"The treatment of Li Yuan was not carried out. This was because Li Yuan knew that the situation was over and did not take violent measures to suppress the King of Qin. Instead, under the coercion of Yuchi Jingde, he allowed the King of Qin's party to invade the East Palace again and destroy his own The emperor's grandson, the son of Prince Li Jiancheng, must eradicate the evil."

"It is conceivable that Li Shimin was ruthless to his brothers and his nephew. If Li Yuan did not obey, the King of Qin Group would definitely kill the king and usurp the throne."

"It is precisely because the actions of forcing the great ancestor Li Yuan by force and killing his brothers to the point of genocide are not tolerated by feudal etiquette and disdainful by human ethics and morality, that Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, significantly tampered with historical records."

"Therefore, the so-called informants on the prince's arrangements on the eve of the incident recorded in the old and new Tang histories are completely a cover-up for the long-standing, well-planned and vicious conspiracy of the Xuanwu Gate Incident."

"As I said earlier, even if Li Yuan keeps his word, because Li Jiancheng has become the prince, it is impossible to abolish the prince without making mistakes and make Li Shimin the prince."

"First of all, the reason why Li Yuan and his son conquered the world in the late Sui Dynasty was because they were both wise and brave men with far-reaching vision and deployment."

"Many historical materials do not include the discussion between Li Yuan and the senior ministers about appointing the King of Qin as the crown prince. You must know that in the feudal dynasty, establishing a crown prince was a national matter, and the emperor could not act arbitrarily. What's more, Li Jiancheng was crowned crown prince early, which also involved the abolition of the crown prince. For the Tang Dynasty, whose foundation is not stable, it will not mess up its position for no reason."

"Therefore, Li Yuan will never arbitrarily promise the so-called crown prince position to Li Shimin. Doing so would treat the affairs of the general state as child's play."

"As for the later generations who claimed that Li Yuan had "abolition of Jiancheng and the title of King of Shu" and added branches and leaves to it, he only missed the previous sentence "I cannot imitate Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty."

"The meaning is very simple. Li Yuan is well aware of the dangers of deposing the crown prince and has never even thought about deposing the crown prince."

"In addition, Li Yuan always favored and protected the prince in the fights between the princes. Instead, he repeatedly reprimanded the arrogant Li Shimin. The well-known saying is, "This son has been a soldier for a long time. He is autocratic outside and was taught by scholars. It’s not going to be like my old days again.”

"A simple translation is that my son has held heavy troops for too long, and he has dominated one side. There are people around him who are bewitching him. It is completely different from before."

"What's more important is that in the early Tang Dynasty, the fight between Li Yuan's three legitimate sons was already in full swing. No matter which angle Li Yuan came from, it was impossible for Li Yuan to secretly promise Li Shimin when Li Jiancheng was the prince. This would be tantamount to adding fuel to the fire. .”

"It can be seen from this that it is even possible that the record of Emperor Gaozu privately promising King Qin to be the crown prince was a whitewash carried out by Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty in order to illegally seize the throne of emperor. If this is true, it is very ridiculous, and it further exposes the fact of the Xuanwu Gate Incident. the truth."

"Everything I say is answered by historical records. If there are different opinions, I think I am talking about unofficial history and making things up. But there are some ideas that I don't agree with. For example, in this battle, Tang Taizong was written as a little white rabbit. , is Tang Taizong Li Shimin really such a person?"

"Li Shimin was always portrayed as an aggrieved victim in his struggle with the Crown Prince and the King of Qi. It seemed that he would be killed if he did not launch the Xuanwu Gate Revolution. I think these are actually tricks to catch the wind and change his appearance. .”

"Among the records of the prince and the King of Qi murdering Li Shimin, there are two most representative cases."

"First, Li Yuan, Prince Li Jiancheng, King Qin Li Shimin, and King Qi Li Yuanji were hunting in the south of the city. When allocating horses, the prince deliberately gave the King of Qin a strong horse, hoping to kill the King of Qin during the hunting process."

"This matter is very ridiculous. Regardless of the majesty and pomp of the royal hunt, even if Li Jiancheng has the opportunity to arrange for his subordinates to change horses, Li Shimin has been able to fight for decades and has the riding skills of Zhaoling Eight Horses. There will be no clues. "

"In other words, even if there is a fierce horse, it will be easily subdued by Li Shimin." "Secondly, the prince and King Qi entertained Li Shimin to drink in the East Palace, but they poisoned the wine, causing Li Shimin to vomit several liters of blood after drinking. It was only with the support of Huai'an King Li Shentong that he returned to his palace."

"The description of the matter is vivid, and the scene, location, and witnesses are complete. It seems to be evidence that the prince and the king of Qi murdered the king of Qin."

"But anyone with a little common sense will know that if they really want to kill Qin King Li Shimin, the royal family has no shortage of effective poisons. Why do they just vomit blood after drinking it, or does the prince buy fake medicine?"

"It can be seen that the tampering of historical books by Emperor Taizong's officials has reached a crazy level. They extremely devalued the intelligence of the prince and the king of Qi, and regarded future generations as children who could make up stories at will to deceive them."

"In order to cover up his careful planning for the coup, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty recorded in the history books that he set up an ambush at Xuanwu Gate, thus echoing the hasty move mentioned above."

"But don't you know that the biggest flaw here is that the route for the Crown Prince and Prince Qi to enter the palace was ignored. Moreover, Xuanwu Gate is not the only place for the two to enter the palace. If an ambush is set up here, it will definitely be missed."

"If we want to determine the route for the Crown Prince and King Qi to enter the palace, we need to clarify the residences of the Crown Prince and King Qi, and even the destination of entering the palace. From the analysis of historical data, the Crown Prince lives in the East Palace and needs to enter Tai Chi Palace to meet Li Yuan."

"There are three routes from the East Palace to the Taiji Palace."

"First, major ceremonial events start from Jiafu Gate, the south gate of the East Palace, and go westward into the southern gates of Taiji Palace."

"Secondly, general ceremonial activities start from Yuande Gate, the north gate of the East Palace, and enter the Xuanwu Gate of the north gate of Taiji Palace through the West Inner Courtyard."

"Third, for daily walking, you use the door on the wall between the east and west palaces, which is the so-called Tongxun Gate."

"Based on the etiquette of the early Tang Dynasty, King Qi must first go to the East Palace to meet the prince, and then directly enter the Taiji Palace through the Tongxun Gate, a daily access road, and will not pass through the so-called Xuanwu Gate at all."

"It can be judged from this that the soldiers of the King of Qin did not set up an ambush at Xuanwu Gate to kill the prince and the King of Qi, but intercepted and killed them with famous swords and spears."

"In other words, no matter which door the prince and King Qi go through, they will be intercepted and killed by the well-prepared King Qin."

"As for Prince Li Jiancheng and Qi King Li Yuanji were killed, the soldiers from the East Palace and the Qi Palace came to the rescue. At this time, the Qin King's soldiers retreated to Xuanwu Gate to facilitate resistance."

"This also refutes Li Shimin's theory that he bribed Chang He, the guard of Xuanwu Gate. It is just that the guards of Xuanwu Gate were relatively neglected among the palace gates and were robbed by King Qin's soldiers."

"The reason why the coup was named Xuanwu Gate was to a large extent that Li Shimin relied on this gate to buy time. Because the prince and King Qi were killed, more than 2000 of his troops stormed Xuanwu Gate. At this time, Li Shimin quickly sent Yuchi Jingde Run to Li Yuan with your sword and weapons."
