Chapter 625
It only wrote Li Jiancheng's date of birth and death and the specific location of his burial.
About the events of his life, not a single one was mentioned.
620. Standing on the shoulders of giants, no one is truly invincible! (Seeking full subscription)
Xiang Fangyang originally wanted to say something, but when he saw this scene, he couldn't help but close his mouth.
It seems that Li Shimin not only tampered with a large number of Great Tang history books.
But even when his brother was buried, the text on the tombstone was strictly controlled.
"... The reason for doing this is perhaps because Li Shimin was afraid that one day later generations would overturn the case for Li Jiancheng, restore history, and leave evidence."
"If you say so, Li Shimin is really ruthless."
Xiang Fangyang hadn't said anything yet, but those people from the Cultural Relics Bureau couldn't help but say it.
At the same time, they also said their inner thoughts.
Although the known history praises Li Shimin for how powerful he is and how great his achievements are, where do these archaeologists not know that history is always based on the winner?
History is probably not as simple as it seems on the surface.
They have always wanted to dig out what kind of person Li Jiancheng really was.
But the historical materials in this regard are too few.

-- 【History is like this, whoever wins has the final say. In fact, Li Jiancheng is really not worse than Li Shimin. After all, he is the Crown Prince. How could the Crown Prince be very bad?】
-- 【Li Shimin is great in both literature and martial arts, and half of the Great Tang's territory was fought by him. Li Jiancheng is just a king of guarding the city, and he can't compare to Li Shimin at all, okay?】
-- 【If half of the Great Tang was fought by Li Shimin, then the other half is very likely to be fought by Li Jiancheng.】
-- 【Li Jiancheng's ability will definitely not be worse than Taizong's ability. Taizong once failed to fight a battle, and Li Jiancheng went over and solved it. Some historians have said that any dynasty after Sui will be prosperous. Standing on the shoulders of giants! During the 20 years of Zhenguan, the rewarded silk was actually the stock at the bottom of the Sui box.】
-- 【The other half was not fought by Li Jiancheng, it was fought by Li Xiaogong and Li Jing.】
-- 【Li Shimin couldn't be alone, fighting the world alone.】
-- 【A country of kings makes the people rich, a country without a way makes the country rich.】
-- 【Li Jiancheng lost because his heart was not poisonous enough.】
-- 【Current history is all favorable to Li Shimin, so in everyone's impression, Li Shimin is more powerful. In fact, no one can say for sure what history is like recently.】
-- 【Li Jiancheng is several years older than Li Shimin, and he was also the one who followed Li Yuan to fight in the south and north.】
-- 【Anyway, they are all very capable people. No matter who is the emperor, it is good for later generations.】
-- 【Li Shimin and Zhu Di are similar, but Li Shimin tampered with history, and Zhu Di basically didn't blacken his nephew much.】
-- 【But Zhu Di's tolerance is much smaller than Li Shimin's. Li Shimin only killed his opponents, and the rest were basically used. But Zhu Di killed a lot of people. After the usurpation, he kept chasing and killing. Li Shimin could reuse Wei Zheng, but Zhu Di killed Fang Xiaoru.】
-- 【When Li Er seized the throne, Li Da had not yet ascended the throne. Those people were all colleagues. But when Zhu Laosi seized the throne, Zhu Yunwen had already ascended the throne. Those old guys were based on Zhu Yunwen. Cutting the vassal was proposed by those old guys. Killing or not killing old officials cannot be used as a basis for who has a larger tolerance. As for Wei Zheng and Fang Xiaoru, Zhu Laosi also wanted to reuse Fang Xiaoru, but Fang Xiaoru would rather die than follow Zhu Laosi.】
-- 【Think about it, if you stand in Li Shimin's position, are you willing to be a king or a bandit?】
-- 【Li Shimin killed few, he wiped out his brother's family, and insulted his sister-in-law, just this?】
-- 【Fang Xiaoru didn't make his own death? Those who know the current affairs are heroes, but he is just foolishly loyal.】
-- 【Zhu Di hasn't been blackened yet. Those who say Li Shimin changed history, bring out the evidence.】

-- 【But don't these people from the Cultural Relics Bureau also say that this history is wrong? They must have a little history, so they would say so.】
-- 【Really annoying, those who don't know anything are talking nonsense. These experts also have no actual evidence. How can they talk nonsense? Xiang Fangyang didn't even make a sound.】
-- 【A man who is not poisonous is not a man. If you do things, you must cut the grass and remove the roots. History proves that Li Shimin is a good emperor, and the Great Tang's territory was basically fought by him.】
-- 【I think you have such a view upstairs, it is entirely because you have watched too many TV series.】
-- 【But Li Shimin did make the Great Tang move towards prosperity. An ignorant guy.】
-- 【History books have been tampered with. If Li Jiancheng were the emperor, it might not be worse than Li Shimin. And the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty was built on whose foundation? The Sui Dynasty was very complicated. As long as it is an emperor who can guard the city and not make big mistakes, whoever is the emperor will do relatively well.】
-- 【Sui was beaten empty, still rich? Read more books if you have time. How many people were there in the whole country when fleeing? History has no 'if'. The fact is that Taizong's literature and martial arts are rarely matched. Later emperors took him as an example. Is it something you can erase by talking?】
-- 【The status of the Tang Dynasty was chaotic, starting from Emperor Taizong of Tang.】
-- 【If Li Jiancheng were the emperor, the Great Tang would definitely perish within a year. The Wagang Army were all Li Shimin's people. Would they obey Li Jiancheng?】
-- 【You are so ignorant. The Li family's territory was the board of directors recommended by the aristocratic group. Whoever goes up is fine, and without Li Jiancheng's help to stabilize the rear, purchase food, and recruit soldiers for Li Er, do you think he can do it? It's just one managing politics and one managing the army. It's just that Li Da's heart is too soft, and Li Er's heart is not ruthless.】
-- 【In the early days of the Li Tang uprising, Li Jiancheng was in charge of the army.】
-- 【Li Jiancheng's subordinate Xue Wanche was also very fierce.】
-- 【Li Shimin told the world with his actual achievements that he is the most qualified emperor in world history.】
-- 【Li Shimin killed Li Jiancheng. Does he have to record the process of killing his brother with his own hands? How could he be so stupid?】
-- 【You don't understand. If he doesn't remember, the scholars in the country will help him remember.】
-- 【He wants to smear Li Jiancheng, so scholars won't write. History is like this. Don't you know this?】
-- 【Li Shimin is really cruel and appalling.】
-- 【This is also called cruel? Two groups of people engaged in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, fighting for decades, that is called cruel.】
-- 【Li Shimin's descendants were almost killed by Wu Zetian. This can be considered retribution.】
-- 【Li Jiancheng is really indecisive. He had already designed to kill Li Shimin at Kunming Pool, but Li Shimin took the lead at Xuanwu Gate.】
-- 【You can't say that. Li Jiancheng is the Crown Prince and can be the emperor in a justified way. If he killed Li Shimin, he might not be able to be the Crown Prince.】
-- 【What is there to discuss? This is their family affair. What is there to be unconvinced about?】
"Since Li Jiancheng's epitaph didn't write his life, does his concubine's tombstone have these?"
The eyes of some experts fell on Zheng Guanyin's epitaph.
Not only these experts, but also Xiang Fangyang and the people in the live stream turned their eyes to it.

Xiang Fangyang glanced at the live stream, organized his language, and explained to the curious people in the live stream.
"Zheng Guanyin is the beloved concubine of Crown Prince Li Jiancheng."
"She was born in a famous family."
"In an era where status was determined by family background, Zheng Guanyin, born in a top-tier wealthy family, naturally married Li Jiancheng in the tenth year of Daye of Emperor Yang of Sui."
"When the Tang Dynasty was established, Li Jiancheng was made Crown Prince."
"Zheng Guanyin, who was the Crown Princess, was naturally honored by her husband."
"As a winner in life, she was only a step away from being the mother of the world."
"But Li Shimin's Xuanwu Gate coup killed Crown Prince Li Jiancheng and Qi King Li Yuanji at the same time."
"Along with the boys born to the two, not one was spared."
"Not only that, but Zheng Guanyin was also imprisoned in the palace."
"After the Xuanwu Gate coup, in order to balance the interests of various clans, clean up the situation, and appease the hearts of the people, Li Shimin did not kill all those involved."
"He did not kill everyone involved."
"The two girls born to the Crown Prince were all taken into the palace by him."
"..."
Xiang Fangyang said a lot about Zheng Guanyin.
It also let them have a certain understanding of this character in history.

-- 【I just checked, it said that Li Shimin's original wife's nickname was Guanyinbi. Could it be Zheng Guanyin?】
-- 【No, Guanyinbi is Empress Zhangsun's nickname.】
-- 【I don't understand, can't it be that Zheng Guanyin changed her name and became Empress Zhangsun?】
-- 【Did Li Jiancheng marry a wife before? Li Shimin married at 16, and Li Jiancheng was 26. How could he not have married before? Zheng Guanyin shouldn't be his first wife, right?】
-- 【Some historians have speculated that Li Jiancheng's original wife might be surnamed Dugu.】
-- 【We are discussing Zheng Guanyin and Li Shimin now. What does this have to do with whether Li Jiancheng's original wife is surnamed Dugu?】
-- 【Deserved it. Li Jiancheng had already started to prepare to do it, but Li Shimin did it first. The matter is just that simple.】
-- 【History is written by the winner. This history must have been tampered with by Li Shimin. As long as Li Jiancheng didn't make any mistakes, he would definitely be the Crown Prince and the future emperor. On the contrary, Li Shimin, if he didn't do it, he would only be a subject. He was definitely not reconciled in his heart. On the contrary, Li Jiancheng had no need to kill Li Shimin at all.】
-- 【So no one talks about what the difference is between Zheng Guanyin and Guanyinbi?】
-- 【The Tang Dynasty period was very worshipful of Buddhism, and Zheng Guanyin's father also believed in this, so it is not strange to take such a name.】
-- 【And Empress Zhangsun is called Guanyinbi because she is in poor health, so she hopes to be as healthy and safe as the maid under Guanyin.】 ===== CHAPTER 626 =====
