In the long history of China, the Xuanwumen Revolution is a legend of political changes, the battle of the foundation of the Tang Dynasty. What's even more remarkable is why Li Yuan did not punish his son Li Shimin, who started the rebellion, but instead put him on the throne? What kind of family and political intrigues are hidden in this historical mystery? Did Li Yuan's choice stem from paternal love or deeper political calculations?
After the Xuanwumen Incident, Li Shimin took the life and throne of his brother Li Jiancheng, the crown prince, and Li Yuan had to give way to Li Shimin. This decision was not due to Li Yuan's lack of strength, but out of helplessness and concern about the cruel situation of cannibalism. He couldn't bear to see more blood relatives killed, and in order to avoid greater turmoil, he chose to give way to protect the Li family. At the same time, he also recognized Li Shimin's bravery and ability, and believed that he could continue to bless the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty.
The transfer of power was not without its challenges. After Li Shimin succeeded to the throne, Li Yuan still occupied the Taiji Hall and was unwilling to hand it over, showing that he still held real power and put pressure on Li Shimin. Li Shimin felt embarrassed and embarrassed, but he also understood that it was difficult to confront Gaozu head-on at this time, so he could only endure the humiliation and continue to respect Pei Lian, the confidant of Gaozu, to ease the relationship.
As time passed, Li Shimin began to use iron-blooded methods to purge dissidents, depose Gaozu's confidants, and force Gaozu to make concessions. Gaozu's power weakened day by day, and finally had to give up the Taiji Palace, and the transfer of imperial power was completed. The relationship between father and son is not absolutely hostile, and Li Shimin did not kill the killer, but adopted relatively mild methods.
In the end, the compromise and concession between Li Shimin and Li Yuan stabilized the ruling core of the Tang Dynasty, and the rift between father and son gradually healed. This power struggle was not a brutal battle, but a political game, showing Li Shimin's wisdom and Li Yuan's restraint. They chose rationality and compromise, which eventually led to peace and prosperity.
There is no shortage of heroes in history, but peace and prosperity are what the people need. The story of Li Shimin and Li Yuan is a historical chapter full of wisdom and compromise, and it is also the best commentary on the peaceful and prosperous era.
