He had once again experienced Du He's eloquence. No wonder the civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty now rumored that Du He was the descendant of the Sophist, and he was indeed well-deserved.
After a long time, Li Ercai said angrily: "You know what the hell, although the Tubo people are poor, the Tubo cavalry is more powerful than the Turks back then. Just say that in the past few years, there have been frictions between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo at the border.
Quite, but Songtsen Gampo was a man who worked hard to govern. Tubo became increasingly powerful in his hands. Sometimes I can't sleep at night just thinking about it. Besides, in the war, it is my soldiers who die..."
Du He actually wanted to say, second brother, don't worry, Tubo can still thrive for a few years now, but in a few years there will be some civil strife, and it will become increasingly difficult. By then Songtsan Gampo will have to come to Chang'an.
Call me daddy and ask you to marry Princess Wencheng to him... In five years' time, the Tang Dynasty will become a prosperous age and all nations will come to court.
It's a pity that even if Du He said this, Li Er wouldn't believe it.
Seeing that Li Er's eyes were red and he was about to run away, Du He said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, please calm down. The price is still negotiable. I'll give you a 20% discount and 400,000 taels of silver. How about that?"
Li Er shook his head: "Not even four hundred thousand taels."
Du He chuckled: "Your Majesty, in fact, Princess Changle Lizhi and I really love each other. Why don't you just let us be together? Can you bear to watch such a pair of cute young people break up?"
"you give me……"
Before Li Er finished speaking, Du He took over and said, "Get out, right? OK, I'll get out right away!"
Du He turned around after finishing speaking.
Li Er shouted: "Stop for me!"
"Ah, Your Majesty, is there anything else?" Du He turned around and asked.
Li Er waved his hand and asked Zhao Yang and others to go out.
After everyone around has cleared away and the door to the imperial study room is closed.
Du He quickly stood aside: "Your Majesty, you don't want to kill me, do you?"
Li Er was very angry: "Du He, Du He, there are rumors outside that you are a big devil who is not afraid of anything, why are you afraid of death, hahaha..."
Du He: "..."
Li Er's expression turned serious and he said, "Du He, I have three questions to ask you."
"Your Majesty, please tell me."
"First," Li Er asked, "do you really like beauty?"
Du He nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: "Then there is fake love and true love."
"What about Yuanshu?"
"It's also true love."
"People should not be greedy." Li Er said through gritted teeth.
Du He shook his head: "I want them all. People are not greedy for money and waste their youth."
Li Er took a breath: "Second, you must tell me, where are you from? Don't tell me, you are that dude from the Du family. I watched him grow up with my own eyes. How much does he weigh? I am very worried.
clear."
Du He's expression changed.
This old guy actually noticed it a long time ago.
Seeing this, Li Er hurriedly said: "Don't worry, I won't hurt you. I'm just curious if there is another world, or in other words, heaven?"
When Du He saw this, he felt a little relieved.
Just now, after Li Er asked, he had quietly picked up the dagger hidden in his sleeve.
But if anything goes wrong, he will definitely take action without hesitation.
Du He then chuckled and said: "Your Majesty, you are wrong. I am Du He. It's just that I am Du He. It's just that by chance, my soul has gone to another world, perhaps, it is heaven.
"
Li Er was a little disappointed after hearing this: "Then how did you get those Chinese cigarettes?"
"Of course it was a gift from the immortal."
"Could it be that the immortal asked you to wander around the immortal world?"
Du He nodded.
After a long while, Li Er said lonelyly: "Next time you see an immortal, remember to tell him that if he allows me to visit the immortal world, I will have no regrets in this life."
The two were relatively speechless.
Du He would never tell the truth under any circumstances. As for whether Li Er believed it or not, that was not his concern.
After a pause, Li Ercai said: "Of course it's okay for a man to have three wives and four concubines, but what qualifications do you have to marry Yuanshu and Du He?"
When Du He heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.
…
Half an hour later.
Du He walked out of the imperial study room with satisfaction.
In the imperial study room, bursts of laughter from Li Er could also be heard.
As for what the two talked about in the past half hour, it remained a secret for a long time.
Zhao Yang, who was guarding the door, only heard Du He whisper: "Set a small goal first. When we become the Duke of the country, we will be qualified to marry two wives!"
As for what a wife is, Zhao Yang doesn't understand either.
He only felt that Du He was in a happy mood.
Then, Du He walked past Zhao Yang, but turned back and stared at the latter.
Zhao Yang was shocked when Du He saw him, so he asked: "County son, are you in trouble?"
Du He reached out and poked Zhao Yang's hat, and said viciously: "Traitor, if you dare to tell the truth next time, it won't be paper bullets, but cannonballs. With a bang, your head will be gone, and blood will flow all over the floor..."
Zhao Yang turned pale with fright: "Oh my god..."
He didn't react until Du He left for a long time.
…
The next day, Ximen Qing appeared at the door of the furniture factory early in the morning and was invited by Yang Hao to have a unique breakfast in the cafeteria.
Then he came to Du He and said, "Son of Lantian County, Your Majesty has ordered you to go to Tai Chi Hall to attend court together with the ministers."
Du He seemed to have guessed something, so he quickly dressed up and followed Ximen Qing into the palace.
When Du He walked into the Tai Chi Hall, the civil and military ministers were all surprised.
In everyone's impression, as long as Du He goes to the Tai Chi Hall, he will be ready for good things.
Everyone started talking about it.
Even Du Ruhui was secretly worried that this little brat had gotten into trouble again.
But I saw Du He walking into the hall with a happy face and greeting everyone familiarly.
Then, they saw Zhao Yang walking aside, taking out the imperial edict and reading it out: "Du He, the son of Lantian County today, is concerned about the country and the people, and has a heart for the country. He has an ingenious mind and invented the cannon. He thought of the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty who had been fighting hard on the front line for a long time.
, I specially present the method of making cannons to promote the prestige of our country and pacify the four directions. I am grateful for He's broad-mindedness. I specially confer Shang He as the county boss of Yi County. He can feed 700 households in the city. He is on the fourth rank. From now on, every household in the city can enjoy the food. In addition, he will be given silk.
Some silk and satin, a thousand taels of gold, ten thousand taels of silver, 100,000 coins..."
Everyone was stunned.
Everyone was so surprised that their mouths opened wide.
Uncle of Yi County?
That is the uncle of Kaiguo County.
However, Du He has only been the governor of Lantian County for less than three months.
The speed of promotion is faster than riding a fast horse.
Moreover, this Yi County is just south of Chang'an County and at the foot of the Qinling Mountains. It is a veritable Gyeonggi County.
In the blink of an eye, although Du He had not entered the court as an official, he had become a fourth-rank official. Even half of the people present had to say hello honestly when they saw him.
Many people are jealous and think, isn't he just a cannon?
But no one has ever seen what a cannon is. I only heard that Du He was carrying a cannon that day and blew up the house of Gongsong Zanbu with one shot.
