It could be heard that Li Er was still complaining a bit.
After all, if a talent like Du He could enter the court and serve as an official, it would be a great help to the Tang Dynasty.
But this guy wouldn't join the officialdom even if he died.
Thinking of this, Li Er thought about whether it was time to renegotiate the marriage between Du He and Li Yuanshu, but when he thought about the relationship between this boy and Li Lizhi, he instantly felt a headache.
"What nonsense, Shimin lights up the cannons and gives you money!" Li Yuan burst out laughing, interrupting Li Er's thoughts.
After Li Er gave the money, Li Yuan said dissatisfiedly: "Shimin, don't be so utilitarian in your work. What's wrong with this entertainment gadget? Making people happy is more important than anything else."
"Yes, yes, that's what father taught me."
In front of Li Yuan, Li Er can't help but be cowardly.
Once you sit down at the mahjong table, time flies by.
By the time Li Er realized what he was doing, it was already evening.
Du He said: "Since His Majesty and the Supreme Emperor are showing favor today, let's stay in the furniture factory and have a beef hotpot."
As soon as Li Er heard about beef, he stared at Du He: "You Du He, you are going to eat beef. Have you forgotten the law I issued?"
Du He shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, don't rely on me for this. Duke Lu sent this to you yesterday. If you don't like to eat it, just pretend I didn't say anything. We will eat mutton the same way."
When Li Er heard this, he knew that it was not surprising at all that Cheng Yaojin had done such a thing.
In fact, he also wants to eat beef.
Mutton has a strong smell and is easy to get angry.
Just listen to Li Er say: "In this case, this fresh beef will not last for a few days, so I will try to make it taste less delicious."
Du He rolled his eyes.
This guy is so hypocritical.
Immediately, Du He ordered the cook to start preparing the hot pot.
By the way, they invited Qin Qiong, Changsun Wuji and others who were staying at the furniture factory to come in. If Li Er didn't leave, everyone didn't dare to leave. Therefore, everyone was hungry, but they didn't dare to speak.
It was the first time for Li Yuan to eat hot pot. As soon as he started eating, he was full of praises.
"Boy Du, your hot pot is more delicious than grilled fish!"
“This is my first time eating something so delicious!”
Du He smiled and said, "If you, old man, like to eat, you can come to your house to eat at any time."
Li Yuan shook his head: "That won't work. I haven't left the palace for many years. Today, when I went out, I was hit on the head with a shoe. Alas, your Datang Furniture Factory is not very safe either."
As he said that, he glanced at Li Er intentionally or unintentionally.
Li Er's face turned green.
This is mocking him.
Li Er said hurriedly: "Father, don't worry, I will punish those who cause trouble severely. No one will dare to come to the furniture factory to cause trouble in the future."
When the important ministers present heard this, they all felt sad for Wang Chen Shuda and others.
Even the Supreme Emperor is on Du He's side, so why are you fighting with Du He?
After finishing the hot pot meal, it was already the zenith of the moon. Li Er personally accompanied Li Yuan back to the palace, while the others went back to their homes, each holding their own children.
After the crowd dispersed, Lu Bu came over.
Du He looked at Lu Bu and said, "Well done, I'm just wondering how you managed to blend into the crowd without being discovered."
Lu Bu chuckled and said, "Master, as long as I am fast enough, no one can spot me. The only person who could spot something wrong was the black slave. It's a pity that he was dragged by you to play mahjong and had no time to worry about me."
where."
Du He nodded: "That shoe is perfect, the strength is neither heavy nor light, just right, and the accuracy is good!"
That's right, the shoe that hit Li Yuan on the head was thrown by Lu Bu who had sneaked into the crowd. It was Lu Bu who instigated those scholars who shouted to knock down the old man.
Poor Jiang Xian didn't know it was a trap set by Du He until he fainted.
Du He received the news from Yan Wentian last night and had already made a plan.
He first used mahjong to attract Li Yuan, then removed the guard at the door and placed the mahjong table in a conspicuous courtyard.
In order to prevent anyone from recognizing Li Ke, the king of Shu, Du He simply gave the bicycle to Li Ke and asked the boy to learn to ride in the yard next to him.
As a result, Jiang Xian and others were so enthusiastic that they didn't think much about it at all. After some incitement, they directly wanted to attack Li Yuan.
But with the black slaves present, no one could hurt Li Yuan.
So Du He arranged in advance for Lu Bu to take the opportunity to blend into the crowd and put a shoe on Li Yuan's forehead.
Now it seems that the effect is perfect.
Du He could only ask Lu Bu to do this kind of thing. He would not dare to arrange it for anyone else, even a brother in this era.
…
Situ Mansion.
Wang Youyou woke up.
His two sons, Wang Chongji and Wang Jingzhi, were at his side.
Wang opened his eyes, sat up, and immediately asked: "Where is Youxing? Where is Youxing?"
Wang Chongji shook his head and sighed: "Dad, Youxing and a group of students are currently being held in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment."
The king was startled: "In the prison of the Criminal Department, it seems that your majesty is really angry this time. It was me who harmed him. No, I have to go to your majesty to plead for mercy."
Wang Jingzhi shook his head: "Dad, it's useless. We have already gone to see His Majesty. All civil and military officials in the dynasty want to see Your Majesty, but His Majesty can't see anyone. This matter has become such a big deal that it's useless for anyone to speak, even if
It was the Datang Furniture Factory that was destroyed, and His Majesty probably wouldn't have done anything. But things have changed now. Youxing and his gang actually beat up the Supreme Emperor. This is a serious crime of assassinating the Supreme Emperor. He might have to kill everyone in his family.
of."
"My grandson..."
Wang shouted and fainted again.
…
Confucius Mansion.
Kong Yingda was also going crazy.
"Zhiliang was so impulsive that he followed those students and did such a thing!"
"No, I have to go find His Majesty."
Saying that, Kong Yingda got up and took Kong Zhifang and Kong Zhiliang into the palace together. They stayed at the gate of the palace all night but did not see Li Er.
…
Early the next morning.
Emperor Li Er's edict was issued directly without going through the Ministry of Education.
Jiang Xian and other scholars attempted to assassinate the Supreme Emperor, which was regarded as a serious crime of treason. The reasons were complicated. All students involved in this incident were exiled to Lingnan for ten years and were not allowed to return to Chang'an within ten years.
At the same time, Prince Li Chengqian was confined for three months.
Kong Yingda was fined one year's salary.
The king fined him a salary of one year.
When Wang, Kong Yingda and others went to the Criminal Department to find Li Daozong.
Li Daozong said helplessly: "Everyone, you are late. This is His Majesty's decision. There is nothing I can do to assassinate the Supreme Emperor. This will require the whole family to be executed. It is just an exile. His Majesty has shown mercy."
Kong Yingda and others were stunned immediately.
Being exiled for ten years in a place like Lingnan is no different from being executed.
Li Daozong suddenly said: "This matter is not without improvement."
"Master Li, please make it clear!"
Li Daozong said: "The turning point for this matter lies with Du He. This matter started because of Du He, and the relationship between Du He and the Supreme Emperor is extraordinary. If we can get Du He's help, there may be a turning point."
