Chapter 59 Chapter Fifty-ninth: Emperor Gaozu of Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin, Wei Xuancheng Admonishes Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty

Li Jiancheng was born in the ninth year of Emperor Kaihuang (AD 589) of the Sui Dynasty, at the age of thirty-seven; Li Yuanji was born in the third year of Sui Dynasty's life (AD 603), at the age of twenty-three.At that time, the population of the world was very small, and naturally no one was punished for having more children. People were more responsible for carrying on the family line and honoring the lintel.Under this trend, the passionate Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji devoted half of their youth to this great historical mission.They have many wives and concubines and many children. In contrast, Li Jiancheng's sense of mission is obviously not as strong as that of Li Yuanji. Li Jiancheng gave birth to six sons and two daughters in one go, while Li Yuanji gave birth to five sons and many daughters in one go.Although there is not much difference in the number of sons, a discerning person can tell at a glance that Li Yuanji's five years of work has already reached the level of Li Jiancheng's twenty years of work.Li Jiancheng's family was unfortunate. His eldest son, Li Chengzong, died as soon as he was born. He had five sons at the time of the Xuanwumen Incident, which was equal to the number of Li Yuanji's sons.

Can not leave hidden dangers. Whether you call me uncle or uncle, none of you can live.This is not a question that can be hesitated. The hatred of killing one's father is irreconcilable. If you want to avoid future troubles, you must cut the roots!Therefore, Li Shimin pulled down the list of all his nephews. Li Jianzi: Anlu King Li Chengdao Li Chengde, King of Hedong Li Chengxun, King of Wu'an Runan Wang Li Chengming Julu King Li Chengyi Li Yuanjizi: Liangjun Wang Li Chengye Yuyang Wang Li Chengluan Pu'an King Lee Seung Award Jiang Xia Wang Li Chengyu Li Chengdu, king of Yiyang

All were killed. Is it finished?It's not over yet. Killed males, daughters, wives, and the rest of the party.With so many people, it is very troublesome to kill.Don't worry, Li Shimin has already figured out what to do. Treat lesbians like gay men. Gay men should be killed and lesbians should be kept. Few people have noticed what the future holds for the daughters of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji. Li Jiancheng has two daughters in total, and Li Yuanji has multiple daughters. If they are not properly arranged, there may be troubles in the future.Li Jiancheng's eldest daughter, Li Shi, has no relevant information. Next, Li Jiancheng's second daughter, Li Wanshun.Li Shimin arranged for her properly.On the day Li Jiancheng was killed, she was only two years old, and she lived in the harem until she was seventeen, and she did not marry an unknown official until later.Li Yuanji had many daughters, all of whom were arranged by Li Shimin to marry.

Li Shimin treated these nieces very well, and arranged for them to marry.I checked and found that these nieces were all from noble families in the dynasty, and most of them were loyal to Li Shimin.After dealing with the children's issue, it's the turn of the buddies.Think carefully about the insults these generals and literati have suffered!Many of these people proposed to ransack all the houses of the prince and King Qi's buddies, in order to relieve the hatred of themselves or their relatives who were killed (sent to prison, sat on a tiger bench, and poured pepper water).Li Shimin also felt uncomfortable.

Could it be that if they are all wiped out, they will never be able to stand up again? "It was those two people who wanted to kill us, and they have been exterminated now. If we must involve the branch party, I am afraid it is not the way to seek peace." It was not Li Shimin who spoke, but Yuchi Jingde.Li Shimin looked at the man in front of him, a tall man of 1.9 meters, who was vigorous and resolute when fighting, and kind and rational when discussing affairs.Da Laohei almost let them kill him, but he said such a thing.Everyone was a little dissatisfied, but they had nothing to say, and looked at Li Shimin one after another.Li Shimin expressed his thoughts to the officials: "Not only will I not pursue the responsibility of building the remaining party, but I will also amnesty the world!"

Li Shimin knew that killing Li Jiancheng was like killing Dou Jiande, and it was fine if Dou Jiande died, and if he killed his subordinates, he would force out Liu Heitai.Now, Feng Li, Xie Shufang and others are at large. If they insist on hunting them down, it will definitely lead to nationwide turmoil.Li Shimin accepted Li Yuan's lesson and would not make mistakes that he thought he was right on major issues. He pardoned everyone's sins (although they were not guilty). On the seventh day of June in the ninth year of Wude (July 5, 626 AD), Li Yuan canonized Li Shimin as the crown prince.

On June 16th, Li Yuan ordered Pei Ji to issue an edict: "I shall be honored as the Supreme Emperor." Someone was pleasantly surprised. After waiting for so many years, it was finally Tang Taizong's turn to appear. Whenever I think of Tang Taizong Li Shimin, I am so excited that I can't sleep!I thought I should cover the man's head with a big rag, and push him down on the sofa for half an hour.People only said that Li Yuan became the Supreme Emperor, not Li Shimin's ascension to the throne. Although the ascension of the new emperor and the resignation of the old emperor to the second line were related, they were not the same thing at all.

During this time, the Tang Dynasty had no emperor. However, all the affairs of the court have been handed over to Prince Li Shimin, and Li Yuan is in charge of the government.Because the former prince Li Jiancheng's subordinates had an unforgettable hatred for Li Shimin's subordinates, so when Li Shimin held a meeting for everyone, the prince's old party felt uneasy, for fear that Li Shimin would call him by name.If you don't pay attention when you speak again, if you mispronounce half a word, your life will be in danger.Li Shimin is also true. When discussing politics, he often asks people some very sensitive questions, which makes everyone unable to calm down.

For example, he asked Zhang San, Li Jiancheng's former subordinate: "The former prince loved to drink. When you drank with him, should you be bored or lick it?" Zhang San was speechless, because no matter what you said, you would offend Li Shimin.Li Shimin likes to use this method to shock the prince's old party, and he likes to see the fear that satisfies him from their eyes. However, there was one person who faced Li Shimin's doubts without any fear, with a natural expression.When everyone else was sweating for him, this man was still very arrogant, contemptuously despising Li Shimin with the corner of his eyes (commonly known as "side light").This person's arrogance and wisdom made Li Shimin ashamed.

He is one of the most famous ministers in Chinese history. He is Li Shimin's nemesis and a blessed general in his life. If you ask Li Shimin's life's troubles, his life's political achievements, and his life's reputation, he must be mentioned.Li Shimin has never been afraid of anyone in his life, but this person.He is the most famous admonisher in Chinese history, politician, historian, and brewing expert Wei Zhengwei Xuancheng. Wei Zheng, male, Han nationality.Born in 580 A.D., from Julu, Hebei, a hero of the Tang Dynasty.Wei Zheng's place of birth has always been controversial. In fact, in my opinion, to say who a person is is not based on where he was born, but where he is most influenced.Wei Zheng's father died when he was very young, and his family was very poor, but because his father was also a scholar, he also read a lot.Wei Zheng had great ambitions when he was a teenager, and he had the idea of ​​helping the country. Many people thought that he should be more realistic and work in the fields to grow vegetables or be a bricklayer or something.

Wei Zheng doesn't care about this very much, and often motivates himself with lofty ambitions. The world is stable and life is poor. For the sake of future, Wei Zheng became a Taoist priest.As we all know, being a Taoist priest does not need to pay taxes, and can hide from the world. It is a must-have activity for meditation, leisure, travel and reading.It was in the process of being a Taoist priest that Wei Zheng cultivated his eloquence and upright disposition, especially his uprightness and adherence to principles.Li Shimin was tortured by it all his life, but as an excellent emperor, he turned his dislike of Wei Zheng into awe, and turned his awe into dependence. Wei Zheng is neither handsome nor ugly, with average skin, average hairstyle, and not very good-looking figure, he is a very average person.However, if you want to watch handsome guys, I advise you to go to Park Junnan or Kim Won Gil from a Korean plastic surgery hospital instead of watching Tang history here.If you want to watch the history, please continue to pay attention. After that, Wei Zheng will become a core figure in history. Wei Zheng's whole body is generally terrible, but only his eyes and complexion give people a sense of awe-inspiring beauty.This shows that in his cerebral cortex, there are countless good strategies for governing the country and the people. Sharp eyes and a calm complexion, this is Wei Zheng's performance when Li Shimin reprimanded Wei Zheng. Li Shimin does not intend to punish Li Jiancheng for the crime of the old party, but he likes to provoke people.Li Shimin was very proud to see those old buildings that were trembling and did not dare to move.However, when he saw Wei Zheng, he found that this guy who once advised Li Jiancheng and strongly advised Li Jiancheng to kill him, could face him with such a thick skin and such a calm expression!The more Li Shimin looked at it, the more disgusting he felt, thinking: This guy doesn't take me, the new prince, seriously!No, I have to scare him! Li Shimin wants to give Wei Zheng a blow. "Why do you separate us brothers, guilty minister, tell me!" Li Shimin looked at Wei Zheng and asked. Everyone showed a look of panic, except Wei Zheng, who was even a little complacent. Faced with Li Shimin's questioning, Wei Zheng's face was slightly raised, and he seemed to be mocking, and said in a surprising tone: "If the prince had listened to me earlier, you would have died. How can this matter exist today!" The guy is dying!Li Shimin's heart was filled with a huge wave of fishy smell, and after a few seconds, he smiled.He decided on a truth: this Wei Zheng, I have always heard that he is talented, but now it seems that he is not only talented, but also kind.Only such a person is the indispensable talent of our Tang Dynasty to help the world and stabilize the country! Li Shimin not only didn't play Wei Zheng anymore, but treated him solemnly and courteously, made him take charge of government affairs, and at the same time let him assume the duty of advising the doctor.Remember, starting today, Datang has an admonishing doctor named Wei Zheng, who will use his actions to clarify for us what is truly for the sake of the people, and what is truly unyielding! Next, Li Shimin ordered the hawks and dogs in the palace to be exiled, the offerings from all directions were stopped, and all officials were allowed to perform their duties, and the political affairs were stable. In late June, there were few criminal cases. There was only one extraordinarily serious case, and it was also the only extraordinarily serious case of injustice when Li Shimin first came to power.Li Shimin learned that Wang Junkuo captured Lujiang Wang Li Yuan, the governor of Youzhou, because Li Yuan, who was in Youzhou, wanted to rebel.The people who participated in the prince's killing of the King of Qin before will definitely not be accused as long as they don't make trouble anymore, but you can't rebel.Li Yuan really didn't know how much he weighed, so he dared to fight against Li Shimin.But what Li Shimin didn't know was that Wang Junkuo's arrest of the anti-Wang Li Yuan fully proved Wang Junkuo's habit of local gangsters.It was because Wang Junkuo was shameless that Li Yuan died without a place to bury him. Li Yuan is a relative of the emperor, but he lacks general talents, so Li Yuan sent Wang Junkuo to assist him.When Li Jiancheng planned to destroy Li Shimin, he enlisted Li Yuan's support.After Li Jiancheng died, Li Shimin comforted Li Yuan, but Li Yuan couldn't judge whether the matter was good or bad, so he asked Wang Junkuo.Wang Junkuo is a hooligan. He was born as a hooligan since he was a child, and his intentions are extremely dishonest.When Li Yuan talked to him about accepting the surrender, the first thing he thought of was to capture Li Yuan and invite Li Shimin for a reward.Therefore, Wang Junkuo said to Li Yuan: "If the king goes, he will definitely die. Now we have tens of thousands of powerful soldiers at hand, should we just capture them without a fight?" Li Yuan couldn't help crying when he heard Wang Junkuo say this.Seeing Li Yuan weeping, Wang Junkuo also cried. Cry, keep crying... After crying, the sincere Li Yuan said to the hypocritical Wang Junkuo: "My life is in the hands of the general, and if you revolt, revolt!" Wang Junkuo was overjoyed, he was going to kill Li Yuan to death.During the preparation, someone told Li Yuan that Wang Junkuo is a villain, so it is better to let Wang Shen take his place.Unfortunately, this matter was known by Wang Junkuo.So Wang Junkuo ran to Wang Shen's house.At this time, Wang Shen was taking a bath. He heard that Wang Junkuo was coming. He wanted to see a guest, didn't he?So, it came out with twisted hair (ancient men with long hair).When Wang Junkuo saw Wang Shen twisting his hair, without saying a word, he went up and grabbed his hair, and chopped off his head with a machete.He took Wang Shen's head and ran to the army, showed it to everyone, and said loudly: "Li Yuan and Wang Shen conspired against each other. Now, Wang Shen has been killed by me, and Li Yuan is left alone. Is there any one of you who is willing to follow?" I'm going to suppress the rebellion, and when it's done, I'll enjoy endless glory and wealth!" Therefore, a group of patriotic soldiers expressed their willingness to follow Wang Junkuo to hunt for the thieves.Li Yuan was caught off guard and gathered hundreds of soldiers to resist. Wang Junkuo didn't want to bother, and said to them directly: "Li Yuan is a traitor. You are fighting against the king's teacher. Are you looking for death?" After hearing this, Li Yuan The subordinates fled one after another.Li Yuan was arrested by Wang Junkuo. In prison, he reprimanded: "I was killed by a villain, not disloyal to the country!" Afterwards, Wang Junkuo replaced Li Yuan and was promoted to be the governor of Youzhou. The imperial court confiscated all of Li Yuan's properties and bestowed them all on Wang Junkuo. In this way, the biggest unjust case under Li Shimin's nose happened, and Wang Junkuo achieved his goal.But don't be complacent, one year later, Wang Junkuo will die. On the third day of July, Chai Shao defeated the Turks. In mid-July, Li Shimin reset all the officials and ordered that no one should expose the remnants of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuan scattered in various places, and those who disobeyed the order would be executed. Political stability. On the eighth day of August, Li Yuan issued an edict to pass on the throne to Li Shimin, but Li Shimin refused to accept his resignation (three concessions). On the ninth day of August in the ninth year of Wude (September 4, 626 AD), on Jiazi Day, Li Shimin was located in the Xiande Hall of the East Palace.Tang Gaozu Li Yuan abdicated and Tang Taizong Li Shimin ascended the throne. All the officials celebrated with great excitement.All the unhappiness has become history, what greets him is a brand new Tang Dynasty! Li Shimin is a very ambitious politician. It is precisely because of this ambition that he can endure the ridicule of the unworthy and the anger of the upright in order to achieve his goals; He accepts all foreign cultures and accommodates all different opinions; he is diligent and caring for the people, acts decisively, likes integrity, and has a kind personality.His ruthlessness, plagiarism, disloyalty, filial piety, and injustice all boiled down to the Xuanwumen Incident.Some people hate Yue Fei for being foolish and loyal, and some people hate Zhuge Liang for not being able to replace Adou. Now that Li Shimin has replaced Li Jiancheng, some people hate it again. It's useless to hate and hate. Li Shimin has no regrets. All the irrationality is because what Li Shimin replaced was not a tyrant like Yang Guang, but a wise king like Li Yuan.Sometimes, I really feel awkward and uneasy for Li Yuan, how lonely and lonely he must be?Li Yuan's role as an emperor of an era has come to an end. In the past nine years in power, there have been gains and losses, but more gains. He is also so respectful and corporal.Li Yuan was born in the first year of Tianhe (AD 566) in the Northern Zhou Dynasty and died in the ninth year of Zhenguan (AD 635). He lived to be seventy years old. Now Li Yuan is only sixty years old. How has Li Yuan lived these ten years? Li Shimin: I dreamed of eating biscuits, and found that my phone was gone in the morning.
