However, it is always a stain on Li Shimin to launch the change of Xuanwu Gate and kill his brother and force his father.
In fact, Li Shimin didn't want to go so far. Before the Xuanwu Gate was launched, I wanted to take another road, but that road was blocked by Li and Li Yuanji, which led to this human tragedy.
When Jinyang started his army, Li and He had similar status, but after they entered Chang 'an, especially after they ascended the throne and founded the country, their status changed greatly. Li was a prince, and he mainly stayed in Chang 'an to perform his duties as a prince, while the king of Qin became the most important commander in chief in the Tang Dynasty to pacify the world.
This change in identity has led them to a completely different path. With the acceleration of the pace of pacifying the world, great achievements have been made. Even after the attack and destruction of Wang and Dou Jiande, he was made a general and can be released from office.
In the process of pacifying the world, many capable ministers gathered around him. With Ce Tian's house, these people became Li Shimin's right-hand man.
In addition, Li Shimin established a literary museum, which increased the strength of Ce Tian Palace. It is really a small court. Li's position is second only to that of He Li. Even if he has the strength to challenge Li, his ambition will gradually disappear.
The struggle between Li and Yu began to appear gradually after becoming a general of natural policy, and it continued to expand. Especially in the Wen Yang incident in the seventh year of Wude, the struggle between the two men was brought to light.
Li began to gradually eradicate the influence. He adopted the strategy of wooing, buying, assassinating and releasing people to Chang 'an, hoping to turn him into a loner in Chang 'an.
But Li Shimin will do nothing, and the competent ministers gathered around him will not change hands easily. In fact, the risk of changing hands is greater than loyalty. Li Shimin is either dead or glorious, and the worst case is to be excluded from the court.
And if the owner changes hands, even if Li becomes emperor, he can't be reused, so no one is stupid, so it is better to follow and let the last laugh.
And Li are incompatible, and no one can control anyone, so there are two roads next to them. One is to leave Chang 'an and go to Luoyang to operate; The second is to stay in Chang 'an and pull Li down from that position.
Li has worked in the company for many years. It is basically impossible for Li Shimin to find his shortcomings, so the only way to pull him down is to get rid of him. Li Shimin didn't want to go this way, so he wanted to leave Chang 'an.
Li Shimin asked Wen Daya, the minister of Taiwan Ministry of Industry, to guard Luoyang, and Sean led thousands of people, including Wang Bao, to operate in Luoyang, making friends with Shandong heroes and trying to establish a big base area in Luoyang. Once something happens to Chang 'an, Li Shimin can return to Luoyang to do other things.
However, both Lee and Li Yuanji knew something about the plot, and Sean was soon reported by Li Yuanji. Sean was arrested and tortured in Chang 'an. Fortunately, he didn't say anything and was finally put back in Luoyang.
At this time, another thing happened. Li gave a banquet in the mansion and invited many imperial clan members, including Li Yuanji and Li Shentong.
At the banquet, Li Shimin suddenly covered his stomach, then fell to the ground and vomited blood, which frightened everyone. Li Shentong hurriedly took Li Shimin back to Hongyi Palace for a doctor's diagnosis. Fortunately, it's not serious. This incident is recorded in the Book of the Two Tang Dynasties and the Bamboo Slips of Zi Tongzhi. Here, I quote from the record in Zi Tongzhi Jian:
When it was built, the people were summoned at night and drank wine. The people were heartbroken and vomited several liters of blood. Huai Shentong helped him return to the West Palace. ?
At one of Li's family dinners, he was poisoned by drinking alcohol, which was a big thing, especially in the tense situation at that time. Everyone knows what this means, but for this matter, Tang Gaozu's reaction seems strange.
After knowing, Tang Gaozu quickly went to the palace to ask about the situation, and then gave Li an imperial edict:
Qin Wang can't drink, so he can't drink at night! ?
I drank poisoned wine, but I just asked Li not to buy another drink. Is this punishment too light? Is Tang Gaozu weird? Actually, it's not like this.
Although history records show that this poison was designed by Li and Li Yuanji, inviting him to drink is to poison him, but we will know that it is not necessarily Li who is the last person to poison him.
Li is not stupid. He is Chu Jun, as long as he is the prince of Datang, beware of Li Shimin, it is possible to succeed to the throne smoothly. If he intends to get rid of Li Shimin, he is basically the end of the prince, which is why he always refuses to get rid of Li Shimin.
It's not that he is soft-hearted or doesn't want to get rid of Li Shimin, but the timing is wrong. He can find a reason to solve Li Shimin after he ascended the throne, instead of getting rid of Li Shimin in the position of prince.
Besides, at his own family dinner, he poisoned Li Shimin, which is too obvious. He has been for many years, so he won't do such a stupid thing, so Li can't be poisoned.
Judging from the results, whether it is poisoned or not, it is not good for Li. Why do you do something bad? Could it be Li Yuanji? It's possible.
Li Yuanji is also ambitious, not simply on Li's side, but he can't compare with Li and Li in any way, so only when Li and Li are dead will he have a chance. He has to do is to make both Li and Li lose, which is why Li Yuanji has repeatedly persuaded Li Jiancheng to get rid of it.
However, in Li's palace, Li Yuanji may not have a chance to be poisoned, otherwise Li He may not be on guard against him. So he may poison Li Shimin, but it's only possible.
In fact, it is Li Shimin himself who is most likely to poison Li Shimin. From the results, we know that Li Shimin only vomited blood and was not poisoned, which is quite beneficial to Li Shimin. What does Li Shimin want to achieve? Leave Chang 'an.
Looking at Li Shimin lying in bed, Tang Gaozu said something to him. The last sentence is very interesting. This is what he said:
It seems that you two brothers can't get along, and there will be disputes in Beijing. Send you back to Taiwan Province, you will live in Luoyang, and you will be king from the east of Shaanxi. Or order you to build a banner of the son of heaven, such as the story of Han Liang Wang Xiao. ?
He knew the play very well at the banquet, so he didn't blame Li, but told him not to buy drinks again. For Li Shimin, he is also very unhappy. According to the eldest son inheritance system, Li Shimin missed the position of Prince, but he has been in the world since Jinyang, and his great contribution cannot be ignored.
For Li Shimin, Tang Gaozu's son has always been contradictory, and you can't give him too much if you want to compensate him. So when this happened, Tang Gaozu decided to let Li Shimin leave Chang 'an for Luoyang, which was tantamount to giving Li Shimin territorial autonomy.
This is exactly what Li Shimin wants. When he arrives in Luoyang, he can rely on Luoyang and take the world for himself little by little.
However, tang gaozu really said, but Li Shimin refused on the grounds of unfilial. Tang gaozu said that Chang 'an is not far from Luoyang, and he wanted to visit him in Luoyang when he was in Li Shimin. What reason does Li Shimin have to refuse?
However, just as he was about to leave Chang 'an, he was stopped by Li and Li Yuanji. Li and Li Yuanji are not stupid enough to let them go to Luoyang. Isn't that releasing the tiger to the mountain and throwing the fish into the sea?
Luoyang was occupied by Li Shimin, which also had his influence. Once sent back to Luoyang, it is more difficult to control him than to ascend to heaven. But if Li Shimin is in Chang 'an, it will be different.
Although he is both civil and military, there are many capable ministers around Athens, but his power can't compete with Li. Moreover, under the planning of Li, many capable and clean people around him were transferred from Beijing or sent back to China. As long as Li Shimin is in Chang 'an, his hands and feet will be bound.
If the king of Qin goes to Luoyang, he has a basement and cannot copy it; It's better to stay in Chang 'an. It's easy for everyone to get it. ?
Therefore, Li and Li Yuanji prevented them from leaving Beijing. Because of this, our team knows that there is only one way for them, and that is to solve Li and Li Yuanji. So Xuanwu gate changed quickly.
