Li Yuan had 4 sons, and by connecting their names, he found that Li Yuan's ambitions were indeed not small
In the history of our country for thousands of years, it has experienced many dynasties, although the time of each dynasty is different, and the merits of the characters in the dynasty are also different, but it is precisely because of these existence that the prosperous history of our country has been created. Speaking of the prosperous historical dynasties in ancient China, I believe that most people will think of the First Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty has a very important position in the history of our country, the peak of the Tang Dynasty will directly push our country to the peak of the world, we all know that the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty is Li Yuan, he raised an army to attack the Sui Dynasty, after capturing Chang'an, established the Tang Dynasty, so that our country embarked on a very strong era. Among the many founding emperors, their exploits will be recorded in the history books, and then passed on to future generations, the most famous of the many founding emperors is the founding emperor Zhu Yuanzhang in the Ming Dynasty, his life is called a legendary life, became a famous emperor for thousands of years, about his historical story, until now has also been praised by people.
Every dynasty will have a founding emperor, but compared with Zhu Yuanzhang, Li Yuan is very ordinary, is the truth of the facts really like this? As the founder of the prosperous tang dynasty, the evaluation of Li Yuan in history is not recorded, but for Li Shimin, who later inherited the throne, he gave a very strong praise, and even can be known in some historical materials. The main reason why Li Yuan was able to create the Tang Dynasty was not because of his great talent, and the main reason why he was able to achieve such excellent achievements was because of Li Shimin, and it was precisely because Li Shimin made many military achievements on the battlefield that the Tang Dynasty was established. After Li Shimin became emperor, he began to vigorously publicize the merits he had done, and even said that Li Yuan was useless at all costs, the reason why he did this was to cover up his improper means of seizing the throne, although he did not justify Li Yuan's name in later history, but in any case, Li Yuan was indeed a very good governing talent.
Although Li Yuan looks very ordinary on the surface, in fact, he is a very intelligent person, he is the main planner of the Taiyuan rebellion, and he has very big ambitions, for the rebellion, he has made a long plan, I don't know if you have found that the names of his 4 sons have a very special meaning, and the names of his 4 sons can be exposed. Perhaps this was providence in the darkness, or perhaps he had already thought of a rebellion, and the names of his 4 sons also foreshadowed the whole process of his later real rebellion and the establishment of the Tang Dynasty.
Li Yuan's eldest son's name is Li Jiancheng, built with meritorious achievements, and finally has the meaning of success, rebellion symbolizes to go through countless wars, there will be defeat, from the name of his eldest son, it can be seen that he wants to let himself win in the war, but the result is really like this, in many wars, he has continuously achieved success, and finally the Chang'an was successfully attacked, and the Tang Dynasty was established, so it can be seen that this name still has a very deep meaning.
Li Yuan's second son is Li Shimin, this name also has a certain special meaning, Li Yuan after sitting on the throne of the emperor, established the Tang Dynasty, he began to cultivate and govern the country, because after all, after several years of war, all kinds of wastes are prosperous, so he wants to actively improve the lives of the people, hoping that he has a better reputation in the hearts of the people, and he also further establishes good relations with various princes, so that the Tang Dynasty can be quickly stabilized. In order to show that he was a Ming Emperor, he abolished all the violent regimes of the Sui Dynasty, and in the end he really achieved Ji Shi'anmin, which also fully reflected the name of Li Shimin. Li Yuan's third son was named Li Xuanba, known in history as Li Yuanba, and the first name also fully demonstrated his ambitions, indicating that in the near future he would have a war with the Sui Emperor, Li Xuanba was born more powerful, and in the future he will certainly become an excellent general and continue to help Li Yuan attack the world, but unfortunately he did not have time to make meritorious achievements, and he lost his life.
Li Shimin's fourth son was named Li Yuanji, and he had a very good relationship with Li Jiancheng, so that he later became an enemy with Li Shimin, but in the beginning, the relationship between the brothers was still relatively friendly, because there was no competition for interests at that time, and the brothers united together to help his father win the world. The two words Yuan Ji represent Li Yuan's pride in conquering the world, especially the word Yuan, which has the meaning of the head of state, in ancient times, the emperor's clothes were called yuan clothes, which also means that he is likely to wear the emperor's clothes in the future, which symbolizes that he hopes that he can come to the world in the future, but his ending is not very good, because he is an enemy of Li Shimin, so he was finally brutally executed, and even his wife was also admitted to the harem by Li Shimin.
But from the perspective of justice, Li Yuan can also be regarded as a mingjun of the ages, and his life can also be called a legendary life, he relied on his own efforts to establish the Tang Dynasty, and also had a very good ability to govern the country. According to the reason, future generations should also praise him, but because Li Shimin's succession has been smeared for so long, people feel very sorry.
In the history of the Tang Dynasty, the most recorded is Li Shimin, how excellent, and for Li Yuan, Li Jiancheng, Li Yuanji, there are not too many records, this may be because of Li Shimin's political considerations, because after all, he was the ruler at that time, and part of the historical record was also subject to the ruler, which is more realistic. In fact, Li Yuan did not do as inaction as historically said, and a scholar once said that he felt that Li Yuan must be hiding his talents, otherwise, how could he succeed when he later rebelled against the world? Of course, Li Shimin is also a very talented person, fighting for supremacy in the world on the battlefield, otherwise he would not have covered the light inside, so that when people mention the Tang Dynasty now, the first thing that comes to mind is Li Shimin, not Li Yuan, the founding emperor. What do you think differently about this? We look forward to your wonderful message.
