What are the four major crimes that he exposed to Emperor Taizong and Li Shimin?

Li Shimin was the second emperor of the Tang Dynasty. His name means "help the world and protect people's safety." Emperor Taizong initiated the "rule of chastity" in history. After actively eliminating the separatist forces in various places, he was modest in coachable, practiced internal economy, and made the people recuperate. Finally, society becomes prosperous and peaceful. Later, it laid an important foundation for the prosperity of Kaiyuan and pushed the traditional Chinese agricultural society to the peak.

There is no denying that Li Shimin was a good emperor, but we should also know that Emperor Taizong was also a human being. As the saying goes, no one is perfect, so everyone makes mistakes. At the same time, he also has a cruel and cold-blooded side, such as the change of Xuanwu Gate. So today, let's talk about the mistake made by Li Shimin Taizong, which caused the "four major unjust cases".

So, what are the four major unjust cases made by Emperor Taizong?

One: Sheng Yan died of sin.

Sheng Yanshi is a military commander. He destroyed Shi Biao and pacified the king of Chu. He is a rare military genius, but if he is a lobbyist for surrender, he is a layman. During Xu Yuanlang's rebellion, he deliberately appointed Sheng Dilai as the appeasement ambassador, in order to use his fame to make Xu Yuanlang yield easily and achieve the ideal effect of "defeating the enemy without fighting". Only to find that Sheng Yanshi's words were captured alive by Xu Yuanlang before he finished.

According to "Biography of Shengyan Family in Old Tang Dynasty", after being captured, Shengyan family stood firm in the face of threats and inducements from Xu Yuanlang, showing its loyalty to Li Shimin. But "thief ping, Yan died of sin." It is a great sin for the banquet master to fall into the enemy's hands, and Li Shimin is even more guilty because of his inaccurate counsel and improper employment. Li Shimin's death was not so much to vent his dissatisfaction with Sheng Yanshi as to shirk his responsibility and cover up his mistakes.

Two: You envy sitting here, but you have no family.

If Sheng Yanshi's death is his own fault, then Li Junxian's death is inconceivable. A suspicious prediction, a wrong prediction, easily ruined Li Junxian's life.

According to the records in Zi Jian 'an Period, in the early years of Zhenguan, a prediction that "after the Three Tang Dynasties, Queen Wu Wang took over the world" aroused great vigilance and suspicion from ministers.

When he learned that posthumous title was five women, and that a series of titles such as Wulian County, General Zuo Wuwei and Xuanwumen Shoujiang all had the word "Wu", which coincided with "Little Three", his bad luck followed.

First, he was "deeply hated" by the emperor, then he was transferred from the capital, and soon he was impeached by the empire for "making bad friends with demon people". Finally, Li Shimin didn't even try the trial, so he issued a decree, "You are jealous and sitting there, but you have no family".

Bad luck comes so fast and so coherent that I'm afraid Li Junxian will never know how he offended Li Shimin until he dies.

Three: Sean was beheaded by the imperial edict and had no family.

Shawn, the minister of punishments, was executed on charges of "rebellion". Because his official position in Xiangzhou was widely praised as "a victorious place, there will be a king in a few years", because someone discovered the prediction that "a king with a bow should be his other capital", because he privately talked about these sensitive topics with several charlatans, and because his wife loved witchcraft and interfered in political affairs, which had a negative impact on him, Ling, a hero member from a peasant background, was quickly pushed to the forefront of "rebellion"

"Rebellion" is the last thing the emperor wants to hear. Whether it is true or not, he wants to get rid of it quickly. While Li Shimin was struggling to find conclusive evidence, he suddenly heard that Sean privately raised 500 strong men as adopted sons, and finally gave him a ready-made handle.

Therefore, Li Shimin made a subjective inference and said to the courtiers, "If you have a 500-year-old adopted son, how will you raise this generation? I want my back to my ear. " As a result, the best friend who helped Li Shimin beg for mercy, the chief officer of Canghai Road who had just returned to Chang 'an from the Korean battlefield, and the minister of punishments who begged for mercy before he died were all beheaded by imperial edict, and there was nothing he could do.

Not many people can get high praise from Li Shimin. Besides "mirror" Wei Zhi, it should be Liu Yue, who is the "most faithful gender". Because of Liu Yue's loyalty, courage, ability and loyalty, Li Shimin entrusted him to assist the prince in supervising the national task during his expedition to Koguryo. /kloc-Emperor Taizong, who returned from an expedition to Koguryo in 0/9, listened to Chu Suiliang's slanderers and killed Liu Yue hastily without sufficient investigation and study.

According to Zi Jiannian, Emperor Taizong got carbuncle when he went to Koguryo. After hearing the news, Liu Yue was very worried. He once said eight words to his colleagues: "Don't worry, your illness is so serious!" " This is a heartfelt statement about worrying about the country and the king, but it completely changed when it came to Emperor Taizong: "It is said that there is not enough worry about national affairs, but young people are in charge of the stories of Iraq and Huo, but ministers with different ambitions punish them and make their own decisions." Besides "rebellion", the most sensitive word in the imperial court is "succession".

Everyone who enters the interview is well aware of Li Shimin's "heart disease". If he enters the interview at will on the issue of successor, the emperor will lose his mind and fly into a rage. Without saying anything, Emperor Taizong immediately wrote: "Have a secret discussion with others, prevent spying, attempt to control the balance of state affairs, and be suspicious of ministers such as Iraq and Huo. He wants to commit suicide. "

However, after all, Emperor Taizong was a famous monarch, and in his later years he also reflected on his mistakes of excessive extravagance and erosion in his later years. When he was teaching Prince Li Zhi, he reflected on his life: "We should look for wise emperors in ancient times as examples to learn from. People like me can't support themselves. I did a lot of wrong things. For example, resplendent pearls and jade emerge one after another, palaces and terraces are built repeatedly, dogs, horses, eagles and falcons have nowhere to go, and traveling around the world wastes people and money. This is a big mistake. Don't think everything is a good thing, always learn to do it. "
