I'm a marquis in Datang

Chapter 890

farewell

Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "Keming, sit down!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After Du Ruhui thanked him, he sat down respectfully.At this time, he was looking at his eyes, his nose, his nose, and his heart, and he didn't take the initiative to speak.Even though Du Ruhui is still loyal to Li Shimin and still cares about the Tang Dynasty, but because of Du Qi, Du Ruhui still has many small knots in his heart, and it is difficult to maintain the close relationship with Li Shimin.

Li Shimin looked at Du Ruhui who was sitting below, even Du Ruhui's temples were already weathered.Especially that pair of eyes lost their former sharpness, decisiveness and brightness, and they also had thick bags under their eyes, which made them a little depressed.

Li Shimin sighed a little in his heart, because Du Ruhui who followed him was full of vigor, outstanding talent and learning, and extremely resolute and decisive.But until now, Du Ruhui has become so decadent.

A chance meeting makes people helpless.

Li Shimin was also silent.

The atmosphere in the hall was tense for a while, no one spoke first, no one broke the deadlock.Even the two of them looked at different places, and their eyes never met.

After a long time, Li Shimin suddenly said: "Keming, how many years have you followed this king?"

Du Ruhui said without hesitation: "Reporting to Your Majesty, I have followed Your Majesty for 15 years and eight months."

Seeing Du Ruhui's clarity, Li Shimin sighed and said, "15 years and 16 months, that's almost 16 years. How many [-] years can a person have in his life!"

"When Keming followed me in the past, he was in the prime of life, full of vigor and vitality. Now, your temples are already gray, and you are almost fifty years old."

"16 years have passed by in a snap of the fingers, time flies so fast, it is nostalgic."

"For the past 16 years, Keming has been under my command and has been conscientiously planning and making suggestions for me. To put it bluntly, without Keming, I would not be where I am today. Because of many key points, Keming did it for me. Make a decision."

Li Shimin said: "It's a pity that I have betrayed you, which makes you unhappy now."

Du Ruhui hastily said: "Your Majesty has defeated the evil minister. At this point, it is fate. In the final analysis, it is the child's stubbornness, and the minister cannot influence the child's thoughts. At this point, it is not your Majesty's fault, but the minister's inability to teach his son well. In fact, Your Majesty also treats children as juniors."

In Du Ruhui's heart, he was proud of Du Qi and his achievements.In front of Li Shimin, Du Ruhui couldn't say that, he had to worry about Li Shimin's

face.

Hearing Du Ruhui's words, Li Shimin shook his head and said, "Keming, I have failed you. Now, I am going to appoint you as the governor of Anxi Dufu to replace Gao Shilian in the Western Regions. When you go to the Western Regions, you can bring The family members will accompany you. All members of your Du family can follow you to work in the Xia Kingdom in the Western Regions."

When Du Ruhui heard this, he was immediately surprised, and his slightly aged face was even more shocked.

Du Ruhui knew that his family was in Chang'an, so they were hostages.In particular, Du Qi and Li Shimin had conflicts. After a big battle, the importance of hostages became more prominent.Li Shimin arranged for Du Ruhui to go to the Western Regions, and allowed his family to accompany him, which meant that the Du family was let go, and there was no one to hold back Du Qi.

Du Ruhui said in a deep voice: "I dare to ask Your Majesty, why did you let your family go to the Western Regions?"

Li Shimin said: "It's better to let you go instead of keeping you unhappy in Chang'an, not going to court or doing things. Besides, Chang Sun Chong is also in the Western Regions, so we need to replace Chang Sun Chong."

"You went to the Western Regions, Changsun Chong can come back."

"Keming, you have followed me for more than ten years, and you have served me in your best years. It can be said that you are my right-hand man and a minister. With me, no matter what happened between me and Du Erlang, even if I used to Go to war with Du Erlang, even if you will go to war with Du Erlang in the future, it will not affect your relationship with me, nor will it affect your relationship with me.

position in the heart. "

"It's just that I don't want you to be so depressed. Besides, Du Erlang is now in charge of one side and establishes Xia Guo on his own. Keeping you in Chang'an will also cause conflicts between Xia Guo and Datang. Therefore, your family, Need to go to the Western Regions."

Li Shimin said: "On the one hand, it is to resolve the conflict with Du Erlang, and on the other hand, it is to exchange for Changsun Chong."

Du Ruhui said solemnly: "Your Majesty, it's not like this. I know Erlang well. Although this kid has established himself as a country in the Western Regions, even though he has fought against His Majesty in a rebellious manner. But in his heart, he still has Tang and His Majesty." Courtier."

Li Shimin smiled and said: "I know, but these are not important anymore. I have discussed with Zhangsun Wuji and others about your going to the Western Regions, and the decree has been promulgated, so you can go back and pack your bags now, and then arrange Someone told Du Gou to return to the Du family as soon as possible, and then you will take the Du family to the Xia Kingdom in the Western Regions."

Du Ruhui said: "Your Majesty, minister..."

He was about to speak, but when he reached the point of his mouth, Li Shimin interrupted him with a flick of his sleeve. Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "Ke Ming, there is no need to say anything superfluous. I know your heart and your personality. The purpose has been determined, let's arrange it. "

"The minister obeys the order!"

Du Ruhui answered with a bow.

Li Shimin waved his hand, Du Ruhui stood up and bowed before leaving.

Li Shimin looked at Du Ruhui's leaving back, especially Du Ruhui's slightly bent back, and felt even more emotional in his heart.The relationship between him and Du Ruhui used to be extremely close.It's just that at this point, it's a last resort, and everything is impossible.

As Du Ruhui said, time is fate.

When Du Ruhui walked to the entrance of the main hall, Du Ruhui did not leave immediately, but stopped.He turned around and looked at Li Shimin who was sitting in the hall.Now the distance is a bit far away, Du Ruhui is getting old, and his eyesight is a little weak, but he can see a little blurry, and can no longer see Li Shimin's face clearly.

Plop!

Du Ruhui lifted up his robe and knelt down. He knocked his head on the ground and said solemnly: "My lord, please bid farewell to Your Majesty. I hope Your Majesty will take good care of the dragon's body."

Boom!Boom!Boom! ! !

Du Ruhui stood up and left after three kowtows.

Under normal circumstances, actually, when Du Ruhui had an audience with Li Shimin, he only had to bow and salute.

Kneeling is very rare.

Now, Du Ruhui knelt down to salute.

Li Shimin looked at Du Ruhui's leaving back, and Du Ruhui had disappeared from sight in a blink of an eye.But it seemed that Du Ruhui's words just now echoed in his ears.Li Shimin suddenly raised his hand and waved it in front of him, as if he wanted to grab Du Ruhui who was leaving.

The human figure, unfortunately, the man-made has left.

Li Shimin grasped the air and sat down slumped.

When Li Shimin sat paralyzed, a charming figure entered the entrance of the main hall.

The person who came was the eldest grandson Wugou.

She already got the news that Li Shimin wanted Du Ruhui to leave, which was informed by Changsun Wuji.Changsun Wuji specifically notified Changsun Wugou, knowing that Li Shimin would feel uncomfortable, so he asked Changsun Wugou to comfort Li Shimin.

After Changsun Wugou entered, he sat down beside Li Shimin.

Li Shimin said: "Guanyin servant girl, I personally let my servants leave Chang'an. I know that if Du Ruhui actually wants to leave Chang'an, there are many ways, and even Du Qi has countless ways. However, Du Ruhui stayed in Chang'an from beginning to end, even Take the initiative to ask me to arrange bad people to monitor the Du family."

Chapter 891

Spicy temper

The eldest grandson Wugou said softly: "Du Xiang's heart, the world can learn from him, he is a frank person. It is His Majesty's blessing to have Du Xiang's assistance. The king and his ministers are friends, the king does not doubt the minister, and the minister does not doubt It can be described as a good story, the monarch, the monarch and his ministers get each other."

When Li Shimin heard it, he felt even more uncomfortable, in short, he was upset.

The eldest grandson Wugou continued: "Your Majesty is depressed now, I can understand it. But I have always been quite optimistic, an optimist. Thinking back when Your Majesty was the King of Qin, the crown prince persecuted me everywhere, and I think it's okay, at least At that time, His Majesty was able to resist the crown prince, so he had a chance to finally turn defeat into victory."
