"Congratulations to the Supreme Being on the joy of Lin'er..."
The congratulations from Du Fuwei were mixed with a lot of envy and jealousy. He is much older than Li Po and is now in his early forties.
There were already a lot of children in the family, but after giving birth to a lot of daughters, there was still no son, which really made him dizzy. When he heard that the queen had given birth to a big fat boy, he was naturally filled with envy and jealousy.
This matter has become a problem for him. Every time he thinks about it, he feels that he has killed too many people in the past and done many bad things, and the retribution is on his own heirs.
But when he thought about it now, he felt that after the emperor raised his army, he killed many people and probably did a lot of bad things. Why did he have two sons? Why is God so partial?
It’s no wonder that he is like this. As a former prince and now one of the richest men in Chang’an, the King of Wu has no son to inherit the family business. Do you think it’s miserable?
Fortunately, there is someone who is worse off than him, and that is Dou Jiande. The former King of Hebei was deported to Beijing, and he probably hasn't recovered yet. I heard that he was extremely empty at his knees, and one of his daughters was lost for some reason.
Dou Jiande was there to compare, but it didn't show that he was anything like Du Fuwei.
In fact, both of them are a little unstable now. The old tribe is their fatal injury, and they are trapped in Chang'an, and their influence on the old tribe is fading day by day. However, once something goes wrong in their "hometown", they still have to bear a certain amount of responsibility.
s consequence.
Dou Jiande was so worried that he couldn't sleep because he was afraid that there would be trouble in Hebei and the couple would be killed.
And Du Fuwei had more troubles, because Fugong Tuo came to Chang'an, and even if Fugong Tuo left, there would still be people coming in the future.
This is the sequelae of him taking the initiative to surrender, which is far less straightforward than the one in Hebei.
……………………
Du Fuwei entered the palace today, naturally not specifically to congratulate the emperor.
Li Po received him in the Liangyi Palace, and he saw that he had come during the meal. Li Po liked him, so he reluctantly entertained him in the Liangyi Palace.
Seeing him looking very hurt when he was congratulating him, Li Po rolled his eyes and understood the crux of the matter. Ha, you are a loser without a son, I don't want to argue with you.
"We're happy together. Your mother-in-law is getting married soon, right? I'll go have a glass of wedding wine then. You can't treat me like a bad guest."
Du Fuwei's expression suddenly changed, he was so happy that he cupped his hands and said with a smile: "If the Supreme Being can come here in honor of you, what's the problem if I give up my father-in-law's position to the Supreme Being?"
Li Po nodded with satisfaction. It was a bit inappropriate to kick his elders away at someone else's wedding, but who made him the emperor? It was his first time to marry someone, so he naturally had to occupy a place in it.
But he still said affectionately: "Wouldn't that really make you a bad guest? I think Yaoniang is a cheerful person. You and your wife have taught her well, so I have accepted her as my daughter. What do you think?"
This was a solid and unexpected surprise. Du Fuwei didn't agree with anything, and his whole body was overflowing with joy.
Immediately nodded, "I listened to what the Supreme said, but Yaoniang was a bit... rude. I was still worried that he wouldn't be able to marry. Even if he married into a good family, he would be disliked. Now it seems that I am worrying too much.
With the Supreme Being as her backer, how can anyone dare to dislike her?"
The flattery was more solid, and Li Po was also very happy. It was an established strategy for him to win over Du Fuwei. If he couldn't marry him, he would just recognize him as a godson, lest this guy feel something was wrong at any time and take that guy away.
The head was missing from his neck. In that case, Li Po would be disgraced, wouldn't he?
Du Fuwei's daughter is quite strong... Let's first observe a moment of silence for Du Zhenglun.
Li Po didn't dwell too much on this topic. Now he has realized that his reputation is not good. Many people in the capital are spreading his story. It is estimated that it will spread to other places soon. I don't know who has the bad reputation.
Human-to-human...
So when it comes to other people's daughters, he can't say too much. If he talks too much, the guy in front of him might think that he is interested in other people's daughters and what he wants.
Thinking of this, Li Po said in his heart, "Damn it..."
……………………
The two of them drank a few glasses of wine and talked to Du Fuwei. The atmosphere was mostly good. Only Feng Deyi could compare with it, and no one else could.
"The Academy is almost ready. There are some things that the Supreme Being has to say, especially regarding land acquisition. Even if I ask for money, no one will let go. It is not the fault of others. If someone wants to occupy my two pieces of land, I will do the same.
If his head is on fire, tell him to get away quickly."
Li Po couldn't help but smile after hearing this. The manor in Jingzhao Mansion was a forbidden area for nobles. If you didn't have a place around the capital, how dare you call it "noble"?
Some families have even been in business for hundreds of years, and no one will let them out without any special reason, unless they commit a serious crime, such as confiscating the house and exterminating the family. Then the nobles will swarm you like wolves and eat you without leaving any bones.
What is family property? In the eyes of people in this world, land is family property...
"Don't worry, there are still many reasonable people."
Li Po said, and the two of them looked at each other and laughed, because both of them had met many reasonable people.
Li Po felt that something was wrong in the atmosphere, so he reflected on himself and said, "Please tell me if there are any other obstacles. It's a good idea that you chose to build the academy in the southern suburbs, and I feel safe letting people do it."
Just remember one thing, the academy is the place where talents are selected and cultivated. Everything must be done according to the rules. You cannot have one idea today and another idea tomorrow. Moreover, regardless of whether the students are rich or poor, they must be treated equally. Don't make so much mess in the academy.
statement.
Only in this way can the atmosphere be clear, students will be respected, and the talents cultivated will be upright and understand the principles of what to do and what not to do.
You have also seen the Chang'an Academy. The academic style is very prosperous. I hope that the academy you built will be like this. It will be praised by the world in the future. Both you and I will have great merits."
Du Fuwei nodded solemnly, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. Your Majesty must have noticed that I built the academy to seek fame, but I don't want to build a bandit's nest.
The Supreme Being pointed out that a few people with great knowledge should come to teach in the academy. I... am from a low background and have never studied much. I will definitely hang out in the academy less often in the future, lest those students learn my faults."
Li Po couldn't help but laugh, raised his glass and invited him: "You are a serious person, it is not easy to become famous? I think you are a prince in the same place, but you can put down your authority and come to Chang'an to meet me. This is already a legend...
I will not let you down, no matter what, I will make your name known to the world. In the future, when people in the world talk about us, it will no doubt be a good story."
Du Fuwei laughed and raised his glass in response...
