The six-dimensional pictures of emperors of all dynasties were exposed, and the ancestors panicked

Chapter 250 Your Majesty, please call me Prince!
On the canopy.

A thin and fair young emperor.

Looking forward to the brilliance.

Wearing a black futou and an ocher yellow robe.

It seems like a smile but not a smile.

……

[Tang Gaozong·Li Zhi]

【Character Wei Shan, the third emperor of the Tang Dynasty, the ninth son of Emperor Taizong Li Shimin, his mother was the eldest son of the empress Wendeshun, and his mother and brother were the former prince Li Chengqian and the king of Wei Li Tai. 】

……

Datang.

"Bang! Click!"

Li Shimin, who was drinking tea, dropped the teacup in his hand in shock.

Empress Changsun, Li Chengqian, and Xiao Sizi all looked at Xiao Li Zhi with his mouth wide open.

"This...he...Chengqian..."

Li Shimin's words were all messed up for a while.

Just an idea in my mind.

Could it be that Cheng Qian also died of illness? !

……

[In his later years, Li Shimin favored his fourth son, King Li Tai of Wei, which led to Prince Li Chengqian competing with the King of Wei for the throne. 】

……

{Li Shimin has taken the blame for this. What a good boy Cheng Qian was at the beginning. ｝
{He has been in charge of the country for eighteen years and is "quite able to make judgments." This is not an ordinary person. ｝
{It should be said that Li Chengqian performed well until he became lame. ｝
{It can’t all be blamed on Li Shimin, Li Chengqian also has some problems. ｝
{In the later period, Li Chengqian had a good hand and was beaten to pieces. Li Shimin didn't care that he was a cripple. He was suspicious of himself, recruiting Turks into the palace, and assassinating his subordinates. ｝
{Not listening to advice and assassinating ministers, these two points are all jumping into Li Shimin's minefield. ｝
{As for favoring Le Tong, it was nothing at all. Although Li Shimin was also very angry, he still told the ministers later that the prince's foot disease would not affect him. ｝
{However, it is true that he dotes on Li Tai, and what follows is actually the same mistake that brought down Li Yuan. ｝
……

Datang.

Foot disease? Refuse to remonstrate? Assassination of subordinates? Repeating past mistakes?
Li Shimin looked at the sky numbly, motionless.

My mind was a mess.

……

Tang Dynasty and Gaozong period
Li Zhi held the matcha in his hands without raising his head.

Just looking at the eyes reflected in the cup.

The eldest brother couldn't hold his breath.

The fourth brother is mentally ill.

If the two of them were normal, I wouldn't be able to sit in this position.

Helpless.

He took a sip of tea.

Li Zhi slowly raised his head and looked at the sky.

"I am the emperor."

Wu Meiniang on the side suddenly felt a chill.

……

On the canopy.

The Tai Chi Hall looks dark and gloomy under the setting sun.

The majestic emperor sat on the dragon couch, with uncontrollable anger on his face, but deep sorrow in his eyes!

"You... do not live up to expectations!"

"I ask you! Why do you want to rebel!!"

In front of him, a man with a sharp and resentful look on his face was kneeling on the ground and glaring at Li Shimin angrily.

"You have forgotten your mother's instructions to you before she died..."

"You want to make King Wei the crown prince..."

"You let him live in Wude Palace..."

"boom!"

Beating the brocade couch next to him fiercely, the gray-whiskered Li Shimin couldn't help but shouted angrily:
"Cheng Qian! I'm asking you! Why..."

"Your Majesty, please call me Prince!"

The same angry voice echoed back instantly.

The hall fell into silence for an instant.

Father and son are at odds with each other.

"Prince...I ask you why you want to rebel."

Li Shimin suppressed his anger and asked again in a deep voice.

Li Chengqian, whose expression was already calm, smiled mockingly when he heard this, looked up at Li Shimin and said:
"Father, why do you favor King Wei?"

"Every feudal prince has to go to the fiefdom when he comes of age, but he doesn't."

"Literature Hall, Martial Arts Hall...you know what these represent."

"but me……"

Li Chengqian stood up slowly, limping a little on his diseased right foot.

He looked at Li Shimin, who was holding back his anger, with a sad and angry look on his face, and said sternly:

"I know...I am no longer the prince! Father!"

"You ask me why? I'm just... trying to save myself."

……

[Although Li Shimin had made it clear that he would never replace his eldest son with a bastard, and warned the kings not to have any inappropriate thoughts about the crown prince's position. 】

[But in actual actions, Tang Taizong was still very close to and doting on King Wei, but was relatively cold and distant from the prince. 】

[Over time, Li Chengqian, who was already more and more extreme because of his foot illness, became increasingly insecure. As the situation became increasingly urgent, he decided to take risks. 】

[In April 643 AD, just when Li Chengqian was preparing to rebel, Li You, the king of Qizhou, led a crowd to rebel and was arrested. 】

[His subordinate He Gan Chengji told the chief inquisitor all about Li Chengqian's rebellion plan. 】

[Li Chengqian’s plan was aborted before it could be implemented. 】

[After Li Chengqian's defeat, the conspiracy of his fourth son, King Li Tai of Wei, to seize the throne was implicated. 】

[Subsequently, Prince Li Chengqian was deposed and exiled to Qianzhou as a commoner. King Li Tai of Wei was demoted to King Shunyang and moved to Junzhou. 】

[In December 644 AD, Li Chengqian died in Qianzhou. Li Shimin abolished the court and buried him with state rites. 】

……

{Throughout Li Chengqian's life, we can see that although Li Shimin was the supreme emperor of the Tang Dynasty, he was the Khan. ｝
{But when facing his most beloved son, he is just like thousands of ordinary fathers in the world, carefully cultivating and patiently teaching him. ｝
{Especially since his beloved son was going to inherit his imperial legacy, Li Shimin spent a lot of effort and energy. ｝
{When Li Chengqian was less than six years old, Li Shimin asked the famous Confucian master Lu Deming to teach him. ｝
{When he was twelve years old, he began to consciously cultivate his ability to handle government affairs. ｝
{After Li Chengqian began to rebel and disobey the law, he tried very hard to lead him back to the right path. He even heard that some people speculated that Li Chengqian's throne was unstable, and immediately appointed Wei Zheng as the crown prince and grand master to disappoint the public. ｝
{Even if Li Chengqian later committed the heinous crime of attempted treason, Li Shimin would still rack his brains to save his life despite being disappointed. ｝
{This is a bit of an afterthought. You didn't want to be "half-hearted" from the beginning. How can you still do these things? Moreover, it’s not just you, Li Shimin! Can endure being pointed at and scolded by his ministers. ｝
{In addition to his physical disability, Li Chengqian's psychological distortion has a lot to do with Emperor Taizong's preference for Wei Wang Li Tai. ｝
{The prince and the vassal king have the same status, and there is no distinction between superiority and inferiority. The civil and military ministers are bound to start taking sides. ｝
{Party disputes are getting more intense, clan discord, civil and military disharmony, the prince is worried that the emperor will be easily replaced, so he is bound to unite with the prince's subordinate officials and powerful military generals to seek rebellion, kill his rivals, and force the emperor to abdicate. ｝
{This situation is the logic of the dispute between the two palaces in Soochow, the dispute between Yang Yong and Yang Guang in the Sui Dynasty, and the Xuanwumen incident in the reign of Emperor Gaozu. ｝
…Datang and Emperor Gaozu’s period
Li Yuan suddenly felt a sense of uncertainty in his heart.

The Chengqian thing seems to be a sign.

He glanced at his elder brother.

Li Jiancheng looked expressionless and didn't know what he was thinking.

Erlang, you can also understand Aye's difficulties.

……

Datang.

"Inherit the imperial legacy and lead the world."

Li Shimin hugged Li Chengqian and began to cry bitterly.

"When you were born in Chengqian Palace, your eldest father gave you the name Chengqian as a personal gift."

"So Aye has high hopes for you."

"But Aye forgot, you are still a child."

"Aye should pay more attention to you."

Li Chengqian's nose felt sour and his expression was touched.

Queen Changsun on the side came to hug the two of them, lowered her head and said to Li Chengqian:
"Aye and Aniang will always be with you, don't be afraid."

His nose twitched, and Li Chengqian couldn't help crying loudly.

"Mom, don't abandon the child!"

The two cubs nearby chewed on their fingers.

One thought, he actually became the emperor? Are all the fish in the pond edible?

One thought, Ninth Brother has become the emperor? Then do all his toys belong to me?
……

Ming dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the sky and shook his head.

"Emperor Taizong's civil and military skills are excellent."

"I just don't know how to teach my son."

"You are naturally happy to accept remonstrances, but the prince may not be able to accept the remonstrances of the ministers who never show mercy to him like you."

Queen Ma gave Lao Zhu a glass of water.

"How do you think the father and son ended up in this situation?"

Zhu Yuanzhang held a cup of tea and blew on it, then sighed and said:

"From a father's perspective, Tang Taizong's intention in sending these admonishments to the prince was good."

"He hopes that the prince can develop in a better direction with their persuasion."

"But from the perspective of Li Chengqian, who is getting older, her father did this just to monitor him."

"And as the conflicts between the remonstrators and the prince continued to intensify, not only did they fail to help Li Chengqian stabilize his position as prince, but they indirectly caused the loss of trust between Tang Taizong and his son."

After taking a sip of tea, Zhu Yuanzhang smacked his tongue and said.

"Not every emperor and prince couple can be like me and Biao'er."

……

Ming Dynasty Yongle Period
"Since ancient times, young and powerful emperors have not liked their eldest sons unless they have only one son."

Zhu Zhanji glanced at his father.

Zhu Gaochi was as indifferent as a giant Buddha.

Zhu Di glanced at his fat son and snorted softly.

"So many monarchs in history have thought about changing their princes. Many of them are obviously virtuous and wise kings. Why can't they think of it?"

"Grandson, why do you think it is?"

Zhu Zhanji pointed at his nose with a ridiculous expression.

"Did I say that?"

Zhu Gaochi on the side calmly took over the conversation.

"The simple reason is fear."

Zhu Zhanji stared at his fat father with a deadly look on his face, while Zhu Di rolled his eyes silently.

"You are like the emperor and the prince, who are only ten or twenty years apart."

"When he felt that he was getting older day by day, and the prince was growing up day by day, a thought naturally appeared in his mind: Could the prince be impatient to wait?"

"If the prince is meek, the emperor will feel cowardly."

"If the prince is strong, the emperor will find it dangerous."

"If the prince does not make friends with ministers, the emperor will feel incompetent."

"When the prince makes friends with ministers, the emperor will feel that he wants to ascend to the throne in advance."

"And this suspicion will deepen as the emperor grows older."

Zhu Gaochi smiled at his eldest son who was stunned and dripping with cold sweat:
"So as a prince, having a wise and powerful father is quite a desperate thing."

Zhu Di on the side couldn't help blowing his beard and staring!

"You're desperate! You're desperate ass!"

"You are the one who is desperate!"

“Either I have no money or no food every day!”

"Who do I leave to conquer the world?"

"You're so damn desperate!"

"I'm almost going to be your general to conquer the north! Prince!"

……

[On April 643, AD, after deposing the crown prince Li Chengqian and demoting the king of Wei, Li Tai. 】

[Li Shimin personally drove to Chengtianmen and issued an edict to establish Li Zhi as the crown prince. 】

[Afterwards, Li Zhi was often ordered to be by his side every time he went to court to watch him make decisions on various government affairs, participate in discussions, and praise his talents many times. 】

[On May 649, AD, Li Shimin died. 】

[When he was dying, he entrusted his funeral affairs to Changsun Wuji and Chu Suiliang. 】

[On June 1st, Li Zhi became emperor at the age of twenty-two. 】

　The death and illness of Queen Changsun should be the reason for Li Chengqian's distortion.
