Why didn t Tang Taizong pass the throne to his third son, Li Ke?

This is because Tang Taizong believes that his third son Li Ke does not have the majesty of being a monarch, and he does not have the ability to be a good monarch.

Because he felt that he was not capable, he felt that he would not be able to hold that position after becoming the emperor, and he would be robbed by others.

Because although this prince's character is good, his vision is not particularly long-term.

Because Li Ke is not the eldest son, he lacks the opportunity to inherit the prince, and his biological mother is still the Yang family, so Tang Taizong will not let him become the prince.

Li Tang's world is the world that was snatched from the Yang family.

Historically, Li Tang Tianxia was taken from the Yang family of the Sui Dynasty, and Li Ke's mother was even moreYang familyDaughter, DonTaizongHow could he be made the crown prince, didn't this make the world laugh at him? sent the world back to the hands of the descendants of the Sui Dynasty. This is absolutely impossible for the entire Tang Dynasty, although his personal ability is very good, but his identity is there, and he has to be relegated to an unimportant position.

Li Shimin prefers Li Tai and Li Zhi.

Li Ke was named the king of Shu at a very young age, and he was the governor of Yizhou, which can also be seen that Li Shimin really likes him. But in comparison, it can be seen that Li Shimin prefers Li Zhi and Li Tai, after all, they are the eldest sons, this is the most clear inheritance system at that time, even if Li Ke is capable, he can't become the prince. There are few supporters of him in the court, so how can he gain a firm foothold in the position of the crown prince?

Li Shimin likes that their brothers can get along with each other.

We all know that in history, there was a lot of fighting for the throne between brothers, and brothers killed each other and could not get along in harmony. Li Shimin didn't want these situations to happen, and later established Li Zhi, in Li Shimin's heart, he felt that this person was kind-hearted, would treat his brother well, and would not kill them all! This is nothing to do with Li Ke, after all, the relationship behind him involves the term descendants of the Sui Dynasty.

This also created Li Ke's misfortune later. Maybe he didn't have a rebellious intention, but he was used by someone with a heart, so he was killed! So he's the most miserable one for him.

In other words, Li Ke could not become the crown prince, and neither the court nor the situation at the time allowed him to be the prince! Even if he is better than others, he can't escape fate!

Because Li Ke's ability is limited, he is not suitable to be a prince, so he did not become a prince.

I think the main reason is because the eldest grandson Wuji sued Li Ke for rebellion at that time, and then he and the crown prince's position were lost.

Worried that the person he fancied would be targeted by other people again, he did not set up a prince, and the prince was equivalent to a target at that time.

He has the support of the eldest grandson Wuji behind him, he has a weak personality, but he has a benevolent heart, and the crown prince Li Tai is too cruel and ruthless in doing things. Li Shimin clearly knows the state and situation of each son.

The main reason is that Li Zhizhai is kind-hearted and very suitable for managing the country, while the other princes are very ruthless, which is not in line with Tang Taizong's choice.

Mainly because Li Zhi is more benevolent and generous, and more honest, Li Shimin is optimistic about him.
