Why is Li called Prince Tang Yin?

Reason: Launching the Xuanwu Gate Incident and killing Li. He died at the age of 38 and his five sons were killed together.

In the second year of Zhenguan (628), Li Shimin made Li Jian the king of interest, pursuing "seclusion", and in the sixteenth year of Zhenguan (642), he was made the crown prince. Therefore, the history is called Prince Tang Yin.

It can be seen that the so-called "Yin" is actually his posthumous title, and the statement of Prince Tang Yin should be called by later generations. As for his descendants, most of them have no good end.

Xuanwu coup

Li Shimin, the king of Qin, was unconvinced that Li Jian had become a prince because he had established military exploits abroad for a long time, so he tried his best to replace him. In June of the seventh year of Wude, the Wen Yang incident was created in the palace of Qin Dynasty, which led people to falsely accuse the prince of collaborating with the rebels. Finally, Tang Gaozu exiled Wang Jue, Wei Ting and Du Yan, Qin Gong's staff.

Since then, Qin Gong has been in constant friction with the East Palace. In the ninth year of Wude (626), fearing the power of Qin Gong, Li suggested that Li Yuan expel Fang and Du Ruhui from Qin Gong and strictly forbid them to meet each other.

Most of the civil servants in the palace of Qin Dynasty were dismissed from their official positions, and only Mowgli, Gao Shilian, Weichi Gong and Zhang stayed in the palace. They were very worried and suggested taking action as soon as possible to kill Li and force him to abdicate.

On the morning of June 4th, the leaders, Weichi Gong, Hou and others set an ambush at Xuanwu Gate. Prince Li and Li Yuanji, King of Qi, were called into the palace and went to the temple by the lake. They felt something was wrong and turned to return to the East Palace. Yelling after him, he shot Li with an arrow.
