The first thousand one hundred and fifteen chapters are those who ask for it
I did all this not to prove anything, just to get back what belongs to me.
Changsun Wuji widened his eyes and asked: "Du He, what are you talking about? What belongs to you, does Duke Hui belong to you?"
"Yes, Du He, your tone is too arrogant."
"When did the position of Duke Hu Guo belong to you?"
Everyone also said this.
Du He sneered at the corner of his mouth: "Everyone, if I remember correctly, my father planned to make me the Duke of Hu from the beginning. To be fair, destroying the Lu family and regaining thirty-six counties in one state would not cost the entire Tang Dynasty.
Isn't it too much to reward a duke for such meritorious service? However, your lords have worked so hard and tried all kinds of excuses to finally turn the dukedom into a county barony.
Have you taken it away?"
"Now," Du He turned around and bowed to Li Er, "Father, I have only one request, please make my father the Duke of Hu."
Li Er thought for a while and said happily: "Okay, Du He, I promise you that I will grant you the title of Duke of Hu. What do you think?"
"No!"
"Your Majesty, think twice!"
"Your Majesty, you must not do this!"
Changsun Wuji said impassionedly: "Your Majesty, no, Du He is a commoner. If we directly make him the Duke of Hu, I am afraid it will chill the whole world. People in the world will say that Du He is your Majesty's son-in-law."
, he is a prince-in-law, and he has been favored by his majesty, so he may not be able to convince the public by becoming Duke of Hu. Besides, Du He is still young, and young people should practice more. It is not a good thing to rise too high."
"Your Majesty, what Lord Changsun said makes sense."
Everyone gave advice one after another.
Li Er said in embarrassment: "But if Du He has achieved such great achievements, how can he convince the public if he doesn't get a reward?"
Du He said directly: "My lords, you are really shameless. You are so shameless when you use these reasons to coax a three-year-old child to prevaricate me."
Everyone: "..."
Changsun Wuji looked at Du He and said with some embarrassment: "Du He, according to tradition, this title has always only been promoted by first-class people. How can anyone jump from a county prince to a prince? It's better to do it like this and give it to him.
How about you reward a county prince? I've already skipped a level."
"Yes, Du He, just accept it."
"Skipping first class has been rare in ancient times."
"You just have to accept it when it's good."
Everyone advised Du He.
Du He's face was full of anger and he said: "Okay, your shamelessness has successfully defeated me. However, don't be complacent. In a month, the position of Duke Hu will still be mine."
Du He was very angry.
Everyone had a smile on their faces.
It was not easy to finally contain Du He from flying into the sky.
As for what Du He said about getting the position of Duke Hu within a month, no one took it seriously.
Do you think this title is just a piece of cabbage? How much is it worth three cents for one penny?
Changsun Wuji recorded Du He's achievements in his merit book.
Wang Gui, who wrote four edicts in a row, was no longer around, and finally everyone recommended Gao Shilian, the Minister of Civil Affairs, to do this.
In the fifth edict, Du He made great achievements and was granted the title of Duke of Huyi County, with 2,000 households living in the city, and the second rank.
I think that when Du He was transferred to Hu County as the county magistrate, he happened to be the Duke of Huyi County as well.
A man from Jianguo County!
The founding county!
Founding County Count!
Founding County Marquis!
Founding Duke!
Previously, Du He spent almost two years.
This is already a very scary speed.
But now, it only takes less than an hour for Du He to complete this process.
Many people were speechless.
God, even a sweaty BMW can't be that fast.
Everything was taken care of, and when everyone asked again and again and Du He had no new credit, he finally relaxed completely.
At this time, Li Daozong, the Minister of Punishment, came over and said to Du He: "Congratulations, Duke Huyi, but there is one more thing. Since it is a matter here, can you send someone to Lu Mingzhou and others who were captured by you immediately?
In Chang'an, will the Ministry of Punishment handle the matter?"
Du He looked at Li Daozong and said, "Master Li, just now, you also join them in thinking that it is inappropriate for me to be granted the title of Duke of Hu, right?"
Li Daozong didn't know why: "...It seems...right, what does this have to do with this case?"
Du He crossed his arms and asked, "What did you just say?"
"I said... Lu Mingzhou and others need to be escorted to Chang'an as soon as possible, and the case will be heard by the Ministry of Punishment."
Du He looked confused and said: "What Lu Mingzhou? What escort?"
Li Daozong almost vomited blood: "Didn't you capture the rebels like Lu Mingzhou and Lu Huayuan? According to the rules, you have to escort these people to Chang'an as soon as possible."
"Oh," Du He suddenly realized, "I'm sorry for you talking about this. Mr. Li, Lu Mingzhou and others have already escaped. You asked me for anyone, but I don't have anyone. You want to investigate the case, so go and chase it yourself."
Li Daozong: "...you, you..."
He turned around helplessly and said to Li Er: "Your Majesty, please take a look at this matter."
Li Er blackened his face and said, "Du He, don't mess around."
Du He said: "To inform my father, the traitor Lu Mingzhou and others, there are more than a hundred people in total. I only have an army of beggars in my hands. It is not easy to guard them. Therefore, just before I entered Chang'an City, this
The batch of people have actually run away."
Ran?
Everyone was a little dumbfounded.
Changsun Wuji couldn't help but said: "Du He... Since Lu Mingzhou and other traitors have all escaped, then you just used this as a credit to get a title? Aren't you lying?"
Du He turned to look at Changsun Wuji, "Master Changsun, take a closer look. What is recorded in the merit book?"
Changsun Wuji opened the credit book again. Du He's last credit was that Du He captured Lu Mingzhou and other traitors.
Du He said: "Lord Changsun, it is clearly written here that I captured Lu Mingzhou and other rebels. Yes, I was captured, but now they have escaped."
Changsun Wuji: "..."
He almost couldn't help but spurt blood.
Everyone was just about to say something.
But Li Er waved his hand: "Okay, Du He, you can go down. It must be extremely hard to rush back from Youzhou. Let's take a few days to rest."
"Father, my son, please retire."
Du He turned around and left.
When Li Ke saw this, he also followed Du He outside.
The two walked outside.
Li Ke hadn't even put down his rolled-up sleeves yet, "Teacher, these guys are bullying people too much. The good Duke Hu is gone like this, and I'm not willing to accept it for you."
Du He walked forward with his hands behind his back and said nonchalantly: "The title is something external to the body. Just look at it as Duke Hu. In less than a month, it will be mine."
Li Ke was surprised and said: "Teacher, why did you argue so hard just now?"
Du He smiled and explained: "Your Highness, this is called strategy. The ancients said it well, those who seek for the superior will get it, and those who seek for the superior will get it. After the fourth edict is issued, I am the Marquis of Huyi County.
, if I didn't stand up and say that I must be the Duke of Hu, these old guys would think of a way to promote me to the next level at most, that is, to the Duke of Huyi County. But I suddenly expressed my request, and they didn't
The only way is to give me a Huyi County Duke, do you understand?"
After hearing this, Li Ke was so impressed that he fell to the ground.
