Li Shimin was not poisoned Why did Li Shimin drink the poisoned wine given by Li Jiancheng but did not die?
When the emperors of the past dynasties competed for the throne, there were often scenes of swords rising and falling. In order to sit on the throne, these emperors of the same origin completely disregarded the relationship between each other and regarded each other as enemies. This struggle is not filled with gunsmoke, but full of swords and swords, and they are fighting each other.
Tang Taizong Li Shimin was the second emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Since ascending the throne, he has made great efforts to govern the country, appointed talents, and created a prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty with political enlightenment, social stability, economic rise, and cultural prosperity"The rule of Zhenguan"。
The days are getting better and better, and Li Shimin is also praised by the people as a good emperor. However, from competing for the throne to ascending the throne to success, Li Shimin has experienced many ups and downs.
At that time, Li Jiancheng's three younger brothers were all on the throne"Eyeing the Tiger", so they always quarrel with each other, especially the eldest brother Li Jiancheng, who often finds reasons to blame the other younger brother Li Shimin. Once, Li Jiancheng invited another brother to drink, but secretly poisoned the wine, who expected Li Shimin not to die, is this the reason?
Unusual path, not ordinary since childhood.
In the seventeenth year of the emperor's reign, Li Shimin was born in the Li family of martial arts in Shaanxi. Li Yuan happily hugged his second son. Although he had three older brothers, they all died at an early age or died of illness, so he never experienced brotherhood from an early age.
Now that his second son has been born, he can finally let his sons make up for his regrets. As the saying goes"The second child is the smartest", this sentence was fulfilled in Li Shimin. Li Shimin has been smart and clever since he was a child, and he always knows the answer to what the teacher asks him. In addition to learning Xi, Li Shimin's behavior is often praised by his father.
As he grew older, Li Shimin's outstanding talents were also appreciated. In the last years of the Sui Dynasty, the henchmen of Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty overhauled the canal, and the people were countless and the society was in turmoil. Peasant uprisings against corrupt rule broke out in many parts of the country.
There was a peasant uprising at home, and an attack by the Turks abroad. In order to suppress these forces, Emperor Yang of Sui appointed Li Yuan as the Taishou of Taiyuan. Li Shimin came to Taiyuan with his father because of his outstanding ability, and the emperor initially instructed Li Shimin and his son to suppress the reactionaries. Unexpectedly, after learning about the situation in Taiyuan, they had a new idea.
Li Shimin looked at the momentum of the Taiyuan Uprising and deeply realized that the Sui Dynasty had lost power and lost the support of the people. As the saying goes, those who win the hearts of the people win the world. After Li Shimin recognized the situation, he immediately suggested to his father to raise troops to seize power.
At the suggestion of his son Liu Wenjing and others, Li Yuan decided to lead the army to revolt, which was an important event in history - the Jinyang Uprising. After this incident, Li Shimin's father became more respected, and ministers praised him for being fearless and trustworthy.
Brother suspicion. After the success of the uprising, Li Yuan prepared to return to Chang'an to overthrow the Sui Dynasty. On the way, Li Shimin was resourceful and determined, and made great contributions to Li Shimin's great goal. Half a year later, the army successfully arrived in Chang'an. Li Yuan supported Yang Yu, the grandson of Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty, as the emperor and appointed himself prime minister.
Although the new emperor has been established, he is only a puppet, and the real power is in the hands of Li Yuan. In 618, Yang Guang died. In order to defend himself, the cowardly Yang Yu passed the throne to Prime Minister Li Yuan. Li Yuan formally established the Tang Dynasty.
When Li Yuan ascended the throne, Li Shimin was the most unhappy. In gratitude for his merits, Li Yuan promised to appoint him crown prince after the success of the uprising. This idea greatly encouraged Li Shimin, and he even risked his life to lead his soldiers on the expedition.
Now that his father has become the emperor and has made his brother Li Jiancheng the crown prince, he is just a fake Qin king with no real power.
Soon, Li Shimin saw that although he was only the crown prince, now that his father was alive, he didn't know how things would develop in the future. As long as he earnestly completes the tasks assigned to him by his father, his father may pay attention to him again.
Thinking about it this way, Li Shimin cheered up again, in addition to often going to the barracks to train the soldiers and eat and live with the soldiers, sometimes his father would specially order people to visit, communicate patiently with the people, and help solve many problems of people's livelihood. Li Shimin not only gradually won the hearts of the military, but also won the hearts of the people.
Li Shimin's influence is growing, but his two older brothers are worried. Since Li Jiancheng became the crown prince, Li Shimin's eldest son not only didn't know"The Son of Heaven descended to earth", but all day long worried that the other brother would surpass him and covet the position of the crown prince.
In order to sit on the throne, Li Jiancheng and his fourth brother Li Yuanji created a misunderstanding and exposed Li Shimin, which led to the deterioration of the relationship between the three brothers.
After Li Jiancheng poisoned himself with poisoned wine, he organized a coup d'état.
Li Jiancheng has set traps many times to lure Li Shimin, but Li Shimin is very clever and can surprisingly avoid them completely every time. This infuriated Li Jiancheng, and he began to hatch more insidious plans. He began to hatch an even more insidious plan, which was to get rid of Li Shimin so that he would not get into trouble in the future.
One night, Li Jiancheng ordered the slave to go to the Qin Palace, saying that he was inviting his other younger brother to the Qin Palace. Although Li Shimin was afraid of the prince, he thought about it again that the prince was his brother, and he would not die if he drank wine.
Unexpectedly, Li Shimin still underestimated the prince's indifference to brotherhood. As soon as he entered the prince's mansion, Li Jiancheng went out to greet him in person without waiting for the housekeeper to report. When he was seated, the prince personally poured wine for his second brother. Li Shimin did not doubt him, and drank it all.
After a while, Li Shimin suddenly realized that the wine was poisonous!Seeing this scene, Li Jiancheng was overjoyed, thinking that the biggest enemy tonight would definitely die, and the crown prince's position was finally secured.
Suddenly, King Shentong of Huai'an ignored everyone's obstruction, ran into the main hall, and returned home with the weak Li Shimin in his arms. Hearing the bad news of his son's poisoning, Li Yuan hurriedly reported to the imperial doctor, who took her from the palace to the palace of the Qin prince.
Fortunately, although Li Shimin was poisoned, it was only in the cup, and the poison did not invade the internal organs.
Later, Li Yuan severely reprimanded the prince for this matter, Li Shimin also felt cold to his brother, and under the advice of the strategist, he decided to get rid of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, and then, the famous Xuanwumen changes followed, and Li Shimin finally broke through many obstacles and was elected as the prince.
Li Shimin also drank the poisonous wine given to him by Li Jiancheng, and he should have died on Huangquan Road, but fortunately, Li Shentong came to the rescue, and his physical fitness was excellent, so he escaped death and saved his life. As the saying goes, if you don't die, you will have a blessing. Li Shimin finally ascended to the throne as he wished, and achieved great success, making Zhenguan's rule prosperous.
To evaluate a historical figure, it must be divided into two. In order to inherit the throne, Li Shimin disregarded the flesh and blood feelings of his mother and compatriots, planned the Xuanwumen Incident, and brutally shot Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji. This was not enough, he also turned their descendants and families into civilians and even sentenced them to death.
It can be seen from this that Li Shimin is indeed ruthless, cruel and vicious. However, from another point of view, since Li Shimin ascended the throne, he has recruited a wide range of wise men and humbly sought advice. In the end, the great goal of national peace and security was achieved, and even China became the most advanced and developed country in the world at that time
