Lu Yijian fell ill, in fact, Lu Yijian's health has not been very good in the past two years, so many court governments have also fallen on Han Qi, these younger ministers, but this year Lu Yijian's health is particularly bad, and sometimes he can't go to the court for a few days, so Zhao Zhen authorized him to handle official business at home, and he didn't have to go to the political hall every day.

But for Lu Yijian, who is nearly seventy years old, his life has finally come to an end, since the beginning of winter, Lu Yijian's spirit has become more and more sluggish day by day, whether it is the imperial doctor in the palace or the medical school, they all agreed after discussion that with Lu Yijian's physical condition, I am afraid it will be difficult to survive this winter.

If Liu E is counted, Lu Yijian can be called a veteran of the three dynasties and the prime minister of the two dynasties, and although there were many controversies when he was in power, no one can deny his merits, especially Zhao Zhen, with his assistance, not only governed the Great Song Dynasty in an orderly manner, but also recovered Yanyun and defeated the party, which is enough to make him one of the most famous prime ministers of the Great Song Dynasty.

Zhao Zhen was also very concerned about Lu Yijian's condition, not only visited Lu Mansion several times, but also asked the imperial doctor to stay in Lu Yijian's mansion, and always reported Lu Yijian's physical condition to the palace, and even Zhao Zhen also recruited famous doctors from the people to treat Lu Yijian, but for a person whose life has come to an end, no matter how many medicinal stones are useless.

On this morning, Li Zhang also came to visit Lu Yijian with a heavy heart, in fact, he had come to visit several times before, and several times he still came with Zhao Zhen, and now Lu Yijian can no longer handle government affairs, but he is still willing to listen to what happened in the court, and sometimes his opinions will be sent to Zhao Zhen for his reference.

When Li Zhang came to the Lu Mansion, Lu Yijian's third son Lu Gongshu also personally greeted him, this Lu Gongzhu will also be a prime minister in the future, but now he is only in his twenties, a few years ago because of Lu Yijian's grace to make up for Fenglilang, but he was soon admitted to the Jinshi, originally the imperial court recruited him to serve in the Zhaowen Pavilion, but because Lu Yijian's health was not good, so he did not take office, but took care of his father at home.

"How is Lu Gong's health?" Li Zhang and Lu Gongshu are also very familiar with each other, and they are not polite when they see each other, but directly ask about Lu Yijian's physical condition.

"Today, my father's spirit is good, and he drank half a bowl of porridge in the morning, and now he is resting in the warm pavilion!" Lu Gongzhu was also quite happy at this time, Lu Yijian was seriously ill during this time, which made the atmosphere in the Lu Mansion quite heavy, and Lu Yijian's condition seemed to have improved in the past two days, which made them very happy for the younger generations.

Li Zhang immediately followed Lu Gongzhu into the house, and when he saw Lu Yijian, he found that the other party was lying in the warm pavilion, this warm pavilion was also specially built, the top was covered with transparent glass, which could let the sunlight shine down, and Lu Yijian was lying on a recliner covered with blankets basking in the sun, although the whole person was very thin, but his complexion looked good.

"Father, the Marquis of Dingbei has come to visit you!" I saw that after Lu Gong entered the warm pavilion, he quickly came to Lu Yijian's side and whispered.

Lu Yijian immediately opened his eyes when he heard his son's words, and when he saw Li Zhang coming in, he immediately smiled, and even wanted to sit up, but Li Zhang stepped forward to support him and said, "Lu Gong, you are lying down, I just want to chat with you this time." ”

Hearing Li Zhang's words, Lu Yijian also gave up the idea of sitting up, and immediately pointed to the chair next to him and said, "Li Zhang, sit down, I heard that the Liao army has destroyed Goryeo, how is the situation now?" ”

Although Lu Yijian was sick, he was still concerned about the affairs of the court, which made Li Zhang smile helplessly: "Duke Lu doesn't have to worry, although Goryeo is destroyed, the king of Goryeo is still in our hands, and during this time, we have also been using the threat of King Gaochang to encourage the Goryeo people to resist and try to consume the strength of the Liao army." ”

"It's so good, it's just that Goryeo is destroyed, and the Liao State will have one less containment, which may bring us some trouble in the future!" I saw that Lu Yijian coughed lightly twice at this time and said again, as if he was a little exhausted, and Lu Gongzhu next to him also hurriedly handed his father warm water and served him to drink a few sips.

Looking at Lu Yijian's gray hair and beard, as well as the deep wrinkles on his face, Li Zhang couldn't help but sigh, and immediately talked about the Great Song Dynasty's attack on the Liao State again, which made Lu Yijian feel at ease, what he was most afraid of was that Zhao Zhen was too contemptuous of the Liao State and wanted to finish the battle, but now it seems that Zhao Zhen still chose a more secure way.

Seeing that Lu Yijian no longer asked about the court, Li Zhang also relaxed at the moment, and then chatted with Lu Yijian, and Lu Yijian also seemed to know that Li Zhang didn't want him to bother about the court's affairs anymore, so he chatted along with Li Zhang's words.

"Li Zhang, you said that if it was a hundred years later, future generations would say this about me as the prime minister?" Lu Yijian suddenly changed the topic, and asked Li Zhang with a very serious face.

"This ...... Lu Gong went through the first emperor, the queen mother and His Majesty, and especially assisted His Majesty to create a prosperous era, and recovered Yanyun to complete the work that Taizu and Taizong failed to complete, I think future generations will definitely compare Lu Gong with the Han King who helped Taizu and Taizong to create the foundation of the Great Song Dynasty! ”

King Han refers to Zhao Pu, the founding minister of the Great Song Dynasty, who once assisted Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Guangyi, two brothers, and was posthumously presented as the king of Han after his death.

Hearing Li Zhang compare himself with Zhao Pu, Lu Yijian showed a rather complicated smile, and then shook his head and said: "With the founding of King Zhao Han, there are still people behind his back who say that he is narrow-minded and can't tolerate people, not to mention that I am a person who is full of shortcomings, not to mention anything else, just acting domineering has attracted many people to scold me, and even some people say that I am arbitrary, jealous and jealous, I may not dare to say these things when I am alive, but if I die, I don't know how these people will scold me?" ”

"How can my father say that, your achievements are obvious to all, and who dares to talk about you behind your back?" Lu Gongzhuo next to him couldn't help but persuade at this time.

However, Li Zhang did not speak, because he knew that what Lu Yijian said was the truth, no one is perfect, although Lu Yijian had great merits, it was also a fact that he acted domineeringly, and he had offended many officials, such as Wang Zeng, Li Di and others, and even the younger generation of Ouyang Xiu and others also disliked him very much, scolding him for being in power for 20 years but ruining the world, and the evaluation of Lu Yijian in later history is also mixed.
