In the long history of the Tang Dynasty, a story that is both tortuous and confusing quietly unfolds. Through time, we are in the power dispute between Li Yuan, Li Shimin, and Li Jiancheng, as if we have experienced it ourselves. The political situation in this period is like a treacherous pictureIt's elusive.

At first, Li Yuan did not have the ambition to rebel against the Sui Dynasty, and his own son Li Shimin, although he showed outstanding talent, his father did not choose to make him the crown prince. This aroused endless suspicions: Didn't Li Yuan know Li Shimin's excellence?

Digging deeper into the historical details, we discovered Li Yuan's understanding of Li Shimin. Li Shimin's vision became more and more long-term, and he was keenly aware that the fate of the Sui Dynasty had come to an end. He proposed an anti-Sui plan, which aroused Li Yuan's interest. Li Yuan understands that Li Shimin's heart is ambitious, the son of this wolf's ambitionProbably not the next emperor he hoped for.

As a result, Li Yuan faced a dilemma: although he did not want his son to embark on the path of a careerist, he had to rely on his talents. Li Yuan chose a trade-off in the political arenaLi Jian was established as the crown prince, and Li Shimin was left on the battlefield to make contributions.

It's not that simple. Li Shimin's ambitions are increasing day by dayThe accumulation of military exploits made his reputation even more and more high. Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng tried to weaken Li Shimin's power, but in the weakening of their own son, they were obviously a little hesitant and a little unbearable. Li Jiancheng also seemed powerless in this power game, and in the face of Li Shimin's powerful men, he was obviously unable to completely subvert the situation.

The change of Xuanwumen became a critical moment in history. In order to avoid internal chaos, Li Shimin chose to get rid of Li Jiancheng and successfully seized the crown prince. This cruel decision, perhaps out of national interest to avoid greater civil unrest. After all,Li Shimin, as a generation of Ming monarchs, his reign laid the cornerstone for the rise of the Tang Dynasty, and it is still unknown whether Li Jiancheng can achieve such brilliant achievements.

This history,It's like a drama, confusing. Li Yuan faced all kinds of contradictions between his family, the country, and his children. The traditional concept of establishing a successor and establishing a long son bound him, so that he could not easily pass the eldest son and directly appoint Li Shimin as the crown prince. This may be the "rule" left by the ancestors, but at the same time, it has also buried many waves in history.

Li Shimin successfully ascended the throne, and the rule of Zhenguan became a brilliant history. We may be able to think about what if there is a subtle change in the course of historyIf Li Jiancheng succeeds to the throne,Whether Datang can still be as brilliant as it used to be, this question may never be known.

Let's look back at this history and think about the twists and turns and inevitability. In the comment area, readers are welcome to share your views, let's ** this history of the Tang Dynasty together, leave your comments!
