On June 4th, the 9th year of Wude (626), Prince Jian was established, and Yuan Ji, the king of Qi, was called into the palace. Just the day before, Li Shimin, the king of Qin, gave his father Li Yuan a secret fold: the harem of Yuan extremely promiscuous was built. When he saw it, he was furious. Yes, nobody wants to wear this hat. Tang Gaozu immediately ordered his two sons to enter the palace tomorrow to face the saints. The next day, Li and Li Yuanji were ambushed while passing through Xuanwu Gate. Li was killed by his brother Shimin and Li Yuanji was shot to death.
Then murderous Wei Chijingde asked Tang Gaozu to order the army to be controlled by Li Shimin. At this point, what does Tang Can Gaozu do? Only in this way. As a result, the troops of the Prince and the King of Qi soon gave up their resistance and the birds and animals scattered. The Xuanwumen mutiny subsided, but the bleeding did not stop. Everything is going according to Li Shimin's established plan. After solving the two brothers and their army, Li Shimin came to the palace and wept bitterly with her distant father, Tang Gaozu. Li Shimin at this time should be mixed feelings, mixed feelings!
He is the one who laughs last, but Li and Li Yuanji are his brothers after all! But the killing is not over yet. After crying for a while, Li Shimin put away his feelings and cut the gordian knot. He still has a lot of important aftermath to do. First of all, he should thoroughly eliminate dissidents and root out the root causes. Li and Li Yuanji's troubles have been lifted, and their children will soon disappear. At noon that day, both Li's son and Li Yuanji were executed.
Li has six sons, one of whom died young, and the other five sons,,, were all executed. Li Yuanji's five sons, Li, Li Chengyu, Li Chengluan and Li Chengdu, were all beheaded. Because Li was only 38 when he died, and Li Yuanji was only 24. Their sons are very young, some are only one or two years old, and they have all been extinct. Make up your brain, the picture can't bear to look straight!
What should the Prince and the King of Qi do? Wei Chijingde, the clown, made a good suggestion at this moment. He suggested forgiving these old people for being used by me. Yes, such killings are not conducive to maintaining stability. Li Shimin adopted this suggestion, and old people such as Wei Zhi, Wang Jue and Xue Wanche. , became a big shot in the Zhenguan dynasty in the future. As soon as the aftermath is clear, the most important work will be put on the agenda. That is to make Li Shimin a prince. Isn't this the phased goal of team work?
Three days after the Xuanwumen mutiny, that is, on June 7th, Tang Gaozu wrote to the world and made Li Shimin the Prince. After becoming a prince, Li Shimin began to form his own leadership team. On June 12, Li Shimin drew up a list of appointment and dismissal of cadres and gave it to his father Tang Gaozu, who signed it symbolically. Li Shimin's cronies were placed in all key departments.
