Dou Jiande did not hesitate to recall Wang Cong and replace him with Liu Heimin, the prince of Donghai County, who led his troops to attack Yinzhou.

Needless to say, the disputes among Dou Jiande's subordinates were much simpler than the complicated and varied battles in Luoyang City, and his subordinates were actually roughly divided into two factions.

One faction is the old ministers of the Sui family, and the other is the old subordinates he brought out from Shandong, and there are many bandit leaders in Hebei who have taken refuge in him, which can be roughly classified into one category.

The struggle between these two factions began when Dou Jiande led his troops into Hebei, and when he came to the peak, he recovered Wang Cong and others in Hejian, and then defeated Yu Wenhua and his brothers.

His territory was violently expanding, and he defeated officers and soldiers one after another, which not only made the morale of his rebels more and more high, but also more and more Sui generals finally appeared in his army, which undoubtedly made his army slowly transform.

Moreover, there are more people who can give him advice and give him some good advice.

But the ensuing internal struggle was also fierce to a certain extent, and the leaders of the rebel army who took it as their duty to kill officials and rebel were certainly unwilling to submit to the enemy, and the generals of the official army and the former ministers of the Sui family also looked down on these mud legs, so there was a sharp confrontation.

This is not a trivial problem, enough for Dou Jiande to drink a pot.

That is, Dou Jiande, if Hao Xiaode is replaced, the leader of the rebel army like Gao Shida, it is likely that everyone will end up in anger and disperse.

But the person who presides over the overall situation is Dou Jiande, who is good at forbearance and "very good at talking", and the situation is completely different.

In the past year or two, Dou Jiande has actually only done two things.

One thing is to try to tell the bandit leaders under him, we are going to be hungry, hurry up and pick up the hoe to do our old job, everyone has tasted the taste of hungry belly, is it to this point, everyone still has to gnaw the bark, by the way to get some human flesh to eat?

After his unremitting efforts, it can be said that the results are remarkable, after last autumn, finally got the first crop of grain since the incident, although it is not much, but it is really gratifying.

At the same time, Dou Jiande is also deeply aware that with the talents of these guys under him, it is difficult for everyone to really have enough to eat.

Didn't you see that most of the people who could lead everyone to farm and harvest were descendants who fell under his command one after another?

So, Dou Jiande ignored the opposition of his confidants, and used Pei Ju to shoot the left servant of the Ministry of Officials and the Leader of the Shangshu, which was actually his prime minister, and he was the most powerful one among the three ministers.

Pei Ju, born in the Pei family in Hedong, was a high lord in the Great Cause years, except for Su Wei, Duan Wenzhen, Yu Shiji, Yu Wenshu and a few others, there is no one else to compare.

In other words, in layman's terms, this person has very high qualifications and great talents, and he is also one of the most representative figures of the Pei family in Hedong, and his family background is also very valuable.

If there is no emperor like Yang Guang, if the Sui Dynasty can continue forever, Pei Ju's reputation will definitely not be given to the famous ministers of the ancients.

One of his most famous feats was the ability to divide the mighty Turkic Khanate without bloodshed, and the aftermath was all-encompassing.

The Eastern and Western Turks successively claimed to be subordinate to the Great Sui, and then the door of the Western Regions was opened, and the countries of the Western Regions came to the court one after another, so that the Great Sui jumped to its peak in the Great Cause year.

In fact, it is precisely because of this that the root of the Great Sui will be laid, because the foreign enemy is gone, Yang Guang dares to wander around, and he can use huge manpower to do so many projects, and further, it has developed to the point of mobilizing millions of soldiers and horses to conquer Liaodong.

The brilliant exploits made the emperor go crazy directly and began to become unscrupulous.

As a result, the situation in the Great Sui took a turn for the worse......

In fact, it is clear that Pei Ju has played a key role in the rise and fall of an empire.

As for praise and criticism, later people will naturally not leave so much justice to him, and everyone may have a little mercy for the emperor who died in the country, but they will not have any mercy for the ministers of the dead country.

In fact, Pei Ju is not dead yet, and words like traitor have already appeared on Pei Ju's head, wanting to turn over? With Pei Ju's age, it's not so easy, maybe he has to wear the hat of a second minister.

Dou Jiande is very willing to give this Hedong Pei son a chance.

As for the reason, it's very simple, Pei Ju's prestige is high enough, don't look at Pei Ju's reputation in the last years of the great cause, but as long as this old man lives to stand in front of people, no one dares to talk nonsense in front of him, let alone reprimand him directly.

Speaking of which, Pei Ju is luckier than Yu Shiji and others, Yu Wenshu is dead, and there is no chance to struggle again, so that he can leave a better name behind him.

Yu Shiji also died, worse than Yuwenshu, Yu Shiji caused the change in Jiangdu, and the name of Yu Shiji must be on the pillar of shame at the end of the Sui Dynasty, which is estimated to be only ranked after the Yuwen brothers.

And Yu Shiji is also a capable minister, not to mention his talents, but he is much more unlucky than Pei Ju.

Now, Pei Ju's old partner is actually one Su Wei left, Su Wei is much more senior than Pei Ju, if Su Wei is also at Dou Jiande, then it is likely that Pei Ju will be under Su Wei.

This is not because Su Wei's talent is greater than Pei Ju's, but because Su Wei's ability is more helpful for Dou Jiande to govern the territory.

It's a pity that Su Wei fled to Luoyang after the defeat of Yu Wenhua and the army, and in the messy Luoyang, Su Wei wanted to display his talents but it was very difficult, because Wang Shichong was not Dou Jiande, he didn't want to farm, he just wanted to capture more land, so Su Wei could only be a decoration when he arrived in Luoyang.

Therefore, Pei Ju, who has been unlucky for several years, has a bit of a sense of time to operate, and he has been courteous and reused by Dou Jiande.

Pei Ju agreed without much hesitation, he didn't think much about anything else, the world was already in such a mess, and his reputation was so bad, what should he worry about?

So he is very grateful to Dou Jiande for giving him such an opportunity, as for whether Dou Jiande has the image of an emperor, well, okay, Pei Ju used his foresight that few people can match, regrettably think that even if Dou Jiande tries hard to reincarnate again, the chance of shooting the fast deer is very slim.

Because Dou Jiande does not have a prominent enough family background and occupies a ...... It's terrible......

After Pei Ju took over the position, he was very conceited that if Dou Jiande could obey him...... Dou Jiande himself or his descendants did not have the opportunity to pay homage to the prime minister, and there would never be such a miserable situation as Sun Quan and Liu Bei's descendants.

And when Pei Ju stood beside Dou Jiande and took charge of the government, the effect was almost immediate.

Even those old ministers of the Sui family who had already classified Pei Ju as a minister were bowing down in front of Pei Ju, not to mention others.

Pei Ju casually suppressed the old ministers of the Sui family first, but he did not regard himself as the old ministers of the Sui family, formed a group of friends, and went to fight the other faction, but began to inspect the barracks and warehouses tirelessly, and talked patiently with the bandit leaders.

It didn't take much time at all, and the sound of quarreling in Dou Jiande's ears became less.

If Pei Ju can only do this step, then he can't be called a capable minister, this is just a small test, his biggest role is that then he made some efforts in personnel appointment and dismissal, so that the official ranks and positions of the officials and generals under Dou Jiande are more hierarchical, so that everyone can reluctantly perform their duties.

So the decree issued by Dou Jiande gradually became accessible, which is the most important reason why he can grow a crop of grain.

Dou Jiande's measurement is also enough, he does not care about Pei Ju's growing reputation under his rule, many officials and generals in the army are obedient to Pei Ju, and he values Pei Ju's talent more and more.

Almost all political and military matters had to be implemented after consultation with Pei Ju, and the courtesy given to Pei Ju even exceeded that of his brother-in-law Cao Dan, and later he was treated with a teacher's courtesy.

This made Pei Ju more and more grateful, and he was willing to do his best to assist Dou Jiande.

But then again, Dou Jiande is not a person without his own ideas, more than a year ago, the Turks sent people to ask for Empress Xiao, Pei Ju strongly opposed the handover of Empress Xiao to the Turks.

But in the end, although Dou Jiande was extremely reluctant, he still sent Queen Xiao to the north.

Later, as Pei Ju expected, this move greatly hurt the feelings of the old ministers of the Sui family, and made the battle that had just been settled fierce again.

Some chose to flee to Wang Shichong in Luoyang, like Yuan Bao, and directly branded Li Tang's banner.

And Wang Cong, who was ordered to lead his troops to attack Yinzhou, was called back just because of a sentence from Tong Guangshou, the general of the Left Imperial Guard, and the consequences were extremely bad.

Liu Heimin, who led the troops to break through Yinzhou, plundered the city, and then slaughtered the city, almost razing Yinzhou to the ground.

This kind of bandit style is not uncommon among the rebels, if it was more than two years ago, it would be nothing at all, but now that Dou Jiande has become the emperor, the trend of the princes is gradually becoming a separation, which is extremely inappropriate.

The close ministers led by Pei Ju actually believed that the purpose of this battle should be to force Wang Shichong to return to the army, although Wang Shichong rebelled, it was very hateful, and the problem that might be solved by the envoy, why did he have to meet with swords?

The most important thing to do now is not to stare at Wang Shichong, but to pacify Youzhou, form a good Turkic relationship, and when the overall situation has been decided, turn back and talk to Wang Shichong before it is too late.

But now it seems to be contrary to the general situation, Liu Heimin's slaughter of the city, in addition to making Dou Jiande and Wang Shichong evil, will also leave an infamy, which makes Pei Ju and others, who pay extra attention to the general trend and reputation, unable to accept it at all.

Cui Junsu, who was in the service, wrote a letter asking Liu Heimin to behead Liu Heimin as an example, which was fiercely opposed by the general Tong Guangshou and others headed by Cao Dan......
