Lu Yijian fell ill. In fact, Lu Yijian's health has been not very good in the past two years. Many government affairs have also fallen on young ministers like Han Qi. However, this year Lu Yijian's health is particularly bad, and sometimes he can't go to court for a few days. For this reason, Zhao Zhen granted him permission to handle official duties at home without having to go to the Zhengshi Hall every day.

However, for Lu Yijian, who is nearly 70 years old, his life has finally come to an end. Since the beginning of winter, Lu Yijian's spirit has become weaker day by day. Whether it is the imperial doctor or the medical school in the palace, they all agreed after discussion that it is probably difficult for Lu Yijian to survive this winter with his physical condition.

If Liu E is included, Lu Yijian can be regarded as a veteran of the three dynasties and two dynasties were prime ministers. Although there were many controversies when he was in power, no one could deny his achievements. Especially with his assistance, Zhao Zhen not only managed the Song Dynasty in an orderly manner, but also recovered Yan Yun and defeated Dangxiang. This achievement was enough to make him one of the most famous prime ministers in the Song Dynasty.

Zhao Zhen was also very concerned about Lu Yijian's condition. Not only did he visit Lu Yijian's mansion several times, but he also asked the imperial doctor to stay in Lu Yijian's mansion to report Lu Yijian's health to the palace at all times. Zhao Zhen even recruited famous doctors from the people to treat Lu Yijian's illness. However, for a person whose life span is over, no amount of medicine or stone is of use.

That morning, Li Zhang also came to visit Lu Yijian with a heavy heart. In fact, he had visited him several times before, and had accompanied Zhao Zhen several times. Now Lu Yijian can no longer handle government affairs, but he is still willing to listen to what happened in the court, and sometimes his opinions will be sent to Zhao Zhen for his reference.

When Li Zhang came to the Lv Mansion, Lu Yijian's third son, Lu Gongzhu, also came out to greet him personally. Lu Gongzhu was also a prime minister in the future, but he was only in his twenties now. A few years ago, he was appointed as the Fengli Lang because of Lu Yijian's kindness. However, he soon passed the imperial examination and passed the imperial examination. Originally, the court summoned him to work at Zhaowenguan, but because Lu Yijian was in poor health, he did not take office, but focused on taking care of his father at home.

"How is Lu Gong's health?" Li Zhang and Lu Gongzhu were also very familiar with each other. They were not polite when they saw each other, but asked Lu Yijian's physical condition directly.

"My father is in good spirits today. He drank half a bowl of porridge in the morning and is now resting in the warm room!" Lu Gongzhu said happily at this time. Lu Yijian was seriously ill during this period, which made the atmosphere in the Lu Mansion quite heavy. In the past two days, Lu Yijian's condition seemed to have improved, which made them, the younger generations very happy.

Li Zhang immediately followed Lu Gongzhu into the mansion. When he saw Lu Yijian, he found that the other party was lying in the warm pavilion. The warm pavilion was specially built, with transparent glass on the top to allow the sun to shine. At this time, Lu Yijian was lying on a blanket lounge chair basking in the sun. Although he was very thin, his complexion looked pretty good.

"Father, Dingbei Hou is here to visit you!" After Lu Gongzhu entered the warm pavilion, he quickly walked to Lu Yijian and whispered.

When Lu Yijian heard his son's words, he immediately opened his eyes. When he saw Li Zhang coming in, he immediately smiled and even wanted to sit up, but Li Zhang stepped forward and supported him and said, "Mr. Lu, you are just lying down. I came here this time just to chat with you."

Hearing Li Zhang say this, Lu Yijian also gave up the idea of ​​sitting up, and pointed to the chair next to him and said, "Li Zhang, please sit down. I heard that the Liao army has destroyed Goryeo. What's the situation now?"

Although Lu Yijian was ill, he was still concerned about the affairs in the court, which made Li Zhang smile helplessly and said: "Don't worry, Lu Gong, although Goryeo has been destroyed, Goryeo is still in our hands. During this period, we have been using the threat of King Gaochang to incite the Goryeo people to resist and try our best to consume the strength of the Liao army."

"It's so good, but Goryeo was destroyed, and the Liao Kingdom was missing a restraint, which may cause us some trouble in the future!" Lu Yijian coughed lightly and said again, as if he was a little weak, and Lu Gongye next to him hurriedly handed his father warm water and served him and took a few sips.

Looking at Lu Yijian's gray hair and beard, as well as the deep wrinkles on his face, Li Zhang couldn't help but sigh, and immediately explained the Song Dynasty's harassment strategy against the Liao Kingdom again, which made Lu Yijian feel relieved. What he feared most was that Zhao Zhen looked down on the Liao Kingdom too contempt and wanted to achieve his contributions in one battle. However, it seems that Zhao Zhen still chose a more secure method.

Seeing that Lu Yijian stopped asking about the court, Li Zhang relaxed and started chatting with Lu Yijian. Lu Yijian seemed to know that Li Zhang did not want him to worry about the affairs in the court anymore, so he started chatting according to Li Zhang's words. Speaking of which, although the two were very different in age, they were in high positions and rarely had the chance to chat like they are now.

"Li Zhang, do you think that if it were a hundred years later, future generations would comment on me like this?" Lu Yijian suddenly changed the subject and asked Li Zhang very seriously.

"This... Lu Gong has been through the previous emperor, the queen mother and His Majesty, and specially assisted His Majesty in creating a prosperous era. Recovering Yan Yun and completing achievements that Taizu and Taizong could not accomplish at that time. I think later generations will definitely compare Lu Gong with King Han who helped Taizu and Taizong create the foundation of the Great Song Dynasty!"

King Han refers to Zhao Pu, the founding prime minister of the Song Dynasty. He once assisted the brothers Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Guangyi. After his death, he was posthumously awarded King Han. For the Song Dynasty, which had a different surname but no king, Zhao Pu was posthumously awarded as a king's title, which was enough to prove his achievements.

When he heard Li Zhang compare himself with Zhao Pu, Lu Yijian showed a complicated smile, then shook his head and said, "With the founding of King Han of Zhao, some people say behind his back that he is narrow-minded and unable to tolerate others, not to mention that I am a person with shortcomings. Not to mention, just being domineering has attracted many people to scold me, and some even say that I am arbitrary and jealous of the virtuous. I may not dare to say these things openly when I am alive, but if I die, I still don't know how these people will scold me?"

"How can my father say this? Your achievements are obvious to all. Who dares to talk about you behind your back?" Lu Gongye next to him couldn't help but persuade him.
