Li Shimin killed Li Yuanji and all his sons, but married his wife, what did he think?
Everyone must be very clear about Li Shimin. They all think that he is a generation of Ming Jun. As an emperor, he governed the country very well. And at that time, the people also lived a very happy life. And historically he had a very good relationship with his ministers. Therefore, everyone is also very willing to be an official under his hands. But as Li Shimin's brother, this is a very miserable thing.
Speaking of this, everyone should know the change of Xuanwu Gate. This should be the stain on Li Shimin's life, and it is undeniable that he was a very good emperor. Everyone should know very well about the change of Xuanwumen, in this incident, he personally killed his brother and brother, except for them, he did not even spare his relatively young nephew, as long as it was his brother's child he did not leave a single one. Even a child who could not walk, he did not let go.
It is because of these that Li Shimin has been subjected to a lot of controversy. In fact, the people of the ancient imperial family were like this. Have you ever wondered what would happen to him if he failed? Certainly not very good. In fact, it is not a surprise to kill someone who can threaten his throne, but why would he marry his brother's wife.
There are many sayings for this. Some people say that because Yang is more beautiful, Li Shimin is like occupying her, and his brothers and brothers have been killed, and it is not an excessive thing to occupy their daughters-in-law. But in history, Li Shimin was not a person who liked beauty. After Wu Zetian married him, he did not give birth to any children for him. And there is nothing going on in the harem? In fact, Li Shimin, an emperor and the most powerful person in the whole world, how could he not find a beautiful woman. Why dominate the Yang clan?
In fact, we can talk about it from a political point of view. Everyone also knows that he is a very generous person, and as long as he has helped him, he will be very good to them. Just like Wei Zheng, everyone should know that he is Li Jiancheng's subordinate, but because of the xuanwumen change, he helped Li Shimin, so after that, Li Shimin also accepted him. In fact, if you study history carefully, it is not difficult for you to find that he has a very good understanding of the relationship between various forces. And he's also very good at regulating their relationship. It should not be difficult for everyone to find that he is also very ambitious.
Yang was actually the niece of Yang Xiong, the King of Sui. In fact, Yang Fei is not what everyone thinks, he is not Li Yuanji's wife Yang Shi. Yang's title was actually Princess Chao, and she had a son named Li Ming. Princess Yang is actually a lady, and her children are Li Ke and Li Yan, who are completely two people. Therefore, everyone must be careful and serious.
During this period, everyone should also know that the family clans often form alliances through marriage. Therefore, Li Shimin married Yang Shi precisely because of this, so that the Tang Dynasty and the Sui Dynasty had a relationship with each other, in fact, their family had the habit of marrying their brothers and wives, and in this way he could also appease Li Yuanji's old subordinates, so that he could do it completely.
Originally, Yang's family was also very good. After empress dowager's death, Li Shimin still wanted To make Consort Yang empress, but Wei Zheng disagreed. It can also be seen that the emperor still likes her very much.
After understanding this, we can also speculate. It may be because the Yang family portrait is deeply rooted in Li Shimin's heart, but because he originally had this habit in his family, he could marry his brother's wife. In this way, Li Shimin did not have so much psychological pressure. So he started acting.
