Why did Li Shimin kill Li Jiancheng?
There were many reasons for Li Shimin to launch the coup of Xuanwu Gate and kill Li Jiancheng: ** 1. Power struggle ** 1. ** Passive situation in the political situation ** - As the Crown Prince, Li Jiancheng had the advantage of the legal system. He had been in Chang 'an for many years and had the support of Emperor Li Yuan and many important ministers. There were also more than 3,000 elite soldiers in the Eastern Palace. Although Li Shimin had the title of General of Heavenly Strategy, he needed the Emperor's special approval to recruit guests. In the process of competing with the Crown Prince for the throne, he gradually lost the support of Li Yuan. Li Yuan thought that he had been in command for a long time and was no longer a good son. The strategists and generals in Prince Qin's Mansion were transferred away one after another. For example, Qu Tutong and Zhang Liang were captured and punished. He was like a tiger trapped in Chang 'an, losing his claws and teeth. 2. ** Desire for supreme power ** - During the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin had outstanding military achievements and outstanding military skills. He fought in Kansai, Hedong, Guandong and other places. However, Li Jiancheng was the heir to the throne. If Li Shimin wanted to obtain the highest authority, he had to break through the barrier of Li Jiancheng's position as the Crown Prince. ** 2. Comparing the forces of both sides ** 1. ** Talent ** - Li Jiancheng had many talents around him, so it was reasonable for him to recruit guests. Although Li Shimin had many powerful generals and advisors, he faced more restrictions in recruiting talents. Moreover, in the battle for the throne with Li Jiancheng, his own power was constantly weakened. 2. ** Military and administrative capabilities ** - Even though Li Jiancheng's military and political abilities were not inferior to Li Shimin's, Li Shimin's military and political abilities were not inferior to Li Shimin's. For example, from Jinyang to the capture of Chang 'an, Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin led their troops together, but Li Jiancheng's performance in pacifying the rear and providing food and grass was outstanding. When Li Shimin went out, Li Jiancheng was behind him to stabilize the rear. Militarily, Li Jiancheng's Hebei campaign was a beautiful combination of military and political, and Li Shimin also had the defeat of Xue Ju, Liu Heita and so on. However, Li Shimin's military achievements also gave him the capital to fight for the position, and he was unwilling to be under Li Jiancheng. ** 3. Judging the situation and taking risks ** - Li Shimin might have judged that in the situation at that time, although his chances of winning seemed very small, if he launched a sudden attack, he might be able to determine the overall situation by taking advantage of the moment when the Crown Prince and the King of Qin were at war. Therefore, he launched a desperate attack on Xuanwu Gate and shot Li Jiancheng in Xuanwu Gate. While waiting for the TV series, he could also read the exciting content related to this site!

How Li Shimin treated Li Jiancheng
Li Shimin's method of dealing with Li Jiancheng was to 'cut the weeds and remove the roots' and execute Li Jiancheng and his family. After the incident at Xuanwu Gate, Li Shi Min had clashed with the Crown Prince and King Qi's armies, and both sides had engaged in a fierce battle. At the critical moment, Yuchi Gong carried Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji's heads to the Crown Prince and King Qi's army, causing their morale to collapse. After that, Li Shi Min's army entered the Crown Prince's Residence and the Qi King's Residence and took control of them. Li Shimin's order was to 'eradicate the weeds and uproot the roots'. He dragged out all the families of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji and executed them. In addition, Li Shimin also executed Li Jiancheng's six sons and Li Yuanji's five sons. This practice had attracted criticism from later generations and was seen as a big "stain" in his life. Therefore, Li Shimin took extreme measures against Li Jiancheng and executed him and his family.
Li Shimin's posthumous title of Li Jiancheng
Li Shimin had given Li Jiancheng two titles. In the second year of Zhenguan, Li Shimin pursued Li Jiancheng as King of Xi and changed his burial. At the same time, Li Shimin also made Li Jiancheng the hidden crown prince. These actions could be interpreted from two aspects. First of all, Li Jiancheng's posthumous title could clear Li Shimin's name, making his process of seizing the throne more reasonable and legal. Secondly, Li Jiancheng's promotion was also to stabilize the internal situation and ease the conflict with the original Eastern Palace and King Qi's Mansion. This would help stabilize the court and eliminate the negative influence of killing brothers. Li Shimin's act of enfeoffment showed his tolerance and wisdom as an emperor, and at the same time provided important thoughts about power, family, and morality for future generations.
Li Shimin treats Li Jiancheng's concubines
We can see how Li Shimin treated Li Jiancheng's concubines. Li Shimin adopted a different attitude towards Li Jiancheng's concubines after the incident at Xuanwu Gate. Li Jiancheng's Crown Princess Zheng Guanyin was moved to another residence, while Li Yuanji's Princess Yang became Li Shimin's concubine and gave birth to Prince Li Ming. Zheng Guanyin died in 676 at the age of 78. Li Shimin mourned her deeply and buried her with a grand ceremony. Yang died of illness in 647, and her posthumous title was still Princess Chao. It could be seen that Li Shimin treated Li Jiancheng's concubines differently. He respected and remembered Zheng Guanyin more, while he gave favor and special treatment to the Yang family.
Li Yuan's attitude towards Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng
Li Yuan's attitude towards Li Shiming and Li Jiancheng was complicated and subtle. In the process of overthrowing the Sui Dynasty, Li Yuan valued Li Jiancheng very much and gave him more military power. However, he later weakened Li Shimin's power and supported Li Jiancheng. However, when Li Jiancheng gained the upper hand, Li Yuan would suppress him again and support Li Shimin again. This capricious attitude caused Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng to be dissatisfied with Li Yuan. The relationship between the two brothers gradually drifted apart and was filled with mutual suspicion. In addition, Li Yuan's attitude towards Li Shimin was also that power came first. He believed in Li Shimin's military ability, so he could control the army without worry in the war. In general, Li Yuan's attitude towards Li Shiming and Li Jiancheng was complicated and changing. There was respect and love, but also suppression and suspicion.
