If Li Chengqian of the Tang Dynasty became the emperor, would he be better than Li Zhi?

Li Chengqian was the crown prince who died in the seventeenth year of Kaiyuan during the Zhenguan Zhongxing period of the Tang Dynasty, and he never became the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, so he did not have a basis for direct comparison. The political and social environment of the middle Tang Dynasty was very different from that of the Zhenguan Zhongxing period, and the outcome of historical development also depended on numerous complex factors, and it was impossible to draw conclusions simply. In addition, history is not determined by the efforts and choices of a single person, so it is impossible to determine whether the hypothesis that "Li Chengqian will be better off than Li after becoming emperor" is true.

It should be pointed out that history is the result of the practice and creation of the masses of the people, and the long-term prosperity and development of the Tang Dynasty is the result of the benign interaction between national governance and social system, the comprehensive promotion of national culture and other factors.

It must be that the former is more suitable because of the latter, he doesn't have any achievements, because he has lived a relatively mediocre and incompetent life, so Wu Zetian will appear.

Li Chengqian. He did not become emperor because he failed in his rebellion.

Li Chengqian was originally a prince, and he was very good when he was young, but later he suffered from a foot disease and hit him hard. After all, there are few disabled people in history who can still ascend to the throne, so in the inferiority complex and uneasiness, Li Chengqian gradually let himself go, another prince Li Tai.

Because of his father's favor, he gradually gave birth to the idea that as long as there is no Li Chengqian, he will definitely be able to be the prince. Fought with Li Chengqian everywhere, and in the end both lost.

At that time, Li Chengqian wanted to learn from Li Shimin's Xuanwumen changes.

Executed Li Tai to keep his position as crown prince, but the matter was revealed. Li Shimin left Li Chengqian's life and demoted him to a commoner, and later, Li Chengqian soon fell ill and died.

Li Chengqian is Li Shimin's eldest son, and he is also the son of his favorite woman, Empress Changsun, and there is a tradition of establishing a long man in ancient times, and it is only a matter of time before Li Chengqian sits on the throne. Li Chengqian was made the crown prince at the age of eight, and if there were no accidents later, then Li Shimin's next emperor would be Li Chengqian, but none of this happened.

Li Chengqian did not become emperor because his rebellion failed, and he wanted to put Li Tai to death to keep his position as crown prince, but the matter was revealed. When Li Shimin asked Li Chengqian why he had rebelled, he said that he just wanted to keep his position. After all, he was the son who had been favored since he was a child, and he was to be executed for rebellion at that time, but Li Shimin still left Li Chengqian's life and only demoted him to a commoner, but unfortunately, Li Chengqian, who was already an ordinary person, soon fell ill and died.
