If he was killed, why didn't he succeed to the throne?

In Lee, when Li Yuanji came up with a plan to kill him, Li Shimin hesitated whether to attack Lee and Li Yuanji. In the face of Li Shimin's indecision, many civil servants and military commanders in Li Shimin Palace are particularly upset.

In the face of angry Sun Chang Wuji, Weichi Gong and others, Li Shimin said faintly: "Let's wait for them to start first."

Weichi Gong said to him, "Now it is a particularly critical moment. We all support your Majesty, and you are still hesitating. If your Majesty doesn't listen to Jingde, I will take the blame and resign, leave the palace of Qin and wander the rivers and lakes, and never ask about the king of Qin again. "

Hearing this, Sun Chang Wuji also said to Li Shimin, "Wei Chijingde and others are right. If His Highness the King of Qin can't act immediately according to the instructions of Wei Chijingde and others, then the King of Qin will be defeated, and Wuji will leave Qin Gong with Wei Chijingde to wander the rivers and lakes. "

I don't know whether Li Shimin is an indecisive person or a particularly independent person. No matter how his subordinates persuaded him to take action earlier, Li Shimin refused again and again. Finally, Li Shimin thought of divination, and everyone agreed.

So, Li Shimin sent someone to take out a pair of tortoise shells, which were intended to be used for divination. However, Zhang who happened to come here stopped him. After listening to Zhang's preaching, he felt that he could not refuse any more, otherwise, he would really lose the hearts of these people. So, Li Shimin decided to strike first.

As we all know, he killed Li, Li Yuanji and others in the Xuanwu Gate Revolution, won the victory, and finally became the second emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

However, if Li Shimin's Xuanwumen uprising fails and Li Shimin is killed, then the throne will not belong to Li, but to Li Yuanji. Why do you say that?

It turned out that the guards of the King of Qi once said to Li Yuanji: "When the names of the King of Qi are combined, they become the word' Tang', which can be a good omen, indicating that His Highness the King of Qi will be the abbot of the ancestral temple in the future."

Li Yuanji, King of Qi, was overjoyed. "If the king of Qin is removed, it will be easy to replace the East Palace."

The above dialogue comes from TongZhiJian, which shows that Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, is also an ambitious man, and it can be inferred that Li Yuanji doesn't really want to help Li Li Chengjian.

Li Yuanji just got rid of it with Li's help. When Li gets rid of him, Li Yuanji will definitely attack Li, and he will try his best to kill Li. Professor Li and Li Yuanji get along day and night. Li Yuanji and Professor Li are very close, and Professor Li is unprepared for Li Yuanji. Therefore, Professor Li will definitely be hurt by Li Yuanji in the end.

However, there is no if in history. If the Tang Dynasty really falls into the hands of Li Yuanji, it is also the misfortune of the Tang people.
