Li Zhiyun, the king of Chu, entered Shu, which did play a role in stabilizing the morale of the army, and Li Xiaogong, the king of Zhaojun, was unfavorable due to the long-term war, so he strategically changed to recruit heroes in Shu, and Xu Tu was long-term.

And from the perspective of the overall situation, Li Tang has also switched from offense to defense since then, Li Yuan has been working hard to stabilize Guanzhong, and at this time he has got a good opportunity.

But although the intentions are good, in fact, because of the change in military strategy, they cannot quickly defeat those enemies who threaten Guanzhong, and they cannot use a series of military victories to stabilize people's hearts, so the internal contradictions are still gradually intensifying......

At the beginning of Tang Wude's third year, the things that annoyed Li Yuan were not over.

After Wen Dayou's death, Li Yuan took advantage of it a little, intending to slow down Li Po's offensive and buy Li Shimin some time.

Obviously, a series of defeats in Jindi made Li Yuan tremble, lest there be another defeat, so that Li Ding'an rushed across the Yellow River in a battle.

But what he didn't expect was that his son was much more ruthless than him, so he took the opportunity to personally lead 500 soldiers to Yongfeng Cang to welcome Wen Dayou's coffin on the grounds of admiring Wen Da's virtuous behavior.

That night, Li Shimin took advantage of Dugu Huaien's unpreparedness, killed him, passed it on to everyone, and purged more than a dozen of Dugu Huaien's henchmen.

When the news reached Chang'an, it can be described as a shock.

Even though Li Shimin made some preparations, wrote a book on the crimes of Dugu Huaien, and successively presented the evidence of Dugu Huaien's henchmen, and wrote to his uncle, Song Guogong, Xiao Yu, the secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and others to ease his cheeks in the court, it was still difficult to stop the court from discussing the turmoil......

First of all, the relatives and friends of the Dugu clan were old, and they wrote to attack Li Shimin, the king of Qin, for killing the minister without having a division.

The influence of the Dugu Gate Valve was finally revealed at this time, and the snowflakes soon filled the emperor's table, according to the habits left over from the war at the end of the Jin Dynasty, it was likely that the next would be one rebellion after another.

Because emperors since the end of the Jin Dynasty have generally not been merciful in this kind of matter, large-scale purges are a common thing.

And in these years, especially in the north, there is no concept that the monarch has to die, and the top gate valve like the Dugu clan must be very fierce when the purge is coming, so it is also very difficult to uproot a gate valve.

At this time, Xiao Yu and others began to speak for Li Shimin.

Xiao Yu's wife is the daughter of the Dugu clan, and she is also from the Yanzhi, Li Yuan's cousin, and she is also related to the Turkic Khan Princess Yicheng, and the blood relationship is not worse than that of Dugu Huaien.

And Xiao Yu himself is also from the Xiao family in Jiangnan, which is actually a little more valuable than Xiao Milling, he is the brother of Queen Xiao.

It can be said that Xiao Yu has a great say in the Dugu Gate Valve, and when he stood up to speak for Li Shimin, the voice of the Dugu Gate Valve immediately became a little smaller.

Coupled with the eldest grandson's uncle and nephew, they belong to Li Shimin's wife's family, they are the representatives of the Dongdu Gate Valve, and now the children of the Dongdu Gate Valve have fled westward, and the Changsun clan has taken refuge under the Changsun clan because of the reason that they came one step earlier, so that their position in Chang'an is becoming more and more stable.

Moreover, in order to win over the people in the Eastern Capital, Li Yuan also treated them very favorably, so their influence on the emperor was extraordinary.

With them speaking for Li Shimin in front of Li Yuan, they are a few points stronger than Xiao Yu.

Coupled with the running of others, the evidence of Dugu Huaien's guilt adduced by Li Shimin is also conclusive, and this turmoil has actually shown signs of an end at this point.

After all, although Dugu Huaien is the owner of the Dugu clan, he is mediocre in talent, and he holds his own identity, and he is very stubborn, which is not pleasing in the Dugu clan, and everyone is actually not complaining about Dugu Huaien himself at this time, but for the sake of his own net worth.

I'm not afraid that there will be no good things, but I'm afraid that there are no good people.

The people under the Dugu clan gradually calmed down, but some people with ulterior motives got involved.

First of all, Pei Lin and others, among these people there are many shadows of Chang'an lords, and the reason why they jumped out quickly was not only because of Pei Lian's instigation, but also because they saw the danger from this matter.

What dangers? Li Erlang didn't even ask, and he didn't even give a chance to send Dugu Huaien back to Chang'an, and he could kill the lord of the Dugu clan on the spot.

In their eyes, this is too unacceptable, today Li Shimin can kill Dugu Huaien, tomorrow, Li Jiancheng, will Li Yuanji follow suit and cut off Yuwen, the heads of Gao's children to show people?

And what about Emperor Li Yuan?

Yes, Li Shimin set an extremely bad precedent, which made some gate valve clans with long-term vision feel a real threat.

You must know that even if Yang Guang has no way and causes chaos in the world, but during the Great Cause years, in addition to purposefully purging the old ministers of the emperor, Yang Guang has never done anything to wantonly kill the people in the clan of the gate lord without going through the department, why did Li Er do this?

And once Pei Lin and the others got involved, things took a turn for the worse, and when the prince and his family saw the opportunity and took advantage of the situation to attack, the matter was almost irreparable.

Li Shimin's move to kill Dugu Huaien for the sake of war considerations made the price he paid almost unbearable.

The so-called pulling a hair and moving the whole body, the fragile balance in Chang'an City was completely broken in more than a month, and Li Shimin, the king of Qin, had a bad reputation in the court.

The Qin Dynasty can be said to be embattled, and then Xiao Yu was caught by someone because of his fierce words, and he went out of Beijing in disgrace, and was appointed as the official secretary of the Eastern Shaanxi Province, which was the result of Li Yuan's deliberate maintenance, otherwise, it would not be surprising to lose his official position and resign.

Subsequently, Zuo Xiaowei, the general and Sun Shunde, the prince of Xue Guo, were also besieged, and Li Yuan had to make him think about it behind closed doors.

Chang'an ordered the eldest grandson Wuji to leave Beijing and transfer to the county magistrate of Wannian County.

Shi Du Ruhui, the governor of the Qin Dynasty, was also attacked, because his uncle Du Yan was in the Eastern Capital Wang Shichong as a secretary of the Ministry of Shangshu, someone forged his correspondence with Du Yan, and wanted to trap him to death, and soon Du Ruhui was arrested and sent to Dali Temple and put in prison.

This is a fierce and monstrous wave that is even more violent than when Liu Wenjing was killed, the Qin Dynasty and the family are all trembling, everyone is in danger, and there is an endless stream of people who switch to the prince's line.

Seeing that the situation could not be controlled, Li Jiancheng and the Li Yuanji brothers, who had just returned to Beijing, were so excited that they could hardly control themselves, and under their unremitting promotion, the turmoil became bigger and bigger, and began to affect the leading generals of the Qin Dynasty in various parts of the world.

Li Yuan finally couldn't sit still, he was becoming more and more dissatisfied with the people in King Qin's family, and he also wanted to take this opportunity to let his second son be honest, but he didn't want to see his sons kill each other so unscrupulously under his nose, ignoring the overall situation.

So after more than two months of acquiescence, Li Yuan finally began to control the situation.

Like Liu Wenjing's time, he first took the king of Qi Li Yuanji and stabbed him, and reprimanded him in court for being arrogant and ignorant, being the prince in vain, repeatedly disagreeing with the former soldiers of the army, and did not repent, and immediately issued an edict to revoke his prince and all other official positions, and changed him to Chang'an Order.

Such a heavy punishment actually almost removed Li Yuanji from the Li family tree, showing his anger to the ministers, in fact, it also showed Li Yuan's disappointment in this son.

Taking advantage of the fact that the court was much quieter, Li Yuan slapped Pei Lin again, so Pei Lin went home and thought about it again.

Without close ministers like Pei Lin fanning the flames, the offensive of the prince's family was immediately much worse than before.

Then Li Yuan accepted two more Dugu daughters into the palace, showing his attitude, and at the same time led the left leader Dugu Xiude to succeed as the lord of the Dugu clan, and then issued an edict to promote him to the general of the guard, the doctor of Guanglu, and the leader of the Qianniu Mansion.

Dugu Xiude is the great-grandson of Dugu Xin of the Shangzhu State of the Western Wei Dynasty, his grandfather is Dugu Xin's fourth son Dugu Zang, and his father is Dugu Ji, the son of Dugu Zang.

His father had been killed by Wang Shichong, and he was one of the people who fled to Chang'an in the east and west.

The pedigree is also very clear, it is indeed Dugu Xin's bloodline, and his identity is precious, so far the resentment of the Dugu clan has been calmed.

The bottom of the kettle is drawn, and the prince is not looking for any trouble here.

And Li Shimin was not idle over there, he was beaten in the head, and Li Shimin was also frightened, and soon married Jingzhao Wei's daughter Wei Qi.

Wei Jue was born in the Jingzhao clan Wei is true, but she belongs to the remarried daughter, her previous husband was Li Min, the son of Li Zixiong, the secretary of the Sui Minbu Ministry, Li Zixiong's father and son were sentenced for following Yang Xuangan's troubles, Wei Jue, as Li Zixiong's daughter-in-law, was also punished.

But her maiden family was really not simple, so she was able to save it and hide in Jingzhao's house, but at this time she was found by Li Shimin and married Webster.

Would Merriam-Webster do it? It must be reluctant, but if the emperor secretly instructs it, it will be different......

After agreeing with Wei, Li Shimin felt that he was still very energetic, so he made a marriage with his cousin Dugu, and the new Dugu lord Dugu Xiude soon had to call him brother-in-law.

And Li Yuanna's two daughters of the Dugu family, according to generation, one is Dugu Xiude's niece, and the other is Dugu Xiude's sister, well, the relationship is chaotic.

Therefore, Hu Fengnan's gradual progress here is really not an empty word......

The turmoil gradually subsided, and the crown prince and his family almost won a big victory, if they worked harder, maybe they could lose the strange title of General Li Shimin Tiance.

Li Shimin relied on his marriage and his father's support to escape the catastrophe, but looking at the mess in Chang'an City, he wanted to cry without tears.

Back in February, Li Shimin had just killed Dugu Huai'en, and cleanly eliminated the threat behind him, at this time he couldn't care about watching the movements of Chang'an, and had to face the war that was about to burn across the Yellow River.

Li Po on the other side didn't know that he had sent a monk over at this time, so Chang'an City was almost turned upside down, and when Wen Dayou's coffin crossed the river, he was leading the army to storm Puban.
