Datang: Only by resisting the decree can we become stronger

This frightened the chief eunuch to sweat on his forehead.

"Back to Mr. Changsun, how dare we not send someone to notify such a big event?"

"And from the beginning to now, I have sent two or three groups of people to invite the King of Peking."

At this moment, the palace eunuch sent to invite Li Qiu rushed back to report.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Li Qiu, the King of Peking, is currently staying at Lord Du Ruhui's residence."

Upon hearing his words, the complexions of Xiao Yu, Du Zhenglun, Hou Junji and others couldn't help but darken.

I just wanted to say a few words, saying that Li Qiu is out of order.

Will you still take His Majesty to heart?

But before they could make a move, the eunuch continued breathlessly, "Master Du Ruhui."

"I'm afraid it won't work at this time..."

Upon hearing his words, Li Shimin felt his scalp explode.

"What did you say?"

"Du Ruhui is dying?!"

The little eunuch whispered fearfully again: "Reporting to Your Majesty, Lord Du is probably in a bad condition at this moment."

"In Du's mansion, there are endless mourning, Mr. Du has already begun to explain the funeral..."

Upon hearing his words, Li Shimin stomped his feet in great sorrow and regret, and directly announced the cancellation of today's banquet.

Then went straight to Du Ruhui's mansion.

When Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and others came here in a hurry, they really saw a sad scene.

Immediately, Li Shimin walked in, saying goodbye to this right-hand man who had followed him and advised him for most of his life.

"Kemin!"

"I originally thought that the Turkic siege would be resolved, and I would be free from worries in Datang."

"I'll take a good look at you tomorrow."

"But I never thought, Keming, how come you are so fast..."

Du Ruhui also sighed at this time and said: "Your Majesty, I...I'm afraid I won't be able to accompany Your Majesty anymore."

"Now that I think about it, I have been with His Majesty for more than twenty years."

"I have never begged His Majesty once."

"Now that I'm about to pass away, I'm still worried about this family."

"Before, I entrusted my family to Li Qiu..."

"In the future, I hope that Li Qiu's acting minister will ask His Majesty for permission when he decides on family matters."

Listening to his words, Li Shimin held Du Ruhui's hand and nodded repeatedly, "Keming, I promise you!"

"No matter when, I will never forget, Keming your achievements."

"As long as I, Li Tang Jiangshan, are here, Keming your descendants will enjoy the emperor's grace forever!"

In this world, the most unreliable promise is the royal promise.

In the trajectory of history, whether it was Du Ruhui or Fang Xuanling, after his death, the family members did not end well.

After Li Shimin, he came to Du Ruhui's sick bed and said goodbye to him for the last time. It was Fang Xuanling, who had been plotting against him, and the two of them had worked together for a lifetime.

Chapter 405 Great Tang Dynasty virtuous official, fall

Seeing that my lifelong friend and good partner who have worked together for a lifetime are dying.

Fang Xuanling held Du Ruhui's hand tightly, tears streaming down his face.

"Keming, I'm here, I'll see you off!"

As for Du Ruhui, at this time, he also felt a thousand kinds of reluctance in his heart.

"Xuanling..."

"You've been hesitant all your life."

"If I leave, no one will help you make up your mind in the future."

Listening to his words, the scenes of the two of them working together in the past can't help but come to mind again.

He was extremely sad, sighed, and shook his head.

At this time, Du Ruhui continued to count: "I have entrusted Du Gou and Du He to Li Qiu."

"Whenever there is a major event, this kid can always have a precise prediction and judgment beyond imagination."

"In the future, if you can't make up your mind about any major matters, you can ask him..."

"Also, this emperor's grace is unpredictable."

"If you were alive, you might still be cautious."

"But if there is such a day in the future, we must tell future generations not to be involved in the disputes of the royal family."

"In the incident that year, we have bet all our assets on that once."

"Xuanling, take good care of the children of your family and mine, and don't let them get involved again."

"These children don't have the ability of you and me..."

Listening to Du Ruhui's last instructions, Fang Xuanling's heart was filled with extreme sadness and shock at the same time.

They are all one of the smartest and wisest people in the world, so they can understand and imagine the meaning of these words.

After meeting Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling, and Changsun Wuji, the three people who had the closest relationship with Du Ruhui, Du Ruhui was obviously very weak.

The others also did not enter, leaving this last time to Du Ruhui's family.

After about a stick of incense, an extremely sad cry erupted in the house.

At this time, everyone who had been waiting outside also knew about it.

Du Ruhui, a virtuous minister and prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, left them just like that.

At this moment, Li Shimin burst into tears, punched the wall with his fist, and wailed, "Keming!"

"How could you leave me so easily?!"

"Back in the day, I still remember when Xuan Ling recommended you to me, saying: Du Ruhui, Wang Zuozhi's talent, if the king wants to manage the Quartet, he must be as dark as possible."

"At that time, I was in high spirits, and the two of you also looked youthful."

"But in the blink of an eye, we are all so old."

"Keming, you just left us like this..."

"In my heart, I am reluctant to let go, like a knife..."

At this moment, not only Li Shimin, but also Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji, Qin Qiong, Yuchi Jingde, Li Jing, Samurai Xun and other friends who hurried over were also lamenting and weeping.

And at this moment, Li Qiu's tears were dripping down his face continuously. What came to mind at this moment was all about how he had come from a merchant to the present step by step.

An elder like Du Ruhui joked and beat him on the surface, but in fact he secretly maintained his image everywhere.

In the entire Tang Dynasty, those who cherish Li Qiu's talent the most, Du Ruhui and Li Jing are definitely the most.

More than once, Du Ruhui wanted to bring Li Qiu to his side to train him and inherit his mantle.

But helplessly, he was always rejected by Li Shimin.

I still remember that time when we got together in the Furong Garden, Du Ruhui sighed with emotion.

"Oh, this disease, even if you don't drink alcohol, it won't take you two years."

"It's better to go as fast as you can, it's better."

"The dishes that Li Qiu cooks, as well as the wine he brews, really should only be found in the sky."

"Suppose, there really is such a day, before you die, you must taste those few mouthfuls of vegetables and drink a few mouthfuls of shooting Sirius..."

Unexpectedly, this time, he really responded to that sentence.

When he was busy in the kitchen before, Du Gou told Li Qiu with a sad face that his father's body could no longer support him.

But he has been thinking about these dishes of your lord, this shooting Sirius, just like this every day...

Perhaps, father is waiting, and still wants to see you for the last time, and wants to say something to you, lord.

At the beginning, Li Qiu personally killed that dog official, Hou Junji's brother-in-law, because of Yaya and other refugees being beaten to death by officials and yamen servants, and then Hou Junji led the flying tiger army to surround him in the county yamen.

At the critical moment, Du Ruhui, as the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, rushed to the rescue regardless of his status.

"Li Qiu!"

"This is the county government office!"

"You kid is too nonsense!"

On the surface, he reprimanded Li Qiu.

In fact, he looked at Qin Qiong and Feng Li worriedly, and told him several times in a row, "Shu Bao, Feng Li, you two must protect Li Qiu back to Chang'an."

"Before His Majesty's final decision is made, don't hand him over to anyone!"

At the beginning, because of Fan Xing's incident, Du Ruhui and his friends got Li Qiu to be the minister of the Ministry of War in Shangshu Province.

Facing Li Qiu's displeasure, Du Ruhui kept laughing and scolding him: "You kid, don't know what's good or bad."

"In this Ministry of War, there is only one Minister of the Ministry of War and two servants."

"That is related to the operation of the entire Tang Dynasty's army. How powerful is it?"

"Ordinary people just want to be, but they still can't be!"

At that time, Du Ruhui cherished every opportunity and carefully cultivated him.

"Li Qiu... Once it comes to fighting, it's definitely not as easy as you imagined."

"This also involves the collocation of arms, the arrangement of various armies and generals in the army, etc."

"In a large-scale war like this, one hair will affect the whole body, and any slight difference may lead to two completely different final results."

"It's like, Yuchi Jingde and Li Shiji are at odds with each other."

"Cheng Yaojin can only be the deputy commander in chief, not the chief general."

"Duan Zhixuan defends the strong and attacks the weak, Li Daozong defends the weak and attacks the strong, etc."

"The mobilization and operation of the 10,000+, two 10,000+ troops involves too many things."

"You have to consider such things as rations, military pay, luggage, weapons, armor, and even the ancestral home and ownership of the soldiers."

"In the past, in the few battles you led the army to fight, the number of people with the largest number may not exceed 2, right?"

"This time, you kid just took advantage of this opportunity to learn and understand."

At that time, Li Qiu risked the disapproval of the world and planned to marry his concubine, Wu Sui, when the matchmaker was planning to marry him.

He really couldn't find a suitable matchmaker for him, so he led the horse like that and walked aimlessly on the streets of Chang'an City.

It was Du Ruhui, for Li Qiu's sake, he didn't hesitate to demean himself, and took over the job directly.

"Isn't it just such a little thing, what's the difficulty?"

"Tomorrow, you get everything ready, and I'll help you go to Duke Ying's mansion."

"As for the courtiers you worry about?"

"Hey, I'm not the same as Xuanling."

"For those people, have I ever been afraid?!"

"I, Du Ruhui, have acted righteously and walked well all my life, which can be regarded as a credit to the community."

"What can this group of young people do with me?!"

"Li Qiu, you kid just keep your heart in your stomach, just leave this trivial matter to me."
