The palace gate is wide open!

This move is extremely unruly. Li Shimin, who has been riding a white horse, rushed out first, followed by a team of guards. Judging from this posture, it seemed that he had returned to the style of General Tiance back then.

The imperial carriage followed behind, and the imperial carriage was too slow and Li Shimin couldn't wait.

He knew Du Ruhui's character, and if he had not been dying, he would never have sent anyone to inform him. And even if he had something to say and had something to entrust him, he would not have trouble.

Li Shimin knew that he was waiting for him and he must have something to say.

This strategist who has been following him since Jinyang started his army. He is taciturn, but as soon as he opens his mouth, he makes a decision.

On the contrary, Fang Xuanling. When encountering problems, Fang Xuanling can always put forward insightful opinions and specific methods. He can come up with seven or eight ideas in the blink of an eye, but often cannot make a decision. At this time, Du Ruhui must be invited. When Du Ruhui comes, he analyzes the problem slightly and can immediately choose the best one from Fang Xuanling's opinions and methods, and always hits the point.

The two cooperated and complemented each other, which led to the story of "Fang Form and Duan".

After Li Shimin ascended the throne, the two of them were granted the title of Shangshu Pushe. Fang Xuanling was Shangshu Pushe, and Du Ruhui was Shangshu's right Pushe. His official positions were comparable and equal. In the eyes of everyone, the two were on the same side, regardless of the superiority. However, only Li Shimin himself knew in his heart that Du Ruhui would be better than Fang Xuanling in strategy. The more important strategist in his heart was Du Ruhui!

Planning is important, but doing it starts with decision. Fang Xuanling is very good at planning, but if he cannot implement it, it is just a matter of talking about it. At this time, talents who can only show their decision are particularly precious.

The horse galloped, constantly shortening the distance between the king and the minister. Li Shimin's mind was also passing through his past and Du Ruhui.

Plow down Xue Rengao, Liu Wuzhou, Wang Shichong, Dou Jiande's rebellion, and took charge of the troops of the Qin King's Mansion...

He remembered that night, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui who were expelled from the capital, Yi Zhuangcheng Taoist returned to Chang'an late at night, planning the Xuanwu Gate for him, contacting all the military generals, making him firm in his confidence, launch a coup, and ascend to the throne of the emperor.

After many times of hesitation, it was Du Ruhui's decision that reversed the situation. Li Shimin didn't dare to think about whether he would still be today without Du Ruhui being by his side!

And now, this person is about to die.

At the beginning of the year, they were still planning an attack on the Turks. He was still healthy at that time. When the army entered the Turks, he became sick. The disease came so urgently and so quickly, and his health was getting worse and worse, and it was difficult to cure medicine. The imperial doctors said that he could not live for half a year.

Even if Sun Simiao came to treat him, he would only let him live for two more months.

Today, is it time to part?

A heart-wrenching pain hit Li Shimin's mind and made his eyes red! At this moment, he felt resentment soaring into the sky. I am the emperor, the emperor, and the world belongs to me. Why can't I keep a confidant official?

If everything is not satisfactory, what is the use of being this emperor?

In front of me was Du Ruhui's mansion. Li Shimin tied the reins and jumped off the horse's back. Du Ruhui's housekeeper stood at the door waiting. When he saw Li Shimin dismounting, he wanted to salute. Li Shimin waved his hand, ignored him, and rushed straight to the back house with great strides.

Crying sounds endlessly, Li Shimin heard them and felt even more depressed.

"Keming! I'm here!" Li Shimin rushed to the door and shouted first. On the sickbed, Du Ruhui, who was explaining the funeral with his eldest son, heard Li Shimin's voice, and his eyes were blurred in tears.

He raised his hand weakly and said to his son and wife, "I have explained all the funerals afterwards. You all go out and let me and His Majesty say a few more words..."

The family members shed tears. Under the leadership of Du Ruhui's eldest son Du Gou, they kowtowed heavily and cried out to the house, leaving the last time to the king and his subjects.

Li Shimin came to the edge of the collapse and held Du Ruhui's skinny arm tortured by illness. Looking at his skinny appearance, he could no longer control himself and tears fell down.

Du Ruhui wanted to raise his hand to help Li Shimin wipe away tears, but he could no longer do it. His face was filled with a spirit that was more energetic than a healthy person. Li Shimin had been accustomed to death throughout his life. He knew that Du Ruhui had already come back and had not had much time left.

"Because of my affairs, Your Majesty has shed tears. As a minister, I am extremely ashamed."

"Keming, what are you and me doing? Why do you still do this after you take the medicine of a miracle doctor?"

"Ha..." Du Ruhui sighed and said, "Your Majesty, when your life is over, this is the will of heaven and cannot be resisted by human power. Perhaps it is because I have too many people calculating in this life, so I should have such retribution."

Li Shimin cried even louder, and he naturally knew that the people Du Ruhui plotted against were his enemies. If God really did this, Du Ruhui would die for him.

"Your Majesty, I have to take a step first. Before leaving, I still have some thoughts-"

"You said, no matter what, I promise you!"

"I'm two months ago, then, the memorial..." Du Ruhui's breath was already a little confused, but Li Shimin understood and hurriedly said, "I did what you mean. Li Mu lived up to my expectations and you. Now in charge of the newly established Internal Affairs Office, he can compete with the nobles, family members and gentry."

Du Ruhui showed a gratified smile and said, "Your Majesty, I have heard of Zhulu Hou many times, but I have never seen him. I really want to meet him. Such a talented genius, I really don't know what kind of style it is..."

Li Shimin shouted outside: "Go and call Li Mu to me and let him come to see me immediately! Immediately!"

"No, don't bother..." Du Ruhui's breath became weaker: "I'm afraid it's too late... Your Majesty, there is something under the pillow, there is..."

Li Shimin hurriedly reached out to fumble under Du Ruhui's pillow and found a memorial.

"This is……"

"Your Majesty, I know Your Majesty, I am worried... What are you worried about? This memorial was written by me, I have some strength a few days ago..."

Li Shimin's heart seemed to be blocked by something. He did not expect that Du Ruhui was still planning for him when he was seriously ill. He didn't know how to tell his words. He held the memorial with one hand and held Du Ruhui's hand with the other hand, and his tone trembled: "Keming! I, I can't bear to part with you!"

"I can't bear to leave Your Majesty..."

A trace of tears also remained at the corner of Du Ruhui's eyes, as if he was a little unwilling to accept it.

"Your Majesty, I have one more thing!"

Suddenly, Du Ruhui's voice became louder, and he grabbed Li Shimin's hand tightly and stared at his eyes. Li Shimin knew that Du Ruhui was about to fail, so he was afraid that this would be his last breath and said anxiously: "You said, I promise you!"

"My eldest son is mediocre, has a gentle temperament, can not cause trouble, and can pass on the family. The second son is very reckless, I am worried... Please ask your Majesty—" He fell into his throat in one breath, but he couldn't say the second half of the sentence.

Li Shimin understood what he meant and said, "Don't worry, I will marry my daughter to him. He has become my son-in-law, and no one dares to humiliate him lightly."

When Du Ruhui heard this, he showed a look of relief. He held Li Shimin's hand and gradually loosened his pupils.

Li Shimin held back his tears, stretched out his hand, and helped him close his eyes. He stood up and told Du Ruhui's family who were waiting at the door that everyone rushed into the room, and wailed one after another.

Li Shimin stood behind everyone in a daze, and looked at Du Ruhui, who was gradually cold on the sickbed, and suddenly his heart was empty, as if he had lost something important.

He looked up at the bright moon in the sky, but his heart was even more desolate. He still had a memorial with warmth in his hand. Li Shimin couldn't bear to read it, so he rubbed it for a while and put it in his arms.

The imperial carriage arrived at this time, and Eunuch Gao ran over panting. Before he could see the ceremony, Li Shimin had already spoken: "Go and notify all officials, stop the court's discussion, and ask them all to see Buickming."

Although Eunuch Gao felt that it was inappropriate, he saw that Li Shimin was extremely sad, but he did not dare to say anything. He responded and turned around and went out to make arrangements.

The entire mansion was in chaos, and Li Shimin sat alone in the hall. For a moment, his mind went blank.

...

Li Mu had already taken off all his clothes and was about to go to bed. Suddenly, a group of people slammed the door, which scared him so much that he thought a mutiny had changed. It was not until Li Chongyi's voice that Li Mu realized that it was Du Ruhui who died. Li Shimin asked him to go there. Although Li Mu didn't quite understand why Du Ruhui was dead and let him go there, he had no intersection between him and Du Ruhui. He insisted on saying that there was an intersection. It seemed that only Wang Ou bought his house.

Is the matter exposed? It seems unlikely!

But Li Shimin summoned him and he had to go. In order to pay his respects, he would not wear tiger fur again. Bai Qiaoqiao found him a set of plain clothes. Li Mu stopped wearing them and took Dugu Jiu out with him.

Dugu Jiu is the son of Dugu Xiude and the heir of Dugu's family. In such an occasion, he would not avoid being there. It would be easier for the two of them to go together.

The two families were not close. When Li Mu arrived, the front of Duke Lai's mansion was already crowded. After the news came out, Chang'an City did not sleep at night, and countless Du Ruhui's relatives and friends came one after another. Even if some of them were unwilling to come, they had to come under the imperial edict of Li Shimin.

Li Mu squeezed in and happened to see Eunuch Gao. Eunuch Gao brought him to Li Shimin. Before Li Shimin could come out of his grief, he looked up at Li Mu, his eyes turned red again, which scared Li Mu. He knew Li Shimin since he had known Li Shimin, but he had never seen him look so disobedient. Has the dignified king of a country ever cried?

Du Ruhui actually occupied such a big position in Li Shimin's heart?

Before Li Mu came to Chang'an, Du Ruhui was sick. He had never seen him during the court talks several times. He really didn't know the famous Shangshu Youpushe at all. He was really surprised to see this scene.
