Chapter 238: Cowardice has no reason to cultivate
"Listen to what you mean, in an era when many cultivators can break the army alone, all those in power have to be cultivators?"
Shaking her head, Hua Xue denied this statement: "In fact, only the founding of the country and some special monarchs are indeed powerful cultivators. And if the king who keeps his business is strong enough and loyal enough to be the minister of the auxiliary government, it doesn't matter if he doesn't cultivate. Among the kings who are not cultivators, the most well-known is probably Li Zhi. Li Shimin himself seized the throne by force, and he couldn't rest assured about his sons. Like Li Chengqian and Li Tai, who have cultivated princes, he is not at ease, and finally named Li Zhi, who has not cultivated, as the prince. And with the eldest grandson Wuji and other old ministers, Li Shimin is not afraid that Li Zhi will suffer. ”
The women were very confused about Li Chengqian, Li Tai or something.
There were many poets in the Tang Dynasty, and most of the prosperous Tang Dynasty sung were "reminiscing about the heyday of the Kaiyuan Dynasty", and Li Bai and Du Fu were all people at that time. As for the early Tang Dynasty, the four heroes were all figures from the time of Gaozong, and even if they knew how Gaozong ascended the throne, they didn't dare to say. So unless you carefully turn over the relevant history, there are really not many people who know about Li Zhi's brothers. Of course, this is also related to the fact that there are relatively few novels and they are not widely circulated.
Hua Xue had to explain in detail: "Li Chengqian, Li Tai and Li Zhi are three brothers with the same father and mother. Well, as for some rumors that Li Chengqian's father is not Li Shimin or something, just listen to it, there is no evidence. They were successively named crown princes by Li Shimin, and finally Li Zhi ascended the throne, which was Tang Gaozong. Their mother is the sister of the eldest grandson Wuji, the eldest grandson Wuji. Therefore, the eldest grandson Wuji really worked hard to protect Li Zhi. Those who were slightly threatened to Li Zhi's throne were not nephews like Li Chengqian and Li Tai, and they were all killed by him with excuses. He killed this stubble, in fact, it was equivalent to clearing a large number of obstacles for Her Majesty the Empress to ascend the throne later. Otherwise, something like Li Ke or the like, with a lot of prestige in the Li clan, maybe it would be a big trouble. ”
"I remember that the eldest grandson Wuji was dismissed by Tang Gaozong, right?"
"Hah, that's right. Who let him stand in the way of Her Majesty? He was dead set on Li Zhi, but Li Zhi was dead set on Her Majesty the Empress, and he was naturally sold by Li Zhi to Her Majesty the Empress. This can be regarded as his unknown acquaintance, and he is unladylike when he meets people. If he had sworn to protect Li Chengqian to the death, perhaps it would not have been this ending, and it is not known. Whoever told him to see that he was his own nephew, so it didn't matter who he protected or not? ”
"What's going on with that Li Ke?"
"Among all Li Shimin's sons, Li Ke is the best. He inherited the wisdom and martial arts of his father Li Shimin and maternal grandfather Yang Guang when they were young, and he was well received in the Li clan. Therefore, he was also seen by Li Shimin in his eyes, hindered in his heart, and set up as a target, and when he met someone, he asked: 'I want to establish Li Ke as the prince, what do you think?' But he was too obvious. In addition, whether it is Yang Guang or Li Shimin, the throne is not right, so everyone has guessed his precautions against Li Ke. So everyone who was asked did not say that they supported it, but said that the prince should not be changed lightly, and it was best to keep it as it was. ”
"Yang Guang was also a prince before he ascended the throne, right? Where's the wrong place? ”
There is no need for Hua Xue to explain, there is Liu Ru said: "When Yang Jian was seriously ill, Yang Guang wrote to ask about the process of Yang Su's accession to the throne, and the reply fell into Yang Jian's hands. Yang Jian's favorite concubine cried and complained of Yang Guang's indecency. Yang Jian wanted to depose Yang Guang and set up another one, but was discovered by Yang Guang and usurped the throne. ”
Hua Xue nodded: "What Sister Ying said is the statement of "Zizhi Tongjian". Sima Guang referred to the records of the Tang Dynasty. But this account actually does not stand up to scrutiny and is full of loopholes. These black cauldrons are basically the dirty water poured on Yang Guang by the anti-kings of the late Sui Dynasty. It's just that the anti-kings, including Li Tang, said so, and under the crowd's mouth, people in the world can only believe it. ”
"Where doesn't it stand up to scrutiny? Didn't you just say that Yang Guang was not in the right position? ”
"When I say that Yang Guang is not in the right position, I mean that when he removed his brother Yang Yong from the position of prince, he used a lot of small means. Of course, in fact, in the hearts of Li Shimin and others, it is still very possible to believe in those dirty water, after all, he has done such things himself, and he lives others with himself, nothing more.
"As for what can't stand scrutiny, the simplest question is: Yang Guang and Yang Su's letters, for so many years, Yang Jian has not intercepted them when he was good, why did he intercept them as soon as he became seriously ill?"
"Maybe Yang Guang took it lightly and got carried away?"
"These four words of complacency are the biggest slander against Yang Guang by later generations." As far as the Sui Dynasty died, it was a river, and it has been thousands of miles away. If there is no water temple dragon boat thing, there is not much merit in Gongyu? 'Obviously it is a generation of heroes who 'Gong Yu discusses merit', but what has been handed down to future generations is all 'water temple dragon boat things', which is really terrifying! ”
Hua Xue's words were full of embarrassment, and the taste of ridicule was too strong, the class master couldn't listen to it anymore, and glared at him: "Speak well!" Don't be cynical! Do you know a lot more and understand? I think you're getting carried away! ”
Hua Xue said so much this night, surrounded by a group of fat swallows, and looked at him with a look that you know a lot, he instinctively floated a little.
At this time, he was glared at by the class master, and immediately returned to the north, touched his head, resumed his modest and cautious posture, and said: "Every decree of Yang Guang is actually targeted and well thought out. It's just that the country laid down by Yang Jian was built on the original Yuwen regime, which led to the fact that the whole country actually has a lot of hidden dangers, and it is in danger of overturning at any time. When Yang Guang was the emperor, he should be trembling, walking on thin ice, how could he get carried away when he was the prince? ”
When Hua Xue said this, she couldn't help but burst out with an astonishing speculation: "Let me tell you, when I looked at the history of the Sui and Tang dynasties, I found that Li Yuan's rise was quite unnatural. So I came up with a rather surprising guess: Li Shimin was not actually Yang Guang's son-in-law, but his son. Li Tang Dynasty Sui Yang is actually just a scene discussed by Yang Guang and Li Yuan. It's just that Li Yuan finally repented and wanted to put his son on the throne, so he wanted to make Li Jiancheng the crown prince. In the end, Li Shimin, who knew the truth, launched the Xuanwumen Change, and the first strike was strong. ”
This speculation is so absurd that all the women don't believe it.
Hua Xue added to her reasoning and said, "Don't believe it. Yang Guang's marriage of his daughter to Li Shimin is quite problematic. You must know that Li Shimin has already married the eldest grandson Wuji, how could Yang Guang marry his daughter to be a child? Obviously, she put a palace maid in the name of a princess and added prestige to Li Shimin. ”
