The prince violated the royal taboo, what should Tang Taizong do when he encountered it?

The prince violated the royal taboo, Tang Taizong'sThe way to deal with it is to choose to protect and hide, this matter is related to Tang Taizong's son Li Zhi, once Tang Taizong accompanied Li Zhi to write and play, Li Zhi scribbled in the calligraphy and painting, there is a "敕" word clearly visible! , Li Shimin was quite surprised at the time, thinking that it was the will of heaven, so he hurried the palace maid to burn this piece of paper, so as to protect him and keep it secret, and finally Li Zhi became the third emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

In the Tang Dynasty, "敕" was a special royal character, and only the emperor himself could use and writeMany things in the Tang Dynasty had strict requirements, and ordinary civilians could not use them, such as the emperor's special character is one of them. Another example is the emperor's dragon chair, others don't say they want to move it, even if you think about it, it is not allowed, this is to give the imperial power a supreme authority, this is a way to deify and honor the imperial power, if someone violates it, it is a capital crime, even if it is their own princes and grandchildren who violate the rules, the punishment is also quite severe.

Li Zhi is the son of Tang Taizong, and he is also the youngest, and he has two elder brothers. Once, Li Shimin and Empress Changsun played with little Li Zhi, when he was still a little boy and played all day long. One day, Li Zhizheng picked up a pen and wrote on a blank piece of paper, drawing the whole paper.

Seeing Li Zhi's love for graffiti, Li Shimin was very curious, what he drew on the paper, which aroused Li Shimin's curiosity, Li Shimin took the paper, smiled and admired Li Zhi's graffiti, he wanted to know what a pleasant day it would be for a child to be free and carefree.

However, Li Shimin was surprised, it turned out,Li Zhi scribbled on the calligraphy and painting, and there was a "edict" clearly visible, and then he said to the palace maid: "Burn this paper immediately, and don't tell anyone." ”Li Shimin felt that it was providence at that time, of course, Li Shimin was not afraid that Li Zhi would rob him of the throne, at this time Li Zhi was still an ignorant child, and he would not pose any threat to himselfHe did this to protect him, after all, he also had two older brothers.

Sure enough, in the end, Li Zhi also became the emperor, which is probably the will of heaven.

If the prince did not violate the royal taboo in public, Tang Taizong would turn a blind eye, and even if Tang Taizong saw it, he would not punish him too much, he was not a particularly strict father.

Tang Taizong is a strict person, he treats things equally, the prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people, and after Tang Taizong's son makes a mistake, he will be punished.

The prince violated the royal taboo, and Tang Taizong still gave a certain punishment after encountering it.

I think that Tang Taizong will not have too much punishment for his son if he violates the royal taboo.

Although it is said that the emperor is guilty of the same crime as the common people, there is still a difference, the prince will not be executed, at most he will be placed under house arrest.

Tang Taizong began to let Li Chengqian handle the affairs of the court and the central government, and take on the heavy responsibility of supervising the state when he was in mourning or leaving Beijing.
