Where did Li Yuan’s forbidden army go during the Xuanwu Gate Incident? Interested readers and history encyclopedia editors, let’s take a look together!
Li Yuan’s forbidden army has always been there, but it is not something that can be easily mobilized and commanded by a single person. In most cases, they only listen to the call of one person, who is called Li Yuan. At this time, Li Yuan has already been locked up in a small black house.
Event Review
We will find that whether it is the Xuanwu Gate Incident or some Western coups, these coups often have the biggest advantage of not shedding blood or sacrificing.
What does that mean? Simply put, this kind of coup often results in a very small number of casualties, and can quickly turn the world upside down, giving the world a big turning point that no one could have predicted.
Let’s first take a look at Li Shimin’s demands during the Xuanwu Gate Incident.
In fact, the historical documents of the Xuanwu Gate Incident, when combined, have a record that is almost as high as a building. But here we don’t need it, there are only two points. Let’s summarize them:
Li Shimin’s first task is to eliminate Li Jiancheng, who poses the greatest threat to himself; The second thing Li Shimin needs to do is to control his father.
Okay, so Li Shimin started preparing according to his two demands. First, all the soldiers above Xuanwu Gate should be killed and chopped down, and replaced with his own people. Secondly, Li Yuan must have 1-2 of his own people around him, so Li Shimin sent several ministers to talk and chat with Li Yuan on that day.
Immediately after the Xuanwu Gate coup began, Li Jiancheng died, and Li Yuan had no intention of attacking the Imperial Guard or even thought about it. By the time he was under the control of the ministers around him who talked about it.
That’s right, that’s the truth.
The reason why the Xuanwu Gate coup seems very simple is because Li Shimin made a triple mistake in preparation.
What are the three types of preparation?
The first point is that Li Shimin has gained recognition from the local military forces through his own abilities.
Secondly, Li Shimin arranged many of his own people around Li Jiancheng and Li Yuan through his own connections.
The third point is that Li Shimin has his own small combat unit, and this small combat unit is absolutely loyal to Li Shimin.
After all three preparations were made simultaneously, the Xuanwu Gate Incident seemed to have been completed just by blowing dust, and even if Li Yuan wanted to kill Li Shimin, he would definitely not be able to do so.
Why? Because Li Yuan no longer had children, in the situation at that time, except for Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin who appeared to have a little bit of an emperor on the surface, the vast majority of the rest were either mentally ill, too young, or careless. If Li Shimin were to be taken down again, it would be unknown whose hands the prosperous Tang Dynasty would fall into after his death.
