Li Er reacted immediately and hurriedly shouted: "Zhao Yang, capture Du He for me."
Zhao Yang immediately led his men to chase him.
Not long after, Zhao Yang came back angrily and said helplessly: "Your Majesty, Du He took the gold medal given to him by the Supreme Emperor and walked out of the palace unimpeded. I heard from the palace guards that his martial arts are very powerful.
The guards had already prepared the carriage, and as soon as he left the palace gate, they got on the carriage, and he should be almost at the Lai Kingdom Palace by now."
At this moment, Hou Junji, the Minister of War, came in and asked curiously: "Your Majesty, what happened?"
As soon as Zhao Yang said this, Hou Junji hurriedly asked: "Your Majesty, will you send someone to capture Du He?"
Li Er waved his hand.
Zhao Yang and others immediately retreated.
When Hou Junji and Li Er were the only ones left in the study, Li Er asked: "How do you think I should deal with Du He in this matter?"
Hou Junji shook his head: "Your Majesty, although it is clear that this matter was arranged by Du He, but without any charges, I'm afraid I won't be able to convince the public!"
"Huh, convince the crowd, I am the emperor, how can I convince the crowd when I deal with a young boy... But Keming has always been my loyal minister. If I really want to deal with Du He, I am afraid it will chill Keming's heart.
That's all... This Du He really gives me a headache!" Li Er rubbed his head.
Hou Junji smiled helplessly.
…
Early the next morning.
Du He was still asleep when he was woken up by the banging on the door.
He got up and opened the door and saw that Lao Fu was banging on the door in a hurry instead of knocking on the door.
"Old Fu, are you, an old fellow, so impatient? You even dare to break down my young master's door. You are so courageous!" Du He said dissatisfied.
After being together for such a long time, how could Lao Fu not know that Du He was joking.
However, he was no longer in the mood to joke with Du He and said anxiously: "Oh, Master, something big has happened again!"
Du He panicked, "What's the big deal? Could it be that His Majesty sent someone to arrest me? This old boy is unreasonable!"
The old man shook his head hurriedly and said: "Young master, it is not your Majesty who sent someone, but Mr. King Situ, the Crown Prince's right concubine Master Kong, and Mr. Chen, the Minister of Rites, with a group of people, dozens of them, to take our Duke Lai Guo.
The gate of the mansion is blocked."
Du He got angry when he heard this, "Damn, there are really some people who are not afraid of death. Those scholars haven't left Chang'an City yet, and these guys want to follow in their footsteps? Let's go and have a look!"
Du He called Lu Bu and took five or six guards from the furniture factory. They all carried sticks and marched to the gate in a mighty manner.
When I walked to the gate, I saw that, sure enough, Kong Yingda, Wang, Chen Shuda, and Pei Ju, with more than 20 people, had surrounded the gate.
Du He's face darkened, and he waved his hand: "Hit me, grandma, if a tiger doesn't respond to a cat, you think I'm critically ill...don't let anyone go!"
The guards rushed forward with sticks and surrounded Kong Yingda and others.
Now that Du He has opened his mouth, don't worry about you being Grand Master Situ, just hit him.
These guards are real tigers!
Seeing that the stick was about to hit his head, Kong Yingda quickly shouted: "Don't hit, don't hit, Du He, don't do it!"
"Du He, I have something to say!"
"Don't do it!"
"Don't hit anyone!"
Du He raised his hand and pressed it down. The guards immediately put away their sticks and stood aside with eager eyes.
I saw him walking forward slowly, staring at everyone, and asked: "Is there anything else you can say? Everyone, you blocked the door of my house this morning, isn't it a bit unethical!"
The king immediately stepped forward and said: "Du He, we are here today just for a visit, not to cause trouble. Please listen to what I have to say first."
Du He nodded: "You say it first!"
Wang said: "To be honest, one of the people who came to the furniture factory to cause trouble that day was my grandson Wang Youxing. My grandson is a few years older than you, but he acted impulsively since he was a child and caused this kind of disaster. It is really his own fault."
, but he is less than seventeen years old. If he really reaches the land of Lingnan, it is still unknown whether he can come back alive. My king, I will come to your door today and beg Mr. Du to come to my rescue. Please plead for mercy in front of your majesty, Mr. Du.
Youxing."
As he said this, Wang Yi bowed his head to the end.
This is a great gift.
If it were anyone else, I would probably be flattered.
After all, the king's status is high, and he is the Situ of the dynasty.
Although Situ, one of the Three Dukes, was just an honorary title and had no actual power, who knew that this was an era where respect and etiquette were important.
Unfortunately, Du He remained unmoved.
Kong Yingda stepped forward and said: "Master Du, I really shouldn't have opposed you before. Today I am resting at home and I have figured out a lot of things. This chair... no, this chair has been commonly used among the people.
Mr. Du built a revolving wooden chair to benefit the people. As long as he does not force the revolving wooden chair to be promoted to officials, there is nothing wrong with it. I was confused for a while, which caused my son Zhiliang to make a big mistake. I am here today to ask you a special invitation.
Master Du, please forgive me and help save Zhiliang."
"My son has offended Mr. Du. I would like to ask Mr. Du to have more of it!"
"My grandson Fang Cong is ignorant, why should I invite Mr. Du Haihan!"
"Master Du, we swear that we will never go against you again!"
…
For a moment, everyone gathered around.
Among these people were imperial officials and aristocratic families in Chang'an City, all of whom were related to those scholars.
Du He glanced around coldly and thought to himself, these bastards, once it comes to a life and death situation, all Confucian etiquette and traditional morality are bullshit.
He sneered and said, "I remember, that's not what you said when you boycotted my revolving wooden chairs produced by Datang Furniture Factory."
Kong Yingda gritted his teeth, put aside all dignity, and said: "Master Du, it was me and others who were confused in the first place."
"Yes, we are so stupid! We shouldn't go against Mr. Du!"
"To be honest, I also have this revolving wooden chair at home. It is really convenient to use, but my son thought it was perverse and smashed it. It makes me cry when I talk about it!"
"Now, we have woken up..."
Looking at each one of them beating their chests and feet, they can be called drama queens.
Du He thought for a moment and said, "It's not like we can't talk about this matter!"
Everyone was overjoyed immediately.
As long as Du He agrees, everything will turn around.
Du He suddenly raised his hand, interrupted everyone, and said: "However, you must show your sincerity. As for how to negotiate, please come to the furniture factory at six o'clock tomorrow morning. Let's discuss it slowly.
However, if you want to be free of charge, I’m afraid that’s not possible. I, Du He, have been short of money recently and have no money to spend...Old man, see your guests off!”
With that said, Du He turned around and left.
Wang and others stayed where they were, but they were uneasy.
Du He had obviously agreed to talk about this matter, so why did he say the last words?
