If he hadn't died young, could he have become the first hero of Datang?

In order to commemorate the civil servants and military commanders who jointly laid the foundation of the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Taizong ordered Yan to paint a portrait of everyone and hang it in Lingyange. In his later years, Emperor Taizong often liked to visit his old comrades in Lingyange and recall the eventful past. These people are called the Twenty-Four Masters of Lingyange.

We mentioned two of them before, one is Qin Qiong and the other is Weichi Gong. Today, let's talk about some civil servants. The first is Du Ruhui, the core figure of Li Shimin think tank.

Have any friends misunderstood his name, why did he get an ugly word? In fact, the word "dark" should mean hiding one's strength and hiding one's strength, but it also means dim. The word "Du Ruhui" is clear, and one bright and one dark form antonym association. As for us, we basically regard it as bad luck now, and it became popular in novels in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and we didn't pay so much attention to it before.

Closer to home, Du Ruhui was brilliant since he was a child, and he loved reading. He also showed great talent in literature and history. Du Ruhui was recruited as a reserve official during the great cause of the Sui Dynasty. At that time, Gao, assistant minister of the official department, thought the young man had a bright future. He said to him, you are the pillar of strength, and you will definitely have a future. I want to arrange a small official to do it for you first. Although the salary is a little less, you should stick to it.

It is estimated that this sentence made Du Ruhui decide to resign and go home. Of course, I'm not saying that he is a greedy man. It's just that the bureaucracy in the Sui Dynasty was corrupt and the leading institutions were unreliable, which sounded like empty promises. Du Ruhui was ambitious and knowledgeable, but he was only assigned to a small county for security work. Du Ruhui didn't want to bow.

In fact, Gao is right, but Du Ruhui is not the pillar of the Sui Dynasty, but the pillar of the Tang Dynasty.

Then heroes rallied at the end of Sui Dynasty, and Li Yuan captured Chang 'an and established the Li Tang regime. Li Shimin, son of Li Yuan, a hero of the Qin Dynasty, recruited heroes from all over the world. Du Ruhui sized up the situation and decided to go out again to worship Qin Gong.

Du Ruhui's advantage lies in his generous personality and strong determination. He can clear the fog and get to the point in complicated situations. Of course, I have said so much, provided that I have the opportunity to make a decision for him. As a newcomer to Qin Gong, Du Ruhui didn't have a chance to display his talents. There is only one Bole who knows him, and that is Fang Lingxuan, a good friend who is just as famous as him and is called "arbitrary" by later generations.

After pacifying Chang 'an, there was an undercurrent between the King of Qin and Prince Li. Seeing that there are so many talents in Qin Gong, Li came up with a bad idea, borrowed a letter and transferred all his talents to other places. Although Du Ruhui was unknown at that time, he was unfortunately lying down with a gun.

Pack your bags, Du Ruhui is about to embark on an unknown journey. When he left Qin, Fang grabbed him and said, Hey, I don't want you to go. I want the whole world to know that you are unique. Du Ruhui also replied emotionally, whether to stay or not is the loneliest thing. If you don't finish, you will only have to say goodbye. (it's purely a spoof by the island owner ~)

However, Fang Lingxuan did find Li Shimin directly and advised him that "Du Ruhui is smart and knowledgeable, and Wang Zuocai is also." , said that if Li Shimin really has the ambition to win the world, he will not disappear.

It's a bit like Xiao He chasing Han Xin under the moon. Of course, compared with the plastic brotherhood between Xiao He and Han Xin, Fang and Du Ruhui have an iron-porcelain relationship, and both brothers are in the Book of Old Tang Dynasty. As I said before, Du Ruhui is good at making decisions, so whose decision is it? Yes, Fang is good at divergent thinking, brainstorming and putting forward many suggestions, while Du Ruhui just supplements, gathers thinking, integrates Fang's brains and chooses the most suitable decision.

Li Shimin is also a person who listens to advice. He listened to Fang's suggestion, immediately called, and just pulled Du Ruhui back who had stepped out of Qin. From then on, Du Ruhui and Fang became the right-hand man and started a glorious journey.

In the days that followed, Du Ruhui followed separatist forces, such as Xue in the west, Liu Wuzhou in the north and Wang in the east. Du Ruhui strategized and won thousands of miles to help Li Shimin's army sweep the world.

Since the beginning of the world, Li Shimin, king of Qin, has built the Ce Tian House, which has made great contributions to the whole world. His power is so great that he can be an official. And the Prince's East Palace will not sit still, and an inevitable fratricidal drama is about to break out.

It is hard to say whether the change of Xuanwu Gate is right or wrong, mainly because I don't know whether this historical record is reliable. Let's cut into this matter from the perspective of Du Ruhui, the protagonist of this article.

In the decisive battle between the King of Qin and the princelings, Du Ruhui should be the most unlucky one in Li Shimin. Compared with the killer who sneaked into Weichi Gong's house and stood all night, his hand didn't dare to move. Du Ruhui is a man of culture and easy to bully.

At that time, concubines in the harem, such as Zhang Jieyu and Yin Defai, all supported Prince Li. Du Ruhui was dragged down by Yin Fu and Yin ratty when he rode past Yin's door, saying that cycling was not allowed at my door according to the traffic regulations, and he also sent his children to play Du Ruhui. Afterwards, Du Ruhui was accused of bullying others.

Li knows that Fang and Du Ruhui are the most terrible people in Qin Gong. Showed to lee didn't also the courage, or with the old routine, falsely accused Du Ruhui and Fang two people arrived, was ordered to transfer from the qin dynasty palace, and pardoned are not allowed to serve.

According to the Book of the Tang Dynasty, Wuji, Weichi Gong and others have been earnestly trying to persuade them to start work, but they are hesitant because of brotherhood. As a result, he was poisoned at the Hongmen banquet designed by Li and vomited several liters of blood. At this point, Li Shimin was forced to decide to fight back in self-defense.

Now that the decision has been made, the first thing to do is to secretly call Fang and Du Ruhui back. Without these two brothers, nothing can be done. At that time, Fang and Du Ruhui also took great risks, disguised as Taoist priests, and sneaked back to the Qin Palace.

A waking lion has the strongest brain, which is followed by the change of Xuanwu Gate. Li Shimin, king of Qin, killed Prince Li and Li Yuanji, king of Qi, and won a great victory.

When Li Shimin officially ascended the throne as Emperor Taizong, Zhenguan began. Du Ruhui and Fang lived in the same dynasty, relying on family decision-making, laid down the laws and regulations of the early Tang Dynasty, established the norms of selecting officials, and so on, which made the Tang Dynasty on the right track, prosperous, and the prosperous era of chastity came. Fang Lingxuan and Du Ruhui are also praised by later generations as models of good looks throughout the ages, and they have the nickname of "writing with latitude and longitude, seeking depth and assistance". This voice is homophonic, only in the room and Du. "

Unfortunately, talented people are jealous. In the fourth year of Zhenguan, Du Ruhui was seriously ill. Emperor Taizong sent all the world famous doctors to cure Du Ruhui's disease. At this time, doctors at Du Fu's gate lined up. Du Ruhui died at the age of 46.

After Du Ruhui's death, Emperor Taizong missed him beyond measure, thinking of him when eating melons and dreaming of him, and rewarding other courtiers. In the future, when establishing the ranking of Lingyange's twenty-four outstanding figures, Du Ruhui ranked third. The first two Wuji and Li certainly have first-class abilities, but they have something to do with Emperor Taizong. Du Ruhui, for its part, is one of the best.

It is not appropriate to say that Du Ruhui died young, but the island owner can't think of a better word. Compared with Fang, Wuji and Du Ruhui who are over 60 years old, is really "dead". If he can live a few more years, can he stand higher in this era when chastity can show his political talent and lofty aspirations?
