After leading the troops out, it should have been awarded by Emperor Taizong, but because the national treasure was his own, his soldiers rushed to follow suit. Banshi was arrested and imprisoned after he returned to Korea, but he was released because of Cen Wenben's intercession, and he has been bitter since he got out of prison. Colluding with Prince Li Chenggan, the rebellion plan leaked.
Analyze this problem.
(First correct a mistake: the exact age of Hou is not recorded in the history books. Seventy years old is an online saying. I guess I don't think Hou will be very old, because the main force of Xuanwu Gate used in those years was basically young people. )
Note: Everyone has his own preferences. I just share my personal views, and not everyone agrees.
The question "Why did Hou rebel" actually has two meanings:
1. Why did Hou rebel?
2. Why did Hou dare to rebel?
Many respondents only answered the first question, that is, "Why did Hou rebel?" This is very simple, because he was sent to prison by Li Shimin on the grounds of "private soldiers robbing treasure handmaiden", which is also a sufficient motive for rebellion.
But most people care about the second floor, which is the key. After all, there are many officials who are reprimanded by the emperor every day, but few of them eventually take the road of rebellion, and most of them plead guilty, resign or even commit suicide.
