The first legitimate son of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 249 Changes in History

Meng Ziqian succeeded in lobbying the people around the prince. The person around the prince was Zhao Jie. Early the next morning, Zhao Jie hurried to the prince's east palace and explained all the things Meng Ziqian said yesterday. Tell the prince Li Chengqian.

Unfortunately, the prince Li Chengqian didn't pay attention, and even reprimanded Zhao Jie, thinking that Zhao Jie was being sensational, because Li Chengqian believed that his brother would not have any evil intentions towards him.

Zhao Jie finally confessed and left. Li An was not here. If Li An were here, Li An would break out in a cold sweat. That's because history has changed.

The prince Li Chengqian was very good at the beginning. According to legend, Li Chengqian was born in Chengqian Hall, Taiji Palace, Chang'an. His name was given by his grandfather Li Yuan himself, and has the same name as Chengqian Hall.The word "Cheng Qian" is completely different as a palace name and a person's name.Li Yuan gave him this name, which shows that Li Yuan had high hopes for him at that time.

It can be said that Li Chengqian's arrival brought good luck to the Li family.In the next few years, his father Li Shimin led the army to conquer the north and south, and finally conquered the world and unified the Central Plains.Li Chengqian himself was named the King of Hengshan by Li Yuan when he was just two years old, which shows how much he is valued.

Then, when Li Chengqian was eight years old, he ushered in the first important turning point in his life.

In this year, Li Shimin launched a coup at Xuanwu Gate, forcing Li Yuan to give him the throne and change his reign to Zhenguan.

This year, Li Chengqian, who was only eight years old, was named the crown prince.

After being named the crown prince, Li Chengqian's crown prince position can be said to be quite stable.On the one hand, Li Chengqian himself has a reputation as a virtuous man. Although he is young, he is eager to learn and has an excellent reputation.On the other hand, Li Chengqian is the eldest son of Li Shimin, and his biological mother, the eldest grandson of the Queen, has a very good relationship with Li Shimin, and they are a couple who share weal and woe.

How good is Li Shimin to Li Chengqian?
We can give a few examples.

In the fourth year of Zhenguan, Li Shimin issued an order that Li Chengqian should be ordered to "hear a lawsuit". That is to say, after he went to court, Li Chengqian could stand under the emperor's position and listen to government affairs.This year, Li Chengqian was only 12 years old.

In the sixth year of Zhenguan, Li Shimin visited Qizhou. Li Chengqian, who was only 14 years old at the time, was ordered to supervise the country!
Li Shimin's love for Li Chengqian can be seen from this.

Logically speaking, for his father to trust him so much, Li Chengqian happens to be very wise.His crown prince position should have been very secure. After Li Shimin passed away, he could successfully ascend the throne without encountering any problems.

But unfortunately, in the tenth year of Zhenguan, Li Chengqian encountered the second turning point in his life.

This year, Li Chengqian's biological mother, Empress Changsun, passed away.

The death of Queen Changsun had a profound impact on the entire Tang Dynasty.This strange woman who personally accompanied Li Shimin in launching the Xuanwu Gate Revolution had an extremely gentle temperament.It can be said that the reason why Li Shimin was able to create his own prosperous Zhenguan era and tolerate admonitions like Wei Zheng was because the existence of the Changsun family filled a gentle private space for Li Shimin, who had a strong personality.

It was precisely because of the death of Empress Changsun that Li Shimin would start drafting women again only a year later.It was in this year that Wu Zetian, who later became the empress of the generation, officially entered the palace and began her legendary life.

At the same time, due to the death of Queen Changsun, the father and son Li Shimin and Li Chengqian gradually began to have a crack.

This crack is not because Li Shimin no longer dotes on the prince Li Chengqian, but because communication between father and son will be very difficult due to the lack of a mother as a mediator.

This relationship can actually be compared to today's single-parent families.If the mother dies young and the father raises the child by himself, there will most likely be serious communication barriers between father and son.The situation of Li Shimin's family at that time actually fell into this category.In the tenth year of Zhenguan, Queen Changsun died at the age of 36.At that time, Li Shimin was 39 years old and Li Chengqian was 17 years old.Ten years after Zhenguan, Li Chengqian, who grew up in a single-parent education environment, began to undergo tremendous changes in his life.Coupled with the education of a group of staid civil servants, this young man who was in the rebellious period finally went astray.

As the prince's teachers, Kong Yingda, Zhang Xuansu and others wanted to give advice at all times and would never allow Li Chengqian to make any mistakes.Later, Li Chengqian favored a Taichang Leren. Li Shimin was afraid that Li Chengqian would lose his ambition with his toys, so he killed the Taichang Leren directly!
This is like a child in high school today who studies under the supervision of a teacher all the time every day.I finally fell in love with a star, but my father burned all the star-related things that the child had collected in order to avoid delaying his child's studies.

Not to mention in the royal family, but also in ordinary modern families, if parents do this, they may have no other choice but to make their children more rebellious.

As the prince, once Li Chengqian starts to rebel, the consequences will be serious.

In addition, as he grew older, Li Chengqian, who was gradually rebellious at that time, had to face another problem.

His brother's challenge to inherit the throne.

The challenges Li Chengqian faced at that time mainly came from his half-brother Li Tai.

Li Tai was also born to Empress Changsun and was the legitimate second son of Li Shimin.Li Shimin also liked Li Tai very much.Moreover, because Li Tai is not a prince, Li Shimin's requirements for Li Tai are not that high.According to court practice, all princes must go to their respective fiefdoms to become vassals after reaching adulthood.But out of his love for Li Tai, Li Shimin still kept Li Tai in Chang'an after Li Tai came of age.

Li Shimin's actions further strengthened Li Chengqian's misunderstanding, causing Li Chengqian to misunderstand that Li Shimin wanted to change the prince.

In the 16th year of Zhenguan, Li Chengqian, who was 24 years old at the time, hastily launched a coup under the planning of his father-in-law Hou Junji and others.This coup ended in failure.

But why is history changed? Because with the help of Li An, Empress Changsun did not die. As long as Empress Changsun is still alive, there will be no rift between Li Chengqian and Li Shimin.

The crack is gone. No matter how hard Li Tai tries, as long as Queen Changsun always stands firmly on Li Chengqian's side, Li Chengqian will not have any worries.

In this way, the brothers will not fight each other. Many times, a small butterfly wing can change too many things. Li An would not have thought that his arrival would undoubtedly begin to change the trajectory of Datang's actions at this time. And when Ang Lee returns to modern times again, this modern era will make Ang Lee feel hugely unfamiliar.

Of course, Meng Ziqian's words and deeds have long been under Li Shimin's control. Seeing the news sent by Huang Bao about Meng Ziqian's intention to provoke a fight between his sons, Li Shimin was really angry for a moment. no,
"Huang Bao.!"

"The old slave is here...!"

"Head to Lijia Village."

"Yes!"
