First, Li Yuan's divine operation
The wind arose at the end of Qingping, and so did the change of Xuanwu Gate. And this change of power basically has a characteristic: it will inevitably mix with the concubines in the harem. Isn't that what Yang Guang is all about? Taking the opportunity to visit his seriously ill father, he flirted with Mrs. Chen. It made Yang Jian shout: I was pit by my wife, how can I give the world to such a person?
So Yang Jian was going to draft the edict of the deposed prince, but Yang Guang quickly learned the news - taking advantage of your illness to kill you, he quickly put an end to his father Yang Jian. As for that Lady Chen, Yang Guang naturally smiled at it. [From the Zizhi Tongjian" :( Chen) Lady Ranran: "The prince is rude! Shang Gong, arriving at the bed, said: "How can the beast pay for big things!" Alone and misled me! ”】
Unexpectedly, only 22 years later, in 626 AD, this kind of thing was once again staged during the "Xuanwumen Change" of the Tang Dynasty. However, the matter began with a wave of divine operations by Li Yuan in 621 AD.
This year can be described as a year of great joy and great sorrow for the Tang Dynasty, as well as for Li Yuan, Li Jiancheng, and Li Shimin. First of all, Li Shimin won a great victory, capturing the two kings in one battle, and destroying Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande. Thus Li Shimin's prestige reached its peak.
Some people rejoice and some people are sad, but Li Jiancheng's heart is very bitter. Today's Li Shimin has the potential to crush his prince, how did this come about? That is to say, from the beginning of this year, the battle for the throne between Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin entered a white-hot stage, and the means of both sides were less and less about martial virtue!
But for Li Yuan, Li Shimin's great victory means that Datang is unshakable, and no one can challenge it anymore. Therefore, he also made Li Shimin a general of the Heavenly Strategy, and he also decreed: All the affairs of the Kanto, as long as my family Erlang agrees, there is no need to tell me again. That is, the great power in Luoyang was granted to Li Shimin, and he became the second emperor.
Li Shimin immediately said: This is the trust of the emperor's father in me! However, now Wang Shichong was in the treasury of Luoyang, and all kinds of treasures were piled up. I lacked the talent in this area on hand, and I implored the emperor to approve and send Xiao Yu and Dou Yu to receive these countless treasures. These two people were Li Yuan's trusted confidants, and naturally Li Yuan gladly agreed.
I have to admire that Li Shimin is too sensible. If you can give it to you, you can take it back. Li Shimin fought in front of him, and Li Yuan was equivalent to a "money bag", which made Li Yuan often worry about money. So this is Li Shimin's loyalty: I am no longer sniffing, but also your sweet little cotton jacket, and blocked everyone's mouth in one fell swoop.
Li Yuan was happy that he finally didn't have to live a hard life anymore. He thought so, and the concubines in the harem thought even more so, and began to quarrel: my jewelry is less, her clothes are old, in short, all kinds of pampering. Li Yuan waved a big hand: Don't make trouble, we have money, go to Luoyang my family Erlang and take it casually. Of course, you should use the banner of maintaining stability. [Old Book of Tang:(Li Shimin) At the beginning of Luoyang, Gao Zu sent noble concubines and others to the eastern capital to select palace people and treasury treasures. 】
What is it to be overwhelmed by victory, to see Li Yuan's wave of divine operations. Li Shimin sacrificed the treasure of Luoyang in disguise, in addition to showing loyalty, etc., in fact, there is another layer of meaning, you are the emperor's big brother, and now that you have fought such a big victory, you quickly consider how to reward the soldiers who fought in the bloody battles in the front, we have money!
But Li Yuan was good, and let a group of concubines in his harem run to pick peaches. What do you ask Li Shimin and other soldiers ahead to think? What do you think?
Therefore, it is no wonder that soon liu Heimin's rebellion broke out, beating the entire Tang army to collapse, and even the famous general Li Ji was completely destroyed -- not that the Tang generals could not fight, but they were all blown up by Li Yuan's operation and did not want to fight!
Second, Li Shimin was mad
In the face of such a large wave of fathers and concubines to comfort, what should Li Shimin do? He couldn't do it either! Each one was like a wolf, and the plane was eager to hollow out the treasure of Luoyang. At the same time, there were many concubines, who not only wanted treasures, but also openly asked Li Shimin for officials and land for his relatives. Among them, the most cheerful were Li Yuan's two favorite concubines: Zhang Jieyu and Yin Defei.
Li Shimin was mad in the face of this group of old fathers and concubines who were much bigger than himself, and they were all mad: "I'm sorry, the national treasury has been sealed, the accounts have been verified, and it is reported to the emperor that he can no longer move." As for the official position and the land, aunts and grandmothers, let's go back to it. ”
Turning around, Li Shimin hurriedly rewarded his subordinates, otherwise it would really be too late. For example, Li Shentong, who made great contributions, Li Shimin sealed his fertile land for dozens of hectares. Li Yuan's concubines were not happy--it was the emperor who made us come, do you dare to listen to the emperor?) Walk and see, give you a good look!
And Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji immediately sniffed out the opportunity, well, Li Erlang offended his father's concubines, we still hesitate, go up, quickly bribe them. As a result, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji were all kinds of flattery, especially for Zhang Jieyu and Yin Defei.
At this moment, Li Yuan's harem became Li Jiancheng's ally. When there was nothing to do, he blew the pillow side wind to Li Yuan, and the general meaning was: the king of Qin was bad, the prince was good, Erlang was ambitious, and Dalang was loyal. Li Yuan's ear roots were originally soft, and when he was blown like this, he looked at Li Shimin more and more unpleasantly.
It is said that on this day, after Zhang Jieyu served Li Yuan comfortably, she began to coddle and asked Li Yuan for dozens of acres of good land, but what she asked for was the land that Li Shimin had given to Li Shentong. Li Yuan didn't even think about it: Aifei wanted to take it, and it was accurate!
Li Shentong did not do it, according to the rules of the Tang Dynasty: the emperor's edict, the prince's order, the Qin king's teaching, which one will implement that first. It was Li Shimin's "teaching order" that came first, so why should I give it to you! Don't give!
Zhang Jieyu will not care about this set, find Li Yuanyi crying, making trouble and hanging himself: You are the emperor, not the Erlang of your family, he bullied me is bullying you, he is more and more like Yang Guang of the former dynasty!
Li Yuan immediately sneaked up on Li Shimin and scolded him: Are you still not my son? Or am I not the King of Great Tang and Qin, and do you still recognize my father, my emperor?
Li Shimin's resignation: Datang has three orders, which one will be done according to which first, these are all your own will, the consequences, what is the matter with me? But who made Li Yuan his father, the emperor? Li Shimin could only bow his head and admit his mistake, understanding that someone in the harem was causing trouble.
This matter is obviously strange, there are many lands in datang, why is Zhang Jieyu not robbing Li Shentong? Now the author can only speculate based on historical data: it should be the result of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji's tinkering behind the scenes, and through this matter, Li Shimin was suppressed! Because the beneficiaries of this matter are only Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji!
Sure enough, Li Yuan began to express his dissatisfaction with Li Shimin, and when drinking with Pei Ning, he said: My family Erlang was obviously damaged by the group of people around him.
As soon as the words fell, Li Shimin's confidant Du Ruyi, when riding through the door of Yin Defei's father's mansion, because he did not get off the horse, a group of people rushed out from inside, and without asking qinghong, it was a fat beating, and one of Du Ruqian's fingers was broken. How could Li Shimin swallow this breath, and he was going to fight back with people.
At this moment, Li Yuan asked Li Shimin to come to see him immediately. As soon as they met, they scolded with their heads covered: Your subordinate Du Ruyi, a person ran to the door of my beloved concubine Yin Defei's house and arrogantly provoked more than a dozen people, who gave him the guts!
Li Shimin was mad -- it was Du Ruyi, not Wei Chi Laohei, how could he single out a dozen big boys and girls with a weak book? This matter is naturally a trick behind Yin Defei's back, and Li Shimin has suffered a dumb loss!
Since then, Li Shimin has grown a heart eye, and when he saw Li Yuan, he cried at his old mother Dou Shi (Li Yuan's original match, li Jiancheng, Li Shimin, and Li Yuanji's birth mother, who has passed away). If Li Yuan was annoyed, he was in no mood to scold him anymore.
Third, the prince seduces you to love the concubine
Thanks to this moment, Liu Heimin swept through Hebei. Li Yuan changed his face and said: Speaking of going, it is still the most intimate of my family's Erlang, go to you, and beat Liu Heimin for his father. Li Shimin was also relieved, this period of time was made up by the concubines in Li Yuan's harem, and there was no one left--the eldest brother of the prince, a good means!
As a result, the contradiction between Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng involved the concubines of Li Yuan's harem. In order to crack it, Li Shimin often let his wife, Empress Eldest Sun, go into the palace to visit his father without a problem - of course, the main purpose is to grasp the situation and bribe the people of the harem, can not be so passive, really scared!
In 626 AD, Li Shimin was finally about to have a showdown. But how can We get Li Yuan, Li Jiancheng, and Li Yuan all in one net—no, they can control them together? The best thing to do is to get them together.
Therefore, Li Shimin decided to exchange his human way for his human body. On June 3, Li Shimin rushed to see Li Yuan in a panic, raised his hand and dropped a bombshell: Dad, things are not good, the prince seduced your concubine! There is also Li Yuanji, who is also unclear with your beloved concubine.
Li Yuan was shocked: There are many old concubines, which two do you mean? Li Shimin: It is Zhang Jieyu and Yin Defei. And they also colluded to assassinate the king!
Li Yuan was blinded, believed, or unbelieved? Don't care so much, face to face to face to figure out! So Li Yuan ordered: Xuan Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji entered the palace tomorrow and confronted Li Shimin face to face! Whoever dares to fool me will cut me!
Li Shimin was secretly happy, I want this result. Sure enough, Dad's concubine can play a big role.
After Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji heard about the situation, they were also very confused, and dad was confused? Now that Li Jiancheng has crushed Li Shimin, he is most looking forward to the calm of the wind and waves, only Li Shimin, who is at a disadvantage, wants to muddy the waters, how can we still make a fuss and engage your father and your concubine?
Li Yuanji was very alert, saying: There must be something wrong with this matter, or it is better to be careful, you say that the illness will not go!
Li Jiancheng shook his head: Does The father dare to listen to the emperor's will? The more he didn't listen, the more suspicious dad became, and the more unclear he became. Must be!
In the early morning of June 4, when Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji entered the Xuanwu Gate, the more they walked, the more they felt that something was wrong, and at this moment, Li Shimin appeared in a military uniform, surrounded by a murderous Wei Chigong...
In this way, the change of Xuanwu Gate began, Li Jiancheng was shot by Li Shimin with an arrow, Li Yuanji was killed by Wei Chigong, and Li Yuan was strangely "playing in a boat", unaware of everything outside - in fact, it was also controlled, and Li Shimin flipped the plate in one fell swoop.
However, the root cause of the investigation of the change in Xuanwumen is obviously Li Yuan's two concubines: Zhang Jieyu and Yin Defei, who became the fuse of the change of Xuanwumen, first used by Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji to attack Li Shimin, and then used by Li Shimin to tie the father and son together and finally ignite it in Xuanwumen...
