There were several reasons why Li Shimin conferred Li Chengqian the title of Crown Prince. First of all, Li Chengqian had displayed intelligence and outstanding qualities at a young age, and was considered a favored son of heaven. Li Shiming valued his talent and potential, and he hoped that he could inherit the Great Tang and become the future Emperor. Secondly, Li Shimin liked Li Chengqian very much. He had praised him many times in front of the ministers and had high hopes for him. Li Shimin also let Li Chengqian supervise the country when he was out, helping him accumulate experience in governing the country. In addition, Li Shimin also arranged for a group of civil and military officials to study for Li Chengqian, and personally organized his education, so that he could learn Confucianism and military affairs. These actions showed that Li Shimin regarded Li Chengqian as his successor and hoped that he could inherit the throne and lead the Tang Dynasty to prosperity. Thus, Li Shi Min decided to confer Li Chengqian the title of Crown Prince out of recognition of his talent and character, as well as his expectations for his future.
The reason why Li Shimin deposed Li Chengqian was because Li Chengqian was planning a rebellion. Although Li Chengqian's rebellion was only in the planning stage and had not been implemented, Li Shimin was worried that Li Chengqian would be involved after learning that his son Li You was plotting. During the trial of Li You's rebellion, the investigation found that Prince Li Chengqian knew and was ready to participate in the rebellion. In addition, Li Shimin was also worried that Li Chengqian and his concept of governing the country were inconsistent, and the two of them would easily cause disputes. Therefore, Li Shimin chose to abolish Li Chengqian's position as Crown Prince and pass the throne to Li Zhi. Li Shi Min believed that although Li Zhi looked like a loser on the surface, he was actually pretending to be incompetent in order to save his life. This was the only way he could survive under the tiger's mouth. Li Shimin believed that only by choosing Li Zhi could the stability of the royal family be guaranteed. In short, the reason why Li Shimin deposed Prince Li Chengqian was because he planned to rebel and had a relationship with Li You, as well as his different views on governing the country with Li Shimin.
Li Shimin and Li Chengqian were father and son during the Tang Dynasty. Li Shimin was Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, and Li Chengqian was his eldest son. Li Shimin had placed great expectations on Li Chengqian and began to cultivate his talent and education when he was young. Li Chengqian had shown outstanding talent when he was young and was conferred the title of Crown Prince. He was also given special attention and love by his father. However, as time passed, Li Chengqian's behavior gradually became absurd and unruly. He indulged his interests and energy, liked hunting, and enjoyed a luxurious life. This caused Li Shimin to lose confidence in him and eventually abolished his position as Crown Prince. Li Chengqian even tried to launch a rebellion but failed. As for their specific ending and subsequent developments, the information given so far was not enough to give a clear 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.
Li Shi Min doted on Li Chengqian very much. Li Shiming's love for Li Chengqian had exceeded the normal limits, and even shocked the officials in the court. Li Shi Min ordered Li Tai to move to Martial Virtue Hall, which made the ministers feel uneasy. However, whether Li Shimin's special love for Li Chengqian was purely because he was a father's preference for his son, or because of Yuan Xiangshi's criticism, we cannot be sure. However, Li Shiming's love had spoiled Li Chengqian to a certain extent, which might have a certain negative impact on his growth. In general, Li Shimin was good to Li Chengqian, but whether he was overly fond of him required further observation and analysis.
There were many reasons for Li Chengqian's rebellion. First of all, his dissatisfaction and fear towards Li Shiming was the direct reason. He was dissatisfied with Li Shiming for executing his pet boy and others, and also dissatisfied with Li Shiming's teachings and discipline. He was afraid that Li Shi Min would depose him or let his brother Li Tai inherit the throne. Secondly, Li Chengqian's personality and mentality had changed. From a clever, cute, and filial crown prince, he had become a dissolute, wanton, and delusional traitor. In addition, he felt pressured and uneasy about his position as Crown Prince, worried that he would not be able to become Emperor. These factors together prompted him to decide to rebel and attempt to seize the throne.
The time-travel novel, Li Shimin, told the story of the protagonist Yang Hua and Empress Zhangsun. Yang Hua was a lowly person, but he met Empress Zhangsun by chance. For some reason, Yang Hua had humiliated Empress Zhangsun. When Li Shi Min learned of this, he was furious and swore to exterminate Yang Hua's entire family. However, Yang Hua had a system that could compete with Li Shimin. The plot of the novel was full of tension and conflict.
The plot of Li Shimin and Li Chengqian's rebirth was described in several novels, including " The Reckless Prince of the Tang Dynasty, Li Chengqian " and " The Reborn Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Chengqian ".
