Li Yuan was a man of extraordinary ability, and with the strength of his ancestors, he successively served as a Taishou in Xingyang and Loufu counties, and slowly became the central system of the imperial court from the grassroots level.
Li Yuan was a person who was free and tolerant, and he could make a group of good friends wherever he went, so he laid a lot of foundation for him in the early days of the founding of the country.
When Emperor Wen of Sui destroyed Chen Guo, it was precisely with Li Yuan's help that he could go so smoothly. However, during the Sui Dynasty Emperor's time, Li Yuan was suspected by the Sui Emperor Yang Guang because he stood in the wrong line and was once the crown prince Yang Yong.
In this case. Li Yuan was punished for this, and in order to save his life, he had to come to Taiyuan to develop, where he secretly formed his own forces.
By the end of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Guang had become cruel and unkind, as the saying goes, where there was oppression, there was resistance, and the people in the world were in chaos, and Li Yuan and his gang also had such thoughts.
Pei Huan and others talked to Li Yuan, he said that it was better for us to rebel, Li Shimin was also on the side to persuade his father to revolt, but Li Yuan did not want to, repeatedly persuaded everyone, and even said to his son: "Rebellion is to kill the head."
It is not difficult to see from this sentence that Li Yuan actually did not want to rebel and was loyal to the Sui Dynasty, but was this really the case? Didn't Li Yuan ever want to be emperor? With his power, is there no ambition?
To tell the truth, he thought more than anyone, and his ambition was not small at all, as can be seen from the names he gave his four sons.
Li Yuan had four sons in his lifetime, named Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin, Li Xuanba, and Li Yuanji, and from the name alone, he did not find any connection.
However, after analysis, it was found that Li Yuan's ambitions were hidden in it, and first looking at Li Jiancheng, from the surface, it was the meaning of "establishing meritorious achievements and achieving a great cause", and it was also Li Yuan's sustenance and expectation for his son.
The name Li Shimin actually has a story, when he was born, he met an old Taoist monk, saw Li Shimin said that this person is extraordinary, and has the appearance of an emperor, and then Li Yuan named Li Shimin, and has the meaning of "Ji Shi AnMin".
The third son, Li Xuanba, is very domineering from the name, and "hegemony" means dominating the world.
The youngest Li Yuanji, in the ancient books, "Yuan" has the meaning of "starting from zero", not only hoping that he can be auspicious, the wind and rain are smooth, etc., the meaning is not simple.
From the names of the four people, it is not difficult to see that what Li Yuan wants is to achieve a great cause, and after Li Yuan talks with his son, on the surface, Li Yuan does not want to rebel, but in fact, secretly he is doing things that make people surprised.
After Yang Guang lost the hearts of the people, Li Yuan began to look at the time to recruit troops and horses, and to win over the power, in a short period of time to set up a huge force, waiting for the opportunity to launch an attack.
Unsurprisingly, in the 13th year of Daye, Li Yuan could no longer disguise himself, and took advantage of his lack of preparation to directly send 30,000 troops to occupy Chang'an City.
Li Yuan's ambitions have since been exposed, and it is not difficult to see from this uprising that Li Yuan is a thoughtful person, and he cannot make any moves before he is sure, even if he himself can see it.
As long as the overall situation has been decided, Li Yuan has a full grasp, at this time he will no longer hesitate, and directly launched an onslaught, Li Yuan forced Yang You to take the throne.
After that, Li Tang replaced the Sui Dynasty, which was not enough, and after success, Li Yuan defeated Wang Shichong, Liu Heimin, Dou Jiande and others, so there was a great unification of the Central Plains, which laid a stable foundation for the "Sheng Tang".
As the saying goes, the tiger father has no dogs, and under the father's teaching, these sons are all ambitious people, and none of them make Li Yuan worry.
Therefore, the "Xuanwumen Change" of brothers, Li Yuanji and Li Shimin, and the regime here changed hands again, which was a sad thing for Li Yuan's life and the biggest psychological shadow of Li Shimin
When his son seized the power, Li Yuan did not have the strength to bind the chicken, so he gave his son Li Shimin the throne, became the Emperor Taishang himself, and ran to the harem to enjoy the blessings.
During Li Yuan's tenure as emperor, Li Yuan left Li Shimin with a problem, because during this time, Li Yuan left more than thirty children, and Li Shimin had a headache in the face of these brothers and sisters.
