Dada!

The dust was flying, the horse's hooves were about to smoke, and Li Shimin finally returned to Chang'an!

Along the way, he asked the queen and a cadre of civil and military personnel to return slowly according to the original plan, while he took Xu Fenglei, Fang Xuanling, Wei Chigong, Cheng Yanjin and other fierce generals, plus a forbidden army cavalry to rush back to Chang'an!

When I went, it took three months.

It only took 20 days to come back!

Of course, seven or eight horses were changed along the way, and the hip bones were about to crack......

Chang'an, Du Fu.

"Phew—"

Li Shimin turned over and dismounted, and went straight to the house.

Du Fu Jiading saw a black shadow break in and was about to stop him, but when he saw the face of the person who came, the whole person was stunned.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty is here! ”

"Master, Your Majesty has returned from Mount Tai, and he rushed back to see you!"

In an instant, everyone inside and outside the Du Mansion ran out and greeted him:

"See Your Majesty!"

"No courtesy, no courtesy!"

Li Shimin raised his hand again and again, although his expression was a little tired, he still said excitedly,

"What about Ruhui?"

"Where is he now? Take me to see him! ”

"Slave, I'll take you there!" The maid got up and led Li Shimin to walk quickly to the inner courtyard.

At the same time, Xu Fenglei and others behind him were worthy of dismounting.

"Ouch, ouch......"

Fang Xuanling, an old bone, has been running around for so long, his eyes are dizzy, and he can't get off the horse.

It had to be Wei Chigong and Cheng Yanjin who worked together to hug him down.

The moment he dismounted, his legs were already weak.

"Well, what are you doing with your old man?"

Cheng Yanjin helped him and said helplessly,

"Running back for thousands of miles, we are a little unbearable as military generals, let alone you?"

"Come on, slow down...... I guess your internal organs are shattered, and your muscles are torn......"

When Fang Xuanling heard this, he shook his head.

"Old friends for many years...... I'm with him, old friends for many years......"

He looked at the gate of Du Mansion and said softly,

"He's really leaving, and if I don't see him for the last time, I'll regret it for the rest of my life."

Cheng bit Jin's nose and soured.

This friendship is stronger than gold!

"Okay, good, come ......"

He and Wei Chigong supported the crumbling Fang Xuanling together, and said,

"Let's go."

Xu Fenglei looked at this scene, and he also felt a little in his heart.

Fang Du's friendship is also a friendship that has been uploaded to history as a beautiful conversation!

He followed the three of them and also stepped into the Du Mansion.

Looking at this familiar courtyard, there is an indescribable feeling in my heart.

……

In the wing, a smell entered Xu Fenglei's nose.

It's a sick smell, and it's the kind of person who has been sick for a long time.

And at this moment, Du Ruhui has a very strong smell on his body, and he has even moved towards the smell of death......

"Keming, Keming!"

Li Shimin sat on the matza and held Du Ruhui's hand tightly on the sickbed, his eyes were already red.

I only heard him choke and say:

"You...... How did you get to this? ”

Du Ruhui's face seemed to be covered with a layer of gray-white yarn, and his lips were no longer bloodless.

The hands were also cold and cold, and I couldn't feel the hot blood surging in them.

"Master, master......"

"Wake up, wake up...... Your Majesty, he has come to see you, Your Majesty, he is here......"

"Wake up, ......"

Du's wife on the side had tears in her eyes, crying and calling.

Under the call of the two, Du Ruhui's lips moved slightly, and those eyes finally opened a slit.

It's just that those eyes are no longer as bright and decisive as they were at the beginning, and they are full of turbidity.

"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty. ”

He turned his head slightly, and said intermittently,

"You...... Tired, you ......"

He knew that His Majesty should still be sealing Zen at this time, and it must have been for him to rush back so quickly.

Li Shimin shook his head again and again.

"Not burdened, not burdened."

He hurriedly encouraged,

"As long as you can recover, it's worth it even if I make a few more trips!"

"Take care of your illness, Keming! I don't want to lose you......"

Although Du Ruhui no longer cares about political affairs, in Li Shimin's heart, he still occupies an extremely important position!

No one else can replace it! Even if you can't come up with any more ideas.

It's good if you're here.

"Thank you...... Your Majesty Xie......"

Du Ruhui arched his hand with difficulty, and said with a reluctant smile,

"The old minister is ashamed...... It can no longer be divided for His Majesty...... Share the worries. ”

"Your Majesty, please...... Forgiveness. ”

Li Shimin frowned.

"Nonsense! You can, you can recover! ”

He scolded, clenched Du Ruhui's hand again, and choked up,

"We haven't officially become a family of children yet...... No matter how you are, you have to see that after Du He marries Runan, then ...... again."

"Alas! You......"

At this point, Li Er couldn't go on.

Xu Fenglei handed over a cotton towel in time and asked him to wipe his tears.

Fang Xuanling also came up, staring at Du Ruhui with a complicated expression.

"It's all here...... I, the people I wanted to see in the end, came......"

"Good, that's good......"

Du Ru laughed faintly, and his eyes suddenly brightened.

Without needing support, he straightened up on his own,

When everyone present saw this, their hearts trembled!

This...... Is this a return to the light?!

"Kemin! You ......"

Fang Xuanling's eyes widened, and he said blankly,

"You don't want to ......"

Du Ruhui shook his head.

"Old friend."

He chuckled,

"I'm sorry, I ...... Be lazy and go first. ”

"In the future, it will be up to you and other colleagues to assist Your Majesty......"

When Fang Xuanling heard this, he was stunned and couldn't say a word.

Instead, Du Ruhui's gaze looked at Xu Fenglei.

"Taishi ......"

Xu Fenglei's expression was extremely complicated, nodded lightly, and said in a deep voice:

"If you have anything to say, just explain, as long as I can do it, I will agree!"

Du Ruhui grinned.

"I can't repay you for your life-saving grace at the beginning, how dare I explain anything?"

He whispered,

"I just want to say sorry to the Taishi, all these years, I have spoken about it, and I have never really repaid you, even if it was to invite you to a meal."

Keming ...... Shame on you! ”

Xu Fenglei's nose was also sour.

This Du Ruhui will never forget his kindness.

"Sorry what? It was really just a gesture at first. ”

He answered,

"Don't take it too seriously, when you're better, I'll treat you to dinner!"

Du Ruhui laughed.

Xu Fenglei couldn't help but wipe the corners of his eyes.

"Your Majesty."

His gaze was finally fixed on Li Shimin.

The suddenly bright eyes also suddenly dimmed at this moment.

His body went limp, and he collapsed on the sickbed again.

"Old minister...... I can no longer serve His Majesty......"

His eyes slowly closed, and he muttered,

"Potency ......"

"The old minister is gone...... Belch! ”

There was a shock, which caused the three people in front of the sickbed to be shocked, and hurriedly went up to grab Du Ruhui's arm.

"Keming, Keming!"

"Du Ruhui! Wake up, wake up! ”

"Wake up!"

However, no matter how hard they shook, Du Ruhui seemed to fall asleep, and he couldn't hear the call anymore.

Originally, Du Ruhui could still stay because he still had something to think in his heart and that obsession.

Before he died, he wanted to see His Majesty, his old friend Fang Xuanling, and his benefactor Xu Fenglei.

And at the moment.

When the three of them saw it, he was satisfied, his obsession dissipated, and he naturally left.

"Master!!"

"Woo woo woo ......"

Du's wife whimpered and cried.

Tang Laiguo Duke Du Ruhui, in April of the fifth year of Zhenguan, Xu.

He was 47 years old.

Outside the house, I don't know when, I have already knelt down a large area!

Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling were also rendered by this pathos and couldn't help crying.

"Spread My Will ......"

Li Shimin got up slowly, endured grief and ordered,

"Posthumously crowned the Duke of Laiguo Du Ruhui as commonplace, and the funeral was ...... Perform it with princely courtesy! ”

For a while, the sound of weeping came and went.

Li Shimin's mind was dizzy, and the whole person fell backwards.

He's so tired!

Du Ruhui has an obsession, and he is also using an obsession to rush back.

Seeing this side, Du Ruhui was relieved, Li Shimin was sad, and under this physical and mental exhaustion, he finally couldn't support it and fell down!

"Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty!"

Wei Chigong and Cheng Yanjin hurriedly supported him, walked towards the outside of the mansion, and went straight to the palace.

This Du Ruhui's death is sad enough, if Your Majesty has something more long and two short, it will really change the sky!

"Alas......"

Fang Xuanling helped his forehead, and he also felt dizzy.

Fortunately, Xu Fenglei held him up in time.

"Fang Xiang, you're tired too."

He sighed softly,

"Let's go, go back to the palace with Your Majesty, and sleep with him first."

"The Si people are gone...... After that, talk about it later, and don't wear yourself out. ”

“…… There is Master Lao. Fang Xuanling bowed slightly, and his eyelids had already begun to fight.

……

Half an hour later.

Taiji Palace, outside the emperor's bedroom.

Li Shimin was already asleep under the care of the imperial doctor.

Under his instruction, Fang Xuanling was placed in the side hall to rest, and Cheng Yanjin and Wei Chigong also rested in the side hall.

Xu Fenglei didn't want to sleep so much at the moment, so he walked out, sat on the steps, and lit a cigarette.

In his heart, it was very uncomfortable.

There is a very complicated feeling that spreads in my heart.

Come to think of it...... Last year, Du Ruhui was similar to a 'sudden heart attack', if he hadn't acted in time, his life would have been explained.

And Du Ruhui in history did die of illness in Zhenguan four years ago.

It's good to be able to survive until now, at least for one more year......

Can......

Is it really just one more year to live?

In the depths of Xu Fenglei's heart, he was proud, he was very proud when he rescued Du Ruhui from the hands of the king of Hades, and he thought that he had changed history.

But actually.

In the past year, Du Ruhui has not asked about political affairs at all, and has been lying at home to recuperate.

He no longer contributed to the political affairs of Datang, and no longer promoted the reform and optimization of policies......

A year later, his life had come to an end.

History...... Has it changed?

No.

What he did was just a slight shift in history, and that shift was as insignificant as a pebble jumping on the road.

In just a few moments, the car was back on track and everything was ...... As if it never happened.

This couldn't help but make Xu Fenglei feel a little frustrated.

His self-confidence was also consumed.

For the Tang Dynasty to continue for another hundred years...... Can the original ambition really be fulfilled?

The meaning of their existence...... What exactly?

Although he has crossed over, he doesn't have a golden finger and can't do those things against the sky.

He also doesn't have an engineering mind, and he can't rely on his own head to create tools that change productivity.

He doesn't even have the math level of nine years of compulsory education! Because of the many years of work, many of them have been returned to the teacher, and I only remember some of the most basic ......

He is an ordinary person, an ordinary numerologist.

What he can do is to rely on some of his own experience, some memories, to plant seeds, because he does not have the ability to obtain the fruit directly.

The rest, really can't do anything, he can't even make soap.

It seems to be made of animal oil, and what is it added?

Maybe I learned it before, but I can't remember it clearly......

Now think about it...... As a traverser, what can't I do, I seem to be quite a failure.

"Whew-"

One puff after another, Xu Fenglei didn't know how many puffs he smoked before he could walk out with that emo feeling.

Before you know it, the sky is dark.

He sat outside the dormitory all night!

An early morning cold wind whistled, Xu Fenglei shrunk his robe, and the feeling of tiredness and sleepiness rushed like a wave.

As soon as his eyes were closed, he fell down the steps and fell into a deep sleep.

……

I don't know how long it took.

Xu Fenglei slowly opened his eyes, only feeling that he was in a very soft and warm place.

Looking left and right, the brocade quilt dragon bed ......

？！

Didn't you keep vigil outside? How did you get inside?

Look at what this place looks like...... It's not a side hall, it seems to be the emperor's bedroom!

With a stirring in his heart, he hurriedly got up and lifted the quilt, but suddenly heard a voice:

"Awake? Sleep a little longer, it's tiring. ”

The sound is familiar.

Following the voice, Xu Fenglei saw Li Shimin, who was sitting in front of the imperial case, wearing a single shirt and a single pants.

At this moment, he is holding a red pen and flipping through the folds.

Wipe!

Why did you fall into Li Shimin's place, lying on the dragon bed that the emperor is qualified to lie on?!

"This ...... Your Majesty. ”

"Capital crime, capital crime!"

Thinking of this, where did he still feel sleepy, he hurriedly got up and put on his shoes, and muttered again and again,

"Your Majesty, this is not what I wanted to do! I may have a confused mind, I was not me at that time, so his behavior has nothing to do with me! ”

Li Shimin glanced at him.

"Don't panic, I told them to carry you in."

He said in a deep voice, "If you don't go to rest and make up for sleep there, go outside to guard what kind of hall will I have." ”

"I've never seen you so loyal before."

Xu Fenglei: "......"

Guarding the temple?

You're thinking too much.

I'm just just a little emo and can't sleep and smoke outside......
