"Hehe, if you can follow Your Majesty to pacify Jiangnan, the minister will never give up!" Du Ruhui wanted to bow down and salute Li Shimin again, but he never got up after kneeling like this, his body shook violently, trying his best to maintain his balance, his face was as pale as paper, but there was not a drop of sweat.

"Lord Du, how are you?" Yuan Ziyan saw that something was wrong, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked.

Du Ruhui smiled miserably: "The five are burning, but the back is like a broken one." ”

Seeing this, everyone gathered around, and Li Shimin hurriedly walked down from the dragon chair, grabbed Du Ruhui's hand, and said with tears in his eyes: "Aiqing, you must persevere, I will definitely find famous doctors all over the world for you." ”

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid that the ministers won't be able to wait for that day. Ambition is not rewarded, the day is not a holiday, fortunately the Lord, not in vain, this life! Du Ruhui used his last strength to finish the last sentence, his body was crooked, leaning on Li Shimin, and there was no movement.

There was a strong sense of sorrow in the court, Du Ruhui was first a senior counselor of the Qin Palace, and then successfully planned the change of Xuanwumen, and then selected talents for the Tang Dynasty, formulated laws, and once led troops to attack the Turks regardless of his sick body. After getting sick, Du Ruhui often had serious illnesses and asked for leave, but Li Shimin still rewarded him according to the previous treatment, Du Ruhui was deeply disturbed, so he insisted on going to the court, and died of illness in the court.

Finally, Li Shimin let out a heart-wrenching cry, and then there was a cry in the court, Li Shimin was very sad, and immediately posthumously named him Sikong, Lai Guogong, nicknamed Chenggong, and the eldest son inherited the title.

Li Shimin couldn't help himself, and fainted several times, and repeatedly said that this was God's punishment for him. Yuan Ziyan was silent. Knowing that he still can't let go of Jiancheng Yuanji's death, he thinks that this is retribution for him.

Unprecedentedly, Li Shimin announced the abolition of the dynasty for three days. The whole country mourns Du Ruhui, which is an unprecedented courtesy. Despite this, Li Shimin still felt that he had not done enough, and cried for three days, during which he rushed to Du Ruhui's house to pay respects.

"Lord Fang. Go and persuade Your Majesty, don't cry anymore! Wei Zheng urged while wiping his tears.

Fang Xuanling's eyes were also red, and he sighed: "I am an official in the same dynasty as Du Ruhui. I am afraid that if I come forward, I will arouse His Majesty's infinite sorrow. ”

So, everyone's eyes were focused on Yuan Ziyan again, and Yuan Ziyan was silent for a moment. Or step forward. Sitting next to Li Shimin, he persuaded: "Shimin, people can't be resurrected after death, and your crying like this will make Lord Du's soul uneasy." ”

"How can I not know, but the grief in my heart cannot be controlled. As an emperor, it is also happy to be able to cry so freely. Li Shimin shook his head and said.

"Shimin, since you have chosen this path. Just keep going. The Tang Dynasty is in turmoil, and many governments will accumulate in three days. The big picture comes first! ”

"Ziyan, will you still be as loyal to me as you did before?" Li Shimin raised his red eyes and asked, Yuan Ziyan just glanced at it, then turned away, and said with a wry smile: "Have I ever left again?" ”

Li Shimin was silent, and said with some distress: "I only feel that I have treated Du Gong badly, because of my disability, he is willing to risk his life to help me ascend to the throne of the Son of Heaven." Although you are a servant, you live a simple life, and you work hard for state affairs every day. ”

"When you lose it, you don't know how to cherish it." Yuan Ziyan sighed, turned around and asked, "Shimin, Master Du has already left, this is an irreversible fact. If you really want to do something for Master Du, then accumulate virtue and do good deeds for him! ”

"I have this intention, and I built a temple in his hometown, but not an ancestral hall for him." Li Shimin said immediately.

Yuan Ziyan shook his head slightly, and said: "The gods bless the ethereal, if Lord Du knows about it, I don't want you to spend money for him." ”

"Ziyan, in your opinion, what should you do?"

Before he died, Master Du said that he was burned inside, and his back seemed to be broken. Your Majesty, if someone makes a mistake in the world today, there will be a punishment of whipping and beating. Since hitting here will hurt the liver qi and so on, why not waive this punishment? ”

Hearing this, Li Shimin's eyes lit up, it was indeed a good idea, not only to comfort the dead, but also to govern the world with benevolence. After Li Shimin returned to the palace, he implemented this decree, and the response was of course positive and enthusiastic, and he thanked the monarch for his kindness. The depression in Li Shimin's heart was relaxed, and his mood gradually calmed down.

Of course, the relationship between the two is back to the same as before, although it is not as vigorous as when they were young, but they are like relatives, and no one can do without anyone.

This year, there was a bumper harvest of grain in Kannai, and the displaced people also returned to their former homes to start a new life. The law is strict, the people are self-disciplined, and less than 30 death row prisoners were executed in the first half of the year.

The Turks were submissive, and the rest of the ethnic minorities were not in trouble, and Li Shimin was called the Heavenly Khan, which means the co-ruler of the world, with extremely high prestige. Li Shimin's means of winning the hearts of the people is not only to take care of the ethnic minorities in the world, there are many tombs of princes, princesses, concubines and other tombs near the famous Zhaoling Tomb, which is quite normal, and there are several tombs of ethnic minority generals inside, which has never been seen in the layout of the tombs of feudal emperors.

Life is a family, and death is also a family.

The rapid rise of Datang as the richest and most powerful country in East Asia attracted people from many countries to send huge delegations to Datang, hoping to learn from China's advanced ideology and culture and learn from the complete legal provisions.

After Du Ruhui died of illness, Li Shimin did not think too much about it, so he let the eldest grandson Wuji take over the position of Shangshu's right servant.

And not long after, Li Shimin received an anonymous secret letter, which said that the eldest grandson Wuji was too favored, and he was the queen's brother, his relatives were in power, and the beginning of the national turmoil.

"Ziyan, this secret letter was secretly instructed by you?" Li Shimin called Yuan Ziyan and put the letter in front of her unhappily.

Yuan Ziyan glanced at it disapprovingly, and said with a smile: "The eldest grandson Wuji is a big move, relying on his sister to be the queen, the official road is free, and the progress is high, of course, it will cause many people to be dissatisfied." ”

"Although the auxiliary machine is promoted a little quickly, it has made countless contributions to Datang, and it deserves it." Li Shimin insisted.

"The people of the world, the rice must be eaten one bite at a time, and the road must be walked step by step. Of course, this official has to come little by little. No matter how capable the eldest grandson Wuji is, he will become the right servant now, and in the future, if he makes a contribution, will he still be crowned king? Yuan Ziyan asked rhetorically.

"Of course not."

"Shimin, to be honest, I did not write this letter. Let's talk about everything, if you have any suggestions, I'll just say it, there's no need to do these tricks behind your back. Judging from the sharpness of this font and the sharpness of the words, most of them are unambitious poor children. Yuan Ziyan analyzed.

"It makes sense, but these poor children are also too pedantic, always seeing other people's glamour, but not seeing their contributions." Li Shimin said disdainfully.

"That's a bit too much." Yuan Ziyan frowned and waved his hand: "Eldest Sun Wuji is a little talented, but looking at Datang, it is not impossible to find a second one." There is no doubt that if he were not the queen's own brother, he would never have risen so fast. ”

After some discussion, Li Shimin also secretly regretted that he had indeed promoted the eldest grandson Wuji too quickly, and when he reached Du Ruhui's age, Datang was afraid that there would be no official position to reward, and if he became the king, he would dominate one side in the future, and there would be endless troubles.

"So far, I can only pay more attention to it in the future." Li Shimin said.

"Why wait until later, you can remove him from his official position now, in a word, I think the people and those poor children will be grateful to you." Yuan Ziyan suggested.

"To put it lightly, you have no jokes, since the reward has been awarded, and the eldest grandson Wuji has also borne it, how can I speak?" Li Shimin resolutely disagreed.

"Hehe, what's so difficult about this, let the eldest grandson Wuji take the initiative to resign."

After speaking, Yuan Ziyan said this and this in Li Shimin's ear, Li Shimin laughed, and said that Yuan Ziyan was clever.

On this day, the eldest grandson queen was practicing calligraphy in the main hall, there was no bead hairpin decoration on her head, she was wearing a plain dress, and she had the same plain face, and suddenly heard that Her Majesty had arrived, and she was so shocked that she hurriedly put down the brush in her hand.

However, after hurriedly taking a few steps, Empress Changsun suddenly turned back, saying that she wanted to freshen up and dress up, and sent someone to ask Her Majesty to wait for a while.

After Li Shimin entered the palace, only the palace people hurriedly greeted him, and when he inquired, he knew that his daughter-in-law had changed her clothes, and she couldn't help frowning slightly. Empress Changsun is a person who pays great attention to etiquette, and when she goes out, she is naturally dressed neatly and neatly, and her innovative clothes also look graceful and luxurious, with exquisite makeup, and she can't see the slightest haggard appearance, and she is full of style.

I don't know how long it has been, Li Shimin can't remember what Empress Changsun looked like when she first entered the palace, but he just remembered that she smiled, like a cool breeze blowing into her chest in the cool summer, which made people feel refreshed. And every time we meet, we dress up to each other, even if we sleep together at night, we take off our clothes in an orderly manner and stack them neatly aside, and before going to sleep, I work tirelessly to put on long pajamas and wrap the whole body tightly.

There are also factors in this regard, Li Shimin always feels that being with Empress Changsun is too restrained and serious, so he gradually comes to her less often.

After a full two quarters of an hour, I saw the newly dressed Empress Eldest Sun hurriedly come out of the inner room, and when she saw Li Shimin, she bowed her head and shouted three long live.

"Hehe, you and I have been married for many years, why be polite, please get up quickly." Li Shimin, who felt very disappointed, smiled and helped his wife up, took her hand and sat down.

"Your Majesty has something to announce that the concubines are in the meeting, even if you send someone to say it in advance, see if the concubines are busy." Empress Eldest Sun said angrily.

"Hehe, I think the queen's plain face is fresh and beautiful, but under the heavy makeup, I can't see the original face." Li Shimin looked at it a few times and said. (To be continued......)
