Why Did Li Shimin have to occupy Li Jianjian's wife, not because of beauty, but for this, Li Shimin was originally a son of Li Yuan, originally the Li family was not eligible for the throne, but because of the Sui Dynasty's examination system, the Guanlong clique began to abandon the Yang family, Li Yuan rebelled in the name of uprising, and the Li family also began to slowly have contradictions, on the one hand, Li Shimin was the mainstay, on the other hand, Li Jiancheng was the mainstay, Li Shimin began to deliberately coup d'état, and finally the contradiction broke out in the Xuanwumen War.

At that time, when Li Shimin launched the Xuanwumen Revolution, at this time, the crown princess Zheng was only twenty-eight years old, it was the young who was in full bloom, and she could be selected as the princess, and the posture was needless to say, many people thought that Li Shimin saw the beauty of the princess, so he included the Zheng family in the harem, in fact, the most important thing is the background of the princess, Li Shimin will not take the Zheng family to open the knife, and if the Zheng family is spared, it is natural to let go of Li Yuanji's princess Qi, because Li Yuanji's wife is from the Guan long Yang family. When Li Shimin first ascended to the throne, he naturally would not offend the family, so the best way was to win over his relatives.

At that time, the crown princess Zheng Guanyin was only twenty-eight years old, which was the time when the style was flourishing and the beauty of the generation, and the Princess Yang of Qi was even more known as a closed moon and shy flowers, sinking fish and falling geese, and many people said that Li Shimin was fascinated by sex at that time, and only then did he "occupy" the concubines into the palace.
In fact, Li Shimin did not kill The Crown Princess Zheng Guanyin, but did not really incorporate herself into her harem, but gave her a worry-free life for the rest of her life. According to historical records: after the death of her husband Li Jiancheng, the crown princess Zheng Shi spent all her days mourning her deceased husband and raising young orphans, and after fifty years of widowhood, she died in Changle Gate in the first month of the third year of Emperor Gaozong's reign (676), at the age of seventy-eight.
The sister-in-law, princess Qi, was really included in the harem by Li Shimin, and was favored and loved, and wanted to be made empress, but was persuaded by Wei Zheng to stop it.
New Book of Tang: Cao Wangming, the mother princess of Benchao, the emperor's favorite, wanted to be the queen, Wei Zheng advised: "Your Majesty can not win and tired yourself" is the end.
It can be seen that Li Shimin's alignment with princess may be attracted by beauty, fascinated by color, and really liked. But there are definitely more important reasons why the wise men, like him.
<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="03" > revenge on his brother Li Yuanji</h1>
Although Li Shimin and Li Yuanji are brothers to each other, the relationship between them has always been very cold, and the three brothers are divided into two teams, Li Shimin has a team, and Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji have a team.
In the last year of the Sui Dynasty, the world was in chaos, Li Yuan rebelled in Taiyuan, Shanxi, and the three brothers of Li Shimin followed their father in the southern conquest of the Northern War, made great military achievements, and finally successfully overthrew the Sui Dynasty and established the Tang Dynasty.
Because Li Shimin's merits were too great, Li Yuan made him a "General of Heavenly Strategy", second only to the emperor and the crown prince. After the world was at peace, Li Shimin continued to recruit talents with light, which made the two brothers Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji feel a serious crisis, and the relationship between the three brothers became worse and worse.
Li Yuanji was fierce, and in order to kill Li Shimin, he sent his general Yuwen Bao, and later joined forces with Li Jiancheng to poison him in wine, killing Li Shimin to death and vomiting three liters of blood.
The most crucial thing is that he almost took Li Shimin's life during the Xuanwumen Revolution. At that time, Li Shimin set up an ambush at Xuanwu Gate, and an arrow took the life of his eldest brother Li Jiancheng, Li Yuanji ran when he saw that the opportunity was not good, and Li Shimin followed him on horseback.
As a result, the horse was frightened and ran out of control into the woods, Li Shimin was hung by a branch and fell to the ground, Li Yuanji rushed over to grab the bow and wanted to strangle him to death, at this time Wei Chi Jingde came to the horse and shouted, Li Yuanji rushed to the Wude Hall, and finally was shot by Wei Chi Jingde. In this regard, the Zizhi Tongjian records:
Shimin ma escaped into the forest, hung by wooden branches, and could not be lifted. Yuan Ji arrived, grabbed the bow and strangled it, and honored the Prancing Horse. Yuan Jibu wanted to fun the Wude Hall, Jingde chased and shot, and killed it.
In particular, it can be seen that there is a deep hatred between Li Shimin and Li Yuanji, and he is eager to peel it and cramp it. Therefore, at the funeral, Li Shimin set his nickname as "剌", that is, the meaning of "not thinking of favors", implying that Li Yuanji had a legacy of death.
Therefore, Li Shimin's occupation of Princess Qi was partly to avenge Xue Hate, which made Li Yuanji feel humiliated under the Nine Springs.
summary:
All in all, Li Shimin's occupation of his sister-in-law, Princess Qi, was influenced by lustfulness and the possessiveness of the victors, as well as the intention of revenge on his younger brother Li Yuanji, and at the same time to win political help and thus maintain the stability of the regime.
