But what most people don't know is that it is this great Taizong who initiated the evil case of tampering with history in the history of China, discredited the achievements of his father and brother, and at the same time did not hesitate to whitewash the image of the great king who founded his country. The influence was extremely bad, which can be said to be harmful and endless.
Of course, it seems that Li Shimin was forced to do so, because he didn't get the throne through proper means. Although every prosperous dynasty was piled up with bones stained with blood, which always belonged to others, Li Shimin killed his brother by launching the "Xuanwumen coup", stepped on their blood and bones and ascended the throne in disgrace.
Li Shimin slandered his father first. Speaking of it, Tang Gaozu Tang Gaozu is one of the few unlucky founding emperors in history. Other founding fathers are often described by later generations as wise SHEN WOO, but Li Yuan is an exception. In order to highlight the wisdom of his son, the father had to suffer a little injustice.
Under the radiant light of his son, Li Yuan's image in history is obviously mediocre. Not only did nothing supernatural happen at birth, but even the first contribution of raising the flag to revolt was deprived. According to the falsified official records, Tang Gaozu's rebellion was forced by Li Shimin. At that time, Li Shimin and his minister, Liu Wenjing, first discussed how to arise, and then told Tang Gaozu that Tang Gaozu was frightened when he heard this. Finally, forced by the situation, he had to reluctantly follow.
Although Li has always appeared as a schemer, whether in official history or novels, his wisdom of infighting is not brilliant, and his conspiracy has repeatedly failed, but his younger brother has succeeded in one fell swoop. This fully shows that Li is not good at infighting at all.
In fact, Li's constant exclusion was not entirely his intention at first. His third brother, Li Yuanji, fanned the flames behind his back and played a great role. Later, I really felt the threat from my younger brother, and I began to actively crowd out this younger brother. As a prince, this is an instinct and a helpless move.
