Chapter 57 Du Ruhui is seriously ill

Li Ke, who was reluctant to do so, was dragged to Liangyi Hall by Li Chengqian. Li Chengqian didn't need to ask too much, just know that His Majesty Li Er was guaranteed to be here.

Sure enough, when I arrived at the gate of Liangyi Hall, I saw the old eunuch who was quite "destined" to me standing at the door.

"I have seen His Highness the Crown Prince and His Highness the King of Shu."

"No gifts, no gifts. Eunuch Liu, is your father inside?"

"The saint is..."

After saying that without the eunuch, Li Chengqian pushed him away, "It's good to be inside. If you have it, please keep standing, I'll go in by myself."

It is obvious that this is not the first time Li Chengqian has found His Majesty Li Er. This Eunuch Liu did not stop him or report him. He allowed Li Chengqian to pull Li Ke with one hand and gently push open the hall door with the other hand, and carefully put his head in the hall looking into the hall...

"What kind of sensation is so polite? Let me get in!"

Well, Li Chengqian was discovered by His Majesty Li Er at the first time... In a big palace, His Majesty Li Er's dragon throne was facing the palace gate. If you can't see Li Chengqian, there would be a ghost!

"Hehe, I have paid homage to my father and uncle."

"My son has paid homage to my father and uncle!"

"Well, Ke'er, why are you here today?" His Majesty Li Er directly ignored Li Chengqian and asked about Li Ke's purpose.

Li Ke looked at Li Chengqian, who was full of unhappiness, and smiled hard and said, "My son came with the prince's brother, and he had something to do with his father."

His Majesty Li Er then looked at Li Chengqian, "Hmph, I'm not doing my job all day long! Let's talk, what's the matter?"

Li Chengqian curled his lips and said, "Please give me some land."

"What?" His Majesty Li Er didn't understand what Li Chengqian meant.

"I mean, you can add a lot of land near Chang'an. It doesn't need to be too big, ten acres are enough."

"Ten Heihe? Wow, my tone is quite good! Not to mention why I have to approve these lands for you. The fertile land near Chang'an has been rewarded, where did you get Ten Heihe for you?"

"I didn't say I want fertile land? As long as it is land, it will be made, mountain, saline-alkali land, etc. As long as there is a water source nearby, it will be made, it will be made, no more than fifty miles away from Chang'an City."

"What do you want this land to do?"

"Of course, it is to make efforts to enable the people to embark on the road to a well-off society as soon as possible and achieve prosperity in the Tang Dynasty. Do everything possible to use all means to increase the people's income and improve the people's living standards..."

"Speak human words!"

“Uh…open a farm!”

"farm?"

"Raising chickens, ducks, pigs, fish..."

“…”

In the end, His Majesty Li Er did not make any conspiracy with a shameless guy and waved his hand to Li Chengqian a saline-alkali wasteland on the banks of the Wei River.

But he got another job - to visit the seriously ill Du Ruhui on behalf of His Majesty Li Er.

His Majesty Li Er almost forgot that if he didn't mention this, Li Chengqian almost forgot that Du Ruhui, one of the "Fang Du", died of illness in the fourth year of Zhenguan, which is the fourth year of Zhenguan? No wonder he never saw anyone else when he went to the Secretariat before, and even the court meeting had not been seen for a long time.

But... Didn't Du Ruhui die of illness in March of the fourth year of Zhenguan? It's almost September... But it's nothing strange. Li Jing, who had defeated the Turks in February, had not returned to the court until now. The title of "Tian Khan" has not yet fallen on His Majesty Li Er's head. Is it normal for Du Ruhui to get sick later?

...

The next morning, Li Chengqian "dressed up" and wore his crown prince's outfit and brought the condolences prepared by His Majesty Li Er, and came all the way to Du Ruhui's mansion.

"The private woman pays homage to the Crown Prince!"

"Greetings to the Crown Prince!"

As soon as he arrived at the door, he saw a middle-aged woman standing at the door with a large group of people waiting. When he saw Li Chengqian, he bowed and bowed.

Needless to say, Li Chengqian knew that this middle-aged woman was Du Ruhui's wife.

"No gifts, no gifts, no gifts, no gifts. I came here this time to visit Duke Lai on behalf of my father. I will be exempted from these false gifts."

"Thank you, Prince!"

After everyone got up, Li Chengqian walked to Mrs. Du, bowed and said, "Gao Ming has seen Aunt Du!"

Mrs. Du hurriedly avoided the side and said, "The prince is so polite, and the civilians must not be the ones."

Perhaps before Du Ruhui got sick, she could still be treated with the courtesy of Li Chengqian, the son and nephew, but now she sees that Du Ruhui is getting worse every day, so she doesn't have the confidence anymore.

This was not the first time Li Chengqian met Mrs. Du, and he never saw her before, and he immediately understood why.

"Oh..." There was nothing I could do, Li Chengqian sighed slightly and walked towards the mansion.

At this time, Mrs. Du no longer followed her, but Du Gou, his son, also Du Ruhui's eldest son, took Li Chengqian to Du Ruhui's room.

"What's wrong with your father?"

"Alas, since I got sick at the beginning of the year and was bedridden in June, my situation has been getting worse day by day, and I have often fainted these days."

Du Gou and Li Chengqian were about the same age, and Li Chengqian later took the initiative to date these princes and princes, but he did not have much concern about Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian nodded and speeded up. In fact, in his heart, he still hoped that he could rely on his knowledge from later generations to save the life of this wise prime minister, but he didn't know what disease Du Ruhui had...

After a while, the two of them came to Du Ruhui's room. Although it was summer, the doors and windows were tightly closed, and some gaps that were easy to get through the wind were also blurred, making the room not only a little dim, but the air was a little dirty, and a strong smell of Chinese medicine mixed with some bad smells...

Li Chengqian couldn't help but frown slightly, "Brother Du, why did you make the room so tight?"

"The imperial physician said that his father was weak to prevent typhoid fever, so he ordered the doors and windows to be closed." Du Gou seemed to have become accustomed to the situation in the room and returned lightly.

Li Chengqian nodded and said nothing, but came to Du Ruhui's bed.

At this time, Du Ruhui had long lost the energy-filled look when Li Chengqian first saw him. Not only did his face turn a little blue, but his cheeks were even thinner and not much fleshy.
