I directed the Xuanwumen Incident

Chapter 516 The last side!Lai Guogong Du Ruhui died!
Da da!

The dust was flying, and the horse's hooves were almost smoking. Li Shimin finally returned to Chang'an!
Along the way, he let the queen and a group of civil and military soldiers return slowly according to the original plan, while he brought Xu Fenglei, Fang Xuanling, Yu Chigong, Cheng Yaojin and other powerful generals, plus a cavalry of the Imperial Army, to rush back to Chang'an at high speed. !

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 almost shattered...

Chang'an, Du Mansion.

"Call-"

Li Shimin got off his horse and went straight to the mansion.

Seeing a black shadow rushing in, Du's family member Ding was about to stop him, but when he saw the person's face, he was completely stunned.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty is coming!"

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

In an instant, everyone inside and outside the Du mansion ran out and greeted them:

"See Your Majesty!"

"No gift, no gift!"

Li Shimin raised his hands 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!"

"I will take you there now!" The maid stood up and led Li Shimin to the inner courtyard.

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

"Ouch, ouch..."

Fang Xuanling is an old bone, after running around for so long, his eyesight is blurred, and he can't even get off the horse.

It had to be the joint efforts of Yu Chigong and Cheng Yaojin to hold him down.

The moment he dismounted, his legs were already weak.

"Hey, what are you doing here, old man?"

Cheng Yaojin supported him, and said helplessly,

"It's hard for us military generals to run back for thousands of miles, let alone you?"

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

Fang Xuanling shook his head when he heard this.

"Old friend for many years... He and I, old friend for many years..."

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

"He is really leaving. If I don't see him for the last time, I will regret it for the rest of my life."

Cheng Bitjin had a sore nose.

This friendship is stronger than gold!
"Okay, okay, come on..."

Together with Yu Chigong, he supported the crumbling Fang Xuanling, and said,

"Let's go."

Seeing this scene, Xu Fenglei felt a little touched in his heart.

The friendship between Fang and Du is also a friendship that has been legendary in history!

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

Looking at this familiar courtyard, I felt an indescribable feeling in my heart.

……

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

It was a sick smell, the kind you get from people who have been ill for a long time.

But 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!"

Sitting on the mat, Li Shimin tightly held Du Ruhui's hand on the sickbed, his eyes were already red.

He choked up and said:

"You...how did you become like this?"

Du Ruhui's face seemed to be covered with a layer of gray-white gauze, and his lips were already bloodless.

Those hands were also icy cold, and they couldn't feel the blood surging in them.

"My lord, my lord..."

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

"Wake up..."

On the side, Du's wife had tears in her eyes and cried out.

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

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

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty."

He turned his head slightly, and said intermittently,

"You...are tired, you..."

He knew that His Majesty should still be in Feng Chan at this moment, and the reason why he came back so quickly must be because of him rushing back.

Li Shimin shook his head again and again.

"Not tired, not tired."

He hastened to encourage,

"As long as you can recover, even if I travel a few more times, it will be worth it!"

"Recover well, 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 no longer make plans.

People are here, that's fine.

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

Du Ruhui arched his hands with difficulty, forced a smile and said,
"The old minister is ashamed... I can no longer share... share the worries for His Majesty."

"Please Your Majesty...forgive me."

Li Shimin frowned.

"Nonsense! You can, you can recover!"

He scolded, clenched Du Ruhui's hand again, choked up and said,
"We haven't officially become in-laws... No matter what you do, you have to see after Du He marries Runan, and then..."

"Oh! You..."

At this point, Li Er couldn't continue.

Xu Fenglei handed over a cotton towel in good time to let him wipe away his tears.

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

"They're all here... I, the people I want to see in the end, are all here..."

"Okay, that's great..."

Du Ru smiled faintly, and her eyes suddenly became bright.

Without help, he straightened himself up,
Seeing this, everyone at the scene trembled!
This... is this entering the backlight? !
"Keming! You..."

Fang Xuanling's eyes widened, and he said in a daze,
"You do not want……"

Du Ruhui shook his head.

"Old friend."

He chuckled,

"I'm sorry, I... just be lazy, let's take a step first."

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

Fang Xuanling was dumbstruck when he heard this, unable to utter a word.

Instead, Du Ruhui looked at Xu Fenglei.

"Master..."

Xu Fenglei's expression was extremely complicated, he nodded slightly, and said in a deep voice:
"Just tell me what you have to say, as long as I can do it, I will promise it!"

Du Ruhui grinned.

"I can't even repay your life-saving grace back then, so how dare I have any more confessions?"

he whispered,

"I just want to say sorry to the grand master. All these years, I have only talked about it verbally, and I have never really repaid you, even if I treat you to a meal."

"Keming... feel ashamed!"

Xu Fenglei's nose is also sore.

This Du Ruhui, at the end of the day, will never forget his kindness.

"Sorry for what? It was really just a little effort at the beginning."

he replied,
"Don't take it too seriously. When you feel better, I'll treat you to dinner!"

Du Ruhui laughed.

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

"His Majesty."

His eyes finally fixed on Li Shimin.

The eyes that were suddenly bright also suddenly dimmed at this moment.

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

"Veteran... can no longer serve His Majesty..."

Slowly closing his eyes, he murmured,

"Efficacy..."

"Old minister, let's go...uh!"

A sound of surprise made the three people in front of the sick bed startled, and hurried up to grab Du Ruhui's arm.

"Keming, Keming!"

"Du Ruhui! Wake up, wake up!"

"Wake up!"

However, no matter how vigorously they shook, Du Ruhui seemed to fall into a deep sleep, and could never hear the call again.

Originally, Du Ruhui was still dying because he still had something in his heart and had that obsession.

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

And this moment.

After seeing all three of them, he was satisfied, his obsession dissipated, and he naturally let go.

"Master!!"

"Woooooooo..."

Du's wife whimpered and wailed loudly.

Du Ruhui, Duke of the Lai Kingdom of the Tang Dynasty, died in April of the fifth year of Zhenguan.

He was 47 years old.

Outside the house, at some point, a large area had already fallen to its knees!

Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling were also exaggerated by this tragedy and couldn't help crying.

"Send my will..."

Li Shimin stood up slowly, enduring his grief and ordered,
"Pursuing Du Ruhui, Duke of Lai Kingdom, as Sikong, the funeral... will be performed with the ceremonies of a prince!"

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

Li Shimin's head was dizzy, and he collapsed backwards.

He is so tired!

Du Ruhui was obsessed, and he used his obsession to push back.

Seeing this side, Du Ruhui was relieved, and Li Shimin was sad. Under the exhaustion of body and mind, he finally couldn't hold on and fell down!

"His Majesty!"

"His Majesty!"

Yu Chigong and Cheng Yaojin quickly supported him, walked out of the mansion, and went straight to the palace.

The death of Du Ruhui is already sad enough, if something happens to His Majesty, it will really change the world!
"Ugh……"

Fang Xuanling supported his forehead, but also felt dizzy for a while.

Fortunately, Xu Fenglei supported him in time.

"Fang Xiang, you are tired too."

he sighed softly,

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

"The Sri Lankan has passed away... let's talk about the next thing, don't waste yourself."

"... I am sorry for your trouble, Grand Master." Fang Xuanling nodded slightly, her eyelids had already started to twitch.

……

After half an hour.

Taiji Palace, outside the emperor's bedroom.

Under the care of the imperial physician, Li Shimin had already fallen into a deep sleep.

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

Xu Fenglei was not that sleepy at the moment, so he walked out, sat on the steps, and lit a cigarette.

In his heart, he felt very uncomfortable.

There is a very complicated feeling spreading in the bottom of my heart.

Thinking back...Last year, Du Ruhui suffered from a 'sudden myocardial infarction'. If he hadn't acted in time, his life would have been confessed.

And Du Ruhui in history did indeed die of illness in the fourth year of Zhenguan.

It's not bad to be able to survive until now, at least one more year of life...

Can……

Can you really only live for one more year?

In the depths of Xu Fenglei's heart, he was proud. He was very proud of saving Du Ruhui from the hand of Hades back then, thinking that he had changed history.

But actually.

For the past year, Du Ruhui didn't care about political affairs at all, and just recuperated at home.

He no longer contributes to Datang's political affairs, and no longer promotes the reform and optimization of policies...

A year later, his life still came to an end.

Has history... changed?
No.

What he did just caused a small shift in history, and that kind of shift was as insignificant as a pebble jumped by a car on the road.

In just a moment, the car was back on the normal track again, everything... as if it had never happened.

This made Xu Fenglei feel a little frustrated.

His self-confidence was also consumed by it.

Continuing the Tang Dynasty for another 100 years... Can the original bold ambitions really be fulfilled?

The meaning of my own existence... What exactly is it?
Although he has traveled through time, he doesn't have golden fingers, so he can't do those things against the sky.

He also does not have an engineering mind, and cannot rely on his own mind to create tools that change productivity.

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

I am an ordinary person, an ordinary fortune teller.

What he can do is rely on his own experience and memory to plant seeds, because he does not have the ability to directly obtain fruits.

Others, really can't do anything, he doesn't even know how to make soap.

It seems to use animal oil, plus what?

Maybe I learned it, I can't remember...

Thinking about it now... As a time traveler, he seems to have failed in whatever he can do.

"call--"

One puff after another, Xu Fenglei didn't know how many puffs he took to get out of that emo feeling.

Before I knew it, the sky was getting brighter.

He actually sat withered all night outside the bedroom!
A gust of cold wind came whistling in the morning, Xu Fenglei shrunk his robe, feeling tired and sleepy like a tidal wave.

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

……

I do not know how long it has been.

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

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

? !
Aren't you keeping watch outside?Why did you come inside?
Look at the appearance here... It's not a side hall, it seems to be the emperor's bedroom!
With a thrill in his heart, he hurriedly got up and lifted the quilt, but suddenly heard a voice:
"Are you awake? Let's get some more sleep, I'm so tired."

The voice was familiar.

Following the sound, Xu Fenglei saw Li Shimin who was sitting in front of the case, wearing single clothes and trousers.

At this moment, he is holding a vermilion pen and flipping through the memorial.

wipe!
Why did I go to Li Shimin's place, lying on the dragon bed that the emperor is only qualified to lie on? !
"This... Your Majesty."

"Death crime, capital crime!"

Thinking of this, he didn't feel sleepy anymore, he hurriedly got up and put on his shoes, muttering,

"Your Majesty, I didn't come here on my own! I may be confused and confused. I was not me at that time, so what he did 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 the side hall to rest and catch up on sleep, why don't you go outside and guard the temple for me?"

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

Xu Fenglei: "..."

Guard the temple?

You think too much.

I'm just purely emo and can't sleep, just smoking outside...
