Although he was dissatisfied with Zhennan Kingdom's peace proposal, Mu Anzhi still accepted it. The war in the southwest and the struggle for the throne had already damaged the vitality of the imperial court. Zhennan Kingdom is located in Yunnan and Guizhou. Not to mention its remoteness, it is also famously easy to defend and difficult to attack. What's more,
The two lakes have been occupied by the enemy for two years, and the ground has been devastated. Now that the lost territory has been recovered, An Guogong, who colluded with Zhennan Kingdom, committed suicide, and Nanyi Prefecture needs to send more troops to garrison.
Regarding the peace petition, Mu Anzhi asked the cabinet to watch and discuss it. He did not have any harsh conditions. As long as both sides defended their respective territories, it would not be too late to avenge the matter later.
Mu Anzhi first gave his mother a posthumous title. I don't know if Mu Anzhi did it on purpose. He chose the posthumous title himself. Queen Liu was given the posthumous title Mingde.
From now on, no matter in the court or in the history books, she will be called Queen Shende.
These two words are both excellent posthumous words for the title of a minister. For example, the very famous Queen Mingsheng of the Dongmu Dynasty was a famous generation of virtuous queens. Mu Anzhi used the word Ming as the posthumous title for his mother, which shows that the title of Queen Mingsheng is effective.
Meaning. However, none of the queens in the past could compare with Empress Mingsheng, and Empress Liu did not dare to use the word "sacred". The word "virtue" chosen by Mu Anzhi for his mother is very interesting.
The Lu family has fallen, and many old things from the past have been interrogated, including some secrets submitted by the Shenxing Division that Mu Qizhi, a commoner, ordered them to interrogate Aunt Liu severely. One of the ways in which Queen Liu was deposed was to kill the emperor's heir. Said Liu
The Queen once had the intention of murdering the former Emperor's eldest son Mu Qizhi, and Grandma Liu confessed everything in the Shenxing Division. It was indeed not Queen Liu who did it, but Mrs. Lu's order. At that time, the Lu family gave birth to the son first, and Queen Liu was the main palace official.
, I went to visit the eldest son of the emperor, and once I went there, Aunt Liu, who was taking care of the eldest son of the emperor, made the child uncomfortable. There were three shadowy rumors in the palace.
Now that these old things have been revealed, everyone is really impressed by the character of the Lu family. I think that not long after the emperor's eldest son was born at that time, even though the Lu family was favored in the palace, if the emperor's eldest son was good or bad, it would not be worth the loss. It really wasn't the case.
She doesn't feel sorry for her own children. Others are okay. Empress Dowager Lan learned about this and scolded her all afternoon in the palace. She had already disliked Mr. Lu, and Mu Qizhi also did something unforgivable. But, this has nothing to do with
Murdering the emperor's heir is two different things. These audacious traitors are so ambitious that there is nothing they dare not do!
Empress Dowager Lan has a clear conscience regarding the matter of Empress Liu. Of course, marrying a noble daughter like Empress Liu as her daughter-in-law has not happened to Empress Dowager Lan like Qi Dafei. Her daughter-in-law was of too high a family background, so her airs as a mother-in-law were a bit awkward.
It's a pity. But she is a first-class political figure. If she puts herself in Granny Diao's position, wouldn't she be looking down on herself?
When Empress Liu was here, Empress Dowager Lan might not really like her, but compared to Lu, Empress Dowager Lan naturally liked Empress Liu more.
This has been Empress Dowager Lan's position from beginning to end, and she has never changed it slightly. Of course, she would rather let the former Crown Princess learn to take charge of palace affairs than let the Lu family interfere. Although the former Crown Princess is also surnamed Lu, the Lu family ranks in the lower 20th position.
It is also true that he has never been in charge of the palace for the rest of his life.
Empress Dowager Lan couldn't help sighing, "If the Lu family hadn't been able to reach out to the Ai family, I'm afraid the Ai family would have been murdered by them."
This sentence is really true. The Lu family is completely due to their origin. After the passing of Marquis Rui, the family's beloved ones are not as good as before. Otherwise, even with Empress Dowager Lan's suppression of the Lu family, Mrs. Lu will not be able to let it go.
she.
Comparing this, we can see how loyal it was to rely on the power of the Liu family but not even the slightest hint of rebellion.
Empress Dowager Lan once told her daughter Fengyang Princess in private, "Back then, I didn't agree with it. Peiyun was not a power-loving person, but the Supreme Emperor... oh, it's happening now.
I heard that he was not very happy in the palace."
The eldest princess Fengyang couldn't help but sigh, "It can only be said that fate plays tricks on people." She comforted her mother, "I asked the prince-in-law to go there. My brother just felt a little cold occasionally. Concubine Hui and Concubine Lan are both meticulous people, so they serve her carefully.
The consort also has an errand from the Department of Internal Affairs, and I thought that the Department of Internal Affairs could not leave him, so I let Xiaobao go. Anyway, he has nothing to do at home, and I can make his uncle happy when he goes there."
The sun was setting outside Ci'en Palace, and the magnificent rays of rays of light filtered through the windows. Empress Dowager Lan looked at the molten gold courtyard, pursed her lips in a hard line, and suddenly said, "Actually, after all, it is the old man who has the final say."
For a moment, the eldest princess Fengyang was also silent. After the emperor ascended the throne, he had the intention to suppress the nobles, and even appointed Ruihou, who was born in a poor family, to take over the northwest army. Ruihou also lived up to the holy hope. Although he died young, he
Over the years, this story of a dragon and a tiger meeting each other and a king and his ministers getting along in a stormy situation has been a beautiful story on the lips of many people.
Who would have thought that Ruihou's life experience would be so secret, the Supreme Emperor would kill all the Liu family, and in the end, it would still be the blood of the Liu family that controls the Northern Frontier Army.
Even a prince with half the blood of the Liu family ascended the throne.
The eldest princess Fengyang couldn't help but feel horrified every time she thought about the family's conspiracy.
But on the other hand, the death of Marquis Rui at the hands of Lu Zhongyang was probably something that the old prince could not have expected. The struggle for power in the imperial capital has never divided the families into poor families. No one here wants to call the shots, no one wants to be aloof, and no one wants to be aloof.
Who doesn’t want to be under one person, and who doesn’t want to stir up troubles!
Empress Dowager Lan still had another worry, "My predecessor asked An Zhi to move his mother's mausoleum back to the imperial mausoleum. The mausoleum of the Supreme Emperor has been under construction, and it can be temporarily placed. However, depending on what he meant, he was a bit non-committal.
"
"Are we still going to let my siblings' tombs be placed in Tianqi Temple? This is too unfair."
"yes."
"Ask the Queen and you will know what An Zhi means."
What Mu Anzhi means...
After Mu Anzhi restored his mother's reputation, he was not in a hurry to move her mother's tomb. He rewarded meritorious soldiers three times, from the northwest to the southwest.
Lu Hou changed his surname back to his original surname. Lu Hou meant that his origin was always a little embarrassing, and he would rather take his mother's surname. Mu Anzhi said, "The old Duke and Rui Hou really have a father-son relationship with each other, so there is no need to worry about these details.
.In my opinion, those last years were a source of comfort to both Marquis Rui and the old Duke."
Marquis Lu directly advanced to the next level of title and was promoted to Duke.
Each of the generals under his command also received rewards.
The person who changed his surname together with Lu Hou was Du Changshi. Lu Hou's place was fine, it was far away, and most of the people who were awkward were the generals in Northern Xinjiang. Du Changshi didn't feel bad about changing his surname, and he wasn't too embarrassed. It can be seen that Du Shoufu
He really taught him well, but everyone is used to calling him Xiao Du. Even Mu Anzhi will occasionally say "Xiao Du". Even Du Changshi himself, if you want to call him Xiao Du, Mr. Du, he will react very quickly.
If you call him Little Duke, Mr. Liu, he will have to think about it later, ah, you are calling me.
So, in order to make it easier for himself and the big guys, Du Changshi gave himself a new name. His current name is Xiaodu, and his surname is Liu Xiaodu.
This word is simply...
Du Changshi took it for granted, "I am just doing it for the convenience of you, and I don't forget the kindness of my brother in raising him."
After changing his identity, Du Changshi inherited his family title.
The Liu family has been transformed into a family with one surname and two dukes. In fact, Xiao Du Guogong originally had the title of Duke Chengen. After all, it is natural for Mu Anzhi to ascend the throne and join his mother's family. However, Xiao Du Guogong takes the title of Queen's mother's family.
I humbly resign from the title of my relative. I am willing to make meritorious service to His Majesty as a minister, but I do not want to be honored by my relative.
There was no shortage of titles in the family, but Duke Du was not too keen on the matter of titles. He took over the family affairs and renewed the genealogy. There were also clan members who were not affected back then who came to seek refuge. Most of them were distant blood relatives.
For those outside the fifth server, Xiao Du Guogong did not reconnect with them. For those within the fifth server, how should they be counted?
For these tribesmen, the most gratifying thing is that the family has been re-established in the court. Even if they don't get any glory, as long as the family exists, it is their greatest reliance.
Especially those female relatives of the Liu family who are married outside. Over the years, they have suffered many misfortunes, endured many hardships, and with the reversal of the Liu family's verdict, there have been many joys, sorrows, and blood and tears in the world.
so--
Little Duke Du is eager to get married!
He urgently begged Mu Anzhi to grant him a marriage, and then, before the wedding, he took his fiancée Zhu Yue and his mother-in-law to his home. He was too busy with the house. The princess wanted to help, but she also got involved.
age, and the princess is still busy with the engagement and wedding of Da Niu and Huan Li and the preparations for the wedding of Xiao Du Guogong.
Xiao Du Guo was eager to follow the official affairs and brought his daughter-in-law first. The princess of the county was there to guide her in taking care of the palace's internal affairs.
To say that the former imperial merchant Zhu family is really enviable to everyone.
For a family like Xiao Du Guogong, who is waiting to marry their daughter to Xiao Du Guogong, they don't have one thousand but eight hundred. Not to mention you, the daughter of an imperial merchant, is a princess and princess. Xiao Du Guogong can also be called a good match. Fengyang
The eldest princess regretted that she only had one daughter who was already married. As a result, the young prince turned around and settled on the daughter of the imperial merchant.
This, this simply shocked the jaws of half the people in the imperial capital.
Especially Du Shoufu's uncle's house. They went to Du Shoufu's house several times. What they said was nothing more than saying that when Mr. Du was still alive, he arranged a marriage for young Du Guogong, and it was their daughter. The marriage was canceled back then.
, it was a complete misunderstanding. Du Shoufu was surprised, "My cousin has been married for many years, why does my uncle bring up this old thing?"
At that time, my uncle's family had always been reluctant to have this marriage. The main reason was that the young Duke Du was born as a concubine, and it was a bit of a disadvantage to have a legitimate daughter. The uncle's family used a bad trick, because the mother-in-law made weird remarks on the road that the young Duke Du had to pass, saying that being a concubine was despicable.
Yes, Xiao Du Guogong was the second son of the Du family back then. Although he was born as a concubine, his brother, sister-in-law, and parents had never wronged him in the slightest. How could he bear this? At that time, he beat his mother-in-law and went to his uncle's house to cancel the engagement in person.
And given that young Duke Du was harsh and unethical, this incident was really a big deal. Du was not only annoyed with his uncle's family for being snobbish, but also angry with his younger brother for doing things rashly. He asked others to take advantage of his words and ruined his reputation, and even gave his younger brother a lesson.
The marriage also fell apart.
Later, young Duke Du fell in love with a girl from the Zhu family. Du Shoufu inquired about her and found that she was a capable girl and did not object. In the chaotic days of the imperial capital, he also paid more attention to the Zhu family.
Now that his uncle's family was bringing up the matter of marriage again, Du Shoufu felt like he had a clear mind and said directly, "That's it, that's it. The original settlement letter was passed through the Imperial Capital."
Uncle Xian was more concerned about face, so he said awkwardly, "I said so too, but your aunt insisted on me coming over."
The shameless aunt rubbed her handkerchief and answered, "Didn't you know that at the beginning?"
"What don't you know? Don't you know that he is of the Liu family's blood, or that he has the blessing of being a duke?" Du Shoufu gave him a cold glance, and his aunt did not dare to say anything more.
When the uncle saw it, he immediately scolded his aunt and turned to talk good things to his nephew, "I don't know either way. If I knew and didn't say anything else, how popular the old Duke was back then, or if something happened to the Liu family, if I knew that A Feng
She is of Liu family blood, no matter what, I can't agree to break off the marriage. It can be seen that your cousin is unlucky, and our family is also unlucky. I heard about the marriage granted by Xiao Guogong, and I thought that Xiao Guogong would call me my uncle these years.
, he was given a back-up gift when he got engaged, which also shows the closeness between our two families."
Du Shoufu calmly dealt with his uncle's family for a few words. He was busy now, so he asked his eldest son to accompany his uncle's family to talk while he went out to attend to other matters.
Mu Anzhi had known about Du Changshi and Zhu Yue for a long time. Ever since Du Changshi followed Mu Anzhi to join the vassal in northern Xinjiang, and they had been fighting for many years, it was rare that the girl was still waiting for him.
Therefore, as soon as Du Changshi asked for marriage, Mu Anzhi happily agreed and said, "Take your horoscopes with Miss Zhu to the Qintian Prison, and ask the Qintian Prison to calculate a lucky day for you, so that you can get married as soon as possible."
, from now on, our two families must have a son-daughter marriage."
Du Changshi smiled and said, "If your majesty has a princess to marry, it will be a real blessing."
"Why must my daughter marry your son? Maybe your daughter will marry my son." Although Mu Anzhi has not seen his daughter yet, he is very cautious about choosing a prince-in-law.
Du Changshi is in high spirits during happy events, "Don't stick to this, don't stick to this, I'll see if your children fall in love with each other in the future."
Then, before Zhu Yue even got married, she had to go home first and help her husband with the housework.
Mother-in-law, Mrs. Zhu, was so moved. When Xiao Du Guogong was the concubine of Lord Shangshu, the marriage was a high-ranking one, and she did not expect that her son-in-law would have a more terrifying life experience. At first, Mrs. Zhu was wondering whether her son-in-law would change her mind. After all,
We can't afford to offend someone with such a status and power even if he changes his mind. I don't want my son-in-law to be so affectionate and ask the emperor to marry him. Where can I find such a good character?
Not to mention that my son-in-law was of noble birth, both in civil and military skills. He was an ordinary man and a good man who could be trusted for life.
Now that Zhu Yue has been granted a marriage, her brother-in-law Zhu Wan is now an official in the Imperial Academy and is not engaged in business. Zhu Yue began to pick the most capable children in the family to take over the grain merchant business of her parents' family. Now the Zhu family is no longer divided into cliques.
The Zhu family is competing with Zhu Yue for the family property. With Zhu Yue having such a good marriage, the whole Zhu family wishes they could forget all the previous events.
The princess of the county had known Zhu Yue for a long time. The Zhu family was a large grain merchant in Shanxi, and they supplied military grain in the northwest. Mu Anzhi had been very effective in the northwest in recent years.
Moreover, Zhu Yue had been in touch with Li Yuhua very early. When Mu Anzhi was still the prince, Zhu Yue often visited the prince's mansion.
She is a capable girl.
The princess said this about Zhu Yue.
Princess Xin'an was particularly envious of the marriage between Xiao Du Guogong and Miss Zhu. Her son was living in the southwest, and now that the southwest had been recovered, and his son had made military exploits, Princess Xin'an's heart was focused on her son's marriage.
Now she goes to see the princess of the county whenever she has time to discuss the marriage of her two children.
Da Niu originally felt that Huan Li was more like her younger brother, but in the past few years, she has never met anyone who is more to her liking than Huan Li, and she is not young. Huan Li returned to the imperial capital after sending secrets, and did not forget to send her a letter for a long time.
Now, the older girl couldn't help but feel some affection for her, and she had the intention of getting married.
With Xiao Du Guogong's marriage as an example, Princess Xin'an thought that it would be decent for their two families to also grant marriages to His Majesty.
Not only did Mu Anzhi grant a marriage, the old Marquis of Nan'an also died fighting for the country, and the recovery of the southwest was due to Huan Li's efforts. The Hu family had guarded the southwest for generations, and Mu Anzhi directly gave the title of Marquis of Nan'an to Huan Li. As for his former son,
Hu Qing summoned him back to the court and appointed him to another official position.
After receiving the reward from the southwest, Mu Anzhi also made Da Niu a princess, and then gave Da Niu Huan Li a marriage. He also promised that after Xiao Du's wedding, he would put Xiao Du in Lianghu as the governor. After Xiao Du took office,
He then announced that Huan Li would return to the imperial capital to report on his duties, and by the way, he would take care of the wedding matters, and then he could go to guard Nanyi Prefecture.
Therefore, everyone thought that there must be a place for Xiao Du Guogong in the six tribes. Unexpectedly, His Majesty sent Xiao Du Guogong to Lianghu as governor. At this time, the wise and discerning military general Shixun and the civil servant family began to think about sending their capable children to Lianghu to serve as governors.
Official. Without him, Xiao Du Guogong had considerable military exploits when he was in northern Xinjiang. Your Majesty sent Xiao Guogong to be the governor of the two lakes, saying that he would not send troops to suppress the southern country in the future to avenge the two lakes.
As for whether this battle can be won, no one is sure. However, with a new noble like Xiao Du Guogong, such a close relationship with His Majesty, and being serious uncles and cousins, whoever can make friends with Xiao Du Guogong will have a better future.
? Even under Xiao Du Guogong, as long as you work well, it is easy to rise to the top. This man is already a duke. No matter how meritorious he is, his title will not be promoted. His official position is just to go to the Sixth Ministry. What's more, Xiao Du Guogong has always had a good reputation.
When it comes to competing with his subordinates for merit, following Xiao Du Guogong's subordinates has led to a lot of success. Such a superior officer is something you can only dream of.
Therefore, this was a vigorous marriage event in the Imperial City.
The Lin brothers were also promoted to the rank of fourth-grade generals due to their military exploits. The young Duke Du thought that they were not too old for their age, so he discussed with the princess to find two wives for them, with clean family backgrounds and gentle and sensible temperaments.
General type.
Xiao Du Guogong also asked his former servant, Wan Yue, who was now a fifth-grade military attache, if he wanted to go on a blind date with him. Wan Yue was young and had no intention of doing so for the time being. However, it was true that his father, Guan Ye, was in a hurry. Xiao Du Guogong's public security
Comfort him, "It's okay. I'll give you a grandson for you to take care of, Uncle Ye."
Guanshi Ye said in his heart, it's not enough to serve you, I also have to serve your grandson. I remember when I was so dignified... Looking at the smiling eyes of little Du Guogong, Guanshi Ye couldn't help but think, maybe this kind of serving others can become a habit. If his own little boy
I gave birth to a very naughty little boy, so I have to have an old man like him watching over me to feel at ease.
Manager Ye also introduced Zhui Feng, the man who once assassinated Duke Du, to Duke Du. He really didn’t try his best to assassinate Duke Du back then. Otherwise, why would he act on Zhuque Street just for show. In Zhui Feng’s words, “The Emperor knew that Xuanyin
The pavilion was built by the eldest brother. A few years before Wen Jia took over the Northern Xinjiang Army, we worked as guards for him for a few years and then left. The case of the Zhou family brought Xunxiang out, and he recruited everything.
. It was Lao Ye who sent us a secret letter, asking us to assassinate the young master. We haven’t contacted Lao Ye for more than 20 years, and thought something had happened to him long ago. We were really shocked when we suddenly saw his seal."
Little Du Guogong looked at Guanshi Ye in surprise, "Uncle Ye, you are so mysterious." He told Zhuifeng Kuangdao, "Until last year, I didn't know that Uncle Ye was so good at martial arts. That was when I met an assassin when I went out.
After confessing, Uncle Ye killed three of them with three swords, which scared me a lot. At that time, I thought that Uncle Ye was really hiding his face."
Zhui Feng smiled, "Lao Ye became famous in the world thirty years ago. Those assassins are just Lao Ye's descendants. If he hadn't been guarding the young master, it would have been easy for me or Bang Feng to have his traces exposed."
Crazy Blade nodded, agreeing with Zhui Feng's words.
Manager Ye explained, "Young master, you are with His Highness the Third Highness, and Xunxiang is from Xuanyin Pavilion. Anyone who has experienced what happened back then knows that my eldest brother took great care of Empress Liu during his lifetime. It would be bad if people think too much about it."
, not to mention the uncle, I simply used this assassination to tear them apart. I told them to be gentle, and the uncle was not seriously injured."
Manager Ye explained very professionally, "The assassination must be more realistic, otherwise it will not be hidden from the eyes of people like the Imperial Capital."
"Realistic! I really hated Uncle Dao and Uncle Feng for a long time." Little Du Guogong's fingers trembled again and again. At that time, he thought he was going to die.
A smile flashed across Guanshi Ye's eyebrows, "I used to practice martial arts for an hour every day, but since I was assassinated, I have doubled my practice without anyone urging me."
Little Du Guogong rolled his eyes and turned to Zhuifeng Kuangdao, "Where are your two uncles employed now?"
Chasing the Wind Kuangdao is still walking around in the world. The two of them mainly want to ask Little Duke Du to show his favor and eliminate the two wanted persons in the Ministry of Punishments. This matter is not a big problem. Little Duke Du thought about it and said, "Now that His Majesty has just ascended the throne, he is the one who has lost everything."
When it comes time to recruit people, both uncles have the same skills, so why not find a job and serve the imperial court. Traveling in the world is certainly cool, but serving the imperial court can protect one's side, and he is also a great chivalrous man, serving the country and the people."
The two of them have rich experience in the world, but they are a little worried about the court. Xiao Du Guogong said, "Don't worry, uncles, I and Uncle Ye are responsible for dealing with the court. You brothers are all together, so you have nothing to do."
We can also reminisce about old times together.”
When Xiao Du Guogong communicated this matter to His Majesty the Emperor, he said to His Majesty, "The wanted order from the Ministry of Punishment has been withdrawn." Then he added, "Didn't Prime Minister Du mention it to you?"
"No." Little Duke Du looked confused, but His Majesty the Emperor didn't say much. Instead, he gave him some relief and said, "Du Xiang was also thinking about the overall situation these years. Don't blame him."
Little Du Guogong's eyes widened, what do you mean?
What does it mean--
Xiao Du Guogong originally thought that this matter was planned by Manager Ye. After he went home and had a detailed understanding with Manager Ye, he found out that it was his brother's idea. Xiao Du Guogong was so angry that he complained to his brother, "What if Crazy Blade
If you miss, I will ask Zhui Feng to shoot him to death with an arrow. What should I do? Then you will have no brother!"
After Du became Chief Assistant, he became even busier at work. He glanced at young Duke Du and continued to lower his head to deal with official documents. It wasn't until young Duke Du whispered in his ears ten times that Du first asked in return, "Are you dead?"
Little Du Guogong snorted, "What if? You haven't thought about what if?"
Du Shoufu said in his usual objective tone, "Father is very careful about his life. If it rains and falls on a flat ground, he will be dead."
"Why are you talking about dad like that?" Xiao Du Guogong was not very happy. His father treated him well when he was alive. He gave him whatever he asked for. When learning to fight at home, his father always helped his relatives but did not help. When his eldest brother taught him a lesson, his father would still help him.
He taught his eldest brother a lesson. Although his father's ability to reason was not at the same level as his eldest brother's, he would often teach his father a lesson after his eldest brother had taught him a lesson. Little Du Guogong said with nostalgia, "There is no one as good as dad anymore."
Du Shoufu really couldn't stand this disgusting tone. Speaking of which, his father often touched this kid's head when he was alive and said in a tone that made the fashionable and young Du Shoufu feel goosebumps all over his body, "A Feng and Daddy."
It’s really exactly the same.”
It can't be said that there is some father-son fate.
Du Shoufu thought silently.
Du Shoufu was a gentleman. He looked at this younger brother who had been raised by himself and said, "You are still more like a little prince."
"Who?" Xiao Du Guogong didn't respond to who his brother was talking about.
"Your biological father."
"No way. I heard from the aunt of the princess that my father is a weak nobleman who knows nothing about fighting, but he is a very good person." Little Du Guogong has never been treated badly since he was a child, not to mention that the family feud has been avenged. At this time, he said
His father was just a little sad. Little Du Guogong leaned half of his body next to his brother, stroking the new paperweight on the table with his fingers. After a while, he raised his eyebrows and stared at his brother's square face with some curiosity and asked, "Yes
Isn’t it similar to being a good person?”
The nib of Du Shoufu's pen was skewed, and he almost failed to write the official document. Fortunately, he stopped the pen in time and said calmly, "It's getting more and more shameless."
Little Du Guogong was angry, "Then what exactly is the resemblance?" Anyway, he doesn't look like him. I heard that he looked a little like his biological father when he was just born, but as he grows up, he no longer looks like him.
"It's like having a big heart."
The look on young Du Guogong's face at that time was as if a flower had suddenly bloomed on his face. Du Shoufu couldn't help laughing when he saw his brother with a smile as bright as a flower saying happily, "I never thought I would hear you praise me again in this life."
Du Shoufu curled up the corners of his lips and turned around to continue reviewing official documents.
He is indeed the kind of person who is born with a big heart. When he was a child, this kid fought all the time, and his clansmen would come to his home to complain. When Du Shoufu taught young Duke Du to become a talented person, he was prepared to turn against him in the future, but the result was always the same as the day before.
The younger brother, who gritted his teeth after being lectured by him, completely forgot yesterday's unpleasantness the next day. Of course, he also completely forgot yesterday's lesson and still caused trouble for him.
It takes a lot of effort to raise such a naughty child, but the sense of accomplishment after being trained and taught to become a talented child is also extremely great.
"Brother, does my father have any great kindness to you or to our father? You took such a big risk at that time."
In fact, it is not a great favor, it is just that Du's father's imperial examination performance was mediocre, he was granted an official position, and his ability to be an official was also mediocre. In a family like the Du family with a history of hundreds of years, Du's father was the sixth-rank chief registrar that year. The family power
When I was young, cats and dogs dared to come and bully me. Du's father was tricked into cheating. After being reprimanded, he was ordered to go back to his house to await his punishment. Seeing that the house was about to collapse, Du's father came to plead for mercy. When the old man asked what happened, Du's father came to the house to plead for mercy.
The father was still talking about the cause and effect. Du Shoufu, who was worried about his father and followed him out, showed his talent since he was a child. His few words hit the point and made the old man's eyes light up. He caressed the young man
Du Shoufu said to Du's father, "Xiao Du, this is your Qianliju."
He also asked a few questions about his homework. It can be imagined that the number one scholar is not achieved in one day. Geniuses are geniuses since childhood. The old Duke asked Du Shoufu where he studied, and he learned that he studied in the Du family. At that time, Du Shoufu
Family studies are not something that will happen in the future. If the talents of family studies were not withered, no one would dare to plot against Du's father.
He ordered his men to settle Du's father's lawsuit and sent Du Changshi to a government school where he could study.
The old man probably did one good deed that day. Maybe there were countless such good deeds in the life of the old man. Maybe when the Liu family was in trouble, too many people who had been kind to the Liu family chose to watch from the sidelines, but in the end, the Du family
, remember that kindness, remember the helping hand extended by the Liu family back then, and thus repay this kindness.
Du Shoufu touched his younger brother's head. He didn't know much about the young Duke Liu Peiyun. After all, the two families were very different in power at that time. Liu Peiyun had been in the palace and wealthy families since he was a child, but he knew that he was a good person. Although he was of noble birth, he was not
Arrogant, a little naive but not annoying. With such a weak temperament, the responsibilities of the Duke's government are too heavy for him.
Therefore, Du Shoufu has always had high standards and strict requirements for his younger brother. In the jungle of beasts like the Imperial City, it has never been easy to survive, live well, and live with a conscience.
