Li Shimin brought 10 confidantes to initiate the Xuanwu Sect change. After becoming the emperor, how did they end up?

Crossing the river, dismantling bridges, unloading mills and killing donkeys, seems to be the gift of every emperor. Before, there was Liu Bang to punish Han Xin. Later, Zhu Yuanzhang executed Lan Yu and Li Shanchang, including the founding emperor of Tang Dynasty and Li Yuan. So.

Li Shimin helped his father Li Yuan fight the world in the early years of the army and made great contributions, and Li Yuan also promised to make Li Shimin the prince after he claimed the emperor. However, after Li Yuan became the monarch of the Tang Dynasty in 618, he turned back and made Li Jiancheng the crown prince, and Li Shimin was the general of Tiance and named King Qin.

It’s not even counted, because Li Shimin is a master, not to mention Li Jiancheng. Even Li Yuan, who is an old man, is afraid of Li Shimin’s prestige. Li Shimin’s generals come out and almost completely control the military power of the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, Li Yuan After becoming the emperor, he began to help Li Jiancheng suppress and even frame Li Shimin and his party members.

In order to protect themselves, Li Shimin and his founding heroes had to launch the Xuanwumen change in 626 to kill Prince Li Yuanji and help Li Jiancheng’s father.

What happened to their final outcome?


Changsun Wuji

has already met Changsun Wuji before Li Shimin has made his mark.Li Shimin admires the five-cars of the grandson Wuji Bogutong Jinxuefu, and the grandson Wuji respects Li Shimin's civil and military spirit, and the two have a very good relationship. After the Xuanwu Sect changed, Li Shimin became the throne, and Changsun Wuji took the post of prime minister, an extremely human minister.

But after Li Shimin died, Li Zhi loved Wu Zetian very much, wanted to abolish Wu Zetian, but did not get the support of Changsun Wuji, so Wu Zetian hated him. In 659 AD, Wu Zetian’s party feathers and Xu Jingzong fabricated the crime of conspiracy against the grandson Wuji. Li Zhi was displeased with the grandson Wuji. Therefore, in the end, the grandson Wuji was extremely persecuted, and he hanged himself in desperation. The family members were demoted as slaves and exiled to Lingnan.

② Yuchi Gong

Yuchi Gong, formerly known as Yuchi Jingde , did not play under Li Shimin's account, but under Liu Wuzhou. Later, Liu Wuzhou was defeated and Yu Chigong was captured. Li Shimin admired his bravery, so he put him under the account and was named Yu Chigong by Li Yuan. Yuchigong made a great contribution to the Xuanwumen Revolution and was named General Youwuhou.

After Yuchigong became famous, he often made trouble in the court because of his arrogance, and finally converged after being beaten by Li Shimin. In his later years, Yu Chigong was obsessed with pill medicine. Since then, he did not ask political affairs and concentrated on alchemy. Therefore, he was not persecuted by Wu Zetian. In 658, he died of old age at the age of 74.

Hou Junji

Hou Junji is also a general who fought with Li Shimin very early,Later he also became a general of Youwei. However, Hou Junji was also proud and greedy for national treasures, so he was imprisoned by Li Shimin, and later participated in the rebellion of the prince Li Chengqian . Finally, Li Shimin tearfully executed Hou Junji.

④Zhang Gongjin

Although Zhang Gongjin had less military merits than the above three, he was very helpful in Li Shimin's proclaiming emperor. After Li Shimin ascended the throne, Zhang Gongjin was named Zou Guogong. Unfortunately, Zhang Gongjin died in 632 in 632 at the age of 38.

⑤ Liu Shili, Gongsun Wuda, Dugu Yanyun

Liu Shili, like Yu Chigong, was attached to Li Shimin later, but he was also highly regarded by Li Shimin, although he was often despised. He also won the post of Shiju Governor, and eventually died of old age.

Gongsun Wuda was favored by Li Shimin and became General Youwuwei, and for Donglai County, he fought all his life and worked hard. In the end, he became sick and died in the post of General Youwuwei.

Dugu Yanyun was appointed the governor of Youzhou and Liyang County, and later Eastern Turkic Jieli Khan made trouble, and Dugu Yanyun was ordered to crusade and died. .

⑥Du Junchuo, Zheng Rentai, Li Mengchang

Du Junchuo performed bravely and bravely in the change of Xuanwumen,Later, he was named the right leader general and other official positions. In 662 AD, 61-year-old Du Junchuo suddenly died in the upper court and passed away.

Zheng Intae was appointed as a guerrilla general and commander after 626, but as a warrior, he was greedy for battlefields, so he spent most of his time conquering the Turks, Korea, Tiele, AD In 663, Zheng Rentai died in his home at the age of 63.

Li Mengchang was named the founding father of Wushui County. During the period of Li Zhizhi, he was made a general of Youweiwei. Unfortunately, in 666, Li Mengchang died violently in Jinganfang at the end of the year. 73 years old.


  • Concluding remarks
  • It can be seen that Li Shimin is worthy of a generation of princes, rewards and punishments are distinguished, and he is very tolerant of the founders of the country. Death forced Li Shimin to die, and most of the other heroes got a good death in the end, and all of this has nothing to do with Li Shimin's benevolence.
