To answer this question, the first thing to ask is, why did Li Shimin rebel against Li Yuan ? It can be said that King of Qin Li Shimin made great contributions to Tang Dynasty . Li Shimin conquered most of the Tang Dynasty. In a sense, Li Shimin's contribution is even greater than that of his father Li Yuan. But because in ancient times Li Shimin did not become a prince because he established elders but not virtuous people. It is absolutely impossible to say that there is no resentment. The crown prince at that time, Li Jiancheng, saw all this and was very afraid of Li Shimin. On the one hand, he was worried that Li Shimin would take away his position as prince. On the other hand, he was worried that Li Shimin would threaten his position, so Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin were at odds with each other and secretly competed with each other.
Li Yuan could see clearly, but he was in a dilemma. If Li Jiancheng is abolished, Li Yuan will risk the world by doing nothing. Otherwise, Li Shimin would never give up. Li Shimin made a decision for Li Yuan, launched a rebellion in the Xuanwu Gate, killed Li Jiancheng, and forced him out of the palace. If only Li Jiancheng was eliminated, Li Yuan would definitely punish him, and maybe even make wedding clothes for others. Only by forcing the palace to rebel and becoming emperor can one calm the public's anger and pretend to be helpless.
look at Zhu Di . In the early years, Zhu Yuanzhang went to war, but Zhu Di was young and did not participate in the war. Therefore, in the army, his prestige is not great. It was not until he was twenty that he really got involved in Zhu Yuanzhang's military field. Without any special military talent, no one would take him seriously, let alone the military power. Therefore, Zhu Di did not have anything outstanding in the war.
By the time Zhu Yuanzhang came to dominate the world, Zhu Di already had his eldest brother Zhu Biao and a group of younger brothers. Rebellion was something he had never thought about. And because his temperament matched that of Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Yuanzhang liked him very much. Whether it was during the war or after the founding of the country, he would stay with him and the relationship was very good. What's more, his eldest brother Zhu Biao also loves him very much. So why did he rebel? Therefore, Zhu Di had no intention of rebellion.
But the good times did not last long. After Zhu Yuanzhang passed away, his favorite eldest grandson Zhu Yunqi succeeded to the throne. Zhu Yunwen was still young and did not understand the affairs of the court, so he listened to the advice of his ministers and cut down the vassal vassal. Zhu Di wanted to cut down the feudal vassalage, so he would cut down the vassalage and become a free and easy prince. But later, Zhu Yunwen deposed five vassal kings and demoted them to common people. Some vassal kings committed suicide in humiliation, and some were placed under house arrest. When Zhu Di saw the fate of these brothers, he knew that his fate would not be much better. He had no choice but to rebel in order to survive. But everyone should note that Zhu Di's rebellion was not Zhu Yuanzhang, but his nephew Zhu Yunwen. Generally speaking, there are two main reasons why Zhu Di did not rebel against Zhu Yuanzhang. The first point is that his strength is far different from Zhu Yuanzhang. The second point is that he did not contribute much to the establishment of and Ming , and his strength is limited. But I have to admit that both Li Shimin and Zhu Di are both wise kings. They created Zhenguan and Yongle Shengshi respectively.
