The first thousand and seventy-seven chapters protect the calf
Between Du He and Lu, Li Er chose the overall situation.
At this moment, a young eunuch came in from the door and reported: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister Du, Prime Minister, Changsun Sikong, Wang Situ, General Hou, etc. have arrived."
"Oh, let them in quickly." Li Er said anxiously.
Not long after, Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji, Wang Gui, Hou Junji, Li Daozong and other important officials of the imperial court walked into the Tai Chi Hall.
Everyone walked into the hall, but they looked confused.
Du Ruhui couldn't help but ask: "I wonder if your Majesty summoned the ministers early in the morning, but what is the important matter?"
Li Er hurriedly asked someone to give him a seat, and then said: "My dear friends, I invite you here today because of Du He and Lu's affairs."
Changsun Wuji sat down and asked: "Your Majesty, do you want to mediate the conflict between the Lu family and Du He? Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible. Du He is just a consort, and a commoner consort, while the Lu family is just a noble family.
, if Your Majesty really stands up, I am afraid that the people in the world will look down upon you, this is absolutely unacceptable."
"Yes, Your Majesty, you are a noble person, how can you condescend to discuss this matter with the Lu family because of Du He?"
"Your Majesty, please think again!"
Several ministers said immediately.
Hearing this, Li Er smiled and waved his hand: "Auxiliary machine, you guessed wrong. Yesterday, Lu Huayuan of the Lu family entered the palace..."
After hearing Li Er introduce what happened yesterday, everyone understood.
Lu wants to overturn Lu Mingyou's case.
If this happens, Du He will suffer a loss.
Li Er looked at the crowd and said: "My dear friends, Du He is a good boy and has made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty. Do you think there is anything wrong with me doing this?"
Du Ruhui said nothing.
Changsun Wuji took the lead and said: "Your Majesty, in everything you do, the overall situation is the most important thing. The Lu family is a powerful family that has stood for hundreds of years. Its power is intertwined. If you push too hard, there may be changes. Moreover, the nobles all over the world are watching this.
As for the matter, if the nobles take the opportunity to make an issue, I'm afraid it will be detrimental to the Tang Dynasty. If the Lu family completely returns to the court, other nobles will naturally feel at ease when they see it, and I support your majesty."
Wang Gui said: "Master Changsun's words are reasonable. In everything, the overall situation is the most important thing."
"O minister, support your majesty!"
Everyone supported Li Er, won over the Lu family, and at the same time gave Du He some punishment.
Li Er looked at Du Ruhui and asked, "Keming, what do you think about this matter?"
Du Ruhui, who has always been very Buddhist, suddenly said seriously: "Your Majesty, gentlemen, the overall situation is the most important thing. I understand this matter, but my son has done nothing wrong. If your Majesty really wants to attack He'er to win over the Lu family, please
We will establish the word as a basis. One year later, He'er's reputation will be restored, and He'er will be compensated. The compensation cannot be less."
When everyone heard this, their eyes widened.
Is this still the upright, upright and dedicated Du Ruhui?
Changsun Wuji couldn't help but said: "Prime Minister Du, you are the right-hand minister of the imperial court and His Majesty's right-hand man. This matter of wronging Du He is for the sake of the overall interests of the country. You open your mouth to establish documents and keep silent to compensate. You have something to do with those merchants."
What's the difference?"
Du Ruhui retorted: "Master Changsun, it is not your son who is suffering. Of course you are not in a hurry. Anyway, if I sacrifice myself to protect the overall situation of the country, I have nothing to say, but it is not okay to wrong my son. He'er wanted to marry him.
The two princesses have already given up the opportunity to become officials in the court and obtain titles. They are just civilians, and now they want to attack them. I totally disagree."
Although Lao Du has rarely expressed his views in court in recent years, now he has an angry look on his face when he protects the calf.
Wang Gui hurriedly advised: "Prime Minister Du, calm down the fire. We are no longer children in this matter. We must put the overall situation first. Besides, this matter of establishing written documents is just what a businessman calls it. Your Majesty is the leader of a country."
Sir, how can you establish evidence for this matter and prevent it from being laughed at?"
"Yes, Du Xiang, think twice!"
"Du Xiang, I have always admired you, but on this matter, I still agree with Lord Changsun."
Several ministers came forward to persuade me.
Du Ruhui opened his mouth. Of course he couldn't convince everyone, but he didn't admit defeat. In order to protect his calf, Lao Du also risked his life and even rolled up his sleeves to take action.
Just as there was a commotion in the main hall, Zhao Yang suddenly ran in and said, "Your Majesty, Prince Consort Du wants to see you."
Um?
Du He is here?
The people who were arguing suddenly fell silent.
Changsun Wuji suddenly said: "Your Majesty, Du He is here just in time. Please give Du He Xiaozhi some reason and affection. I believe he will definitely agree."
Du Ruhui flicked his sleeves: "Even if He'er agrees, I won't agree."
Everyone: "..."
Li Er said: "Let him come in!"
"yes!"
Not long after, Du He walked in and saw all the big shots in the court. He was startled and asked hurriedly: "Do you all know about this?"
Changsun Wuji said: "Yes, Du He, we all know... Now, the Lu family is very angry because of Lu Mingyou's incident. The Lu family is powerful and has great influence among the great families in the world. If I have wronged you,
, are you willing to calm down the Lu family's anger and maintain the overall stability of the country?"
Du He's eyes widened and he asked: "Master Changsun, do you mean to wrong me and please the Lu family?"
"Ahem..." Changsun Wuji waved his hand, "Of course I don't mean that, I just want to temporarily aggrieve you."
"Master Changsun, how do you know that the Lu family will agree? Could it be that you are very close to the Lu family?"
"Of course, the head of the Lu family, Lu Huaguang, has many connections with my grandson's family. If I come forward, the Lu family will definitely give me face." Zhangsun Wuji said proudly.
Du He suddenly opened his mouth in shock, then turned his head and said loudly: "Father, please send someone to arrest this traitor quickly."
What?
Changsun Wuji was dumbfounded.
Everyone else was stunned.
Li Er frowned, and there were ravines between his eyebrows, "Du He, what are you talking about?"
Du He bowed and said: "Father, you don't know something. The Lu family has already rebelled. Just now, Lord Changsun also said that the Changsun family and the Lu family are colluding, and they must be rebels. If we don't arrest him now, we will wait for a long time."
?If my father is unable to take action, then leave it to me now."
The Lu family rebelled?
Everyone looked at Du He like a fool.
Changsun Wuji shouted angrily: "Du He, don't slander me. When did I become a traitor? Also, the Lu family has sent Lu Huayuan to Chang'an. Yesterday, he went to the palace to meet with His Majesty, expressing that the Lu family is willing to surrender to the imperial court wholeheartedly.
, how can you rebel? Don't talk nonsense here."
"Yes, Du He, please stop messing with the meal."
"Yes, Du He must have spread rumors here because he didn't want to wrong himself."
Everyone said it one after another.
Li Er was also a little unhappy.
Du He shrugged helplessly.
At this moment, Ximen Qing hurried in, looking a little abnormal.
