The first thousand two hundred and eighty-eight chapters
Faced with Li Er's aggressive gaze.
Faced with the puzzled looks of the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty.
Du He bowed and said: "Father, I am not dissatisfied, nor do I dare to be dissatisfied. It's just that... I want to use these rewards to exchange for a condition, and I ask my father to agree."
"Oh?" Li Er was slightly surprised: "What is so important that you are willing to exchange for such a generous reward?"
Du He straightened up, took out a memorial from his sleeve, raised it above his head, and said loudly: "Father, this is the memorial that my father asked his son to send to the palace. A few months ago, my father already submitted the memorial, asking my father to allow it."
At that time, my father did not agree to become an official... A few months passed by in a flash. My father was recuperating in the mansion every day, but he was thinking about the court in his heart. He wished he could return to the court to be loyal to his father and contribute to the Tang Dynasty.
However, he has more ambition but lacks strength, and his physical condition is getting worse day by day. My father has no face to see the emperor, so he specially entrusts his son to deliver this memorial to his father... The reward given by the father to his son is no longer limited to
To describe it as generous, it is simply a great gift. However, I would rather not receive these rewards. I only ask my father to allow my father to serve as an official for the sake of my filial piety."
At the end of the sentence, Du He groaned and choked with sobs.
He looked up.
Many ministers saw that both sides of his cheeks were already wet with tears.
Li Er asked Zhao Yang to bring up the memorial and read it himself.
This is Du Ruhui's handwriting, and every sentence is spoken from the bottom of his heart, with deep feelings.
Men will cry when they see it!
The woman was silent for a while after watching it!
After a long while, Li Er put down the memorial and sighed heavily.
Then he said: "Keming has followed me for more than 20 years, and he has been working hard to make suggestions for me and work tirelessly... I thought that Keming would follow me for the rest of my life, but who would have thought that his body could not hold on any longer. I always thought
At this point, I can’t sleep or eat well... It’s just that Keming wants to resign and go into seclusion, but I can’t agree to this.”
Du He was stunned and asked: "Father, why is this?"
Li Er thought for a while, looked at Changsun Wuji and others, and said: "My dear friends, I have been thinking about one thing recently, and that is that Keming, as the right prime minister, has done too much for the country and the country of the Tang Dynasty.
Du Gou, the Duke of Lai Kingdom, has been fighting pirates in Dengzhou all year round, and Du He has made many contributions. Therefore, I plan to promote Keming to the rank of Taiwei, and Keming will take the position of Taiwei, so that he can participate in major matters.
I don’t usually go to court to make decisions, what do you think of your Majesty’s wishes?”
Wang Gui and Changsun Wuji jumped out at the same time and shouted in unison: "Your Majesty..."
Both were prepared to object.
But, I didn't expect it to be a collision.
Wang Gui said with a smile: "Lord Changsun, you should speak first!"
Changsun Wuji said: "Master Wang, you should speak first!"
The two of them were humble.
At this moment, Du He knelt down on the ground and said loudly: "My dear father, thank you for your kindness. As the saying goes, a son never talks about the faults of his father and his son, but today I want to say that although my father has worked hard all his life,
, but with so much virtue and ability, I can serve as a Taiwei. This is all because of the love of my father. I would like to express my gratitude to my father for his kindness. After the dynasty is over, I will go back and tell my father the good news..."
What?
Wang Gui and Changsun Wuji were stunned at the same time.
All civil and military officials in the dynasty were a little dumbfounded.
But I heard Li Er say: "My dear friends, since you have no objection, then this matter has been decided."
Wang Gui shouted: "Your Majesty..."
Li Er raised his hand and stopped him: "Wang Aiqing, I know what you mean. You want to say that Keming has worked hard for the people all his life, and just letting him serve as a Taiwei is not enough to show my intentions, right? However, Keming is already among the three nobles.
, and he is the Duke of the country. No matter how great his merits are, it will be difficult to be promoted again. Ke Ming will definitely understand my hard work."
Wang Gui almost vomited blood.
He said: "Your Majesty, what I want to say is that promoting Prime Minister Du to the rank of Taiwei is a big deal. Should we think twice before doing it? At least we should ask the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty for their opinions..."
Li Er was stunned and said: "I have asked you just now, but you have nothing to say. Well, Wang Qing's family, this matter has been decided."
All civil and military officials in the dynasty wanted to vomit blood.
Promoting one of the three princes to Taiwei is a top priority. It should be fully discussed by the civil and military officials of the court, and it may not be decided for several months.
Well now, Du He and His Majesty Li Er sang and harmonized, and in the blink of an eye, they made a decision.
Then I heard Li Er say: "Okay, He'er, I know you are filial, but you deserve all the rewards I give you. The man from Huyi County, the chief guest of the Ministry of Personnel, the foreign minister, it is still you.
of."
Du He bowed and said: "Thank you very much, Father!"
Ministers, I'm going to vomit blood again!
Du He is so lucky!
Wang Gui couldn't help but whispered: "It's a good move to retreat in order to advance... Du Helai's appearance actually made His Majesty feel compassionate, alas!"
Chen Shuda said: "Why not? This guy Du He is really a monster. If he hadn't suddenly made so many great contributions, how could Prime Minister Du have ascended to the position of Taiwei?"
At this time, Li Er suddenly said: "Dear dear friends, the matter of Du Aiqing has been settled, and Du He's reward has also ended, but there is one more thing... that is Du Gou, the eldest son of Laiguo Duke, left five years ago
Chang'an, went to Dengzhou to serve as Sima of Dengzhou. For five years, he has been fighting pirates at sea, and was even injured, leaving behind the root of the disease. This is the pillar of the Tang Dynasty. What do you think should be done with it?"
Yuchi said in a respectful voice: "You should be rewarded heavily!"
Li Er nodded: "Here, Xuandu Gou comes to see you!"
…
Outside the gate of Tai Chi Hall.
Down the long steps.
Du Gou stood where he was, motionless as a mountain.
He was wearing a black shorts with several holes in his body. His hair was tied up but a little messy.
The most important thing is that he has dark skin and a short beard that has just grown out around his mouth.
Du Gou stood there without saying a word, giving people a huge sense of oppression.
The Imperial Guards standing guard all around looked at him with admiration.
Some of the Imperial Guards began to discuss in low voices.
"Look at that man, he's so murderous. I bet he's a killer!"
"What kind of killer? He is clearly a general who has been on the battlefield for many years. You only saw the fierce aura on his body, but you ignored the wisdom in his eyes. You see, his eyes seem to be able to see through everything!"
"Oh, he probably came back from the battlefield in the northwest and is just waiting to be summoned by His Majesty to be promoted to a noble rank."
As he said this, several people were even more impressed.
Not far away, Du Gou's body was trembling slightly, and he was complaining in his heart: He'er, you are killing me. I said that I should just come to see His Majesty normally. You insist on dressing me up, and why do you ask me to pretend to fight on the battlefield?
A general for many years...it was okay for a short time, but over time, my whole body became stiff.
It turned out that Du Gou's dress and every move he made were all ordered by Du He.
As an honest person, Du Gou followed Du He's requirements and acted in a precise and orderly manner.
