God-level Consort of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1228 Taking People as Mirrors
Du He left Lai Guogong's mansion and walked into the imperial city.

On the way to Tai Chi Temple.

He couldn't help laughing at himself.

What I did was plotting against the current emperor.

Others know, maybe they will report on themselves for rebellion, and the emperor is also something you can calculate casually?
But for the sake of Lai Guogong and his own future, he had to do so.

There are only two paths before Du Ruhui: one is to continue to be the right minister, and then die from exhaustion; the other is to become an official and stay away from the court from now on, and Lai Guogong's mansion will no longer be one of the most powerful mansions in Chang'an City.

Du He must create a third way, which is to let Du Ruhui sit on the post of Taiwei and rank among the three princes.

Thinking about his thoughts, he had already arrived in front of the Tai Chi Palace.

······
On the Hall of Tai Chi.

Morning is almost over.

Wang Gui and Changsun Wuji, two ministers who had just recovered from serious illnesses, arrived, and the whole court was very happy.

Ordinarily, the two ministers, Situ and Sikong, don't need to take care of court affairs anymore, but these two can't stay idle, and they have great influence. Therefore, once these two appear in the early court, their influence is no less than that of the left and right. prime minister.

It seems that they are about to disperse.

Ximen Qing came in and reported: "Your Majesty, Sihu of the Jingzhao Mansion joins the army, and Du He, the son-in-law, asks to see you."

Duho?

Everyone was stunned.

"Du He is just a little Sihu joining the army now, what is he doing here?"

"This is against the rules!"

"Even if something happens in the Jingzhao Mansion, Liu Wentong will come to court."

Everyone was talking.

But I heard Li Er say: "Let him in."

"See you, Xuan Duhe!"

Du He walked into the Tai Chi Hall with a solemn and serious expression, and went straight to the front.

Without waiting for Li Er to ask, he said loudly: "Father, my son is not qualified to come to the morning court, but my father is not feeling well, so he asked me to send the memorial, please have a look at it."

Zhao Yang immediately took the memorial and handed it to Li Er.

Li Er opened the memorial, and after reading a few sentences, his expression became serious.

Du Ruhui's memorial was written completely according to Du He's request.

The man will be silent when he sees it.

Women will cry when they see it.

Li Er was not only silent, but also sad in his heart.

Du Ruhui is his right-hand man. Before that, he never thought that Du Ruhui would retire one day.

Seeing that Li Er was silent, the ministers raised their heads curiously.

After a while, Li Er raised his head and asked, "Du He, is your father's illness really that serious?"

Du He said: "Report to my father, my father's tuberculosis has been cured, but my father is getting old, and his health is not as good as when he was a man. Now, he can only eat a small bowl of rice porridge every day, and he can't walk. After burning an incense stick, he will be angry and peeing, and he needs to sleep for more than eight hours a day. Regarding the government, my father is powerless..."

"Using copper as a mirror, you can straighten your clothes. Using ancient times as a mirror, you can know the ups and downs. Using people as a mirror, you can understand gains and losses. I am a mirror for Your Majesty. Now, I want to retire. The most sorry thing is Your Majesty... These are the words of my father."

After speaking, Du He's voice choked up.

With copper as a mirror, you can straighten your clothes!

Using ancient times as a mirror, we can know the ups and downs!

With people as a mirror, you can understand the gains and losses!

These words shocked everyone.

I am Cao!

Mrs. Du is shameless, she can boast of that.

Isn't this bragging that he is His Majesty's most capable and most unmissable minister?

Many ministers' faces turned green.

Du He sneered.

A group of turtles.

Do you know what playing the emotional card is?
This is the textbook emotional card.

If there were no such words, how could the father think of all the good things his father had done in the past.

Of course, this sentence was supposed to be Li Er's most reasonable saying, which was said by Li Er sadly when Wei Zheng died.

Now it has been borrowed by Du He in advance.

Li Er pondered and said: "Take people as a mirror, and you can understand the gains and losses. Keming, Keming is my mirror. With him, I can check for my shortcomings, make suggestions for me, and even help me make decisions... Now, Keming is about to retire and stay away from the court, I..."

For a while, Li Er was talking like a sad old man.

Du He said loudly again: "I beg your father to understand my father's hard work all his life, and allow him to retire and enjoy the family happiness."

Everyone immediately raised their ears, waiting for Li Er's reply.

Li Er frowned.

He thought to himself, if I really allow Keming to become an official, how will people in the world think of me, and how will future generations evaluate me? Wouldn't some people say that I was ungrateful and ungrateful!

I can't do such a thing.

He looked at Du He, then at the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, and said in a deep voice: "I have my own concerns about Keming's affairs. If Keming wants to resign, I won't allow it..."

Du He already knew the answer in his heart.

But at this moment, he still asked in shock: "Father, why is this?"

The ministers were also dumbfounded.

But I heard Li Er say: "Keming is my right-hand man and a hero of the Tang Dynasty. If he leaves the court, it will be a great loss to the Tang Dynasty. I will not allow him to take office... However, he can no longer go to court until his full recovery."

Du He hurriedly said: "My son, I thank my father for my father, thank you for your kindness."

Li Er nodded, and asked: "My dear friends, do you have any opinions on my resolution?"

"Minister, I have no comment."

Everyone said in unison.

What a joke.

This kid Du He has already talked about that. If anyone dares to stand up against His Majesty's decision and spread the word, it will be criticized by thousands of people.

Immediately afterwards, Li Er ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to reward Du Ruhui with many precious medicinal materials and a lot of silk.

……

After the dispersal.

Everyone walked out of the palace gate.

On the way, Changsun Wuji stopped Wang Gui.

Changsun Wuji asked: "Lord Wang, what do you think about Du Xiang's appointment?"

Wang Gui said: "Du Xiang's body, I'm afraid it won't last long, and Du Gou is released, and Du He is just a small Jingzhao Mansion Sihu joining the army. After thinking about it, Du Xiang is the most What shouldn't be is to ask for an official post, but he actually did this, it's really strange!"

Changsun Wuji smiled and said, "Lord Wang has forgotten that there is always a vacancy in the court for the position of Taiwei."

Wang Gui's eyes widened: "You mean, what Du Xiang plotted was the position of Taiwei?"

"It's not impossible. It seems that Du He is also a person who is unwilling to be lonely. However, no matter how good his abacus is, I'm afraid he won't be able to wait for that day. If he wants to ascend the post of Taiwei, no matter how much His Majesty favors him. No, we still need the civil and military support of the Manchu Dynasty, and if we can convince the public, I'm afraid Du will not be able to..." Changsun Wuji said with a sneer.

Wang Gui nodded: "Du Xiang suffers from tuberculosis, and his health has never been good. According to what Master Changsun said, I'm afraid he will never return to court again."

The two said, looked at each other with a smile, and then left one after the other.

Du Ho emerged from the side.

Just now, the conversation between grandson Wuji and Wang Gui fell into his ears verbatim.

He looked at the backs of the two of them leaving, and cursed: "Two hookers..."
