Dark clouds are gathering over the city, and a mountain rain is about to come.
In a remote courtyard in the west of the city.
Zhao Yang stood under the eaves and asked, "How are things going?"
A young eunuch below said excitedly: "Don't worry, godfather, everything has been settled. This time, a total of thirty-six ministers from the DPRK and China are willing to work with us. In addition, many officials in the capital have prepared memorials.
When thirty-six ministers take the lead in attacking tomorrow morning, all these officials will gather outside the imperial city and kneel down to ask Your Majesty to punish Du He."
Zhao Yang looked at the gloomy sky and nodded: "This time, we have spent a lot of money. The money given away is at least one million yuan. Our family has endured it for more than half a month in order to accumulate enough strength.
, gave Du He a fatal blow, huh, Du He is favored by His Majesty again, but he shouldn't, shouldn't, shouldn't have taken away our treasure. If anyone touches my treasure, I will fight him to the death!
"
"Daddy, even if Du He survives this time, he will still lose his skin. With so many ministers taking action, if Your Majesty still favors Du He, it will only chill the hearts of the courtiers!" said the young eunuch.
"Of course, this is the day our family has been waiting for!"
…
late at night.
Imperial Palace, Imperial Study Room.
Li Er took off his reading glasses and looked up at Hou Junji.
Except for these two people, there was no one else in the imperial study room.
He holds a list in his hand.
As the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Er truly did not go out and knew everything about the world. With the eyes and ears of the secret guards, he knew everything that happened inside and outside the palace.
Li Er asked: "Haozhi, what do you think?"
Hou Junji smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, this time, Du He has indeed angered these eunuchs in the palace... If the ministers in the court are offended by Du He, they have to pay attention to face and pomp when they fight back, but these eunuchs,
Use every possible means."
Li Er rubbed his temples and said: "Some eunuchs can't achieve big things. What I'm worried about is the people's hearts. So many people are against Du He. If I turn a deaf ear and ignore it, wouldn't I lose the hearts of the ministers?
It will chill people’s hearts!”
"Your Majesty means..."
"This matter is really difficult to deal with. If it doesn't work, let Du He come back temporarily to appease the hearts of these ministers. However, the eunuch colluded with the ministers. How bold it is. I will settle the score later." Li Er's face darkened.
, don’t be angry and be proud.
Hou Junji quickly said: "Your Majesty is wise!"
…
Early the next morning.
Li Er came to the Tai Chi Hall with a feeling of anxiety.
What made him curious was that Zhao Yang did not serve him with him, but was replaced by a young eunuch who had just entered the palace.
Li Er asked displeasedly: "Where is Zhao Yang?"
"Your Majesty, Manager Zhao is ill today and is still recuperating!"
"Where is Ximen Qing?" Li Er asked again.
The young eunuch replied: "Your Majesty, Deputy General Manager Ximen fell off his horse a few days ago and is still recovering."
"snort!"
Li Er snorted, walked to the dragon chair and sat down.
"My dear friends, do you have anything to report today?" Li Er glanced at the crowd and asked.
Quiet.
The entire court hall was eerily silent.
Li Er was a little confused.
According to the intelligence, shouldn't thirty-six ministers jump out to impeach Du He at this time?
Why is it so silent?
He looked at it and then asked: "My dear friends, don't you have anything to report?"
No one answered.
Li Er asked: "Don't you have anything to say about Hu County and Du He?"
Still no one spoke.
Li Er was dumbfounded.
Is the information wrong?
These little secret guards can even detect wrong information?
But I saw that all the ministers looked strange, lowered their heads, and did not dare to speak.
Rub rub rub.
At this moment, a figure ran in crawling on the ground, threw his limbs on the ground, and cried out: "Your Majesty, help, help..."
Everyone turned around and saw that this person was Zhao Yang, the chamberlain.
Li Erhe asked: "Zhao Yang, what do you mean?"
"Your Majesty, help... Duhe, the Duke of Huyi County, built a museum in Huxian County and opened it this morning. Now the whole of Chang'an knows about it," Zhao Yang cried.
"Museum? What is this? Why does it make you cry so hard?" Li Er asked three questions in a row.
Zhao Yang: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I have served you for twenty years. I have worked hard without any merit. Du He bullied others too much. He bullied others too much. Hiccup..."
Before he finished speaking, Zhao Yang suddenly twitched and fainted.
Li Er hurriedly waved his hand and asked someone to take him away.
He asked: "My dear friends, I just feel that the atmosphere in today's morning court was a bit strange. Who can tell me what happened?"
Then, Chen Shuda, the Minister of Rites, stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I know a little bit about this matter."
"Chen Qing's family, you should tell me!"
Chen Shuda said slowly: "Your Majesty, Du He has built a huge museum in Hu County and it will be opened this morning."
"What does this have to do with morning court?" Li Er picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip.
Chen Shuda continued: "Your Majesty does not know something. This museum is called the Tree Roots Museum. I heard Du He say before that the so-called museum is a place where various items are displayed for people to visit... Now, this Tree Roots Museum
, but it is not a collection of antique paintings, but an exhibition of the things of the eunuchs in the palace that Du He snatched from Shangguan Wuyou's house in Chang'an City half a month ago. As far as I know, eunuchs such as Zhao Yang, after entering the palace, those who were
The cut things were entrusted to Shangguan Wuyou for safekeeping until he died, and were buried with the real thing. This has been a custom since ancient times... But now that the Tree Root Museum has opened, Du He is the one who brought Zhao Yang and others'
All the things are placed in the Root Museum for everyone to watch. I heard that everyone can go in and visit for just one penny. The price is really cheap..."
"puff!"
Li Er, who was drinking tea, suddenly spit out all the tea when he heard this.
Li Er was so shocked that he didn't know what to say for a long time.
He finally understood why the ministers who had negotiated before did not attack this morning.
First, Zhao Yang and others have collapsed and their plans are in chaos.
Secondly, these ministers were all frightened by Du He's methods.
Just imagine, this guy Du He even dares to put the eunuchs' things on display for people to see. There is nothing he can't do.
Du He's move is tantamount to draining the firepower.
Li Er had no choice but to look around and asked: "Dear ladies, what do you think about this matter?"
Du Ruhui stood in front, as if he was asleep, not caring.
Hou Junji said: "Your Majesty, this matter has never happened since ancient times."
"Alas, Du He is a bit arrogant. It's a bit inappropriate to act like this. Someone, please give an order to reprimand Du He." Li Er said.
Du Ruhui, who had been dozing all the time, suddenly became energetic: "Your Majesty, wait a minute, I have something to say. The director of this tree root museum is His Royal Highness the King of Shu."
"puff……"
Li Er, who had just calmed down and wanted to take a sip of tea to calm down, took another sip of tea and sprayed it all out.
