Li Yuan warned Li Shimin that he was not allowed to kill this person, Li Shimin: Good father, turn around and kill
Everyone should have heard many stories of the struggle for the throne in history, and every ambitious man wants to dominate the world, not to mention the princes who are still qualified to inherit the throne. However, there is only one throne, and there are many women who give birth to children for the emperor in the harem, and there are naturally many princes of the emperor, but not every prince has the opportunity to inherit the throne.
It is reasonable to say that the throne should be passed on to the head or pass on the sage, in order to avoid the struggle of other princes, the emperor neutralized the position of a prince in the crown prince, which is the best candidate for the next emperor. Therefore, the position of prince has also become the meat on the plate that is coveted by other princes. Today we will tell a story related to Li Shimin during the Tang Dynasty. Before li yuan died, he told his future heir Li Shimin that he should never kill a person. Li Shimin replied: Good father. But he turned around and killed the man.
This person is Li Shimin, the Tang Taizong who created the Tang Dynasty's "Rule of Zhenguan", in fact, Li Shimin still has his own reasons for doing so, but he really wants to distinguish who is right and who is wrong. That has a lot to do with his father Li Yuan! Li Yuan was the first emperor of the Tang Dynasty, but he did not have much ability, and when he became emperor, he did not bring much benefit to the people!
What Li Yuan should be most thankful for is that he has such a smart son as Li Shimin! The personality of Li Shimin and his father Li Yuan is completely different, it can be said that Li Yuan is a timid person, doing everything is to look ahead and look back, always undecided! But his son is different, Li Shimin is a very strategic and far-sighted person!
With the assistance of Li Shimin, Li Yuan rose to prominence and eventually became the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty. And Li Shimin has been working hard to help his father fight the country and sit firmly on the throne. When Jinyang rebelled, Li Yuan promised Li Shimin that he would later be made crown prince. But I didn't expect that there was an unexpected storm in the sky, not to mention that it was a casual change of what was said in the morning.
Li Shimin's position as crown prince was remembered by his two brothers, so Li Shimin was calculated, and Li Jiancheng smoothly made Li Yuan the crown prince. Li Shimin was very angry about this matter, since he could not get the position of prince, he would snatch it back, so there was a tragic case of bloody brothers on xuanwu gate. Later, when Li Yuan was dying, he said a last word to Li Shimin, that is, he would not let him kill the descendants of his two brothers, and Li Shimin directly agreed, but after his death, Li Shimin killed all their children, after all, for Li Shimin, their children are a hidden danger.
Li Shimin is not only a meritorious suggestion, in addition, he is also a brave and fierce general in the southern conquest and the northern war, and his Qin royal palace talents are abundant, such as Wei Chigong, Qin Qiong, Luo Cheng, etc., are rare in the world, when Li Yuan saw that Li Shimin was so fierce, in order to maintain his enthusiasm, he promised him that if he laid the Jiangshan, the future throne would be his, Li Shimin was really happy in his heart, fighting more desperately, after all, he also fought for himself, the result, Who knew that his father actually wrote a blank check to him, and after the unification of the world, he actually set up his brother Li Jian and became the prince, which was really angry with me!
Perhaps many people will say that Li Shimin is a very cruel emperor, in fact, this is the struggle for imperial power, in front of the imperial throne, brothers may turn their faces, not to mention that Li Shimin and his nephew are still separated by a generation, so Li Shimin also did this to prevent trouble, who let them be born in the imperial family! Before Li Yuan died, he warned Li Shimin that this person could not be killed, and as a result, Li Shimin turned around and killed him. Those who have their own views can leave a message at the bottom of the article.
So the Xuanwumen coup d'état also happened, his father was still acquainted, immediately abdicated the throne, gave up his throne, and died not long after, before his death, Li Shiming came to his bedside, Li Yuan seemed to return to the light, and said: You have killed all your brothers, can you spare their descendants? The deceased was the eldest, and Li Shimin agreed without even thinking about it, saying; Good Dad. As a result, Li Yuan had just passed away, and it wasn't long before Li Shimin found a reason to kill all the descendants of his brothers in order to ensure the long-term peace and stability of his rule.
