When Zhao Jun and many other prime ministers heard the news and rushed to Lu's mansion, they saw that Lu Yijian's face was flushed and he seemed to be in good spirits.
But everyone knows that this is just a superficial phenomenon.
Because in ancient times, if there were no special accidents, high-ranking officials would often have a period of last-minute recovery before dying of illness, or even when they were close to death.
It's not because of their special status that God gives them more time, it's simply because they are rich.
If you have money, you can hire the best doctors and use the best and most expensive medicines.
Even if you are about to die, the doctor can give you acupuncture and ask you to take some hundreds of years old wild ginseng, Angong Niuhuang Pills, etc., and you can stay alive for a while.
Lu Yijian was already in critical condition at that time. If he had not received timely rescue, he would probably not have lived to see his family send a letter to the palace, and then Zhao Jun and others would have rushed over after hearing the news.
They walked to the bed.
So when they discovered that Lu Yijian was in critical condition, the Lu family quickly paid a large sum of money to hire the best Chinese medicine doctor in Bianliang City. He first performed acupuncture on him, and then fed him some precious life-saving medicines, and only then did he recover.
Everyone stood where they were and listened patiently.
"Alright, I'm already dying, and you're still joking with me. Besides, you're all in your fifties or sixties, cough cough cough."
So he couldn't say that he hated Lu Yijian that much.
Lu Yijian looked at him gratefully, then looked at Li Di and said the same thing to him.
Lu Yijian was about to say something to his colleagues when he suddenly started coughing violently.
He whispered, "I promise."
But the Lu family is a truly wealthy family. It may be an exaggeration to say that they are rich enough to rival a country, but it is definitely not an exaggeration to describe them as having piles of gold and jade.
Because Lu Yijian was not just ill, but was already terminally ill and about to die.
If Lu Yijian had not been the leader who decided to establish the Political System Council, he probably would not have seized power so early.
But Zhao Jun gently placed his hand on his and slowly pressed it down. This was the first time he took the initiative to grab Lu Yijian's hand, and it was also the first time he reconciled with this old man who had once been at odds with him.
You know your own body, and such comfort is meaningless.
The room became dark, with only a bright lamp nearby still emitting light, and Lu Yijian's face was hidden in the shadow of the lamp.
Due to his old age and frailty, he was unable to climb to the top of the mountain and collapsed on the way up. This was not only a regret for Lü Yijian, but also for Wang Sui, Sheng Du, Wang Zeng and others. In the future, it might also become a regret for Yan Shu, Cai Qi, and Song Shou.
Lu Yijian responded softly, as if his energy had been drained out after saying these two sentences, and he fell down limply.
It allows them to find the meaning of their lives in the rest of their lives.
When Zhao Jun heard this, he did not answer immediately, but looked at him seriously.
Lu Yijian spoke in a long voice, "From that moment on, we were naturally willing to give you this authority. After eleven years of glory, you have not let us down, and ultimately enabled the rise of the Song Dynasty!"
However, as a politician, Lu Yijian naturally could not just sit at home and wait for death.
Li Di poked his head out and said, "Old man, didn't you spend the first half of your life fighting against me? I'm not even leaving yet, why are you leaving first?"
Lü Yijian smiled bitterly and said, "My death is approaching."
Not only did Li Di fail to defeat Lu Yijian, he was also expelled from the court. He was indeed a defeated general.
"Seriously?"
No matter how much you fear death or don't want to die, the aging of the body is inevitable and it will eventually come to this.
Lu Yijian also laughed.
"I think it's okay. Maybe Lu Gong can see the birth of his great-grandson during this holiday."
Can humans go beyond the solar system and look into the more distant parts of the Milky Way?
Zhao Jun was a little surprised, but he turned around and said to everyone, "Alright, everyone, don't gather around. The court still has a lot of government to deal with. Let's leave it at that for today. I want to talk to Prime Minister Lu alone."
Perhaps the appearance of Zhao Jun brought the last ray of hope to these old men who once only knew how to fight for power and try every possible means to suppress their political opponents.
In the five thousand years of Chinese history, there are only a handful of great men like Huo Qubing, Zhuge Liang, etc. who made earth-shaking achievements as soon as they were born.
"Why do you say that? It's like the emperor is entrusting his son to someone else. And aren't you afraid that the person in the palace will find out?"
Lu Yijian's eyes became slightly cloudy.
Can humans solve cancer, AIDS, and ALS?
Zhao Jun saw that his chest was rising and falling and he was still breathing, so he placed him on the bed and let him rest in a comfortable position. Then he stood up and said, "I will govern the Great Song for you. This is my promise to you, Old Lü Gong."
After a moment he asked back, "Are you serious?"
Song Shou said sternly, "Lord Lu's devotion to his country and his people is evident to all heaven and earth. As the Vice Chancellor, I shall do my utmost to assist him. This is my duty."
Just as Wang Zeng was thinking about his offspring before he died, Lu Yijian immediately asked his family to notify Zhao Zhen after he woke up.
Everyone laughed.
Lu Yijian covered his mouth, then waved his hand and said, "It's okay, I can still live a little longer."
Lu Yijian was not angry because Zhao Jun did not comfort him, but was happy instead.
It cannot be said that Zhao Zhen was raised by him, but ever since he ascended the throne at the age of thirteen, the power of the court has always been in the hands of Empress Dowager Liu.
"Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Compared to Wang Xiaoxian's offspring who are mediocre, I still have an outstanding son who can become a prime minister in the future. I have nothing to worry about."
