Why did Xu Shiyun, the founding general of the Tang Dynasty, burn his grandson Xu Jingye to death?

Xu Shiyun discovered Wu Zetian's ambitions, and also knew that Xu Jingye might raise an army to rebel and bring shame on him and his family, so in order to protect his reputation, he was ready to set fire to Xu Jingye.

Because Xu Jingye rebelled, he rebelled against Wu Zetian, so he would be burned to death by his grandfather after the defeat.

Xu Jingye showed that he was better than other children when he was young, he was witty and calm. But he is very ugly, so he has not been valued by the Xu family. Later, when he grew up, his grandfather Xu Shiyun found that he had great ambitions and was afraid that he would do things that were not good for the family in the future, so he was ready to strike first.

As we all know, Xu Shiyun is a very smart person, and he has made great contributions to the establishment of Datang. It is because of his great military exploits that he was given the surname Li. Later, when Li Zhi was the emperor, Li Zhi wanted to establish Wu Zetian as the empress, but this decision was opposed by the Guanlong nobles led by the eldest grandson Wuji, Li Zhi wanted to ask Xu Shiyun what he meant, but Xu Shiyun was a smart person, and he was not easy to offend on both sides of this kind of thing.

He told the emperor that this was a matter for the emperor in his own family, and that it would be good to make his own decisions. So Li Shiyun is a very smart person, and in his heart, it should be easy for him to deal with his grandson.

Xu Shiyun later held a family party and asked his grandson Xu Jingye to go to the mountains and forests to expel prey, and Xu Jingye did as his grandfather instructed. But what Xu Jingye didn't expect was that his grandfather would be so vicious, and he actually set a fire when he entered the mountains and forests to chase his prey. The fire spread quickly, but Xu Jingye did not panic at all, he killed the horse he was riding and hid in the belly of the horse.

Later, when Xu Shiyun went to the mountains and forests to look for his body, he couldn't find it. Xu Jingye only walked out of the horse's belly at this time, Xu Shiyun saw this situation, his heart was very complicated, and he decided not to care about this grandson's affairs from now on.

It can be seen from this incident that Xu Jingye is really a very witty person! So later, when Wu Zetian was in power, Xu Jingye would rebel. However, it is believed that people in ancient times valued honor above everything else, and sometimes even at the expense of their lives, they had to preserve their honor.

Xu Shiyun, a smart person, must have observed Wu Zetian's ambitions, and also expected that his grandson might raise an army to rebel and bring shame on him and his family, so in order to maintain his reputation, he was ready to set fire to his grandson.

Because Xu Jingye rebelled against Wu Zetian, but the real him was not burned to death by Xu Shixian, but killed by his subordinates.

It is rumored that Xu Jingye was born with a tortoise shell, Xu Shiyun understood yin and yang and understood the above words, and he felt that his grandson was unknown.

Xu Jingye rebelled. Together with Li Jingyou, Wei Siwen, Luo Binwang and Tang Zhiqi and others, they rebelled in Yangzhou.

Xu Shiyun was both surprised and worried about Xu Jingye, he was surprised that his grandson was so good, and he was worried that he was afraid that this courage would bring disaster to Xu Jingye and the Xu family. After Xu Jingye's rebellion against Wu Zetian failed, Xu Shiyun burned Xu Jingye to death in order to protect his family.

Because his grandson Xu Jingye has done something sorry for the people and the country, his behavior is very great to kill his relatives in righteousness.

Because he believed that his grandson was a hero, with both strategy and martial arts, and he also made quick decisions, it was likely that there would be some unexpected moves, and his grandson later rebelled.

Because the Xu family didn't like Xu Jingye and thought that he was a scourge and would make the Xu family suffer a catastrophe, Xu Shiyun could only strike first and wanted to burn him. Xu Jingye's actions proved that he was really not a fuel-efficient lamp, Xu Jingye launched an uprising to openly oppose Wu Zetian's rule, but the uprising failed, and the Xu clan was exterminated by the Nine Clans.

Because Xu Jingye made a mistake and was demoted, he was very dissatisfied with this and rebelled in Yangzhou, because Xu Jingye's courage was too good, and Xu Shiyun was afraid that this would bring disaster to the Xu family and burned Xu Jingye to death.

Because he felt that Xu Jingye was too sharp and courageous, which was not a good thing. In the future, if Xu Jingye is in a high position, he will inevitably do something earth-shattering and bring disaster to the family, so he wants to burn him to death for peace of mind.

Because Xu Jingye rebelled and committed a capital crime, Xu Shiyun must burn his grandson Xu Jingye to death.
