Li Shimin changed Xuanwu Gate in legitimate self-defense.

This is Tang Yuan, the fourth son of Tang Gaozu Li Yuanji. His biological mother, Mrs. Dou, is virtuous and virtuous. Li Yuanji was ugly when he was born, and Mrs. Dou has the ability to tell fortune. At first glance, the reincarnation of Li Yuanji's Yuan God is a disaster. When I grew up, I didn't want to raise him, so I sent someone to abandon him. Li Fu's maid, Chen Shan, expressed sympathy for the abandoned baby and secretly took it back to raise it, which enabled Li Yuanji to grow up.

Mrs. Dou's eyesight is really good. In the process of growing up, Li Yuanji did play a role that brought disaster to the Li family. According to historical records, Li Yuanji is a "long, good soldier, long on the side, arrogant and extravagant". Hundreds of slaves and concubines are often attacked and stabbed, causing many casualties. After Yuanji was created, it was stopped in good faith. Yuanji ordered a strong man to die and tutored his wife privately. "That is to say, Yuan, the Lord God who dominates Li Yuanji's body, is inhuman and often orders his subordinates to kill each other. Many people were killed and injured, even Li Yuanji himself was injured. Chen Haoxin, his rescuer, advised him not to hurt others and himself. Not only did he not listen, but he also ordered the killing of his rescuer, who was worse than an animal. After killing people, he pretended to give them a title to cover up their sins. It is even more evil and cunning.

Li Yuanji not only often ordered his men to kill each other, but also killed animals and people. According to historical records, Li Yuanji often hunts in the name of Dou's birthday. "All people's land, all people's land, all people's land, all animals are around. Every time I shoot an arrow, I can enjoy watching people avoid the arrows. People are disgusted with this. Can't accompany you. " Harm society. Bring resentment. He is young, but vicious. He often sneaks out at night and rapes women in clothes. Incest with my biological father's favorite concubine.

He was very jealous and hated his second brother, Li Shimin, king of Qin. He not only angered his father and eldest brother, Prince Li, but also hurt his second brother. He also personally killed the king of Qin. According to historical records, "the king of Qin has made meritorious deeds, but the prince does not belong to China and foreign countries, and the yuan is extremely chaotic, and he wants to be one." It was the prince who said, "The King of Qin has made outstanding contributions and won the love of his superiors. Although his royal highness is a prince, his status is uneasy and he is not enterprising. He was in pain, too. Please kill him for your highness. " The prince couldn't bear it, and Yuan did his best to be cynical and agreed. So I invited him into the palace, sealed Deyi, let him lobby, and let the emperor spare the king of Qin and love the prince.

Ginado hid the fugitives and gave them generously, making them useful. When Yuan Zhen joined the army, the poet Jiu Si said, "Dan Qing put on Cheng qin, and jade and silk put on Zhuan Xu." When you see it, you realize it. In the past, my father suspected Yuanji and killed him. People naturally dare not speak. The king of Qin thanked Yuan Di, put down his guard in his bedroom, stabbed the king of Qin and the prince, and stopped him. Yuanji said, "What harm does my brother do to me?" In front of Li, he said that he planned the assassination for Li, but he had long seen that "Yuanji was so violent that he could do nothing for his brother." He once said to his subordinates, "He knows the East Palace like the back of his hand except the King of Qin!" Li, the prince of the East Palace, is his eldest brother. He killed the second brother first, and then took the position of the eldest brother. Li Yuanji still has some humanity.

Li Yuanji's ability to do bad things is the best in the world, but his ability to do business is terrible. In March of the second year of Tang Wude, Liu Wuzhou invaded South China. According to historical records, "When Liu Wuzhou led 5,000 men to ride to Huangsheling, Yuanji sent a chariot to ride the general Zhang Da, and a hundred men tried first. Asking for help is not enough. I came from Yuan Zhen and didn't become a thief in the end. Angry, because Wu Zhou captured Yuci, he pushed it to Zhou. " Yuan Da is afraid. His Sima Liu Dewei said, "You are old and weak. I will fight Qiang Bing. " Because he sent troops at night, he took his wife and children Abando with him.

I have put up with this time and again, but Li is pressing hard. In the ninth year of Tang Wude, the Turks invaded the Central Plains, and Li Yuanji and Li used a deadly trick to hollow out Qin Gong. Li recommended Yuan to lead a crusade against the Turks, and Li Yuanji sent the right army of Weichi Gong, Duan and Qin Gong to review and select the best soldiers under his account, so as to strengthen the strength of his own army. The two men also plotted to kill the king of Qin and frame Wei Chijingde and other generals. Li Shimin, the king of Qin, knew this fatal trap and made a defense plan.

On the 4th of Gengshen in the 9th year of Tang Wude, Li and Li Yuanji sent four or five hundred soldiers to ambush in Xuanwu Gate early in the morning, only to be killed as soon as they arrived. At the critical moment, Weichi Gong and others withdrew. He said angrily, "I can't stay here and be killed with the king!" " "Sun Chang promise and others also think they are ruthless, but we can also be unjust. We should get rid of them first. At the strong demand of the soldiers, Li Shimin finally followed the advice: when Li Shimin and his party arrived, Li Yuanji first drew his bow and shot an arrow at Li Shimin, but missed. Li and Li Yuanji shot three arrows. Fortunately, Li Shimin came prepared and wore armor, so he didn't get hit. In the chaos, Li was also hit and died on the spot. Li Yuanji tried to escape, but Wei Chijingde shot him. This is the famous' change of Xuanwu Gate' in history.

Many friends like to analyze the change of Xuanwu Gate from the perspective of power struggle, but the author thinks that Li Yuanji's character is the key issue: Li Yuanji was evil all his life, jealous, afraid of death, lustful and incestuous, fornicated in the harem, and had no ability to govern the country, but he had countless fatal tricks to harm others and mistake the country. In order to seize the supreme imperial power, Li Yuanji, who is jealous of virtue and talent, must plan the change of Xuanwu Gate, destroy his biggest competitor first, and then seize the position of Prince Li. Therefore, the author thinks that what Li Shimin and Wei Chijingde did in the "Xuanwumen Change" should be out of their own self-defense, that is, the so-called "extremes meet".
