What is the ending of the father son partners Li Yuan and Li Shimin, who once teamed up against Sui?

After <> Li Shimin's Xuanwumen Change, Li Yuan saw a reality clearly, that is, in order to inherit the throne, Li Shimin could do whatever it took to do anything, Li Yuan considered that he had lost the crown prince Li Jiancheng at that time, and he didn't want to lose another of his own biological sons, so that there would be no successor to the Tang Dynasty in the future, so Li Yuan thought about it again and again, and took the initiative to abdicate. From this point of view, in Li Yuan's heart, this kind of family affection that blood is thicker than water is still more important than fame and fortune. And Li Shimin does not seem to have a moral limit like his father.

As long as he thinks about something, he wants to dominate it for himself. Even his father's woman, Wu Zetian, did not let go. <>

After the abdication, Li Yuan was named Emperor Taishang and still lived in the Taiji Palace. Although he lived in Taiji Palace, he lived a very bleak life in his later years, because Li Shimin was afraid that he would try to restore in vain, so he arranged a lot of eyes and ears around him, saying that it was a kind of luxurious house arrest, I think it is not an exaggeration. Between the father and the son, in front of the imperial power, it became brittle as tissue paper.

Therefore, Li Yuan has been famous and powerless in the past nine years, and he has lived a rather aggrieved nine years. <>

When Li Shimin was young, he was still a relatively enlightened emperor, and during his reign, the society was very stable and the country was also very strong, which was called the rule of Zhenguan. But in his later years, because his health began to be not very good, and he coveted the kind of imperial power that the world was all mine, he naturally wanted to live longer, preferably immortal. So, I began to listen to a lot of folk witchcraft and became obsessed with Taoist elixir.

But God did not fulfill people's wishes, and when he was 52 years old, he died of the elixir he was most obsessed with. In this world, there are a lot of paradoxes. The more you fear something, the more you will encounter it.

The more you cling to something, the more you will be controlled by it. Perhaps, it is what Taoists call yin and yang.

The ending of Li Yuan and Li Shimin was to create the world of the Li family and the Tang Dynasty.

Li Yuan and Li Shimin, father and son, also quarreled over who would be the emperor. At the beginning, Li Yuan didn't want to oppose the Sui, but Li Shimin persuaded him to oppose the Sui, indicating that his son was more heroic than Lao Tzu.

Later, in the anti-Sui uprising, Li Shimin's prestige rose wave after wave, and Li Yuan felt a little uncontrollable. The two fathers and sons were destined to be in the emperor's seat, and there was to be a vicious fight.

In order to restrain Li Shimin, Li Yuan made Li Jiancheng the crown prince, so as to contain Li Shimin on the battlefield and in the court. It's a pity that Li Shimin's eyes have already seen through all this.

History records that Li Jiancheng poisoned Li Shimin many times, but to no avail. Li Shimin fought back, and finally killed his brother and killed his brother, and forced his father Li Yuan to sign and kill his brothers' sons (Li Yuan's own grandsons).

Think about it, what is Li Yuan's mood? This Li Shimin is also unscrupulous for the throne, not to mention a little family affection. Li Yuan saw that the general trend had gone, so it was better to abdicate and save his life. Facts have proved that Li Yuan still has foresight, be a carefree emperor, and die a righteous death.

This is because he has a very strong opinion about the rule of the Sui Dynasty, and he feels that the rule of the Sui Dynasty has interfered with the development of the Society and caused a very unfair phenomenon to the society, so he rebelled.

The times create heroes, the world is against Sui, the troubled times have arrived, Li Yuan is also a last resort to a large extent, coupled with the instigation of the people around him and the imminent danger of killing, he will not rebel in the world if he does not search for the old man. Contained.

Maybe because Li Yuan couldn't get used to Emperor Wen of Sui's approach, he was very brutal and made the people miserable, and he wanted the people to live a good life.

At that time, the Sui Dynasty was full of heroes, and it couldn't last long.

Take advantage of the trend and follow the trend.

Li Yuan originally made a history of assassination, and at the beginning of Emperor Yang of Sui's accession to the throne, he was the Taishou of Xingyang (now Xingyang, Henan) and Loufu (now Jingle County, Shanxi), and later served as the young eunuch in the palace and the Shaoqing of the guard. In 613 A.D. (the ninth year of the Great Cause), when Emperor Yang of Sui conquered Goguryeo, Li Yuan supervised the transportation of grain and grass in Huaiyuan Town. At this time, Yang Xuangan took advantage of the people's anger to raise troops against Sui, and later failed.

During this period, Li Yuan was ordered to guard Honghua County (now Qingyang County, Gansu), and made friends with heroes all over the world, but was suspected by Emperor Yang of Sui. In 615, he was transferred to Shanxi and Hedong, and when he arrived at Longmen, he encountered the peasant uprising of Muduan'er, and Li Yuan led his troops to defeat the rebel army, recruiting more than 10,000 people, and his strength increased greatly. In the second year, he was promoted to the general of the Right Xiaowei and served as the pacification ambassador of Taiyuan Province.

In 611 A.D. (the seventh year of the Great Cause), peasant uprisings continued in various places, and there were nearly 200 anti-Sui rebel armies in the country. Later, three main forces were gradually formed, namely the Hebei Rebel Army led by Dou Jiande, the Jianghuai Rebel Army led by Du Fuwei, and the Wagang Army led by Li Mi and Zhai Rang.

In July 617 (the thirteenth year of the Great Cause), Li Yuan led an army of 30,000 troops and officially started the army. In the published text, he reprimanded Emperor Yang of Sui for listening to slander, killing Zhongliang, and recklessly using force, causing public resentment to boil, and "jackals filling the road", therefore, Li Yuan wanted to abolish Emperor Yang of Sui, respect him as the emperor, and then support Yang Yu, the acting king, as the emperor. In fact, this is just a strategy of Li Yuan to call on the world, and when the time is ripe, he will become emperor himself.

Emperor Wen of Sui, Yang Jian, not only had a personal vendetta with Li Yuan, but also with Li Yuan's wife, Empress Dou (the niece of Emperor Wu of Zhou, Yuwen Yong).

Li Yuan's father, Li Yu, was the general of the Zhu State of the Northern Zhou Dynasty and was titled the Duke of Tang. When Li Yuan was seven years old, his father died, and Emperor Wu of Zhou, Yuwen Yong, decreed that Li Yuan should inherit the title of Duke of Tang. Emperor Wu of Zhou Yuwen Yong died young, and his son did not like the government and passed the throne to Yuwen Yan (the grandson of Yuwen Yong), known as Emperor Jing of Zhou.

During the period of Emperor Jing of Zhou, Yang Jian, as a foreign relative, became the prime minister of the Northern Zhou Dynasty to control the government and plot to usurp power.

Li Yuan's fourth uncle Li Zhang (grandfather of Jiangxia King Li Daozong, great-grandfather of Princess Wencheng), was the assassin of Liangzhou in the Northern Zhou Dynasty at that time, in order to revitalize the Northern Zhou Dynasty, he united with Zhao Wang Yu Wenyou and plotted to get rid of Yang Jian, but the matter was revealed, and Li Zhang and Yu Wenyou were both killed by Yang Jian.

In the year of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, in 581 AD, Yang Jian forced the 8-year-old Zhou Jing Emperor Yuwen Yanchan to give the throne to him, known as Emperor Wen of Sui. After that, Emperor Wen of Sui Emperor Yang Jian killed Yuwen Xian and killed all the male members of the Northern Zhou royal family. At that time, Li Yuan was only 15 years old, and because his aunt was the Dugu Empress of Emperor Wen of Sui, she was not implicated and became Emperor Wen of Sui's Qianniu Beishen (the emperor's military attache of the Janissaries).

Later, when Tang Guogong Li Yuan reached the age of marriage, it coincided with Dou Yi and Princess Xiangyang of the Northern Zhou Dynasty to choose a husband for their daughter Dou, Li Yuan was selected because of his superb archery skills, and won the marriage of Dou, the daughter of Princess Xiangyang, and later gave birth to Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin and other brothers and sisters. When Yang Jian killed the male members of the Northern Zhou royal family, Dou cried: "Hate me for not being a man, in order to avenge my uncle's revenge", Dou Yi and Princess Xiangyang hurriedly covered their daughter Dou's mouth and said:

Don't talk nonsense, it will cause a disaster".

Li Yuan was born in an aristocratic family in the Northern Zhou Dynasty and was crowned the Duke of Tang at the age of seven. After Emperor Yang of Sui ascended the throne, Li Yuan successively served as the Taishou of the two counties of Xingyang (now Zhengzhou, Henan) and Loufu (now Jingle, Shanxi). Later, he was called to be the young eunuch in the palace, and was promoted to the guard captain Shaoqing.
