Zhou Chun, Yin of Jingzhao Prefecture, leaned on the revolving wooden chair and drank tea leisurely.
Xu Guoan, the chief historian, said anxiously: "Master Zhou, I heard that four to five thousand people have surrounded Duke Lai's mansion. If we continue to ignore it, I'm afraid there will be a big mess. By then, if Duke Lai comes to your majesty,
We have a copy in front of you, but you won’t be able to eat it while walking around!”
Zhou Chun said with a smile: "What are you afraid of? Lord Changsun is taking care of this matter for us. Besides, it's not that the Jingzhao Mansion is indifferent. I have sent several government officials to stop it. However, the people's anger is too great and we can't do anything."
Calm down, let me tell you, Du He really deserves it, hum, it’s inappropriate to let the good Duke Hu go, but he insists on marrying two princesses, now that’s fine, what about the consort? Hum, the consort sounds nice to say, but he has no real power.
, Without a title, what’s the use? When Prime Minister Du retires, the Duke of Lai will be finished. Du He has offended too many people, I’m afraid he will never have a good life from now on!"
Hearing this, Xu Guoan laughed: "My lord, you are really tall. Du He was so powerful at first, but now he is just a consort, and he will not be allowed to serve as an official in the court, nor will he be able to obtain a title. There must be many people looking for him."
He is settling accounts. With so many people coming to challenge him this time, it seems likely that no one is fanning the flames behind his back!"
"Let those people make trouble! Let Du He have a headache. If someone comes from Laiguo's palace again, tell them that I have been ill recently and will not see you at all!" Zhou Chun said proudly.
Zhou Chun actually had no direct conflict with Du He.
However, he is Changsun Wuji's son.
Seeing that the marriage between Changsun Chong and Princess Changle was abruptly broken up by Du He, and now Princess Changle actually married Du He, Zhou Chun naturally didn't want to make it easy for Du He.
Seeing Du He in crisis, Zhou Chun was still very happy.
At this moment, an official hurried in and said in a panic: "Mr. Zhou, things have changed!"
"What? A fight started?" Zhou Chun asked in surprise, but he felt happy in his heart.
The official shook his head: "No fight, Du He asked people to set up two arenas, let those who came to challenge first decide the winner by themselves, and finally compete with these people, but... To participate in the competition, you need to pay.
Everyone has money."
"Everyone has money? Du He is crazy!" Xu Guoan shouted in disbelief.
The official smiled and said: "Yes, I thought so at the beginning, but guess what, many people actually signed up. I saw it with my own eyes. In just a short time, Kaiyuan Tongbao was piled up in front of the Laiguo Duke's mansion.
It’s like a mountain, those people signed up like crazy!”
Kaiyuan Tongbao piles up like a mountain?
Everyone present was dumbfounded.
Zhou Chun said with some embarrassment: "Du He really fell in love with money. He even uses it to make money!"
Xu Guoan said: "But, sir, we really have to admire Du He's brain for being able to think of such a method!"
"……yes……"
Zhou Chun's tone was sour.
…
Royal Palace.
Royal study room.
All the big shots in the DPRK and China were talking about Du He using the challenger to make money.
Changsun Wuji glanced at Du Ruhui and said, "Prime Minister Du, why don't you care about Du He's behavior? That's at the gate of Laiguo Duke's mansion!"
Du Ruhui glanced at Changsun Wuji and said, "Master Changsun, before this happened, my family sent someone to Jingzhao Mansion to deliver a message, but Jingzhao Mansion didn't even ask. I still want to ask you.
Isn't Yin Zhouchun of Jingzhao Prefecture your disciple?"
"Prime Minister Du, please don't talk nonsense. Although Zhou Chun is my disciple, this matter has nothing to do with me!" Changsun Wuji quickly put aside his relationship with Zhou Chun.
"alright!"
At this time, Li Er suddenly spoke.
Li Er said slowly: "Originally, I was worried that this matter would become a big deal and not end well. Du He could come up with such a way to resolve the conflict, but I didn't expect that this matter would be like this. Jingzhao Mansion Zhou
If Chun doesn't do anything, this account will be settled later. Now, there is an urgent matter. Du He has married the two princesses and is no longer the county magistrate of Hu County. However, Hu County cannot live without a county magistrate for a day. Ordinarily,
The county magistrate of Hu County only needs to be selected by the officials themselves, but now Hu County is no longer what it used to be. There are Anhu Avenue, farms, pig farms, and a pig tycoon pig feed processing factory.
, most people have gone, I'm afraid they won't be able to stay in power, I intend to select a virtuous person to be the magistrate of Hu County, regardless of rank, dear friends, do you have a suitable candidate?"
The people who were noisy just now suddenly became quiet.
Everyone began to make calculations in their minds.
In the past, no one looked down on a small county magistrate of Hu County. But it is different now. The pig farm in Hu County alone can be described as making a lot of money every day. Many people have long wanted to get involved.
However, before the magistrate of Hu County was Du He, outsiders could not interfere at all. But it is different now. If one can put one's own people in Hu County, wouldn't it be of great benefit in the future?
"Your Majesty," Changsun Wuji was the first to say, "I have an excellent candidate. This person is the magistrate of Xianyang County. He has served as the magistrate of Xianyang County for three years. The people of Xianyang live and work in peace and contentment. Everyone praises him and he is upright.
, it would be safest for him to be the magistrate of Hu County!"
Gao Shilian couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, I have a disciple who is very talented. I recommend him to be the magistrate of Hu County based on my personality."
Chen Shuda said: "Your Majesty, I have something to say!"
Even Hou Junji couldn't help but stand up: "Your Majesty, in fact, I also have a suitable candidate, who is more suitable than them all!"
The civil and military ministers were very enthusiastic and expressed their opinions one after another.
Only Du Ruhui stood aside with his hands folded, looking extremely calm.
Li Er glanced around and suddenly asked: "Du Qing's family, do you have a suitable candidate?"
Du Ruhui hurriedly said seriously: "Your Majesty, if it is out of selfish motives, I have many candidates. If it is out of public motives, I dare not say anything."
"Oh?" Li Er looked curious, "Why is this?"
"Your Majesty, all the achievements of Hu County today are due to Du He's whims. If you rashly send someone to be the magistrate of Hu County, I'm afraid it won't take long to destroy Hu County! So!
, I think it is most appropriate for Quanzi to recommend the candidate for the county magistrate of Hu County!" Du Ruhui said calmly.
"No!" Changsun Wuji was the first to object, "Prime Minister Du, this matter is not a trivial matter. Du He is still the consort and must not participate in political affairs anymore, let alone recommend him to be elected as the magistrate of Hu County!"
"Lord Changsun's words make sense!"
"Your Majesty, I second the proposal!"
"I also second the proposal!"
For a time, everyone actually objected.
Li Er had a headache.
I remember when Hu County was in big trouble, no one wanted to go there, and then they all recommended Du He.
Now, Hu County has just started to improve, but everyone has begun to compete for it again.
