Is Li Shimin handsome?

[Li Chengqian had offended 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.

The reason why Li Shi Min was able to win every battle was not only because of his military commanding ability, but also because he had a powerful trump card army. This army had a total of 3,500 people, but in the process of Li Shi Min unifying the world, they had almost never been defeated. Li Shi Min's ability and the strength of this army complemented each other, allowing him to sweep across the world.

There were many reasons for Li Shimin to enfeoffment. First of all, Li Shimin believed that the enfeoffment system could strengthen the control of the vassals and make the emperor's restrictions on the vassals stronger. Secondly, the enfeoffment system could reduce the emperor's land and people, thereby reducing the emperor's responsibility and the possibility of mistakes. In addition, Li Shimin was also encouraged and influenced by some ministers. They supported the enfeoffment system and persuaded Li Shimin to take this measure. However, Li Shimin later abandoned the enfeoffment system because he realized that this system could lead to the separation of military towns and civil wars. In general, there were many reasons for Li Shimin's enfeoffment, including the control of the vassals, the reduction of the emperor's responsibility, and the influence of the ministers.

Li Daozong was Li Shimin's cousin.

Li Longji was Li Shimin's great-grandson.

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.

Li Ke was indeed favored by Li Shimin. Li Ke was very outstanding in both civil and martial arts, and was regarded as the best among the princes. Not only was he talented, but he was also skilled in archery and horse riding. Li Ke had a calm and introverted personality. After being impeached, he began to strictly restrain himself. He no longer had a record of being impeached for making mistakes. He had received the teachings of Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, Du Ruhui, and other great teachers, so his talent was evident. In addition, when Li Ke was young, he had fought against the Turks and made great contributions, forcing the Turkic army to retreat single-handedly. When Li Shimin was young, he had gone to the enemy's territory many times to investigate the situation. He thought that Li Ke was very similar to him and intended to pass the Tang Empire to him. Therefore, Li Ke was favored by Li Shimin.

Li Shimin traveled to ancient times and became a substitute for an emperor, starting a thrilling adventure. Li Shimin found that he was already over 50 years old and his body had begun to weaken after he traveled to ancient times. He was well aware of his physical condition and decided to find a way to return to the modern world. In the process of finding a way, Li Shimin met a mysterious woman who claimed to be a time traveler. Li Shimin learned about the technology of time travel and decided to use it to return to modern times. However, after returning to the modern world, Li Shimin found that the modern world was completely different from what he once knew. He encountered many challenges, including language barriers, cultural differences, and so on. Li Shimin gradually understood his ability and mission in the process of adapting to modern life. He decided to use his knowledge and skills to contribute to the modern world. In the end, Li Shimin became an outstanding leader who brought prosperity and progress to the modern world. His experience became a legend that was engraved in people's hearts.

Li Shimin took measures to dismiss officials in the early Tang Dynasty to reduce the burden on the people and improve the stability of the court. He adhered to the principle of three cuts and three non-cuts, which was to dismiss officials who had no merit, no ability, and were just making up the numbers. In order to convince the dismissed officials, Li Shimin first dismissed his own family members to set an example. He also dismissed dozens of county lords. In the end, Li Shimin successfully reduced the number of court officials from 2000 to 643. This administrative reform was considered to be very successful and laid a good administrative foundation for the later Zhenguan rule.
