When Yu Shinan, the first counselor under Li Tai, King of Yue, hurried into the study, Li Tai was writing something on a piece of paper.
He took a closer look and saw a piece of inferior paper that was slightly yellowed on the upper right corner of the table.
It says:
Li Bai's 100 poems about drinking wine and sleeping in a restaurant in Chang'an City.
The emperor couldn't get on the boat after calling him, so he claimed that he was a wine-drinking immortal.
It was the unknown poem written by Du He after the King of Yue personally came to visit him that day, intending to win over Du He, but was rejected by Du He.
This poem has now spread throughout Chang'an City.
Many people know that Du He has no intention of becoming an official.
But so far no one has figured out who this Li Bai is!
It is said that a few days ago by Baqiao, a group of folk poets discussed this poem, studied who the person in worship in the poem was, and finally unanimously concluded that Li Bai was actually Du He referring to himself.
As for the name of this poem, it is called "Untitled".
Because there really is no better name.
Of course, the original manuscript of this poem is in the hands of Yue Xiang Li Tai.
After returning to the palace that time, Li Tai often took out copies.
Li Tai was appreciated by Li Er not only because of his extraordinary intelligence, but also because he could write a good calligraphy poem.
But as soon as Li Tai saw Du He's words, he couldn't help but feel ashamed.
Yu Shinan stepped forward and whispered: "Your Highness, I have sent someone to investigate. This matter is entirely the result of His Majesty's interrogation. The Supreme Emperor did not interfere. Du He has been sleeping in the mansion these days. As for Du Xiang, it seems that
He was also indifferent to this matter and never said anything."
Li Tai put down his brush and raised his head, his face full of confusion.
Li Tai said curiously: "This is not in line with Du He's style. I have always believed that Du He was the kind of person who showed his teeth and was determined to retaliate. Those stupid scholars were only exiled for ten years, and the prince was only grounded.
This matter has obviously been handled lightly. Why can Du He be so calm? Isn't he worried that someone will retaliate against him afterwards? And now is the best opportunity to eradicate the root cause!"
Yu Shinan shook his head: "Du He behaves strangely. No one knows what he is thinking. Let's just say that this incident was clearly calculated so accurately, but ended hastily in the end. It is really unpredictable."
Li Tai nodded: "Prepare a generous gift and go to Laiguo Duke's Mansion tomorrow."
Yu Shinan was shocked.
Since it is a generous gift, it is not just a simple visit.
He couldn't help but ask: "Your Highness, is Du He worthy of your praise?"
Li Tai laughed and said, "Whether it's worth it is another matter. Anyway, my eldest brother was grounded for three months this time. Isn't this a happy thing?"
After speaking, Li Tai carefully put away Du He's manuscript.
…
"mmp..."
Du He sat cross-legged on the floor, looked up at Li Er, who was not far away and was concentrating on reading the memorial, and quietly extended his middle finger.
Early in the morning, Li Er sent Wen Buren to his residence to bring him into the Tai Chi Hall, and then he was thrown into the imperial study. Li Er handled political affairs and left him alone.
Du He knew this very well.
This ambitious emperor had long known about the assassination of the Supreme Emperor by Jiang Xian and others, otherwise he would not have spared those guys so easily.
Du He didn't know what Li Er wanted to do for a while, so he simply sat cross-legged on the ground, lowered his head, and started to take a nap.
The posture of sitting cross-legged was actually very indecent in the early days, because before trousers were popularized, the ancients wore robes with the lower body like a skirt. Sitting cross-legged would accidentally expose the trousers. If there was an exception,
If you like to put it in neutral, the birds will be seen, which is very ugly.
Of course, in this day and age, it doesn't matter anymore.
This is what Du He remembers being taught by the instructor during military training. As long as you sit in a standard posture, you won't feel uncomfortable after a long time.
Just as he was wandering around for nine days, Li Er's coughing sound came from next to him.
Du He quickly raised his head.
Li Er asked in a deep voice: "Du He, are you satisfied with my handling?"
Du He thought for a moment and chuckled: "Your Majesty, what are you talking about?"
"Of course it's the assassination of the Supreme Emperor!"
Du He quickly shook his head: "Your Majesty, I don't know what you are talking about. The assassination of the Supreme Emperor is related to the majesty of the royal family and even the prosperity of the country. What does such a big thing have to do with me?"
boom.
Li Er punched the table: "Still pretending to be stupid? Du He, Du He, what do you want me to say about you? At such a young age, you dare to scheme against the Supreme Emperor. You are really courageous.
.”
Du He's eyes widened, looking confused.
"Your Majesty, what are you talking about? Why can't I understand?" Du He asked pretending to be stupid.
Li Er's face darkened with anger: "Do you know what you are doing? If the Supreme Emperor is harmed in that conflict, I will not be unjust if I copy your entire family."
Du He looked calm on the surface, but he was secretly thinking in his heart. He thought he could hide it for a little longer, but he didn't expect that Li Er saw through it.
However, he could not admit this even to death.
Once you admit it, the sin will be huge.
Du He: "Your Majesty is absolutely right. His Majesty is so rich. If something happens to my furniture factory, it will certainly be considered a major accident. Just ransacking the house is nothing. The entire Lai Kingdom Palace should be executed, even if it's a serious accident."
Don't let go of a chicken, a dog, an ant, or a blade of grass. Your Majesty is wise and brave, and his decisiveness in killing will be passed down through the ages!"
Snapped.
The signature pen in Li's second hand was broken with a click.
He stood up angrily, pointed at Du He and said, "Du He, do you think that I dare not punish you?"
Du He shook his head: "Of course not. Your Majesty, you speak so eloquently, and what you say is an edict. There is a story about an old immortal named Xingxiu. I wonder if you have heard of it. His slogan is: Old Immortal Xingxiu, his power is boundless.
, has vast supernatural powers, and can control the Central Plains!"
Li Er was stunned and asked: "Who is this Xingxu Old Immortal? Why have I never heard of him?"
Du He stood up, patted his butt, and said, "Actually, I also heard this story from a man named Jin Yong. It's very powerful!"
As soon as Li Er heard about the immortal, he became interested and hurriedly said: "Say it quickly!"
Du He opened his mouth and came: "Speaking of which, there is a sect in the world called the Xingxiu Sect, which specializes in cultivation..."
Du He was eloquent and changed the story of Ding Chunqiu, the old immortal of Xingxiu, into a mess, all kinds of things, gods and goddesses. Finally, he slapped the table and said: "This old immortal of Xingxiu has become an immortal since he practiced the method of immortality. As for becoming an immortal.
What is the immortal’s funeral? Let’s hear the details next time!”
Just when Li Er was hearing the highlight, it suddenly disappeared. You can imagine his mood: "It's gone?"
Du He spread his hands and said, "No, goodbye, Your Majesty!"
With that said, while the two guards at the door were still immersed in the old fairy's story, he ran away in a flash.
