Du He left the Lai Kingdom Palace and walked into the imperial city.
On the way to Tai Chi Hall.
He couldn't help but laugh at himself.
What I am doing is just plotting against the current emperor.
If others know about it, they might report him for rebellion. Is the emperor someone you can plot at will?
But for the sake of the Lai Kingdom government and his own future, he had to do this.
There were only two paths before Du Ruhui: one was to continue serving as the Right Chancellor and then die of exhaustion; the other was to become an official and stay away from the court, and the Laiguo Palace would no longer be one of the most powerful palaces in Chang'an City.
Du He must create a third way, which is to let Du Ruhui take the position of Taiwei and rank among the three princes.
With his thoughts on his mind, he had already arrived in front of Tai Chi Palace.
······
In the Tai Chi Hall.
Morning morning is almost over.
The whole court was very happy when two ministers, Wang Gui and Changsun Wuji, who had just recovered from serious illness, arrived.
Ordinarily, these two ministers, Situ and Sikong, no longer need to take care of the affairs of the court, but these two people can't stay idle and have great influence. Therefore, once these two people appear in the morning court, their influence is no less than that of the two left and right.
Prime Minister.
It was about to disperse.
Ximen Qing came in and reported: "Your Majesty, the chief minister of Jingzhao Prefecture has joined the army, and the consort Du He wants to see you."
Duhe?
Everyone was stunned.
"Du He is just a small soldier joining the army now. What is he here to do?"
"This is against the rules!"
"Even if something happens to Jingzhao Mansion, Liu Wentong will come to court."
Everyone was talking a lot.
But I heard Li Er say: "Let him come in."
"Xuanduhe comes to see you!"
Du He walked into the Tai Chi Hall with a solemn and solemn expression and went straight to the front.
Without waiting for Li Er to ask questions, he said loudly: "Father, I am not qualified to come to the morning court. However, my father is not feeling well, so he asked me to send you a memorial for your father to see."
Zhao Yang immediately took the memorial and handed it to Li Er.
Li Er opened the memorial and only read a few sentences before his expression became serious.
Du Ruhui's memorial was written entirely in accordance with Du He's requirements.
The man looked silent for a while.
The woman would cry after watching it.
Li Er was not only silent, but also felt sad.
Du Ruhui was his right-hand man. He had never thought before that Du Ruhui would one day retire from office.
When the ministers saw that Li Er was silent, they all raised their heads curiously.
After a while, Li Er raised his head and asked, "Du He, is your father's illness really that serious?"
Du He said: "For the record, my father's tuberculosis has been cured. However, my father is old and his body is no longer as good as when he was in his prime. Now, he can only eat a small bowl of rice porridge every day and cannot walk.
He gets angry every time he sticks an incense stick. He needs to sleep for more than eight hours a day. My father is powerless when it comes to government affairs..."
"Using copper as a mirror, you can straighten your clothes, using ancient times as a mirror, you can know the ups and downs, using people as a mirror, you can know the gains and losses, I am a mirror for your majesty, but now, I have to become an official, and the most sorry thing is your majesty...
These are my father’s exact words.”
After talking about it, Du He's voice was choked with sobs.
Use copper as a mirror to straighten your clothes!
Using the past as a mirror, we can know the ups and downs!
Using people as a mirror can help you understand gains and losses!
This sentence made everyone tremble.
I am Cao!
Mrs. Du is so shameless, she can boast of this.
Isn’t this bragging that he is His Majesty’s most capable and most capable minister who cannot be lost?
Many ministers' faces turned green.
Du He sneered.
A bunch of rubes.
Do you know what it means to play the emotional card?
This is a textbook emotional card.
Without this sentence, how could my father think of all the good things his father had done in the past?
Of course, this sentence was originally supposed to be a wise saying from Li Er. It was a famous saying that Li Er said out of sadness when Wei Zheng died.
Now it has been borrowed by Du He in advance.
Li Er muttered: "Using people as a mirror can reveal gains and losses. Ke Ming is a mirror for me. With him, he can check for my shortcomings, make suggestions for me, and even help me make decisions... Now, Keming wants to become an official and stay away from the court. I..."
For a moment, Li Er was talking like a sad old man.
Du He said loudly: "Please forgive me for my father's hard work all his life, and allow him to become an official and enjoy the happiness of family."
Everyone immediately stood up and waited for Li Er's reply.
Li Er frowned.
He thought to himself, if I really allow Ke Ming to take up the official position, how will the people in the world look at me, and how will future generations evaluate me? Wouldn't some people say that I am ungrateful and ungrateful!
I can't do such a thing.
He looked at Du He, then at the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, and said in a deep voice: "I have my own concerns about Keming. If Keming wants to become an official, I will not allow it..."
Du He already knew the answer.
But at this moment, he was still shocked and asked: "Father, why is this?"
The ministers were also confused.
But I heard Li Er say: "Keming is my right-hand man and a hero of the Tang Dynasty. If he leaves the court, it will be a great loss to the Tang Dynasty. I will not allow him to become an official... However, he can no longer go to the court. , until he fully recovers."
Du He said hurriedly: "My son, I would like to thank my father for your kindness. Thank you very much for your kindness."
Li Er nodded and asked: "Dear ladies, do you have any opinions on my decision?"
"My lord, I have no objection."
Everyone said in unison.
What a joke.
Du He, this guy, has spoken out to that extent. If anyone dares to speak out against His Majesty's decision and spread the word, he will be punished by thousands of people.
Immediately, Li Er ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to reward Du Ruhui with many precious medicinal materials and a lot of silk.
…
After the dispersion of the dynasty.
Everyone walked out of the palace gate.
On the way, Changsun Wuji stopped Wang Gui.
Changsun Wuji asked: "Master Wang, what do you think of Du Xiang's appointment as official?"
Wang Gui said: "I'm afraid Du Xiang's body won't last long, and Du Gou is out, and Du He is just a small Jingzhao Prefecture chief to join the army. After thinking about it, Du Xiang is the best at this time. What shouldn’t be done is to ask for a job, but he actually did this, it’s really strange!”
Changsun Wuji smiled and said: "Master Wang has forgotten that the post of Taiwei in the court has always been vacant."
Wang Gui's eyes widened: "You mean, what Prime Minister Du is planning is the post of Taiwei?"
"It's not impossible. It seems that Du He is also a person who is unwilling to be lonely. However, no matter how good his calculation is, I'm afraid he won't be able to wait for that day. If he wants to ascend the post of Taiwei, no matter how favored your majesty is, No, we still need the civil and military support of the entire dynasty to convince the public, but Prime Minister Du may not be able to wait..." Changsun Wuji said with a sneer.
Wang Gui nodded: "Xiang Du is suffering from tuberculosis, and his health has never been good. If we follow what Lord Changsun said, I'm afraid he will never return to the court."
The two said, looked at each other, smiled, and then left one after the other.
Du He appeared from the side.
The conversation between Changsun Wuji and Wang Gui just now fell into his ears word for word.
He looked at the backs of the two people leaving and cursed: "Two bastards..."
