Extended information:
Historically, the two princes, Prince Li Chengqian and King Wei Li Tai, were the legitimate sons of the Empress Changsun, and brothers from the same mother. It stands to reason that brothers of the same mother should love each other. However, in order to get the throne, the two princes fought against each other in various ways. In the end, they ended up "fighting between snipe and clam", which made Li Zhi, a "fisherman", gain the advantage.
When he was young, Li Chengqian was also a "cute" who was loved and cherished. According to historical records, Qian was "smart in nature", "specially sensitive", "generous in appearance, benevolent and filial", which means that he was smart, well-behaved, cute, kind and filial, and was deeply loved by Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty.
When he was eight years old, he was established as a prince, and from then on he lived a life of being under the spotlight of one person and above ten thousand people. Li Chengqian, who became the prince, helped Taizong handle family and state affairs. He grasped the general outline and took appropriate measures, which was highly praised by the courtiers.
However, as the prince grew up, he began to enter the "rebellious period". When Taizong came to the court, Li Chengqian was still respectful, very measured, and full of loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness. However, as soon as he returned to his East Palace, he immediately went to eat, drink, gamble, molest children and pick up girls, and did everything he wanted.
He also dotes on the handsome man who is "beautiful, good at singing and dancing" and is always happy to please others. When Taizong learned about it, he was furious and had Cheng Xin executed. When Cheng Qian heard that his father had killed his "good friend", he was sad and angry. From then on, there was a gap between Li Cheng Qian and his father.
This gave Wei King Li Tai, who had always coveted the throne, an opportunity. Li Tai was already favored by his father. According to historical records, Li Tai was "unparalleled in intelligence", elegant in literature, skilled in calligraphy and calligraphy, and had collected tens of thousands of books. He was a connoisseur of calligraphy and painting at that time.
He gathered literati and spent four years compiling a "Kuo Di Zhi". Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty was very happy. As if he had found a treasure, he not only kept this work in the royal library secret palace, but also Li Tai was rewarded lavishly one after another.
Li Chengqian, who had a premonition that his position as prince was not guaranteed, went to an extreme. First, he assassinated his younger brother Li Tai. After the failure, he colluded with Han King Li Yuanchang, Princess Chengyang's consort Du He, Hou Junji and others to plan to attack the palace first. However, it was revealed that he was demoted to a commoner and exiled to Guizhou. Zhou, finally died in depression.
