After Li Jianguo took over the errand ordered by Li Shimin, he left the palace. Along the way, Li Jianguo was also thinking about what problems to solve in order to attract more customers.

"Let's not come up with a couplet!" Li Jianguo turned his head and thought again, "I don't know if the people of the Tang Dynasty understand the right pair, but I'm afraid that tomorrow I will have to explain more." ”

Li Jianguo shook his head helplessly and walked slowly. It has been two months since he came to the Tang Dynasty unconsciously, and Li Jianguo has completely integrated into this dynasty, and even became a member of the imperial court. Thinking of these things at this moment, Li Jianguo was also embarrassed.

When Li Jianguo was about to walk out of Chengtianmen, he met Du Ruhui, who was about to enter the palace.

"Lord Du." Li Jianguo stepped forward and said hello.

Du Ruhui saw that it was Li Jianguo, and he also smiled back, "It turned out to be Master Li, what's the matter, did you just come back from the emperor?" ”

Li Jianguo nodded, "Well, I just entered the palace to report to the emperor about the patrol camp, and I have completed the handover with General Qin, and this matter can be regarded as a successful settlement." ”

"Okay, Lord Li's ideas are always endless, and they are so unique, it's really terrifying!" Du Ruhui said with emotion.

Li Jianguo bowed his hand, "Lord Du has won the award, if it weren't for the original scientific examination, Lord Du strongly recommended it in front of the emperor, how could there be a younger generation today." ”

Du Ruhui waved his hand and said with a smile: "The old man has just done his duty, the key is that you have your own talent and learning, and all this is your creation." ”

"Master Du, are you going to enter the palace?" Li Jianguo changed the topic and asked.

"Ahem...... Du Ruhui coughed twice and replied: "Yes, the old man is ready to ask the emperor for his resignation." ”

"Resign? Why? Li Jianguo asked with a surprised expression.

Du Ruhui sighed, a pair of cloudy eyes revealed endless vicissitudes, and his face was yellow and bloodless.

"The old lady is old, and her physical condition is not as good as before, and she has been even more powerless recently, and I am afraid that the deadline is not far away. Therefore, I would like to ask the emperor to allow me to spend the rest of my life at home. ”

After listening to Du Ruhui's words, Li Jianguo's eyes were gloomy. Li Jianguo also has a good impression of Du Ruhui, all because he had a conversation with him in the examination room during the scientific examination, and then Du Ruhui strongly recommended himself in front of Li Shimin. Nowadays, it is naturally a little sad.

"Lord Du has worked hard all his life and worked hard for the Tang Dynasty, which is admired by the younger generations."

"Hehe, as an official should naturally be. However, the burden on your shoulders will become heavier and heavier in the future, you have to work hard, don't let the old man down. Du Ruhui patted Li Jianguo's shoulder, and a faint smile appeared on his thin cheeks, which looked extraordinarily kind.

Li Jianguo nodded heavily, "Don't worry, Lord Du, the juniors will definitely do my best to serve Datang, and I will never live up to Lord Du's expectations." ”

"That's good, okay, it's time for the old man to enter the palace. You should also hurry home, and by the way, say hello to Fang Xuanling for me. After Du Ruhui finished speaking, he didn't linger and walked in the direction of the Taiji Palace.

Li Jianguo stood in place for a long time, staring blankly at Du Ruhui's departing back, and after a while, he came back to his senses, shook his head helplessly, and walked towards the exit of the imperial city.

Fangfu, Li Jianguo returned home, Fang Xuanling was entertaining guests in the front hall, and the person who came was the eldest grandson Wuji.

"Father, I'm back." After speaking, Li Jianguo also said hello to the eldest grandson Wuji, "Lord eldest grandson." ”

Fang Xuanling saw Li Jianguo, got up and said, "Jianguo is back, have you done everything the emperor ordered?" ”

"Yes, I have already talked carefully with General Qin, and General Qin said that he can take office immediately." Li Jianguo replied.

"Okay, that's good, come, sit down. Just now, the eldest grandson mentioned you in front of me. Fang Xuanling said with a smile.

Li Jianguo looked at the eldest grandson Wuji, and said with a smile: "What advice does the eldest grandson have, the younger generation listens to the teachings." ”

"I can't talk about advice, you are now a big celebrity in front of the emperor, and you have outstanding abilities, but you are much stronger than us old ministers." The eldest grandson Wuji laughed.

"The eldest grandson has a good reputation, and the younger generation still has a lot to learn from your predecessors." Li Jianguo replied modestly, then turned to Fang Xuanling and said, "Father, I just met Lord Du Ruhui near Chengtianmen, and Lord Du is going to ask the emperor for his resignation. ”

"Resign?" Not only Fang Xuanling asked with a puzzled expression, but even the eldest grandson Wuji on the side was puzzled.

"Yes." Li Jianguo carefully told Fang Xuanling the reason for Du Ruhui's resignation. After Fang Xuanling and the eldest grandson Wuji heard this, they both sighed.

"Alas, Du Ruhui has been busy for so many years, and now it's time to recuperate at home. It's just that according to his temperament, he shouldn't be so easy to resign, and it seems that his health has been getting worse and worse recently. Fang Xuanling was a little sad, after all, he and Du Ruhui have been old friends for many years, and they assisted Li Shimin together, and the two have long been Li Shimin's right-hand man, and their relationship is extraordinary.

"Yes, Du Ruhui is deeply trusted by the emperor. Whenever the emperor hesitates, he will fight for the emperor. The eldest grandson Wuji's tone also revealed a bit of respect.

"Well, it seems that I will have to pay a visit to his house in the next few days. After all, I recommended him to the emperor at the beginning, and he has done his best over the years, otherwise he would not have been left sick. Fang Xuanling sighed, a little reluctant in his heart.

The eldest grandson Wuji also nodded in agreement, "This is reasonable, I will go with you another day." ”

Fang Xuanling nodded, looked at Li Jianguo, and said, "Jianguo, you can go with us another day!" ”

"Okay, anyway, Lord Du is also kind to me. On that day, he highly recommended me in front of the emperor, and I remember this kindness in my heart. Li Jianguo said sincerely.

"Master Li is young and promising, and in less than two months since he took office, he has already convinced everyone in the Manchu Dynasty. Codifying the law and setting up a patrol battalion are two things that are quite beautiful, and it is really worthy of your name to hold the position of Shang Shuling. The eldest grandson Wuji looked at Li Jianguo and exclaimed.

"Lord Eldest Sun really tormented me when he said this, these are just the duties of officials. Since the emperor appointed me to the post of Shang Shuling, I naturally can't live up to the emperor's expectations, otherwise I will really be ashamed of the emperor, my father and Lord Du. Li Jianguo was extremely honest, and every word he said came from the heart, which also made the eldest grandson Wuji look sideways.
