On that quiet afternoon on the fourth day of the sixth month of the ninth year of Tang Wude, an earth-shattering scene was staged in the Tang Palace, and everything began when Li Yuan was waiting for his sons to arrive.
When Wei Chi Gong broke into the palace gate and announced that the crown prince and his fourth son had been killed, Li Yuan was shocked. He was incredulous at Li Shimin's callous behavior and heartbroken that his sons had died too miserably. However, in the face of his son's ruthless behavior, Li Yuan felt helpless and sad.
Li Yuan realized that the situation was irreparable, and took the initiative to hand over power to Li Shimin and make him the crown prince. Li Shimin decisively cleaned up the political situation, dismissed the palace maids and drove out his right-hand man Pei Lian in order to consolidate his dominance.
Data shows that in the process of Li Shimin's clean-up of the political situation, a total of 3,000 palace maids were dismissed, including some women close to Li Yuan, a decision that greatly weakened Li Yuan's influence in the court and made his loneliness even stronger.
Li Yuan felt extremely lonely and lost after his abdication, and felt puzzled and regretful about Li Shimin's style of acting. He thought that Li Shimin was too cold and unwilling to understand his hardships and inner struggles.
The data shows that Li Yuan's psychological state after his abdication was greatly affected, and he even had symptoms of depression. According to historical records, he once spent a long period of solitude in the Tai Chi Palace, and his quality of life decreased significantly, and this period is also known as the loneliest stage of his life.
Despite this, Li Yuan finally understood and accepted Li Shimin's decision. He believes that Li Shimin's resolute disposition has laid the foundation for the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty and is for the stability and long-term peace and stability of the country.
Through historical records, we can see that after Li Shimin succeeded to the throne, the Tang regime gradually stabilized, social order was restored, the economy and culture flourished, and the situation of the prosperous Tang Dynasty gradually emerged. This period is known as the rule of Zhenguan and is known as the ** era in ancient Chinese history.
This transfer of power to the Tang royal family is not only a political struggle, but also a manifestation of bloody politics. The relationship between Li Yuan and Li Shimin is complex and profound, and has become the cornerstone of the Tang Dynasty. In the long history of political struggle and human struggle, we cannot help but reflect on the relationship between power and responsibility, personal emotions and the destiny of the country.
