Li Yuan has 22 sons, why do the three brothers Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin, and Li Yuanji fight the hard

Only these three brothers have power in their hands, so only they have the ability to fight.

The only people who can really get the throne are Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin, and Li Yuanji, and the rest are either still young or dead. Calculate each other for the throne.

Because only these three brothers are adults and are of the same age, the others are very young, and some of them were even born after Li Shimin became emperor.

Li Yuan has 22 sons, why do the three brothers Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin, and Li Yuanji fight the most fiercely?

Li Shimin is known to us as a famous enlightened monarch in history, Li Yuan obviously has four sons, and Li Jiancheng was also made the crown prince, so why was Li Shimin the last to ascend the throne, and what is his superiority, let's talk about it today.

First, the ability is outstanding. At the end of the Sui Dynasty, the imperial court built a lot of buildings, requisitioned a lot of people, resulting in the displacement of many families, the people were miserable, and finally broke out a large-scale peasant uprising, Emperor Yang of Sui was killed by Yu Wenhua in the chaos of the army, at this time the world, without the constraints of the imperial court, has become a mess, the generals of the rebel army have called the king, there are eighteen anti-kings in history, Li Shimin first led the army to capture Luoyang, and helped his father Li Yuan to establish the Tang Dynasty, and then traveled around the country, pacified the seventeen anti-king, laid the foundation for the stability of the Tang Dynasty regime, it can be said that the world is calm, his credit is the greatest, Li Shimin's skills have also been exposed in various wars, and even Li Shimin's reputation is greater than Li Yuan.

Second, preemptive strike. It is precisely because of Li Shimin's super skills that Li Shimin is more popular, as the crown prince Li Jiancheng, his status has been greatly challenged, and even rumors at that time that Li Yuan wanted to abolish Li Jian and establish Li Shimin as the prince, at the same time, Li Yuan was also afraid that Li Shimin's merits would be high and the throne would be unstable, so Li Jiancheng killed Li Shimin and got Li Yuan's tacit approval, so Li Jiancheng set up an ambush in Xuanwumen, but what they didn't know was that the guard general Chang He had long been Li Shimin's henchman, so after learning that Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng wanted to kill themselves, He decided to strike preemptively, actively planned, and finally won the victory of the Xuanwumen Rebellion, the crown prince Li Jiancheng was finally killed, Li Yuan was placed under house arrest, and he ascended to the throne.

3. Light forced labor. He knows that "water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize a boat." Therefore, the people's taxes were greatly reduced, and often went to the "grassroots" to investigate, formulated a series of policies that benefited the country and the people, and the people's living standards improved day by day, so they were supported by the people, and the so-called "those who win the hearts of the people win the world", it is not surprising that he was finally able to become the emperor.

First of all, because among the four sons, Li Shimin is relatively more capable and powerful, and at the same time, he is also more open-minded. But at the same time, it is also very ruthless.

This is due to the fact that Li Yuan's other sons are not particularly competitive, and Li Yuan's eldest son Li Jiancheng had already become the crown prince, but was usurped by Li Shimin in the end.

Li Shimin is very talented and strategic. Through the change of Xuanwumen, Li Shimin gained great power.

This is true, the three brothers Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin and Li Yuanji fought the most fiercely, and Li Yuan's other sons didn't even have a chance to stand in line. They could only look at the three elder brothers with envy, and there was no fight between them. The biggest reason for this is that they are too small.

Li Yuan had 41 children in his lifetime: 19 daughters and 22 sons. It can be said that with so many sons, there will definitely be many people vying for the throne, but Li Yuan's son is an exception.

Li Yuan has very unbalanced children. He first gave birth to his eldest son, Li Chengjian, and then Li Shimin, Li Xuanba, Li Yuanji, and Li Zhiyun. The sons in the front are much older than the 17 sons in the back.

Only Li Yuan's first five sons are likely to participate. The other 17 sons are the oldest under the age of 10. The youngest has not yet been born.

The middle part is still in infancy, so the 17 sons don't need to be taken into account at all.

The battle for the throne is a big event and game for adults. Although Li Yuan has 22 sons, butHe had only four sons, namely Jiancheng, Shimin, Yuanji, and Xuanba。Then the eldest son is Li Zhiyun.

Unfortunately, when Li Yuan raised his army, he was captured and killed in Chang'an. And Xuanba also died early. Therefore, although Li Yuan had 22 sons, during the Wude years, only Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin and Li Yuanji grew up.

The rest are either young or dead. Therefore, after Li Yuan invaded Chang'an in 618 and became emperor, he had only three adult sons, Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin and Li Yuanji, all three of whom were also mothers, all sons of Empress Taimu Dou.

In the end, the 'Xuanwumen Change' occurred, and Li Shimin successfully killed Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji. At this time,Li Yuan's sons, if you don't count Li Shimin, the oldest is only nine years old. Li Yuan had no choice but to let Li Shimin legally inherit the throne.

Of Li Yuan's 22 sons, basically only the three brothers Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin, and Li Yuanji could inherit the throne, and the others had little ability or did not want to get involved in these battles.

Li Yuan is also a person, the founding monarch of the Tang Dynasty, and he is also a monarch who is thought to be degraded in history, his brilliance is not as good as his son Li Shimin, because his reign is very short, but if he did not rise up against the Sui and establish the Tang Dynasty, and lay a solid foundation for the Tang Dynasty, we can say that there may not be Li Shimin's brilliant rule.

Although he has a lot of sons, these three may be the most capable, so the three of them are the most fierce.

Because these three sons are outstanding, they all have selfish intentions, and they all want to be emperors, so they fight fiercely.

Because only the three of them are the best, they are most likely to sit in that position, and the others are either incapable or have no ideas.

Because there are regulations, only those born in the main family can inherit the throne, Li Shimin is too, many sons, only the son of the eldest grandson queen is eligible to inherit the throne, Li Shimin does not consider others when choosing the heir, just choose which one is suitable among the sons of the eldest grandson queen...

Because of Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin, only the two of them can be emperors, and Li Yuanji helped Li Jiancheng become emperors.

The rest of the sons still have a lot of shortcomings, and then there will be such an ending, after all, there is still a gap.

Because these three sons are very capable. That's why the fight is so fierce.

There are also a few that he gave birth to when he was the emperor, and it doesn't affect the result.

Just one reason, because they are both Li Yuan's eldest sons.

In the early days of the Tang Dynasty,We only know that Li Yuan has three sonsOn the one hand, Li Yuan established the Tang Dynasty, at that time, his three sons can be said to have made outstanding military exploits, among which Li Shimin can be said to be the best, and Li Yuan's love is unique, but Li Yuan's other two sons will definitely not be outdone. The power in the hands of this can be said to be absolutely representative, in this environment at that timeWhoever has more power in their hands, whoever has the possibility of inheriting Li Yuan's throne, naturally the brothers fight the hardest, and Li Yuan's other sons are not at all ranked, and they do not have the absolute right to fight with the three of them.

Later famous historical eventsThe change of Xuanwu GateIt is a strong proof of this problem, Li Shimin because of the power in his hands is too big, but as the eldest son, Li Jiancheng must be not to be outdone, in his heart it can be said that he is already a candidate for the prince, and at the same time he is already the prince, and Li Shimin because he has been reused by the emperor, it can be said that he has challenged his authority, and only by making the first move can it be possible to keep his throne. In the end, Li Shimin killed Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, and successfully became the emperor. There is another reason that is personal reasons, Li Shimin has the world in mind, has his own ideals, and loves the people like a son, but his brothers Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji are not such people, especially his eldest brother Li Jiancheng has always been just for his own selfish interests, rather than trying to change himself.

Naturally, over time, he became jealous of Li Shimin, causing the three brothers to meet each other in the end.

The class interests represented by the three are inherently different, which eventually led to such a result. Therefore, some personal opinions on such a historical issue may be a little biased, but we must look at this issue dialectically, so that we can have different views and get different answers.

Because only these three sons have the desire to fight for power, the other sons feel that this thing does not matter.

Because only the three of them are the most prominent, not all princes have the ability to compete for the throne, and some died as early as childhood.

Li Shimin, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji were all born to the queen at that time, so the three of them were also the most qualified to inherit the throne in the future, and Li Yuan's other children were too young.

Because at that time, Li Yuan was only an adult, and the others were either young and ignorant, or they wanted to fight for the lack of that ability, or died early.

Because the other sons do not have such a great desire for power, and these three sons are different, they have the ability and ambition, so they will fight.

Because only these three sons have a desire for this one, the other sons have little interest in this position and are too lazy to fight.

Because the other sons may not have such strong ambitions for the throne, and those three sons are also very good, they can already discourage the other sons.

In ancient times, it was still very important to pay attention to the distinction between concubines and concubines, and these three were all born by the queen at that time, so the three of them were also the most qualified to inherit the throne in the future.

These three sons have support, and they also have ambitions. The other sons don't have a strong backstage, and their abilities are definitely not as strong as these three.

This problem is that the ** and TV series that have been taken away have become mainstream. In the case of a clear legal heir, there is no question of who the heir will compete with, which is the same in ancient and modern China and abroad. Therefore, in fact, there is only one answer, it is only Li Shimin, the king of Qin, who seeks power and usurps the throne.

It's just that as a victor, the sibling rivalry is used as a pretext to confuse the public. Later generations accepted this statement based on Li Shimin's performance. After all, for ordinary people, history must assume an edifying significance.

If you dig deeper, it is not suitable for most people.

Because when competing for the throne, only 3 princes (Li Yuan's fourth son, Li Yuanba, died at the age of sixteen) were eligible to compete for the throne. Li Yuan's fifth son, Li Zhiyun, died in 617 AD, while his sixth son, Li Yuanjing, was born in 618 AD and was only 8 years old at the time of the Xuanwumen Revolution (626).

After Tang Gaozu Li Yuan ascended the throne, Li Jiancheng became the crown prince, stationed in the palace to handle affairs, and was the representative of the civil official group. Li Shimin was the king of Qin, and he continued to lead the military general group to lead the troops to the battle, and the credit was also the greatest. The crown prince knew that his military exploits and prestige were inferior to those of the people, and he was jealous, so he united with his younger brother Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, to squeeze out and frame Li Shimin together; At the same time, Li Shimin's group also refused to accept the prince, and the two sides continued to fight openly and secretly.

After a long struggle, under the favoritism of Li Yuan, Li Jiancheng's group gradually gained the upper hand and controlled the situation, in order to save the situation, finally Li Shimin fought for his life, and killed his eldest brother Li Jiancheng and his fourth brother Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, in Xuanwumen, Li Shimin forced Tang Gaozu Li Yuan to establish himself as the new crown prince, and inherited the emperor's throne, which was for Tang Taizong, and the year name Zhenguan.

Although Li Yuan had so many sons, only three of them participated in the battle for the throne, and the reason for this was that when the battle for the throne was at that time, the age of each surviving prince was relatively young, and only these few were the same age.

Tang Gaozong Li Yuan was born during the Sui Dynasty and went through the reign of Emperor Wen of Sui and Emperor Yang of Sui. Li Yuan's family was illustrious, his mother was the sister of Empress Yang Jian, Emperor Wen of Sui, and he was very talented, strategic, intelligent and quick-witted, so he was deeply loved by Emperor Wen of Sui and Empress Wenwen. Until the reign of Emperor Yang of Sui, the people were in dire straits, and an uprising broke out.

At this time, Li Yuan finally decided to raise troops and wanted to compete in the world.

At this time, Li Yuan only had five sons, the first four of which were born from the same mother, that is, the well-known Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin, Li Xuanba and Li Yuanji, and the fifth son Li Zhiyun was a concubine. Moreover, when Li Yuan had just started his army, the Sui Dynasty arrested Li Zhiyun and was finally killed, when he was only fourteen years old. Therefore, only his four sons-in-law remained, and they were also the sons with the most inheritance rights.

These sons-in-law followed Li Yuan to fight and seize the world, but unfortunately, the third son Li Xuanba also died before Li Yuan established the Tang Dynasty. So when Li Yuan established the Tang Dynasty, his sons only had three sons: Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin and Li Yuanji. In fact, in the year when Li Yuan established the Tang Dynasty, another son was born, but this son was still young.

At the time of the Xuanwumen Change, Li Yuan had just succeeded to the throne for nine years, although after he became the emperor, he also gave birth to many sons. But compared to these three sons, not only are they still young, but they also have no merit qualifications, and the most important problem is that these three sons are all sons-in-law. To sum up, these three sons are the most qualified people to fight for the throne.
