Probably influenced by film and television dramas, Li Ke, who has always played a tragic character, has become the best candidate for the prince in the minds of many fans. In fact, judging from www.biquge.info the real situation, except for the eldest grandson queen's own child, or a few raised by herself, the other children are a bit like stepmothers in Li Shimin's eyes, and the difference in treatment is really big.

This starts with Li Ke's mother-in-law, some people recognize this person, or feel that he brushes shoulders with the throne, all because he has the blood of the royal family of the two dynasties, which naturally makes him unspeakably expensive, but also because he is worried that after he comes to power, the Tang Dynasty will become the Great Sui and failed to succeed in ascending the throne.

In fact, this is a bit of an overestimation of the power of his bloodline. Let's talk about his mother first, although she is also the princess of the Sui Dynasty, but she has not been crowned and the name has been handed down, which shows that this is probably not a very favored princess, otherwise she would not have been left on the side of Chang'an when the emperor went on patrol, and then she was taken over by Li Tang by the way.

Moreover, this Concubine Yang did not seem to be one of the four virtuous and virtuous concubines during her lifetime, and her treatment was not even as good as that of Concubine Yin as the daughter of Li Tang's enemy, which shows that her status in the harem may not be very high.

In this case, as one of the concubines, it is predictable how much attention Li Ke can receive. The existence of their mother and son probably has more of a role, which is to give a little psychological comfort to those former ministers of the Sui Dynasty.

And he was already arranged to take office in the fiefdom a few years ago, according to the records of later generations, Li Tai and Li Zhi, the two brothers, have always stayed by Li Shimin's side and have never been far away.

After Empress Changsun died of illness, Li Zhi was brought up by Li Shimin, and even after he became the crown prince, he was reluctant to let him live in the East Palace. What kind of favor is this, how formulaic it is for Li Ke, this differential treatment is too obvious.

The rewards given to Li Chengqian and their brothers often exceeded the standard, so that Wei Zheng and them often had to complain, but when they came to Li Ke, they were directly exempted from being arrogant and lascivious.

There are still many records about Li Shimin's excessive pampering of the son born to the eldest grandson, but there are no specific cases of Li Ke's favor, which shows that this position in Li Shimin's heart is just like that.

And this difference can also be seen in their private communication. Li Shimin wrote letters to Li Ke, most of them were admonishments, and the whole article was to educate him not to see the sky and not to do business, to hunt less, to spoil the crops of his farmers, and so on.

It's a letter to Li Zhi, there is a very famous example called "Two Degrees of Posting", the previous content is too numb to say, just this last sentence, "Remembering the slave wants to die, I don't know what to do to return it, Gu." yes, yes. The gist of it is "I want to die if I think about it, I don't know when I will be able to go back, that's all I have to say." Daddy, Edict".

The strong father-son relationship embodied in this is definitely not comparable to those formulaic written language. It can also be seen from this that in terms of this distant and close relatives, there is a big difference between the biological and the stepmother's raising.

Of course, many people will think that compared with Li Zhi, who bears the name of "benevolence and filial piety", Li Ke is at least very talented, but it is a pity that it is recorded in the history books that he only seems to have the advantage of "good shooting".

But for the children of the Guanlong aristocratic group, this thing seems to be a necessary ability, and there are no highlights in other cultural and martial arts that can be recorded by the historian, so it can be seen that his ability should not be very prominent.

However, there are many records about him not making big mistakes and making small mistakes, and there is no better than his younger brother Li Su, who was evaluated by Li Shimin as "inferior to beasts", and he came much better, maybe this is also a means of self-protection for him, and he has the essence of self-pollution.

It's a pity that his efforts still failed in the end, just because he was mentioned by Li Shimin, he was sad.

Even Shi Lei was a little dark-bellied, did this be Li Shimin's special trip to be used by his youngest son Li Zhi Liwei, knowing that his eldest brother, Sun Wuji, was a notoriously cautious guy, and he only had the idea of making Li Ke the prince in front of this smiling tiger.

It's just that the eldest grandson Wuji lightly objected, and he didn't talk about the bloodline, Li Shimin then changed his words, this proposal is inevitably too distracting, more like mentioning the eldest grandson Wuji.

And for the sake of his two sons, Li Chengqian and Li Tai can live well, Li Shimin has tried his best to ensure their integrity, so that the cowardly-looking Li Zhi comes to power is a heavy insurance, and the existence of the eldest grandson Wuji, a minister who cares about his life, is also a heavy one, and there are many other arrangements.

In the end, the two sons were indeed not poisoned, but their pride made them unable to bear the state later.

But when he arrived at Li Ke, he was finished, and he didn't leave him any backhand, and then he was really dealt with by the eldest grandson Wuji, and the deterrent effect was still very strong, after all, first raised his position a lot, and then killed him on the charge of rebellion, such a top person in the No. 1 royal family can be killed, and other people dare to rebel casually.

Therefore, Shi Lei always felt that this unlucky Li Ke was simply a poor person who was killed, and he was used to help Li Zhi, who had just come to power, to establish his prestige.

Of course, whenever he thinks of these things, Shi Lei can't help but complain about Li Zhi's so-called "benevolence and filial piety", this "filial piety" doesn't say anything, kill the eldest grandson Wuji, the maternal uncle, and sleep with his Lao Tzu's woman Wu Zetian, or when she kept filial piety for Li Shimin and ran to the nunnery, she was in love with adultery, which can already be seen.

Is the so-called benevolence, is it that when he killed Li Ke, the tears shed can be reflected? Can't you kill it, even if you can't kill the extremely powerful eldest grandson Wuji at the time, you can always save Li Ke's children, so as not to wait until the eldest grandson Wuji is overthrown, and let the nephew and niece squat in the mountains and suffer all the time, and don't mention the matter of restoring their lives to them at all.

If killing the eldest grandson Wuji can't be regarded as not being merciful enough, just purely for political needs, then what about the queen who abolished the honor and disgrace with him. Moreover, anyone can be sacrificed for the sake of so-called political needs, which shows his coldness.

Anyway, because of his performance, Shi Lei is definitely not happy to mess with such a person, who knows if he will take care of him backhand after he sits firmly on the throne.

Shi Lei's brain couldn't help but run away again, and quickly took his thoughts back, and then looked at Li Chengqian, who was happily walking in front, how satisfied he was.

Especially after having a good discussion with Li Chengqian, Shi Lei was even more satisfied. This person is really practicing hard, and this level will not be worse than those elite guards around him.

Of course, this only refers to hand-to-hand combat, and it has to be a case of not a life-and-death fight. After all, his actual combat experience is still a little worse, these henchmen and guards still expect him to fight for a future, who dares to be ruthless with him, there is really something wrong, and their whole family's heads are not enough to cut off.

However, to this extent, in Shi Lei's opinion, it is already very good, at least there is a certain amount of self-preservation. Li Chengqian's martial arts training is more about strengthening his body, and it is also a kind of will quality for cultivating him.

These samurai around him are not dead people, learning to use talents is something he should really be good at, if he himself has to fight with people himself, he, the prince, is probably the end.

"Shi, I've been short of manpower recently, it's suitable to be a civil official, if you can have the talent of a prime minister, it would be better, do you have any recommendations?" After cleaning up and sitting down in the living room, Li Chengqian asked Shi Lei very sincerely.

Shi Lei glanced at the chief manager Ananda next to him, as well as Xue Rengui, this question really stumped him.
