God-level Consort of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1288 Arrogant
As Dai Zhou got older, his speech became more verbose.

Speaking of the disaster relief in Chang'an City, he talked about it for two incense sticks.

Even people with high energy were almost falling asleep by what he said.

And Du He was even more drowsy.

When Dai Zhou finally finished speaking, the entire Taiji Hall was quiet, and a needle could be heard.

Especially above, there was no movement.

Dai Zhou looked up curiously, only to see Li Erzheng staring at the table in front of him in a daze, his mind wandering for nine days.

"His Majesty!"

Dai Zhou called softly.

Li Er did not respond.

"Your Majesty..." Dai Zhou raised his voice.

"Huh?" Li Er was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses, "Dai Qing's family, you continue to talk..."

Dai Zhou said awkwardly: "Your Majesty, I have finished speaking."

Li Er: "cough cough cough...Dai Qing's family, I was joking with you just now, but I have been listening to it all the time. What you said is very good. Originally, my expectations and the expectations of all my lovers were just Who would have thought that Du He, when he had no money and no one, would not only properly resettle the people affected by the disaster, but also completely change Chang'an City, making it look like a new city. This opportunity expanded Chang'an City and included Huxian County in the outer city of Chang'an City. Now, all the houses of Datang Construction Company in the outer city have been sold, and the outer city is gradually becoming lively. Tell me, is this a great achievement? ?”

Dai Zhou nodded: "This is a miracle!"

Swish.

Li Er stood up at once and said, "I won't talk about small contributions, but the three major contributions made by Du He have made an indelible contribution to Datang."

"First, Du He made a move to resolve the unreasonable demands of the Goguryeo envoys!"

"Secondly, Du He implemented a new tax policy to increase the revenue of Datang treasury by 400 million guan!"

"Thirdly, Du He, as the Chief Disaster Relief Officer of Chang'an City, successfully completed the disaster relief work."

He turned around and asked, "Did you remember everything?"

Zhao Yang: "Your Majesty, I have written everything down."

Li Er said in a loud voice: "Du He has made such great achievements, he deserves a lot of rewards, canonize Du He as a male in Huyi County, three hundred households in Shiyi, from the fifth grade!"

"Promoted Du He to be Wai Lang, the chief guest officer of the Ministry of Rites, and was in charge of the chief guest officer. County magistrate."

"Give Duhe a hundred taels of gold, a thousand taels of silver, and 50 taels."

"Appreciate silk cloth..."

Li Er seemed to have made some preparations, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he said like beans poured out of a bamboo tube.

As the recorder, Zhao Yang was extremely busy and flustered, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

The ministers were dumbfounded for a moment.

When Li Er finished speaking, Wang Gui was the first to jump out and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to say."

Li Er glanced at Wang Gui: "Wang Qing's family...do you think I shouldn't reward Du He?"

Wang Gui shook his head hastily: "No, Your Majesty, I didn't mean that. With Du He's contribution, His Majesty's reward is not too much... There is only one thing, Your Majesty wants to give Du He 50 yuan. I think it is inappropriate. Now , Datang is in need of money. Although this year's tax has increased by nearly 700 million compared with last year, Your Majesty must never forget that last year's tax will be empty before the end of the year. Your Majesty will give you money now. Du He's 50 guan is really a bit extravagant and wasted..."

Changsun Wuji said: "Your Majesty, Lord Wang is right."

Chen Shuda said: "Your Majesty, please take back 50 yuan and reward this one!"

"My minister agrees!"

"Seconded!"

For a time, many ministers agreed.

Li Er's face suddenly darkened.

Originally, he felt that he was rich and wanted to make a fortune in the court. This feeling was really cool.

Unexpectedly, so many people jumped out to tear down the stage.

Isn't this shameless?

He looked at Changsun Wuji and the others, and said in a deep voice: "I know... If that's the case, let the money come out of my internal treasury instead of using the treasury's money."

What?
From the inner library?

Wang Gui and the others were dumbfounded.

For the whole of next year, there will be only 100 million guan in the internal library, and His Majesty will transfer 50 guan to Du He.

Could it be that next year's palace expenses are not needed?
Wang Gui said: "Your Majesty, it is not impossible to spend from the inner treasury, but the money in the inner treasury always comes from the national treasury..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted roughly by Li Er: "Okay, Wang Aiqing, I know what you want to say, don't worry, next year, even if the imperial palace dies of poverty, I will not ask the treasury for money again. You have no jokes."

Speaking of this, everyone can see that His Majesty is annoyed.

Wang Gui retreated obediently.

Now, no one objected.

Du He stood at the back, witnessing everything that happened in the hall.

Next to him, an official looked at Du He enviously: "Congratulations, son-in-law, you have been promoted again, and you have also received the title of title. What a blessing that no one else can envy in eight lifetimes."

Du He looked indifferent: "This is nothing, just a man from Huyi County. I was the Duke of Huguo back then."

"It's only 50 guan, and Dream Group can earn it in a month!"

"It's just Wailang, the head and guest secretary of the Ministry of Rites. He's just a petty official from the fifth rank, not worth mentioning!"

The official's expression changed from envy to anger.

He looked at Du He with fiery eyes.

I almost couldn't help but rushed up to punch Du He.

Listen, is this what people say?
Too embarrassing!

Outrageous!

The official said in a low voice: "My son-in-law, you can't be too arrogant, otherwise you will..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw Du He striding forward.

I saw Du He coming in front of everyone.

Li Er looked at it, and asked: "He'er, are you here to thank me? There is no need, you deserve this."

Du He shook his head: "Father, my son did come to thank you, but I want to reject all the rewards from my father."

"Well, you are a good boy, I have always admired you, you... what did you say?" Li Er didn't realize it.

At the same time, there were also civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty who fell into consternation.

Is Duho crazy?
He turned down the reward.

What does this guy want to do?
Du He's face was sincere, it definitely didn't look like he was joking.

At the end, the official who just talked to Du He was surprised and said: "It seems that I misunderstood him. Since he can say the words of rejection, it means that he doesn't care about His Majesty's generous reward... Sigh, There are still such people in the world who don't seek fame and fortune, and don't like money, it really makes people wonder, can't figure it out!"

Li Er was surprised and said: "He'er...you, are you dissatisfied with my reward?"

Du He shook his head: "Father's reward is already extremely rich, how dare I be dissatisfied, my son...in fact, there is something hard to say."

"You... well, come on, I want to hear what reason you have for rejecting my reward." Li Er sat back on the dragon chair again.

For a moment, all civil and military officials in the court stared at Du He with wide eyes.
