God-level Consort of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 50
In the Tai Chi Hall, not only the civil and military ministers, but also Li Er was full of doubts.

"Master Kong, please tell me something! I will definitely satisfy you." Li Er said.

Kong Yingda scanned the surrounding ministers, and finally his eyes fell on Du Ruhui.

He only heard him speak slowly: "Your Majesty, I heard that Du He, the son of Lord Lai, has been selling revolving wooden chairs in Chang'an City these days. Is there such a thing?"

Li Er nodded, pointed to the rotating wooden chair under his buttocks, and said, "That's right, this rotating wooden chair was developed by Du He himself. I have tried it for a long time, and it is indeed very convenient and easy to use."

Ever since he sat on the rotating wooden chair, Li Er felt that his legs didn't hurt anymore, his waist didn't hurt anymore, and he felt more confident when he spoke.

But now there is only such a chair, and it is brought to the Tai Chi Hall when going to court, and it is usually placed in the Imperial Study Room.

Li Er added: "Master Kong, you are old, and your knees must also often hurt. This rotating wooden chair is just right for you. I suggest that you also go to Datang Furniture Factory and order a batch of rotating wooden chairs from Du He." A wooden chair is it!"

The majestic emperor actually advertised to Du He himself.

The ministers were all shocked!
Seeing this, Kong Yingda said with a serious face: "Think twice, Your Majesty. Since the Zhou Dynasty, people in the Central Plains have practiced the ceremony of sitting upright. Until the introduction of the bed and chairs in the Han Dynasty, the people at the bottom began to abandon the ceremony of sitting upright. I haven’t forgotten this etiquette, sitting upright until today is still the etiquette of the Central Plains. Now Du He makes a rotating wooden chair. It sounds like it has nothing to do with the Hu chair, but I think it’s still a Hu chair. If you let the Hu chair be promoted, One day, the whole world will no longer have the ceremony of sitting upright, so wouldn’t we be completely lost in the Central Plains? What’s the difference between officials in the Central Plains and barbarians who drink blood like hair?”

Kong Yingda's words were like a big stone thrown into a calm lake, causing huge waves.

Immediately, several people jumped out to agree with his proposal.

"Master Kong is right. I, Tang Dynasty, disdain to work with barbarians. This barbarian chair must not be promoted!"

"Your Majesty, please think twice, once this precedent is set, won't it make people think that our Han family culture is willing to degenerate?"

"Your Majesty, please issue an order immediately to punish Du He and make him stop producing rotating wooden chairs."

For a while, there was a lot of discussion.

There are quite a few supporters of Kong Yingda.

Most of these people are orthodox Confucian children.

On the contrary, a group of veterans who followed Li Er to conquer the world did not speak.

At this time, Cheng Yaojin couldn't stand it anymore, stood up and said: "Master Kong, you are scaremongering. This rotating wooden chair was made by Du He himself. What does it have to do with the Hu chair? My old Cheng also sat on the Hu chair. , that thing can't compare with the rotating wooden chair at all!"

"I have also experienced this rotating wooden chair, it is very comfortable! Why should it be banned?"

"I think Master Kong is serious. He is just sitting on a rotating wooden chair. He will never reach the point of abandoning the etiquette of the Central Plains!"

As soon as Cheng Yaojin started, many supporters of Du He stood up.

Immediately, the court hall became noisy and noisy like the vegetable market.

Li Er sat on the top, couldn't stand it anymore, stood up, shook his sleeves, and said: "There is no need to discuss this matter again. I have always used reason to convince people in governing the country. It is really a shame to prohibit Du He from producing rotating wooden chairs like this." Unreasonable, if Master Kong thinks it is reasonable, go to Du He to argue, I don't want to take care of this matter!"

If Li Er hadn't personally experienced the various benefits of the rotating wooden chair, he might have supported the proposal of Kong Yingda and others.

But he is already used to the rotating wooden chair, and he can't even do without it. If the production and sale of the rotating wooden chair are banned at this time, how can he use the rotating wooden chair in the future?
Zhao Yang, the servant next to him, hastily shouted, "Retire!"

Ministers filed out of the Tai Chi Hall.

Cheng Yaojin and others left cursing.

Many civil servants gathered around Kong Yingda.

"Master Kong, what should I do?"

"Your Majesty doesn't even want to take care of this matter, isn't this clearly indulging Du He?"

"We...we must not just sit idly by, we must guard our Confucian etiquette and morality!"

A group of people were noisy, all waiting for Kong Yingda to speak.

Kong Yingda turned around, looked at the back of Li Er leaving the Tai Chi Hall, gritted his teeth and said, "We will do our best to defend Confucian etiquette. You gentlemen will follow me to Laiguo's mansion. Today, I must ask Du He to give an explanation." , otherwise, that rotating wooden chair can never be produced and sold again!"

"As it should be!"

"Don't dare to disobey!"

Led by Kong Yingda, even Pei Ju and others also participated, a group of people left the imperial city in a mighty way and headed straight for Lai Guogong's mansion.

Not long after, a group of people came to the gate of Lai Guogong's mansion.

Old Fu rushed out to greet him, but he was shocked.

He knew all of these people, they were all dignified figures in the court, they usually looked gentle and refined, but at this moment, they looked fierce and angry.

"Oh, my lords, I'm looking for my lord, who should be dealing with business in the imperial city, but he hasn't returned yet!" Old Fu said cautiously.

Kong Yingda stroked his beard, with an inscrutable look: "I didn't come to look for Du Xiang, but today, I came to look for Du He, so hurry up and let Du He speak!"

Old Fu was taken aback.

How can this posture be the same as that of the two armies?
Seeing that the situation was not good, he rushed to the furniture factory.

"Young Master, Master, something has happened. Kong Yingda led a group of people to kill us in front of our house aggressively. He called you by name and asked you to go out and talk. I don't think this is a good thing. You should hide first and let me deal with them! "Old Fu panted heavily and said.

Du He dropped the work in his hand and asked, "Kong Yingda? Isn't that the prince's teacher? Why does he want me?"

Old Fu shook his head.

Du He called Lu Bu to go out, but was suddenly stopped by Old Fu: "Master, you can't go, I don't think those people are kind, and they are all respectable people, if there is a conflict, No matter who is hurt, it will be difficult to explain it when the time comes!"

"Let's go, who dares to be presumptuous in front of this young master's mansion. I want to see what these guys want to do!"

Not long after, Du He came to the door.

When I saw it suddenly, I was also shocked.

There were more than 20 people, all of whom were ministers of the DPRK and China, and all of them stared at him aggressively.

Some of them were actually close to Du Ruhui in normal times.

Du He stepped forward, looked at Kong Yingda with a smile, and said, "Oh, isn't this Master Kong? Why, you came to buy the rotating wooden chair yourself. You see how old you are, and you even made a trip in person to let a Wouldn’t it be fine if someone came to make an appointment?”

Du He had long noticed that something was wrong with the atmosphere at the scene, but he didn't care at all, and instead greeted him happily.

Seeing this, Kong Yingda became short of breath with anger.

It is said that Du He is one of the four evils in Chang'an, seeing him today, he really deserves his reputation!
