The people around him hurriedly held back Zhang Yushi.
Zhang Yushi was so angry that his orifices were filled with smoke. If looks could kill, Du He would have died a thousand times.
Du He sneered and said: "Mr. Zhang, it turns out that you sometimes get angry. According to your theory, officials in the same state are corrupt and harming one party. I can't be angry. I should take it slow. But now, even if I scold you, it is a heinous crime.
, but you can’t be impatient in Tai Chi Hall, the impact is too bad, you should take it easy and be patient..."
"you……"
Zhang Yushi was unable to refute.
Others were also shocked.
Du He's statement is really impeccable.
Du He never loses in a quarrel.
Snapped.
Li Eryi slapped the table in front of him and said, "Okay, shut up!"
The noisy Tai Chi Hall suddenly became extremely quiet.
Li Er looked around and asked: "Okay, Du He should be the first to take the lead in the Tongzhou case. Do you have any opinions?"
"No!"
"Your Majesty is wise!"·
"Your Majesty is wise!"
"I have no objection!"
With Zhang Yushi’s experience, who dares to object?
If Du He were to dig out his eighteenth generation ancestor again, wouldn't he become a joke to the world?
Li Er nodded with satisfaction: "In that case, Du He has contributed a lot to the Dou family's rebellion in Tongzhou. I have decided to ennoble Du He as the Duke of Huyi County, with a residence of 1,000 households, and a third rank!"
Quiet!
No one in the audience spoke.
Everyone was shocked and speechless.
Huyi County Duke?
It only took Du He half a year for the county magistrate to become the county magistrate.
It only took more than a year for him to go from being an idle young master to becoming the Duke of Huyi County.
Du He is going to shock the world!
According to the current laws and regulations, there are nine levels of titles in the Tang Dynasty. The founding county marquis should have 1,500 households in the city. From the second level, everyone can see that His Majesty deliberately suppressed Du He's Huyi County.
The Duke was transformed into a food town with a thousand households, and he was of the third grade.
Zhang Yushi and others rolled up their sleeves and were about to speak when Wei Zheng glared at them.
Immediately, everyone in Yushitai stopped talking.
Everyone was surprised to find that Wei Zheng, who was so arrogant, actually lost his temper when facing Du He.
Someone should jump out and object here!
However, half a day passed and no one spoke.
Du He was so excited that he stood up from his chair, ran to the front, saluted, and said loudly: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. I will fight for Your Majesty even if I die!"
Li Er chuckled and said: "Du He, I have something to say. I intend to let you join the court as an official and do things for the people. Are you willing?"
Du He had a black line on his face: "Your Majesty, let's talk about going up the mountain of swords and going down into the sea of fire!"
Everyone: "..."
When everyone came to their senses, only a few people congratulated Du He.
This guy's popularity in the court is really bad!
…
Dream Group.
"What, the young master has become the Duke of Huyi County?"
"Hahaha... What great news, the young master's promotion speed is faster than the arrows of the righteous path!"
"The young master is the best in the world, and the Sikong Mansion is not worth mentioning!"
Upon hearing the news that Du He was back, the entire Dream Group came to celebrate.
Du He ordered everyone to have a day off and have meat for dinner.
In the afternoon, Qin Qiong, Wei Zheng, Dai Zhou and others came to express their congratulations.
Du He welcomed everyone to the bank of the Bahe River and held a grand bonfire party.
…
Just as everyone in the Dream Group was jubilant, news came that Japan sent envoys to Chang'an to pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty. The tribute was Japan's most precious treasure - a luminous pearl the size of a human head. And the origin of the envoy who paid tribute this time was
No small matter, he is the youngest son of the current emperor of Japan, Emperor Soga Ezo, Prince Soga Yako, which is enough to show Japan's determination to deepen relations with the Tang Dynasty.
When the news reached Chang'an, the whole Chang'an was excited.
The power of the Tang Dynasty was growing day by day, and all the small neighboring countries bowed to it. However, Japan had been secretly opposed to the Tang Dynasty in recent years.
Now, Emperor Kogi sends his son to pay tribute, which is a clear sign of submission.
The civil and military ministers in the DPRK were even more delighted and wrote memorials one after another praising Li Er as the only emperor through the ages.
April 20th.
Su Wo Yazi brought a large envoy of hundreds of people to Chang'an, and the Ministry of Rites arranged for them to stay in the post house.
Li Er announced that he would meet Su Wo Yazi and others early the next morning.
Later, someone from the palace invited Du He to attend this person's tribute ceremony.
The visitor is none other than Ximen Qing.
"Chief Ximen, I don't have any official position. I heard that the people your Majesty arranged this time are all important officials in the court. Why is this young master on the list?" Du He asked curiously.
Ximen Qing was speechless and said: "County Duke, although you don't have any official position, don't forget that you are now Huyi County Duke. You are a third-rank official. There are only a handful of people in the court... This is not
But your Majesty’s intention is still that of the Ministry of Rites. Tomorrow the envoys from Japan will present treasures to me, the Tang Dynasty. Such a grand event is rare in a hundred years, and ordinary people have no chance to participate even if they want to..."
Du He slapped his head: "Well, I forgot about this. I thought I was a little county prince!"
"My lord, you are really good at joking... My lord, this is a matter planned by the Ministry of Etiquette. Please prepare yourself and attend the grand event tomorrow morning!" Ximen Qing took a piece of paper and handed it to Du He personally.
Du He took a look and saw that everything was explained in detail, including the clothes to wear, what time to wait at the gate of the imperial city, etc. Du He felt dizzy when he saw it.
Du He suddenly rubbed his head and said: "Manager Ximen, could you please go back and tell Mr. Chen that I have a severe headache and will not attend tomorrow's grand party. Aren't I just a little duck? Prince, smile.
Dead people...it's boring, don't go!"
Ximen Qing was stunned for a moment.
No one else could ask for this kind of opportunity, but Du He refused it with just one sentence.
Ximen Qing had no choice but to leave depressedly.
Li Yuanshu asked curiously: "Aren't you curious about that huge luminous pearl? I heard people say that this luminous pearl is the national treasure of Japan. Even the Tang Dynasty couldn't find such a luminous pearl. Don't you want to take a look?"
Du He didn't care. He dusted off his clothes and said: "What good things can those Japanese people get? They are just picked up from the sea. I am well-informed. I have never seen any rare things and I am not interested!"
"
In Du He's world, he had seen many Ye Mingzhu with big heads, even those with big houses.
Can it be bigger than the Oriental Pearl Tower?
Let Du He prepare carefully and carry out all the red tape just to welcome a country prince from Japan. He doesn't have this habit.
…
Ministry of Rites.
"What? Du He refused?" Chen Shuda, the Minister of Rites, was surprised.
The official who came to report the news said with a depressed look on his face: "Yes, Mr. Chen, this Du He really doesn't understand etiquette. The Ministry of Rites invited him to such a grand event to give him face, but he doesn't seem to appreciate it. It's really unreasonable!"
