The first thousand two hundred and eighty chapters grow others' ambition to destroy their own prestige
Hearing Du He's question, Chen Shuda sneered and said: "Okay, Du He, your ability to pretend to be stupid is really second to none. Let me ask you, was it you who did it when Chang'an Station disappeared?
?”
Du He said with a smile: "Mr. Chen, don't say it so harshly. I was indeed in charge of the Chang'an Station matter, but I was wiping the ass of your Rites Department. Ask Mr. Zhou Tongzhou, yesterday night, the station collapsed.
, a ruin will not only injure people, but also create a risk of fire. The Guancheng Brigade is responsible for the security of Jingzhao Mansion. Of course, it must provide timely help... Mr. Chen, there is no need to say thank you. I only need to pay the processing fee.
Just settle it. The labor fee, material fee, design fee, etc., add up to two thousand guan. Do you think you should send someone to the city management brigade, or should I have someone pick it up?"
Chen Shuda was stunned and looked at Du He in disbelief: "Are you crazy? How dare you ask me for money?"
Others also looked at Du He in surprise.
Du He, who demolished the Chang'an Station without permission, dared to ask the Ministry of Rites for money?
Du He said coldly: "Mr. Chen, you are working as a free labor force for the city management brigade? To tell you the truth, those who participated in the demolition of Chang'an Station last night were not only the manpower of the city management brigade, but also many craftsmen. These craftsmen are from Chang'an.
The homeless people in the city, old and young, just hope to sell their labor to make a living. If the Ministry of Rites does not give them money, there is no guarantee that they will do something drastic. You can do it as you see fit!"
Chen Shuda was completely stunned.
Shameless!
So shameless!
How dare Du He use such despicable means.
Chen Shuda turned around and said, "Your Majesty, please make the decision for me."
Li Er said in a deep voice: "He'er, don't be rude."
Du He shook his head and said: "Father, it's not that my son is making trouble unreasonably. Father must know how big Chang'an Station is. From midnight last night to dawn today, everything has been handled properly. In addition to the city management brigade, who else is there?"
Who can do it? Last night, the Guancheng Brigade mobilized more than 500 craftsmen to work in the cold wind. If these people did not pay back, they would probably be dissatisfied. At that time, the ministers would have no choice but to let them go to the Chen Mansion to find Mr. Chen.
!”
Li Er nodded and said: "I have just been to the place before Chang'an Station, and it was indeed shocking. Well, since many homeless craftsmen are involved, the money will be paid by the court. However, you can do it without permission."
I will never spare you the decision to demolish Chang'an Station... Also, the most important thing now, where did you get Goguryeo's envoy?"
Du He pointed to the south side and said: "Father, Ambassador Cui and others have arranged for their sons to be placed in the outer city, about three miles away from here."
Three miles to the south is the outer city.
And it has not yet reached the boundaries of Huxian County, Huxian Business Center and other places.
In other words, the area about three miles away was completely deserted.
Du He actually led Goguryeo's envoys to a place where no one can shit?
Li Er's expression changed.
Wang Gui grabbed Du He's sleeve and rebuked loudly: "Du He, Du He, you are really in big trouble this time. Do you know what the Goguryeo envoys want to do when they come to Chang'an?"
?They brought the credentials of the King of Goryeo. The King of Goryeo was so ambitious that he claimed to be the emperor and wanted not to pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty from now on. During this period, the court has been mediating with Ambassador Cui and others, but now you have tricked them.
When they get to the outer city, Mr. Cui and others will definitely be angry and think that the Tang Dynasty is humiliating them, so they will use this matter to put pressure on the court... Oh, you are so confused!"
Du He shook off Wang Gui's hand and asked: "Master Wang, do you mean that the Tang Dynasty regarded Goguryeo as its son, but Goguryeo wants to be brothers with us?"
Wang Gui sighed and said: "It's just that the words are rough and the reason is not rough."
Du He touched his chin and said: "Goguryeo is too courageous. If I had known about it, I would have beaten Ambassador Cui first to let him know how powerful the Tang Dynasty is..."
Everyone: "..."
Li Er came up and said: "He'er, there is no room for error in this matter. Quickly, take me to the outside of the city to have a look."
…
Du He was a little puzzled.
Why did a small Goguryeo envoy make everyone in the Tang Dynasty worry so much?
Does this count as encouraging others’ ambitions and destroying one’s own prestige?
Seeing everyone's anxious look, Du He immediately led everyone out of the city and rode a fast horse south along Anhu Avenue.
Soon, the destination was reached.
Everyone looked around and saw that the surroundings were deserted. Apart from the straight Anhu Avenue, all they could see were weeds.
Chen Shuda asked anxiously: "Where are Ambassador Cui and others?"
Du He pointed to a hill and said, "Mr. Chen, over this bridge is the new Chang'an Station."
New Changan Station?
Everyone looked puzzled.
But he saw Chen Shuda get off his horse and run over, rolling and crawling on the ground.
Everyone hurriedly followed.
Everyone hurriedly turned over the small beam that Du He mentioned, and saw a group of buildings on an open plain ahead, clustered together, like a small market town.
However, half of the people could not be seen, and it was very deserted.
Chen Shuda was the first to rush to one of the houses.
I saw a half-man-high piece of rotting wooden board standing at the door, with a few words written in charcoal on it: Chang'an Station.
Everyone almost vomited blood when they saw it.
No wonder Du He just talked about the new Chang'an Station.
I bet this is Chang'an Station.
Well, this building looks tall and nice.
But this place is too remote.
It is three miles away from Chang'an City, and it is not close to Anhu Avenue. If all the envoys coming to the Tang Dynasty are placed here in the future, are you sure they won't scold you?
Wang Gui said: "It's over...Ambassador Cui and others were looking for trouble in various ways, for fear that they would not be able to find a bargaining chip with us. Now, Du He has demolished the Chang'an Station and moved them to such a remote place. These people
, I’m afraid now I’m sure I’ll win!”
Changsun Wuji said harshly: "Du He is the sinner of my Tang Dynasty!"
"sinner……"
Everyone walked inside.
Came to the entrance of a courtyard.
When everyone heard Du He introduce that Ambassador Cui and others lived in the hospital, everyone hesitated.
Wang Gui said: "Master Chen, you are the Minister of Rites, and you should contact the envoys of various countries. You should go in!"
Chen Shuda shook his head like a rattle: "No, no, no, Mr. Wang, you are Situ, you should invite me first!"
Wang Gui took two steps back: "Let Master Changsun go in first!"
Changsun Wuji quickly stood aside: "Two adults, I will not get involved in this matter."
Everyone became very humble.
The reason is also very simple, that is, everyone has guessed that the envoys of Goguryeo are angry now. No matter who goes in, they will be affected by their anger. If the envoys of Goguryeo take the opportunity to attack, their own face will definitely be lost.
When Li Er saw this, his face turned dark.
Among the important officials who followed him, no one was willing to take the initiative to enter.
Do you want me, the emperor, to go in personally?
Just as he was thinking about it, he saw Du He striding forward and violently kicked the courtyard door several times.
