At the end of the Sui Dynasty, the world was in chaos, and At this time, Li Yuan raised an army in Taiyuan. Since then, Li Yuan has opened the road of conquest. It is undeniable that in the process of Li Yuan's conquest of the world, Li Shimin was an indispensable military general. The Tang Dynasty can be established, and Li Shimin is a meritorious person. From this point of view, Li Shimin's merits are even greater than Li Yuan's.
After Li Yuan established the Tang Dynasty, he began to discuss the reward of merits and deeds. At this time, Li Yuan's eldest son Li Jiancheng was made crown prince, and his second son Li Shimin was made the King of Qin. At this time, the contradiction between Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin had already begun. After all, the crown prince already felt li shimin's threat to him. This laid hidden dangers for the subsequent change of Xuanwu Gate.
In the process of the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, the Li clan relatives made great efforts. Li Yuan had three older brothers, namely Li Cheng, Li Zhan, and Li Hong. It's just that the lives of these three people are not good, and they all died in front of Li Yuan. The eldest and third elders did not leave any heirs, only the second eldest Li Zhan's bloodline still existed. In terms of blood, these two were Li Yuan's nephews.
In this way, Li Yuan's relationship with the two nephews is very close. However, what is difficult to understand is that Li Yuan's two nephews, Li Boqi and Li Fengci, are very unpopular with Li Yuan. You can see it from one point. Li Yuan's cousins and cousins both had military power, so Li Boqi and Li Fengci did not have military power.
This is hard to understand. After Li Yuan raised an army, li clan relatives all contributed. Many people have made meritorious achievements, which does not include Li Boqi and Li Fengci. The reason is that the two have no military power at all, so in comparison, Li Yuan's cousins and cousins have military power, such as Li Xiaogong, Li Daozong, the sons of cousins, who have been granted military power.
There must be a reason why Li Yuan did this, that is, Li Boqi and Li Fengci really did not argue. Li Yuan's other brothers were all meritorious, but Li Boqi and Li Fengci were very indisputable and were not able to contribute to the establishment of the Tang Dynasty at all. Throughout the lives of Li Boqi and Li Fengci, both were unknown, even in the time of Li Shimin.
Li Boqi and Li Fengcisheng were born in a chaotic world, and under such circumstances, the two should be mainly engaged in martial arts, after all, in the chaotic world, war is indispensable. But the pattern of the two is definitely not right. At that time, neither Li Boqi nor Li Fengci chose to follow the martial arts. In other words, the two chose Congwen and did not practice martial arts at all.
Li Boqi and Li Fengci's idea at that time was that they were already so powerful, so why should I learn martial arts? It's better to enjoy it. At this time, the Tang Dynasty had not yet been established, but Li Yuan's power had been expanding. Comparatively speaking, the general trend of the world has stabilized. It's just that there is no great unification.
Nowadays, it seems that Li Boqi and Li Fengci are still very smart. The reason is that in the process of the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, Li Boqi and Li Fengci did not contribute, and secondly, it was someone else's business to make meritorious achievements. Even if they can't make meritorious achievements, Li Boqi and Li Fengci will not be in any danger. On the contrary, it has a lot of merit, which will lead to "the bird is exhausted, the good bow is hidden; the cunning rabbit dies, and the lackey cooks." " ending.
Li Boli and Li Fengci realized what to do, so they made a sound of dogs and horses, never caring about major state affairs. As Li Yuan's nephew, Li Yuan must have treated the two of them very well. After all, this is the blood of the elder brother, and from the perspective of blood, the relationship between the two and Li Yuan is also very close. Their lives are rotten and decaying, but they are both fully law-abiding citizens.
For Li Boli and Li Fengci, the most important thing is not to make meritorious contributions to the Tang Dynasty, but to enjoy life. Li Boqi and Li Fengci, who did not participate in the political struggle, never made meritorious achievements, let alone made a big mistake. From this point of view, the two avoided the competition to participate in the Xuanwumen Revolution. If you participate in the change of Xuanwu Gate, I am afraid that the end will be difficult to say.
Li Yuan's army entered Chang'an, and the Li clan relatives at that time, including Li Xiaogong, Li Daozong and other descendants of the Li family, fought on the battlefield and fought in blood. At this time, Li Boqi and Li Fengci had no idea of making meritorious achievements at all. When it came to the change of Xuanwu Gate, Li Boqi and Li Fengci were also hanging high without concern. In the end, Li Boqi and Li Fengci were able to die well.
It can be said that the peace and tranquility of both of them are exchanged for "arrogance and lasciviousness", if there is no heart of "not caring about oneself and hanging high", in the case of meritorious service, Li Boqi and Li Fengci may not be able to end well. During the reign of Emperor Gaozong of Tang, Li Boqi and Li Fengci Xianheng died in the second year. Both are very long-lived.
