Soon, the Literature Museum established by Li Shimin began to discuss the most urgent issue at the moment - how to deal with Dou Jiande.

Li Shimin believes that the world has been decided, and it is necessary to appease people's hearts. Dou Jiande should still leave his life and return to Hebei to calm the hearts of the people in Hebei.

Fang Xuanling has always been good at strategy, but he is very secretive about this issue.

Du Ruhui said: "His Royal Highness's intention is to stabilize the world. But I don't know what His Majesty thinks about this. Your Majesty attaches the most importance to the courtesy and righteousness of the monarch and ministers, and Dou Jiande's rebellious behavior may not be tolerated by His Majesty. ”

After Li Shimin heard this, he fell into a long silence.

……

To say that this Dou Jiande was really a first-class hero in the world at that time, he was the most powerful separatist force in the troubled times in the last years of the Sui Dynasty.

The only flaw is the lack of political foresight. But this does not affect his existence as a hero in the slightest.

When Dou Jiande was young, he was famous in the township for his chivalrous deeds.

There was a fellow villager who couldn't bury his deceased parents because his family was poor, so he couldn't go around borrowing money. Dou Jiande was plowing the field at the time, and after hearing about this, he sat on the edge of his field and sighed for a long time, so he untied the ploughing cattle that his family was plowing the field and sent them to his fellow villagers for funeral.

Someone sneaked into Dou Jiande's house at night to steal, he hated thieves the most in his life, so he hid in the dark, and after all the thieves climbed into the courtyard wall, he led his brothers, and the copying guy beat him when he saw it, and killed three in a row. The other thieves were so frightened that they fled in the wilderness, and even if their companions died, they did not dare to report to the authorities.

Since then, Dou Jiande's family has never been robbed.

When Yang Guangdong conquered Goryeo, Dou Jiande enlisted in the army as a military commander.

Originally, he wanted to make a meritorious career, but because he saw Yang Guanghao's great achievements, he was dissatisfied, so he resigned and returned to the farm.

Later, the world was in turmoil, and his hometown suffered a famine, Dou Jiande joined the anti-Sui team of Gaojibo Gaoshida and officially raised troops against Sui.

For the weak civil anti-Sui forces, they could be killed on the spot by the Sui Dynasty's army at any time.

Gao Shida was defeated and killed by Yang Yichen, a general of the Sui Dynasty, because he was too light on the enemy.

Dou Jiande was accepted by Gao Shida as a righteous son, and after Gao Shida's death, he ordered the whole army to wear linen and filial piety, mourn for Gao Shida, and continue to insist on opposing Sui.

When everyone saw that he was strong, they followed him one after another, and Dou Jiande's team became stronger and stronger.

In the process of opposing the Sui, Dou Jiande fought many great victories, among which the Battle of Qilijing was the most famous.

In July of the thirteenth year of the Great Cause, the Sui Dynasty sent Xue Shixiong, the general of the Right Yiwei stationed in Youzhou, to lead 30,000 troops to defeat Dou Jiande.

The army came to the south of Hejian City and camped at Qilijing.

Dou Jiande heard that the Sui Dynasty was about to attack, so he pretended to flee and ambushed his elite soldiers in the swamp.

Xue Shixiong chased Dou Jiande, was ambushed, and returned defeated.

The next day, it was foggy, and there was no one to be seen.

Dou Jiande personally led a death squad of 1,000 people to the camp of the Sui army in Qilijing to attack the camp.

Because the fog was too thick for the two armies to identify, the newly defeated Sui army was frightened, thinking that Dou Jiande had led a large army to rob the camp, so they fled one after another.

The Sui army was numerous, men and horses were running, trampling on each other, and the casualties were not counted.

Dou Jiande went on a killing spree, took advantage of the situation to attack the big tent of the Chinese army, and killed the main general Xue Shixiong.

Since then, Dou Jiandewei has become famous. The big and small anti-Sui leaders all came to follow, and Dou Jiande used troops one after another to gradually pacify Hebei.

After that, he appointed virtuous people to govern Hebei, restored the old policy of the era of Emperor Wen of Sui, lightly endowed with small endowments, and rested with the people.

Peace has gradually returned to the Hebei region. In order to be grateful, the people built temples and statues for him in the township.

It's just that Dou Jiande, who has made great achievements, has gradually lost his former sharpness, although he founded the country, he claims to be a courtier of the Sui Dynasty and lives in Hebei.

is not as open-minded and open-minded as before, he can no longer listen to advice, and he loves to listen to slander, and killed Song Zhengben, Wang Fubao and other civil and military generals.

That's the end of his pattern.

The biggest failure is that he didn't know where the world was and sent troops to rescue Wang Shichong.

……

Li Shimin carefully weighed Dou Jiande's various behaviors since his life, and felt that his sending troops to help Wang Shichong was a simple truth, and the element of self-help should account for most of it, and he was definitely not insisting on opposing the Tang Dynasty.

Therefore, he played his father, Emperor Li Yuan, and asked to leave Dou Jiande alive and let him return to Hebei.

It's just that the music has not responded for a long time.

In the coming day, Li Yuan issued an edict to behead Dou Jiande in Chang'an Street. After the execution, Li Yuan ordered the supervisor of Dali Temple to read out the edict and publicize it to the world: "Dou Jiande asked for his life for the people, he rose in Hebei, and he was the great husband of the world." However, one of its leaves does not see Mount Tai, not from the story of Dou Rong, but imitates the hustle and bustle, the grandson of the generation, the evening is not guaranteed, and it is sad to be honest! Reading that it asked for the people's life, and authorized the people to build temples and statues for it. The rest of the old department, those who are honest with the Tang Dynasty, are not to blame for the past. ”

When Dou Jiande was dying, the deceased Zhang Xuansu came to see him off.

To everyone's surprise, Li Yuan actually regarded Zhang Xuansu as an elder and appointed him as the crown prince.

The crowd was puzzled. Why did Dou Jiande die, but Zhang Xuansu was regarded as an elder.

When the news of Dou Jiande's death reached Hebei, his subordinates were like frightened birds, just like people who saw the shadow of a snake with a bow.

Li Yuan's heart was to hope that they would become officials in the court and give them a chance to be reborn.

But the death of King Xia has made them lose confidence in Datang.

On July 19, the fourth year of Wude, Dou Jiande's generals Fan Yuan, Dong Kangmai, Cao Zhan and Gao Yaxian gathered to rise up and conquer Zhangnan County.

Their divination was the most auspicious based on the Liu family, so they publicly recommended Liu Heimin as the leader and officially launched an army against the Tang Dynasty.
