The first thousand two hundred and ninety-three chapters plan
A few days passed.
The imperial court issued another edict.
Wei Zheng, the imperial censor, served as the right prime minister.
At this point, the three princes and two prime ministers of the imperial court were all in place.
The position of the Imperial Censor is vacant, and many people are ready to take action. However, His Majesty Li Er seems to have no intention of choosing a new Imperial Censor.
…
time flies.
It will be New Year soon.
Chang'an City was decorated with lanterns and colors everywhere, and it was full of joy.
New Year's Eve, night.
This is a day for families to reunite.
The only thing missing from the Duke's residence in Lai was Du Gou and his wife.
Du Ruhui was inevitably a little sad.
Du Jinwei sat next to Du Ruhui, calling her grandfather one after another, which cleared away all the depression in Du Ruhui's heart.
Du Ruhui asked curiously: "Jinwei, your parents are far away in Dengzhou, don't you miss them?"
Du Jinwei shook her head: "Grandpa, what's so good about Dengzhou? The food in Dengzhou is not as delicious as the food cooked by my second uncle."
"Ha ha……"
One sentence made everyone laugh.
Only then did everyone realize that Du Jinwei had such delicious meals that even her parents had forgotten about her.
Du He touched Du Jinwei's head and said, "You little clever guy!"
Du Jinwei said dissatisfied: "Second uncle, I am no longer a child, please don't touch my head."
Du He touched her head again and nodded: "Okay!"
Du Jinwei: "..."
…
Fangfu.
The family is sitting together having a meal.
Fang Xuanling was unhappy.
Mrs. Fang put down the bowl and chopsticks and asked, "Master, are you missing your beloved wife?"
Fang Xuanling nodded: "Yes, Yiai has been to Jiangnan for more than half a year. I thought he would come back during the New Year. Who knows, he wrote a letter saying that he was in Jiangnan and that he had more important things to do after the New Year. I just came back, what do you mean by this... Well, he is also a student of Du He. You see, Dai Jinyun, the fool in the Dai Mansion, has become a member of the Taxation Department of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Wei Shuwan has also become the magistrate of Hu County. The stupid son of Yuchi Laohei's family also joined the Forbidden Army and was appreciated by His Majesty. You said that my beloved has been messing around with Du He and has not made a name for himself so far. What should we do?"
Mrs. Fang said: "In that case, let him go home when he comes back after the new year, go back to the Imperial College and study hard, and then you can go and ask Your Majesty to give him an official position."
Fang Xuanling shook her head: "Madam, today is different from the past. Look at the sons of the Wei Zheng family, the boys from the Qin family, the Yuchi family, the Dai family... these guys, all the titles ,Official positions are earned by oneself. If I go to ask Your Majesty to give my beloved an official position, Your Majesty will not laugh at me. In the future, how will I face the civil and military officials of the dynasty... It's all Du He? , which ruined the atmosphere of the court."
Mrs. Fang said confusedly: "According to the master's wishes, what should we do?"
Fang Xuanling shook her head depressedly: "Right now, I'm very upset. Let's wait until my beloved comes back."
At this moment, the housekeeper hurried in and said loudly: "Master, the letter from Jiangnan was sent by the young master."
"Bring it here quickly!"
Fang Xuanling was in a hurry.
After hearing Fang Yiai's letter, the whole family couldn't sit still.
After reading the letter, Fang Xuanling suddenly laughed and said: "Yi'ai wrote a letter saying that he had set off to return to Chang'an. This letter was written more than a month ago. Now, Yi'ai estimates that he is halfway there. Around the Lantern Festival, I think we can reach Chang'an."
"Very good……"
Everyone became happy.
Fang Xuanling was in a good mood and started drinking and eating.
…
After the New Year.
Du Heben planned to rest for a while before going to work in the Host and Guest Department of the Etiquette Department.
Unexpectedly, in the afternoon of that day, news came from Zhang Jian: Goguryeo's envoys were preparing to return to Goguryeo in a few days.
When Du He heard the news, he hurried to Hu County.
Not far from Huxian Dream Group.
There doesn't seem to be anything special about this place from the outside, but every hidden corner is full of hidden sentries, and most people will be captured as soon as they get to the outside.
As soon as Du He's motorcade appeared, several secret sentries jumped out to lead Du He's way.
When we walked into a mountain col, we could see large camps all around us from a distance.
A large flag fluttered in the cold wind.
This place is the camp of the Mighty Legion.
The Mighty Legion is a private army established by the Prince Consort's Mansion in Hu County and is approved by Li Er.
This army only maintains a hundred men, and all expenses are drawn from the Prince Consort's Mansion.
Du He walked into the camp and asked people to call Xu Zhengdao and Guishen.
After not seeing each other for many days, the two of them have matured a lot, their murderous aura has subsided, and they already look like they have the spirit of a general.
Du He invited the two of them to sit down and said: "Ze Cheng must have told you that in a few days, the Goguryeo delegation will return to Goguryeo. According to the agreement between me and Cui Enshun, Cui will join the Dream Group. This time, I
A large number of manpower will be sent to Goguryeo to build glass factories, furniture factories, etc. The specific candidates have been selected by Lao Ma and are ready to go at any time, but there is something I am worried about..."
Xu Zhengdao asked curiously: "Master, you are worried about the safety of these people and want us to select a group of people to follow them to Goguryeo?"
Du He shook his head: "No, I want you two to lead a powerful army, disguise themselves, and go to Goguryeo together... Cui Enshun, who has been as well-behaved as a lamb in Chang'an City in the past few months, has become a trail
He hasn't found anything suspicious for a long time, but I still can't trust him. Therefore, when you take people to Goguryeo, you must be on guard against Cui Enshun and the Cui family... If nothing happens, just treat it as if everyone is going to Goguryeo to play.
If something unexpected happens, you can play your role."
The ghost said: "Master, do you want to train soldiers?"
Du He nodded: "Yes, the Mighty Legion is not an ordinary army. It is a special force. It has been training for more than a year now. It's time to practice. What do you two think?"
Snapped.
Xu Zhengdao stood up and said with a smile: "That's great. I've been tired of staying here for a long time. Now I can go to Goguryeo, which is a dream."
The ghost nodded: "I will obey the young master's arrangements."
Du He stood up and said, "You should prepare yourselves. This matter must be kept confidential."
"yes!"
…
Chang'an Station.
The Goguryeo mission, which had stayed in Chang'an for several months, was finally ready to set off.
Cui Enshun asked someone to bring the news to Du He. Du He had made arrangements a few days in advance and went to Chang'an Station in person to see him off.
Cui Enshun was flattered, "Oh, I haven't had time to go to the Lai Kingdom Palace to congratulate my consort on his promotion. My consort is now serving as the Chief Guest Officer of the Ministry of Rites. From now on, he will have frequent contacts with foreign envoys like us..."
Du He waved his hand: "A big official position is not worth mentioning. Ambassador Cui, are you used to it in the Tang Dynasty?"
Cui Enshun said excitedly: "I'm used to it, I'm used to it, I'm so used to it. If it weren't for my king's order, I wouldn't want to stay in Chang'an and never go back... Prince Consort, what about cooperation?"
Du He smiled and said, "Ambassador Cui, don't worry. The most important thing in our dealings is sincerity. A few days ago, I had people prepare it. All the craftsmen and equipment are in place and ready to go at any time. When we arrive in Goguryeo, we will not leave."
In one month, we can create a scaled-down version of the Dream Group, and the two of us can make a lot of money in Goguryeo by working together!"
"The consort is so considerate and admirable!" Ambassador Cui said happily, "It is rare to meet the consort. Today, I specially asked our accompanying chef to prepare Goguryeo's specialty dishes. Please be sure to enjoy it."
"If that's the case, then I'm sorry to bother you." Du He happily accepted.
