What is the relationship between Li Jiancheng's wife and Li Shimin?

Li Shimin had given Li Jiancheng two titles. In the second year of Zhenguan, Li Shimin pursued Li Jiancheng as King of Xi and changed his burial. At the same time, Li Shimin also made Li Jiancheng the hidden crown prince. These actions could be interpreted from two aspects. First of all, Li Jiancheng's posthumous title could clear Li Shimin's name, making his process of seizing the throne more reasonable and legal. Secondly, Li Jiancheng's promotion was also to stabilize the internal situation and ease the conflict with the original Eastern Palace and King Qi's Mansion. This would help stabilize the court and eliminate the negative influence of killing brothers. Li Shimin's act of enfeoffment showed his tolerance and wisdom as an emperor, and at the same time provided important thoughts about power, family, and morality for future generations.

We can see how Li Shimin treated Li Jiancheng's concubines. Li Shimin adopted a different attitude towards Li Jiancheng's concubines after the incident at Xuanwu Gate. Li Jiancheng's Crown Princess Zheng Guanyin was moved to another residence, while Li Yuanji's Princess Yang became Li Shimin's concubine and gave birth to Prince Li Ming. Zheng Guanyin died in 676 at the age of 78. Li Shimin mourned her deeply and buried her with a grand ceremony. Yang died of illness in 647, and her posthumous title was still Princess Chao. It could be seen that Li Shimin treated Li Jiancheng's concubines differently. He respected and remembered Zheng Guanyin more, while he gave favor and special treatment to the Yang family.

Li Shimin's method of dealing with Li Jiancheng was to 'cut the weeds and remove the roots' and execute Li Jiancheng and his family. After the incident at Xuanwu Gate, Li Shi Min had clashed with the Crown Prince and King Qi's armies, and both sides had engaged in a fierce battle. At the critical moment, Yuchi Gong carried Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji's heads to the Crown Prince and King Qi's army, causing their morale to collapse. After that, Li Shi Min's army entered the Crown Prince's Residence and the Qi King's Residence and took control of them. Li Shimin's order was to 'eradicate the weeds and uproot the roots'. He dragged out all the families of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji and executed them. In addition, Li Shimin also executed Li Jiancheng's six sons and Li Yuanji's five sons. This practice had attracted criticism from later generations and was seen as a big "stain" in his life. Therefore, Li Shimin took extreme measures against Li Jiancheng and executed him and his family.

Yes, Li Shimin had shot Li Jiancheng with his own hands.

Li Yuan's attitude towards Li Shiming and Li Jiancheng was complicated and subtle. In the process of overthrowing the Sui Dynasty, Li Yuan valued Li Jiancheng very much and gave him more military power. However, he later weakened Li Shimin's power and supported Li Jiancheng. However, when Li Jiancheng gained the upper hand, Li Yuan would suppress him again and support Li Shimin again. This capricious attitude caused Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng to be dissatisfied with Li Yuan. The relationship between the two brothers gradually drifted apart and was filled with mutual suspicion. In addition, Li Yuan's attitude towards Li Shimin was also that power came first. He believed in Li Shimin's military ability, so he could control the army without worry in the war. In general, Li Yuan's attitude towards Li Shiming and Li Jiancheng was complicated and changing. There was respect and love, but also suppression and suspicion.

The relationship between Li Shimin and Li Longji was that of grandfather and grandson. Li Shimin was Li Longji's great-grandfather. Li Shimin was the father of Li Zhi, Emperor Gaozong of Tang Dynasty, and Li Zhi was the father of Li Longji. Therefore, Li Shimin was Li Longji's grandfather, and Li Longji was Li Shimin's grandson. The relationship between them was of great significance in the Tang Dynasty's inheritance and family glory.

Li Chengqian was the eldest son of Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty. Li Shimin ascended the throne after the incident at Xuanwu Gate and appointed Li Chengqian as the Crown Prince. He hoped that Li Chengqian would become a good Emperor and ensure the stability of the Li family. Li Shimin had poured a lot of effort and resources into cultivating Li Chengqian, and he attached great importance to his education. However, Li Chengqian's fate was far from satisfactory. He was deposed as Crown Prince and executed, probably because of his plot against Hou Junji. Li Chengqian's destiny was full of trickery and tragedy.

Li Chengqian was the eldest son of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin. He was appointed as the crown prince and was highly anticipated and nurtured. Li Shimin had conflicting trust in Li Chengqian. As a father, he loved and trusted Li Chengqian very much, but as a monarch and minister, he was worried that he might do something disloyal. However, the specific information about the interaction and relationship between Li Chengqian and Li Shimin was not clear.

Li Maozhen and Li Shimin were not directly related. Li Maozhen was a warlord from the end of the Tang Dynasty to the Five Dynasties, while Li Shimin was Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty. The time and place of the two were different, and there was no clear relationship between them. Therefore, Li Maozhen and Li Shimin were not related.

The relationship between Li Zhenzong and Li Shimin was that of an imperial uncle and nephew. Li Zhenzong was Li Shiming's imperial uncle, and Li Shiming was Li Zhenzong's nephew.
