China has a feudal history of more than 2,000 years, starting from the unification of the Six Kingdoms by Qin Shi Huang and the establishment of the Qin Dynasty, he claimed himself emperor and was also the supreme ruler of China's feudal society for more than 2,000 years. Therefore, in order to compete for the throne, the dynasties and dynasties really did not recognize the six relatives.
For example, Zhu Di, who we are very familiar with, defeated his nephew and became emperor himself, and the Nine Dragons of the Qing Dynasty, and the nine princes really exhausted their means in order to get the supreme throne. What we want to talk about today may be the bloodiest struggle to seize the throne in history, and he is the Xuanwumen Revolution launched by Li Shimin.
For the Xuanwumen change launched by Li Shimin, we may have the impression that Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji are incompetent, and the two of them do not like that Li Shimin is better than them, so the two framed Li Shimin, and Li Shimin could not bear to be killed by his brothers, and under the circumstances of no way, he launched the Xuanwumen rebellion and sat on the emperor's throne.
History is often not like this, Li Shimin launched the Xuanwumen Revolution, not at all against Li Jiancheng, nor Li Yuanji, but his father Li Yuan. At that time, Li Shimin did not arrange troops at Xuanwu Gate at all, but arranged his troops in the Linhu Hall, so what kind of hall was the Linhu Hall! This hall is Li Yuan's office, where Li Yuan works, so why did Li Shimin arrange his troops here!
At that time, someone accused Li Shimin of wanting to be emperor, and Li Yuan knew about it, this is okay, Lao Tzu is not dead, you want to be Lao Tzu's position, even if you want to do it, the crown prince is also Li Jiancheng, not you Li Shimin, so he called Li Shimin over to confront, at this time Li Shimin had no way, only to say that Li Jiancheng had fornicated with Li Yuan's concubine to divert his attention.
This was a big deal, and Li Yuan was angry, it was Li Guang who had adulterously communicated with his concubines, and only then did the Sui Dynasty perish, and Li Yuan did not want the Tang Dynasty to repeat the same mistakes, so he asked the three brothers to come to the Lake Hall tomorrow for a meeting to solve this problem together. At that time, Li Shimin also knew that his father was partial to Li Jiancheng, and the power of the two of them (Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji) came from Li Yuan, as long as Li Yuan was controlled, then the two of them were not my opponents.
So Li Shimin did not stop, sent troops to surround the Linhu Hall (that is, where Li Yuan worked), and controlled Li Yuan, of course, there was a struggle, the history of this struggle is not recorded, after the victory of the struggle, Put Li Yuan on a boat. When Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji came to the Linhu Hall and found that something was wrong, they immediately ran and ran to the Xuanwu Gate and were killed.
Since Li Shimin launched a mutiny in the Linhu Temple, why should it be said that it was Xuanwu Gate, which is related to an undercover agent bought by Li Shimin, he is Chang He, the xuanwu gatekeeper, at that time Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji did not bring many people into the palace, because Li Jiancheng felt that the Xuanwu gatekeeper would be his own people, and he could move the rescue troops at will (at that time, the Prince's Mansion and the Qi Palace gathered more than two thousand people, as long as someone escaped and moved to rescue the troops, Li Shimin was definitely not an opponent).
When he was in the Linhu Temple, he found that the problem was not good, so he fled back, and when he came to xuanwu gate, he found that xuanwu gate was closed, he couldn't go out, and the rescuers couldn't come in, plus he didn't bring many people, and he was definitely not Li Shimin's opponent, so he was killed.
