Historically, the Tang Dynasty was a dynasty with a lot of stories. During this period, there was also a well-known good emperor, that is, Tang Taizong Li Shimin. He was evaluated as "the world on the horse, the world on the horse, the world on the horse." Indeed, during his reign, the Tang Dynasty was prosperous.
In the past few years, a "Biography of Sui and Tang Heroes" has entered people's horizons, and it is also based on the various stories before Li Shimin ascended the throne as the prototype, and it has been remade into a TV series. In the "Biography of Sui and Tang Heroes", we can see the countless heroes and good men of Wagangzhai, without their help, Li Shimin alone, he could not ascend to the emperor's throne.
But we all know that no emperor's path can be smooth, and Li Shimin is the same. Although he already had great power, it was inevitable that someone would threaten him, and at the same time that Li Shimin had killed many people, he had also given death to a general. However, for the sake of not cutting the grass and removing the roots, a hundred years later, it was precisely the descendants of this general who overthrew the Tang Dynasty. This senior general is none other than Shan Xiongxin.
Mention Shan Xiongxin, I have to say that in the "Sui and Tang Heroes Biography" a magical figure, that is, Xu Maogong, his intelligence is unique among these people, as the three generations of the Tang Dynasty, his life is like a legend. But Shan Xiongxin's fate was very different from his, but Shan Xiongxin went from a no-name to a general, also with the recommendation of Xu Maogong.
In the chaotic period at the end of the Sui Dynasty and the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the people of the whole country dared to be angry but did not dare to speak, and various uprisings sprung up. It was at this time that Zhai Rang established wagang village and set off a wave. Later, Xu Maogong saw that Shan Xiongxin was strong in martial arts and really should not be buried, so he introduced him to Zhai Rang, and he was made a general. Since then, Shan Xiongxin has not lived up to Zhai Rang's expectations, winning many battles against Wang Shichong's troops before and after.
At the same time, li mi has been doing his best for Wagangzhai and has taken many cities. This made Li Mi's status in WagangZhai improve day by day, and he listened to the rumors of the villains, saying that Zhai Rang had the intention of rebellion, and under the temptation of power, Li Mi took the opportunity to kill Zhai Rang.
The good times were not long, Wagangzhai did not have Zhai Rang, and with the strength of Li Mi alone, it was difficult to defeat Wang Shichong's army, so Wagangzhai gradually fell apart. I have to say that Shan Xiongxin's position is indeed what worries Li Shimin, and in the blink of an eye, Shan Xiongxin has turned to Wang Shichong's banner, and Xu Maogong has chosen Li Shimin.
We all know the final outcome, Li Shimin's power is getting stronger and stronger, because when fighting Wang Shichong's army, Shan Xiongxin and Li Shimin are tit-for-tat, the two of them thus formed a beam, and Li Shimin can no longer swallow this breath. Even if Shan Xiongxin returned to surrender to Li Shimin, Li Shimin would not accept him anymore.
However, surprisingly, Li Shimin not only did not accept Shan Xiongxin's kindness to surrender, but also ordered him to be killed in spite of the opposition of the people! At this point, there was no room for redemption, Shan Xiongxin kept his previous promise, ate a piece of Xu Maogong's meat, and then died.
However, Li Shimin only wanted to maintain his own power, and did not give a cruel hand to shan Xiongxin's clan, only killing Shan Xiongxin alone. However, what is unexpected is that the fall of the Tang Dynasty a hundred years later, most of the reasons are also contributed to by the conspiracy of Shan Xiongxin's descendants.
