I drank the poisoned wine given by Li, but I vomited blood. Why didn't he hurt his life in the end?

That night, Li hosted a banquet at home, with the purpose of getting together with his brothers and uncles to enhance their feelings. Li Shimin was naturally invited. I was very unhappy at the thought of meeting Li and Li Yuanji, but he couldn't refuse, so he had to go to the party. During the dinner, Li Shimin drank a glass of wine, but after a while, he felt unbearable abdominal pain, and then he vomited blood, a few liters was enough. They are all scared and don't know what to do. The defeated general Li Shentong quickly helped Li Shimin and returned to Chenggan Temple. Someone has already told the Emperor Tang Gaozu.

Tang Gaozu went straight into Chenggan Hall with the doctor, and his son was heartbroken. Fortunately, after the doctor checked, he said it was nothing serious. He had vomited poison before, so he didn't hurt Li Shimin. After Li Yuan asked what had happened, he gave Li an imperial edict: The King of Qin could not drink or have a party in the evening.

This matter is recorded in the Book of Two Tang Dynasties and the Book of Tongzhi. The following is recorded in the Book of Old Tang Dynasty:

Later, he conspired with Yuanji to poison Emperor Taizong and lead him to the palace for a banquet. Then Emperor Taizong felt a sudden pain in his heart and vomited several liters of blood. Huai 'an prodigy Wang helped him back to the West Palace. Gaozu was lucky enough to ask the first question, so he said, "The king of Qin can't drink alcohol, let alone get together at night."

The matter here has nothing to do with Li, and then he said to him, It was your idea that Jinyang started fighting at first, and then the whole world was your credit. I wanted you to be a prince, but you refused. Now that I have been a prince for many years, I can't bear to depose him. Otherwise, you'd better go back to Luoyang, where you can set up a banner of the Emperor, imitating the story of Liang Wang in the Han Dynasty. ? (digression: there is something wrong with this passage. In fact, Jinyang's rising army was led by Li Yuan, and Li's becoming a prince also followed the eldest son inheritance system, which was not abolished at will. It is hard to say whether this is Li Yuan's disobedience or later fabrication. )

However, Li Shimin refused tearfully because he couldn't bear to leave his knee. Tang Gaozu also said it's okay. When I miss you, I will go to see you. Chang 'an and Luoyang are not far away, so I made such a happy decision. But later, when he knew about it, he stopped it without success.

Looking back, let's look at Li Shimin's Drinking. It's really weird everywhere. Who is most likely to be poisoned? This may be hard to say, but the most unlikely person must be Li. Li invited to a family dinner, no matter for what purpose, he didn't want anything to happen at the party, because he was the first person in charge. Is he that stupid? Obviously not. He has been a prince for many years, but he still has some abilities. If he really poisoned Li Shimin at the party, then everything he has now may be gone, at least the position of the prince will be given up. We saw that Li was blamed for the handling of this matter, but he didn't give any punishment, which showed that we knew Li was innocent.

So if it's true that Li Shimin drank poisoned wine, there are two people most suspected, one is Li Yuanji and the other is Li Shimin. Why is Li Yuanji a suspect? Because if he is poisoned, it is likely that both Li and Li will suffer, and he will be the biggest beneficiary. But one thing, this poison is useless to Li Shimin, which shows that this poison itself is not so poisonous. Li Yuanji may not really want Li Shimin's life, he just wants the position of Prince.

Of course, Li Shimin is also a big suspect. So, what does Li Shimin do in this play? As mentioned above, Tang Gaozu invited Li Shimin to Luoyang. This is the purpose of Li Shimin. At first, he didn't want to launch a coup to kill Li, but just wanted to go to his base in Luoyang, where he had the capital to compete with Li, instead of being stuck in the capital waiting for Li to dispatch troops. So he came here and poisoned himself with Li's banquet, letting him know that the two brothers were irreconcilable and forcing him to make a decision. Tang Gaozu's later decision was very agreeable to Li Shimin. But Li was refused to go to Luoyang.

Finally, our team had to find another way to seize power, and that was to directly kill Li and Li Yuanji. Of course, the poisoned wine Li Shimin drank may not exist. It doesn't matter whether it's true or not. What is important is that Li Shimin was indeed a wise king. He initiated the rule of chastity and led the Tang Dynasty to prosperity.
