"Your Majesty, Du He, see you!" Du He walked into the imperial study and greeted Li Er.
Li Er raised his head and was stunned.
I saw Du He with a gray face and a piece of cloth wrapped around his head. There were already dried blood clots on the cloth. His left hand was wrapped with a strip of cloth and hung on his chest. His right leg was tied to the knee with a branch. He was leaning on a walking stick under his right arm.
.
Li Er was startled and asked hurriedly: "Du He, what did you do? Sit down quickly!"
He personally stepped forward, brought a revolving wooden chair for Li Er, and helped Du He sit down.
Du He sat down with a grin on his face and said quickly: "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty... Your Majesty, it's a long story. A few days ago, Mrs. Dou got the news from someone who didn't know where, saying that His Majesty was going to send Mr. Changsun and Mr. Fang to Tongzhou to settle accounts after Qiu.
The dog jumped over the wall in a hurry, first besieging the minister's residence, Dou Aiguang did not know where he got the explosive pack, and the minister's residence was blown into ruins, and then Dou Aiwei sent troops to attack the south gate and east gate of Dali County... I am a civil and military star descending to earth.
, but I couldn’t withstand Dou’s attacks again and again, and I got a little injured in the end. They were all minor injuries, and they don’t bother you, Your Majesty!”
"At the South Gate, I fought side by side with my brothers, and I didn't retreat even after being hit by three arrows!"
"At the east gate, with only eight guards, I faced more than a hundred dead soldiers of the Dou family and fought to the death. The eight guards left to protect me, but they all died!"
"...Dou Aiwei wanted to escape, but I saw something was wrong, so I went in single-handedly. I was stabbed three times, and finally beheaded Dou Aiwei off his horse..."
What Du He said made him burst into tears.
It was really sad for those who heard it and shed tears for those who heard it.
When Li Er, a rough guy, heard this, his eyes couldn't help but turn red.
"Well done... Du He, you really didn't disappoint me. I didn't misjudge the person. Ke Ming gave birth to a good son! I must reward you well!" Li Er patted Du He's shoulder gently and choked with sobs.
said.
He could imagine how tragic the scene was at that time.
The Dou family has been in Tongzhou for many years. They have a large family and a prosperous population. They even have Mingguang armor and hundreds of dead soldiers. But Du He only has a dozen guards around him, but he is able to hold the Dou family back.
, blocking the city of Dali County, what kind of courage it takes, what kind of fearlessness it takes to do it!
Du He took out an account book from behind and handed it to Li Ershou: "Your Majesty, I am not afraid of death. I am just afraid that I will not be able to return to Chang'an and bring back your Majesty's property. Your Majesty, I am fortunate to have fulfilled my destiny. Dou can take away everything
, I have brought them all back, and they are all here, which is equivalent to the Kaiyuan Tongbao, 2.8 million guan. Before going to Tongzhou, your Majesty promised me to divide it into four or six. Now, I have figured it out. Is it the king's land in the world?
, I am the king's minister who lives on the shore of the land, eating the king's salary and sharing the king's worries... It is my honor to serve your majesty, so I will not take any of the 2.8 million yuan!"
Li Er was stunned for a moment.
In fact, the reason why he secretly summoned Du He today was for the purpose of dividing the stolen goods.
Li Er is a greedy person.
So he wanted to talk to Du He again and change the original agreement to 37, or 28, or even 19.
But Du He's words shocked Li Er.
Li Er thought to himself, Du He is such a reasonable person. If I open my mouth to bargain, wouldn't it chill his heart?
Thinking of this, Li Eryi gritted his teeth and said: "Du He, Jun Wuxiao, how can we change the original agreement casually... Not only will I keep my promise, but I will reverse it and divide it into 40% and 60%, but it is only 40% for me.
Sixty percent, what do you think?"
Li Er wanted to use this method to give Du He a hope first.
He waited for Du He to be grateful, and then asked Du He to take the initiative to refuse. In the end, he still divided the money at 40-60, with Du He taking 40% and he taking 60%.
Du He raised his head and said: "Okay, your Majesty is kind-hearted. If I refuse, it means that I don't know how to be a good person. I will divide it into 40% and 60%, 40% for your Majesty and 60% for the minister. Your Majesty is truly the emperor of the ages, and his greatness is boundless."
Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"ah……"
Li Er opened his mouth and widened his eyes.
stunned.
This guy is too unreasonable!
Du He added: "Your Majesty is the king of a country. He has a golden mouth and jade teeth. He has no jokes. If I refuse, wouldn't I be disrespecting your Majesty? I am really stupid. Please punish me!"
Punishment?
Punishment... what a piece of shit!
Li Er wants to curse!
But looking back at Du He's miserable look, Li Er still held back.
He said slowly: "Okay, let's divide it into 40% and 60%, 40% for me and 60% for you... In addition, I have a surprise for you. You can go back and rest for a few days. When the auxiliary machine and Xuan Ling come back, we can discuss the merits again."
Reward!"
Du He nodded and turned to leave.
When he came outside, Ximen Qing said in surprise: "Master Hou, you were fine in Dream Group just now. Why did you not see me for half an hour and become like this? Didn't something happen on the way into Chang'an City?"
Du He said with a painful expression: "This young master has been like this since he came back from Tongzhou. How can I explain it properly?"
"But……"
"You're dazzled!"
Ximen Qing scratched his head and said, "Okay, I think it's because the slave is dazzled. The Marquis needs to take care of himself!"
Du He nodded and left.
Li Er immediately dismissed the letter and sent someone to Tongzhou as quickly as possible.
A few days later, news came from Tongzhou that the Dou family had conspired to rebel. The evidence was conclusive. Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling personally executed the entire Dou family.
Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling also returned to Chang'an.
The morning of this day began.
All civil and military officials entered the Tai Chi Hall one after another.
"Hey, Lord Changsun seems to be in a bad mood!"
"Yes, he went to Tongzhou and found out that the Dou family was rebelling. This is a great achievement, but why does he look so depressed?"
"Master Fang looks similar!"
People were talking quietly.
Someone came up to say hello, but Changsun Wuji also responded perfunctorily.
Changsun Wuji is now a mute eating Coptis chinensis, unable to express his pain.
In any case of rebellion, in addition to detecting the rebellion, the most important thing is to confiscate the family and behead the person to increase income for the court.
But this time the Dou family rebelled, Changsun Wuji didn't copy anything. This has been a strange thing since ancient times.
He now hopes that Li Er will give him some credit!
Fang Xuanling said: "Lord Changsun, there is no need to be angry. This matter is indeed too strange. It is not our fault. I think your majesty will understand it!"
Changsun Wuji said helplessly: "I hope so! Alas..."
"Duhe is here!"
Just then, someone shouted.
Everyone turned around and saw Du He, with a gray face and bruises all over his body, limping into the Tai Chi Hall on crutches.
Du He, who used to be so majestic in the past, turned out to be like this?
Everyone was shocked.
Qin Qiong asked curiously: "Xiannephew, what's wrong with you?"
Du He said sadly: "Uncle Qin, don't mention it. The Tongzhou rebellion actually happened before Mr. Changsun and Mr. Fang arrived in Tongzhou. The Dou family gathered hundreds of dead men to break out of Dali County. I was the one who led it.
With just a few guards, we fought back Dou's men time and time again, and held on until Lord Changsun arrived at Dali County... He almost died!"
