Throughout history, Li Shimin may not be a good person, but he is definitely a good emperor. In terms of morality and life, Li Shimin's behavior is indeed not authentic, or even "virtuous."
When he decided to kill his brothers and nephews, he had no morals at all, not to mention that the wife who occupied Li Yuanji and the father who forced him to resign, and Li Shimin was involved in this matter. As a result, he became a person who kept making relationships for his own benefit.
But now we can evaluate it from a historical perspective, it is not difficult to see that Li Shimin is actually a rare emperor, that is, he created the rule of Zhenguan, for the future Wu Zetian When the emperor is stable, the literary expression method is to lay the foundation for the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty .
After the Tang dynasty established the country by military force to the back of Li Shimin ascended the throne, he ordered Yuchigong, Li Ji and other generals to crusade against the surrounding small countries, and he also founded the Huns. A flourishing age. From the establishment of the Tang Dynasty to its demise, it can be said that no one has been counseled in foreign wars at all, but everything is caused by Datang's own problems.
If the son is unsatisfied, then the father will be panicked. If the son is all fighting, then the palm of the hand and the back of the father are all meat, and there is only one in the country, and it is difficult to make a choice as a father.
So the keynote of the great Tang Dynasty was set up by Li Shimin, so why did Li Shimin and his brother Li Jiancheng compete for the throne?
Brothers, do you want to settle an account?
If the son is not up to date, then the father will be worried, if the son is upbeat, then the palm of the hand and the back of the father will be meat,There is only one in the country, and it is difficult for a father to make a choice.
In ancient times, the eldest son of has the legal right of inheritance, and Li Jiancheng himself is the eldest son of the son, so it is not unexpected that the throne will be its eldest son. , Because he had a younger brother named Li Shimin...
But if Li Shimin was better than Li Jiancheng at the time, he would not believe it if he was killed. Li Jiancheng must be the eldest son in terms of resources and connections. Li Jiancheng is the default character, so what does Li Shimin compare with others? When Li Yuan was blind, the system at that time was very strict. After all, it was a feudal era. If the name is incorrect, spit stars can drown him.
So Li Shimin didn’t have the idea of conquering the throne with Li Jiancheng at all. However, when was launched in Taiyuan , Li Shimin was arranged to "conquer the world". Well, at that time, Li Yuan arranged to be with him, and he had already started to learn emperor's art .
So Li Yuan thought very well at that time. Wouldn't it be a pleasure for two brothers to work together with one master inside and one outside master? But the ideas are beautiful, and the reality is very skinny.
Li Shimin was a genius who led the soldiers in battle. As early as more than ten years, when he started his army, he had won many battles. After seeing Li Yuan, he could only express his support for his son through . But you are no better than others,So afterwards, Li Shimin had become a full-level tycoon, and his knighthood had been conquered to the extreme, which made Li Yuan very melancholy. So, Li Yuan thought of a "good way", isn't he what he can do, and let Li Shimin hold other official positions concurrently.
But Li Shimin said silently, Oh, the full-level boss bullied the novice players, so Li Shimin did more and more, and the more power he had. Slowly, Li Shimin's mentality changed. Why did I do so much hard work and have so much power, and Li Jiancheng did nothing a day. Isn't this just a tool man, working for his own brother?
My brother had settled the accounts, but I didn’t understand it.
After Li Yuan became the emperor, the contradiction between Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng did not alleviate, but it was getting bigger and bigger, so he took Li Shimin’s words He said: "He made it, I will secure the throne for you." Under this circumstance, Li Jiancheng thought that he would be the emperor. Although my brother has done a lot, the world is It's mine. Why don't you openly dig Li Shimin's men, um...just the Yuchi Gong.
Yi Ge felt that Li Jiancheng was completely inflated. When he did not succeed to the throne, he openly dug Li Shimin's corner, and the digging was Yuchi Gong. It is equivalent to everyone having a meeting one day. This is when Li Jiancheng came out and pointed directly at Li Shimin's big face and said, "Your arm is thick, I want it. That's how it feels."
But Li Shimin was not idle either. In the seventh year of Wude, he dug a hole in the ground to falsely accuse the prince of collusion, but the frontier generals wanted to rebel. The accounts of the two brothers are always incomprehensible, come on and draw the sword. (Mainly, but Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji wanted to rob Li Shimin's military power)
And Li Shimin made the most important decision of his life, buying up Li Jiancheng’s Changhe, you can say a little The Xuanwu gate guard often affects the destiny of a country.
Of course everyone knows what happened later, but the short 55-character epitaph unearthed in Li Jiancheng's tomb by Li Shimin surprised everyone today.
These 55 characters, let us see Li Shimin's personality.
Of course everyone does not understand, but the reaction means in what year Li Jiancheng died and where he was buried. There is no introduction about his life. Just like "I came gently, and walked gently, Mao did not leave anything..."
So we can see Li Shimin's character, the world is not a fool, whether it is the rule of Zhenguan or not, it is you Li Shimin showed it to Li Jiancheng and Li Yuan to see if I could do so well. In the past, for Yige, no matter in terms of character or achievement, the merits and demerits were equal. But from the short 55-character epitaph, I can see that you are narrow-minded...
Of course, Yi Ge is not talented, this is just a personal opinion, or the sentence is still the same, " has done right and wrong, and descendants will decide ". What do you think?
