    Before the Tang Dynasty, there were many brothers who turned against each other, which is not surprising, like Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, who killed his brother and killed his father, and finally ended up in ruin! Li Yuan is Li Shimin's father, he is not obsessed with the throne, and he is rebellious and exterminating his father, and he will be infamous through the ages, how to serve the public in the future. Therefore, as long as Li Yuan is obedient and becomes his own emperor, regardless of the government, the smart Li Shimin will not kill Li Yuan!

    In fact, it doesn't make much sense to kill Li Yuan or not!

    Killing his brother is to fight for power.

    Before the Tang Dynasty, there was a historical proof of fratricidal cannibalism, so it is not an exaggeration.

    But killing his father is a great crime against morality, and Li Yuan didn't have much real power at that time, so as a wise person like Li Shimin, he would not do such a thing.

    It's not that you don't dare to kill, it's that you don't need to kill. Because he is already the only one who has the right to inherit, and he also has his own army and team, at this time, Li Yuan has little impact on whether he kills or not, anyway, Li Yuan also knows it, and unceremoniously said that after Li Shimin becomes the emperor, even if he dies immediately, Li Yuan can't make waves, because Li Shimin's team basically participated in the Xuanwumen Change, and if he doesn't want to die, he has to help press Li Yuan and help Li Shimin's son ascend the throne.

    The struggle for imperial power in ancient times has always been cruel, as an emperor, why should there be so many sons, is to have more choices when choosing an heir, the heir must be ruthless and unscrupulous, because such a person can keep the country. Therefore, fratricidal and brotherly enmity are normal things in the eyes of the emperor.

    Is there less such a thing as killing one's own relatives in order to fight for the throne? Does killing a loved one have anything to do with whether or not he can be a good emperor?

  43. Anonymous users2023-12-26

    The reason why Li Shimin is still a good emperor is mainly because the series of policies he implemented after succeeding to the throne have made great contributions to the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, and some of his governance programs have indeed created benefits for the people.

    After the founding of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan sat in Chang'an, Li Shimin led the army to fight everywhere, and half of the territory of the Tang Dynasty was defeated by him, which finally led to his lack of reward, and also aggravated the contradiction between him and the prince. In order to save his life, he had to launch the Xuanwumen Rebellion. Two months after that, Li Yuan ceded the throne to Li Shimin, and the Tang Dynasty ushered in the era of Li Shimin.
