After a long while, Li Er waved his hand and ordered: "Zhao Yang, quickly arrange for five hundred taels of silver to be given to Du He. This money should be taken out of the inner treasury."
In other words, Li Er does not plan to touch the treasury money.
This is an unusual behavior. Usually, money will be paid from the internal treasury only when rewards are given to princes and princesses.
But after everyone thought about it, Du Ho would soon become the consort, so it seemed reasonable to do so.
Zhao Yang went to make arrangements immediately.
Du He waved his hand and said: "Your Majesty, everyone, I will leave first if nothing happens!"
He looked relaxed and casual, as if he was just going shopping.
Li Er didn't pay attention and actually nodded and said yes.
Seeing Du He turn around to leave, Prince Li Chengqian and others suddenly reacted and shouted hurriedly: "Du He, you can't leave!"
Li Chengqian immediately said: "Father, the reason for letting Du He go to the palace today is to find out the truth about Master Kong's public humiliation. Now that the matter is unknown, how can we let Du He leave at will?"
Li Er reacted immediately.
This Du He is really good at deceiving people.
Li Er then said: "Du He, this matter has caused an uproar in Chang'an City. Don't you want to give me an explanation?"
Du He said easily: "Your Majesty, this matter is a long story, so I will make it short."
"First of all, I did not humiliate Master Kong, I just gave everyone a simple science popularization."
"I have said before that if our Central Plains people sit upright for a long time, not only will their knees have problems, but their legs will become deformed. Children and lower-class people will not have this problem because they rarely sit on their knees.
The older the person is, the more serious the condition becomes. Master Kong is a leader in Confucianism. I heard that he would kneel and sit even when eating. It is really rare. Over time, his legs will naturally become deformed. That day, I just wanted to
To prove this, Master Kong was asked to show his legs in public. They were indeed a pair of elegant bow legs. Everyone present could see them clearly. How can this be called an insult?"
Du He turned around, pulled Cheng Yaojin over, and asked: "Uncle Cheng, you are here to comment. Can science popularization be called an insult?"
Cheng Yaojin shook his head and said with a smile: "No, it's not an insult. Master Kong is too stingy for his age. Old Cheng, I also have bow legs. If you don't believe me, look at it!"
In order to help Du He, Cheng Yaojin also risked his life and stood in front of everyone in person to show off his legs.
Although not as serious as Kong Yingda, his legs are also slightly deformed.
"Everyone, take a look. Lao Cheng, I also have bow legs. I have bow legs, elegant bow legs. Look carefully..."
Lao Cheng lifted up the hem of his robe and started walking grandly.
Many people turned their heads away in a hurry.
The picture is so beautiful that I can’t bear to look directly at it.
Li Er knocked on the table silently and said: "Okay Yi Zhen, don't follow this nonsense."
Cheng Yaojin chuckled and said, "Your Majesty, this is not nonsense. I think Master Kong is too stingy."
Lao Cheng wanted to help Du He out of trouble.
A few days ago, Qin Huaiyu came to tell Cheng Chumo about selling himself to buy sunglasses. At that time, Lao Cheng couldn't help scolding Du He for being unjust. But when Qin Huaiyu took out the deed of selling himself, Lao Cheng sighed: "It's still Du He.
The boy is so righteous, I didn't hurt him in vain!"
King Situ pointed at Cheng Yaojin and said angrily: "Gong Lu, you are a general, how can you compare with Master Kong?"
Cheng Yaojin became angry when he heard this: "Wang, what do you mean? Are you saying that I, old Cheng, are shameless? What happened to the generals? There is not a single part of this country in the Tang Dynasty that was created by our generals. Damn it."
, are you calling our generals shameless?"
Qin Qiong immediately said: "Master Wang, be careful, military generals also have the dignity of a military general."
"Master Wang, please be careful what you say!"
"We have made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty. Can't Mr. Wang see it?"
All the generals immediately stopped working and stood up to accuse the king.
When Wang saw this posture, he immediately retracted his head and did not dare to speak any more.
Prince Li Chengqian was immediately frightened.
Normally, the person Li Chengqian wanted to win over most was the military generals in the DPRK, but no one paid any attention to him.
Therefore, he would never dare to offend Cheng Yaojin, Qin Qiong and others.
For a while, there was a lot of noise and arguments in the Tai Chi Hall.
Fortunately, everyone was more civilized and restrained in their language, and nothing like getting physical happened.
As for Du He, standing in the middle of the crowd, he was yawning again and again, as if he was watching a good show.
Li Er felt his head was buzzing and he had a headache for a while.
Bang bang bang.
Li Er was so angry that he smashed the table and said, "Okay, shut up. There is no need to discuss this matter. Du He, since you are the one who started this matter, I will give you ten days to resolve it."
This matter needs to be properly resolved. If it cannot be resolved, I will not let you off lightly when the time comes."
Li Er's expression was stern, but everyone was a little dumbfounded.
What kind of punishment is this?
This is basically letting Du Ho go, right?
Du He hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer in ten days."
Li Er waved his hand, and Du He quickly ran away. The reward of five hundred taels of silver should have been prepared.
Li Chengqian and others saw Du He leaving easily, but they had no good idea in mind.
…
Confucius Mansion.
Kong Yingda's complexion has recovered a lot and he is basking in the sun in the yard.
The youngest son Kong Zhiliang stood aside and said: "Today, His Royal Highness, Mr. Wang, Mr. Chen Shuda and others have asked Your Majesty to take the decision in the morning. I think they have already figured it out. At most noon, the news should be spread in the palace.
Although Your Majesty has favored Du He several times, this matter concerns the face of Confucianism, so Your Majesty will not let Du He go easily."
Kong Yingda hummed and said: "This matter...if I hadn't been ill in bed, how could Your Majesty have taken action to deal with it? Although Du He was too much, he was just an uncrowned child. If this matter spread, I would lose my reputation."
Already?"
"Dad, you can rest assured and cultivate yourself. Your Majesty will decide everything." Kong Zhiliang said helplessly.
Kong Yingda sighed.
The dignified Confucian sect was so angry at a child that he vomited blood, but there was nothing he could do about it. In the end, His Majesty had to take action to deal with the matter personally. This itself makes people laughable.
However, if you don't do this, there is absolutely nothing you can do against Du He.
You can be reasonable, but you can't argue. Du He's sophistry skills are excellent, and when he debates, he is well-organized and well-organized. Even Kong Yingda is not his opponent.
Not to mention using force, just that one guard could beat dozens of scholars.
Moreover, Kong Yingda always advocated convincing people with reason, but reason didn't work this time.
The more Kong Yingda thought about it, the more depressed she became.
Just then, a seven or eight-year-old child ran over and called grandpa.
