Tang Taizong led 10 people to launch the Xuanwumen Rebellion, who were these 10 people, and how did they end up?
After experiencing the Xuanwu Gate incident, Li Shimin focused on the major affairs of the country, and it was precisely in this way that the country developed very well during this period, and was also known in history as the rule of Zhenguan. And Li Shimin has ten very trusted people, I believe everyone is also very curious about how these ten people ended up, so look down with me.
First, the eldest grandson is unscrupulous
In the change of Xuanwumen, he can be said to have played a very important role, he was very supportive of his brother-in-law, and he had a great credit for winning this battle. Moreover, the reason why Li Zhi was able to ascend to the throne was also thanks to his help. And his sister is the current empress dowager, so her status in the imperial court is very high; but because her niece and daughter-in-law is Wu Zetian, she eventually ended up in a ruined family.
2. Wei Chi Jingde
He was actually a Humble Man, who had followed Liu Wuzhou before, and since Li Shimin killed Liu Wuzhou, he had followed Li Shimin. He rode the savior alone, Li Shimin, so it seems that he saved Li Shimin's life. Moreover, in the change of Xuanwu Gate, he killed Li Yuanji, and also protected Tang Gaozu, making a lot of merit. Therefore, Li Shimin was very good to him, and because of this, he had been very arrogant like Han Xin for a while before, but in the end, under the advice of Li Shimin, he learned Zhang Liang and began to raise his life.
3. Hou Junji
He began to follow Li Shimin at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and it was only under his persuasion that Li Shimin finally decided to take action against the crown prince. However, Hou Junji also had cases of instigating others to rebel, and the person he instigated was Zhang Liang, so Zhang Liang told Li Shimin about this matter, and Li Shimin did not want to punish him after he knew about it. However, what Hou Junji did became more and more excessive, and he actually colluded with the prince to want to rebel with him. As a result, he was denounced by others, but Li Shimin had feelings for him and did not want to kill him, but the ministers did not agree, and eventually he was executed.
4. Zhang Gongjin
Before the change of Xuanwu Gate, there was such a scene, when the King of Qin was counting gua, Zhang Gongjin saw this scene and immediately dropped the turtle shell of the gua gua. Let the King of Qin not hesitate at such a critical time, otherwise he will wait for death. At the time of the Xuanwumen Revolution, the crown prince and his men were attacking Xuanwumen. Zhang Gongjin has done his best to block their attack, so it seems that he has a great credit for the success of this matter. But sadly, he did not live long.
5. Liu Shili
He was now the king of Qin's personal guard, and he was also indispensable in the change of Xuanwu Gate, in addition to which he was also the ancestor of the king of Western Xia, which can be said to be very powerful.
6. Gongsun Wuda
He followed Li Shimin at an early age, and during this period he made a lot of merit. In the xuanwumen change, he also made great achievements, and later cut down the Turks, which can be said to be a very amazing record. So Li Shimin made him the Duke of Qingshui County, and died a good death.
Seventh, lonely Yanyun
There are relevant sources that record that Dugu Yanyun's wife is Princess Ankang, so he is Tang Taizong's son-in-law, then his intelligence is very good. But there is another theory, that is, Princess Ankang is his daughter-in-law. Dugu Yanyun's grandfather was Du Lonely Kai, who can be said to be deeply trusted by Du Lonely Letter, and Du Lonely Letter is not simple, he is Li Yuan's grandfather. We see that Princess Ankang's husband is his son and not himself. And his final ending is also a good ending.
VIII. Du Junqiu
He once attacked Song Jingang and attacked Liu Wuzhou, and also made great contributions in the xuanwumen rebellion. Then he attacked Goguryeo and looked very imposing. Afterwards, he was also named the founding county duke of Huaining County, and died well.
IX. Zheng Rentai
He was a pioneer in the Xuanwumen Rebellion, and later became the commander-in-chief of Tiele. It was supposed to be a good opportunity to make a contribution, but it was lost in this war. So he was sent to Qinghai, where he led troops to garrison to prevent the enemy from invading, and finally died a good death.
10. Li Mengxian
At the end of the Sui Dynasty, things were very chaotic, so he had to become a thief in order to survive. After that, he followed Li Yuan. He was first named the founding duke of Wushui County, and later became the founding duke of Handong County. Hospice.
