In his later years, Li Yuan gave birth to seventeen sons, plus thirteen daughters, plus five sons and six daughters that Li Yuan gave birth to before the Taiyuan uprising, for a total of forty-one children. After Li Shimin ascended the throne and became emperor, he felt that there were too many brothers and sisters to manage, so he wanted to pull Dou Shi out and make him Zong Zhengqing.
Dou was Li Yuan's son-in-law and Li Shimin's cousin. Dou's father was Dou Kang, the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty. Dou Kang was Li Yuan's brother-in-law and Li Shimin's uncle. In line with the principle of kissing the superior and adding affection, Li Yuan married the second daughter of Princess Xiangyang to Dou Tian.
Dou Shi was the cousin and brother-in-law of the little prince and the little princesses, and Li Shimin wanted to use Dou Shi's identity to make Dou Zhengqing zong zhengqing and manage the little princes and little princesses. In order to elevate Dou Sheng, Li Shimin also granted him the title of Duke of Xinguo as a great general of the Right Leading Army.

During the Sui and Tang dynasties, the twelve wei generals belonged directly to the emperor, and the official rank was equal to that of the prime minister. Li Shimin gave his brother-in-law Dou such a high official position and title, hoping that his brother-in-law could suppress the imperial brothers and imperial sisters.
Unfortunately, instead of suppressing the imperial brothers and sisters, Dou Shi stabbed Lou Zi and was impeached. Li Shimin had no choice but to summon his brother-in-law into the palace and ask him what was wrong. It doesn't matter if you don't ask, a question makes Li Shimin doubt his life. This incident is from the New Book of Tang. The original text of the "Biography of Dou's Birth" is: "Emperor Taizong and the language, faint and wrong".
When Li Shimin saw that his brother-in-law was so stupid, he had no choice but to issue an edict: "Birth is worse than decay, and it is impossible to do things, and it is unclear to know and let it go." And those who choose officials rule, and those who choose officials are chaotic. It was headed by Dr. Guanglu. ”

Li Shimin confessed his mistake because of Dou's birthday. Emperor Taishang Li Yuan was pit by Dou and was forced to admit his mistake to his courtiers. In the third year of Wu De, Dou Shi took his brother-in-law Li Yuanji to do absurd things. Li Yuan protected his calves and protected his son-in-law Dou Tian. Li Gang argued on the basis of reason and forced Li Yuan to deal with Dou Yuan. Li Yuan had no choice but to apologize to Li Gang.
The Zizhi Tongjian records that Dou Shi has a specialty, that is, he is good at pitting his father-in-law and brother-in-law. Li Yuan was Dou's father-in-law, and as a result, he was pit by Dou. Li Shimin and Li Yuanji were Dou Tian's brother-in-law, and as a result, they were both pit by Dou Tian. Dou Sheng's pit is related to his grandfather Dou Rongding.
Dou Rongding was Yang Jian's brother-in-law, and during the Northern Zhou Dynasty, he married Yang Jian's sister Yang Shi. When Emperor Wen of Sui changed dynasties, Dou Rongding made a great contribution. Emperor Wen of Sui attacked the Turks in the north, and Dou Rongding also took command and made great military achievements. Dou Rongding's credit to the Sui Dynasty was greater than that of The Lingyange hero Chai Shao to the Tang Dynasty.

The Zizhi Tongjian records that Emperor Wen of Sui, in order to repay Dou Rongding, wanted to make him a third duke. During the Sui and Tang dynasties, the chancellor and the twelve wei generals were sanpin officials. The first and second pins are honorary positions, nominally higher than the prime minister, but have no real power.
When Emperor Wen of Sui wanted to crown Dou Rongding as the Third Duke, Dou Rongding was a great general of the Right Wu Wei. Dou Rongding, facing the position of the Third Duke who was higher than that of the chancellor, said to his brother-in-law Yang Jian: "Wei, Huo, Liang, and Deng, if they are less self-deprecating, they will not overthrow the emperor." ”
Translating Dou Rongding's words, it means: "If the Wei Qing family and the Huo Family, the Liang Ji Family, and the Deng Xiao Family had backed down a little, they would not have brought the disaster of extinction." ”
When Dou Rongding said this, he made his attitude clear to his brother-in-law Yang Jian. Yang Jian saw that his brother-in-law refused to ask for the position of the Third Duke, so he had to give up. Dou Rongding was very powerful in martial arts, and was a great general relied upon by Emperor Wen of Sui. As soon as Emperor Wen of Sui ascended the throne, he asked Dou Rongding to guard Shandong. Dou Rongding was also unambiguous, and immediately committed a crime, allowing Emperor Wen of Sui to remove him from his post.

When Dou Rongding saw that he was about to become an extremely popular subject, he did the thing of pitting his brother-in-law. The brother-in-law Yang Jian saw that his brother-in-law had no ambition and was very relieved about his brother-in-law. Dou Rongding was able to die a prosperous and prosperous life, and the title was inherited by his son Dou Kang.
The Zizhi Tongjian records that Dou Kang was Li Yuan's brother-in-law. After Li Yuan founded the country, he relied heavily on Dou Resistance. Li Yuan made Dou Kang chancellor and made him the grand general of Zuo Wuwei. Dou resists going in and out, and the value of the people is extreme.
After the sinus resists the influx, it will open the mode of "less self-deprecation". Dou Kang did not care about the major affairs of the country, but only cared about eating, drinking and having fun. Li Yuan considered Dou Kang incompetent, and after Dou Kang's death, he gave Dou Kang the nickname Yue Mi. The "TanFa Kao" records that the previous secret of the posthumous supplement is not very good.
Dou Rongding, Dou Kang, and Dou Xiang all did something out of the ordinary when they were about to reach the extreme of the nobility of the people. In particular, Dou Shi, when his father-in-law and brother-in-law were in the dynasty, always showed a stupid look that made people doubt life. The Dou family pretended to be stupid from generation to generation, and became rich from generation to generation. It was not until the fall of the Tang Dynasty that the dou family's wealth ended.

Dou Kang's great-granddaughter was Li Longji's biological mother, Empress Dowager Dou of the Tang Dynasty. The Dou family produced two Empresses of the Tang Dynasty, and the wealth continued endlessly. In contrast, the Eldest Sun Family, the Gao Shilian Family, the Chai Shao Family and other relatives of the Tang Dynasty Emperor were all rich for three generations.
Chai Shao was Li Yuan's most capable son-in-law, and his wife, Li Xiuning, was Li Yuan's only eldest daughter. Chai Shao became a hero of Ling Yange and earned a big job for his children and grandchildren. Chai Shao's son did not understand the principle of "less self-deprecation", and as a result, the Chai Lingwu conspiracy was made. Chai Shao worked hard and hard, and as a result, he was defeated by the son of the pit father.
The eldest grandson Wuji was Li Shimin's eldest brother-in-law and the first hero of Ling Yan Pavilion. The eldest grandson Wuji did not understand the principle of "less self-deprecation", and in the Gaozong Dynasty, he held the three positions of "inspecting the zhongshu order, knowing the shangshu, and saving affairs under the door". The prime ministers of the three provinces divided their powers, and were made to cover the sky with one hand by the eldest grandson Wujie.
Emperor Gaozong of Tang, fearing that Xiang Quan would threaten the imperial power, took the incident of deposing Wang Liwu as an opportunity to destroy the eldest son Wujie. The eldest grandson family has since collapsed and never regained its former glory.
Gao Shilian is Li Shimin's wife and uncle, and the Gao family has served as a left servant for three consecutive generations, which can be described as unlimited scenery. After Gao Shilian's death, the Gao family was implicated in the rebellion of the eldest grandson Wujie, and ended up with a family that was destroyed.
Less self-deprecating, smart is not exhausted, cheap can not be taken of the meaning also. Also a relative of The Li Shimin family, the eldest grandson family, etc. declined, and the Dou family understood the principle of "less self-depreciation", making the family rich and noble for hundreds of years. The four words of "less self-deprecation" can be described as a pearl of words, and after reading these four words, they can be used for a lifetime.
