Tang Gaozu has three brothers above him. Why can he inherit the title of Tang Guogong?

Speaking of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin is the most famous, and there are many stories about him. But in fact, his father Li Yuan was also full of legends all his life. In his early years, he was named Qi Huangong, because his three brothers, Li Cheng, Li Zhan and Li Hong, all died young. Liu Yun finally passed his position to him at the age of seven. In this regard, it is also clearly recorded in the Book of the Old Tang Dynasty: the eldest brother of Gaozu is called Cheng.

It seems that Tang Gaozu has more luck than strength. However, young Tang Gaozu is also brilliant and resourceful. He made many friends who were helpful to him, and these friends all loved him in the future, which also provided a good foundation for Tang Gaozu to conquer the country in the future. Maybe this is where Liu Yun is sure of him. Moreover, Tang Gaozu has an extraordinary appearance since he was a child, which is quite imposing. According to legend, a man named Shi Shiliang told Tang Gaozu that he would be very rich in the future.

Tang Gaozu's legend is not only reflected in his childhood, but also in his unprecedented marriage with Dou Shi. He captured Dou Shi's heart with only archery in The Sparrow Screen. His wife's marriage is also worth it. He assisted Tang Gaozu to shelter him from the wind and rain before establishing the dynasty, and later gave birth to Li Shimin. I really can't help but admire Tang Gaozu's open life! So I think, even if it weren't for the death of his three brothers, even if they were still there, the title would probably belong to Li Yuan.

He was free and easy, and created an important dynasty in the history of China? In the Tang Dynasty, after he proclaimed himself emperor, he swept the neighboring countries and unified the world. However, the change of Xuanwu Gate was a turning point in his life. In this coup, he lost his son, grandson and power. Now experts and scholars have different opinions on this incident. However, Li Yuan's contribution to the Tang Dynasty is indelible. During his administration, the political, economic, cultural and military systems were basically formed, which was also a brilliant achievement of Li Shimin.
