(November 17th year of Zhenguan) chose a good woman to live in the East Palace; /kloc-On October 7th, the prince asked Zuo Shu's son Yu Zhining to resign. ..... Suspecting that the prince was soft-hearted, he secretly called Sun Chang Wuji, saying, "... The prince of Wu is the fruit, and I want to stand. What should I do? "... the top is the stopping point. In the tenth spring, Renzi (sixth day) said to Wu Shuo, "Although the father and son are the first relatives, they are guilty, but the law in the world cannot be private. In the Han Dynasty, Zhao was made emperor, the prince was unjust, the plot of Yin was irregular, and Huo Guang was reduced to a simplified punishment. Be a courtier, don't quit! "

"Book House Yuan Gui" ◎ Imperial Department, admonition:

In the seventeenth year of Zhenguan, in the middle of spring, the emperor said that the king of Wu said, "The father is to the son, and love remains unchanged. A son can be kind and filial, and a father can be generous and self-respecting. If you don't let go, there will be evil deeds, and punishment will come. What is love? Yesterday, Hanwu established Zhao, and Taizi Dan was domineering. Huo Guangfa fell by 10% and the country died. When you become a minister, you must not be careless. "

"Old Tang Shu Liang Chuan":

In the twenty-third year of Zhenguan, Emperor Taizong fell ill and called Sui Liang and Sun Chang Wuji into the bedroom, saying, "Your loyalty is in my heart. Yesterday, Hanwu sent Huo Guang, and Liu Bei asked Ge Liang. After that, I appointed you. Prince Renxiao, as you know, you must do your best to help and protect the Zongshe forever. " Referring to the prince, he said: "No good is good, and there is no worries about the country." Still life is good for grass.

Yuan Gui of Bookstore ◎ The Criminal Law Department abides by the law correctly;

The emperor cried and said to his courtiers, "My brother is a short man. King Jing is my uncle and King Wu is my brother. Although he violated the national classics, he had to wait for his uncle, brother and sister. In the past, the Duke of Zhou ruled Cai and the Han Dynasty conquered seven countries. As for filial piety, the rebellion planned by King Yan Gai is just punishment. This is not far from the past. How can your majesty give thanks in vain? Just follow it.

In April of the seventeenth year of Zhenguan, Crown Prince Li Chenggan rebelled. After excluding the position of Prince Li Chenggan, Emperor Taizong made Li Zhi the Crown Prince the next day in order to keep his three sons, Li Chenggan, Lee Tae and Li Zhi.

This series of measures taken by Emperor Taizong to establish Li Zhishi can be described as resolute and vigorous, even at the expense of showing his face in front of a bunch of important officials. On the other hand, it took more than half a year for Emperor Taizong to establish Li Zhishi. When he wanted to establish Li Ke on a whim, he only casually said something to the most unlikely person. And judging from the historical data of Zi Jian, even if Li Zhi refused to take a concubine on 1 1 7, Emperor Taizong suspected that he was weak in benevolent governance and immediately thought of Li Ke, but only ten days later, 10/6, Emperor Taizong in turn warned Li Ke not to learn from Liu Dan, the prince of Yan.

More ironically, before his death, Emperor Taizong even mentioned Huo Guang to Sun Chang Wuji. Some people didn't even think about it and dared not explore it. So when dealing with Li Ke and others, it is easy to understand why Tang Gaozong went to find a minister who specifically mentioned the prince Liu Dan, because they just obeyed the will of Emperor Taizong.

Of course, some people claim that Emperor Taizong used the Yan Wang Dan to warn Li Ke, which was "shielding" Li Ke and "good" for Li Ke, and made Li Ke cautious and vigilant. But is this really for Li Ke?

As a prince, no matter what period he lived in, Li Ke's life was not in his own hands, but in the hands of the son of heaven. What's more, with Li Ke's unsuccessful nomination of the prince and the sensitive identity of the illegitimate son, what will happen after the new emperor ascended the throne is unlikely to be predicted by Tang Taizong's political cleverness. Therefore, if Emperor Taizong really sheltered Li Ke and was really good for Li Ke, he should not warn Li Ke to be cautious, but should understand that you should be kind to Li Ke when reporting to the future son of heaven Li Zhi.

It is precisely because he understood this truth that Liu Bang, the Emperor Gaozu, left a letter to Liu Yuxin after failing to change Liu Huiyi, reporting that he must take good care of his brother. In order to keep Li Chenggan, Lee Tae and Li Zhi alive at the same time, Emperor Taizong repeatedly exaggerated Li Zhi-since Emperor Taizong can understand that his successor Li Zhi must be kind to Li Chenggan and Lee Tae in the future, why should he be kind to Li Ke when he exaggerates the differences?

Therefore, Emperor Taizong's warning to Li Ke was only a warning. It has nothing to do with Li ke's so-called cover, nor is it for Li ke's good. If Emperor Taizong is really good to Li Ke, he should report that the future son of heaven must be good to Li Ke.

Some people say that Police was recorded in the eleventh year of Zhenguan, but Zi Jian is a chronicle. In the absence of an exact time record, Sima Guang usually records the incident on the back of a big accident, while the police shake hands and learn from Yan Dan. It is clearly recorded in Zi Tong Zhi Jian that "seventeen years, ten spring, no children". Sima Guang and Li Ke had no hatred or enmity. For no reason, they fabricated a date for Li Ke to be a prince, which was ridiculous and untrue. Therefore, this date was the day when Emperor Taizong warned Li Ke, and it was also recorded in Yuan Gui of Bookstore that it happened in the seventeenth year of Zhenguan.

Comprehensive comparison of the above historical data shows that the reason why Emperor Taizong nominated Li Ke as the Prince is clear at a glance, in order to let everyone turn their attention from Li Zhi's brother to Li Ke, an ordinary son. After all, it is clearly recorded in history books all over the country. After the rebellion of Prince Li Chenggan failed in the seventeenth year of Zhenguan, the highest guiding ideology of Emperor Taizong was how to keep his three sons Li Chenggan, Lee Tae and Li Zhi at the same time. As for the princes other than these three sons, they are not within the scope of Tang Taizong's concern.

Biography of Lee Tae in Old Tang Dynasty;

Emperor Taizong said to his courtiers, "To be honest, it is also true. If I stand up for Thailand, I am the position of the Chu army, Lee Tae, Cheng Gan, Wang Jin does not exist; King Jin, it is no problem for the Thai Communist Party to undertake the task. "

Biography of Lee Tae in the New Tang Dynasty;

The emperor said, "Yes, it's like building a peaceful country, so you can get it by cheating.". Let Thailand stand up, take responsibility, and rule will be finished; Governance is also established, and Thailand and Chenggan are inseparable. "

"Bookstore Yuan Gui empire? English break:

Emperor Taizong said to his courtiers, "If I set up Thailand, I will be the treasurer of the palace, and I can get it through planning. Lee Tae, Cheng Gan and Wang Jin do not exist; King Jin and Taihe Chenggan are all right. "

Zi Tong Zhi Jian Volume 197:

He said to the courtiers, "If I stand up for Thailand, I can get it from the position of prince. From today on, the prince lost his way, and those who served as the captain of the king's detective abandoned it and passed it on to future generations. This will always be the law. And if you stand up straight, you can't perform the task and treat it completely; If you are ruled, you will be safe and sound. "

Don't think that Emperor Taizong is partial. You know, people's emotions are naturally left-leaning. It is difficult to make a uniform bowl of water. Emperor Taizong is not a saint, nor is he the father whose sun shines on the earth. He is just an ordinary man. It is normal to be partial to his beloved son. This can be understood only by how Emperor Taizong usually treated Li Chenggan, Lee Tae and Li Zhi, and how he treated Li Ke's sons.

First, according to historical records, Li Ke went to the fief in Zhenguan seven years at the latest, while Lee Tae, who was the same age as Li Ke, didn't go to the fief. Emperor Taizong even thought about letting him move into Wude Hall (Wude Hall is a palace close to the Eastern Palace, where Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, once lived and exchanged materials with Prince Li, and Tang Xuanzong was also in Wude Hall at the beginning of his reign), but it was finally stopped by Wei's suggestion. Li Zhi has been personally raised by Emperor Taizong since the death of his eldest grandson. Even after he was made a prince, he still ignored Emperor Taizong's blatant violation of etiquette and let him stay with him, which led Chu Suiliang, Liu Yue and others to go to Zhenguan in 18 and 20 years respectively, begging the son of heaven not to stay with the prince and spoil him blindly and let him return to the East Palace.

Secondly, when Li Ke went to Chaqi Mansion in the seventh year of Zhenguan, Emperor Taizong said to Li Ke, "Do you have to meet each other often?" But things at home are special, so we need to make a screen. "It can be seen that the kings are vassals because of" special family and country events "and also for the" coveted heart "of the vassals. However, in fact, it is more appropriate to call Lee Tae, the mother of the prince, as a brother than Li Ke, the concubine. After all, as the prince's mother and brother, Lee Tae is the biggest threat to the storage space. However, in the face of "special family affairs", Emperor Taizong was selfish, not only refusing to let Lee Tae be a vassal, but even asking him to move into the Wude Hall. Needless to say, Li Zhi, Emperor Taizong kept this son with him personally, and kept silent about San Francisco. Zhenguan 16 even let him go to the imperial court to participate in politics, but it happened that Li Ke, who was not a threat, ordered him to fief.

In addition, if this letter written by Emperor Taizong to Li Ke in Zhenguan 12 is only detailed to the sentence "You have violated your knee, you are sad for what you have done, you have to keep your treasure, but you are afraid of being extravagant and extravagant", you will naturally think that it is full of father-son feelings. However, the title of this letter is "A Book of Commandments to Wu". Commanders, warning, warning, when Li You, the king of Qi, repeatedly made mistakes in the fief, Emperor Taizong also wrote a letter to "remonstrate". Therefore, this letter is not about the feelings of remembering after parting, but that Emperor Taizong wrote a letter warning Li Ke to stay in his fief honestly and stop bullying others.

And just like Mrs. Tang said to Li Ke, "If you want to keep treasures for fun, you will be afraid of arrogance and extravagance"-refusing to give him more property on the grounds of restraining Li Ke's arrogance and extravagance. As a result, in the face of Li Chenggan and Li Taishi, Emperor Taizong took the opposite attitude. Emperor Taizong not only rewarded Li Taishi with "ten thousand Thai objects", but also gave Lee Tae "more than the Crown Prince" every month, and even directly lifted the restrictions on Li Chenggan's use of the treasures.

As for the love that Emperor Taizong expressed for his son in his letters, it is really disgusting to read a letter that Emperor Taizong wrote to Li Zhi when he went to Koguryo. But this letter from Emperor Taizong to Li Zhi is more like an ordinary father-son relationship than an earnest warning to Li Ke.

I got a book twice, but I didn't see my slave's watch Yes, yes, I want to die forever. I suddenly got a slave's book when I was running out of time. I reported my wife's illness and was a little worried for the time being. I want to be born again, as if I had died. Today is over, but my mind is full of wind. I'll report it right away. Yes, if you get sick less, you will report it one by one. I got the news from Liaodong today. I recorded it and sent it. I remember slaves wanting to die. I don't know how to get back. Yeah, yeah.

Translation:

I received the documents from ouchi twice, but I still haven't seen your letter. Dad, I was so worried. Just now, I suddenly got your handwriting from a young slave, saying that my wife was ill, and my worries and fears suddenly dissipated, just like coming back from the dead. From now on, write to me as soon as you have a headache. Dad, if I am sick, I will write to you letter by letter. I got the news of Liaodong (battlefield) in the morning and copied it for you. You want to die and be a child slave, and you don't know when you will come back. That's what I'm talking about. Dad, please.

After all, Li Ke was an ordinary prince in the Tang Dynasty, but in recent years, some TV dramas and novels have written too sharply about tampering with history, misleading a large part of the audience and thinking that Li Ke is the favorite son of Emperor Taizong. As long as you are willing to read the official history carefully and see how Emperor Taizong deeply loved Li Chenggan, Lee Tae and Li Zhi recorded in the history books, you can know what the real son of Emperor Taizong should look like.

Compared with Li Chenggan, Lee Tae and Li Zhi, there are countless favored historical sites, only relying on the whim of Emperor Taizong to "establish Wu Wangke" and the phrase "be like yourself" in this environment (don't say that this son is not like himself? ), it is necessary to prove that Li Ke's human feelings are obviously untenable. What's more, in the Book of the Old Tang Dynasty, Emperor Taizong often called himself, and Tang recorded it as "Emperor Taizong tried to call himself", so it can be seen that the word here is often a pan-word, which means that Emperor Taizong once said that Li Ke is like himself, instead of usually saying that Li Ke is like himself-if Emperor Taizong usually said that Li Ke is like himself but didn't give him any cover, then this move is not in love with Li Ke, but in harm.

Especially in the second year of Zhenguan, Li Ke and Lee Tae were blocked at the same time, but the treatment was obviously different. Li Ke was appointed as the secretariat of Yizhou, with only 8 fiefs, and Lee Tae is not only the secretariat of most states and Yuezhou, but also as many as 22 states!

Regardless of the quantity, the fief of Lee Tae is almost twice that of Li Ke. And Li Ke's fief Yizhou, that is, Chenchuan area, was definitely not a hot potato in the Tang Dynasty, and the statement of "Yang Yier" was comparable to that after the Anshi Rebellion. Sichuan has had natural disasters since ancient times, and the traffic in ancient times was underdeveloped. Think about it. When Li Yuan privately asked Emperor Taizong to change him into a prince, he said that he would change Li to Sichuan, because Sichuan was remote and convenient. If I can't do things for you, it's easy to get my ears. "It can be seen how Sichuan existed in people's hearts in the early Tang Dynasty. Needless to say, Yangzhou's wealth, not to mention the fiefs including Suzhou and Hangzhou.

Needless to say, Li Ke was appointed as the governor of Yizhou, instead of being the majority governor like Lee Tae. According to the records of the Tang Dynasty, most of the governors in Yizhou changed the word "big" on the 20th of the second year of Zhenguan, and it was not until the second year of Longshuo that they were upgraded from governors to most governors-just three months before Li Ke was blocked, Emperor Taizong downgraded Yizhou from most governors to governors. So, in May of the second year of Zhenguan, Li Ke and Lee Tae were blocked at the same time, but Li Ke was only blocked as the secretariat of Yizhou-not only Fan Weiyuan of the secretariat of Lee Tae was less than most of the secretariat of, but also the fief was nearly two-thirds less than that of Lee Tae.

Later, Li Ke spent 1 1 year in Zhenguan. However, because he stepped on crops while hunting, he was demoted from the secretariat of Anzhou to the secretariat of Anzhou, and 300 households were cut (only 800 households were actually sealed by the prince at that time). It seems that the fief is still in one place, but in fact the place it commands has been greatly eliminated. Because as a viceroy, Li Ke can "supervise the military affairs of An, Sui, Wen, Zhen and Fu Wuzhou", but as a secretariat, he can only command the land of Anzhou. Later, Li Ke was dismissed from office again for betting with his adoptive mother and son, and 300 households were cut down. Since then, Li Ke has been in Zhenguan for twenty-three years, totaling 12 years, and has never been reinstated. In addition to Li Ke, only Li Cheng, the younger brother who was denounced by Emperor Taizong as "a stone worse than an animal", enjoyed such severe punishment.

Although Emperor Taizong is the king of a country, when facing his beloved son, he can only find out how others love his son like ordinary people, which is what Emperor Taizong did.

So even if Li Chenggan committed such a big crime of rebellion, Emperor Taizong would try his best to save his life. Therefore, after Li Taihou failed to win the throne, Emperor Taizong still called him "my beloved son, who is loyal to his heart", and was even demoted for less than four years, and was promoted to King Pu again; So, although Li Zhi has been living with Emperor Taizong, how many times have Chu Suiliang and Liu Yue protested about this matter, and I haven't seen Emperor Taizong order Li Zhi to go out to live on the grounds of "special family affairs".

Li Chenggan, Lee Tae and Li Zhi, the spoiled sons, attracted courtiers from Wei Zhi again and again, but none of them were soft on the punishment and killing of Li Ke's sons. Emperor Taizong's partiality is really obvious.

However, Li Zhi, the prince alone, cannot completely reassure Emperor Taizong. After all, after the new emperor ascended the throne, his situation with his mother and brother was the most harmful. Sima You, King of Qi in the Western Jin Dynasty, Yang Xiu, Yong Yang in the Sui Dynasty, and others can learn from the past. So, just before he died, Emperor Taizong was still very strong and wouldn't let Lee Tae go back to Beijing to attend his funeral, so as not to be taken as an excuse to deal with it. Yue He even took his ordinary son, Li Ke, who was second only to Wang Jing, Li Yuanjing in the imperial clan, as a shield to divert everyone's attention-how much weight does the birthright of ordinary son have? Just look at the ordinary son Li.

"Tang Yao Hui volume ninety food impressions":

Wang Jing jing yuan. 2500 households. 9 years1October 8, Wude embarrassed.

Old Tang Book, Biography of the Great-ancestor Philosopher;

Wang Jing Yuan Jing ... at the beginning of Zhenguan, he moved to Yongzhou for grazing, and on the right was General Xiao Wei.

When Emperor Taizong ascended the throne, Li was only a few years old and made no contribution to the Tang Dynasty. As a result, Emperor Taizong gave him a super-high salary of 2,500 households (at that time, the prince sealed 600 to 800 households as usual), followed by General Mu Heyou. It's because his ordinary son, Prince Li, the number one imperial clan, is too eye-catching, and Emperor Taizong must be comforted.

It is also for this reason that after Tang Gaozong acceded to the throne, he further sealed the first two figures of Wang Jingli and Wu Wang Li Ke, namely Stuart and Sikong. Although the title of Sangong is only an empty position, it also symbolizes Tang Gaozong's comfort to the imperial clan.

So, when Princess Gaoyang and others rebelled in Yonghui for four years, why did you choose Li to take power? This is because he is the head of the imperial clan, and as an ordinary son of Tang Gaozu, it occupies a leading position in birthright. Otherwise, according to his distant relatives, even just looking at it, the princess of North Korea is the elder sister of the Fang family of Princess Gaoyang, and even more famous than Li in the imperial clan. Princess Gaoyang didn't notice Li Yuanjia. She was closely related to herself and had the name of a wise king. Instead, it directly pushed Li, the head of the imperial clan, to the stage, showing how nervous the birthright of ordinary sons is.

Of course, Tang Gaozong didn't live up to his father's painstaking decoration, so in the four years of Yonghui, there was such a scene: after the rebellion of Princess Gaoyang, Fang and others, the young new emperor Tang Gaozong Li Zhi simply beat around the bush and swept away the two heads of the imperial clan, Li and Li Ke. However, some people think that Wuji wants to get rid of Li Ke instead of. But we can know that Tang Gaozong is a real kingfisher.

Such a detail is recorded in Yuan Gui. Tang Gaozong once summoned Fang and scolded him: "As a relative of the royal family, why do you want to rebel?" Fang replied, "My behavior is damn, but please forgive my life in order to inform on Li Ke, the king of Wu." Hearing this, Tang Gaozong replied directly: "It's too late for you to report Li Ke now."

Even a few days after the death of Li Ke and others, Tang Gaozong divided the property of the conspirators into five piles and put them in Guande Temple, so that the princes and ministers held a shooting ceremony, and then gave the titles of Stuart and Sikong, which had just been vacated, to Xu Wang Li Yuanli (the highest imperial clan after the death of Li Yuanjing and Li Ke) and Li Ji, the founding father, to establish prestige for the imperial clan.

However, although Li Ke died unjustly, historians also called it "domestic violence", which seems to have a high evaluation, but in fact the so-called "domestic violence" is just the usual language of historians. For example, Ge Fuyuan's murder cases are all "domestic wrongs and wrongs", for example, Lv Chongdao's father and son were killed with a stick, which is also "universal wrongs and wrongs", for example, after Cui Ning was killed, "Chinese and foreign countries claimed their wrongs and wrongs", for example, the murder of An Brothers was "all wrongs and wrongs in the world", and for example, Li's conspiracy was also "all wrongs and wrongs in the world". And did people at that time really think that Li Ke was wronged? You and I can see the attitude of the Tang people towards this matter.

The epitaph of Xia Houxuan, the secretariat, when referring to the four-year rebellion of Yonghui, clearly wrote "Jing and Wu Rebellion", and thought that both Jing Wang Li and Wu Wang Li Ke were guilty of rebellion. This attitude is completely contrary to what historians have said. Moreover, it is worth mentioning that Xiahou Mao is Li Cheng, a long history, and Li Cheng is none other than Li Ke's half-brother. After Li Ke's rebellion was killed, Li Cheng was also abolished as Shu Ren. Therefore, according to Xia Houxuan's identity, when referring to the younger brother of the eldest brother who was framed for rebellion, he should be shouting for it, rather than speaking out about his "rebellion". Even people who should have interceded for Li Ke think that Li Ke is a rebellion. At that time, how many people thought that Li Ke was wronged can be imagined.

Although some descendants of historians risked their lives to earn sympathy points for Li Ke, they also said that he was a "relative, and both China and foreign countries were willing to do so". His death was "disappointing, but it was not the case from the historical facts."

Li Ke served as the highest administrative seat in Anzhou for more than ten years. As a result, after Li Ke was framed for rebellion, not to mention Xu and Hao, both from Anzhou, said nothing about it. Not to mention Peng Zhijun, a famous wealthy businessman in Anzhou, obviously had enough money to donate a lot of silk to the imperial army, but he didn't expect to intercede for his parents who were wronged at home or donate money to alleviate the crime. How many years later, no one in the DPRK wanted to ask the emperor to pardon Li Ke's exiled son and imprisoned daughter.

From the folk to the imperial court, no one made any demands on this "Chinese and foreign" and "wronged at home" prince, and no one drove Li Ke to Liangshan in the name of Li Ke. In the year when Li Ke was killed, there was a rebellious Chen Shuozhen among the people, but there was no mention of revenge for the unjust death of Prince Li Ke. After the death of Prince Li Xian of Zhang Huai, the flag of Li Xian was specially displayed in the army of Xu Jingye.

Seven years after Li Ke's death, during the fifth anniversary celebration, Tang Gaozong wanted to show his great kindness, so he ratified several masterminds of the rebellion case, such as Li Ke. Of course, it's just that the king of Yulin County has been given the title from Yipin, which is two grades lower than the original Prince Yipin, but at least there is a title that can be left to future generations. Only after Li Ke's death, his four sons were exiled to Lingnan, and his daughter was imprisoned to offer a tomb, so Li Rong, the grandson of Hejian County King Li, had nothing to do with Li Ke's incense and Hou Yijue of Yulin County, and inherited it.

Until another 24 years passed, in the first year of Guangzhai, Li Ke's eldest son, Li, met the Amnesty of Wu Zetian and finally returned to Beijing. At this moment, Li Rong was demoted for his crime, and all the respected imperial clan kings in Li Tang were killed. Only Li, who is short of talent and virtue and has a bad temper, has offered good fortune many times to avoid disaster. Therefore, as the eldest son of Li Ke, Li got the opportunity to inherit this theory.

Compared with the restoration of the royal family in Li Tang, when Tang Zhongzong brazenly pursued these royal families in the Dragon Period, he only gave Li Ke an ordinary title, and then reburied, but he was not buried with Zhaoling. As for whether Li Ke was reinstated as a prince, neither Old Tang Shu nor New Tang Shu recorded it. Moreover, Li Ke was the only one who didn't mention it because Li et al. had a clear record of "reinstating the official title", so when Ouyang Xiu mentioned Li Ke in New Tang Shu, he only called it "Yulin's" rather than "Wu's".
