In the Zhenguan Song, Li Shimin's Shu Fei was one of his favorite concubines. In the drama, when the Jie Li army was about to take Chang 'an, Li Shimin would rather let Consort Shu be poisoned to death than let her fall into the enemy's hands and be humiliated. Thus, he ordered the imperial physician to add poison to Shu Fei's medicine. Regarding Consort Shu's identity and the development of the plot, there were some different descriptions and explanations in the play. Some of the audience believed that Empress Zhangsun had killed Consort Shu, while others believed that Li Shimin had killed her himself. However, based on the information provided, it was impossible to determine Consort Shu's specific identity and the cause of her death.

The specific episodes of Zhenguan Longsong Li Shimin being besieged in Mayi were not mentioned in the search results provided, so it was impossible to determine.

Li Shimin's fief was in the Guanzhong Plain in the west of Shaanxi Province, which was called Qin in ancient times. His title was Duke of Qin, and later, when he was conferred the title of King, he was called the King of Qin. The specific name and location of the fief was not mentioned.

There were several reasons why Li Shimin did not go to Mount Tai. First of all, Li Shimin's idea of governing the country was based on the people and focused on practical results, not form. He was more concerned about the stability of the country and the well-being of the people than the Fengshan ceremony. Secondly, the country under Li Shimin's rule was in the recovery stage after the war. Shandong also experienced war, and the economy and people's lives were facing difficulties. Carrying out the Fengshan ceremony required a lot of manpower and material resources, which might increase the burden on the country and the people. Therefore, Li Shimin considered this point and did not carry out the Fengshan ceremony. In addition, Li Shimin himself had some health problems. He might be worried that climbing Mount Tai would cause a relapse. In summary, Li Shimin did not go to Mount Tai for the sake of governing the country, the state of the country, and personal health.

In general, Li Shimin laid a solid foundation for the prosperity and prosperity of the Tang Dynasty with his outstanding military skills and open-minded ideas of governing the country.

Li Shimin was conferred the title of King of Qin because most of his fief was located in the original Qin State. Li Yuan made Li Shimin the king of Qin to give him the greatest benefits, so that he could manage the Guanzhong and Longyou areas in peace and protect the royal family of the Tang Dynasty. Li Shimin was given the title of General of Heavenly Strategy because of his outstanding performance in the battle to pacify Liu Heita. He used this title to consolidate his power. As for Li Shimin's repeated changes to his brother's posthumous title, it was because the posthumous title proposed by the ministers did not conform to Li Shimin's wishes.
