Historically, the change of imperial power was bloody, and the inheritance of the head of the family or the title within the big family was also full of blood.
Today's editor is talking about a bloody battle between the elders and the nephew during Yang Jian's reign as emperor in the Sui Dynasty, and it was also a conspiracy to kill the other party.
Li Mu was originally for Yang Jian to seize the Northern Zhou Dynasty, vital heart (self-proclaimed Longxi Li family, descendants of Li Ling of the Han Dynasty, and was the governor of the state at that time), as a representative of the Guanlong Group, his surrender, played an exemplary role, after Yang Jian took the throne, but also strongly supported the issue of moving the capital, so Yang Jian was extremely gracious to him, not only to his personal favor, but also more than 100 people in his family were officials of the fifth grade and above, and the family members were "full" of the court.
In the fifteenth year after Li Mu's death (601, also the first year of Renshou), there was a case of Li Ji sending people to kill Li Yun.
Interestingly, in this case, the main messenger and the actor are fine, one inherited the title and achieved the goal, the other was pardoned, and the "top bag" (the innocent person who was falsely accused) died very unjustly.
First of all, let's introduce the relationship between the characters
Li Hun: Li Mu's son.
Li Yun: Li Muyan's eldest grandson, inherited the title.
Li Shanheng: Li Mu's grandson (murderer).
Li Qutan: Li Mu's grandson (innocent people were killed).
Li Hun's brief information and why he is competing for the title of Li Muyan's eldest grandson?
Li Hun Qiren, Li Mu's tenth son, may be the youngest son; At the beginning of the tripartite rebellion, when Wei Chi Hui rebelled, he invited Li Mu to rebel against Yang Jian's dictatorship at the same time, and was co-opted by Yang Jian's envoy to Li Hun and said that Li Mu would join Yang Jian.
Then Li Mu asked Li Hun to go to Beijing to be loyal, and there should be the intention of being a proton, so Li Hun risked his life to follow Yang Jian for the sake of the family, and after Yang Jian successfully captured the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Li Hun was awarded the Shangyi Tong Three Divisions for his merits and canonized the Duke of Wu'an County.
Li Hun was co-opted by Yang Guang again and commanded Yang Guang's cronies. He also followed Yang Su to break through the Turkic Abeqi in Nayuanchuan and killed the enemy's head of 500. Because of his military exploits, he was promoted to the rank of general, worshiped General Zuo Wuwei, and led the prince Zongwei to lead the rate.
As Li Hun's status improved, his determination to seize the title became greater and greater.
At that time, in October of the twentieth year of the emperor's reign (600), Emperor Wen of Sui abolished Yang Yong, and in November, Yang Guang was renamed the crown prince; It was not long before Yang Guang became the prince, and the abolished prince Yang Yong did not die! It is very possible whether Li Hun instructed his nephew to kill Li Yun for the sake of Yang Guang's position as the crown prince, because Li Hun has already been labeled as Yang Guang. Book of Sui. The Biography of Li Mu records:
In the early years of Renshou, his uncle Li Hun was angry that he was stingy and sent his nephew Li Shanheng to kill him.
Historical records record that Li Hun was dissatisfied with Li Yun, the head of the family, was stingy and angrily instructed to kill, to say that there is no shadow of Yang Guang behind him, anyway, he does not believe it, because he holds the position of the head of the Li Mu family, and can support Yang Guang's ascension to the throne on behalf of the "Longxi Li family", a member of the Guanlong Group.
Li Yun was born in Longyou's hometown, when he was young, he was worshiped as a Yitong because of his grandfather's merits, and in 588, the second year after his grandfather's death, he inherited his grandfather's title of Duke of Shenguo as the eldest grandson.
Li Dian is the eldest son, let Li Mu send the white-haired person to the black-haired person, earlier than Li Mu died, and the grandson is inherited according to the eldest son, of course, it is Li Yun, and Yang Jian (the imperial court) agreed!
Try to imagine, is there a possibility that Li Yun supports Yang Yong?
Driven by interests, Li Hun made a move and instructed his nephew Li Shanheng to assassinate Li Yun.
The capital of the Great Sui Kingdom, such a sacred place, there was a major incident of assassinating the Guogong, and he was also the contemporary head of the Li family, a big family of the Guanlong Group, and the Li family, a family of founding heroes, Yang Jian was very angry and ordered the officials to carefully find the murderer, but unfortunately nothing was found, and the murderer was never found.
Later, Yang Jian knew that it was someone inside the Li clan who did it, so he ordered to "ban his relatives" and quickly interrogate the murderer.
Li Hun is very smart and ruthless, and there are many family members who support him at home, so he asked the people of the family to point out that it was Li Yun who was killed by Li Qutan. It's really a good way to play, to divert your attention and blame others, and it's very slippery.
In so many witnesses (relatives and servants), Li Qutan was "beheaded" because of this, but Li Shanheng, the perpetrator, was "exempted"; It's really blinding the eyes of titanium alloys, is it reasonable?
In the fourth year of Renshou (604), this year was the unfortunate year of Yang Jian, who "died" in Renshou Palace, and finally remembered Li Yun, who died three years ago, and wanted to set up an heir for him (find a clansman as a son to inherit the title; There is no son, and the eldest is the last in the line).
At this time, Li Hun was anxious, and hurriedly bribed Yu Wenshu to let him intercede with the crown prince Yang Guang, and then apply for his own inheritance (in order to serve Li Mu's heir), and finally Li Hun attacked the Duke of Shen.
This case reflects the situation of cannibalism within the feudal clan in order to compete for the heir, and also reflects the internal struggle within the big family, no less than the change of imperial power, which is full of blood.
Q: What is the thing Li Yun hates the most in the world? If he were to come back from the dead, he might say, "I'm dead, and the murderer is still swaggering, getting promoted and getting rich, and being my son"!
Knowledge: Sitting and beheading is the crime of killing the head.
Heirs, descendants, are commonly known as heirlooms.
