Before Li Shimin launched the Xuanwumen Incident, did Li Yuan support Li Jiancheng or Li Shimin?

He supported Li Jiancheng, and if he supported Li Shimin, Li Shimin might not have staged such a coup d'état.

Li Yuan supports Li Jiancheng, because Li Jiancheng is his eldest son, if he doesn't support Li Jiancheng, he won't make Li Jiancheng the crown prince, he likes Li Shimin but doesn't necessarily support him.

Li Yuan must have supported Li Shimin, because Li Shimin was the most powerful at that time.

Li Jiancheng is Li Yuan's eldest son.

The Tang Dynasty practiced the "primogeniture inheritance system". It stands to reason that even if Li Jiancheng doesn't do anything, he should be made the crown prince by virtue of his identity.

What's more, although he is not as famous as Li Shimin, he also made great efforts in the establishment of the Tang Dynasty.

His ability and deeds can afford to be the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty.

Xuanwumen Incident.

After it happened, if you could, Li Yuan.

must be unwilling to abdicate and become the emperor, and even more unwilling to give up the throne to Li Shimin.

Target. But if you don't want to, you can't help it, after all, whenever Li Yuan remembers that when the Xuanwumen Incident happened, Li Shimin's general Wei Chi Gong.

Holding a weapon and looking at him coldly, Li Yuan would inevitably tremble and panic.

Thinking about it again, Li Shimin not only killed Li Jiancheng.

and Li Yuanji, and even killed all the children of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, and Li Yuan will inevitably worry about his life.

Of course, in addition to thinking about his own life, Li Yuan also had several reasons why he finally decided to abdicate and give up the throne to Li Shimin.

First, among Li Yuan's sons, it is indeed Li Shimin who is the most suitable to be the emperor.

Although Li Yuan was extremely disgusted with Li Shimin because of the Xuanwumen Incident, he had to admit that Li Shimin was really the most suitable person to inherit Li Yuan's throne. This point starts with Li Shimin's ability to create the rule of Zhenguan.

, you can get proof.

In contrast, Li Jiancheng is also a good choice, but in terms of means and strategy, he is worse than Li Shimin.

Second, Li Yuan, who was deeply hit, didn't really want to continue to be the emperor.

At the time of the Xuanwumen Incident, Li Yuan was already 60 years old, which was definitely an advanced age at that time.

When Li Yuan was already old, he also lost 2 sons and 10 grandchildren, which made Li Yuan grief-stricken and mentally devastated. In this case, Li Yuan is naturally not suitable to continue to be the emperor again.

Since Li Yuan didn't want to be the emperor, he needed to choose an heir to the throne. But no matter how much Li Yuan hates Li Shimin, there is no way, after all, when Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji are dead, only Li Shimin is suitable to inherit the throne.

Third, Li Shimin's prestige is too high, and he is second only to Li Yuan in power.

When the Xuanwumen Incident occurred, Li Shimin was already in power, and there was no way to seal it. Above the court, he is a lieutenant.

Situ, Shang Shuling, Shangzhu Guo.

King Qin. In the army, he is the general of Tiance, the left and right martial marquis.

Great General. Locally, he is also the Daxingtai and Yizhou of Eastern Shaanxi Province.

Daoxingtai, Yongzhou pastoral, Liangzhou governor. In addition, most of the Tang Dynasty was defeated by Li Shimin, so Li Shimin's prestige was even stronger than Li Yuan.

The prestige is too high, and he holds a lot of real power, plus Li Shimin controls the forbidden army.

In this case, no matter how unwilling Li Yuan is, he can only choose to give up the throne, so that at least he can leave some dignity for himself.

All in all, it is Li Shimin's strength that determines everything.

After the Xuanwumen Change, the reason why Tang Gaozu Li Yuan gave way to Li Shimin was because his life was threatened, if he didn't give way, he would probably die, and Li Shimin did have the ability to govern the country.

Mainly because Li Yuan already knew that Li Shimin had brutalized Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, and then Li Yuan was afraid that his life would be threatened, so he gave way to Li Shimin.

This is because Li Shimin's strength was very strong at that time, he was supported by many people, and he had the ability to be the emperor, so in the end, Li Yuan gave up the throne to Li Shimin.

Because Li Shimin's strength was relatively strong at that time, if he didn't give way, Li Shimin would directly force the palace.

Because he had been forced to have nowhere to retreat, he could only give up the throne to Li Shimin, who had very great rights at that time.

Li Yuan prefers Li Jiancheng, he likes Li Jiancheng's mother, so he prefers Li Jiancheng, he also knows that Li Shimin, the king of Qin, is talented, but he still wants him to assist Li Jiancheng, and the change of Xuanwumen is something Li Yuan has not thought about.

Li Jiancheng is Li Yuanli's crown prince, and he has always maintained his position. But Li Shimin supported the army and self-respect, launched the Xuanwumen Rebellion (of course, if he didn't kill Li Jiancheng, he would be killed by Li Jiancheng), and ascended the throne offside. Li Yuan was really helpless.

Li Shimin, the change of Xuanwumen is that Li Jiancheng wants to ascend the throne without fail, and the queen did not agree to make Li Shimin the prince before she died, and before that, Li Yuan wanted to make Li Shimin the prince, because the queen did not succeed, and then the Xuanwumen change occurred.

Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin are half-brothers, and Li Yuan is in a dilemma no matter how he chooses: as a father, both sons are palms of their hands, and neither can avoid hurting the other; As the emperor, he prefers the crown prince, and the emperor will never tolerate someone who commits rebellion and disobeys the yang.

Li Yuan must be more inclined to Li Shimin Li Shimin's Xuanwumen change killed his brother Li Yuan must have thought of it, but he still didn't stop it And Li Shimin was originally more talented than Li Jiancheng Li Jiancheng is the eldest son, so it is natural to be the crown prince Li Shimin is more skilled and more ruthless From the changes in Xuanwumen, it can be seen that Li Yuan is more inclined to Li Shimin.

It is obvious that it is Li Jiancheng, otherwise it is necessary for Li Shimin to launch the Xuanwumen Change.

Because Li Shimin has already obtained what he wants to get, the throne. Moreover, Li Yuan no longer has the ability to retaliate against Li Shimin or the like, so there is no need to kill Li Yuan in order to gain a brutal infamy.

It's not that he doesn't dare, because he just killed his brother, and he doesn't dare to be charged with killing his father on his back, and if he is killing his father, it will not be conducive to the stability of the political situation.

Li Yuan is Li Shimin's father, and killing his father will inevitably be spurned by the world, but Li Shimin still doesn't have the guts.

In the ancient struggle for the throne, the phenomenon of cannibalism between brothers is relatively common, but the case of killing the father is relatively rare, if the father is killed, it will not be able to block the world's leisurely mouth, not enough for the world to return to the heart, after all, there is a saying that filial piety is the first.
