There are so many sons of Tang Gaozu Li Yuan, why are there only three people vying for the throne?

There are so many sons of Tang Gaozu Li Yuan, why are there only three people vying for the throne? Here's why:

First, because of their age, only these three have the conditions to compete for the throne, why are there so many sons in the life of the other children, Shangxiao Tang Gaozu Li Yuan, but when they are competing for the throne or choosing an heir, they only chooseLi Shimin, Li Jiancheng, Li YuanjiWhat about three candidates to be candidates? Actually, the main reason,The reason why I have to accept it is because except for Li Shimin, Li Jiancheng, and Li Yuanji, the rest of the children are too young, and the oldest is only a person who has just learned to walk. Therefore, there are no conditions for inheritance and competition, so you can only choose from the three.

Second, Li Shimin was anxious to kill the two brothers who were fighting for the throne, and Tang Gaozu was finally forced to choose Li Shimin Second, we all know that the last person to inherit the throne is Li Shimin, so how did Li Shimin win the imperial power? Speaking of which, Li Shimin's operation also made everyone sighIn order to successfully get the throne, Li Shimin chose to kill his elder brother and younger brother successively in order to compete for unnecessary reasonsIn addition to these two, the other younger brothers Li Shimin, who is still young and does not have the conditions to compete, have not moved at all. And such a result is difficult for Tang Gaozu Li Yuan to accept, but he has to accept itIn the end, Li Shimin won the inheritance of imperial power.

However, later Tang Gaozu also let go and understood Li Shimin's approach. Because if the three brothers compete at the same time, there will inevitably be infighting in the future, and it will no longer affect the relationship between the brothers, but about the whole country and the world.

Third, Li Yuan had more than 20 sons in his life, and the young, premature Tang Gaozu Li Yuan had more than 20 sons in his life, in fact, in the whole process of competing for the throneMost of the sons are still young and not yet able to compete for the throne, there are more than 20 sons, and some of the sons are too young and die young. So this is why Tang Gaozu Li Yuan has so many sons, but in the end, only these three are fundamentally willing to compete for the throne. I have to say that the infighting for the throne in ancient times is still very embarrassing!

China is an ancient country with a history of 5,000 years of civilization, of course, China also had a lot of dynasties in ancient times, and there will be a problem in these dynasties, that is, when the emperor is about to abdicate, then his son will compete for the throne. So today we are going to talk about Li Yuan, Li Yuan, as the ancestor of the Tang Dynasty, has a lot of sons, but at the end of the time, there are only three princes who compete for the throne.

Understanding the situation of other princes, today we are going to talk about what the reason is, as far as I know, when competing for the throne, Li Yuan's sons only have three princes, and they are qualified to compete for the throne. Then the other princes were qualified to compete in time, and they all lost this opportunity and were incapable. Li Yuan's fifth prince died in 617 AD, and his sixth prince was born in 618, but he was only 8 years old after the Xuanwumen Incident, and at that time he was still young and didn't understand anything, so it was impossible to compete for the throne.

The direction of things and the Tang Gaozu Li Yuan at that time had a certain amount of selfishness, Li Jian became the crown prince at that time, and helped him deal with affairs in the palace, and he was also a representative of the civil official group. ButIt was Li Shimin who was able to lead his troops to battle at that time, and his contribution was also very great, and the people at that time thought that the prince's prestige was not as good as Li Shimin. And at this time, Tang Gaozu Li Yuan was very partial to his son Li Jiancheng, so under his selfishness, Li Jiancheng gradually gained the upper hand and was able to control the situation.

At this time, in order to save the situation, Li Shimin decided to launch a certain resistance, that is, the most desperate blow, and killed his brother and his younger brother in Xuanwumen. In this way, Li Shimin became the new crown prince in the end, and inherited the throne of Tang Gaozu and became the last Tang Taizong. So as for why there are only three people vying for the throne, it is because the other princes have either died or have just been born.

They are not yet capable, they have no chance to fight for this throne.

Because when it came time to compete for the throne, only three emperors (Li Yuan's fourth son, Li Yuanba, who died at the age of sixteen) were eligible to compete for the throne. Li Yuan's fifth son, Li Zhiyun, died in 617 AD, and the sixth son, Li, was born in 618 AD. He was only 8 years old at the time and could not compete for the throne.

It is because only these three people have ideas about the throne, and the others have a relatively kind attitude and have no intentions for the throne, so only these three people compete for the throne.

Because these three were the only ones who were adults and controlled their own power, the other sons were not qualified to participate in the fight.

Li Yuan knew that he had no rights, so he didn't ask about political affairs directly, what he wanted to be happy after becoming the emperor was actually happiness, and now he can enjoy his old age without working for state affairs by himself. Li Yuan died of illness at the age of 71, his life is also very long, he has experienced the changes of several dynasties, although he is not the material for governing the country, but his wisdom is also undeniable, he knows the time to rebel, is the beginning of the Tang Dynasty.

Tang Gaozu Li Yuan was forced to death by Wu Zetian and them. In this Xuanwumen change, he is also very cowardly. His children did not end well in the end, and they were suppressed by Wu Zetian.

Li Yuan should have died of illness at the age of sixty-nine, which was considered to be the end of his life in ancient times. Li Yuan had a total of twenty-two sons, most of whom died unexpectedly, and only a few died well, such as Li Shimin.

According to the official history, Li Yuan died of illness after being the Empress Taishang for many years, and everyone does not need conspiracy theories, it was a natural death. As for the ending of Li Yuan's other children, first of all, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji who have studied history probably know that they were killed after the Xuanwumen Incident, Li Zhiyun was cut down by the Yin Shishi, Li Yuanjing and Li Yuanchang were given to death by Li Shimin, Li Yuanheng, Li Yuanxiang, Li Yuanxiao and Li Yuanfang died early, Li Yuanli was killed by his son, Li Yuanjia was killed by Wu Zetian with others, Li Yuanze, Li Yuanyi, Li Fenggao, Li Yuanqing and Li Yuanyu died of illness during Gaozong, and Li Yuanliang was also killed by Wu Zetian. Li Yuanming was framed and died.
