The historical Li Yuanba died at the age of 15, and not dying early in the Tang Dynasty would be a very important figure

The historical Li Yuanba fell ill and died at the age of 15.

Li Yuanba's original name was Li Xuanba, and the Qing Dynasty's storyteller avoided the Kangxi Emperor Xuanye's name and changed it to Li Yuanba.

Li Xuanba was Li Yuan's third son, and li Jiancheng, Li Shimin, and Li Yuanji were all born to Li Yuan's original consort, Empress Dou. Li Xuanba is one year younger than Li Shimin and 4 years older than Li Yuanji.

The historical Li Xuanba has little in common with the Sui and Tang dynasty first-class men who beat the drum and urn with a golden hammer in the commentary.

However, if Li Xuanba in history had not died early, he would have been a very important figure in history and brought very great variables to the history of the early Tang Dynasty.

(Li Xuanba)

Historically, when Li Yuanyuan raised an army in Taiyuan, Li Shimin was 19 years old, Li Yuanji was 14 years old, and Li Xuanba was 18 years old when he was alive. Li Yuanji was too young to play a limited role in the years before taiyuan and the founding of the Tang dynasty. 18 years old was already the standard for adults in ancient times. The 19-year-old Li Shimin was already an important assistant to Li Yuan when he started the army in Taiyuan, and after the army, he and Li Jiancheng became the commander of the army.

With Li Yuan's temperament, which had always trusted the Li family patriarch the most, especially his own son, Li Xuanba must have been entrusted with a heavy responsibility from the time of the Taiyuan army, holding a role similar to that of Li Shimin. If Li Xuanba was more capable, he would probably have achieved a similar status as his brother Li Shimin in the process of establishing the Tang Dynasty. If the ability is almost poor, the status will be worse than that of his brother Li Shimin, but it will definitely be far higher than the height reached by Li Yuanji in history.

Li Yuanji was too young in the early tang dynasty to miss the most important opportunity to make meritorious achievements, and at the age of 16, he also had the stain of giving up the fortified city of Taiyuan to escape during Liu Wuzhou's attack. The missed military ability is also relatively poor, only a little bit of fierce kung fu. Even so, under Li Yuanji's favor for his son, The late Wude period also developed into an important force.

Li Xuanba's objective conditions in all aspects are much better than Li Yuanji's, and even if his ability is average, he will become a greater force than Li Yuanji in history. There will still be a dispute between the crown prince and Li Shimin, the king of Qin, in the early Tang Dynasty, and what the result will be, there will be great variables.
