Carefree Prince In Tang Dynasty

Li Xin grew up in the palace as a child. After all, when Li Xuandao passed away, he was still young, so he couldn't leave him alone. Li Shimin took the initiative to take over the responsibility of raising him. Therefore, he has been living in the East Palace and has a very good relationship with Li Chengqian and Li Tai. He is a bit older than the two, so he has always been called "Brother Xin".

Originally, there were no other problems except that there were a little more rules in the palace. Generally speaking, it was quite comfortable. However, the good times didn't last long.

With Li Yuan's death and Li Shimin's succession, Li Xin's position became more and more embarrassing.

He is just too special.

He is the eldest son of Li Xuandao, and Li Xuandao is the eldest son of Li Yuan. In other words, from a certain level, he is also one of the potential heirs to the throne.

You know, for a dynasty, the most important thing is not only who is the current emperor, but also who is the next emperor, that is, the prince.

As the saying goes, where there are people, there will be struggle. This is especially true above the court. Everyone will hope that they can have a good relationship with the emperor-not only the current emperor, but also the next emperor. What is the easiest way to achieve this goal? Just to have a good relationship with the prince.

First of all, the prince is the imperial heir to the throne. To be able to have a good relationship with him is naturally to have a good relationship with the future emperor. Maybe in the future, he will be able to gain some important position, become the "pillar of the country" in the prince's mind, and entrust him with important tasks after he ascends the throne, and become the political base. This is why emperors like to let their valued courtiers be the prince's teachers.

Secondly, being able to inherit the position of prince proves that this child has won the heart of the emperor. Then, if you can build a good relationship with this child and show your appreciation for this child everywhere, the emperor will think that you have a good vision, and may also think that your character is good, your ability is good, etc. .

In a word: When the person you admire is also admired by you, this person will have a certain affection for you.

Therefore, the ministers of the DPRK and China seem to be loyal to the emperor, but they will have other ideas more or less. Because of this, in history, whenever there are some incidents of contention for the throne, the government will be turbulent. Obviously, if everyone only thinks about the living emperor in front of them, then who is the crown prince and what does it matter to them? What about the relationship?

Of course, human nature has weaknesses after all. It is not particularly incomprehensible to think about the future and future generations earlier. The emperors didn't bother to care about these small thoughts. Almost all emperors will confirm the status of prince as soon as possible after ascending the throne. However, Li Shimin did not at that time.

Frankly speaking, Li Shimin was hesitating about one thing at that time: who should be the crown prince? Give it to his son Li Chengqian, or return it to his eldest brother's son Li Xin.

Human nature has weaknesses. Once something like the throne is in the hands, it is a bit difficult for others to give it away. Everyone is the same, except Li Xuandao, a freak.

If, at that time, Li Xuandao had left an explanation about the crown prince, then Li Shimin might have followed his ideas. However, after all, he didn't give any explanation, just lost the throne to Li Shimin like throwing away something he didn't want.
