Perhaps because of the influence of film and television dramas, Li Ke, who has always played the tragic character, has become the best candidate for the prince in the minds of many fans. In fact, from the real situation, except for the birth of Empress Changsun or the few raised by herself, the other children are a bit like stepmothers in Li Shimin's eyes, and the treatment is really quite different.

This starts with Li Ke's biological mother. Some people agree with this person, or think that he missed the throne because he was born in the blood of the royal family of two dynasties, which naturally made him extremely noble. However, he was worried that after he came to power, the Tang Dynasty would become the Great Sui Dynasty and failed to successfully take office.

In fact, this is a bit overestimating the power of his bloodline. Let’s talk about his mother, although she is also the princess of the Sui Dynasty, she has not passed down her title. It can be seen that this is probably not a very favored princess, otherwise she would not have been left in Chang'an when the emperor was on tour, and then Li Tang took over.

Moreover, during his lifetime, Concubine Yang seemed to be one of the four virtuous and kind concubines. Her treatment was even worse than that of Concubine Yin, the daughter of Li Tang's enemy, which shows that her status in the harem may not be very high.

In this case, as one of the concubines, Li Ke could foresee how much attention Li Ke could receive. The existence of their mother and son was probably more effective, which was to give some psychological comfort to the old ministers of the Sui Dynasty.

He was already arranged to take office in the fiefdom a few years ago, but according to later records, Li Tai and Li Zhi were always stranded by Li Shimin's side and never went far away.

After Empress Changsun died of illness, Li Zhi was even raised by Li Shimin. Even after he established the prince, he was reluctant to let him move into the East Palace. What kind of favor is this? How formulaic is Li Ke? The different treatment is too obvious.

The rewards given to Li Chengqian and his three brothers often exceed the standard, so that Wei Zheng and others often have to submit a memorandum to complain, but when they arrive at Li Ke, they will be exempted from being arrogant and extravagant.

There are many records about Li Shimin's excessive pampering of the three sons born by Empress Changsun. However, there are no specific examples of his pampering for Li Ke, which shows that this person's position in Li Shimin's heart is just that.

Moreover, this difference can be seen from their private communication. Most of the letters Li Shimin wrote to Li Ke were admonished, and the whole article taught him not to do serious business, hunt less, and waste the crops of his farmers. Anyway, I feel that the warmth is less, mostly written language, and more like a reflection of the relationship between the king and the minister.

However, there is a very famous example of the letter to Li Zhi called "The Second Post". The content of the previous content is too stingy, so I won't say it. Just the last sentence, "I want to die, I don't know what to do to return, I'm sorry, yes, yes, yes, yes." The general meaning is "I miss you so much that I want to die, I don't know when I can go back, that's all I have to say. Dad, yes."

The deep father-son relationship reflected in this is definitely not comparable to those formulated written language. It can also be seen that in terms of distance, closeness, there is a difference between the biological and the stepmother.

Of course, many people think that compared to Li Zhi, who is just a little bit "benevolent and filial", Li Ke is at least very talented. Unfortunately, as recorded in historical books, it seems that he only has the advantage of being "good at ejaculation".

But this thing seems to be a must-have for the children of the Guanlong noble group. There are no highlights in other aspects of civil and military skills that can be recorded by the historians. It can be seen that his abilities should not be considered very outstanding.

However, there are many records about him not making big mistakes and small mistakes. It is not as good as his younger brother Li Yan, who was regarded as "better than beasts" by Li Shimin. This may also be his own way of protecting himself and his own essence.

Unfortunately, his efforts failed in the end. Just because Li Shimin mentioned it, he was sad.

Even Shi Lei was a little bit ignorant, was this person Li Shimin specially launched for his youngest son Li Zhiliwei? Even though he knew that his eldest brother-in-law Changsun Wuji was a famously petty guy, he still only mentioned this smiling tiger and had the idea of ​​making Li Ke the crown prince.

But Changsun Wuji just objected lightly, and didn't even talk about his blood. Li Shimin then changed his words. This proposal was a bit too careless, and it was more like a mention of Changsun Wuji.

Moreover, for his two sons, Li Chengqian and Li Tai can survive well. Li Shimin tried every means to protect their conscience, so that Li Zhi, who seemed soft and cowardly, came to power, was a insurance level. Changsun Wuji, the life-care minister, also had a first level, and there were many other arrangements.

The two sons were indeed not killed in the end, but their pride made them unable to bear their later state.

But when he arrived at Li Ke, he was finished and didn't leave any tricks for him. Then he was indeed dealt with by Changsun Wuji. The shock effect was still very strong. After all, he raised his position a lot first, and then killed him on the charge of rebellion. Such a top figure in the royal family can be killed, so how dare others rebel casually?

So Shi Lei always felt that this unlucky Li Ke was a poor person who was praised and killed, and was used to help Li Zhi, who had just come to power.

Of course, whenever I think of these things, Shi Lei could not help but complain about Li Zhi's so-called "benevolence and filial piety". This "filial piety" would not be said. Kill Changsun Wuji, his uncle, and slept with his wife Wu Zetian. It was obvious that she was still filial to Li Shimin and was in love with love when she ran to the nunnery.

Is the so-called kindness? Is it true that the little tears she shed when killing Li Ke? Can you not kill me? Even if you can't beat Changsun Wuji, who was extremely powerful at that time, you can always save Li Ke's children, so that you won't wait until you knocked down Changsun Wuji, and you will still let your nephew and niece suffer in the mountains and corners, without mentioning the matter of restoring their lives.

If killing Changsun Wuji cannot be considered to be not kind enough, but only for political needs, then what if the queen who shared honor and disgrace with him is abolished? Besides, for the so-called political needs, everyone can sacrifice, which means that he is frustrated.

Anyway, because of his performance, Shi Lei is definitely not willing to mess with such a person. Who knows if he will take the throne firmly, he will take him backhandedly.

Shi Lei couldn't help but run away again. He quickly took back his thoughts and looked at Li Chengqian who was walking happily in front of him. He was really satisfied no matter how he looked at it.

Especially after having a good conversation with Li Chengqian, Shi Lei was even more satisfied. This person is really practicing hard, and his level is not worse than the elite guards around him.

Of course, this only refers to bare hands fighting, and it is not a matter of life-and-death struggle. After all, his practical experience is still a little poor, and these trusted guards still expect him to have a future. Anyone who dares to really fight him? If something really goes wrong, their whole family will not have enough brains to cut.

However, in Shi Lei's opinion, it is already very good. At least he has a certain degree of self-protection. Li Chengqian is more about strengthening his body and cultivating his willful quality.

These warriors around him are not dead. Learning to use talents is what he really should be good at. If he had to fight with others himself, he would probably end up being the prince.

"Shitou, I'm short of staff recently. It's suitable for being a civil servant. It would be better if I could have the talent of a prime minister. Do you have any recommendations?" After cleaning up and sitting down in the living room, Li Chengqian asked Shi Lei sincerely.

Shi Lei glanced at the Ananda General Manager and Xue Rengui next to him. This problem really stumped him... Friends reading books, you can search for "" and find this site as soon as possible.
