Everyone knows that Tang Dynasty Founding Emperor Li Yuan The crown prince designated by Li Jiancheng , which is the eldest brother of Li Shimin . If Li Shimin did not launch a coup in the throne, then it would naturally be Li Shimin's elder brother Li Jiancheng.
Xuanwumen mutiny
It’s a pity that Li Shimin, who was young and promising, had outstanding achievements and had long been ambitious to be the emperor, used his confidants to collude with the soldiers of the Xuanwumen guards, launched the famous Xuanwumen mutiny in history, killed his elder brother, forced his father Li Yuan to abdicate, and inherit the emperor.
Tang Taizong Li Shimin
But Li Shimin was a wise monarch with great abilities, and his wise and capable things were remarkable. He created the "Zhenguan Governance" that lasted more than half a century and was a famous emperor in history!
However, neither Li Jiancheng had the previous military achievements in the Sui Dynasty , nor the fact that he had heavy troops but could not restrain the military power being seized, he did not have the ability and level of becoming the emperor of the ages!
Take the Xuanwu Gate mutiny to see that Li Shimin's organizational strength, leadership and decisiveness are many times higher than Li Jiancheng, and his ability is stronger!
