Chapter 137 Li Chengqian’s rebellion ([-])
Qin Shihuang: I thought of Fusu. Looking at the results of the two of them, Li Chengqian did better than my son Fusu. He was called a "nerd" in a bad way. A prince was indecisive and incompetent in all aspects. Even so, I didn't think about it. If it were him, Fusu was not smart, but he knew how to learn, and Confucianism was not good at it. I would change it to someone else, and I could even teach it myself, because I have determined that this prince, even if he is absolutely not good at all, I will directly change him. People, instead of blowing wind, let them go astray!
Qin Shihuang: What is Hu Hai like?Zhao Gao knows it, and I know it even better!He is not that material, and I never expected that he would ascend to the throne. But after I heard that he ascended to the throne, even if the second generation did not die, I also knew that Great Qin would not be able to go far?Why is it that the prince is so good, and you, the father, who initially had high hopes for you, no longer love you?

Lu Pheasant: Maybe this is the royal family. Not everyone is the first emperor, and they always have a goal. How many women have dethroned the original crown prince because they were favored, and the son was more valuable than the mother?

Liu Xiu: Empress Lu, don’t look at how you deal with the government!

Lu Pheasant: Haha, hurry up!Someone is anxious!

Princess Guantao: Haha!LOL!Didn't he mention you by name?Are you angry?

"There is nothing wrong with what Empress Lu said. The word "Prince" means the heir to the throne in the future. If nothing happens, after the emperor dies, the Prince will legitimately succeed to the throne and become the new emperor."

"However, this is only if there are no accidents. Looking through history, there are still many people who only became princes but failed to become emperors. Prince Li Chengqian is just one of them."

"Being a prince has always been difficult, and it's the same at all times. Being a prince means that you will be the next emperor, so some people will seduce you, make political investment in you, and put their hopes on you. What’s more, some people who feel that they are not politically safe will actively instigate and persuade the prince to oppose the current emperor.”

"It is true that there are many people who were originally crown princes, but because of their mother's death and some dethronements, they were implicated in the crown prince's position. On the contrary, the sons of concubines who are favored may also be favored, just like Emperor Liu Xiu’s Love House and Crow.”

"The biggest danger for the prince is that he is actually not safe until he successfully ascends the throne. The current emperor may be replaced at any time."

"And once the prince is replaced and falls from the throne, it is difficult for him to have a good outcome. Therefore, once a prince finds that his position is not guaranteed, he will take risks and give it a try."

"There are also some who are princes and heirs to the throne. If they are unfortunate enough to meet a father who lives a long life, their situation will be very tragic and they can only be used as backup."

"Some people who are even more tragic are those who managed to survive until their father returned to the west and ascended the throne of God themselves, but they were already old and could not sit on the throne for a few days before following their father. "

"For example, Prince Renzong of Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty passed away only ten months after he ascended the throne. Wanli's eldest son also managed to survive Wanli's death, and he passed away just one month after becoming emperor. In this case, there is some impatience. The prince will also take desperate risks and want to ascend the throne in advance."

Cao Cao: This is so unlucky, haha!
"Of course, there are also successful cases of this kind of prince taking risks and taking risks when he is in danger."

"For example, in his later years, Wu Zetian favored Shangguan Wan'er, Wu Sansi, Zhang Yizhi's brothers, and Princess Taiping. As the prince, Li Xian lived in fear every day, and his sons and daughters were executed by Wu Zetian's imperial edict. Therefore, Zhang Jianzhi, Wei Yuanli and others launched the Shenlong Coup. , entered the palace, forced Wu Zetian to abdicate early, and Li Xian ascended the throne early."

Wu Zetian: I didn’t expect that it would be my turn.

Fusu: Do you also favor eunuchs?

Zhu Yuanzhang: These Her Majesty the Queen's eunuchs are not eunuchs, they are very capable and ruthless!Zhu Di: This issue of establishing a prince reminds me of the Song Dynasty.

Zhao Kuangyin: Alas!I originally followed the Tang Dynasty, but who knew it would end up differently!
Yang Jian: Tell me?

"In the Song Dynasty, they learned the lessons of the Tang Dynasty's palace coup and various princes seizing the throne, and simply formed the habit of not establishing a prince in advance. As a result, Taizu did not establish a prince, and finally his brother Taizong took away the throne. His own two sons None of them got good results.”

"The same goes for the Qing Dynasty. After many early struggles to seize the heir, they finally formed the method of collecting books in the Golden Chamber, and no longer publicly announced who was the prince."

"There are problems with the prince's style and conduct, but there are also problems with Li Shimin's way of educating his son. Various factors have increased the prince's motivation for rebellion."

"At this time, Li Chengqian already had a big psychological problem. Perhaps after the death of Congratulations, who was as beautiful as a woman, he had gone crazy! He lost his ability to think and his calmness."

"Except for Li Tai and a few others who covet the position of the East Palace, everyone sincerely treats Li Chengqian well."

"In fact, this is similar to the saying "It's all for your own good" that we often hear nowadays. No one has any ill intentions, but it just brings out all the "evil" in a person's heart.

Therefore, Li Chengqian would resent Zhang Xuansu, Yu Zhining and others, as well as his younger brother Li Tai who "shared" his father's love. When Li Shimin ordered Congratulations, who ate and lived with him, to be executed, he resented himself even more. 's father. "

"Li Chengqian gritted his teeth with hatred for the honor and favor his brother Li Tai received, and his mind was full of "I want to teach him a lesson!" "Just try to murder Li Tai."

"In the 16th year of Zhenguan, Li Chengqian failed to assassinate his younger brother Li Tai, who had the intention of scheming for an heir. He was worried that the matter would be exposed and his position as prince would not be guaranteed, so he simply refused to do anything and continued to fight with the Han king Li Yuanchang, the consort Du He, Hou Junji, etc. They colluded with others and planned to raise troops to surround Li Shimin's palace and force Emperor Taizong to abdicate."

"He wanted to imitate his father and launch the Xuanwu Gate Incident, control the palace, force Tang Taizong to abdicate early, and give him the Zen throne, so that he could ascend to the throne of God early."

"But it turned out that Li Chengqian was not well prepared and was suppressed before he started."

"Afterwards, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty attributed Li Chengqian's desperate act to the persecution of Wei King Li Tai. Therefore, when he issued an edict to depose Li Chengqian, he also demoted Wei King Li Tai and sent him into exile."

"But in fact, judging from the entire process, the real responsibility for Li Chengqian's rebellion should be borne by Tang Taizong himself, not Wei Wang Li Tai."

"How sad! Once he takes action, it becomes a situation that no one can save, and Li Chengqian ruins his great future."
