Four hundred and seventieth chapters show the enemy to be weak
The common people thought Du He was powerful, but in the court, he aroused strong opposition.
The censors were warming themselves by the fire at home, but they have been very busy these days.
Memorials to impeach Du He once again appeared in droves.
Quan Wanji, the teacher of King Li Ke of Shu, knelt in the cold wind for a whole day outside the Tai Chi Hall, just for two things. One was to apologize. King Li Ke of Shu had made a mistake. As a teacher, he had the responsibility. The other was to impeach Du He.
He has no skills but has brought disaster to the King of Shu. Please ask your Majesty Li Er to punish Du He and tell the world that Du He cannot become the teacher of the King of Shu.
Originally Li Er turned a deaf ear.
In his opinion, Li Ke's apprenticeship with Du He was just a temporary hot-headed move and a child's play.
Who knew the courtiers would react so violently.
As a last resort, Li Er summoned the ministers to discuss the matter at the morning meeting the next day.
The ministers of civil and military affairs were basically divided into two groups. One supported Li Ke's apprenticeship. The reason was that although Du He had some abominable qualities, his inventions and money-making skills were unparalleled in the world. As a prince, Li Ke could benefit the people by learning Du He's skills.
, benefiting the country.
The second is those who strongly oppose Li Ke's apprenticeship. They believe that Du He does not follow the rules, does not respect the law, has no knowledge and skills, and has bad conduct, which will only ruin the king of Shu.
Everyone was noisy and noisy.
Quan Wanji knelt on the ground and said hoarsely: "Your Majesty, I am guilty. I did not teach His Highness the King of Shu well, otherwise this kind of thing would not have happened. I ask your Majesty to punish you, but before punishing you, please think twice. Hurry up."
The decree was issued to disqualify Du He from becoming His Highness's teacher. Looking at the court, there are very few people who can serve as His Highness's teacher, let alone Du He... Although Du He is the Marquis of Huyi County, he is a full-fledged businessman.
Since the Qin Dynasty, all the emperors in the past have emphasized agriculture and suppressed business, and businessmen have pursued profits, endangering the country and the country! How qualified is Du He to be the teacher of His Highness the King of Shu? Your Majesty, please think twice!"
Li Er pondered: "Quan Aiqing, according to your words, Du He is useless. If Ke'er follows him, he will learn nothing?"
Li Er can crawl out from the mountain of corpses, kill his elder brother and younger brother, and become a generation of emperors. How can he be a fool?
He usually lets Du He do whatever he wants, and sometimes even cooperates with it, but in fact, it's all just pretending to a large extent.
In Li Er's eyes, no matter how much trouble Du He made, he was just a little lamb, without any threat. Otherwise, with his suspicious character, he would have slapped him in the face.
This time Li Ke apprenticed to Du He, Li Er also considered it carefully. The reason why he didn't ask anything was that he still felt that the matter was just a child's play. He knew best what his son was like. Li Ke was indeed
He is smart, but also playful, and his apprenticeship is probably just a last-minute idea.
Of course, the most important point is that Li Er could feel that Du He was aloof from the royal family, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.
If Li Chengqian or Li Tai became apprentices, Li Er would still be suspicious.
But Li Ke was different. This kid had no interest in power since he was a child. His greatest pleasure was being an idle prince. For Li Er, there was no threat at all.
Due to various reasons, Li Ercai did not ask anything about this matter, but Quan Wanji and others did not figure it out and jumped out to speak out first.
However, old foxes like Changsun Wuji and Chen Shuda remained silent and showed no concern for this matter. In fact, they had already guessed what Li Er was thinking.
"That's right, Your Majesty. His Royal Highness, King of Shu, followed Du He and learned nothing but bad lessons. I promise, he will learn nothing. Your Majesty, the ancients have a saying, if you are dyed with yellow, you will be yellow, if you are dyed with blue, you will be green. If you are close to vermillion, you will be red. If you are close to vermillion, you will be red.
The ink is black..." Quan Wanji heard this and replied with great certainty.
When Quan Wanji was young, he was also a well-known talented man with outstanding literary talents. Now, he actually said a lot of eloquent remarks, such as those who are close to red are red and those who are close to ink are black.
Many people present expressed their admiration for him.
After hearing this, Li Er couldn't even refute.
But in his heart, he felt that Quan Wanji was making too much fuss. If he really issued an order to cancel Li Ke's apprenticeship with Du He, how would the world view it?
Li Er said: "Okay, I can't make a decision on this matter at the moment. Let's discuss it tomorrow."
"Your Majesty..." Quan Wanji shouted hurriedly.
But Li Er had already turned around and left.
Zhao Yang announced his withdrawal from the court in a high-pitched voice.
Everyone left Tai Chi Hall one after another.
…
Changsun Wuji and Gao Shilian were walking outside.
But Quan Wanji suddenly ran up and pulled the two of them aside.
Quan Wanji said anxiously: "Master Changsun, you are the Sikong of the current dynasty and the pillar of the country. Now that Du He has done something that endangers the country and damages the dignity of the royal family, how can you say nothing? Although Quan is from Shu.
His Royal Highness's teacher is a soft-spoken person, so your Majesty may not listen to me, so please ask Master Changsun and Master Gao for help!"
He knew that in this dynasty, Du He's biggest mortal enemy was Changsun Wuji.
So I want to bring Chang Sun Wuji along with me.
Unexpectedly, Changsun Wuji shook his head repeatedly and said hurriedly: "Quan Changshi, if you ask me to help with other things, everything will be easy, but if you want to deal with Du He, it's embarrassing, then Du He is a dynamite bag.
, my grandson’s family can’t afford to offend him, so we can only avoid him. There is nothing we can do about this matter!”
Gao Shilian also nodded: "Yes! That's what I mean too."
With that said, the two left.
Quan Wanji was a little confused.
The dignified Sikong Chang Sun Wuji and the Minister of Civil Service Gao Shilian were actually afraid of Du He?
He looked at the close relationship between Changsun Wuji and Gao Shilian, and suddenly said doubtfully: "Hey, that's not right, aren't there rumors that Master Changsun and Master Gao had fallen out because of their investment in Xingfu Community? There were even rumors that Master Gao had fallen out.
Don’t you recognize Master Changsun as your nephew anymore? Why doesn’t he look like him..."
…
At the same moment, Changsun Wuji and Gao Shilian had already walked out of Tai Chi Palace.
Gao Shilian said: "Wuji, now it seems that your plan has deceived many people. Showing weakness to the enemy is what our ancestors said was right."
Changsun Wuji stroked his beard and said: "Uncle, Du He has a big tail now and is favored by His Majesty. No matter what you or I do, it will be superfluous. It is the best policy to show weakness to the enemy. It is ridiculous to have such power.
, a nerd, he thought he could defeat Du He, what a fool!"
"Prime Minister Du, are you leaving now?" Gao Shilian looked around and saw no one around, so he asked abruptly.
Changsun Wuji nodded: "Du Ruhui seems to be old and strong, but in fact he is just an empty shell. According to the reliable information I have received, His Majesty has intended for him to retire."
Gao Shilian's mouth showed a sneer: "Let Du He be arrogant for a while longer!"
After saying that, the two looked at each other and walked out one after the other.
