Yang Di's cruel rule boiled people's resentment, and various places rose up in succession, and the peasant uprising was in full swing. First, Wang Bo, a native of Zouping, Shandong, led the peasant uprising army to kill the rich and help the poor, and captured many counties in Shandong. After that, the uprising intensified. By the 12th year of the Great Cause, peasant uprisings had increased by more than 130 times, with the number of participants reaching 3-4 million. There are three powerful insurgents in China: Wagang Army in Henan, Hebei Insurgents in Dou Jiande and Jianghuai Insurgents in Du. Although Du Ruhui resigned as a county commandant in Gan Yang a long time ago and was unwilling to work for the imperial court, his family background, experience and education prevented him from traveling with the peasant rebels. In this turbulent era, like Fang, he pays close attention to the changes of the times.
With the expansion of the peasant uprising, the ruling class also held high the banner of anti-Sui, and the rule of Sui was falling apart and crumbling. In the thirteenth year of the great cause, Taiyuan stayed behind and Jinyang sent troops to resist Sui. He led his son Li and others to the south. Because of his popularity and proper strategy, his second son, Li Shimin, was brave and resourceful, so he quickly entered the country and was invincible. In November, it quickly occupied Chang 'an, the capital of Sui Dynasty.
Du Ruhui saw that the overall situation was set, and that Li Shimin was brave and good at fighting, making friends with heroes all over the world, so he took refuge in Li Shimin alone.
After Li Yuan entered Chang 'an, he abandoned all the harsh laws of Yang Di and concluded twelve agreements with the people. Except for more than ten people, such as Yin Shishi, who refused to surrender and were executed, no one asked. For strategic reasons, according to the policies formulated during the founding of the army, the Lee regime made You Yang, who was only thirteen years old, the son of heaven and Yang Di, who fled to Jiangdu, the emperor's father. Soon, there was a mutiny in Jiangdu, and Yang Di was killed by his subordinate Yu Wenhuaji. Tang gaozu forced you yang to abdicate, and Zen was in his own position. Li Yuan succeeded to the throne in Taijitang and proclaimed himself emperor. In the second year of Sui Yining, he changed to the first year of Tang Wude. Li Jian became a prince, Li Shimin became the king of Qin, and Li Yuanji became the king of Qi. Nineteen-year-old Li Shimin became an official, and Tang Gaozu and his son achieved the goal of turning the family into a country. Worship Du Ruhui as Qin soldier Cao Congjun, in charge of books, exams, etiquette and other affairs.
Soon, Du Ruhui was transferred to the post of Governor of Shaanxi Province. The Governor's Office is an organization set up in the frontier fortress to command the army, and Chang is the second official of the Governor's Office. At that time, many counselors in Qin Gong were transferred to other places, and Li Shimin was very worried about it. Bookkeeper Fang said: Du Ruhui is clever and knowledgeable. If he intends to run Sifang, he must be that man. Fang Lingxuan's recommendation to Du Ruhui made Li Shimin very excited. He immediately summoned the high-impedance, forced Du Ruhui to stay, and remained an official of the Qin Dynasty. From then on, Li Shimin regarded Du Ruhui as a confidant and often discussed military issues with him. Du Ruhui became an important member of Li Shimin's staff group.
Although Li Yuan proclaimed himself emperor, he actually only controlled Guanzhong, Shanxi, Bashu and other areas and was surrounded by separatist forces. How to eliminate these separatist forces and unify the world is an important issue facing the Li Dynasty. After discussion, Tang Gaozu and his son decided to consolidate Guanzhong, send troops to the northwest, then occupy Kanto, merge Jiangnan and unify the whole country.
Tang Gaozu appointed Li Shimin as the right marshal, led the army to attack, and Du Ruhui followed the north and south of Li Shimin. Li Group adopted the strategy of crossing far and attacking near, and dividing them one by one. In the first year of Wude, he defeated Xue Renguo, a separatist force in Longxi, and then eradicated Gui Li, who proclaimed himself emperor in Liangzhou, and consolidated Tang's rule in the west of Chang 'an. Wude pacified Liu Wuzhou, which occupied northern Shanxi, for three years. Later, Liu Wuzhou fled to Turkey and was killed by the Turks. When the separatist forces around him were eliminated, he decided to move eastward and attack the king who was entrenched in Luoyang. Wang is the most important and difficult opponent outside the customs. He used to be the eagle dog of Yang Di, the former minister of etiquette in Sui Dynasty, and seized real power through conspiracy. Later, he became an emperor, with the title Zheng. He took advantage of the war between Li Shimin and Liu Wuzhou to seize a large area of land. In the massive conquest, Wang's famous soldiers Luo Shixin, Qin, and so on successively fell to the Tang Dynasty, and many state and county officials, such as Xiao, Deng, Xing, Bian, Yu and Xian, successively fell to the Tang Dynasty. Officials who surrendered were generally treated with courtesy, which made more people leave Wang Group one after another, resulting in the situation that various counties in Henan came to surrender one after another. With the advance of the army, Wang repeatedly lost ground and Luoyang was besieged. In a very critical situation, Wang turned to Dou Jiande, the leader of the peasant uprising army, for help. Dou Jiande was a famous leader of the peasant uprising army at the end of Sui Dynasty. He besieged Wang and shocked Dou Jiande. He was worried that once the king was destroyed by the Tang army, he would be directly threatened, so he personally went to Luoyang to support the king. DouJun ferocious, Tang Jun decided to turn the gun, to eliminate reinforcements Dou Jiande. So he ordered Tang Jun to guard the pass of Wu prison and wait for the fighters to arrive. When Dou Jiande's army was hungry and tired, Li Shimin saw that the time had come and suddenly launched an attack. He waded eastward into Surabaya, dashed and killed, and Dou Jun was defeated. Dou Jiande was also wounded and captured.
After Dou Jiande's defeat, Li Shimin took advantage of the situation and concentrated his forces on the siege of Luoyang in Wude for four years. Seeing that the tide was gone, Wang led the crowd out of the city to surrender. The battle of Wu prison was a key battle in the process of Tang and Chinese culture. The victory of this battle decided the situation of the whole Central Plains. Li Shimin boldly and decisively commanded the campaign, achieving the goal of killing two birds with one stone and destroying two powerful enemies in one fell swoop. Li Shimin was rewarded for this. Because of his outstanding achievements, he also led Si Tuleideng and Dongdao in Shaanxi Province to write a book, adding 20,000 cities.
In the fifth year of Wude, Liu Heita built a platform to worship Jiande in Zhang Nan, Hebei Province, claiming to be a general, and publicly opposed the Tang flag. Soon, Liu Jun seized a large area of land, with its capital in Luozhou, claiming to be the king of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Li Shimin led an army to attack Liu Heita. The war was protracted and fought very hard. Finally, Liu Heita was defeated and fled to Turkey. However, two months later, Liu Heita made a comeback, and Prince Li Qinzheng adopted the proposal. Through the combination of repression and appeasement, Liu Heita was finally defeated and the war of reunification ended. In this war, although the Li Shimin brothers made their own achievements, Li Shimin obviously made greater achievements.
In this regard, Du Ruhui has played a great role. In the army, he judged the situation of both sides of the war accurately and was outstanding in talent, which was appreciated by people inside and outside the army.
As a result, Du Ruhui was promoted, Li Shimin was appointed secretary of Shaanxi Grand Platform, Du Ruhui was appointed secretary of Grand Platform, and there were 300 food cities in the south of Jianping County. Soon I will be an official and a bachelor of arts. In order to receive literature teachers from all directions, Li Shimin opened a literature museum. /kloc-among 0/8 bachelors, Du Ruhui is the first. Li Shimin once painted the images of eighteen bachelors, and hid them in the library, which shows the importance of Li Shimin's courtesy to him. After Li Shimin became General Ce Tian, he opened the government and established a family of officials. He also appointed Du Ruhui as a senior officer in Ce Tian.
Li Shimin's outstanding contribution to the national reunification carefully planned by Xuanwu Incident has made his prestige increase day by day, his power gradually expanded, and his political status and military status also improved rapidly. Li Shimin not only has a large number of troops, but also serves as a minister, and his position is equivalent to that of the Prime Minister. This has a special position in the upper ruling group of the Tang Dynasty, especially among the Li brothers. In addition, in the war of starting troops in Taiyuan and unifying the whole country, Corporal Li Shimin made a wide demand for talents, recruited a group of counselors and formed a political group with him as the core. The formation of this political group and its special position in the Tang and Wang Dynasties made Li Shimin not satisfied with his ambition to be the king of Qin. However, his brother Li is in the East Palace, generous and kind, and assists Li Yuan in handling government affairs. In the process of the early Tang Dynasty, his role was immeasurable. Li and Li worked together on farmland, but the situation was different when they were in power. In order to seize the throne, the two brothers became enemies.
After the United War, the struggle with Li became more and more superficial. In the seventh year of Wude, Tang Gaozu took three princes to hunt and ordered them to shoot from a winning angle. Li took the opportunity to give a good horse to ride. Li Shimin didn't know there was fraud, so he rode after the wild deer. This horse is fierce. It smashed the fork three times and almost threw Li Shimin off his horse. In the ninth year of Wude, Li invited him to dinner and secretly poisoned him. After drinking, Li Shimin felt sudden pain and vomited blood for several liters. In Li He's struggle, Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, was completely on Li's side. He and Li often sued with the harem. Tang Gaozu often takes sides with the prince, believing that this is true, and accuses Li Shimin. Fortunately, Chen often remonstrated and survived. Then, Li Yuanji told Li Shimin that he had rebellious intentions and demanded that the people be killed quickly. However, Tang Gaozu is wise at this time. He believes that Li Shimin has the ability to pacify the world, and the evidence of rebellion is insufficient. He didn't kill Li Shimin.
In the battle for the throne, the sum of the power of Li and Li Yuanji is greater than that of Li, who is in the position of prince, and tends to have an advantage. This situation makes Qin's family very worried. Fang, Du Ruhui and Wuji all think it is necessary to turn the corner. They made up their minds to get rid of Li and Li Yuanji as soon as possible to ensure the long-term stability of the country. Of course, Li also saw this. He tried his best to disintegrate Qin Gong's military commanders and advisers, but the plan failed. So they framed Fang and Du Ruhui in front of them. Listen to rumors and expel Fang and Du from Qin.
In the summer of Wude nine years, tens of thousands of Turks rode on the border. Li believes that the time has come to disintegrate and divide Qin Gong's elite soldiers. He suggested to Tang Gaozu that Li Yuanji should take the place of Li Shimin in the war. Li Yuanji also requested that the famous Qin generals, Duan and Qin be transferred to their own use, so as to enhance the strength of the Northern Expedition. This move is actually to strangle Li Shimin. Seeing that the situation was not good, he discussed countermeasures with Mowgli, Gao Shilian and Du Fu, that is, he sent someone to call Fang and Du Fu into the palace to discuss. After careful planning, Li Shimin launched the Xuanwu Gate Rebellion on June 4th, 2009, set an ambush in Xuanwu Gate, and shot Li and Li Yuanji in one fell swoop, clearing the way for seizing the throne. Then, Tang gaozu was forced to make Li Shimin a prince, and the military and political power was completely in the hands of Li Shimin. Worship Du Ruhui as the illegitimate child of Zuo, and assist him in handling government affairs. In July of the same year, he was transferred to Du Ruhui as an official department minister.
Be good at managing politics and governing the country. In August of nine years, Tang gaozu gave way. Li Shimin, the Emperor of the Sage Hall in the East Palace, changed the Yuan Dynasty to Zhenguan and respected Tang Yuan as the Emperor's Father. Li Shimin proclaimed himself, rewarding his ministers with meritorious service, with Fang, Du Ruhui and other five people as the first. Du Ruhui named Cai Guogong a prince and gave 1,300 food cities. In the second year of Zhenguan, Du Ruhui was promoted to school assistant. He is also an official minister and an assistant of the school, that is, an acting assistant. He is the chief executive of the province, that is, the prime minister. In the third year of Zhenguan, Du Ruhui was awarded the right servant. From then on, Du Ruhui and Fang lived in the same dynasty, that is, the rule of the prosperous Tang Dynasty.
Du Ruhui is a prime minister and a senior official. He is in charge of the power of selecting and appointing officials. He has done a lot in introducing talents and eliminating bad officials. Du Ruhui takes talents and emphasizes practice. At that time, when selecting officials, they often emphasized words and deeds, without examining their moral character. Du Ruhui advocated that the hiring personnel should be recommended by the counties first, and then the hiring assessment should be carried out. On his deathbed, he also recommended an upright official, Dai Zhou, as a senior official.
Du Ruhui was good at governing a political country, and the system of laws and regulations in the early Tang Dynasty was decided by Fang and Du. After the peasant uprising at the end of Sui Dynasty, the national discipline was slack and everything was in ruins. Du Ruhui and Fang set things right, which gradually put the political system and ruling order in the early Tang Dynasty on the right track. The creation of a new situation of Zhenguan governance is inseparable from the role of Fang and Du. Du Ruhui was in the imperial court, and the relationship between monarch and minister was like fish and water. Colleagues also cooperate with each other to learn from each other's strengths. Fang is good at planning and Du Ruhui is good at judging. The two assisted in the administration of state affairs, learning from each other's strengths and giving full play to their respective strengths.
Du Ruhui of choose and employ persons is full of praise for the admonisher. He regarded chenchen as a pillar of the national salvation, but dismissed Yu Shiqi, an assistant minister of literature and history in the Sui Dynasty, thinking that he was important and had something to talk about. However, he kept his mouth shut about the debauchery and cruelty of Emperor Yang Di, without any advice. It is a vegetarian to use such a person to take charge of important affairs.
As a prime minister, Du Ruhui demands himself with his traditional morality. He is generous and can treat others' strengths correctly and bring them into play.
In December of the third year of Zhenguan, Du Ruhui resigned as prime minister due to illness. During his serious illness, Emperor Taizong personally visited him. Emperor Taizong was very sad about Du Ruhui's untimely death. He abandoned the court for three days and gave it to him, and soon he was named Lai Gong.
