The change of Xuanwumen is a famous event in history, this is a dispute over the concubine, behind this matter, how many dark scenes or how many hidden feelings we do not know. However, after the twentieth century, many experts and scholars analyzed the changes in Xuanwumen and found one clue, which at least proved one point: the things recorded in the history books could not be fully believed. So when Li Shimin launched the Xuanwumen Rebellion, why didn't Li Yuan, who was the emperor, send troops to save his own prince?
As Emperor Li Yuan, when Li Shimin launched the Xuanwumen Rebellion, why didn't he send troops to save the crown prince?
Li Yuan had a total of four concubines, three of whom died young, and many people said that his name was Li Yuanba, which was actually changed by Xuan Ye, who avoided Kangxi. The real name in history is Li Xuanba. Li Xuanba is not the first in the world as stated in the speech, and this person does not have much record in history, so there is not much to say.
The rest are the eldest Li Jiancheng, the second li shimin, and the fourth li yuanji, and when Li Yuan raised his army, these three people had their own tasks. The eldest was the hardest, and Li Yuan asked him to recruit soldiers on his own; the fourth was the happiest, and Li Yuan asked him to stay.
The second eldest had the best luck and followed Li Yuan's side. Therefore, when those capable people came to join Li Yuan, they were warmly treated by Li Shimin, and slowly Li Shimin befriended a lot of heroes Haojie.
After the Tang Dynasty was established by Li Yuan, there were still many hostile forces around, and at this time, the fourth elder had become a soy sauce player, fantasizing all day that the eldest and the second were dead, and he would become the emperor in the future. Li Yuan made the boss crown prince and the second son the king of Qin, and then the boss followed Li Yuan to Chang'an City, helped Li Yuan manage the Tang Dynasty, and provided Li Shimin with logistics and supplies, so that Li Shimin could earn military merit outside with peace of mind.
Later, Li Shimin was given the title of General of Tiance and also had the Tiance Mansion, which could recruit staff. The status of General Tiance was above the kings, second only to the emperor and the crown prince, that is to say, the second and fourth elders were originally princes of equal rank, but after Li Shimin was crowned, the fourth elder saw him and saluted. This made the fourth elder very dissatisfied, and decided to join hands with the boss to clean up Li Shimin.
As Li Shimin's power grew stronger and stronger, and many people in the court sided with Li Shimin, Li Yuan decided to suppress Li Shimin, after all, he was only a prince, and there was a prince above. The limelight was exhausted by wang ye, and in the future, where would the crown prince have any prestige when he became emperor, so Li Jianhua joined forces with Li Yuanji and Li Yuan to deal with Li Shimin.
Li Shimin was very sad, his brother and brother dealt with him, and now even his father had to deal with him, Li Shimin was helpless, but at the same time he also made a decision, so don't blame me for being cruel.
Li Shimin's approach was very simple, sending his henchmen to Luoyang, and Luoyang's position in the Sui Dynasty and Tang Dynasty was very important, which was equivalent to the second capital. After Li Shimin sent his own people over, he also spent a lot of money to bribe the palace guards, Li Jiancheng was bribing Li Yuan's wife, and Li Shimin came to bribe Li Yuan's bodyguards. The struggle between the brothers has cheapened these outsiders.
Let's go on to talk about xuanwu gate, this place is the gate of Li Yuan's palace, and next door is the prince's East Palace. Why did Li Shimin block the Xuanwu Gate instead of going directly to the prince to settle the account? This is a question worth pondering, so much so that some people say that the Xuanwumen revolution launched by Li Shimin is fundamentally aimed at Li Yuan, and Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji are only carrying a solution.
A palace coup began at Xuanwumen.
Li Shimin led Wei Chigong and others to ambush here, and wrote a letter to Li Yuan, saying that Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji had an affair with the women in the harem, and Li Yuan was very angry, so he ordered Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji to come and explain clearly. After the people sent by Li Yuan left, a person came in, this person was Gao Shilian, he came to li yuan for tea, but he was fully armed.
When Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji came to Xuanwu Gate in a furious manner, Li Shimin shot Li Jiancheng with an arrow, Li Yuanji saw it and fled, and after being chased by Li Shimin, he could not bear to kill Li Yuanji, and as a result, he was almost killed by Li Yuanji, and the lieutenant Chi Gong who followed up directly gave Li Yuanji the result without saying a word. In this way, only one of the original three concubines was left, and this person was Li Shimin.
When the movement of Xuanwu Gate reached Li Yuan's ears, he called out to the guards, but no one paid attention to him, and Gao Shilian said to Li Yuan: Since there is only one left, why not make him the crown prince! Li Yuan looked at Gao Shilian in front of him and Wei Chigong, who had just walked in, and he knew that after tonight, the Tang Dynasty would no longer be his.
Li Yuan was not false as emperor, but he would not think that his son was worse than him, nor would he think that Li Shimin had already bribed all the people who should be bribed. He wanted to save his prince, but unfortunately there was no one around the emperor, and from this point of view, Li Shimin was still smarter than Li Jiancheng.
In fact, Li Shimin also had two hands to prepare for launching the Xuanwumen Rebellion, and if he did not succeed, he would flee to Luoyang and fight the territory. I think that at that time, no one could stop those fierce generals around Li Shimin, but in that case, the world would be in chaos again, and it was the people who were suffering, as the poem said: "Prosperity, the people suffer; death, the people suffer." ”
