Li Shimin drank the poisonous wine given by Li Jiancheng, and should have died, so why was he unharmed?

Li Shimin wen can rule the country, Wu Ke Dingbang, not only the founder and founder of the three-hundred-year foundation of the Tang Dynasty, but also formed the international system of the Eastern "Heavenly Khan" centered on the Tang Empire.

Mao Zedong once said: "Since ancient times, there has been no right wing of Li Shimin, followed by Zhu Yuanzhang's ear."

It can be seen that the evaluation is high, li Shimin's wenzhi martial arts should be the first among ancient kings.

However, he is not without stains, and the biggest stain is the falsification of history.

History is a little girl dressed up.

The most ruthless of the blacks were the Sui Emperor Yang Guang and the crown prince Li Jiancheng.

Emperor Wen of Sui ended nearly 300 years of war and chaos, recuperated, followed the rule of Wenjing, and increased his national strength, while Yang Guang followed Emperor Wu's example in opening up territory, building canals, marching on Goguryeo three times, creating a supreme foundation, and the great cause of building a trumpet showed his ambitions.

But what has become of the history books? Absurd, tyrannical and lustful.

And the prince was built, and it was not as bad as it was written in the history books.

Historical records

"Built to be cruel, the master is the talent of the mane; the yuan ji is fierce, and there are traces of overturning the nest." If it were not for Emperor Taizong's rebellion and obedience, and the accumulation of merit and merit, how could it be that three hundred years of Yanhong and the twenty emperors were heirs? Or if you insist on small sections, you will lose a lot of money, and if you want to compare with Qin II and the Sui Emperor, you will not be able to do it. Jiancheng and Yuanji are actually two murderers. China's foreign structure is not tolerated by man and god. ”

These few comments in the history books almost scolded Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji as pigs and dogs, not even Hu Hai of Qin II and Yang Guang, the Emperor of Sui Dynasty, and praised Li Shimin as unparalleled in the world, through heaven and earth, if Li Jiancheng was really made emperor, Tang would also end up in the second life. If according to this statement, if Li Jiancheng did not die, it would be impossible to have the glory of Datang.

But is that really the case?

If there is no Li Jiancheng, how can Li Shimin open up and cooperate on the battlefield, go forward without any worries about the fire in the backyard, continue to charge the front if he wins, and go back to recuperate when he loses. At that time, Chang'an was not so safe, the Turks had no credibility, they liked to fight and rob when they rebelled, and the soldiers who had just surrendered needed to be appeased, how to appease the people's hearts, and stabilize the regime, this series of problems was not very easy to solve, trivial and tricky, and all needed to be solved one by one by the leader Li Yuan and the person in charge Li Jiancheng. Therefore, Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin, one building a base area and the other fighting a new territory, each performed their duties.

And there was also a loophole that could not be hidden, Wei Zheng.

Wei Zheng, he can be regarded as a migrant worker with modern consciousness, he is very serious about every job, for Li Jiancheng, Wei Zheng once offered the strategy of pacifying Liu Heimin, which had an immediate effect; and then he also offered the strategy of "getting to know Shandong Haojie" and consolidated the position of the prince. In addition, Wei Zheng once had a very important suggestion:

"The prestige of the King of Qin is getting higher and higher, I am afraid that it is not conducive to your future position, please make up your mind to get rid of him as soon as possible."

This suggestion, Li Jiancheng did not adopt. It may be that Li Jiancheng cares about brotherly feelings and does not start first. Instead, he was preemptively shot by Li Shimin at Xuanwu Gate.

After the change of Xuanwu Gate, Li Shimin once asked Wei Zheng, "Why do you want to stir up the feelings between our brothers?" Wei Zheng said bluntly, "If the prince had used my plan earlier, there would be no disaster today!" ”

From Li Jiancheng's appreciation of Wei Zheng alone, it can be judged that Li Jiancheng's vision of people is no worse than Li Shimin's.

There is no way to avoid Wei Zheng, and the compilers of the History of Tang can only try to push Li Jiancheng's credit to Wei Zheng, but Wei Zheng is only a strategist, just a migrant worker, and it depends on the manager's vision to finally adopt it or not. A good manager is not able to come up with ideas, but how to get the right ideas from subordinates and how to use people. From this point of view, it shows that Li Jiancheng's ability is not weak.

From 618 to 626, the internal politics of the Tang regime was clear, and according to historical records, Li Yuan at that time was enjoying himself in the harem, so who was in charge of governing the country? This decision-maker could not be Li Shimin, who led troops to fight outside, so it could only be Li Jiancheng.

Li Jiancheng, the hidden prince, deserves his own name - to build a successful career.

In general, he is also a capable man, a righteous prince and a very qualified successor, the lord of shoucheng. It's just that the younger brother is more cattle and more ruthless.

And his second brother, Li Shimin, the General of Tiance, was also worthy of his own name, Ji Shi'anmin.

So let's go back to the problem itself

First of all, I think that the so-called Li Jiancheng poisoning Li Shimin must also come from Li Shimin's smear.

Why?

Because it doesn't make sense. Li Jiancheng is a very qualified successor, but also a smart person.

He knew that he would not have to do anything to ascend to the throne smoothly.

He is a concubine, and he is not mediocre, and he is also a good hand at governing the country and the country, why should he poison Li Shimin in one fell swoop, or in his own home, is this not to add trouble to himself?

However, in the end, he still did not think that his brother was decisive enough and fierce enough.

He could not meet Li Shimin, he was a qualified lord of shoucheng, but the trick of fate allowed him to meet the more excellent Li Er.

The survival of the fittest, in vain sighs.
