Li Yuan had so many sons, why did only three of them participate in the Xuanwumen Change?

Because at that time, only these three sons were qualified to participate in the competition for the position of the Son of HeavenSo only these three sons participated in the Xuanwumen Rebellion.

The Xuanwumen Revolution was destined to be an indelible coup d'état in the history of the Tang DynastyIt was precisely because of this political turmoil that Li Shimin really became Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, and this political turmoil finally made the Li Tang Dynasty develop steadily under the leadership of Li Shimin. According to the history books, the change of Xuanwumen can be described as very difficult, and there were not many people under Li Shimin, but with courage and suddenness, he directly killed Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji. forced Li Yuan back.

There are capable people living in the world, and this is in troubled times, a core idea of the rebels. Maybe Li Shimin thought the same way in his heart, after all, his father Li Yuan thought so at the time, and then became the founding king of the Tang Dynasty. Li Shimin, who followed Li Yuan's southern expedition to the north, made many meritorious achievements, which also made his ambitions continue to grow, resulting in Li Shimin, who had military support in the early Tang Dynasty, unwilling to be only a vassal king, and wanted to compete for the position of the Son of Heaven.

In fact, Li Shimin is after the Son of Heaven, There are also some slanders against his elder brother Li Jiancheng, we can now look at it from the perspective of today, Li Yuan cultivated Li Jiancheng completely in accordance with the method of cultivating heirs at that time, and most of the people around Li Shimin were transferred or handed over to Li Jiancheng, which is completely the cultivation of heirs. In fact, in addition to Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng's Xuanwumen Change, there was also a Li Yuanji involved, he was Li Shimin's younger brother, but he was not young, but he was Li Jiancheng's close comrade-in-arms, so Li Shimin killed him.

Li Yuan actually has many sons, but at that time, he was not very old, so he couldn't participate, the change of Xuanwumen.

Because the power at that time was mainly in the hands of Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin, and Li Shimin wanted the throne very much, and Li Yuanji was about the same age as them, so he naturally wanted to fight for it, and Li Yuan's other sons were very young and could not participate.

The nine sons of Longsheng are different, although there are many sons, not everyone is competitive, just a few stand out, more ambitious, one prince, on the cusp, one is heroic and invincible, and the other is ambitious.

Because Li Jiancheng is the crown prince, the throne will be his, so naturally there is no need to participate. In fact, except for the three brothers Li Shimin, Li Yuan's other sons were very young and did not have the mature mind to participate in this coup, only the mature eldest son Li Jiancheng and the fourth son Li Yuanji were brutally killed by Li Shimin.

Because judging from their age and the power at that time, only these three people had the strength to compete for the emperor.

The other sons either died of illness, or were given death, beheaded, or killed by suicide, and in the end there were only three sons left.

Because Li Shimin was already in charge of the army at that time, and he also had a high reputation in the army, so people with a stiff spine did not dare to resist Li Shimin's orders, and they were also afraid of Li Shimin, so no one resisted at all, so no one supported Li Yuan.

Because he had no mass base, and at that time he had lost the control of the court or concealed the court, and there was cronyism, and everyone at that time took refuge in Li Shimin, so no one supported him.

Li Yuan has several sons, and his favorite is his youngest son Li Yuanying, and Li Yuanying's brothers also care for him. Li Yuanying has been loved by thousands of people since he was a child, and he is a bad boy. Li Yuanying did not pose a threat to Li Shimin, so Li Shimin chose to let Li Yuanying go after killing his brother and nephew.

Li Yuanying has a stubborn personality, and Li Shimin also condones him and acquiesces in his behavior. As long as it doesn't threaten his throne, let him make trouble. When Li Yuanying went to **, the people of ** had a hard time.

Because Li Yuanying has a bad character, he is greedy for beauty and likes gold, silver and jewelry. The emperor is his elder brother, and he naturally does whatever he wants.

Li Shimin transferred Li Yuanying to Shandong, and he thought that Li Yuanying would increase taxes privately for his own pleasure, which made the people complain. Li Shimin was also very speechless about this, and transferred him to another place, who knew that he was still easy to change his nature, and he still went his own way, and the people had great opinions.

Li Yuanying also fell in love with someone else's wife, and deceived others into his own house, that woman actually had a little martial arts and beat Li Yuanying severely.

The reason why Li Shimin let Li Yuanying go in the Xuanwumen Incident was not because of the so-called brotherhood, but because Li Yuanying's character was corrupt, and no one in the court supported him. So Li Shimin is willing to indulge Li Yuanying all the time and let him continue like this.

In fact, Li Yuanying also has merits, Li Yuanying is very talented in painting butterflies, and even has his own family, Li Shimin is very supportive of his interests.

The reason why Li Shimin launched the Xuanwumen Rebellion was just to get the throne, he didn't want to be like Emperor Yang of Sui and kill all his relatives and friends.

Li Shimin and his younger brother Li Yuanying have always had a good relationship, and he was very young at that time, so he couldn't pose a threat to himself, so he would spare his life.

Because Li Yuanying pretended to be very ridiculous, he acted like a gentleman, and squandered money and had no intention of entering politics, so that Li Shimin gave up his vigilance and let him go.

Li Yuanying was born during the reign of Emperor Li Yuan, born in 630, Xuanwumen was changed in 626, and Li Yuantai gave birth to more than 10 children during the time of Emperor Li Yuan.

In order to forcibly seize the throne, Li Shimin did not hesitate to kill his brother and brother, which is already a big rebellion. If you continue to fight Li Yuanying, the younger brother of the killer Endless Iron and the power of the chicken, even if the historian can tolerate Li Shimin, future generations will say that Li Shimin is a tyrant who is in power and does not recognize his six relatives. Therefore, Li Shimin needs to understand the truth of becoming a king and defeating a king, but he still retains a little humanity, and he doesn't want to be abused by the world after death.

Sick? Li Yuan's 22 sons, Xuanwumen Li Shimin killed Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, and the others except for those who died early are alive and well. Li Shimin is not a murderer, why should he kill them. Besides, Li Yuanying was born in Zhenguan for four years, so it's not brainless for you to ask this kind of question.

Because Li Yuan's youngest son was still a baby at that time, Li Shimin would not kill him, and he had not yet reached the level of madness.

Because Li Shimin saw that Li Yuan's favorite son was still young, he didn't think he was a threat, and it was not too late to do it later.

Because the youngest son is too young, on the one hand, Li Shimin can't bear to kill him, if Li Shimin kills him, there will definitely be a lot of controversy.

Because at the time of the Xuanwumen Change, he was not yet born. After Li Shimin became emperor, Emperor Taishang gave birth to two more sons.

Because this is a newborn baby, Li Shimin's Xuanwumen Rebellion had already killed his own brother, and if he did anything to Li Yuanying at this time, he would definitely lose the hearts of the people.

Because Li Yuanying is his most beloved son, and Li Shimin is also Li Yuanying's brother, after the Xuanwumen Change, Li Shimin is no longer in the mood to kill him.

Because Li Yuan was just a baby back then, Li Shimin couldn't bear to kill him, if he did, he would be criticized

Li Yuanying, the king of Teng, was still very young at that time.

Because Li Yuan was already the emperor at that time, if Li Shimin wanted to ascend the throne, he would have to wait until after Li Yuan's death, and in terms of Li Shimin's character, he would definitely not be able to wait so long, so he had to kill his brother.

Tang Gaozu Li Yuan took the initiative to abdicate, which was just a beautification of Tang Gaozu Li Shimin. If Li Yuan didn't take the initiative to abdicate, he would end up with the same fate as his two sons in minutes. Because the real purpose of Li Shimin's Xuanwumen Revolution was not to kill his brother and force the palace, but to kill his father and seize the throne, it was impossible for the ambitious Li Shimin to wait for his father to inherit the throne after a hundred years.

Because Li Yuan was already the emperor at that time, Li Shimin killed his brother to tell Li Yuan that there were no other sons, so he could only make me the crown prince.

The truth of the Xuanwumen Revolution is indeed not that the brothers turned against each other, but the fight between Li Yuan and Li Shimin, that is, Li Shimin in order to seize power.

The lessons of the Sui dynasty are well known, and after each dynasty ends, the successor emperor must reflect on the reasons for the destruction of the previous dynasty and avoid it himself, so as not to repeat it. Looking back at Chinese history, this cycle of learning lessons and creating new mistakes is something that is repeated in every dynasty.

I don't think this statement can be wrong, nor can it be wrong. After all, no one will know what happened back then. Moreover, Li Yuan was the emperor at that time, and Li Shimin must have rebelled.

Yes, because if Li Yuan had made Li Shimin the crown prince, there would have been no bloody coup d'état, but because of summing up the historical lessons of the Sui Dynasty, Li Shimin's ambitions were too big, and Li Jiancheng himself was not bad. So there was no Li Shimin.

The sentiment of a generation of Mingjun is concerned about the world and the world in mind.

After the Xuanwumen Rebellion, Li Yuan was forced to abdicate by force sent by Li Shimin. After that, Li Yuan was moved to the Taiji Palace, almost isolated from the outside world.

He was imprisoned. Although Li Shiming did not kill himself, he was also restricted from his activities.
