Who planned the Xuanwumen Incident in the Tang Dynasty Was it Li Shimin?

In 617, Li Yuan, with the support of Li Shimin, raised an army against the Sui in Taiyuan and soon occupied Chang'an. In 618, after Emperor Yang of Sui was killed, Li Yuan established the Tang Dynasty and appointed his son Li Jiancheng as the crown prince. According to Tang Chuang's daily life note, the Taiyuan rebellion was Li Yuan's own idea.

However, in the book of Tang, it was said that the Taiyuan rebellion was Li Shimin's strategy, and Li Yuan promised him to make him the crown prince after the matter was completed. After the world was calmed, Li Shimin's fame grew, but Li Yuan hesitated. Li Jiancheng immediately united with Li Yuanji to squeeze out Li Shimin.

Li Yuan's indecisiveness also caused the government and Chinese decrees to conflict with each other, which accelerated the military confrontation between the princes. The following year, Li Jiancheng suggested to Li Yuan that Li Yuanji should be the commander to go to the Turks, so as to grasp the soldiers and horses of the King of Qin, and then take the opportunity to get rid of Li Shimin. At the critical moment, Li Shimin decided to fight against the odds and strike first.

Li Shimin told Li Yuan about the conspiracy of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, and Li Yuan decided to question the two the next day. Li Jiancheng learned that the conspiracy was exposed, and decided to enter the palace first to force Li Yuan to make a statement. However, Chang He Ben, the chief of the executive guard at the Xuanwu Gate at the north gate of the palace city, and his subordinates were successfully bought by Li Shimin and successfully rebelled.

The Xuanwu Gate Rebellion was a bloody coup d'état launched by Li Shimin, the second son of the then King of Qin and Tang Gaozu Li Yuan, in the north palace gate of the Da Nei Imperial Palace in Chang'an City (now Xi'an City, Shaanxi Province), the capital of the Tang Empire, on the fourth Gengshen day of the sixth month of the ninth year of Tang Gaozu Wude (July 2, 626 AD), and Li Shimin killed his eldest brother (the then crown prince Li Jiancheng) and the fourth brother (the then Qi king Li Yuanji), and was established as the new crown prince and inherited the emperor's throne.

There is a saying called: Fang Mou Du Break !

i.e. Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui were the main masterminds. (The eldest grandson Wuji is also counted as one) Hou Junji, Wei Chi Jingde, Cheng Biting Jin, Qin Shubao, and of course, Li Shimin are the main executors.

Thanks for perfecting!

No, he's just an executor. The real mastermind is the one who came later! Lee Won-gil!

The real mastermind is Wei Chigong, which is recorded in the official history. Don't watch too many TV series, just talk nonsense.

No, it was planned by Li Jiancheng.

Anyway, it was planned by Li Shimin and his subordinates.

It was planned by Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui.

Be. But despite this, he is still a good emperor who loves the people like a son and regards the people as the sky. The Xuanwumen Revolution can't erase his great achievements, he is the first emperor of the ages, at least in my heart.

The eldest grandson Wuji planned it all.

He was forced because of his two brothers.

Although Li Shimin killed his brother and successfully seized the throne during the Xuanwumen Change, he worked hard and created a prosperous era of Zhenguan.

This is the collision and outbreak of Li Shimin's power and the prince's power. Li Shimin has accumulated a lot of resources through years of conquest, and there is a group of generals who can fight well, it can be said that without him, the Tang Dynasty could not have been established so quickly, but Li Shimin could not get the status he deserved, so he launched the Xuanwumen Change.

Li Shimin's Xuanwumen change not only changed his own fate, but also changed the history of the Tang Dynasty, he created the rule of Zhenguan, and brought prosperity to the Tang Dynasty.

Tang Taizong Li Shimin's cultural and martial arts have been talked about and praised since ancient times. The academic circles have positively affirmed his great talent and strategy and his major contributions to Chinese history. Li Shimin was an accomplished politician and military strategist who played a leading role in the struggle against the Sui and Tang dynasties, and the victory of the Xuanwumen Revolution of Taizong of the Tang Dynasty objectively played a positive role in the development of social history in the early Tang Dynasty.

Tang Taizong did not discriminate against ethnic minorities, except for the invasion of the Turks and the use of troops, mainly using Huairou political means to deal with ethnic issues, with proper methods and enlightened policies, which were conducive to national unity and national unity.
