Not long after, Li Er entered the imperial study room.
As a frequent visitor to the Imperial Study Room, Du He was of course not restrained. After entering, he greeted Li Er carelessly, and then without waiting for Li Er to sit down, he dragged out a revolving wooden chair from the corner and took care of himself.
sit up.
Li Er put down the memorial in his hand, raised his head, and stared at Du He.
Du He was also a bachelor, so he also stared at Li Er.
The two of them just stared at each other with big eyes and small eyes. Li Er didn't speak and Du He didn't bother to speak.
After a while, Li Er couldn't hold it any longer and asked first: "Hey, Du He, didn't you bring me something good? Why are you empty-handed? If you can't come up with anything that satisfies me today, I'll forgive you."
I can’t help you.”
Du He chuckled and said, "Your Majesty, I'm here to help you solve a big problem today."
"Oh?" Li Er was stunned and laughed in disbelief, "Du He, don't be ashamed of your words. As the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, I still have any problems that I need you to help me solve."
After hearing this, Du He stood up, came to the table, picked up a memorial, and said, "Your Majesty, isn't it uncomfortable to stay up late every day reading the memorial?"
Li Ershen nodded in agreement: "Yes, in recent years, my eyes have become blurry at night, especially late at night. When I see things, it is blurry."
Du He smiled and said: "Yes, your eyes are dim because of old age, so today, I specially sent you a pair of reading glasses for your majesty."
As he spoke, he took out a delicate box from his sleeve and placed it in front of Li Er.
Li Er asked curiously: "Reading glasses, what are these?"
Du He opened the glasses case and explained: "Reading glasses, as the name suggests, are used to solve the problem of blurred vision. Your Majesty, you can try them on first."
Li Er picked it up and studied it for a long time. He saw that the reading glasses could be folded in the middle, and there was a thin gold-plated chain on both ends of the temples. It looked not simple.
Du He watched helplessly as Li Er put his reading glasses in front of his eyes and complained: "This thing is just a toy, it has no use at all."
Du He was speechless for a while, and hurriedly took it over and demonstrated it to Li Er.
Li Er looked at it and said with a smile: "It turns out that it is worn like this. It looks very polite and has no violation. Let me try it."
With that said, he followed Du He's example, hung the chain around his neck and put on his glasses.
"oops……"
Snapped.
Li Eryi slapped the table, laughed, looked around, and said happily: "These reading glasses are really magical. After I put them on, I looked so clear. It's really amazing, it's really amazing, hahaha
, just a little dizzy."
Du He explained: "The more you wear it, the more you will get used to it."
"Yes, reading glasses, okay, Du He, you have indeed solved a big problem for me." Li Er was as happy as a child who got a favorite toy. He took off his reading glasses, looked at them, and put them on carefully.
.
Since the fifth year of Zhenguan, Li Er has found that his eyesight is getting worse day by day, especially at night. Seeing things is like looking at flowers in the mist. He can't see clearly. The closer he gets, the less clear he can see.
It became clear only after reaching a certain distance. I had been treated by imperial doctors for many years, and I took a lot of various medicines, but it still had no effect.
Nowadays, a pair of reading glasses has solved his pain point.
Li Er, who was originally furious because of Ma Zhou's rebellion, suddenly became happy.
Seeing this, Du He suddenly said: "Your Majesty, now Ma Zhou has rebelled and is making a big fuss. Everyone in Chang'an City knows about it. I am a little curious. Ma Zhou is an honest man and comes from a poor family. He is favored by your Majesty and will definitely have a bright future in the future.
How could Wuliang do such a treasonous thing?"
Li Er was in a good mood at the moment, so he naturally didn't care about Du He's inquiry, and said slowly: "Dali Temple has investigated it overnight. Ma Zhou didn't know about this matter. It was entirely his incompetent son Ma Bin's doing. Ma Zhou
Zhou Zhou is Ma Bin's uncle, and he single-handedly raised Ma Bin. Even if this matter has nothing to do with him, he will not be able to escape death due to the serious crime of treason and implicating the nine clans."
Du He had a question in his mind. Ma Bin was completely timid and afraid of getting into trouble. This matter must have been coerced by Cui San. Why didn't Ma Bin explain the matter clearly to Dali Temple? But now there is no time to study this matter in detail.
.
Du He stood up abruptly, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, in addition to bringing reading glasses to the palace this time, I have one more thing to do."
"What's the matter? Tell me!"
Du He said seriously: "Your Majesty, you promised me a request a few days ago, but you did not agree at that time. Now I ask your Majesty to fulfill your promise."
"Of course I remember, tell me, what do you want?"
"Your Majesty, Du He, please spare Ma Zhou's life!"
"What?"
Li Er was stunned for a moment, then suddenly came to his senses and punched the table hard.
Immediately, Li Er roared: "Hey Du He, have you eaten the courage of a bear's heart and a leopard's guts? I have already given an order. Anyone who dares to intercede for Ma Zhou will be guilty of the same crime as Ma Zhou. Look at your reading glasses."
For my sake, get out of here right now, I can pretend that you didn’t say anything just now.”
Li Er was so angry that his chest heaved up and down. He pointed in the direction of the door and told Du He to get out.
Du He's attitude was very firm: "Your Majesty, since you know that Ma Zhou has nothing to do with this matter, why do you still want to execute him? Besides, others don't know, but I, Du He, have found clues about this matter.
He was framed, and the person behind the scenes is a high-ranking and powerful person in the court."
Li Er's eyes widened and he pointed at Du He, "What did you say? You mean, someone among my ministers framed Ma Zhou?"
"That's right, Your Majesty. Originally, I didn't plan to tell Your Majesty about this matter now, but now that the situation is urgent, I have to say that this person is not targeting Ma Zhou, but coming to me. He wants Ma Zhou to collect evidence to impeach me.
This alienated my relationship with His Majesty, but Ma Zhou was stubborn and refused to agree. This vicious guy used Ma Bin to write a prophecy and wanted to blackmail Ma Zhou again, but who knew that the matter was suddenly revealed..." Du He said calmly.
Snapped.
Li Eryi slammed the table, stood up, and asked: "Du He, are you telling the truth?"
"Everything I said is true, and I guarantee it with the head on my neck."
"Who is this person?"
"This person hides very well and acts decisively. He has never shown his flaws and is extremely difficult to detect." Du He said with a headache.
Li Er said coldly: "Then how do you expect me to trust you?"
Du He patted his chest and promised: "Your Majesty, please give me one month to find this person. This person is hiding in the dark. On the surface, he is doing harm to me, but in fact, it will cause endless harm. He may endanger Your Majesty and the Tang Dynasty."
Sheji."
Li Er nodded, remained silent for a while, and said, "Okay, I'll give you a month. If you can't find out by then, I'll ask you."
