It was late at night, and the East Palace was still holding lights because Li Shimin had not yet rested.

He had inherited the throne and should have lived in Tai Chi Palace according to principles. However, because his father Li Yuan did not mention the removal, Li Shimin did not dare to say anything, so he had to stay in the East Palace. All the matters were handled in the East Palace.

There is actually a reason why Li Shimin was so patient. Although Li Shimin killed his brother and usurped his throne and seemed to have no relatives to recognize his father Li Yuan. In addition to the father-son relationship, Li Yuan's influence in the court also made Li Shimin very afraid.

Because Li Shimin's halo was too dazzling, most of the evaluations of Li Yuan were unfair, whether it was film and television works or novels in later generations. In fact, although Li Yuan's great talent and strategy were not as good as Li Shimin, it was not much different. Just imagine, how could it be possible to unify the world when the heroes emerged at the end of the Sui Dynasty? Later generations attributed the contributions of the Li family to Li Shimin, but don't forget that when Li Shimin followed Li Yuan to fight, he was only seventeen or eighteen years old. He could never be the one who made the strategy. There were naturally some credits, but it was not enough to determine the general trend of the world.

Li Yuan is a man of both civil and military. When he was young, Li Yuan was fond of martial arts and was especially good at shooting arrows, and he was always good at shooting arrows. There is an idiom called "Cho Ping Zhongxuan", which means that Li Yuan shot a peacock's eyes on the screen with an arrow a hundred meters away, which won the favor of the noble daughter Dou family, Li Shimin's mother. Li Yuan also has a record. Looking at the five thousand years of history, Li Yuan was the fastest person to unify China among the founding emperors. Li Yuan's military talent is not reflected in how brave he was on the battlefield, but in his overall coordination and dispatch. When the Tang Dynasty established a country to fight and wipe out heroes, it was precisely because of his central dispatch and quick support that he could win every battle and conquer a powerful enemy.

During the Xuanwu Gate Incident, Li Shimin killed two brothers and eliminated all those who threatened his throne. As a result, Li Yuan did not pass it on, he had to pass it on, because no one could pass it on. Tiance Mansion was in great power. After Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji died, no other descendants of Li Yuan could compete with Li Shimin. Even if Li Yuan insisted on passing the throne to others, they would eventually be taken away by Li Shimin. But this does not mean that after the Xuanwu Gate Incident, Li Shimin could force Li Yuan to abdicate without scrupulously. He did not have that ability at the time. The Xuanwu Gate Incident was a desperate move by Li Shimin. There were not many people who responded at the beginning, and it was Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and others who were good.

After some lobbying, it was finally implemented. The ministers in the court at that time were all Li Yuan's ministers. If he firmly refused to recognize Li Shimin, Li Shimin would not be able to do so. This is true. After the Xuanwu Gate Incident, Li Shimin only sought the position of prince and did not dare to abdicate at all. He often entered the Tai Chi Palace to see Li Yuan, and said that the reason for his unsuccessful love was revealed. When he talked about his emotions, he often cried and fainted. Seeing this situation, Li Yuan knew that what Li Shimin said was true. If he had not forced him into a hurry, he would not have dared to take such a great risk. Moreover, his second son was dead and could not be resurrected. He thought about all kinds of pasts and felt discouraged. In this case, he proposed to abdicate.

At first, Li Shimin did not dare to take it. His position as the prince was originally from the wrong way, and he forced Li Yuan to abdicate. He was worried that he would not be able to remove the stigma in history. But his repeated refusal made Li Yuan disgusted. You have committed the murder of your brother and killed your brother, and you still want to leave a good reputation in history? No, you must not let you do it. So an absurd scene happened. Li Shimin refused to accept it, and Li Yuan had to abdicate. In the end, Li Yuan simply threw the emperor's crown on the ground. Li Shimin could not refuse and had to inherit the throne. But from then on, the settlement between the father and son was settled.

Li Yuan began to make trouble for Li Shimin in different ways. The emperor should live in Tai Chi Palace, right? I won’t move away. I will see if you dare to say anything! Years of war and people’s livelihood are withering, right? I insist on being extremely cruel and extravagant. The food and clothing cost has increased year by year, and it is not twice twice, but ten times more than ten times. It is ten times twenty times. Thinking of lychees today, I have to eat them tomorrow, no matter how many horses you will die on the way? The emperor’s three-year selection is performed, and he will perform once a year. The Supreme Princess in Tai Chi Palace is even about the same age as Li Shimin’s daughter. His words and actions are already unbearable.

It's okay to be happy. If there is any dissatisfaction, Li Shimin will be called to defame. Li Shimin didn't dare to say anything bad, and he was scolded so badly that he often threw himself into Empress Changsun's arms and cried bitterly.

Even the emperor could not bear it. Li Shimin was a wise monarch who would not harm the public for personal gain. All Li Yuan's expenses were the responsibility of the treasury in the palace. As Li Yuan's expenses became increasingly large, Li Shimin had to start "save food and food". The monthly rates of the concubines in the palace were reduced, and all the remaining money was given to Li Yuan and squandered.

But even if he was so short of money, Li Shimin never stings with his ministers. This time, he had really gained a lot of profit from the Turkic nobles. Logically speaking, Li Shimin collected almost all of them into the treasury, and no one would say anything. But he didn't ask for a single document, and he rewarded the meritorious people according to the size of the merits. From this, it can be seen that Li Shimin's mind is indeed worthy of the title of "Tian Khan".

There are two shadows under the light, besides Li Shimin, there is one person. There are far and near between the monarch and ministers. It was midnight, and the only one who could stay with Li Shimin without avoiding suspicion was Zhao Duke Changsun Wuji. Before the Xuanwu Gate incident, Li Shimin was joined by Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, and he had already reached a desperate situation. The old generals of the Qin Palace were also separated. Even Fang Xuanling left, only Changsun Wuji stood firmly next to Li Shimin, giving him advice and running around. Not only that, Changsun Wuji was also Li Shimin's brother-in-law, and his sister was Li Shimin's Changsun Empress. The two met a young man and were friends of common people. Therefore, after Li Shimin ascended the throne, no matter what official or position Changsun Wuji was, he was the recognized first person in the court, and no one dared to deny it.

Today, Changsun Wuji came, and there was nothing serious about it. He just accompanied Li Shimin to read the memorial. Before the war was over, there were many more memorials than when there was nothing. Li Shimin couldn't stand it alone, so he called Changsun Wuji and showed him half of it. This shows how honored and favored him.
