[The Zhenguan Reign he created pushed Chinese history to a new peak of civilization and prosperity, and he deserved the title of the greatest emperor of all time! 】

[...]

"The descendants are just good at joking. We don't understand what they mean. Let someone explain it to us."

"Governor of Asia... Isn't this Asia the one on the world map?"

"The strongest creature? That's a compliment."

"Li Shimin is really good. He was praised by the light curtain."

"You are the anti-Tian Gang? You dare to say that when Li Shimin is in power!"

"......"

Tang Dynasty.

Cheng Yaojin shouted at the top of his voice: "Hey! Your Majesty, it's you that is mentioned above."

"I saw it. I'm not old and blind." Li Shimin said without turning his head, and then murmured: "The greatest emperor in history... I deserve it."

The greatest emperor in history is the greatest compliment to the emperor.

Li Shimin was very excited.

What virtue and ability do I have?

[Prior to this, Yang Jian established the Sui Dynasty. ]

[After unifying the country, he worked hard and thought about politics, and was frugal. He was a wise ruler who reduced taxes and levies and filled the granaries. ]

[But his son Yang Guang, relying on the huge wealth of the Sui Dynasty, built palaces, repaired the Great Wall, opened 460 canals, and cast roads. In addition, he used foreign troops, which caused serious damage to social productivity. ]

[The vast majority of people were unable to survive, so they took risks to overthrow the corrupt Sui Dynasty. ]

[Since the prelude to the peasant uprising in the seventh year of Daye. ]

[The ruling class also began to fall apart and began to seek their own way out. ]

[Li Yuan, who came from the Guanlong military aristocratic group, witnessed the turbulent situation in the world and began to have the idea of ​​rebelling against the Sui Dynasty. ]

[At the beginning of the 13th year of Daye, the Sui Dynasty faced its final collapse. 】

[At this time, in addition to the peasant armies such as the Wagang Army, the Hebei Uprising Army, and the Jianghuai Uprising Army, the anti-Sui forces also included Liang Shidu, Liu Wuzhou, Xue Ju, Xiao Xian, and others who were originally part of the ruling class, who established their own separatist regimes. 】

[In May of the 13th year of Daye, after four years of preparation. 】

[Li Yuan, who was then the governor of Taiyuan, and his second son Li Shimin publicly raised troops in Jinyang under the banner of "restoring the great achievements of the previous emperor." 】

[At this time, the Sui Dynasty's rebellion suppression army was mainly concentrated in Dongdu and Jiangdu to deal with the peasant uprising army. 】

[Emperor Yang of Sui himself was also stationed in Jiangdu. From Jinyang to Guanzhong, the defense force was relatively weak. 】

【So it took only half a year for Li Shimin and his brother Li Jiancheng to successfully capture Chang'an. 】

【Such a rapid success actually has traces to follow. 】

【From the beginning of the uprising, Li Yuan and his son declared that they would strictly enforce military law and strictly manage the army. 】

【After conquering a city, they not only did not harm the people, but also opened warehouses to provide disaster relief. 】

【Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin led the way, shared hardships with the soldiers, fought side by side, and knew how to use people and rewarded them according to their merits, which was welcomed by the people in Guanzhong. 】

【In March of the following year, Emperor Yang of Sui was killed by Yu Wenzhi in Jiangdu. 】

[...]

"Yang Guang! This is a complete tyrant!"

"That's right, he doesn't take the lives of the people seriously at all. Is it so easy to build the Grand Canal? He can't see how many people died, and he still pretends to be deaf and dumb!"

"It's good that the Sui Dynasty fell! If the Sui Dynasty hadn't fallen, there would be no prosperous Tang Dynasty." (afdi)

"......"

[Two months later, Li Yuan ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor. The country was named Tang and the reign was changed to Wude. 】

[At this time, the territory of the Tang Empire only included a corner of Guanzhong. The eldest son Li Jiancheng was made the crown prince and stayed in Chang'an to assist Li Yuan in handling government affairs. 】

[Li Shimin was conferred the title of King of Qin and Shangshu Ling. He continued to lead his army to fight east and west and began to unify the country. 】

[The balance between the two brothers began to change subtly. 】

[After that, this will evolve into an irreconcilable contradiction. 】

【From the overall perspective of the founding of the country, Li Shimin made great contributions, but he was in a secondary position after all. 】

【Then no one can compare with him in terms of his important contributions and special merits in the unification war in the early Tang Dynasty! 】

【From the first year of Wude, Li Shimin led his army to successively destroy the separatist regimes of Xue Rengao and Liu Wuzhou, eliminated the threats to the northwest and north of the Tang Dynasty, and recovered the Longyou area and the lost land of Bingfen. 】

【From July of the third year of Wude, Li Shimin led his army to gradually surround Wang Shichong and Dongdu, cutting off the supply of food and grass. 】

【Dou Jiande, the peasant army of Hebei, knew the truth that the lips and teeth are cold, and he led an army of 100,000 to rescue Wang Shichong. Li Shimin ordered Qi Wang Li Yuanji to continue to besiege Dongwu, and he personally led 3,500 cavalry to Hulao Pass. 】

【Under his superb tactics, the battle of Hulao Pass was finally won, and Dou Jiande was captured alive. 】

【Seeing that he was powerless to turn the tide, Wang Shichong also abandoned the city and surrendered. 】

【Since he led the army, Li Shimin has paid great attention to recruiting generals and treating them with sincerity. 】

【The enemy surrendered generals Qin Shubao, Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Jingde and others were successively reused. 】

【In July of the fourth year of Wude, the unification war in the early Tang Dynasty had achieved a decisive victory. 】

【The prestige of Qin Wang Li Shimin increased greatly! 】

【When he moved his troops back to the court, he was wearing golden armor, followed by 25 generals, 10,000 iron cavalry, and military music, and he was very popular. 】

【Li Yuan conferred the title of Tiance General to commend him. 】

【At this time, Li Shimin had the same rights as the Crown Prince's Eastern Palace, and had the administrative district of the Shandong Road andThe military privilege of controlling the central army, his prestige even surpassed that of the crown prince! 】

[He also set up a literary institute to recruit knowledgeable people from all over the world. 】

[Among them are the famous eighteen scholars such as Fang Quanling and Du Ruhui. 】

[The King of Qin is powerful and popular. 】

[The East Palace Group headed by the crown prince felt a serious threat, not only began to suppress everywhere, but also used various assassination methods, and it has reached the point of life and death. 】

[In the ninth year of Wude, the Turks invaded the border. 】

[The crown prince recommended Li Yuanji to Li Yuan as the commander of the expedition, and deliberately asked the deputy generals Yuchi Jingde, Cheng Yaojin, Qin Shubao and others to go with him, hoping to take this opportunity to take the elite soldiers of the Qin Mansion for himself, and then further murder Li Shimin. 】

[This conspiracy was learned by the undercover bribed by Li Shimin in the crown prince's mansion. 】

【Li Shimin immediately discussed with Zhangsun Wuji, Yuchi Jingde and others, and they all agreed that the situation was critical and disaster was imminent. 】

【There was no room for hesitation, and we had to strike first! 】(To read the exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

【...】

"You all saw it, right? It was the prince who started it first."

"That's right! It's all because the prince has no tolerance for others. No wonder Li Shimin is so cruel and doesn't care about brotherhood."

"The imperial family is the most ruthless. The situation of brothers killing each other is about to happen again."[]

"......"

【After careful planning, it was decided to murder the prince and the King of Qi at Xuanwu Gate. 】

【Before that, Li Shimin had already bribed the prince's former subordinates who were guarding Xuanwu Gate. 】

【On June 3, after Li Shimin completed the deployment, he immediately reported to Li Yuan: Jiancheng and Yuanji were jealous of my achievements and wanted to kill me. 】

【Li Yuan was shocked when he heard this and summoned his sons to ask for clarification tomorrow. 】

【The next day, the prince and the King of Qi entered the court together. When they arrived at the Linhu Palace, they noticed something unusual and were about to ride back east. 】

【In an instant! Li Shimin rushed out and shot Li Jiancheng to death with one arrow. Yuchi Jingde rushed over and shot Li Yuanji to death. 】

【The conflict and struggle between the brothers ended with a bloody means of fratricide. 】

【Three days later, Li Shimin was made the prince. 】

【Two months later, Li Yuan abdicated and Li Shimin ascended the throne. 】

【This year, he was 28 years old. 】

【Li Shimin knew that his accession to the throne through bloody means was an indelible flaw in his personal experience, no matter how he tried to cover it up. 】

【Only by making the Tang Dynasty last forever with meritorious deeds could his historical image be truly free from being criticized by future generations. 】

【Therefore, he tried harder to listen to the advice of his ministers and restrain his extravagant desires. 】

【He could also reuse capable ministers such as Wei Zheng who were originally from the East Palace without holding grudges. 】

[Li Shimin also worked to quell external threats and promote ethnic exchanges. 】

[In the fourth year of Zhenguan, Li Jing conquered the Eastern Turks and captured Jie Li Khan. 】

[Tang Taizong implemented an enlightened policy towards the Eastern Turks and the ethnic groups that were dependent on the Turks, and was supported by them. 】

[Tang Taizong was both the emperor of the Central Plains and the Khan of the ethnic minorities in the border areas, collectively known as the Heavenly Khan. 】
