God-level Consort of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 10 Calm, Calm

Royal Palace.

Inside the imperial study.

Hou Junji, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, was summoned by Li Er alone.

Hou Junji handed over a list to Li Er.

After Li Er finished reading, he remained silent for a while.

Swish.

Li Er tore up the list.

After clapping the table, he said: "Chengqian, he is only 14 years old now, he really has my demeanor, a 14-year-old child can't wait to become emperor... Bravery is commendable, but he is so stupid, how dare he dare to be emperor?" I'm so disappointed to win over the heirs of the courtiers and try to get out of the way!"

Hou Junji hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, we must take measures for this matter. Now, especially with the support of Chang Sun Chong, Fang Yiai, Gao Xing, and... Du He, these people are called Chang'an The four evils, I don’t have any other skills, but they are very good at harming people, I’m afraid the prince will be bewitched by these people and do something outrageous!”

Li Er nodded.

"Of course I know. Of course I have heard of the names of the Four Plagues of Chang'an, but... I suddenly don't understand. Is this Keming's son, Du He, really one of the Four Plagues of Chang'an?" Li Er looked puzzled.

Ever since meeting Du He yesterday, Li Er realized that he could see through the minds of the ministers in the court, but he couldn't see through Du He anyway.

Hou Junji didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Your Majesty, you don't know that Du He blocked roads and robbed Chang'an Street at the age of three, molested women from good families, smashed up shops, beat up foreign envoys, and even molested Lord Wei's daughter in the street not long ago... ..."

Hou Junji is very familiar with Du He's crimes.

Hou Junji's identity on the surface is Minister of the Ministry of War, but in fact, he is Li Er's eyes and ears behind the scenes.

After Li Er ascended the throne, he set up a secret guard similar to the intelligence agencies of later generations, specializing in investigating the Chinese and military ministers of the court, and Hou Junji was the leader of the secret guard.

Li Er heard the words, nodded and said: "Since this is the case, you can handle this matter according to your discretion. No matter whose heir is, it is a serious crime to form a party with the prince..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw Zhao Yang, the servant, rushing in like crazy.

"Your Majesty, it's bad, it's bad...Prince...Prince...Prince and the others..."

Li Er's heart trembled.

Even Hou Junji was taken aback.

Could it be that the crown prince rebelled?

Li Er is a rebel, and he is quite sensitive about this matter.

Li Er got up, grabbed Zhao Yang's shoulder, and asked, "What's wrong with the prince?"

Zhao Yang gasped and said: "Your Majesty, it's not good, the crown prince was beaten, just now there was news that His Highness the crown prince just came back from Lai State Duke's mansion, and was beaten with a black nose and a swollen face!"

Li Er's eyes widened: "Who did it?"

"Yes...it's Du He..."

Li Er was shocked when he heard this.

……

Du Ruhui just stepped through the gate of Lai Guogong's mansion, and felt that his legs were weak.

Just a moment ago, he was still working in Shangshu Province.

Hearing the news that the prince was beaten by Du He suddenly, he couldn't believe it was true.

He didn't dare to be sure until he returned to the door and heard what Old Fu said in person.

Hurrying to the backyard, he saw Du He planing wood with a calm face, making his head look ashamed.

Du Ruhui stepped forward, grabbed Du He's wrist, and said, "He'er, pack up your things right away, and set off right away, all the way west, to the Western Regions... Remember, you must never stay!"

Du He asked curiously: "Father, what's going on? Did something happen to you? Why did you run away?"

Du Ru was so unlucky that he almost suffocated: "You... What time is it, are you still pretending to be confused? Do you know that all the civil and military officials in the court knew about your beating the prince, and news came from the palace. , the crown prince has already come to His Majesty to sue you, His Majesty was furious and said that he would behead you for public display!"

After hearing this, Du He laughed indifferently, threw the tools aside, patted the sawdust on his body, and said, "Father, calm down, calm down, you are also the prime minister of a country, one person is below ten thousand, Why aren't you calm at all...Your energy-raising skills are not good!"

Du Ruhui almost knelt down.

"He'er, what time is it now, you still have the time to tell me how to nourish your spirit... In just a few days, you first escaped marriage and then beat the prince, no matter how tolerant your majesty is, even if I treat Datang Do you think that His Majesty can really forgive you because of your great merit? You hit the crown prince, who is the future emperor... This matter is like the sky falling, it is no small matter, just listen to me, go quickly, otherwise My life is in danger!" Du Ruhui said earnestly.

Du He didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he said, "Father, don't worry, even if His Majesty really wants to chop off my head, I still haven't brought out a life-saving weapon."

Life-saving weapon?

Du Ruhui was taken aback.

Then he looked at Lu Bu who had been silent all the time.

Lu Bu respectfully said: "Master, please rest assured, when the time comes, I will definitely take the young master out of Chang'an City!"

Old Du was dumbfounded, why is this guy as dumbfounded as Du He!
……

The next day, morning morning.

"Your Majesty, the minister's eldest grandson, Sun Wuji, has his own report. Du He, the son of Duke Lai, beat my son and eldest grandson, and he still can't get out of bed now!"

"Minister Fang Xuanling also has this performance. Du He is so bold that he dared to openly commit murder in the Lai State Duke's mansion and beat my son's wife. Please investigate this matter thoroughly, Your Majesty!"

"The minister, Gao Shilian, has a written statement. Please Your Majesty be aware of the details and ask Du He to give my son Gao an explanation!"

The ministers who had a good relationship with Changsun Wuji and others also stood up one after another, accusing Du He of wrongdoing, hoping to be severely punished.

Finally, Wei Zheng stood up and said: "Your Majesty, Du He is so bold that he dared to beat the crown prince. This does not take His Majesty seriously at all. I believe that this crime should be punished. Please order immediately to beat Du He." Entering the heavenly prison, he will be executed immediately, Lai Guogong has no way to teach his son, so he should be punished as a felony."

Li Er heard the words and looked at Du Ruhui.

"Keming, what do you have to say?" Li Er asked.

Du Ruhui shook his head: "Your Majesty, what everyone said is the truth, I have nothing to say."

Du Ruhui persuaded Du He last night, but Du He remained calm all the time.

Seeing that Li Er was about to lose his temper, Du Ruhui didn't know what to do.

Li Er said: "This matter has a great impact, so let me personally come to the trial. Someone, go to Lai Guogong's mansion and bring Du He for questioning."

Before he finished speaking, he heard the eunuch outside shout: "Your Majesty, Du He, the second son of Duke Lai, is asking to see you."

Oh?
Everyone was surprised!
Du He actually still has the courage to come to see His Majesty?
Aren't you afraid of getting your head chopped off?
Li Er was also a little surprised, and said, "Xuan!"

The sound of "Xuan Duhe's audience" sounded outside, and then I saw a young man in coarse clothes with a smile on his face, entering the hall calmly, and he did not forget to greet the people around him with his hands clasped.

"Ah, Mr. Wang, long time no see!"

"Master Zhang, you look good!"

"General Li, I haven't seen you for a few days, you are still so handsome..."

Civil and military officials almost fainted from fright.

This one of the famous Chang'an Four Evils actually used the Tai Chi Hall as a market, which is really shocking.
