Because of 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 Chengqian had offended Li Shimin.]

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 Shimin was described as a loyal king, handsome, and extraordinary. The great poet Du Fu also praised his image. Other than being handsome, he was also very powerful. However, there was no clear description or photo to confirm his appearance. Therefore, it was impossible to determine whether Li Shiming was handsome or not.

Li Daozong was Li Shimin's cousin.

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 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 Longji was Li Shimin's great-grandson.

Li Shimin was also granted the title of King of Qin.
