Sure enough, Du He was ahead of Li Daozong at the time of canonization.
Because Li Shimin attached great importance to the conquest of Goguryeo, Li Daozong brought almost half of the Tang Dynasty generals who were good at conquering Goguryeo, as well as brave soldiers. Of course, the generals who followed Du He on the expedition were also good, each with their own strengths. But compared with the generals Su Dingfang, Zhi Shisi Li, Ashina Sheer, Xue Wanjun, Xue Wanche, Li Daliang, and Guo Xiaoke who accompanied Li Daozong on the expedition, they were still inferior.
In addition, Goguryeo was far less powerful than Tubo. In those days, Yang Guang conquered Goguryeo three times and dispatched a large army, totaling more than 3.5 million. There were defeats and retreats in the three battles, but Goguryeo was not destroyed. In the end, Goguryeo's vitality was seriously damaged. Although after decades of recuperation, his strength has increased, it is ultimately limited. Just like the Tang Dynasty, due to the turmoil at the end of the Sui Dynasty, the world's population dropped by 70%, and tens of millions of people died in the war. During the Wude period, the population was only 200 households. Due to the war, most of them were old, weak, sick and disabled. .
Although the rule of Zhenguan was one of the miracles in history, its development was ultimately unable to compare with that of the Sui Dynasty at its peak.
Many people in later generations used this to express that the rule of Zhenguan was far inferior to the prosperity of the Sui Dynasty. This was obviously an extreme injustice to the Tang Dynasty.
The dual responsibilities - Piaotian Literature - are not on the same line at all.
Because of the turmoil during the Five Hus and Sixteen Kingdoms period, there were many shady households in the world. After Yang Jian came to the throne, he identified the shady households, which caused the population of the Sui Dynasty to skyrocket. In ancient times, manpower was priceless. With manpower, development would naturally be rapid. The Tang Dynasty did not have such good luck. His Piaotian Literature was several times lower than that of the Sui Dynasty. If under such circumstances, the economic and population could surpass the Sui Dynasty, it would be unbelievable.
To put it more simply, a rich man with assets of 100 million has worked hard for a year, doubled his assets tenfold, and has assets of 1 billion. Another rich man only had assets of 10 million. He worked hard for one year and increased his assets 20 times to 200 million. Although there is still a financial gap between them, can we say that he is inferior to the former?
Goguryeo¡¯s strength is limited, but Tubo is different. They are the overlord of the southwest, a powerful country with great vigor and strength, and their power cannot be underestimated.
The enemies and conditions in which Du He led his troops were even worse. Now that he has won so beautifully, his achievements will naturally surpass Li Daozong.
Although Li Daozong was Du He's father-in-law and elder, Du He was still ahead of him and was the first to accept Li Shimin's canonization.
"General Du Hehuai of the Inspector Youweiwei was determined to conquer the enemy. He was trapped in the formation and destroyed the fortress, and he never looked back. He repeatedly fought with Liao and Liao, and the ugly people were defeated and destroyed two kingdoms and captured two kings. His achievements were extremely great, and he was specially awarded the title "Youweiwei". The post of general is conferred with the title of Duke Rongguo"
Du He conferred the title of Duke, which made the officials uproar but was also reasonable.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out???? But he was only twenty-three years old. At the age of twenty-three, he was the first-class Duke of the country. There was no one in history.
The Du family, a family of two princes, suddenly became a famous and famous family.
Others also have their own awards, but as a relative of the emperor, Li Daozong has already occupied the throne and is also the minister of the Ministry of punishment. He has no title and only received commendations.
In the palace, Li Shimin held a banquet to welcome the victorious army. Generals of some status were invited, and many civil and military ministers were also ordered to accompany them.
Du He looked at Fang Xuanling, who was at the top, with even more doubts in his mind. That used to be Changsun Wuji's seat, but now?
Something must have happened.
If it were an ordinary person, Du He wouldn't care so much, but the other person was Changsun Wuji, a figure whose political stance was completely opposite to his. Opposing political stances means that they will be incomparable enemies. Du He could ignore ordinary powerful enemies, but for a powerful enemy like Changsun Wuji, if he didn't pay attention to his movements from time to time, he wouldn't even know when he would betray him.
As the saying goes, those who understand themselves are always their own enemies.
Therefore, when Du He returned to Chang'an, he couldn't help but pay attention to Changsun Wuji's movements. As a result, the latter seemed to have disappeared without any sign of activity.
He didn¡¯t ask too many questions, he just kept the matter in his heart and kept dealing with the toasts from all sides.
After the banquet, Du He and Du Ruhui rode together.
It is said that they are riding together, but they are still one horse head behind. This is the respect that the ancients showed for their elders.
Du He has long been used to it.
"Father, why didn't you see Lord Changsun?" Du He and Du Ruhui walked through the busy area and came to a quiet place, asking the question they had been holding in their hearts.
Du Ruhui didn¡¯t know why. There was no real evidence as to whether Changsun Wuji had betrayed the Tang army¡¯s intelligence, and there was no questioning of guilt. Dali Temple and Shangshu Province do not belong to the same organization. Only Wei Zheng and a few officials of Dali Temple knew about it.He didn't know the details either. In addition, Du Ruhui was very cunning and did not ask questions that he knew he should not ask. He only chatted with his friend Fang Xuanling for a few words about the matter and did not investigate further out of curiosity. He replied: "Just many months ago, Mr. Changsun passed away. Resign from all positions and recuperate at home." Du He was surprised by the news and hurriedly asked: "Your Majesty agrees?" He understood the status of Changsun Wuji in Li Shimin's heart. His brother-in-law had long been Changsun Wuji and Li Shimin were mutual friends, and Changsun Wuji even betrothed Queen Changsun to Li Shimin as his father and brother, creating a beautiful marriage. When Li Tang conquered the country, Changsun Wuji was the first to become Li Shimin's confidant. He remained loyal all the way, but later turned against Li Jiancheng. When Li Shi's military power was seized and Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others were expelled from the capital, the situation was extremely critical. Changsun Wuji still stood by Li Shimin's side and designed to let Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui sneak into the capital as Taoist priests and plan together
The Xuanwumen Incident turned defeat into victory.
Li Shimin is ruthless towards his enemies. Even if the enemy is his brother, who has the methods of an iron-blooded emperor, he is very nostalgic for his confidants who have always followed him. Many heroes of the country have changed their temperament drastically because of their success and fame, and they often leave the cabinet.
Li Shimin usually focuses on persuasion when dealing with situations like this, as long as it is not excessive, and does not have the heart to punish him.
Changsun Wuji is not old. If he hadn¡¯t done something that really made Li Shimin sad, Li Shimin would not have accepted Changsun Wuji¡¯s complaint.
Du Ruhui said: "I agree. This time His Majesty's attitude is decisive. I'm afraid it will be difficult for Lord Changsun to stand up. It's a pity that if such a talented person can devote more of his mind to government affairs, it will be a blessing to the Tang Dynasty" Du He said to Du Ruhui when he saw him. He was cautious, but in his heart he curled his lips disdainfully, Du Ruhui was not Fang Xuanling.
Fang Xuanling is that kind of good old man, a real prime minister, without a temper.
Du Ruhui appears to be a good guy, but secretly he is a liar. If he hadn't been there to help him behind the scenes, he would have suffered big losses due to his lack of experience in political struggles many times. He and Fang Xuanling are good at planning and making good decisions, both of which are used in military affairs. Although they are scholars, they are different from Wei Zheng in that they are good at government affairs. They are the kind of literati who are good at military affairs. He has a very aggressive character and has a strong appetite for Li Shimin to expand his territory. There is a substantial difference from Changsun Wuji's conservatism. Changsun Wuji's death would be of great benefit to them.
Du Ruhui said it with a pity on his face, but whether he was happy in his heart, who knows.
I met my mother in Duhe, Prime Minister¡¯s Mansion. The family gathered together and had a reunion dinner with Changle and
Li Xueyan, Wu Meiniang and others returned to Du Mansion together.
Arriving in front of Du Mansion, Du He looked up at Du Mansion, which was no longer Du Mansion, and was stunned for a moment.
The plaque with the word "Du Fu" has been changed to "Rongguo Gongfu".
There is a small inscription and a seal on the corner of the magnificent "Rongguo Gongfu" plaque.
The seal signed "Zhenguan Li Shimin" means "If you are ordered by heaven, you will live forever."
Chang Le took a step forward and said with a smile: "This is from Father" Du He was also vaguely moved in his heart, and said with a slight smile: "Let's go." After saying that, he stepped into the Rongguo Duke's mansion first.
That night, Du He walked into Chang Le's boudoir, looked around, and said, "Where are the two little guys?" Chang Le's face turned slightly red, and he whispered: "They have been taken away by the maid"
Du He said "haha, haha" with special meaning. When he smiled, he understood the reason.
Changle lowered her head even more after hearing the laughter. Although she was thin-skinned, she had been alone in the empty boudoir for more than a year. How could she not feel lonely? She didn't express it on the surface, but she still gave the order secretly. At this moment, my husband noticed that his heart almost jumped out of his throat.
Du He was a little ashamed. Instead of staying alone with his beloved wife, he had a relationship with Yaochi outside, and wondered if he should confess the matter frankly.
Changle has taken off all the decorations and timidly put on the quilt.
Du He stopped thinking about it and looked at Chang Le's face. If he didn't take the initiative, the beauty of this beautiful night would be wasted. He reached out and grabbed her sharp shoulders, and moved forward to press against her vagina. face, smelling her hair and body fragrance, and said softly: "I miss you."
Chang Le's body was softened by his affectionate rubbing, and he whispered: "Me too." Du He felt the elasticity of her back muscles without any obstruction, full of fragrance, and feasted his eyes on her classic beauty. The contours felt like flesh was eroding bones, and a pair of hands moved up and down irregularly.
Changle opened her small mouth, breathing rapidly, her beautiful eyes half-closed, and her unbearable posture and beauty were as moving as they could be.
When Du He planned to get rid of ChangleWhen he was taking off his already messy coat, his hand suddenly stopped. Then there was a knock on the door, and Sayuri's clear voice sounded: "Daddy, daddy, I'm in." With that, Du He and Chang Le pushed the door open and entered without waiting for them to respond.
Du He was just "leaping the horse and shooting the spear, killing all around" when suddenly this happened. He felt depressed and involuntarily increased his voice: "1 little girl, you can't sleep well so late, why are you running around?" Sayuri was scolded. , his big eyes suddenly filled with tears, and he said sadly: "I miss daddy, I want to sleep with daddy" That pitiful look made Du He feel distressed for a while. He originally felt guilty for his children, Now there was no fire left, so she hurriedly said: "Okay, close the door quickly, come here, don't freeze." Sayuri smiled, her tears were gone, and she jumped directly into the Fengya bed! .
