Du Ruyi was a vassal of Li Shimin and made a miraculous contribution to Li Shimin. Du Ruyi died early, and Zhenguan died of illness in the early years. After Du Ruyi's death, Li Shimin gave him extremely high honor. When Li Shimin appointed Ling YanGe as a meritorious person, Du Ruyi's ranking was second only to that of The Eldest Sun Wuji among the Heroes of the Heavenly Strategy Department, and higher than Fang Xuanling and Gao Shilian, Wei Chi Jingde, Changsun Shunde, Duan Zhixuan, Zhang Gongjin, and Cheng Yaojin.
Once, the Western Regions paid tribute to a batch of melons and fruits. Li Shimin ate a kind of melon, probably watermelon. At that time, in the Central Plains, watermelon had not yet been planted. Li Shimin ate the watermelon and felt delicious. After Li Shimin tasted a few bites, he immediately ordered the watermelon to be taken to pay tribute to Du Ruyi. This matter canonically published in the New Book of Tang. The original text of the "Du Ru Obscure Biography" is: "It is a day, eating melon beauty, and dropping out of its half-foundation." ”

Li Shimin can be said to have taken good care of Du Ruyi's children. Du Ruqian's people, under the care of Li Shimin, can be described as rich and noble. Du Ruyi's uncle Du Yan (杜淹), the official worshiped the prime minister. Du Ruqian's younger brother Du Chuke (杜楚客), the official worshiped Shangshu of the Ministry of Works. Du Ruyi's eldest son, Du Zhuo, inherited the title of Duke of Guo. Du He, du Ruyi's second son, married Princess Chengyang.
In ancient times, polygamy was practiced. Li Shimin had only one wife, empress dowager Of the Tang Dynasty. The other concubines could only be Li Shimin's concubines. The children of the eldest grandson empress are concubines, and the children of other concubines are concubines. Princess Chengyang was the biological daughter of Empress Changsun, and she was a princess who was like a fake concubine, more noble than the princess of Shu chu. Li Shimin asked Princess Yanci to marry the Du family, and the depth of the Du family's holy family can be seen from this.

The Du Ruhan family, with the support of the Jingzhao Du clan and the blessing of Li Shimin's holy family, if they honestly do things for the imperial court, they can definitely be rich and wealthy. Unfortunately, the Du family's children were not enough to swallow the elephant, and they still wanted to reproduce Du Ru's obscure heavenly wealth. Du Ru's heavenly wealth came from the triumph of xuanwumen's change. In order to reproduce Du Ru's obscure heavenly wealth, the children of the Du family also wanted to make a contribution to their support.
In the middle of the Zhenguan period, the Tang Dynasty again had a dispute between the prince and the prince. Li Shimin's eldest son, Li Chengqian, although he was crown prince, showed signs of falling out of favor. Li Shimin's second son, Li Tai, although he was the King of Wei, was more gracious than the crown prince. Manchu Wenwu was guessing who could laugh at the end of the day between the prince and the king of Wei, and they all chose to bet on the side. The Fang Xuanling family bet the treasure on Li Tai, the King of Wei.

The Du Ruhan family came with a foot pedal two boats. Du He, du Ruqian's second son, bet the treasure on the crown prince Li Chengqian. Du He was the son-in-law of Li Shimin, who was knighted as the Duke of Xiangyang Commandery and had a say in the dynasty. Du He went all out to support Li Chengqian, and Du He's position in the Eastern Palace was like that of Du Ruyi in the past to Li Shimin, the King of Qin.
The Du family initially supported Li Chengqian, but later found that Li Chengqian was gradually falling out of favor and joined Li Tai's camp. New Book of Tang. The biography of Du Chuke records: "Emperor Yi Bo Chengqian is a courtier for Wang Huanmei, and wang Congrui can be an heir, a person or a smell, and the emperor is hidden." ”
Sigh, read: Yes, angry and hateful. Li Shimin was not a straw bag, and he hated and angered the Du family's move to step on two boats, but he couldn't bear it.

The Du family first asked Du He to support Li Chengqian, and then asked Du Chuke to support Li Tai. Li Chengqian won, and the Du family had the merit of supporting it. Li Tai won, and the Du family still had the merit of support. The behavior of the Du family, the good point is to diversify investment, and the ugly point is the two ends of the snake and mouse. Li Shimin was wise and wise, how could he not see through the Du family's ruse?
In ancient times, the Gatekeepers used to pedal two boats. Zhuge Jin, Zhuge Liang, and Zhuge Shi were divided into Wu Guo, Shu Han, and Cao Wei, and were also rumored to be a good story of "a three-sided crown cover". If the Du Ruhan family is not too excessive, even if it is two boats, Li Shimin will not kill. The crux of the matter is that the Du Ruhan family not only stepped on two boats, but also wanted to kill Li Shimin.
Both the Zizhi Tongjian and the Book of the Old and New Tang Dynasties record that Du He, Du Ruyi's second son, actually said to Li Chengqian: "Lang evil Yan Li Ren is good at the number of stars, words change in the sky, it is advisable to build major events, and His Majesty should be the Emperor Taishang." Please weigh the disease, the Lord will come to ask, you can get the will. ”

Du He, as Li Shimin's son-in-law, actually instigated his brother-in-law Li Chengqian to trick Li Shimin into going to the Eastern Palace, and then launched a mutiny to force Li Shimin to abdicate. Is such a plot familiar to everyone?
Before the Xuanwumen Rebellion, Du Ruyi encouraged Li Shimin in this way, persuading him to kill Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji and force Li Yuan to abdicate as Emperor Taishang.
If Du He's plot succeeds, Li Shimin will become Li Jiancheng's version 2.0. If Li Shimin had been deceived into going to the Eastern Palace, I am afraid that he would not be able to become the Emperor Taishang, but would become the Emperor daxing (emperor dies, known as Daxing). Li Shimin was not Li Jiancheng, he himself was the emperor who took the throne in a mutiny. Du He's plot and trickery were discovered by Li Shimin.
Du He, the son-in-law, wanted the life of his father-in-law Li Shimin. Li Shimin was very angry, and the consequences were very serious. Li Shimin disregarded Weng's son-in-law's affection and gave Du He to death. Du Zhuo, as the eldest son of Du Ruyi's family, was not strict in disciplining his brother and was also implicated. Li Shimin issued an edict and demoted Du To lingnan. Du Zhuo was depressed and dead, really dead.

Li Shimin killed Du Ruyi's son, what was the end of Du Chuke? Li Chengqian lost, and Li Tai did not win. Li Tai was placed under house arrest by Li Shimin and lost his right to inherit. As an important strategist of the Wei Wang clique, Du Chuke certainly could not escape severe punishment. Li Shimin publicly announced that Du Chuke's sin should be beheaded.
Li Shimin still has feelings for Du Ruyi. Li Shimin did not want to be exterminated, and announced that he would see Du Ruqian's face, spare Du Chuke the death penalty, and put him under house arrest. This matter canonically published in the New Book of Tang. The biography of Du Chuke, the original text is: "Violent crimes, such as obscure merits to avoid death, abolished in the home." ”
The Du Ruhan family did not want to put eggs in one basket, and as a result, the eggs in both baskets were broken. The Du family's children calculated everything and miscalculated Qingqing's life, and it was really stealing chickens and not corrupting the rice.
