    This statement is completely nonsense, first of all, although Li Shimin killed his brother, he actually did not kill his father. Moreover, this statement is mostly derived from the Confucian theory of heaven and man's induction, that is, everything on the earth must be related to the emperor's actions, in fact, these are just natural phenomena, and they have nothing to do with what someone has done.

    In fact, as a modern person, as long as you often watch the news, you can know that whether it is at home or abroad, no matter what year, there are such and such disasters outbreaking, specific to the country, which year there are not several floods, droughts, and outbreaks in China, the difference is the size of the impact. Therefore, if it had to be applied, then Confucianism could find such a natural disaster at any time as a tightening spell to fasten the emperor's head.

    Therefore, under the current scientific theory, the formation method and cause of these natural disasters can be understood. It has nothing to do with the celestial and human sense of heavenly retribution.

    And even if Li Shimin really has any retribution, it should not be a frequent natural disaster, the loss caused by frequent natural disasters will only be the people of Limin, whether it is a drought or a locust plague, in fact, the impact on the emperor's life is very small. It's just the common people who suffer, does this kind of retribution have any impact on Li Shimin? Moreover, it is said that it is a retribution to the emperor, but rather a retribution to the people, and Li Shimin's measures to deal with the disaster are appropriate, not only did he not suffer any actual losses, but also fulfilled his reputation as a Ming Jun, logically speaking, this cannot be regarded as retribution.

    If it is really retribution, Li Shimin should be allowed to die immediately if he gets any disease, or be struck by lightning like this, and only for him can be counted as retribution in front of him, at least logically. Even so, there is no scientific basis for this.

    Therefore, the Confucian theory of heaven and man induction, or the Buddhist theory of karma, is just far-fetched. Therefore, people should believe in themselves and not in retribution.

    Of course not, the natural disaster was an accident, and this has nothing to do with Li Shimin's killing of his brother and father, and the retribution for killing his brother and father is that his sons also killed each other. Natural disasters are brought about by nature, and they will come regardless of whether Li Shimin has done bad things or not.

    Killing one's brother and father is indeed against heaven, but it has nothing to do with the frequent natural disasters that followed. The frequent natural disasters may be a coincidence, just in time to be seated. It's not retribution.

    This is a natural disaster, and every dynasty has a variety of weather and natural disasters, which are not related to retribution.

    Due to the primogeniture system, Li Jiancheng should inherit the throne. And Li Shimin or Li Shimin's subordinates were dissatisfied with this, and said that Li Shimin was purely ordered to launch a rebellion, and killed Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, the descendants who had the right to inherit. Li Yuan also has a son-in-law, who is the invincible general Li Yuanba, but like **, he died very early.

    Li Shimin took a salary from the bottom of the kettle, killed his two brothers, and made himself the only heir to the throne, Li Yuan couldn't bear to kill him, so Li Shimin successfully ascended the throne.

Li Shimin is Li Yuan's second son, and Li Shimin's eldest brother is Li Jiancheng, because Li Jiancheng's military exploits are not as prominent as Li Shimin, and Li Shimin has prestige, and Li Jiancheng is the eldest son and should inherit the throne. Therefore, Li Shimin launched the Xuanwumen Rebellion and killed Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji. Soon, Li Yuan voluntarily abdicated for Tang Taizu, and Li Shimin ascended the throne as Tang Taizong.
