There must be demons when things go wrong, and Li Yuan has named his concubine in a variety of ways, which is not something that Li Yuan did casually.
Although the name is a person's code name, it is the second precious thing that parents give to their sons besides life. Although I felt strange before, I did not discover the secrets, and as my experience and cultural level grew, I tasted the secrets contained in the names of the four brothers of the Li family.
Li Yuan's rise is no accident
According to people's usual impressions, Li Yuan, the emperor, seemed to be blown by a strong wind, and Li Shimin played a crucial role in this process.
This is just an illusion created by Li Shimin after sitting on the throne, in order to decorate his own merits, Li Yuan, as the Emperor Gaozu of the Tang Dynasty, must have some unique skills of his own.
In 566, Li Yuan was born in Chang'an City, and from birth, Li Yuan stood on the shoulders of giants. His grandfather Li Hu was one of the Eight Pillar States of Western Wei, and his mother was Yang Guang's sister to his mother.
That is to say, Li Yuan's uncle is the current emperor, and Li Yuan is a cousin relationship with Yang Guang and others. From the point of view of blood, the standard imperial relatives.
A child who grows up in this background must have great insight and courage.
But in ancient times there was a very interesting phenomenon that the emperor liked talented and capable people, but he did not like particularly talented and capable people.
If a person is talented, loved by the people, and has no special hobbies, then once the news reaches the emperor's ears, it is not a particularly happy thing.
If he was just a sesame petty official, the emperor would usually reward him, and if he was a heavy vassal of the Guan Long clique, then he would be in danger.
Li Yuan has known how to grasp this scale since he was a child, which may also have something to do with the early death of his father. Therefore, the prerequisite for Li Yuan to rise is that he knew how to converge early on, which also laid the foundation for his subsequent success.
Li Yuan has a calm personality and is fierce
If the Sui Dynasty could continue to be strong, perhaps Li Yuan could be safe and secure as his taishou. Born in a rich family, he believed that Wenzhi Martial Arts did not lose to Yang Guang, and Li Yuan was naturally not willing to succumb to others for a lifetime.
Later, the banner of the Sui Dynasty fell into the hands of Yang Guang, whose temperament was completely different from Li Yuan's. In Yang Guang's heart, the world's major events are not erer, there is no difficulty at all, he is determined to be a figure comparable to the Qin Emperor Han Wu.
During Yang Guang's reign, he built the eastern capital Luoyang, excavated the Grand Canal, and attacked Goguryeo several times, exhausting the prosperous Sui.
At the same time, Li Yuan could only develop steadily in Taiyuan, but his excellent ability to govern still received extra attention from Yang Guang. In order to dispel Yang Guang's doubts, Li Yuan could only pretend to be mediocre and go in and out of various entertainment venues, and the notoriety even reached Yang Guang's ears.
Because of this, Li Yuan often showed the world a mediocre appearance.
Later, the Sui Dynasty was in chaos, and Yang Guang lived in Yangzhou, and for a time there was a grand scene of Dou Jiande, Wang Shichong, Li Mi and other tyrants on the same stage.
Yang Guang's last spirit was also crushed by the rebels, and at this time the Sui Dynasty army was no longer able to restrain Li Yuan's development.
Even at that time, Li Yuan did not have the certainty of victory, after all, when Jinyang was raised, Li Yuan's troops were few tens of thousands.
Leading these families to start a business, Li Yuan also needs great courage. In order to seek a safe and secure, but also to seek a good reputation, Li Yuan has been very passive from beginning to end, and he has always played the role of a passive initiator.
If the uprising fails, Li Yuan will not have to bear the infamy of this thousand years, and this pot will still be thrown on the body of the second son, Li Shimin.
Li Yuan took a quick and accurate shot, directly led the rebel army to capture Chang'an, pushed Yang Guang to the position of Emperor Taishang, and then declared himself chancellor.
Subsequently, seeing that the overall situation had been decided, Li Yuan forced Yang Youchan to sit on his own and establish the Tang Dynasty in name only.
Reading Li Yuan's son's name together, he discovered a secret
Although Li Yuan was pretending everywhere, his son's name had already been finished, and he could not change his son's name anymore, if this was the case, it was not too obvious.
According to historical records, Li Yuan had four concubines, namely Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin, Li Xuanba, and Li Yuanji. Among them, Li Xuanba was not very good at boarding, and did not do a career.
As the eldest son of Li Yuan, Li Jiancheng has important significance for him. The name jian also expresses Li Yuan's hope that he or his son can make meritorious achievements.
The "people of the world" have the saying of "Ji Shi An Min", and after making meritorious achievements, Li Yuan's other wish is to be able to "Ji Shi An Min".
The two words "Xuanba" are linked together, referring to another goal of Li Yuan, after Ji Shi'anmin, Li Yuan will lead the army to "dominate the world", so as to lay a foundation of his own jiangshan.
The word "Yuanji" represents Li Yuan's good wish, that is, everything can be completed and everything will go smoothly. "Yuan" is round and has the meaning of consummation, and Ji has the meaning of "auspicious".
The names of the four sons represent the four stages of Li Yuan's pursuit of the world and the final completion of the great idea of the unification of the world, but this secret has never been seen by anyone, let alone exposed.
The reason is because Li Yuan is too thoughtful to hide, if according to Yang Guang's approach, it is too simple to let a person have problems.
postscript
Li Yuan finally completed the goal he had set, for him, the end of the sons killing each other was miserable, and Li Yuan's late life was also quite restrictive, causing him to be busy giving birth every day.
But no matter how to say it, Li Yuan is not as assertive as we think, he can lay the foundation of the world and establish the Tang Dynasty, and Li Yuan's level is far from being as bad as the legend says.
