In the early days of the tang dynasty, after experiencing a sensational event, Li Shimin launched a more famous change in history in Chang'an City, that is, the Xuanwumen Great Change, in the struggle against the Sui Dynasty, the Li brothers got along more harmoniously, and the cooperation during the battle was tacit understanding. When the Tang Dynasty was established, Li Jiancheng, the master of the Eastern Palace, knew that his military exploits were not as good as his second brother Li Shimin, and his prestige in the army was also thousands of miles, and his heart was particularly not a taste, worried that the second brother Li Shimin would replace his position, so he had evil intentions, and together with the third brother Li Yuanji, he discussed how to get rid of Li Shimin, repeatedly excluded li Shimin in the court, and privately framed Li Shimin in front of Li Yuan. It wasn't long before Li Yuan also zencotted the throne.
Li Shimin, the King of Qin, had experienced large and small struggles and cultivated extraordinary concentration. Speaking of his most thrilling struggle, it did not take place on the battlefield, but the Xuanwumen Revolution. Why do you say so, in the past, Li Shimin led his troops out to fight, and if there was an unfortunate accident and failure, he could return to Li Yuan's side, but if this Xuanwumen reform failed, there would only be a desperate end. Therefore, in dealing with this change, Li Shimin's close generals all went out, and when the two generals Qin Qiong and Wei Chigong were also involved, where was Qin Qiong when Wei Chigong was fighting at Xuanwu Gate.
Many people have speculated that Qin Qiong, like Li Jing, did not participate in the Xuanwumen reform, but what was the basis for this. Is it only based on his last status among the 24 heroes, or is it that when Li Shimin needs him most to stand up, he has not been able to bear the brunt of it like Wei Chigong? In fact, these statements are not very convincing, and they are completely fabricating facts. Qin Qiong naturally participated in the change of Xuanwu Gate, in fact, his responsibility was far greater than that of Wei Chigong, and he did two things, and even more took on two responsibilities, far more than Wei Chigong's role as a pioneer.
According to the historical records, Changsun Wuji, Qin Shubao, Wei Chi Jingde and others were all involved in the struggle of Xuanwumen to remove Li Yuanji and Li Jiancheng, and from this list, Qin Qiong must have participated, so everyone can't help but wonder where Qin Qiong went at this time, in fact, the Xuanwumen reform did not only occur in Xuanwumen, but also existed in three places at the same time, which can be described as well planned.
Li Shimin and the general Wei Chigong led a small number of men and horses to wait near the Linhu Hall, waiting for the target to appear, while waiting for the opportunity to shoot the two passing by, and finally Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji were also killed here. Xuanwu Gate was the place where the fighting was most intense, and Li Jiancheng's men had to break through the Xuanwu Gate before entering if they wanted to rescue it. At this time, the general sitting at Xuanwu Gate was Zhang Gongjin, who was a loyal follower of Li Shimin, and in the process of planning changes in advance, Li Shimin had thought of divination first to predict whether it was auspicious or fierce, and Zhang Gongjin persuaded him that if the ending was not good, would he not launch it, no doubt giving Li Shimin a reassuring pill.
Next is the Qin King's Mansion, it turns out that Qin Qiong is sitting in the Qin King's Mansion, the existence of the base camp must be the top priority, Wei Chigong followed Li Shimin to fight the vanguard, Qin Qiong naturally sat firmly in the base camp, responsible for protecting the rear, and naturally also played a role where needed support to make up for wherever it was needed. It turned out that when the attack on Xuanwu Gate was frustrated, Li Jiancheng's men did indeed attempt to launch an attack on the Qin Dynasty. When the battle at Xuanwu Gate was fierce, Qin Qiong appeared at Xuanwu Gate, and once Li Shimin and Wei Chigong failed, Qin Qiong could lead Li Shimin to retreat or launch a second attack, which could be described as offensive and defensive.
Li Shimin and Wei Chigong laid down their dead hands during the ambush, because the success of this ambush determined the key to the success of this change, and there were not many people around Li Shimin. After learning of the changes in Xuanwu Gate, Li Jiancheng's men and horses quickly gathered at Xuanwu Gate to prepare to break into the city, and by the time Qin Qiong's reinforcements arrived, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji had been successfully removed. The Xuanwumen crisis was thus lifted.
After the crisis was lifted, Wei Chigong dared to intimidate Li Yuan, and after receiving his will, it could be regarded as a real victory for the Xuanwumen reform. Looking at the whole process of the development of the incident, Qin Qiong's performance is very prominent, not only has a certain method in taking care of the rear, but also can stand up in the emergency of the situation, which is the so-called contribution.
