this reason.
As long as Li Yuan talks, he will carry a gun and a stick.
At this moment, Li Mu led two people and walked in carrying a box.
"Your Majesty, this is one thousand taels of gold." Li Mu said.
Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "Give some to the queen and Li Zheng."
Li Mu nodded and began to divide the gold.
"Huh!" Li Yuan snorted coldly.
What's wrong?
Li Shimin was a little confused.
Empress Changsun said: "Li Mu still has his father."
Li Shimin was a little speechless. It turned out that he blamed me for not giving it to you. What the hell, the money is all mine, so what’s the point?
But seeing Li Yuan's face, Li Shimin nodded knowingly.
Li Mu divided the gold into four parts and placed them next to the four people.
Empress Changsun smiled and said: "Father, let's get started."
Li Yuan nodded and said, "Choose the banker again."
Li Shimin had nothing to do with Li Yuan's rogue behavior.
The banker was chosen again and Li Lizhi was chosen. This time Li Yuan didn't say anything.
Li Lizhi threw the dice and started to draw cards.
After the four of them drew the cards, they began to play in a similar manner.
Because it was the first time to play, the game was very slow at first, but the four of us became proficient after playing a few games.
Mahjong is very addictive, especially for novices.
Li Yuan and others didn't notice the passage of time at all. It wasn't until Li Mu came over to remind them that it was time to eat that the four of them realized that it was already dark.
