In order to alleviate Li Er's anger, Queen Changsun also made a cup of tea herself.
With the consolation of Queen Changsun.
After a long while, Li Er regained his composure.
He slowly raised his head, sighed, and said: "Mr. Guanyin, this time, Du He discovered potatoes and made great contributions. The ministers in the DPRK unanimously agreed that I should make Du He the Duke of the country. I also think so.
,I don’t know, what do you think?”
Empress Changsun said calmly: "Your Majesty, Du He has such merit and is a meritorious official of our Tang Dynasty. I think it is natural for me to make him the Duke of the country!"
Li Er's mouth showed a trace of bitterness: "But you don't know something. I promised Du He that if he could become the Duke of the country, I would marry Yuanshu and Li Zhi to him!"
Snap.
The teacup in Queen Changsun's hand fell to the floor.
"Your Majesty... why are you so hasty about this matter?" Queen Changsun was extremely surprised.
Li Er smiled bitterly and said: "A dandy from Chang'an became the Duke of the country in two years. Do you think this is possible?"
Du He, two years ago, was one of the four pests in Chang'an.
But in less than two years, he relied on various merits and gradually became the Duke of the country.
Many people dare not even think about it!
Even "The Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" wouldn't dare to write like this!
Queen Changsun asked: "Your Majesty, is there any room for change in this matter?"
Li Er shook his head helplessly: "You don't know that I wholeheartedly want to train Du He to become a capable minister of our Tang Dynasty, but that boy actually cares about my two daughters. It is really unreasonable!"
Queen Changsun said nothing.
There is nothing to say about letting Li Yuanshu marry Du He.
He can let his precious daughter Li Lizhi also marry Du He, and the two princesses will be married together.
This matter is indeed too sensational.
Queen Changsun was unwilling, but she did not say it out loud. Instead, she said: "Your Majesty, although this matter is related to the marriage of Li Zhi and Yuanshu, it is already a political matter. It is not convenient for me to intervene, so I would like to ask Your Majesty to make your decision."
Bar!"
In the royal family, there is actually no freedom in all actions and behaviors.
"Well, I decided to leave the palace tomorrow to ask my father what he meant!" Li Er said.
A night of silence.
Early the next morning.
Li Er left the palace incognito, went to Chang'an International Shopping Center, and met Li Yuan.
After not seeing each other for many days, Li Er found that Li Yuan's complexion was much better and he was full of energy, unlike before.
Li Yuan raised his head, saw Li Er, and asked three questions.
"Do you know astronomy?"
"Are you looking at the moon?"
"Do you yearn for the starry sky?"
These three questions directly confused Li Erqian.
Li Er said with shame: "Father, is this matter important?"
Li Yuan looked at Li Er with disdain and said: "Vulgar, ignorant of astronomy, unable to understand worldly affairs, unable to look at the moon, short-sighted, not yearning for the stars, not broad-minded... People of the world, it is important to be a king, but you cannot
Forgot to study!”
Li Er was so dizzy that he felt like he hadn't seen him for a while. He couldn't quite understand what the Emperor said, but it sounded profound and mysterious, which made people admire him.
"Father, my son has been studying astronomy, and yesterday he was discussing the stars with the officials of the Qintian Prison!" Li Er said quickly.
"Pooh!"
Hearing Qin Tianjian, Li Yuan became even more disdainful, "Those idiots, they know nothing about astronomy. Do they know the constellations? Do they know why the moon shines? Do they know why the stars twinkle? They know the Big Dipper.
The best viewing position? Do they know how meteors are produced? Do they know what the constellations are?...Bah!"
There was already a lot of cold sweat on Li Er's forehead.
He hurriedly said: "My father is teaching me a lesson. My father, today, I have something I want to ask you for advice..."
Li Er briefly explained the purpose of his visit.
Li Yuan raised his eyelids and said nonchalantly: "Are you reluctant to part with the Duke's reward, or are you reluctant to part with your two daughters?"
This is very direct.
Li Er was speechless and said: "My son, of course I don't want to marry my two daughters to Du He, especially Li Zhi. She has been like the apple of her eye since she was a child. If she marries Du He, wouldn't it..."
"hehe……"
Li Yuan sneered: "Bullshit, you can't bear to part with Li Zhi, are you really doing it for her happiness? Which princess of the royal family doesn't marry to win people's hearts? You, you were decisive when you were young, why are you so indecisive now?
What? The two princesses married Du He. This has not happened since ancient times. Why not now? Du He has not yet reached the crown, but he has already shown extraordinary talents. For such a person, Yuanshu and Li Zhi will marry him.
Not at a disadvantage, what's more, isn't it obvious enough that those two girls are now devoted to the Dream Group and don't want to return to the palace?"
Li Er fell into silence.
After a while, he raised his head and asked the last question: "Father, have you ever thought that one day Du He will be so powerful that he will not lose his tail?"
Li Yuan continued to sneer: "Do you think there will be such a day?"
Li Er nodded and said solemnly: "My son, I understand!"
After that, Li Er turned around and left.
…
The next day.
His Majesty Li Er issued the edict.
Du He discovered potatoes and planted potatoes. For his great contribution, he was granted the title of Duke of Hu State and was granted an estate of 3,000 households.
Although many people in the court had already known that this would be the result, when the edict actually came down, there was still a lot of criticism.
"That guy Du He is so arrogant and domineering. How virtuous and capable is he to become the Duke of the country?"
"It's unreasonable, it's really unreasonable. If you can become the Duke of the country by picking up a potato in the mountains of Qinling Mountains, then I can also pick up an edamame!"
"The world has changed! These bastards can become Dukes!"
"The Duke of Yimen and Erguo, go and find out where the Du family's ancestral graves are buried?"
Some people are jealous.
Some people are envious.
Someone is jealous.
Someone...
This is how things are settled.
…
Hu County, county government.
Early in the morning, Du He was called out of bed, took a shower and changed clothes, dressed neatly, and went to the lobby of the county government to receive the order.
When they heard that Du He was awarded the title of Duke of Hu, Ma Zhou and others all showed happy expressions.
In less than two years, he has risen from a position of no official title to Duke of Hu State. This event will definitely enter the annals of history!
Everyone is so proud!
After Zhao Yang finished reading, Du He raised his head and asked, "Manager Zhao, where are you down below?"
"The bottom is gone!" Zhao Yang said strangely.
Du He hurriedly stepped forward, took the imperial edict, and looked at it carefully. Apart from conferring a reward to the Duke, there was nothing else.
He asked in confusion: "Does your Majesty have any oral instructions?"
Zhao Yang shook his head: "Your Majesty didn't say anything."
Du He scratched his head.
Strange!
Your Majesty promised at the beginning that when I become the Duke of the Kingdom, you will marry the two princesses to me.
Why don't you get a marriage or something?
Could it be that those who cheat on the sun are defaulting on their debts?
