Why didn t Li Shimin kill Li Yuan after the Xuanwumen Change?

As we all know, the Xuanwumen Rebellion ended in the complete victory of the King of Qin, and Li Shimin killed his elder brother Li Jiancheng and younger brother Li Yuanji. So why did you leave your own Laozi Li Yuan? The main thing is to make a smooth transition of power, and to leave a good reputation for being appointed as the crown prince and ascending to the Ninth Five-Year Supreme.

1.Li Yuan compromised on the spot and stabilized the situation, otherwise, he would definitely die in the chaos.

After the Xuanwu Gate was bloody, the fierce and vicious Wei Chi Gong (who later became the door god was this master) put on armor and led the armed forces to break into the harem to see Li Yuan, after stating the incident, Li Yuan knew that the four sons had gone to three (the third son Xuanba had already left), and the spirit had already stepped down, and the fierce god lieutenant was late to enter the harem, indicating that the resistance was hopeless, so he made a compromise and took the initiative to give in. If the order is given to resist to the end, it will certainly be a different situation.

2.Li Yuan saw that the wind made the rudder's ability work.

Li Yuan, a political master, took the initiative to appoint Li Shimin as the crown prince, and this was the goal of Li Shimin's d'état. The wish has come true, there is no need to make the world panic, killing Li Yuan will cause social unrest, and the bloodshed is also something that King Qin does not want to see.

3.The biggest and fundamental reason lies in the fact that Li Shimin is an outstanding politician whose political acumen has played a decisive role.

After Li Yuan's attitude changed, Li Shimin's ability to adapt to changes was prominently displayed, and he burst into tears"Suck on the breasts"In order to show intimacy, show their helplessness to the fullest, and there is another layer of meaning, so that everyone in the world knows that if I am the prince of Qin, I will definitely be filial to my father, this move of killing two birds with one stone, has the effect of surrendering without a fight, such superb political means have predicted that the king of Qin is extraordinary, and he will create it with his own hands in the future"The rule of Zhenguan"It's proof.

Why didn't Li Shimin kill Li Yuan after the Xuanwumen Incident?

The first reason: the need for the legitimacy of the regime, that is, orthodoxy. ......You can't kill the king, kill the father, usurp the throne, ......

Li Shimin killed his brother and brother through the change of Xuanwumen, and forced his father to give in, and succeeded to the throne of Tang Taizong.

Tang Taizong Li Shimin, as an outstanding emperor, is rich in strategy, proficient in power, and created a rare situation of governance in China's imperial era for more than 20 years - "Zhenguan rule", which laid the foundation for the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty.

Therefore, Li Shimin's refusal to kill Li Yuanshi is to show his filial piety image and win the hearts of the people of the world, which is of positive and important significance to the smooth transition of the regime in the future!

Killing Li Yuan is really guilty of unfilial piety and injustice, and some people may use this name to oppose him in the future. Li Shimin knew that Li Yuan was his own son, so the throne could only be given to himself, so he left Li Yuan, and by the way, Li Yuan also helped Li Shimin to settle his words for the sake of face, and admitted that Li Jiancheng wanted to rebel against Li Shimin in legitimate defense.

In order to win the hearts and minds of the people. In ancient times, filial piety was particularly important, and not killing Li Yuan was also to prove that he was filial and would not lose the hearts of the people.

Because Li Yuan is Li Shimin's father, if Li Shimin kills Li Yuan, he will be charged with a lifetime of crimes, so Li Shimin will not kill Li Yuan after the Xuanwumen Change.

Because Li Yuan and Li Shimin are both related by blood, Li Shimin did not kill Li Yuan in terms of blood relationship. But Li Shimin has been sending people to supervise Li Yuan until the moment of death.

Because there is no need to kill Li Yuan, Li Yuan has abdicated to him, and he got what he wants, so there is no need to kill him and bear the reputation of killing his father.

The Xuanwumen Rebellion was a coup d'état launched by Li Shimin in Xuanwumen in Chang'an in 626, killing his elder brother Li Jiancheng and younger brother Li Yuanji. According to historical records, because Li Shimin's power gradually expanded, and with the assistance of the eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling and others, the crown prince Li Jiancheng felt threatened. When Tang Gaozu Li Yuan took Li Shimin and Li Yuanji out, the crown prince Li Jiancheng joined forces with Yang Wengan and others to seek power and usurp the throne.

However, due to Yang Wengan's subordinates reporting to Li Yuan, the rebellion failed. In order to keep the position of the crown prince, Li Jiancheng apologized to Li Yuan and begged for forgiveness. Li Yuan, who was very angry, wanted to abolish Li Jiancheng's crown prince and establish Li Shimin as the crown prince.

Yang Wenjian saw that the matter was revealed and decided to rebel immediately. Li Yuan asked Li Shimin to quell the rebellion, and promised to make Li Shimin the crown prince after the rebellion was put down.

Li Shimin led his army to quell the rebellion and killed Yang Wengan. When he wanted to remind Li Yuan to fulfill his promise, Li Yuan repented, he played the art of balancing, and because of Li Shimin's strength, he still made Li Jiancheng the crown prince. At this time, Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng were already on the same page, Li Shimin was afraid that after Li Jiancheng inherited the throne, he would worry about his life, and the eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling and others also advised Li Shimin to strike first.

Later, Li Shimin launched the Xuanwumen Rebellion.

After Li Shimin successfully launched the Xuanwumen Rebellion, Li Shimin has become a person who kills his brothers and has no benevolence. Although Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji were killed, Li Yuan still has imperial relatives like Li Xiaogong and others who hold military power, if Li Shimin kills Li Yuan, then those royal families will inevitably support Li Yuan and deal with Li Shimin together. Another reason is that Li Yuan's rudder is the rudder.

After Li Shimin's rebellion was successful, Li Yuan found an excuse to give Li Shimin the power and became the emperor with peace of mind, and made Li Shimin the crown prince and Zen in Li Shimin. Li Shimin not only arranged many of his own people in the imperial court, but also completely purged the remnants of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, Li Shimin directly controlled the overall situation, and there was no other resistance force in the court. Li Yuan was no longer able to return to the sky.

After the Xuanwumen Change, Li Shimin occupied a beautiful sister-in-law, why didn't he kill his father Li Yuan "Qin Emperor Han Wu, Tang Dynasty Song Zu" should be regarded as representing the highest level of ancient Chinese emperors, among them, Tang Taizong Li Shimin should be a highly respected emperor, as the son of Tang Gaozu Li Yuan, he helped his father establish the Tang Dynasty, and was later named King of Qin, and inherited Li Yuan's throne.

It is because Li Shimin has always had very strong ambitions, and he wants to make himself emperor, probably because Li Yuan grabbed Li Shimin's handle.

The reason why Li Yuan did not transfer troops to kill Li Shimin at the time of the Xuanwumen Revolution was because Li Yuancheng promised that Li Shimin would make him the emperor at that time, but after the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, he chose to set up his eldest son as the crown prince, which caused some guilt, and it was also because Li Shimin had already killed his two brothers when he launched the Xuanwumen Change, and he didn't want to lose another child.

Because Li Shimin already had military power at that time, and many generals listened to him. There is no point in doing so.

Now Li Shimin is his son after all, and Li Yuan also saw Li Shimin's talent at that time.
