God-level Consort of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1156 The smallest sesame official
Li Yuan is the Supreme Emperor, after his death, he was buried according to the treatment of the emperor.

Naturally, Li Er and the courtiers were in charge of these matters, and it was not Du He's turn to intervene.

After everything is done.

Du He was going to go back to Hu County first.

Who would have known, but with a single sentence from Li Er, he was confined in the palace.

"He'er, you were the emperor's favorite person during his lifetime, so you should stay and guard the spirit of the emperor." Li Er didn't discuss it, but ordered directly.

Du He looked at Li Er anxiously: "Father, I have entered the palace for ten days, and I still wear this set of clothes. Even if I don't go to Hu County, let me go back to Lai Guogong's mansion!"

"no!"

Li Er flatly refused.

Du He was depressed.

Li Yuanshu and Li Lizhi hurried over to comfort him.

Du He had no choice but to agree.

The national mourning lasted for 49 days, and Du He also stayed in Xi Neiyuan.

At first, he still felt a little bit.

Later, the whole person was numb.

I haven't showered or changed my clothes for the past two months, and my clothes are smelly.

After Li Yuan was buried in the imperial mausoleum, Du He got the order to leave the palace.

Du He walked out of the imperial city with unkempt hair and disheveled face. When he looked up, he saw thousands of people pointing at him.

Du He said hoarsely: "I, Cao...what the hell are you doing?"

Is it because of the smell on my body that you want to kill me?

Du He was about to run away.

However, he suddenly heard the voices of the people talking.

"This is Duke Hu!"

"What Duke Hu, he is now a commoner! Don't you know? Before the death of the Supreme Emperor, Duke Hu's title was cut, but he announced the abolition of the previous decree. From then on, Consort Du can also enter the court as an official. Yes! Concubine Du stayed in the palace for 49 days to pay tribute to the kindness of the Supreme Emperor, without eating or drinking."

"It's rare to see such a filial person!"

"Before, some people said that Concubine Du was just putting on a show, but now it seems that Concubine Du is so stupid in guarding the spirit, so how could it be a faux pas!"

"That's right..."

What?
Duhe stopped.

scratching his head.

Instead, I became the object of praise from all peoples?

He was happy, and then quickly ran back to Lai Guogong's mansion.

He ordered the people in the house to prepare a jar of hot water, took a hot bath, and scrubbed his whole body thirty times, before Du He changed into his clothes with satisfaction.

When he walked out of the courtyard, he happened to bump into Du Ruhui.

Du Ruhui asked: "He'er, Your Majesty asked you to keep watch, do you have any complaints?"

Du He said: "How could there be no... Why can other princes and grandchildren who are guarding the spirit go home, but I can't, and I am not allowed to take a bath or change clothes. Isn't this going to kill me?"

Du Ruhui sighed and said, "You...you don't know His Majesty's good intentions."

"What good intentions?"

Du He was stunned.

He didn't see any good intentions at all.

Du Ruhui explained: "Do you know how many uproars will be caused by the words of the Supreme Emperor before leaving? When the Supreme Emperor is leaving, the lifeless Yu Shi was killed on the spot... However, the courtiers will not give up because of this. I have been silent all this time because of the funeral of the Supreme Emperor, now that the funeral is over, many people will definitely be ready to move..."

"They want to prevent me from becoming an official?"

"That's right, your own weight, don't you know? Both civil and military officials in the court know that once you enter the court as an official, within a few years, you will probably reach a height that is admired by thousands of people. If others, they They will only envy you, only you, they will be jealous... because you act differently from ordinary people, you are different from everyone else, so everyone is guarding against you..."

After a pause, Du Ruhui continued: "But now, you don't have to worry about it. The fact that you don't eat or drink to guard the spirit of the Supreme Emperor has been publicized... The world knows that you are grateful for the kindness of the Supreme Emperor. At this time, if you There are people who dare to come out to prevent you from becoming an official in the court, then they must be enemies of the people of the world..."

Du He nodded: "Father, I understand!"

"You just understand!"

Du Ruhui turned and left.

……

Li Yuan's funeral is over.

The court also returned to normal.

Just as Du Ruhui said, no one dared to risk the displeasure of the world to prevent Du He from entering the court as an official, even though 1 of them were unwilling.

Morning of this day.

After dealing with political affairs.

Li Er opened his mouth and said: "My dear friends, the Supreme Emperor's last decree cut off the title of Duke Du Hexu, but the previous decree flew out, and Du He can enter the court as an official. Do you have any objections?"

Everyone shook their heads.

"I have no objection!"

The Supreme Emperor has passed away.

In addition, the fact that Du He guarded the spirit of the Supreme Emperor has become known all over the world.

Jumping out to object at this time, isn't that courting death?
Li Er nodded: "Since that's the case, I have an idea. Du He was previously the Duke of Hu, and he was cut off suddenly... It's really unreasonable. Why don't we discuss it today, what kind of official position should Du He take? Make up for him, and at the same time, it can be regarded as fulfilling the wish of the Supreme Emperor."

When everyone heard this, their eyes began to roll.

Give Du He an official?
Many people do not agree to this matter.

But Li Er said everything about this, and it will definitely not change.

Many people looked at each other.

Then we can only make a fuss about Du He's official position.

Let Du He enter the court, that would definitely not work.

It is not in everyone's interest.

After a while, Gao Shilian, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, stood up and said with a bow: "Your Majesty, I have a suggestion! The Supreme Emperor's last decree, let Du He enter the court as an official, it must be to sharpen Du He's heart, let Du He He does things for the people... With Du He's merits, he can definitely be given the position of third-rank official in the court... However, this is not the original intention of the Supreme Emperor, and it can't sharpen Du He's heart at all... The old minister suggested that Du He should be granted the post of nine To be promoted to an official position, and to be a county lieutenant in Wannian County, with Du He's talent, he will definitely be able to occupy a high place in the temple in the future, but this move allows Du He to sympathize with the hard work of the low-level officials and truly understand the suffering of the people..."

From the ninth grade, it is the lowest in the official ranks of the Tang Dynasty.

And the county lieutenant, according to the folk saying, is not even an official.

Because the smallest official is the county magistrate.

The county lieutenant is just an assistant to the county magistrate.

Besides, Wannian County is a top-ranking county, and Wannian County Captain should be from the ninth rank, but Gao Shilian found a lot of reasons, and even gave Du He a lower rank from the ninth rank.

Many people's eyes are straight.

This is just so wonderful.

This is humiliating Du He!
Changsun Wuji was the first to say: "Your Majesty, I think that Mr. Gao's suggestion is very appropriate."

Wang Gui also said: "Lord Gao, what you say makes sense!"

Chen Shuda said: "Master Gao has deep intentions, I really admire him!"

"My minister agrees!"

"The minister waits for the second opinion!"

"..."

Many people jumped out and agreed.

Du Ruhui frowned, and was about to speak, but was interrupted.
