Regrettably, Li Yuan also has many problems, such as love of women, love of luxury, trampling on the law and so on.

Of course, the biggest problem is that the interest struggle between the prince's mansion and Qin Wang's mansion was not properly handled.

Li Yuan wanted to play a game of checks and balances, and he played it pretty well.

However, when Li Yuan discovered that the conflicts between the two governments had intensified and the two sons began to fight each other.

He was completely dumbfounded!

Chapter 83 The Change of Xuanwu Gate

In the early years of the Tang Dynasty, the "Xuanwumen Coup" occurred, and Li Yuan was the victim of this coup.

Because of this coup, he was forced to step down and became the Supreme Emperor.

However, it has to be said that Li Yuan bears great responsibility for this coup.

It was precisely because he did not control the situation well that this tragedy happened.

Li Yuan did not consolidate the position of the prince of the East Palace.

Prince Donggong is the foundation of the country and the future of the country.

If the prince is stable, the court is stable.

If the prince is not sure, the ministers in the court must choose to attach themselves to the emperor's princes for their own interests in the future, which will cause turmoil in the court.

In fact, Li Yuan has already confirmed the candidate for the crown prince, which is Li Jiancheng.

However, although the candidate for the prince was confirmed, the status of the prince was not consolidated.

From historical data, we can see that Li Yuan told Li Shimin at least three times that he wanted to pass the throne to him.

Because these historical materials were later tampered with by Li Shimin, we are not sure how authentic these historical materials are.

However, there is no storm without waves, and Li Yuan must have expressed his dissatisfaction with Li Jiancheng and his desire to pass the throne to Li Shimin.

Otherwise, Li Jiancheng would not be so anxious to get angry, and he must get rid of Li Shimin.

If Li Yuan doesn't like Li Jiancheng and wants to make Li Shimin the crown prince, he should make a decision as soon as possible.

It is absolutely impossible to select Li Jian as the crown prince and at the same time tell Li Shimin that you want to pass on the position of crown prince to him.

Doesn't this artificially create conflicts among the sons?

Moreover, Li Yuan did not limit the power of Qin Wang Li Shimin.

If Li Yuan thinks it through clearly, Li Jiancheng will assume the crown prince's position and not replace it with someone else.

Then, he must quickly limit Li Shimin's power.

The imperial power society is a society in which the emperor's power is dominant.

Where the emperor's power is dominant, and where the emperor exercises dictatorial rule, the society appears to be very stable.

If power is dispersed, it will inevitably cause turmoil.

Therefore, after the general emperor selects the prince of the East Palace, he will limit the power of other princes and make other princes to be loyal to the prince no matter what.

However, when Li Yuan confirmed Li Jian as the crown prince, he did not limit Li Shimin's power.

Li Shimin's power is extremely powerful.

On the one hand, he holds the military power in his hand, and the army is basically in his hands, and he controls and dispatches it.On the other hand, he holds human rights.

All the talented people in the world are basically in his hands.

Even Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji have discovered this. In any case, civil officials such as Fang Xuanling and military officials such as Yu Chigong should be transferred from Li Shimin's side.

Li Yuan didn't realize this.

If Li Yuan feels that Li Shimin's power cannot be shaken, then he should change the crown prince as soon as possible, and let Li Shimin take the crown prince.

Otherwise, the further you delay, the greater the danger.

In the end, Li Yuan did not have the ability to deal with incidents on the spot.

The above mentioned are some precautions before the occurrence of the "Xuanwu Gate Change".

When Li Shimin was about to create an incident and sued Li Yuan, saying that Li Jiancheng, Li Yuanji and Li Yuan's concubines had ridiculous things.

Li Yuan didn't realize at the time that this was actually a bureau set up by Li Shimin to attract Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji and kill them.

This was a sign of his insensitivity. Of course, Li Yuan cannot be completely blamed for his insensitivity.

But Li Yuan's handling of Li Shimin's complaint was very immature and absurd.

He was planning to call a group of veterans to his side the next day, and at the same time call his three sons to his side to confront them face to face.

Brother Li Jiancheng and his concubine Li Yuan had something improper, how could they confront the veteran minister?Doesn't this look ridiculous?

Perhaps, Li Yuan's original intention was not to confront, but to mediate the relationship between the three sons.

However, knowing that the three sons are in dire straits, how can they mediate?

Li Yuan didn't change his role at all, he still took the role of a father to deal with family affairs, not a politician to deal with national affairs.

In this way, how can there be no problems?

In short, because of Li Yuan's low political level, he had no plans beforehand and no countermeasures afterwards.

In the end, after the "Xuanwumen Change" happened, he completely lost control and fell into Li Shimin's rhythm completely, which caused the tragedy between him, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji.

But to resolve the conflict between the Crown Prince's Mansion and King Qin's Mansion, one can only completely disappear.

The problem is that although Li Yuan is a high-ranking emperor, he is also a kind father. He cannot make the cruelest choice in his life, so he can only choose to sit idly by and let the situation worsen.

To put it bluntly, all the evil consequences were borne by Li Yuan alone.

Li Yuan had his own misfortune, because he lost his throne and dignity.

Li Yuan also has his own great fortune, because he has practiced the great wisdom of forbearance and concession, and finally he was able to get along with Li Shimin peacefully and die well.

In fact, Li Yuan's greatest luck is that Li Shimin is an outstanding successor, he carried forward the past and made the Great Tang Empire extremely brilliant in the history of the world.

History has gone, the emperors of the past have turned into a pile of dust, and the complicated historical entanglements have disappeared without a trace, leaving only the wisdom of the ancients and the perception of the present, and nothing more.

Li Yuan abdicated the throne to Li Shimin at the age of 61, and then he served as the Supreme Emperor for 9 years.
