Chapter 207 The Beginning of the Legend

Chapter 207 The Beginning of the Legend

Time flew by and it was evening, and ancient people from all dynasties were all ready to watch the live broadcast.

Compared with before, everyone is particularly interested in the topical characters of tonight's live broadcast, and everyone is eagerly waiting for the anchor to start.

The reason why I am so looking forward to it is because tonight’s protagonist is Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty.

In the dynasties after the Tang Dynasty, from the princes and generals to the common people, everyone knew about Li Shimin's reputation.

Before Li Shimin appeared, emperors of various dynasties had always regarded Emperor Wen of Han as the goal of governing.

After Li Shimin appeared, the emperors of subsequent dynasties in the Tang Dynasty took Li Shimin as a role model.

This shows how important Li Shimin's position was in the minds of ancient people of all dynasties.

Even the dynasties before the Tang Dynasty all learned about Li Shimin's great achievements through the knowledge popularized by Tianmu during this period.

It is precisely because of this that everyone is looking forward to tonight's live broadcast topic.

After all, for such a great emperor, no one is not interested and everyone wants to know about Li Shimin's legendary deeds.

Of course, the person most looking forward to tonight's live broadcast is naturally the person involved, Li Shimin.

Li Shimin wanted to find out what major changes had occurred in his later years, so that Li Zhilai succeeded to the throne.

Beyond that, tonight is a chance to make a name for yourself.

For an emperor like him, gaining recognition from the people of the world is his greatest wish in life.

Since he seized the throne through dishonorable means and proclaimed himself emperor, the reason why he has worked diligently in martial arts is to gain the recognition of the people in the world, and he does not want to hear the gossip about him.

Now he knows that he has a very high reputation in the eyes of future generations, and tonight the anchor will tell in detail his great achievements.

In this way, people from all dynasties and generations all over the world will praise his good name.

In addition to Li Shimin, ministers and people during the Zhenguan period are also looking forward to it, and they also have a strong interest in the current emperor.

With the eager anticipation of ancient people from all dynasties, tonight's live broadcast started on time.

"Good evening everyone, I am the anchor Su Chen. Welcome everyone to watch the live broadcast on time."

Su Chen's bright and handsome face appeared on the sky, greeting everyone enthusiastically.

As usual, Su Chen was responded to by warm greetings from ancient people from all dynasties, and an overwhelming barrage of barrages came.

After a while, Su Chen saw that it was almost done, so he started the first session of the day.

"The anchor will introduce a person to you in detail today. He is the anchor's favorite great emperor."

"Mounting with a sword in hand, he was the top cavalry general of that era."

"By writing and governing the country, he personally created the heart-warming and prosperous era of Zhenguan."

"Genghis Khan said that those who want to secure a country must learn about Tang Zong's art of war."

"In terms of military ability, he was named General Tiance."

"In terms of his ability in governing the country, he was honored as the Khan of Heaven by his neighboring countries."

As soon as the anchor said these words, ancient people from all dynasties already knew who this person was.

Suddenly, the name of Tang Taizong Li Shimin appeared densely on the barrage.

It can be said that what the anchor said is the best summary of Tang Taizong Li Shimin, and it can be said to be very accurate.

As the greatest emperor, it is not surprising that Li Shimin received this praise.

Li Shimin looked up at the sky with a smile on his face, and those words of praise really touched his heart.

Usually there are many ministers who praise him like this, but although he is used, there is not much fluctuation.

But now the anchor praises him, which is completely different. What the anchor said represents the views of future generations.

Being able to be highly praised by future generations is extremely beneficial to him.

The subjects of the Tang Dynasty during the Zhenguan period were all smiling.

Their emperor was praised in this way in front of the ancients of all dynasties, and they were also honored and honored.

"Everyone must know who this person is. Yes, he is tonight's protagonist, Emperor Taizong Li Shimin."

"When it comes to Li Shimin's family background, the best part is that his father is the founding emperor Li Yuan."

"Speaking of other founding emperors, everyone will praise them for their talents and strategies."

"But when it comes to Li Yuan, what everyone praises most is that he gave birth to a good son, which is Li Shimin."

"So Li Yuan's most resounding title is not the founding emperor, but Li Shimin's father."

"Li Shimin is really dazzling. He started an army at the age of 17, became a marquis at the age of 19, captured two kings in one battle at the age of 22, helped his father pacify the north, and was named Tiance General."

"Li Shimin completed some of the tasks that the emperor had done for half his life before he graduated from university. He is a well-deserved legend."

Li Yuan:? ? ? What do you mean? Do I have no sense of existence? After all, I am also the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty!

His second son is indeed excellent, he admits this.

But just because the second child is so good, you can’t ignore his great achievements!

He was the founding emperor of the Tang Empire and the founder of the prosperous Tang Dynasty.

Just saying that he is Li Shimin's father erases most of his achievements in founding the Tang Dynasty. Who can bear this?

Yang Jian: Sorry, I am Yang Shimin’s father now.

Seeing Yang Shimin's great achievements, he smiled from ear to ear. He really made a lot of money by recognizing this son.

He started an army at the age of seventeen, was granted the title of Marquis by Lietu at the age of nineteen, and captured two kings in one battle at the age of twenty-two and was granted the title of General of Tiance.

Such an achievement is a hundred times more powerful than what he had achieved before.

"As we all know, the birth of legends is often accompanied by these supernatural phenomena, and Li Shimin is not immune to this."

"In 598, the th year of the founding of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, Li Shimin was born in the Li Family Villa in Wugong County, Shaanxi Province."

"According to old Tang books, when Li Shimin was born, two dragons came to the door of his house and wandered there for three days."

"Compared to the restrictive expression of Liu Bang being born from a cross between Aunt Liu and a dragon, Li Shimin's description is more subtle."

"But the meaning is similar. Li Yuan gave birth to a son, and Long was circling anxiously outside the delivery room. It's obvious whose son it is!"

Li Shimin: Well, this is a bit exaggerated. It was not so mysterious when I was born.

Even if he is the emperor, he is just an ordinary person.

It is nonsense to say that birth is accompanied by visions of heaven and earth.

But he knew that the reason why the historian described it this way was mainly to tell the world that he, Li Shimin, was destined to be the emperor.

Two dragons flew to his door when he was born, which is enough to prove that he was born to be an emperor.

In this way, after the people heard about it, they would accept his rule more willingly.

Liu Bang: I just told you not to make it up so outrageously. Look, future generations will really make fun of me.

After he ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, due to political considerations, the ministers had to make up an extraordinary origin for him, saying that this would be more conducive to ruling the people of the world.

He didn't agree with it at the time. How could a mother and a dragon combine to give birth to him? That's not how the true dragon emperor came to be.

Now it is indeed the case, and future generations will use this to ridicule him.

"When Li Shimin was four years old, a local scholar ran into Li Shimin's house and told Li Yuan that he was a noble man and had a son."

"Then he pointed at Li Shimin and said that he is the noble son. He has the appearance of a dragon and a phoenix, and the appearance of the sun. When he is twenty years old, he will be able to help the world and bring peace to the people."

"Li Yuan is very happy. Taking the beautiful meaning of helping the world and bringing peace to the people, the four-year-old child finally has his own name, Li Shimin."

Scholar: Look, I am indeed right. When I saw the emperor as a child, I knew that the emperor would be able to help the world and bring peace to the people.

He has some research on face reading and can judge the wealth and future of other people through their faces.

When he first saw the face of the Supreme Emperor, he concluded at a glance that the Supreme Emperor had a noble son.

Seeing the emperor's face, he understood everything.

"Li Shimin had a good childhood. At that time, his father Li Yuan was already a high official in the Sui Dynasty, and his mother was from the Dou family of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. In addition, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was his cousin, so Li Shimin was a serious royal relative. Relatives of the country."

"There are not many historical records about Li Shimin's childhood experience. We can only find some clues from them."

"After Li Shimin succeeded to the throne, he once told the ministers around him that what I was best at when I was young was archery, and I could master the secrets inside."

"Later, Li Shimin wrote in his letter to Wei Zheng that when I was a child, my favorite thing was physical education classes, and I didn't like cultural classes."

"Learning the ways of governing the country from the past kings is like falling into the boundless sea."

"We can see that Li Shimin is a serious sports student. This is probably due to Li Shimin's bloodline."

"Li Shimin's mother and grandmother are both Xianbei people, so Li Shimin has at least half of the fighting blood of the northern nomads in his body."

"Some people say that the reason why Li Tang rose to power was to take the blood of the barbarians outside the Great Wall and inject the decadent body of Chinese culture. The old stains were removed, and the new machine was restarted and expanded, so it was able to create an unprecedented prosperous age."

"The martial spirit flowing in Li Shimin's blood will shine brightly in the chaotic times of the late Sui Dynasty, when fists speak for themselves."

Li Shimin: I am a young man who loves martial arts but is not good at studies. The way of the previous kings is as unclear as wading into the sea.

He could roughly understand what the anchor said about sports students and cultural students. When he was a child, he was only interested in riding and shooting, and was not very proficient in classics and history.

Although he is not proficient in the ways of saints and sages, he is not seriously biased.

It's just that relatively speaking, he prefers to do Kung Fu immediately.

Not to mention, the reason why he is interested in riding and shooting may be related to the bloodline he inherited from his mother.

Her mother has the blood of northern nomads and is naturally suited to fighting.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this that martial blood flows in his body.

"In 613, the ninth year of Emperor Yang's great career in the Sui Dynasty, Gao Shilian, who served as the Minister of Lili, valued the young Li Shimin very highly and took the initiative to betroth his niece, the eldest Sun, to Li Shimin."

"His nephew Sun Wuji later became the founding hero of the Tang Dynasty, and Gao Shilian himself helped Li Shimin seize power during the Xuanwu Gate Incident."

Gao Shilian: I could tell at a glance that the emperor would have great potential when he grew up, so I decisively married my niece to the emperor. Now it seems that my vision was indeed right.

He had heard that the second son of the Li family was smart, but when he saw it with his own eyes, he concluded that the second son of the Li family was extremely valuable.

Based on the turbulent environment at that time, he guessed that the second son of the Li family would definitely be able to make contributions and make a name for himself.

Precisely because of this, he immediately planned to win over the second son of the Li family.

Not only did he betroth his niece to the second eldest son of the Li family, he also introduced his nephew, eldest Sun Wuji, to the second eldest son of the Li family.

Later, as the second child of the Li family grew up, he realized more and more how correct his decision was.

"Li Shimin was sixteen years old when he first showed his prominence in the history books."

"In 615, the eleventh year of Emperor Sui Yang's great cause, my cousin Emperor Sui Yang was touring the Northern Fortress and was besieged in Yanmen by hundreds of thousands of Turkic Khans."

"Emperor Sui Yang panicked, his eyes were swollen from crying, and he quickly sent a notice calling on the brave warriors from all over the world to come to the king."

"A cloud-piercing arrow brings thousands of troops to meet you."

"Li Shimin, a passionate sixteen-year-old boy, decisively joined the army and responded to the recruitment to go to the rescue."

"When he was about to set off, Li Shimin offered advice to General Yun Dingxing and arranged a formation of suspicious soldiers to frighten and repel the enemy."

"Li Shimin: Be sure to bring flags and drums to set up suspicious troops. Besides, the troops from all over Khan's country dared to surround the emperor. They must have thought that there was no one to rescue the country in a hurry."

"Li Shimin: If we display a large army, let the military flags stretch for dozens of miles, and let the trumpets and drums echo each other at night, the barbarians must think that reinforcements have gathered, and they will look at the dust raised by the army and flee. Otherwise, the enemy will I am a widower. If they come to fight with their entire army, we will not be able to cope with them."

"For a sixteen-year-old boy to come up with such a clever plan for the first time on the battlefield is amazing."

"The fact that Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty finally got rid of the siege of Yanmen had nothing to do with Li Shimin's ingenious plan."

"But it can be seen from this that young Li Shimin is already brave and resourceful."

Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty: My eyes are always swollen from crying. In order to set off Li Shimin, there is no need to discredit me.

He was touring Beisai and said that he was besieged by the Turkic Khans in Yanmen, looking very embarrassed.

In fact, this was not the case. This was all a trap set by him deliberately.

The purpose is to cooperate inside and outside, use oneself as bait, and eliminate the Turkic Khan in one fell swoop.

But unfortunately, his son was incompetent and wasted such a good opportunity and failed to keep the Turks.

Ying Zheng: It’s really interesting to tell a long story about Li Shimin’s clever plan, and then suddenly make a big twist at the end, which has nothing to do with Li Shimin’s clever plan.

But it has to be said that Li Shimin, who was sixteen years old, was able to come up with such a method when he went to the battlefield for the first time.

Regardless of whether it is useful or not, it is enough to show that Li Shimin has been resourceful since he was a child.

"In 616, the twelfth year of Emperor Yang's great career in the Sui Dynasty, Li Yuan was appointed as the left-resident in Taiyuan, and Li Shimin followed him to Taiyuan."

"At that time, Wei Dao'er, the leader of the Gaoyang bandits, came to attack Taiyuan. Li Yuan attacked Wei Dao'er and penetrated deep into the bandits' camp."

"Li Shimin saw Li Yuan going deep into the enemy formation, and used his elite cavalry to break through the enemy formation. He shot arrows at the enemy soldiers, causing the enemy troops to collapse. He rescued Li Yuan from the siege of tens of thousands of enemy soldiers."

"At this time, the enemy infantry just happened to arrive. Li Yuan and Li Shimin attacked hard and defeated the enemy troops."

Li Shimin: Strictly speaking, this was my first time leading troops in combat, and it is still fresh in my mind when I think about it now, which impressed me deeply.

Thinking back to when the Gao Yang bandits came to attack Taiyuan, he didn't feel scared at all, but instead felt inexplicably excited. At that time, he was eager to make achievements and make military exploits one after another.

Therefore, when he learned that the leader of the thieves was leading an army to attack, all he had was the joy of hearing about the battle, and he couldn't wait to lead his troops to defeat the enemy immediately.

In the end, as expected, everything went smoothly.

Although it was his first time to fight the enemy face to face, he was not afraid at all and easily defeated the enemy.

"In 617, the thirteenth year of the Great Cause, the Sui Dynasty launched a great turmoil, and rebellions broke out all over the world."

"Rebellion armies were surging everywhere, and the rule of Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty was on the verge of collapse."

"Li Shimin secretly plotted an uprising. He often lowered his status to praise scholars, and used his property to support his followers. Among the heroes and thieves, no one was willing to die."

"At this time, Li Yuan was appointed as the envoy to fight for arrest in Hedong. Xia Houduan, Sizhi of Dali, Xu Shixu, Sima of Yingyang Prefecture, and Xun, the warrior of Wu Zetian's father, all persuaded Li Yuan to raise troops to start a rebellion."

"Li Yuan believed that the time was not ripe yet and should not act rashly. He just asked his subordinates to forge edicts and recruit a large number of troops to recruit talents."

"Li Shimin saw that Liu Wuzhou, who rebelled against the Sui Dynasty, had occupied Fenyang Palace, so he encouraged his father Li Yuan to make a plan to rebel against the Sui Dynasty early, otherwise Liu Wuzhou would take advantage of him."

"Li Yuan took this opportunity to summon the generals and staff to discuss, and in May of the same year, he raised troops in Jinyang, Shanxi, which was known as the Jinyang Raid in history."

Zhao Kuangyin: It seems now that Taizong's ambition to rebel was even more urgent than Gaozu's.

As soon as there were signs of unrest in the Sui Dynasty, Taizong was already secretly preparing for rebellion and recruiting scholars to prepare for future rebellions.

Later, when Taizong saw Liu Wuzhou rebelling against the Sui Dynasty, he immediately encouraged Gaozu to rebel.

All these are enough to show that Taizong had ambitions from the beginning.

At this moment, he also understood that from here on, it was inevitable for Taizong to launch the Xuanwumen Revolution.

After all, it can be seen from Taizong's ambition that the world is his pursuit.

It was impossible for Taizong to give up the world he cherished for the sake of brotherhood.

"Among the anti-Sui forces in the late Sui Dynasty, Li Yuan had the best luck. He had the right time, place and people."

"The most important thing is people and talent. Talent has become the scarcest resource for everyone to compete in the world."

"Li Yuan has never had this anxiety. His sons and daughters are full of martial virtue and they produce and sell their own talents."

"After Li Yuan raised his troops, he first targeted the Guanzhong area."

"Li Shimin, who was only seventeen years old at the time, showed extraordinary leadership along the way. He ate and lived with the soldiers and took the lead in fighting."

"Moreover, the military is very strict. If you want to eat fruits and vegetables on the road, you must give money to the fellow villagers. You are not allowed to eat them unless you buy them."

"If a soldier eats without paying, Li Shimin and others will come forward to pay for him. Soldiers and people alike praise Li Shimin as a benevolent and righteous soldier."

"Li Shimin led his army to attack Xihe County, killed the county magistrate Gao Deru, and announced a government decree."

"After capturing Xihe, Li Yuan granted Li Shimin the title of Duke of Dunhuang, leading the army on the right as the commander-in-chief, and commanding the three armies on the right."

The people of Tang Dynasty who have experienced Li Shimin's period have a deep understanding that what the anchor said is true.

As those who have personally experienced it, they know best how strict their emperor was in running the army.

It was precisely after seeing the emperor's benevolence and righteousness that they had concluded that the world must belong to the emperor in the end.

Because they know how rare it is to have a well-disciplined army.

The armies of almost every other force they encountered would invade ordinary people like them.

Robbery is not a bad thing, but serious cases include killing people indiscriminately, and they suffer greatly from it.

Only the emperor's benevolent and righteous teachers who do not violate the common people can gain their sincere support.

"The rebel army went west to attack Jiahu Fort. Sui general Song Laosheng led 20,000 elite troops and stationed them in Huoyi to resist the rebel army."

"It rained heavily for several days and nights, and we were running out of food and grass."

"Li Yuan and Pei Ji discussed that they should return to Taiyuan for the time being and plan an uprising later."

"Li Shimin: Originally, the cause of great righteousness was to save the common people. We should first capture Xianyang and command the world. If we encounter a small enemy, we should retreat. I am afraid that those who followed the uprising will disperse. Return to guard a city in Taiyuan. This It’s a plan for thieves, what can I do to protect myself!”

"Li Yuan did not adopt Li Shimin's suggestion and urged the army to return to Taiyuan."

"So Li Shimin cried loudly outside, and the sound of crying reached Li Yuan's tent, causing Li Yuan to summon him and ask him about the reason for his crying."

"Li Shimin: Now the army rises based on benevolence and righteousness. If it goes into battle, it will win, and if it retreats, the army will collapse. The army will collapse in the front, and the enemy will take advantage of the weakness to attack from behind. Death will soon be in front of you, so sad!"

"After listening to what Li Shimin said, Li Yuan felt that it made sense, and then he woke up and stopped retreating."

Li Yuan: Uh! Although it is indeed true, there is no need to say it in public, as my face is at stake.

When he heard the anchor highly praise the second child, he had a bad feeling in his heart.

Now it has really come true. In order to portray the second child as smart and witty, the anchor used him as a negative example to set off the second child's intelligence.

He wanted to say something, it didn't have to be like this.

After all, he was also the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Although he was not as wise and powerful as the second brother, he was by no means a mediocre person.

But now after the anchor said this, it seemed that he was stupid and not as smart as his own son.

You have to know that people all over the world are listening, which gives him no majesty.

"On August 1, the heavy rain for several days finally stopped, and Li Yuan led his army to Huoyi."

"Li Shimin was afraid that Song Laosheng would not fight, so he led a few cavalrymen to the city, raised their whips and commanded, as if they were going to besiege the city, to anger Song Laosheng."

"Song Laosheng was indeed enraged. He opened the door and sent out troops, setting up a formation with his back to the city."

"Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng met to form a formation in the east of the city, and Li Shimin and Chai Shao formed an array in the south of the city."

"Song Laosheng commanded the army to rush forward, first approaching Li Yuan, causing Li Jiancheng to fall from his horse."

"Song Laosheng took advantage of the situation to attack, and Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng both retreated."

"Li Shimin led two thousand cavalry from the south to rush down the high slope, broke off Song Laosheng's army, and led the army to attack vigorously. The Song army was defeated and all abandoned their weapons and fled."

"At this time, Huoyi's city gate had been hung up. Song Laosheng held the rope and wanted to climb up the city. Li Shimin took advantage of the situation and killed Song Laosheng and pacified Huoyi."

Li Jiancheng: Yes, now I have become a negative example.

He didn't want to talk at the moment, he was very hurt inside.

It was sad enough that the throne was about to be taken away by the second child, but now the anchor, in order to show the second child's wisdom and prowess, described him as extremely useless.

He fell off his horse again, and retreated from the army. That battle was all the result of Lao Er alone, and he had nothing to do with it.

If that was indeed the case, then he had nothing to say.

But the real situation was not like that. He did not fall off his horse, he was just acting it out for the enemy to see.

And it is not to retreat, but to lure the enemy.

It's a good thing now. I originally cooperated with the second child, but ended up making the wedding dress for the second child, and all the credit went to the second child.

"Li Shimin's army arrived in Hedong, and the heroes in Guanzhong rushed to join the rebel army."

"Li Shimin requested to march into the pass, capture Yongfengcang to help the poor people, and subdue the bandits to capture Daxing City, the capital of the Sui Dynasty. Li Yuan thought it was very good."

"Li Shimin's former army crossed the Yellow River and first pacified Weibei."

"Officials, common people, heroes and gentlemen come to the military gate to request those who sacrifice their lives to serve. Every day, thousands of people are counted, supporting the old and the young, all under the banner."

"Li Shimin took Yinghao in as a backup official. People who heard about it from far and near came to devote themselves to his service."

"Li Shimin's army was stationed in Jingyang, with 90,000 elite soldiers. They defeated the barbarian Liu Yaozi and annexed the opponent's troops, leaving Liu Hongji stationed in Daxing City."

"Li Shimin led his army to Sizhu in person. The bandit leaders Li Zhongwen, He Panren, Xiang Shanzhi and others led their troops to join them. They stationed troops in Acheng and obtained 130,000 soldiers."

"Many people from Daxing City brought cattle and wine to the military gate. Li Shimin comforted them and then sent them away without accepting anything."

"Furthermore, Li Shimin's military orders were strict and strict, and Qiu did not commit any crimes, which was unanimously applauded by the people."

Liu Che: It’s no wonder that Li Shimin was able to conquer the world in the end. From the people’s support, we can see the people’s support for Li Shimin.

Since ancient times, those who win the hearts of the people win the world.

At that time, Li Shimin was only seventeen years old, and he was surrounded by heroes and ordinary people.

It is enough to show everyone's admiration for Li Shimin, otherwise they would not join a seventeen-year-old boy.

But not to mention, Li Shimin has been going all the way without any obstacles.

With such a record at such a young age, it is no wonder that he became the ceiling among the cavalry generals of that era, if he lived up to his reputation.

"Not only is Li Yuan's son strong, his daughter is also ruthless."

"When Li Yuan raised troops in Jinyang, his daughter Princess Pingyang was far away in the capital of Sui Dynasty."

"Li Yuan raised troops in Jinyang to rebel against the Sui Dynasty. His daughter who stayed in the Sui capital city will definitely be in danger and will be captured by the Sui army and used as a hostage."

"So before starting the army, Li Yuan sent people to Daxing, intending to take his daughter to Jinyang to start a business together."

"If my daughter doesn't leave, she will definitely arouse the suspicion of the court if I leave. Don't worry about me. As a woman, makeup is my special skill and I can protect myself."

"Then how did Princess Pingyang protect herself? She spent all her wealth to recruit anti-Sui heroes from all over the world, and the number of her followers quickly reached 70,000."

"Because the Jianghu people called her Lady Li, her troops were called the Women's Army."

"When Li Yuan and Li Shimin arrived in Guanzhong, they were shocked to see that the fierce Princess Pingyang herself had helped them capture four cities in Guanzhong."

Princess Pingyang: Who says women are inferior to men? Men can go into battle to kill the enemy, and I can also go into battle to kill the enemy.

Yang Jian: Li Yuan is so lucky! Not only is the son so powerful, but also the daughter is so powerful. No wonder the anchors say that Li Yuanhe has the upper hand.

With the right time, right place, and right people, Li Yuan had the advantage in everything. It was not surprising that the world was finally taken away by the Li family.

He couldn't help but envy Li Yuan for being so good at giving birth. Whether it was a son or a daughter, they were all full of martial virtue and were fierce men in battle.

Looking at his own biological children, none of them are useful.

But the only thing that made him happy was that he accepted Yang Shimin as his son, and he could take care of everything.

"Soon Li Shimin and his army conquered Daxing City, the capital of the Sui Dynasty. Li Yuan promoted Yang You, the emperor of the Sui Dynasty, as emperor, and Yang Guang, the emperor of Sui Yang, as the supreme emperor."

"Li Yuan proclaimed himself the Prime Minister and the King of Tang to assist in state affairs."

"Li Yuan appointed Li Shimin as Jing Zhaoyin, Feng Guanglu doctor, Tang domestic history, and changed his title to Qin Guogong, with a settlement of ten thousand households."

"It happened that the enemy led 100,000 elite troops to approach the shores of the Wei River. Li Shimin personally led the army to attack, defeated the enemy, killed more than 10,000 people, and captured the enemy's land."

"In 617, in December of the first year of Yining, Li Shimin was once again appointed Marshal of the Right, commanding troops to attack the eastern capital Luoyang, but failed and returned."

"When he was about to return to the army, Li Shimin set up three ambushes to wait for the enemy who was following and pursuing him."

"As expected by Li Shimin, Sui general Duan Da led more than 10,000 people to pursue him from behind."

"When passing the Tomb of the Three Kings, Li Shimin launched an ambush attack and Duan Da was defeated."

"So Xiongzhou and Guzhou were set up in Yiyang and Xin'an respectively, and people were sent to stay behind and return."

"Subsequently, Li Shimin was moved and renamed Zhao Guogong."

Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty: I regret it. I felt that the Duke of Tang had evil intentions at the beginning, and I should have eradicated it at that time.

Someone below reported that Tang Guogong was rebellious, but he did not dare to act rashly at that time.

After all, the situation in the country was very bad at that time. If we deal with the powerful Tang Guogong again, it may accelerate the chaos in the world.

So he sent someone to keep an eye on Tang Guogong and learned that Tang Guogong showed no signs of rebellion. Instead, he spent all day having fun. In the end, he let it go and ignored him.

It now seems that Tang Guogong must have been desecrating himself at that time and wanted to dispel his vigilance.

If he had known that the Tang Guo Gong would usurp the Sui Dynasty, he would have said anything at that time to nip the threat at its source.

"In March 618, Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty was killed by Yu Wenhuaji in Jiangdu."

"In May 618, Emperor Gong of the Sui Dynasty Yang Youchan settled in Li Yuan. Li Yuan changed the name of the country to Tang, the reign name of Wude, the capital was Daxing, and the name was changed to Chang'an. At this point, the Tang Dynasty was established."

"Li Yuan granted Li Shimin the title of Shangshuling and General Youwuhou. He was promoted to the title of King of Qin and granted the title of Shepherd of Yongzhou."

Li Shimin: To build the Tang Dynasty, one Qin king was not enough.

Looking back at the establishment of the Tang Dynasty again, he felt a lot of emotion in his heart.

He made tremendous contributions to the establishment of the Tang Dynasty.

It can be said that he took the first place and was the biggest contributor to the establishment of the Tang Dynasty.

Originally, his father promised to give him the position of prince, but in the end he broke his promise and just made him the king of Qin.

Perhaps from that moment on, the changes in the Xuanwu Gate were already doomed.

At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, he was granted the title of King of Qin, although he was unwilling to do so.

But he knew it was not the right time yet, he still needed to endure it, and he needed to accumulate prestige and strength.

After the founding of the Tang Dynasty, his one-man show also officially debuted.
