In the chapter of Chinese history, the Xuanwumen Revolution launched by Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, is a controversial historical node. Conventional interpretations see it as a political last resort, but is the truth of history so simple? What kind of conspiracy, conspiracy, and complex plot are hidden in this thought-provoking historical question?
Did Tang Taizong fall into a situation where he could not turn back and was forced to take this decision? Perhaps there is a more profound story in the complex intertwining of political struggles, family relationships, and national righteousness.
Let's travel through the fog of time, reveal the real historical inside story behind the Xuanwumen Change, and explore the pressure and historical complexities of Tang Taizong Li Shimin's decision. This may be a story of political turmoil, which contains profound human considerations and the inadmissibility of history.
In the ninth year of Wude, the world was initially decided, and the foundation of Datang was like a baby. Gaozu Li Yuan tried his best to disagree with the people, and insisted on dividing the prince as the king and leading the feudal town with the king. The crown prince built the Lingsi East Palace, the king of Qi Yuanji was in charge of the north, and the king of Qin, Shimin, led his troops to the expedition. With three legs, Gao Zufang was able to stabilize the country.
At first glance, brother and brother are respectful. In fact, in Hedong and Hebei, the three kings held each other, and each formed a party for personal gain. The crown prince was deeply favored by Gaozu, relying on his father's prestige, indulging in greed, and fornicating with his concubine all day long. King Yuan Jigong of Qi was shocking to the lord, and he was not convinced in his heart, so he befriended his henchmen and the court, and secretly restrained the prince everywhere. King Shimin of Qin made great contributions, and he was handsome and disregarded in government affairs. The three-legged situation is stable on the surface, but in fact, there is already an undercurrent, and the upheaval is in the day.
Internal and external troubles abounded, and the Turks repeatedly invaded the border. The world is undecided, and the three-legged tripod is in jeopardy. Gaozu gradually felt exhausted, and the government became more and more scattered. The prince indulged in lust, the king of Qi formed a party for personal gain, and the king of Qin fought abroad for many years.
The situation of the feudal towns is in a stalemate, and the unconventional dispatch is controllable. At this time, the Quartet came to the court to write a large number of scholars, or persuaded Gaozu to depose the prince and set up the king of Qin instead; or worried about the misalignment of power and responsibility, advocating the reorganization of the government. Gaozu weighed it repeatedly, but it was difficult to make a choice.
In the early morning of June 3, bad news came from the palace of King Qin. It was secretly reported that the king of Qi colluded with the crown prince, plotted against him, and repeatedly lured the palace maids to commit adultery. This is not the first time the crown prince has suffered such a move, but joining forces with the King of Qi is shocking. Only then did the people realize that the dark tide in the court was turbulent, and their own strength was weak. If we don't prepare early, the congregation will rebel and perish.
The people of the world were furious, and immediately led their henchmen to the palace of Gaozu to report. Li Yuan was also shocked when he heard the news, he thought that his sons were just some innocuous fornication incidents. Today, Fang knows that the catastrophe has been put in his heart, and it is also a strong reminder of his dereliction of duty. Immediately summon the ministers to consult.
The seven important ministers of the court were fleeting, and soon arrived at the front hall of Qi Taiji. Li Yuan's expression was grim, and he said to everyone, I can't even take care of family affairs, how can I face the world in a bright and bright way! The words are full of self-blame and helplessness.
At this time, the death date of the crown prince and the king of Qi has been set. Shimin had already arranged for his henchmen to control all the doors of the temple to prevent anyone from leaving to ventilate and report the news. Between the words, the ministers also knew about today's drama, but they didn't say it explicitly. In the end, the people confronted the people in the court the next day. There was no word for a night, and each had a ghost. The palace of King Qin has already laid a net of heaven and earth, just waiting to be attacked.
Before dawn on June 4, Shimin had already led his army to Xuanwu Gate. At this time, the inside and outside of the Xuanwu Gate had been fully controlled by the henchmen of the King of Qin. In the midst of the world's best plans, it is expected that Gaozu will inevitably let the prince come to deal with it in person. At that time, killing two birds with one stone, two major henchmen can be eliminated.
Just as the sun was rising, the crown prince and the king of Qi arrived as scheduled. After the completion of the dozens of guards, complacent. Before Shimin could speak, there was a sudden buzz of bowstrings, and more than a dozen feather arrows broke through the air, shooting at the prince's vital point in unison! The completion fell to the ground in response, and the red glazed tiles were stained with blood. Immediately after that, several arrows were shot into the chest of King Qi, and Yuan Ji was killed on the spot.
Shimin looked solemn and led the army into the Taiji Palace. At this time, Li Yuan was discussing countermeasures with his ministers, when he suddenly heard screams outside. Before he could think about it, the door of the palace was opened, and King Qin knelt down to apologize. The ministers present suddenly realized that this was a long-planned coup d'état!
Li Yuan changed color and was about to denounce him, but the seven important ministers stood up one after another to admonish. This coup d'état is bound to happen, and I hope Your Majesty will know it. Li Yuan clenched his fists and pinched his knuckles white. After a long time, he still nodded helplessly, announcing that Jiancheng had rebelled against Yuanji, and King Qin would carry out justice. At this point, the three-legged situation has completely collapsed. The world is under the control of the people.
After the successful coup, the people of the world quickly took control of the situation. On the one hand, he appeased *** Yu, opened his grace and forgiveness, and won the hearts of the people; On the one hand, he sent his henchman Pei Ju into the palace, held high the holy decree, and stabilized the eunuchs in the palace. The rebellion of the East Palace and the Qi Mansion subsided one by one, and the world gradually calmed down.
This series of measures all shows the extremely strong scheming skills and resolute courage of the people of the world. But we can't ignore that this also reflects Gaozu's political wisdom. Shimin's move is not only a consideration of power, but also a request of Li Yuan. The coup d'état is a foregone conclusion, and only when the world is peaceful can the foundation of ZTE be continued. As a result, the two sides reached a tacit understanding that they must work together to deal with internal and external troubles.
The three-legged tripod has collapsed, and only the people of the world are left among the sons of Gaozu. The regime is now in the hands of the people, and Li Yuan knows that the general trend has gone. At this time, the bloodbath of the court is not beneficial to the overall situation, and only selflessness and fearlessness can we change and entrust the country to a virtuous person. So Gaozu was resolute and soon regained his imperial bearing and reached a reconciliation with the people. Still, the aftermath of the coup has stirred up some restlessness.
The turmoil of the Xuanwumen Revolution has never subsided. Li Ming, the king of Lujiang, rebelled, Luo Yi took advantage of the gap, Li Youliang, the king of Changle, was killed, and the Turks reached the city of Chang'an. Endless internal and external troubles followed, and the road for the people of the world was not smooth.
Li Ming, the king of Lujiang, and Prince Jiancheng have always been good friends. After the coup broke out, Li Ying was shocked and immediately raised troops to resist to show his disobedience. Shimin sent his henchman Li Xiaobo to crusade, and Li Ying was killed by the enemy. The ensuing situation of political rivalry shows no signs of abating.
Many ministers of the DPRK and China are still faintly dissatisfied with the people's adherence to the government. There are also some military generals and cronies who have been killed by the people of the world, and their hearts are strongly unjust. All of these hidden dangers are like a time bomb, which seriously threatens the regime of the people. When the external situation became increasingly severe, the people of the world also imposed a third-class punishment and reorganized the dynasty by harsh means.
After several years of hardships and twists and turns, the world has been decided. The people of the world also paid a huge price, and their gray hair was like an old man. His father Li Yuan also died in the third year of Taihe, and Shimin succeeded to the throne as emperor, creating the glory of the Tang Dynasty. The handsome seal that unified the Tang Dynasty was in his hands, and Li Shimin did not dare to slack off at all times, so he finally came to this day step by step.
