There were two main reasons why Zhangsun Wuji disliked Li Chengqian. First of all, Zhangsun Wuji was Empress Zhangsun's elder brother. As an important official of the court, he had a very high status and influence in the court. He opposed Li Tai as the Crown Prince and insisted on Li Zhi as the Crown Prince. This was because he did not agree with Li Tai's succession, which meant that half of the officials in the court did not agree. Zhangsun Wuji's opinion was very important to Li Shiming. He couldn't ignore Zhangsun Wuji's objection. Secondly, the reason why Zhangsun Wuji supported Li Zhi and not Li Tai might be related to Li Chengqian's character and performance. According to the information provided, Li Chengqian had made some mistakes during the reign of Emperor Taizong, Li Shimin. He had not listened to the advice of the ministers, favored villains, and done some absurd things. Zhangsun Wuji might have been disappointed by Li Chengqian's actions and felt that he would not be a suitable emperor. In contrast, Li Zhi was described as a kind, kind, and filial person, which might make Zhangsun Wuji more inclined to support Li Zhi. To sum up, Zhangsun Wuji disliked Li Chengqian probably because he opposed Li Tai as the Crown Prince and was disappointed with Li Chengqian's character and performance.
Zhangsun Wuji and Li Chengqian were in-laws. Zhangsun Wuji was Li Chengqian's biological nephew because Zhangsun Wuji's son married Li Chengqian's Crown Prince's younger sister. In the early Zhenguan period, Zhangsun Wuji was loyal to the emperor and did not show any special relationship with any prince, so he was not implicated in Li Chengqian's rebellion.
Empress Zhangsun was the empress of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin, and also Li Chengqian's mother. She was the daughter of the Sui Dynasty's General Zhangsun Sheng and the younger sister of the Tang Dynasty's Prime Minister Zhangsun Wuji. Empress Zhangsun was chased out of the house after her father's death and was later adopted by her uncle. Uncle loved her very much and hoped that she would marry a good husband. Therefore, after Empress Zhangsun's father's funeral, her uncle betrothed her to Li Shimin. After Empress Zhangsun married Li Shimin, she had been well-behaved and helped Li Shimin achieve many things. After Li Shimin ascended the throne, he conferred Empress Zhangsun the title of Empress and treated her with great respect and love. Empress Zhangsun had strict requirements for Crown Prince Li Chengqian, hoping that he could establish virtue and spread a good reputation. As the crown prince, Li Chengqian was the center of attention, but he became absurd after he became an adult. He liked sensual pleasures and lived a luxurious life. In the end, Li Chengqian was deposed as a commoner for plotting a rebellion and was exiled to Qianzhou, where he died two years later.
Empress Zhangsun was the empress of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin, and Li Chengqian was their eldest son. Empress Zhangsun gave birth to three sons, namely Li Chengqian, Li Tai, and Tang Gaozong Li Zhi. Li Chengqian grew up under the favor of Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty and was made the crown prince. However, after Empress Zhangsun's death, Li Chengqian became absurd, indulged his own desires, and even rebelled. Finally, he was deposed. As for the specific situation of Empress Zhangsun and Li Chengqian, the search results did not provide a definite answer.
Li Shimin liked Li Chengqian. Li Shiming was very fond of Li Chengqian and had made him the Crown Prince from a young age. He had invited many great teachers to teach him and spared no effort in nurturing him, placing the future of the Great Tang on his shoulders. Li Chengqian was also very outstanding in his early years and was deeply loved by Li Shimin. Li Shimin attached great importance to Li Chengqian's education and sent Confucian masters Kong Yingda, Lu Deming, and others to teach him Confucian classics. Li Chengqian performed well in government affairs and handled state affairs in an orderly manner. He was trusted and loved by Li Shimin. However, as he grew older, Li Chengqian suffered from foot disease and became disheartened. He began to rebel and was eventually deposed as a commoner. Thus, although Li Shi Min liked Li Chengqian, due to some reasons, he eventually abolished Li Chengqian's position as Crown Prince.
