Lee Tae is a robin in Li Shimin and Li Shimin's favorite son. Although Lee Tae, Li Chenggan and Li Zhi are the sons of Li Shimin and his eldest grandson, uncle Sun Chang Wuji finally recommended Li Zhi as the prince. So, why did Wang dare to compete with his brother Li Chenggan for the crown prince? This is because of Li Shimin's favor and the precedent of Li Shimin's Xuanwu change. What was the final result of Lee Tae's expulsion?
A brief introduction to Mrs. Wang's life
Lee Tae, whose real name is Bao Hui and Qingque, is the second son of Li Shimin and his eldest grandson, the fourth son of Li Shimin and Li Shimin's favorite son. Arguably, the prince can't go to the palace fief as an adult, but because of Li Shimin's preference, Lee Tae didn't go to the fief and has been working hard at Li Shimin's knees.
Wang Dongfang's version of Lee Tae
Lee Tae is a brilliant prince, extremely clever. When he was born, he was named Yidu King by his grandfather Li Yuan, and was named Wang Wei the following year. According to the status of the second son of Li Shimin, the king of Qin at that time, his title was the highest, but he became Wang Wei (second only to Li Yuanba). Later, at the age of 9, it was renamed as many as 22 states in the name of King Yue, which shows how favored Lee Tae was at that time. Lee Tae was a calligrapher and connoisseur of calligraphy and painting at that time. He was deeply loved by Li Shimin, so he set up a literature museum at home and invited his bachelors. Therefore, in 638, Lee Tae began to compile the Book of Parentheses, which became a large-scale geographical work in the Tang Dynasty and preserved precious geographical information since the Six Dynasties.
Li Shimin's love for Lee Tae disappeared for a day. According to historical records, Li Tai was too fat. Li Shimin was worried that it would be very hard for Lee Tae to go to court, so he chartered Lee Tae to be a sedan chair, which was unprecedented. Lee Tae and Wang Wei became famous all over the world. At that time, people were not allowed to speak ill of Lee Tae, and even historians lamented that "his pet was different". But it was this love that finally led to the dispute between Li Chenggan and Prince Lee Tae.
How did Wang die?
Wang Wei and Lee Tae did not die in the battle for the prince, because Li Shimin would never let his beloved son kill each other, so he wanted to make Lee Tae a prince after abolishing his beloved son Li Chenggan (Li Chenggan was abolished because of rebellion and should have been put to death, but Li Shimin could not bear to part with him). After endless persuasion, he finally made Li a prince, and three beloved sons were born.
Lee Tae and Li Chenggan were both deposed, Lee Tae was reduced from Wang Wei to the king of Donglai County, and Li Chenggan was deposed as Shu Ren and moved to Ganzhou. Four years after Lee Tae was demoted, Li Shimin was renamed King Pu in 647. Later, Li Shimin died in the palace, and Li Zhi acceded to the throne. Lee Tae's life has not changed because of this, and Li Zhi still treats his younger brother well. Until 652, when Lee Tae died, Li Zhi was very sad about his brother's death and mourned for Lee Tae with the highest funeral scale. It is said that Lee Tae's tomb has been stolen many times, but there are still a large number of luxurious funerary objects among the cultural relics unearthed in 1985.
Lee Tae, as the second son of Li Shimin, got wind and rain, and his position was no less than that of his brother Li Chenggan, and he was loved as much as his brother Li Zhi. But in the end, because of Li Shimin's love, Lee Tae misjudged himself and embarked on a road of no return. In fact, the main responsibility for the conflict between Lee Tae and his eldest brother Li Chenggan lies with Li Shimin, because Li Shimin has given Li Tai the illusion that he can make his elder brother become like Li Shimin.
