Who was Li Shimin?

 

[Knight-Dragon]

Since no one even bothered to try... Li Shimin was the actual name of the emperor Tang Taizong, perhaps the greatest of all Chinese emperors. He was chiefly remembered for his effective scholar-official based administration. He was also militarily very successful.
