Although Guanzhong is the headquarters of the Guanlong family, there are not a few people in Chang'an who are against Li Yuan and who prefer Huang Mingyuan.

To put it bluntly, Li Yuan's position was unfair and unpopular.

Although Li Yuan's grandfather Li Hu was one of the Eight Pillars of Guanlong, his father Li Bing died early, and the eldest eldest member of the family, Li Zhang, was killed because of his conspiracy against Yang Jian. The Li family was actually in decline.

If Empress Dugu hadn't been Li Yuan's biological aunt and Yang Jian had protected Li Yuan's title, he would have become what he was.

Moreover, Li Yuan is said to be free and easy, cheerful and tolerant, and he is popular with people regardless of whether they are high or low. However, in the eyes of the upper class, he is a cowardly and indecisive person. Even Yang Guang joked about him.

He is "grandma's face".

In addition, in the first two years, in order to survive, Li Yuan kept flattering Yang Guang, selected rare animals and famous horses to offer to Yang Guang to please him, and also gave his nieces to Yang Guang as concubines, which was even more shameful.

Therefore, many people in the Guanlong family look down on Li Yuan.

But in the end, no one had military power, but Li Yuan had military power. To overthrow the Yang family, everyone had to use Li Yuan.

But it is not that there are no opponents of Li Yuan.

In history, when the Li and Tang Dynasties were at their peak, Dugu Huaien, Li Zhongwen, Li Xiaochang and others wanted to rebel, let alone the current situation in which the situation is declining.

Li Wei is not fighting alone.

In fact, after Li Wei arrived in Chang'an, he formed a small group with some people who were not very satisfied with Li Yuan. The main ones were Sun Anye, the general of the right prison gate, Liu Deyu, the guard of the army, He Lou Shanji, the son of He Lou Ziqian,

Wei Yuanzheng, the leader of the left guard, Shi Caiyun, the general of the cavalry, Yuan Lu, Liu Zhenghui's younger brother, Liu Wenzan, the doctor of the Ministry of War, Li Yan, the prime minister of Huxian County, and others.

The people of Guanlong seem to be naturally fond of clinging to groups and making small groups, even in rebellion. The rebellion cases in Guanlong during the Sui and Tang Dynasties were all decided by a few people at the spur of the moment, and some were even thoughtless. Of course, most of them were unsuccessful.

Not all emperors are crazy like Yang Guang.

Of course, Li Wei is not the kind of martial artist who gets hot-headed and does it as soon as he slaps his head.

Li Wei knew that he had no military power, which meant that if he wanted to capture Chang'an City, he had to rely on others.

But Li Wei did not blindly look for companions. Although there were many small groups he joined, and there were many with similar temperaments, rebellion was still rebellion after all, and if something went wrong, his head would be killed.

If the king is not secretive, his ministers will lose; if the ministers are not secretive, they will lose their virginity; if several things are not secretive, it will cause harm.

Li Wei always remembered the lesson of his father's death when he wanted to reform the Li family, so he had to find a few reliable people to help him if he wanted to rebel.

After constant selection, Li Wei finally found a suitable candidate, Sun Anye, the eldest general of the right prison.

Almost every family in the eldest grandson's family has a close relationship with the Li family. Among them, the eldest grandson Shunde of the fourth eldest son is a general under Li Yuan.

This is reflected in the history of Li Shimin marrying his eldest grandson Guanyin, who has no father.

The eldest son of the second room, Sun Chang, was the fourth uncle of eldest Sun Anye. He was originally the Zuowei Lang general of Chang'an and a serious left-behind official of the Sui Dynasty. After Li Yuan entered the customs, he led his children to meet him in Xinfeng County and followed him.

Li Yuan pacified Chang'an, and for his merits he made the general a young eunuch.

It can be said that the Changsun family is Li Yuan's diehard loyalists.

Changsun Anye also held the important position of right prisoner general, but Li Wei secretly felt the dissatisfaction of Changsun Anye.

At first, Li Wei didn't understand how the Changsun family, who had benefited from Li Yuan's position, could not be dissatisfied with Li Yuan. Later, he realized that the Changsun family had gained less.

The Changsun family, starting from their ancestor Changsun Song, was king, and was considered a branch of the royal family of the Northern Wei Dynasty. Up to the generation of Changsun Anye's uncle Changsun Chi, he still served as a high-ranking official like the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

The heritage of such a family is far from comparable to that of Li Hu, a family whose biological father is unknown to anyone.

Now, although the Changsun family has reconnected with the Li family, it has been unable to regain its former glory.

After all, in this time and space, Li Shimin did not marry a wife named Changsun.

On the contrary, Wei Gong Huang Mingyuan was on good terms with the eldest grandson's family, and the relationship between the two parties was no less than that with the Li family. Moreover, Wei Gong Huang Mingyuan's eldest son married the eldest grandson Anye's sister. If Huang Mingyuan became the new emperor,

Guanyin Maid is definitely the future Crown Princess and Queen.

The eldest son's family will also get a chance to make a comeback.

Didn’t you see, when Dugu Xin was executed for treason, the entire Dugu family was about to be wiped out, and the Dugu family had few available talents. But with the emergence of the Document Queen, the Dugu family became the leader of the Guanlong family.

.

Therefore, the eldest grandson Anye decided to defect to Duke Wei and follow the path of the Dugu family. Even if he could not reach the heights of the Dugu family, he could at least be a family of relatives.

Li Wei and Changsun Anye are the kind of people who have affection for each other and have interests for concubines, so the two of them quickly became passionate.

As like-minded comrades, they worked together to dig up Li Tang's grave.

Although the eldest grandson Anye is a general in the right prison, he actually has only a hundred or so people under his command.

Li Yuan, as a person above being an official, has no bottom line.

All officials appointed by Li Yuan personally, regardless of their original rank, were all officials of the fifth rank or above. Some people advised Li Yuan not to give too many official positions, and Li Yuan said: "The monarchs of the Sui Dynasty were reluctant to give rewards based on merit, so they lost the support of the people. We.

How can we imitate him? Isn't it better to use official positions to win over people's hearts than to use soldiers?"

Overcorrection is what Li Yuan said.

Therefore, Changsun Anye seemed to have a high official position, but in fact he had little power.

With the strength of the two of them, it was too difficult to remember the truth. How could a hundred or so people be worth the tens of thousands of horses in the city.

The two of them did not dare to win over others rashly, so they had to secretly look for like-minded people.

Changsun Anye quickly set his sights on his uncle Changsun Chang.

Changsun Sheng belongs to the second member of the Changsun family, and the status of Changsun Sheng's branch was really not very good before the emergence of Changsun Guanyin and Changsun Wuji. Although Changsun Sheng is not little famous, he is, at best, just a relative.

There was not even a third-rank official, not even the Duke of Luanjie in the early Sui Dynasty.

Therefore, Changsun Anye had to rely on his third uncle Changsun Chang if he wanted to mobilize the power of the Changsun family, especially the second family.

Of the four brothers of Changsun Sheng, the first three died, leaving only Changsun Chang. Therefore, Changsun Chang is the head of this house.

Changsun Changguan was appointed as a young eunuch. This position was nothing special. He also had a part-time job, or dispatch, as Li Youliang's deputy general.

After Li Yuan went to Tongzhou, the troops and horses left behind in Chang'an were only more than 16,000, and they were divided into three.

One is Li Xiaoji's Lantian soldiers, about 8,000 people. The other is Li Youliang's imperial army, about 5,000 people. The other is Zhao Cijing's city defense army, about 3,000 people.

The three groups formed a garrison.

Changsun Chang was not originally from Yuancong, but Changsun's family, especially the second family, had been squeezed out in Guanlong, and he was the target of Li Yuan's wooing, so Changsun Chang was entrusted with the important task.
