Fan Chengda once recalled the Xuanwumen Incident: after the completion of the horse, he wanted to return home, and Yuan Jixing tended to Wu Demin. There are many people who have a high evaluation of Li Yuan now, but if we focus on educating our children, is the transcript that Li Yuan handed in excellent? Behind this question, there will naturally be more controversy, and no one can give a relatively more objective answer. If Li Yuan's son Li Jiancheng had naturally become emperor, then what kind of attitude would Li Jiancheng have towards the other brothers, and would he have killed his own brother?
Now when people watch film and television dramas, they will be taken astray by modern screenwriters, thinking that Li Jiancheng is really a very sinister and cunning villain full of jealousy as described in modern film and television dramas. In fact, Li Jiancheng can have such a film and television drama image, which is completely in line with a characteristic, that is, the winner is the king, and the loser is the coward. That is to say, history is described by the victors, and Li Jiancheng, as the beheaded in the Xuanwumen Revolution, was naturally labeled as a villain.
But what kind of form does Li Jiancheng look like in history, and if he wants to ascend the throne and become emperor, how will he treat Li Shimin? In fact, everyone may be wrong to blame Li Jiancheng.
Li Jiancheng was born in 589 and died in 626. After li jiancheng's father raised an army from Shanxi, he has been valued by Li Yuan for many years. Later, after the establishment of the Tang Dynasty regime in 618, Li Yuan soon made Li Jiancheng the crown prince, that is, the first crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, and if you look at it according to this logic, there is basically nothing about Li Shimin. If Li Shimin had not put a foot in it at this time, Li Jiancheng would have naturally become the second emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
Before the change of Xuanwumen, Li Jiancheng had a figure in his family who was equivalent to a military division level, called Wei Zheng. Wei Zheng was also used even during Li Shimin's time. In fact, Wei Zheng was not Li Shimin's person at the beginning, but a horse washing worker in Li Jiancheng's family.
However, because Wei Zheng's logical thinking ability was very strong, he was also reused and respected by Li Jiancheng. Wei Zheng had already come up with many plans before, asking Li Jiancheng to send Li Shimin to a remote place, even if it was to send a high-ranking official, and never put Li Shimin in the center of power, otherwise it would be easy to raise tigers.
However, Li Jiancheng did not accept Wei Zheng's suggestion, whether it was due to brotherly feelings or reasons for not being able to drive away Li Shimin. In short, Li Jiancheng did not make up his mind to send Li Shimin away in the end, otherwise if he looked at it as a prince, if Li Jiancheng was determined to send Li Shimin away from the power center of the Tang Dynasty regime, then Li Shimin could not have launched the Xuanwumen Incident so quickly.
Therefore, from this historical event, everyone can see that even if Li Jiancheng ascends to the throne, then there should be no bloody things happening to Li Shimin. As everyone knows, in the entire history of the early Tang Dynasty, Li Jiancheng's biggest political enemy can only be regarded as Li Shimin. Since Li Jiancheng will not kill Li Shimin, he will naturally be more benevolent to other brothers and sisters. For example, like Li Yuanji and Li Yuanba, they are also brothers who wear small pants to big brothers, and the probability of them being killed by the killer is not very high. Therefore, when Li Jiancheng became emperor, almost all other brothers could be reused.
