Li Yuan, during Tang Gaozu's anti-Sui period, Li Shimin made many contributions. After the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan and Tang Gaozu named Li Shimin King of Qin.
However, Li, our eldest brother, was appointed as the Crown Prince. He is the natural heir to the throne.
Encouraged by the staff, Li Shimin was launched in the ninth year of Tang Dynasty (626)? The change of Xuanwu Gate? , killed the eldest brother lee's crown prince, four brother Li Yuanji.
And all their sons.
Tang Gaozu and Tang Gaozu could only make Li Shimin a prince, and soon retired. Li Shimin acceded to the throne as he wished.
Li Shimin knew that the process of becoming an emperor was too bloody and unbearable, so when he became an emperor, he decided to establish a "wise monarch" demeanor.
And Wei Zhi is an important nail in his performance.
Wei Zhi's resume is very complicated, and Yue You can understand:
In the 13th year of Sui Dynasty (6 17), young Wei Zhi worked under Cheng Yuanbao of Wuyang County. After the rise of Yuanbao, the response followed closely.
In the second year of Tang Wude (6 19), Shimi was defeated by Zheng Guogong of Sui Dynasty and the king of Shangshu Zuo, and was forced to surrender to the Tang Dynasty. Wei Zhi also joined the Tang Dynasty.
Crown Prince Li asked to wash the horse for the prince. He is very polite. Wei Zhi is also very kind to him, and has repeatedly advised him to beware of Li Shimin.
In the ninth year of Tang Wude (626), after he was killed in the Xuanwu Gate incident, he saw the value of the complex background, first appointed him as the chief book of Zhan, and began to create legends.
In 627, he was appointed as Cheng.
In the third year of Tang Zhenguan (629), Wei Zhi was appointed secretary supervisor and began to participate in government affairs.
In the seventh year of Tang Zhenguan (633), Wei Zhi served as a teaching assistant in a middle school. He was unfamiliar with the law and handled the long-standing backlog of undecided lawsuits in Shangshu Province according to the actual situation.
In the 11th year of Tang Zhenguan (637), Li Shimin visited Luo and lived in Renxian Palace, condemning the worship of state and county officials.
Wei Zhi used Yang Guang and Yang Di as examples to warn Li Shimin, but it had little effect.
In May of the 13th year of Tang Zhenguan (639), Wei Zhi played "Ten Steps Can't Overcome the Dilemma", and listed some major problems such as Li Shimin's treasure hunting, indulging in hard work, making friends with villains, cherishing gentlemen, advocating extravagance, hunting frequently, having nothing to do, and the people being tired of corvee. Criticize Li Shimin's arrogance and arrogance, and remind him to be cautious again.
Li Shimin accepted it gladly and said a lot of nice things, but still insisted on me.
In the 14th year of Zhenguan in Tang Dynasty (640), Wei Zhi warned Li Shimin to finish what he started.
In the 16th year of Zhenguan in Tang Dynasty (642), Crown Prince Li Chenggan ascended the throne unsteadily, but Li Shimin's affection for Lee Tae in Wang Weizhong increased day by day, and there were many discussions in the ruling and opposition parties.
Li Shimin didn't want to listen to these discussions, and appointed Wei Zhi as the surname of the prince, because he knew that the province was as old as ever.
Wei Zhi didn't want to get involved in this muddy water, but Li Shimin refused on the pretext of being ill.
