Li Yuan's last day: Looking at Li Shimin and a dozen underage sons, his heart was full of fear

author:Tang Feng Song Yue

At noon on the sixth day of May in the ninth year of Zhenguan (635), heavy rain poured down, thunder and lightning poured down, the Tai'an Palace of Chang'an City arched the front hall, li Yuan, whose face was withered, lay on the sickbed, his breath was like a gossamer, next to the sickbed stood Li Shimin and empress eldest grandson, kneeling on the ground with a dozen of his sons, the eldest Li Yuanjing was seventeen years old, and the youngest Li Yuannian was only five years old. Looking at these underage sons, Li Yuan was worried and couldn't help but think of the coup nine years ago. In that coup, he lost two sons and the throne.

In the early morning of the fourth gengshen day (July 2, 626) of the ninth year of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan got up early, and Zhang Jieyu and Yin Guifei served him to put on the imperial robes. Both gave him a son, both of whom were seven years old, clever, lively and lovely. Li Yuan especially favored these two concubines, and often visited them. But today, when Li Yuan saw them, he was a little annoyed, a little irritable, and a little unwilling. Because they're in big trouble.

After the dispersal of the dynasty yesterday afternoon, Li Yuan left Li Shimin behind and showed him cards. Some people accused you of plotting rebellion, and in recent days there have been two consecutive "Taibai Jingtian" (that is, Taibai Venus appears in the sky in daylight, Taibai Venus is a killing star, and the daytime floating sky is a sign of changing dynasties), Tai Shi Ling said, Taibai sees Qin, and the King of Qin should have the world. If you want to rebel, even the heavens can't see it, Pai Taibaixing reminded me.

When Li Shimin heard it, it was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day. There is no excuse for the sin of wanting to add to it. He knew that he was in a precarious situation recently, and he didn't expect that Li Yuan was going to do it now. From Li Yuan's point of view, there is nothing wrong with taking himself, after all, Li Jiancheng is the prince and the foundation of the Tang Empire, and he is only a leaf, or the thickest branch, which is the object of forceful pruning. For the sake of a smooth transition of imperial power, "cutting the domain" is a must for any emperor. It's just that Li Shimin didn't expect it to be today, didn't expect it to be now, completely caught off guard, caught off guard.

He looked at Li Yuan's serious and sharp eyes, and knew that Li Yuan was determined, running at high speed in his head, thinking about countermeasures. He knew that as long as one did not respond properly, his life would be over. Immediately, qinwangtou street will be abolished, house arrest will be put up, and his royal family cronies will be divided and dealt with, and they will become tigers in cages, waiting for the day when they will be pulled out and skinned. When Li Yuan died and Li Jiancheng became emperor, his life came to an end.

Li Yuan's last day: Looking at Li Shimin and a dozen underage sons, his heart was full of fear

After all, Li Shimin is a battle-hardened god of war, and his ability to adapt to opportunities is in the realm. The old man said that since the ancient energy army has not been the right of the King of Qin, Chen Yinke said that the change of Xuanwumen was the most dangerous and difficult battle in Li Shimin's life. The biggest feature of Li Shimin's war is that he won by surprise and did not play cards according to common sense. Almost every victory he fought was based on fewer blows and more, and he won by losing in the inferior situation, turning the impossible into a possibility. He knew that Taibai Jingtian was just an excuse for Li Yuan to get rid of him, and there was no way out by pleading and justifying, and he had to find another way.

Li Shimin fell to his knees with a loud thud, tears pouring down, Father Emperor, I am not sorry to die, but cheapened the real chaotic thieves Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji. I think that when I beat Xue Ju, Liu Wuzhou, Song Jingang, Wang Shichong, Dou Jiande, Liu Heimin, and made great military achievements, they were jealous of me, framed me, for the sake of the Tang Dynasty, I have been tolerating, giving in, and I don't want brothers to kill each other and do stupid things that make the enemies hate each other. There is one thing I have not said, I am afraid that others will say that I am provoking dissension, and since I am going to die today, I cannot but say it, otherwise I will go to hell and see Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande, and I will also be laughed at by them.

Li Jiancheng's harem of fornication is ambiguous with Zhang Jieyu and Yin Guifei, this matter is known to everyone, and you are alone. It's just that the two of you are favored, and no one dares to say it. The former Sui Dynasty Emperor Yang Guang dared to rape the empress dowager when Yang Jian was alive, and eventually died and the country was destroyed, Yin Jian was not far away, I was afraid that I would repeat the same mistakes.

Li Yuan was very stunned when he heard this, and he was confused. And how I've never heard of it. Do you have proof? Catch the thief and catch the stolen, catch the adulterer and catch the double. Li Shimin swore that of course I had it, can I talk about it indiscriminately? My wife, the eldest grandson, often went to the harem, saw it with her own eyes, and testified to many palace eunuchs. Li Yuan looked outside the palace, the remnants of the sun were like blood, and the roof ridge was like a beast, so he said, Well, tomorrow morning, you will confront each other in court.

That night, Zhang Jieyu told Li Jiancheng the news. Li Jiancheng was overjoyed to hear the news, and he celebrated with his staff, and after many years of open and secret struggle, he finally wanted to see the difference. Tomorrow morning, it will be the end of Li Shimin.

Li Yuan's last day: Looking at Li Shimin and a dozen underage sons, his heart was full of fear

Before Li Yuan went out, Yin Defei and Zhang Jieyu looked at him with frightened eyes, and he said that there was no need to panic, and he was not afraid of the shadow oblique. Even if there is a matter of melon field and plum, I will not pursue it. In his later years, Li Yuan ignored the government and politics, and all affairs were handled by the second concubine, who had frequent contacts with Li Jiancheng, so Li Yuan said this. The second concubine prostrated her head in thanksgiving.

Li Yuan came to the main hall, Xiao Yu Pei And the others were already waiting early, Li Yuan gave the seat, a group of old friends drank tea and talked, waiting for the arrival of the three people. He was sitting, when suddenly there was a loud shout outside, the sound of knives and guns crashing was deafening, and the arrows even hit the main hall. Li Yuan and the others were stunned and did not know what was happening outside. After a long time, the sound of the fight gradually stopped, only to hear a rush of footsteps, only to see Wei Chigong wearing an armored sword, covered in blood, entering the main hall, bowing down to salute, saying Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please forgive Wei Chen's armor, can not perform the ceremony.

As soon as Li Yuan saw this posture, he knew that a major change had taken place and asked, Who is rebelling outside? Wei Chigong replied that the rebellion between the crown prince and the king of Qi had been suppressed by the king of Qin. The King of Qin was now outside the palace, waiting for His Majesty to fall. Li Yuan asked the ministers, what should I do? The ministers said that the crown prince and the king of Qi were already dead, and only the king of Qin was left, and only the king of Qin could be made crown prince. Li Yuan said, Chuan Qin King. Li Shimin came in, knelt in front of Li Yuan, sucked on Li Yuan's nipples, and cried. Li Yuan touched his head and said, It's all right, it's all over. I used to listen to rumors and almost make a big mistake, but thankfully you were there.

After Li Yuan abdicated, he still lived in the Taiji Palace. Taiji Palace is located in the depths of the imperial city, heavily guarded, isolated from the world, quiet and quiet, it is the best place for retirement, and later Li Longji became the emperor of Taishang, he was placed here by Tang Suzong Li Heng, and eventually died here. In the third year of Zhenguan, under the persuasion of Qunchen, Li Shimin moved Li Yuan to The Tai'an Palace.

Tai'an Palace, originally known as Hongyi Palace, was built by Li Yuan for Li Shimin in the fifth year of Wude (622). Li Shimin also lived in taiji palace at the earliest, not far from Li Jiancheng Li Yuanji, Li Jiancheng lived in the East Palace, Li Shimin lived in the Chengqian Hall (li Shimin's eldest son Li Chengqian's name is derived from this hall), and Li Yuanji lived in the Wude Hall. Father and son hold the same power of the dynasty, and at the same time issue orders, and each department will act according to whose orders they receive first.

In order to change this drawback of many political prowess, coupled with the gradual deterioration of the relationship between Li Shimin and Li Yuanjian yuanji, Li Yuan listened to Pei Yuan's suggestion and specially built the Hongyi Palace for Li Shimin outside the city, on the grounds that "with the merits of the King of Qin, special gifts", Li Shimin moved out of the palace and away from the center of power. Due to the hasty construction, the palace walls are low, the palace is humble, and Li Shimin has quite a criticism. After Li Yuan passed the position of prince to Li Shimin, he offered to move away from taiji palace and live in Hongyi Palace, on the grounds that Hongyi Palace "has beautiful scenery of mountains and forests" and an elegant environment, which I like very much.

But Li Shimin did not allow it. First, the overall situation was unstable, he had just ascended the throne, and he had to firmly grasp Li Yuan in his hands and could not leave his sight. Second, as soon as he ascended the throne, he drove his father out of the Taiji Palace and moved to the Hongyi Palace, just like the young people now drive their fathers and mothers to the old and broken century-old houses as soon as they get married, they live in a spacious and bright big new house with their new daughter-in-law, and they marry their daughters-in-law and forget their mothers, which is called filial piety, so how do the people of the world say ah. Therefore, Li Shimin did not agree to Li Yuan moving out, until three years later, the overall situation had been decided, and at Li Yuan's repeated requests, Li Shimin moved Li Yuan to Hongyi Palace and changed his name to Tai'an Palace.

Tai'an is Tai'an, Guotai Min'an.

Li Yuan's last day: Looking at Li Shimin and a dozen underage sons, his heart was full of fear

Three years later, that is, in the sixth year of Zhenguan, inspector Yushi Ma Zhou told Li Shimin that I had gone out of the city a few days ago to wander around the Tai'an Palace, and found that the palace walls were low, the palace was small, and there was not even a city tower. The East Palace where your son Li Chengqian lives is much more awesome than your old son's. Although your father does not care, and you also cherish the people's strength, but the barbarians in all directions and the people of the world are watching it, and it is always inappropriate to go on like this. Li Shiminxin said that I had lived in this place for five or six years, why didn't you give advice to Li Yuan? Of course, this is not to blame Ma Zhou, who was still teaching in the village and did not know Li Yuan and Li Shimin. Li Shimin then rebuilt the Tai'an Palace, especially the gate tower was built high and large, and the city wall was magnificent, showing that he was a filial piety.

Li Yuan moved to the Tai'an Palace, Li Shimin often came to visit, the father and son drank and chatted, and when they had good food, they also brought it to Li Yuan to taste. Li Shimin was entangled in official duties, and he was too busy to come over, so he sent a eunuch over every day to greet Li Yuan and see what was missing from what he was wearing, and made up for it at the first time.

On the afternoon of May 6, the ninth year of Zhenguan (635), the torrential rain that had begun to fall since the previous night finally stopped, and the sun broke through the clouds and shone on the eaves in front of the temple, shining with golden light. Li Yuan's life also came to an end, he opened his eyelids with difficulty, Li Shimin quickly leaned over, Li Yuan said, My sons are not adults, they have you to take care of. Li Shimin's tears fell like rain, and his sons and daughters must not live up to the instructions of their father.

Li Yuan closed his eyes in relief, dying at the age of seventy.

Among the sons left by Li Yuan, Li Yuanchang, the seventh son, was killed by Li Shimin for his involvement in the rebellion of the crown prince Li Chengqian. Li Shimin originally wanted to keep him alive, but the ministers said that if they plotted rebellion, they could live, and there was nothing else they could do. Li Shimin said with tears in his eyes that before the death of the former emperor, Chun Chun told me to take good care of them, but they did such a great rebellious thing, which is my dereliction of duty. Gao Shilian and Li Ji said that the king regards the four seas as his home and has no one to love. His Majesty's affection is bent to the public, and Engga is a thief who wants to open the net and leak this whale salamander. Ministers, etc. have divisions, and do not serve the system. In this way, Wu Chu Qijun did not sigh at xiang Han; Guan Cai's second uncle did not hate Youzhou.

At that time, Li Shimin killed Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, and also told Fang Xuanling that I killed them because Zhou Gong killed Uncle Cai. Now Gao and Li said that when you kill Li Yuanchang, you kill Jiancheng Yuanji, you are all doing harm to the country, and you don't have any psychological burden. Li Shimin cried and agreed.

Li Yuan's last day: Looking at Li Shimin and a dozen underage sons, his heart was full of fear

The eighth elder Li Yuanheng was the son of Li Yuan and Yin Defei, and he died of illness at the age of thirteen. Lao Jiu Li Yuanfang was the son of Li Yuan and Zheng Jieyu, and died of illness at the age of eleven. The tragic death of the two at a young age is also a mystery for eternity.

The Tang Dynasty was a turning point in the inheritance of Chinese civilization in the past and the opening up of the future, and it was also a turning point in the leisurely culture of the Chinese nation, after the Tang Dynasty, the Chinese civilization turned from external to introverted, and began to live a small life behind closed doors. However, Sheng Tang's broad and powerful momentum of accommodating the whole world, vast and all directions, told us how not to think of him.

Tang Dynasty men were brave and heroic, and their ambitions soared; Tang Dynasty women dared to love and dare to hate, and did not let their eyebrows be raised. They straddled their three-foot swords, raised a glass to invite Mingyue, and shouted "Why don't boys take Wu hooks and collect Guanshan Fifty Prefectures"; they wear men's clothes, draw thick eyebrows, play polo, drink spirits, and shout "When the flowers can be folded, they must be folded, and there is no need to fold the branches without flowers."

Huanghuang history, redundant and noisy. There is a positive history, there is a wild history. The main historical records are lost to the desire to say that they are still hugh, and the wild history records are lost to hearsay. Many historical figures are limited by knowledge and cannot read through the New Book of Tang and the Old Book of Tang, so that they cannot understand the vivid and real Tang Dynasty, which cannot be said to be a pity.

Fortunately, this regret was perfectly filled by "This Tang Dynasty Is Too Interesting". This set of books is The master's degree student of the History Department of Wuhan University, Cheng Donglin, wrote in imitation of popular history, and he has always adhered to the writing tenet of "history itself is wonderful, history can be written very well", and the boring and complicated history is written with great fun, the words are exquisite, the language is witty, people love it, and they want to read it in one breath. If you want to understand the Ming Dynasty, there is "Those Things of the Ming Dynasty" by Mingyue that year; if you want to understand the Tang Dynasty, there is Shi Chengdonglin's "This Tang Dynasty is Too Interesting".
