Datang: Only by resisting the decree can we become stronger

After listening to Li Shimin's words, everyone laughed.

What Changsun Wuji said before is to pay off the crime, and so on. To put it bluntly, it is to support Li Qiu's pockets in advance.

I was worried that someone would use this as an excuse, and say Li Qiu was wrong.

Now even Li Shimin personally set the tone for this matter, and set the tone for Li Qiu.

Naturally, no one would turn their eyes away, and it was Li Qiu's fault again.

Chapter 403 You are still so unruly and like to mess around

When Li Shimin and others were talking about city wall bricks and Youzhou, Li Qiu did not enter the palace immediately.

Instead, he went to visit Du Ruhui first.

At that time on the battlefield, Li Qiu originally insisted on chasing him out, but was persuaded by Chai Shao's words in time.

That means Du Ruhui is dead.

Li Qiu really couldn't imagine that this is less than a year. The elder who has a big temper and always "beats" him for nothing, Du Xiang from Datang, why can't he do it?

When Du Ruhui's eldest son, Du Gou, who happened to be out, raised his head and bumped into Li Qiu, his first reaction was shock.

"Lord Li Qiu?"

"Shouldn't you be called into the palace by His Majesty to reward you at this time?"

Looking at Du Gou, who was now haggard and obviously thinner, the only trace of luck in Li Qiu's heart gradually dissipated.

"I, come to see Mr. Du."

Afterwards, under the leadership of Du Gou, Li Qiu finally saw Du Ruhui on the sick bed, with a sallow complexion, who was so thin that he lost his original appearance.

Is this the same Mr. Du who used to talk and laugh happily, point out the country in the Chengqing Palace, and always laughed and scolded himself as a brat?

At that moment, Li Qiu's eyes seemed to be fogged up.

"Master Du, I'm here to see you."

"It's only been less than a year, how can you be so sick?!"

As soon as he saw Li Qiu, Du Ruhui on the sickbed, for some reason, tears flowed from the corners of his eyes.

"Li Qiu..."

"I've heard about what happened on the battlefield today."

"Good! Well done!"

"Now is the time when His Majesty is entertaining the officials in the palace. You bastard, you actually came to me."

"You, you are still so unruly and like to mess around."

"However, this court is dangerous."

"If I'm not here from now on, there will be one less person to support you."

"Xuanling is timid and submissive, even if he wants to help, he dare not."

"If there is a future, don't blame him."

Listening to his words, Li Qiu's voice trembled and forced a smile.

"Lord Du, look at what you said, it's too unlucky."

"If we are sick, we will be cured."

"Even if Sun Simiao can't do much, there are always people with better medical skills than him in this world, right?"

While talking, Li Qiu held Du Ruhui's skinny wrist and directly spent [-] system points to diagnose Du Ruhui.

The result given by the system came out very soon: the patient was terminally ill and could not be cured.

After hearing such a result, the emotion in Li Qiu's heart could no longer be suppressed, and tears flowed out in a flash.

Looking at his current state, Du Ruhui also burst into tears and sighed in his heart.

"Hey, Li Qiu, look at how you look right now."

"Where does this look like the most powerful warrior in the Tang Dynasty?"

"You child, you always have such a pure heart."

"I... I, Du Ruhui, in my life, the person who got me right the most is you!"

"Li Qiu, do you still remember the dishes you cooked when you were in Furong Garden?"

"I don't know what's going on these days, but I always think about it and eat a couple of bites."

"Then take a couple of sips of Sirius."

"Hey, then in my life, I can go on the road beautifully..."

Listening to his words, Li Qiu couldn't help nodding, forced a smile, and said seriously: "I'll do it now."

"But it's okay, you must wait for me!"

Du Ruhui panted twice at this moment, "Wait, wait..."

Afterwards, accompanied by Du Gou, Li Qiu rushed to the kitchen to get busy.

At the same time, I went to the chef and various seasonings transferred from Furong Garden as quickly as possible.

Because he was worried about Du Ruhui's condition, Li Qiu didn't order too much to do.

In about half an hour, eight dishes, including pot-packed pork, fish-flavored shredded pork, volcanic snow, peace in the world, slippery sausage, and sweet and sour pork ribs, were prepared and served on the table.

At this time, Du Ruhui had also changed into the purple tight-sleeved official robe he often wore with the support of his family.

Then with Du Gou's support, he sat opposite Li Qiu.

"Hey, I really don't wear enough clothes..."

"Li Qiu, come, have a drink or two with me to shoot Sirius."

Originally, Li Qiu wanted to persuade you, Mr. Du, your body is not good for drinking.

But then he thought of the sentence given by the system.

Li Qiu took a deep breath, and respectfully filled Du Ruhui's glass first as usual.

Looking at the aroma of these dishes and smelling the sweetness of shooting Sirius, Du Ruhui nodded in satisfaction.

I don't know what happened today, but Du Ruhui's spirit is the best day in recent days.

Afterwards, with Du Gou's help, Du Ruhui took a small bite of every dish.

Then, no more chopsticks.

"Li Qiu, tell me, in your opinion, if I leave, my two sons will be lost."

"My Du family, can I be favored by the royal family, continue to be rich, prosperous, and full of descendants?"

Hearing his words, the first thing that came to Li Qiu's mind was that the consort Du He would be involved in Prince Li Chengqian's treason case in the future.

Then Du He was executed, Princess Chengyang remarried, and Du Gou's family was implicated and exiled.

This Du Ruhui's family, even before the Zhenguan period, was dilapidated to the extreme.

Seeing Li Qiu's complexion was sick, Du Ruhui, who knew Li Qiu very well, immediately changed his complexion.

Then he frowned and asked: "Why, I, Du Ruhui, have been serving Your Majesty all my life and serving Datang loyally."

"Even descendants Fuyin has become a problem?"

At this time, Li Qiu sighed heavily, and explained gently: "Like Du Gou, mature and stable, with extraordinary ability, you have the demeanor of your lord."

"It is very possible to hold a high position in the future, even if you are a capable minister."

"It's Du He. After all, he's a little young. If he doesn't act properly, it may bring crisis to the whole family."

"But don't worry, as long as I am in Chang'an, if I am above the court, I will definitely do my best to help protect the two of them."

Chapter 404 Fang Mou's decision, the final chapter

Hearing Li Qiu's words, Du Ruhui frowned slightly, just like he used to do when he was in court, in Chengqing Hall, and when Shang Shusheng was thinking wisely.

"Li Qiu, the Turks are suffering heavy losses right now, is there anything so dangerous in my Tang Dynasty?"

Li Qiu paused for a moment, and then said briefly and cryptically: "Your Majesty has kept so many princes and princesses by his side, in the narrow city of Chang'an."

"After a long time, it is easy to go wrong."

"If there was a powerful Turkic enemy in the past, many problems would not be exposed."

"But from now on..."

Li Qiu only spoke half of what he said, and even Du Gou only understood half of what he said, so he felt that this was nothing, right?

But Du Ruhui was completely different.

Having followed Li Shimin for most of his life, he knows the lord very well.

With just this little bit from Li Qiu, he immediately thought of all kinds of chaos that may occur in the Tang Dynasty in the future, especially in the royal family and above the court.

At the same time, he was too shocked and admired by the opposite Li Qiu who always likes to mess around and play cards out of common sense.

To be able to see so clearly in such a big event of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages!

At this moment, Du Ruhui's second son, Du He, also hurried back from outside.

This time, he spent a lot of money to buy a lot of precious medicinal materials from other places, and invited several famous doctors and Taoist priests to come back.

Just after he saluted Du Ruhui and Li Qiu respectfully, Du Ruhui sighed softly, "Du Gou, Du He."

"It just so happens that both of you are here at this time, as my father, I have a family order for you two."

"If you two disobey my order in the future and come to that side in the future, I will never forgive you!"

Du Ruhui's family education has always been extremely strict.

Upon hearing that their father was about to confess his will at this moment, Du Gou and Du He both showed mournful expressions, and knelt down on the ground at the same time, obeying their father's teachings which may not be many times.

"Father, you said that children should remember their father's orders."

At this time, Du Ruhui breathed a sigh of relief and said, "After I leave, the eldest son, Du Gou, will be the head of my Du family."

"But when it comes to major events, Li Qiu's order is my order to you."

"Whether you two understand or not, you must strictly obey."

"Do you understand?"

Hearing Du Ruhui's words, let alone Du Gou and Du He, even Li Qiu was extremely surprised and shocked.

At this time, Du Gou and Du He responded to the matter with great respect and seriousness.

And Du Ruhui raised the wine cup with difficulty.

"Come on, Li Qiu."

"My father and I, let's drink this last glass of wine in this life."

"From now on, my two sons will be entrusted to you, kid."

Hearing this, Li Qiu felt sad, and respectfully drank the last glass of wine with Du Ruhui.

With Du Ruhui's weak body at this time, and the terminal stage of his liver disease, how could he bear the intensity of shooting Sirius.

Immediately, he took a sip of wine and choked there directly, spurting out blood.

In the whole room, Du Gou, Du He, Li Qiu and others also sounded anxiously.

On the other side, within the imperial city.

Seeing that the time for the banquet to reward the generals in the palace is approaching, but Li Qiu, who has made the most contribution today, has not yet appeared.

At this time, many people, including Li Shimin, showed surprise on their faces.

The eldest grandson Wuji on the side also hurriedly and secretly asked the chief eunuch in the palace.

"Where's Li Qiu, king of Peking, didn't you send someone to notify him in advance?"

At this time, the meaning and suspicion in Changsun Wuji's words were very obvious.
