Li Yuan was resourceful and decisive when he founded the Tang Dynasty, but ignored the struggle for

It's just a book for the so-called victors. Li Yuan had a lesson from the past, and neither the motive nor the consensus at the time existed to let the prince have the idea of seizing the heir. After the Yang Wengan incident, Li Shimin exposed his ambition to seize the heir, and gradually became an outcast.

It is also because Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng's father and son properly handled Li Shimin's usurpation incident from the strategic perspective of politicians, but Li Shimin used family affection to achieve his goal by means of destroying human nature. It is also because Li Shimin interfered with the original records of the history books that it is easy for people to misinterpret them. After all, Gou Jing can create a scholarly character with a few words, not to mention Li Shimin, who has the right to speak.

Li Yuan's hacking and misreading is a high probability event.

Because they are all his sons-in-law, each of his sons likes them, and no matter which son becomes the emperor in the future, he is his son.

Li Yuan allowed his son to compete for the throne mainly to prevent his son from threatening his position, and he eventually overestimated his control over the court and the army.

Li Yuan originally wanted to use Li Shimin to contain Li Jiancheng, but he didn't expect that in the end, both parties would be uncontrollable, and in the end he could only be a peacemaker, or simply turn a blind eye and let them care.

Li Yuan had long known about the struggle for the throne between his sons, and he did not ignore it, but remained neutral. The eldest son is the eldest son, and Li Shimin has great talents. Li Yuan is powerless.

Because Li Yuan's area was already too large at that time, he no longer had the heart to care about the competition for the throne of his sons, so he let them go and let them rely on their own strength to take the throne.

Because he acts in the middle of this, he acts as a kind of muddy attitude, and neither side disposes of it, and maintains a habit of neutrality. The primary purpose of doing this, of course, is the greatness of father's love, and he is reluctant to punish any son, the only thing he didn't expect was that he had already seen a cruel ending before his death.

The reason why Li Yuan, the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty, was far less than Li Shimin's sense of existence was mainly due to two reasonsThe first is that Li Yuan's achievements were not as good as Li Shimin when the Li Tang Dynasty was established, and the second is that Li Shimin's historical influence was greater than Li Yuan's. It can be said that although Li Yuan is Tang Gaozu, because Li Shimin is too dazzling, Li Yuan's sense of existence seems a little weak.

1. When Li Tang was established, Li Yuan's merits were not as good as Li Shimin's

To know,In the war to establish the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin was always on the front line of the war, commanded many very important battles, and made great achievements for Li Tang, such as breaking the Western Qin, destroying Liu Wuzhou, defeating Dou Jiande, eradicating Wang Shichong, etc. Although Li Yuan has also won many battles, his achievements are far from Li Shimin's, and he has even suffered a lot of defeats. Therefore, if you compare the records of the two, you will find that Li Shimin's contribution to the establishment of the Li Tang Dynasty is much greater than that of Li Yuan.

Second, Li Shimin's historical influence is greater than that of Li Yuan

From the point of view of historical influence,Li Shimin's Zhenguan rule did bring the Tang Dynasty to a very prosperous point, becoming one of the most powerful countries in the world at that time, and a series of reforms carried out by Li Shimin also succeeded in putting the lives of the Tang Dynasty people on the right track, which also made him loved and praised by the people. What's more, the evaluation of Li Shimin by later generations is mainly positive, and at the same time affirms his contribution to the Tang Dynasty after succeeding to the throne. Although Li Yuan also promulgated many measures beneficial to the people after becoming emperor, because his reign was too short, and the Tang Dynasty did not completely end the war during his reign, Li Yuan's ruling achievements were far less dazzling than Li Shimin's.

Under such circumstances, Li Shimin's historical influence is naturally greater than Li Yuan's.

In general, the reason why Li Yuan's sense of existence is not as strong as Li Shimin's is because, on the one hand, Li Yuan's merits are not as good as Li Shimin's when Li Tang was established, and on the other hand, because Li Shimin's historical influence is greater than Li Yuan's.

It is because Li Yuan did not make much achievements during his reign, he was a king who defended the city, and he did not reign for a long time, and there are relatively few records of him in history, compared to Li Shimin, his sense of existence is indeed very low.

Because Li Shimin is really powerful, he is not only very smart and capable, but also strong in martial arts, and his road to the throne is very difficult, so his sense of existence is very strong, much stronger than Li Yuan.

It may be due to the relatively short reign of Li Yuan and the fact that he did not make outstanding contributions to the Tang Dynasty, which led to the fact that his popularity was not particularly high.

Even if Li Yuan didn't want to pass on the throne to Li Shimin, there was no way to find a more suitable candidate than Li Shimin, so he could only give up the throne to Li Shimin, and there was no other choice. In general, although he has other sons, these sons are inferior to Li Shimin in terms of ability and fame, so Li Shimin is the most suitable person to inherit the throne. In this way, for Li Yuan, passing on the throne to Li Shimin is naturally the best choice he can make.

Because Li Shimin launched the Xuanwumen Rebellion and killed Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, Li Yuan's abdication was not voluntary, but was forced by Li Shimin to abdicate. Even if Li Yuan didn't want to, it was useless.

Because Li Yuan's sister-in-law was left with only Li Shimin, Li Yuan's other two sons were killed by Li Shimin, and the other sons were concubines who did not have the right to inherit.

There are so many sons of Tang Gaozu Li Yuan, why are there only three people vying for the throne? Here's why:

First, because of their age, only these three have the conditions to compete for the throne, why are there so many sons in the life of the other children, Shangxiao Tang Gaozu Li Yuan, but when they are competing for the throne or choosing an heir, they only chooseLi Shimin, Li Jiancheng, Li YuanjiWhat about three candidates to be candidates? Actually, the main reason,The reason why I have to accept it is because except for Li Shimin, Li Jiancheng, and Li Yuanji, the rest of the children are too young, and the oldest is only a person who has just learned to walk. Therefore, there are no conditions for inheritance and competition, so you can only choose from the three.

Second, Li Shimin was anxious to kill the two brothers who were fighting for the throne, and Tang Gaozu was finally forced to choose Li Shimin Second, we all know that the last person to inherit the throne is Li Shimin, so how did Li Shimin win the imperial power? Speaking of which, Li Shimin's operation also made everyone sighIn order to successfully get the throne, Li Shimin chose to kill his elder brother and younger brother successively in order to compete for unnecessary reasonsIn addition to these two, the other younger brothers Li Shimin, who is still young and does not have the conditions to compete, have not moved at all. And such a result is difficult for Tang Gaozu Li Yuan to accept, but he has to accept itIn the end, Li Shimin won the inheritance of imperial power.

However, later Tang Gaozu also let go and understood Li Shimin's approach. Because if the three brothers compete at the same time, there will inevitably be infighting in the future, and it will no longer affect the relationship between the brothers, but about the whole country and the world.

Third, Li Yuan had more than 20 sons in his life, and the young, premature Tang Gaozu Li Yuan had more than 20 sons in his life, in fact, in the whole process of competing for the throneMost of the sons are still young and not yet able to compete for the throne, there are more than 20 sons, and some of the sons are too young and die young. So this is why Tang Gaozu Li Yuan has so many sons, but in the end, only these three are fundamentally willing to compete for the throne. I have to say that the infighting for the throne in ancient times is still very embarrassing!

China is an ancient country with a history of 5,000 years of civilization, of course, China also had a lot of dynasties in ancient times, and there will be a problem in these dynasties, that is, when the emperor is about to abdicate, then his son will compete for the throne. So today we are going to talk about Li Yuan, Li Yuan, as the ancestor of the Tang Dynasty, has a lot of sons, but at the end of the time, there are only three princes who compete for the throne.

Understanding the situation of other princes, today we are going to talk about what the reason is, as far as I know, when competing for the throne, Li Yuan's sons only have three princes, and they are qualified to compete for the throne. Then the other princes were qualified to compete in time, and they all lost this opportunity and were incapable. Li Yuan's fifth prince died in 617 AD, and his sixth prince was born in 618, but he was only 8 years old after the Xuanwumen Incident, and at that time he was still young and didn't understand anything, so it was impossible to compete for the throne.

The direction of things and the Tang Gaozu Li Yuan at that time had a certain amount of selfishness, Li Jian became the crown prince at that time, and helped him deal with affairs in the palace, and he was also a representative of the civil official group. ButIt was Li Shimin who was able to lead his troops to battle at that time, and his contribution was also very great, and the people at that time thought that the prince's prestige was not as good as Li Shimin. And at this time, Tang Gaozu Li Yuan was very partial to his son Li Jiancheng, so under his selfishness, Li Jiancheng gradually gained the upper hand and was able to control the situation.

At this time, in order to save the situation, Li Shimin decided to launch a certain resistance, that is, the most desperate blow, and killed his brother and his younger brother in Xuanwumen. In this way, Li Shimin became the new crown prince in the end, and inherited the throne of Tang Gaozu and became the last Tang Taizong. So as for why there are only three people vying for the throne, it is because the other princes have either died or have just been born.

They are not yet capable, they have no chance to fight for this throne.

Because when it came time to compete for the throne, only three emperors (Li Yuan's fourth son, Li Yuanba, who died at the age of sixteen) were eligible to compete for the throne. Li Yuan's fifth son, Li Zhiyun, died in 617 AD, and the sixth son, Li, was born in 618 AD. He was only 8 years old at the time and could not compete for the throne.

It is because only these three people have ideas about the throne, and the others have a relatively kind attitude and have no intentions for the throne, so only these three people compete for the throne.

Because these three were the only ones who were adults and controlled their own power, the other sons were not qualified to participate in the fight.

The original crown prince was Li Jiancheng, and it was originally Li Jiancheng who wanted to get rid of Li Shimin, because Li Shimin's supporters were more than him, but he didn't expect that he was killed by Li Shimin first, and Li Yuan may also be afraid that Li Shimin would have the idea of killing his father, so he gave way first and could still be the emperor.

Li Shimin killed his own brother and brother in order to compete for the throne, and mastered most of the military power, Li Yuan has become the commander of the light pole, and there is no way to give way.

Li Yuan's three sons, the eldest son Li Jiancheng was originally the prince and was killed by Li Shimin in Xuanwumen, and the third son is a simple man, which is not for Li Shimin, and Li Shimin is not bad.

The change in Xuanwumen has clearly let Li Yuan know that Li Shimin's real wings are full, and instead of waiting for Li Shimin to find him, it is better to give way in advance, so that he can be more decent.

is mostly forced to be helpless, Li Shimin already has strength, even if Li Yuan does not give way, Li Shimin has no chance of winning if he rebels.

Because Li Shimin is the most suitable person among his sons to be the emperor, and almost all his other sons are crazy and crazy, only Li Shimin is the only one.

Because Li Yuan was afraid that his son Li Shimin would rebel, he gave the emperor's position to his son, which was also to protect himself.

Because Li Shimin does have this ability, after the change of Xuanwumen, it is better to take the initiative than to let Li Shimin force himself to abdicate.

In the Xuanwumen Change, the crown prince Li Jiancheng and the fourth son Li Yuanji were killed, so the only one with the most capable supporters is Li Shimin, who will Li Yuan pass on to him?

At that time, Li Shimin was the only one who could have a little strength, and that was his own son, couldn't he pass it on to him? Flee the regime yourself and have a good time.
