The best idlers of the Tang Dynasty

Generally, when a courtier dies, no matter how strong the relationship with the emperor was, the emperor will send a prince to pay homage at most. Smoked.

The emperor came to worship in person. There has never been such a thing in the past and present. First, the emperor must maintain enough majesty and mystery. It's okay in winter, if Gen'er farts in summer, when the emperor arrives, the corpse will probably already be smelly.

But Du Ruhui just died last night, and Emperor Taizong (hereinafter referred to as Taizong) arrived before noon, which shows how well the monarch and his ministers are compatible.

As soon as the voice fell, everyone in the mourning hall panicked. No one expected that Taizong would come at this time. Maybe some people thought of coming back, but they didn't expect it to be so urgent.

After a group of people reacted, they rushed out, like a group of ducks, they were rushed out of the mourning hall, crawled into the courtyard and knelt to greet them. Originally, Taizong came to visit, and everyone in Du's house had to go to the door in advance to set up an incense table Kneeling to greet him, but Emperor Taizong came too suddenly today. As soon as a group of people ran to the door, they saw the forbidden guards holding knives. They quickly knelt down and shouted long live.

Du Rui originally wanted to pay his respects to Emperor Taizong. After all, this emperor is so famous in Chinese history. If Emperor Wu of Han erected a solid backbone for the Chinese nation, then this Emperor Taizong is here There is a piece of iron welded on the hard spine, so that the Chinese people at this time will hold their heads high and swear no matter where they go.

But just as he was about to move, he realized that after kneeling for a long time, his knees were already swollen. At this time, let alone standing up, it was difficult to even move. After several attempts, he had no choice but to give up and kneel on the ground Slowly, relax your tendons and activate blood circulation.

"Zhuzi! The Holy Majesty is here, why don't you come out to welcome him!"

Fang Xuanling, who fell on the hut, originally wanted to go out to meet Shengjia, but his health was really bad, so he could only be disrespectful, and he would plead guilty to Taizong in the future.

But when he raised his eyes, he saw Du Rui kneeling on the spot alone without moving his nest. He was a little angry. Seeing Du Rui wearing a heavy filial piety, he seemed to be Du Ruhui's junior. It is even more unacceptable, and I can't help but reprimand loudly.

Du Rui looked up at Fang Xuanling, and said mournfully, "My father has just died. If you are a son, you can't die on your father's behalf. It's already unfilial. How can you bear that old father has no one to wait before his death? The son said: 'To send the dead! Take it as a big thing!', it can be seen that the dead are the big things, the sage is wise, and I don't think he will have the same knowledge as the kid."

In his previous life, he had met many old people who were picky like Fang Xuanling and made trouble for him. If he hadn't been quick-witted, he would have been left speechless by the questions.

Fang Xuanling was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that he wanted to question the other party, but instead he was generalized by this brat. Judging by his appearance, he was only thirteen or fourteen years old, but he didn't expect to be so eloquent.

The sage is wise, and he doesn't know his level of knowledge, so if I have just met his level of knowledge, doesn't it mean that I am just an old fool.

Thinking of this, Fang Xuanling couldn't help laughing, but thinking about it again, this was in front of the spirit of his old friend, so he quickly stiffened his face and said, "You call Keming your father?"

"The boy is the third son of the late father, Du Rui!"

"Du Rui!" Fang Xuanling couldn't help exclaiming when he heard the name, and said, "But the son of Cao Xuanshi?"

Du Rui had also heard from his old servant Du Zhong before that his mother in this life was once a high-ranking maid in the imperial palace, and was later bestowed by the current Supreme Emperor (the emperor's great ancestor Li Yuan) to Emperor Taizong who was still King Qin at that time. Destroyed Xue Ju, rewarded meritorious ministers, and bestowed his mother on Du Ruhui.Just mentioning his mother, why did Fang Xuanling look so shocked.

"Exactly!"

Fang Xuanling nodded and said: "It's no wonder, Cao Xuanshi was also a very smart person back then."

After finishing speaking, he kept his mouth shut and looked out the door, as if he was waiting to welcome the holy driver. Although he couldn't go out due to illness, he still had the intention to go in. It shows that Fang Xuanling knows the way of being a minister.

At this time, Emperor Taizong had already entered the courtyard. Although Du Rui was still in the mourning hall, he could see it very clearly. To his surprise, Emperor Taizong actually came on foot. There was a heavy snow just now, and it was inevitable that the streets It was muddy, at this time Taizong's dragon robe was covered with mud and water.

He is tall and very heroic, which is quite similar to those seen in those portraits, with two sword eyebrows inserted straight into the temples, a pair of eyes that seem to see through everything are also full of tears at this time, and the bridge of the nose is high. Thick lips, three short beards, he looks heroic, he should be in his 30s at this time, and he is in the prime of life, but because of the Turkic invasion of the border for many years, Tubo often harassed him, and the new dynasty was established, and the people's hearts were unstable, which made him He looked a bit haggard, and now he lost his arm in pain. Even Tian Khan, who will be famous in the future, can't help but look a little helpless at this moment. After all, he is just a mortal.

There are several teenagers following behind him, one of them is wearing the same bright yellow clothes as Emperor Taizong, he looks about fourteen or fifteen years old, presumably he should be the current prince Li Chengqian, and the others should be Li Tai, Li Ke, etc. Prince.

Taizong not only came by himself, but also brought several of his sons along with him, which shows the kindness of Longyu.Even the fake Du Rui couldn't help looking at the coffin and sighing: "Your death is not in vain."

Taizong stood in the courtyard, looked at the crowd kneeling in front of him, and then looked at the white mansion. He couldn't help feeling sad, fell down and beat his chest, and cried bitterly: "Keming died early, and the country lost a great talent. Make me feel like I have broken an arm."

After finishing speaking, he ignored everyone and walked directly towards the mourning hall. The whole Du family hurriedly followed behind. The emperor personally brought all the princes to pay respects.

When Taizong entered the mourning hall, he first saw Du Rui kneeling beside the coffin with a blank expression on his face. Just as he felt strange, he heard Fang Xuanling's visit next to him, and he immediately ignored Du Rui. Xuanling's hand, sadly said: "Xuanling! Now that Keming is dead, I feel that I have lost an arm. I hope Aiqing will take care of her body. I cannot do without Aiqing. In the world of Tang Dynasty, I am still waiting for Aiqing." I came to help me cook, but I regret that Keming is not a holiday, which really makes me very sad."

Du Rui looked at the relationship between the monarch and his ministers over there, without saying a word, not even raising his eyes.

The others returned to their positions one after another. Before Du Goulin knelt down, he turned his head and gave him a hard look. Du Rui didn't care, just pretended not to see it.

When everyone came in just now, Du Rui also saw the hostess of Du's mansion, Du Ruhui's wife, Cui Shi, who is the daughter of the wealthy Cui family in Shandong. They just saw each other in a hurry last night. The very plump woman's eyes were full of meanness, and she thought that her life with her sister would not be easy in the future.

Emperor Taizong cried for a while, and then ordered the eunuch to bring out the imperial decree. He first praised Du Ruhui, then counted his achievements over the years, and finally came to the actual condolences. Donated to Sikong, added food to 350 households, promoted the eldest son Du Gou to Shangshe Fengyu, and the second son Du He to Shangcheng Fengyu.As for Du Rui, Emperor Taizong probably didn't even know that Du Ruhui had such a son. Although he glanced at it just now, he would forget about it in a few days.

After reading the imperial decree, as the successor to the dukedom of the Lai Kingdom, Du Gou, the head of the Du Mansion, will take the lead in prostrating and bowing down to thank you.

"On behalf of the deceased father, I thank Your Majesty for your grace!"

Taizong looked at Du Gou, probably thinking of Du Ruhui who had passed away, his eyes couldn't help getting wet again, he stroked Du Gou's back and sighed: "Your father and I have known each other for more than ten years and never parted from each other through adversity. Who knows that the sky does not have a holiday, and the middle way is farewell, I am also very sad, now that you have grown up, you should serve your father, serve your mother sooner or later, and don't make your father worry in the ground."

Du Gou hurriedly bowed again: "I would like to follow your Majesty's instructions!"

Du Rui looked at Emperor Taizong's various behaviors from behind, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. No matter whether people praise him or criticize him in the future, there is at least one thing, he is definitely enough for future monarchs to learn for a lifetime, and that is the relationship with the ministers In addition to monarchs and ministers, they are also close friends.

Now that Du Ruhui died early, he not only comforted him early, but also taught Du Gou carefully like an elder, not only fulfilling the responsibility of a king to his subjects, but also fulfilling the responsibility of a friend.

After another half day of commotion, Taizong left, and Fang Xuanling followed him. When he left, he gave Du Rui a thoughtful look, but he didn't say anything.

But Du Rui clearly saw a trace of worry in his eyes.Just like Taizong looked at Du Gou, it was a kind of worry from the elders to the younger generation.
