Du Ruhui has passed away! When the news came out, the entire Tang Dynasty and the opposition were also mourned, and Li Shimin went to Du's mansion to mourn in person, and brought Li Chengqian, as well as Du Ruhui's prospective daughter-in-law, Princess Chengyang, it is said that when Li Shimin mourned that day, he couldn't help crying bitterly.

Li Xiu also went to Du's mansion to mourn, he also admired Du Ruhui very much, especially in terms of government affairs, only Fang Xuanling in the entire Tang Dynasty could compare with him, but unfortunately Li Xiu could only save Du Ruhui once, after all, the other party's health was not very good, and it was not easy to live for so many more years.

In fact, for Du Ruhui's death, although Li Xiu felt sad, but he was not surprised when he calmed down, after all, Du Ruhui's health was not good for a day or two, the last time he went to Mount Tai to seal Zen, Du Ruhui was unable to go because of illness, but they only came back for a few months, Du Ruhui couldn't hold it and left, which made Li Xiu sigh.

It is worth mentioning that on the day Li Xiu went to Du Mansion to mourn, he also met Du Ruhui's younger brother Du Chuke, and Du Ruhui's son Du He, which is also interesting to say to his uncle and nephew, Du Chuke is Li Tai's henchman, and Du He is Li Chengqian's confidant, it can be said that each is his master, but this did not affect the personal relationship between their uncle and nephew, at least when Li Xiu saw the two of them, he found that their uncle and nephew's relationship seemed to be good, and Du Chuke was also busy helping to deal with family matters.

In addition, in addition to the people of the Du family in the mourning hall, there is also a very special person, that is, Fang Xuanling, who has a good relationship with Du Ruhui, since Du Ruhui died, Fang Xuanling first cried at home, and then rushed to Du's mansion, and then cried again in front of Du Ruhui's spirit, and then stayed in Du's house to help preside over Du Ruhui's funeral, when Li Xiu saw him, he found that Fang Xuanling's whole person had lost a lot of weight, which made Li Xiu worry about his body.

Just when Li Xiu finished his condolences and was about to say goodbye and leave, he didn't expect the eldest grandson Wuji to come to mourn, and he didn't leave in a hurry at the moment, but waited until the eldest grandson Wuji finished his condolences and left the Du Mansion with the other party.

"With Du Ruhui leaving, Your Majesty is like losing an arm, and there will be one less person who can share the pressure for Your Majesty in the future!" After leaving the Du Mansion, the eldest grandson Wuji also said with a low expression at this time, he is a very conceited person, and rarely praises others sincerely, but he sincerely admires Du Ruhui.

"There are talents in the country, I am not worried that no one will be able to take over Du Xiang's position, but Du Xiang is the old minister who accompanied His Majesty to fight the world, and now these old ministers are old, and many old ministers have passed away in recent years, and I am afraid that there will only be more and more in the future, which is the biggest blow to Your Majesty." Li Xiu sighed at this time, watching his friends and subordinates leave one by one, which was a little unacceptable to anyone.

"What you said makes sense, fortunately, both of us are relatively young, and we should be able to accompany Your Majesty for a few more years!" The eldest grandson Wuji nodded immediately, and then said with some joy.

Hearing the words of the eldest grandson Wuji, Li Xiu just smiled and did not speak, because although the words of the eldest grandson Wuji are good, they may not be a good thing, for example, if the two of them have no accidents, they should live longer than Li Shimin, and then the eldest grandson Wuji will also become a minister of life like in history, but with the character of the eldest grandson Wuji, in the end, it will only lead to the disaster of destroying him, after all, no emperor can tolerate the existence of a courtier who monopolizes power.

"By the way, I heard that His Royal Highness King Wu has come back before, but unfortunately I haven't seen him yet, he is a student of the concubine, he must have been to your mansion, right?" At this moment, I suddenly saw the eldest grandson Wuji change the topic.

Hearing the eldest grandson Wuji ask about Li Ke, Li Xiu's heart immediately became vigilant, but on the surface, he said quietly: "Ke'er is indeed back, and His Majesty personally wrote a letter to summon him back to Beijing to celebrate his birthday, it is estimated that His Majesty saw that he did well in Yangzhou, so he wanted to call him back and reward him personally!" ”

"Hehe, I don't think it's so simple, in the past few years, King Wei and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have been fighting endlessly, although Your Majesty doesn't say it, but you must be very bored in your heart, now King Wu is performing so well, Your Majesty naturally looks at him differently!" The eldest grandson Wuji had ulterior motives at this time.

"Your Majesty's thoughts are not clear to anyone, but Ke'er often goes to me, I know his thoughts very well, speaking of which he doesn't like Chang'an, he has always said that he wants to go back to Yangzhou, but no matter how much he wants to go back, he has to wait until His Majesty's birthday!" Li Xiu explained lightly at the moment.

"Why is King Wu in such a hurry to go back, Chang'an is the best place, although Yangzhou is known as Southern Chang'an, but after all, it can't be compared with the real Chang'an, and as a prince, he can take better care of His Majesty and his mother if he stays in Chang'an, after all, King Wei and the crown prince have been too disappointed by His Majesty in recent years." Eldest Sun Wuji asked with a smile again, if his words just now were just a temptation, then now his words are naked questioning.

"Brother Wuji, you don't know what Your Majesty thinks in your heart, Ke'er is young and ignorant, and sometimes it's not a big deal to be a little confused, let's be elders, just point them out on the side, why bother with juniors?" Li Xiu sighed at this time, and then solemnly looked at the eldest grandson Wuji and said, since the eldest grandson Wuji is no longer secretive, then he will also say it, no matter how Li Ke is also his own student, so he will not let others hurt Li Ke no matter what.

Seeing that Li Xiu was determined to protect Li Ke, the eldest grandson Wuji turned to smile and said: "Don't be angry, King Wu is my junior, I naturally won't get along with him, and if he goes to Yangzhou, even if I want to get along with him, I'm afraid I won't be able to find anyone!" ”

Hearing the words of the eldest grandson Wuji, Li Xiu breathed a sigh of relief, the reason why Li Ke was implicated in the rebellion of Princess Gaoyang and died in history, the most important of which was that the eldest grandson Wuji instigated it, so Li Ke also angrily scolded the eldest grandson Wuji for taking power before he died, and when the eldest grandson Wuji died, Li Ke was immediately rehabilitated, but now that he has his own protection, the eldest grandson Wuji does not dare to go too far.

Du Ruhui died, Li Shimin posthumously presented him as Sikong and Cai Guogong, nicknamed "Cheng", and Du Ruhui's funeral was funded by the imperial court, which is extremely sad for a courtier, and with the death of Du Ruhui, it seems to mark the end of a figure of the times, not long after Du Ruhui was buried, there was another important minister who couldn't afford to be sick!
