"Especially in the later period, he became rebellious and crazy, and his "abnormal" doting on his male favorite was more like a breakthrough for catharsis."

"And he thinks Li Tai is dangerous. It is most likely that he is sensitive to Li Tai's threat and aggression towards him. Li Tai's thoughts and behavior make Li Chengqian especially alert and vigilant."

"As for the ninth son of the emperor, Li Zhi, he is purely an innocent player who "fights with the snipe and the clam, and the fisherman wins."

"Although he deposed the crown prince Li Chengqian, it stands to reason that Li Shimin loved his third son Li Tai so much that he should have given the throne to him naturally, but it didn't work out."

"In "Zi Zhi Tong Jian", Li Shimin said this: "If I establish Tai Tai, the crown prince's position can be obtained. From now on, the crown prince has lost his way, and the vassal kings who are watching have all abandoned him. The descendants will always be the successors. If Tai is established, then the inheritance of Qian and the rule will be incomplete; if the rule is established, then both the inheritance of Qian and Tai will be fine. "

"Li Shimin's words are particularly wise. Choosing Li Zhi to be his next successor is also a better decision to save his three sons."

"Maybe this was Li Shimin's "way to be a king," but he didn't expect that Li Zhi would lose the throne to a woman."

"The reason why Li Shimin chose Li Zhi was mainly to learn from his own experience in the Xuanwu Sect, because Li Zhi has mediocre qualifications, is modest, and can treat his brothers well."

"But the result was not what Li Shimin thought. After Li Zhi came to power, Princess Gaoyang and Fang Yiai conspired to launch a palace coup. Changsun Wuji used this to let them slander Li Ke."

"The king of Wu, Li Ke, died because he had a high reputation and was very attracted by material sentiments." Before his death, Li Ke shouted: "If God has a spirit, all the eldest grandson's family will be killed." "

"Changsun Wuji and Chu Suiliang eliminated political opponents on a large scale. As a result, when Wu Zetian came to power and began to harm the Li Tang clan, she was not protected by brave ministers like the dead talents such as Li Ke, Li Daozong, Xue Wanche, and Zhi lost Sili. "

"If Li Shimin had not chosen Li Zhi but Li Ke, Wu Zetian would not have appeared, and of course Di Renjie might not have appeared in the future."

"In the end, the Changsun Wuji and Chu Suiliang families were finally purged by Wu Zetian, which can be said to have fulfilled Li Ke's last words."

"Finally, Li Longji began to clean up the mess, launched the Tang Long coup, and successfully revived the Tang Dynasty."

"Li Longji didn't have to say anything in the early stage, otherwise I wouldn't have shortened his life by 20 years."

Li Longji: ...

Li Shimin: If it were not a matter of political power, I would have appointed Li Ke. This kid, Zhinu, was really honest when he was the prince. When he was like this, I was really worried about letting him succeed. How could you not let him succeed? Anyone else?

Bai Qi: As I said before, you were asking Changsun Wuji about the crown prince, right? You are so funny, what kind words can his eldest son Wuji say?

Liu Che: Although this is true, Li Ke has no success in becoming emperor at all. He has no one!

Yang Jian: I think the fault this time should be more appropriately described as failure to teach a child well!
Fan Zhongyan: This is an unpleasant thing to say, but it is indeed true. Taizong had many children, and it seems that only a few of them died well in the end! "That's right!" Zhang Yanxi agreed with what Yang Jian said.

"I did some calculations and found that there were more than 700 emperors and 25 dynasties in ancient times. The classic short-lived dynasties are the Qin Dynasty and the Sui Dynasty."

"In fact, the Tang Dynasty almost became a short-lived dynasty."

"It is said that Li Shimin has 35 children in total, 14 sons and 21 daughters."

"But his sons are very pitiful. Three of them were killed, three committed suicide, three died early, one was trapped in claustrophobia, the fourth prince, Li Tai, and two were demoted to common people. Only two princes died well. "

"Three of the princes who were killed were: the third prince, King Wu Li Ke, the fifth prince, Li You, the tenth prince, and King Ji Li Shen. These were all killed."

"Three of them committed suicide: the seventh prince, King Jiang Li Yun, the eighth prince, King Li Zhen of Yue, and the fourteenth prince, King Cao Li Ming."

"Only the ninth prince, Li Zhi, is left, and the 13th prince, Li Fu, has a good death."

"Actually, looking at these princes, Tang Taizong Li Shimin's fertility is still acceptable. Although he spent half of his life in the military, it did not delay his "fighting and giving birth" and gave birth to fourteen sons in one go. But these fourteen sons, Only two died later than Li Shimin."

"When it comes to Li Shimin's inability to teach his children, Li Chengqian must be one of them. Of course, he has his own reasons."

"Normally, under the influence of a group of loyal and upright civil servants and generals, Wen Neng should be the one who wrote the book to bring peace to the world, and Wu Neng was the one who stepped up to make things right. However, after being established as the prince, he did not imitate the good and bad, and his character was quite violent."

"It is the fault of a father who failed to raise him. As a generation of British masters, Li Shimin's son has such a twisted personality. It cannot be said that it is not the result of Li Shimin's neglect of discipline or even his indulgence."

Cao Cao: This Li Chengqian did not learn from his father's wisdom, martial arts, and obedient advice, but he wanted to imitate his father and do the "Xuanwu Gate Incident". However, he never thought that Li Shimin was the one who killed his brother and his brother and imprisoned his father to steal it. Emperor, how can you, a child like you, be your opponent? As a result, three times five divided by two, the "father and teacher" must have deposed him as a commoner!

Di Renjie: This kid is a little too arrogant later on. He actually dares to say: "When I become the emperor, I can do whatever I want. If I kill someone like Wei Zheng, I won't believe that I killed five people." Hundreds of them, and they still won't stop!" These words are really distorted and unseemly.

Huang Taiji: In fact, after Li Chengqian rebelled and was deposed, Li Shimin once wanted to make Wei Wang Li Tai the crown prince. However, under the firm opposition of his uncle, Changsun Wuji, he had no choice but to make Li Zhi.

Qianlong: But after a while, seeing that boy Li Zhi wilting all day long, Taizong wanted to replace him, but he asked the wrong person. He actually asked Changsun Wuji for his opinion. How could he say: "You advise?" I make Li Zhi the prince, but this kid has a cowardly character and may not be able to defend the country. I think Li Ke is brave and courageous, just like me. I want to make him the prince, what do you think?" Just say that in vain, don't you? See who you asked?

Bao Zheng: Emperor Taizong, who "follows his advice like a trove", really asked the wrong person. Li Zhi's biological mother is Changsun Wuji's sister, Empress Changsun, and Li Ke's biological mother is the daughter of Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty. You said that he has always helped. How would the unhelpful Changsun Wuji respond?

Zhao Kuangyin: It’s not surprising at all. Changsun Wuji replied that it must not be exchanged. This is indeed the case. At that time, Changsun Wuji said, “Prince Li Zhi is loyal, benevolent and filial and cannot be abolished. Besides, changing the prince is not conducive to stability. "This sentence blocked Taizong's mouth.
