Datang: Only by resisting the decree can we become stronger

Then he said with a smile: "Your Majesty, don't tell me, this kid really throws my temper at this point!"

At this moment, in the private circle of Chang'an City official circles, the demotion of Dai Zhou, Minister of the Household Department, was brewing to a peak.

Especially at this critical moment, Du Ruhui, who has several positions and has a bad temper, has mercilessly sprayed several courtiers.

Even for two of them, Li Shimin directly delegated power to Sun Wuji and transferred them.

As a result, the dissatisfaction with Du Ruhui among the gentry and courtiers in the entire officialdom has reached its peak.

During the gathering and discussion in the private mansion, Yushi Chen Shihe was furious.

"What a powerful Du Ruhui!"

"Could it be that he also wants to be a powerful minister in the history books, can't he be a jester?!"

"His Majesty now favors him so much that he is almost covering the sky with one hand."

"As the censor of the Tang Dynasty, I must not let him continue to pamper him."

"Tomorrow in the court, I will go to my Majesty to prevent my Tang Dynasty from embarking on those roads of subjugation!"

Listening to his words, other ministers also echoed.

"That's right, what Master Chen said is very true."

"If Mr. Chen dares to play this book, we will definitely follow after Mr. Chen."

"We can't let this Du Ruhui continue to be lawless and defiant like this!"

"Don't say anything else, just for Dai Zhou Dai, we have to ask for an explanation for everything, don't we?"

Chapter 379 Anger

To talk about the enmity between Chen Shihe and Du Ruhui, the supervisory censor, it can be traced back to this year's festival, when they were in Da'an Palace.

At that time, because Li Qiu got a pair of border shepherds, these courtiers regarded it as grandstanding.

At that time, Chen Shihe publicly ridiculed Li Qiu, and said that his surname was written backwards.

Later, when they were successfully slapped in the face by Li Qiu, Du Ruhui helped Li Qiu vent his anger and angered Chen Shihe.

From then on, Du Ruhui was hated by Chen Shihe.

Now that he saw a chance to take revenge, he jumped out on his own initiative.

The next day, at the court, when Li Shimin was upset and had no time to pay attention to these trivial matters.

The supervisory censor, Chen Shihe, came out directly, and wrote a book "Bao Shi Lun" directly and eloquently.

The content in it probably says that some people's thinking is limited after all, and it is impossible for a person to know a few jobs all the time.

Although Du Ruhui's name wasn't mentioned, anyone who wasn't an idiot would know that his letter alluded to Du Ruhui!

This time, it directly ignited Du Ruhui who had been up all night and was very angry.

In front of Li Shimin, in the court hall, Du Ruhui scolded Chen Shihe angrily.

Right now, the Turkic soldiers are pressing down on the border, and the life and death of the Tang Dynasty and the whole world are at stake.

People like Li Shimin, Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling and others dare not rest day and night, working hard for the country, but now they are being slandered by such villains.

How can Du Ru be unhappy?

Seeing that Du Ruhui's complexion and breath were not right, Li Shimin, who had always been familiar with his condition, hurriedly asked Fang Xuanling and the guards to take Du Ruhui down to rest and recuperate.

After Du Ruhui and the others left, the originally chaotic court returned to quiet again.

Li Shimin then glared at Chen Shihe and the courtiers with a strong murderous look in his eyes.

"I came out to govern the world with a public heart, and now I use Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui again, not because of their merits, but because of their talents."

"Chen Shihe, as the censor, you slandered my prime minister in private, are you trying to drive us apart?"

"In the past, the empress of Shu was weak, and Qi Wenxuan was mad and rebellious. However, the ruler of the country is because Zhuge Liang and Yang Zunyan didn't guess."

"I am Du Ruhui and others now, and I will be like the law."

"As for Du Ruhui holding several positions, I made up my mind, so don't mention it again in the future!"

"Retreat!"

After saying these words to this group of gentry ministers with implicit anger, Li Shimin threw up his sleeves and left, and then went directly to Shangshu Province to visit and appease Du Ruhui.

But when he came here and saw Du Ruhui's increasingly ugly face, his heart tightened.

"Oh, Keming, your own body is important, so stop cursing that bastard."

"Look at your complexion, what has become?!"

"Come on, send Keming back to the mansion, I will force him to rest at home for two days!"

Hearing Li Shimin's words, Du Ruhui sighed and shook his head, "Your Majesty, at this moment, how can you let me go home again?"

"I have nothing to do here, just go back and rest for a while..."

Seeing his frail appearance and those pale lips, Li Shimin's heart ached.

"Xuanling, did you two stay up all night again last night?"

Listening to Li Shimin's question, Fang Xuanling, who was also annoyed by Chen Shihe, sighed softly.

The next moment, Li Shimin couldn't argue, and directly sent someone to send Du Ruhui back to the mansion.

At the same time, it was also ordered that Du Ruhui was not allowed to leave the house within two days, and he was allowed to rest at home.

After Du Ruhui left, Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and others once again devoted themselves to extremely busy official duties.

Because the emergency military situation ahead showed that the vanguard of the Turkic army had entered the territory of Jingzhou.

In a few days, soldiers will come to the city of Jingzhou.

At this extremely critical moment, neither Li Shimin nor Fang Xuanling dared to neglect in the slightest.

Originally, in Li Shimin's imagination, he forcibly sent Du Ruhui back to the mansion, and after a few days of recuperation, Du Ruhui would be fine.

When he comes back next time, I will reward him more, so as to comfort him.

At the same time, Li Shimin also made up his mind that Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui couldn't continue to work so hard.

The two of them, Fang Mou Du Jue, can be said to be his right-hand men, and they have helped him lay down this country and ascend this throne, so they must be cherished.

However, things backfired. On the afternoon of that day, someone rushed into the palace to report that Master Du's condition was serious!

When Li Shimin brought Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji, Wang Gui, Du Zhenglun and others to Du Ruhui's mansion, he saw that several imperial doctors had already gathered here.

At this time, Du Ruhui was on the sickbed, with a withered face, swollen legs, and vomiting continuously. It was obvious that he had an old disease (liver disease) again.

"Keming, Keming, how are you?!"

At this time, Li Shimin saw Du Ruhui like this, and rushed up to hold Du Ruhui's hand tightly, regardless of the filth around him.

At this moment, Du Ruhui seemed to have sensed something, and after sighing, he tightly closed his eyes.

"His Majesty!"

"I'm afraid I won't be able to accompany you through this difficult time..."

"But the military affairs of the Tang Dynasty, the supplies and food and salaries of the Ministry of Households, I can't worry about it!"

"These things, in this position, no one can do it."

"I implore Your Majesty to relieve you of your duties first, and let people take this burden first."

"The post of Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs can be filled by the eldest grandson Wuji."

"But the post of Minister of the Ministry of War, alas..."

Listening to his words, Li Shimin's anxious eyes turned red.

"Keming, you are so sick, don't worry about those troublesome things in court!"

"Royal doctor! Royal doctor!"

"What is Keming's condition?"

Seeing this urgent situation, facing Li Shimin's question, these imperial doctors faltered and couldn't say anything.

Du Ruhui's disease was already serious to a certain extent when Jieli's army approached the Wei River.

The imperial physicians in these palaces are powerless.

Later, it was also because Li Qiu won over the medicine king Sun Simiao that Du Ruhui's condition was successfully controlled and improved significantly.

Seeing the expressions of these imperial doctors at this time, Li Shimin understood something, and immediately asked, "Where is Sun Simiao now?"

At this time, the people in Du Ruhui's house hurriedly reported that the young master Du Gou had sent someone to invite him on a fast horse.

Just as he was talking, Sun Simiao hurried in, accompanied by Du Gou and others.

Before he could salute Li Shimin, he was directly held back by Li Shimin.

"Sun Simiao, there's no need to be too polite, just treat Du Ruhui quickly!"

"It was fine this morning, but because of a bastard, Keming got mad like this!"

Seeing Du Ruhui's appearance at this time, Sun Simiao also frowned.

Then he sat down hastily, calmed down his shortness of breath a bit, and took Du Ruhui's pulse.

During this process, everyone including Li Shimin held their breath and concentrated, for fear of affecting Sun Simiao's pulse.

After a while, Sun Simiao's complexion was extremely gloomy, and he sighed softly.

Seeing that his pulse was over, Li Shimin hurriedly asked with concern: "Sun Simiao, how is Keming's condition?"

Chapter 380

Facing Li Shimin's inquiry and the extremely concerned eyes of everyone around, Sun Simiao showed a mournful expression and shook his head slightly.

After seeing his response like this, the hearts of Li Shimin and others went cold.

After everyone retreated outside, Sun Simiao bowed to Li Shimin in a low voice and said, "Your Majesty."

"Master Du's illness has never been cured."

"It's just being suppressed by the combination of needles and medicine, and the appearance has changed."

"His illness, if he doesn't get angry and recuperates calmly, maybe there will be a turn for the better, and it will not be a problem if it lasts for at least ten or eight years."

"But now."

"Master Du is in an important position, working hard every day, his body has long been unable to bear it, and it all depends on his heart."

"This is already planting the seeds of disaster."

"Afterwards, after this rage, it completely aroused the anger, the old disease relapsed, and the urgency hit the heart."

"It's exhausting to recover."

Hearing this, Li Shimin's anxious eyes turned red, and he grabbed Sun Simiao's hand, "Sun Simiao, Keming, you must be saved!"

"As long as you can save him, I will reward you very much!"

"No matter what is missing or what rare medicinal materials you need, I will find them all for you!"

Seeing Li Shimin like this, Sun Simiao also looked heavy, and shook his head with difficulty.

"Your Majesty, Caomin has practiced medicine all his life, and has always been indifferent to fame and fortune."

"Besides, over the past year or so, Lord Du and the family have treated me well."

"Whether it's for this kindness or for the people of Tang Dynasty, the common people in the world want to save them."

"But this manpower is sometimes poor..."

"Hey, I'm a good minister of the Tang Dynasty, I'm afraid I'm going to perish right now!"

Hearing Sun Simiao's words, Li Shimin felt his eyes go dark, and then a surge of anger surged into his heart.

"Chen Shihe!"

"You cut off my arm and cut off my pillar of the Tang Dynasty!"

"A hundred deaths are not worth it!"
