In 643 AD, the court situation of Datang changed. Li Chengqian, who was a good prince, was suddenly demoted to a common man by Li Shimin , Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty.
At this time, Li Shimin is already very old, and the country cannot be without a prince. So shortly after the abolition of Li Chengqian's crown prince, Li Shimin made his ninth son Li Zhi the crown prince.
Tang Taizong Li Shimin gave birth to three sons, Li Chengqian, Li Tai and Li Zhi. Because Li Chengqian was the eldest son, Li Shimin was established as the prince.
and Li Zhi is the youngest of the three prostitutes. Then Li Chengqian's crown prince was abolished, and it is reasonable to say that Li Tai, his second son, should be the crown prince.
In fact, after Li Shimin relegated Li Chengqian to a common man, he also wanted to make Li Taili the prince. But in the end it was Li Zhi instead of Li Tai who became the prince. So what did Li Tai do that caused him to miss the position of prince?
Li Chengqian's interaction with Li Tai
Among Li Shimin's many sons, to ask which one is most popular with Li Shimin, the answer is Li Tai. During Li Shimin's reign, he continued to give Li Tai into the ranks and rewards him continuously, and he also gave Li Tai the special courtesy of "kingdom is not a country".
Li Shimin has such a preference for Li Tai, which makes Li Chengqian, who is firmly seated as a prince, both jealous and frightened. Li Chengqian will shudder when he thinks of what his father did to his uncle Li Jiancheng in the past. After all, uncle Li Jiancheng is the prince,But he did not become the emperor of Datang.
Although Li Shimin did not express the idea of easy storage, the critical situation made Li Chengqian feel that he must take the initiative to do something to avoid following his uncle's footsteps.
In order to stabilize his position, Li Chengqian prepared to assassinate his younger brother, but the assassination plan ended in failure. If the assassination failed, Li Chengqian took the risk again, and combined with Hanwang Li Yuanchang, Chengyang Princess's royal horse Du He, Hou Junji and others in an attempt to force the palace. However, this time the forced palace plan announced a miscarriage again.
fails again and again, so what is waiting for Li Chengqian is that his crown prince is abolished.
In order to fight for the crown prince, Li Tai exhausted all means
Li Chengqian's crown prince was abolished, and Li Shimin's first thought was to make his favorite Li Taili the crown prince.
Li Tai himself naturally wanted to be the prince. For this reason, when Li Chengqian was abolished, he began to act like a baby to Li Shimin. He said that he would kill his son in a hundred years and pass on his brother Li. rule.
Li Shimin heard his son say this and felt that Li Tai was a good example of brotherhood. As soon as his heart softened, he promised to make Li Taili the prince.
But Li Tai's nonsense deceived Li Shimin, but did not deceive the prime minister Chu Suiliang. He immediately persuaded Li Shimin to say that Li Tai's words of killing his children were too hypocritical and impossible to happen. Besides, how could a person who would never let go of his own son let his younger brother go? Li Tai's purpose in doing this is nothing more than to fool the crown prince into his hands.
Li Shimin listened to Chu Suiliang's analysis, and his brain became sober. So the idea of making Li Tai the prince was terminated, and Li Zhi was made the prince. Soon, Taizong relegated Li Tai to the title of Donglai County King, and in the edict he criticized Li Tai for squeezing out his elder brother and seeking to seize the position. that's it,Li Tai made a wrong statement because of his excessive performance in the show, and eventually missed the position of the prince who was determined to win.
