God-level Consort of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 845 An Embarrassing Award

The crowd was silent.

After a while, Wang Gui said leisurely: "I take back what I just said, Du He has made such contributions, and he should be named Duke."

Changsun Wuji sighed and nodded.

The others stopped talking too.

Fang Xuanling said: "Since that's the case, let me enter the palace and tell His Majesty about this matter!"

Everyone dispersed.

Fang Xuanling entered the palace, came to the imperial study, and reported the results of the discussion to Li Er.

pat.

When everyone agreed to make Du He the Duke of the state, the memorial in Li's second hand fell to the ground.

He was stunned.

Fang Xuanling was dumbfounded, and hurriedly asked: "Your Majesty, is this reward inappropriate? Why don't I ask all my lords to discuss it carefully?"

Li Er said expressionlessly: "It's not inappropriate for Du He to discover such a fetish as Tudou, and to make him a duke of the state, but... oh, Fang Aiqing, you go down first, I'll think about it later!"

"Yes!"

Fang Xuanling backed away in a daze.

He knew from Li Er's expression that this matter would never be that simple!
But don’t dare to talk nonsense and ask questions!
After Fang Xuanling left, Li Er paced back and forth in the imperial study, like ants on a hot pot.

Zhao Yang asked curiously: "I wonder what His Majesty is worried about?"

Li Er turned around and gave Zhao Yang a hard look: "Get lost!"

Zhao Yang: "..."

Li Er's heart was in a mess.

He remembered what he had promised Du He.

If Du He becomes the Duke of the state, he will marry Princess Runan and Princess Changle to him.

At that time, Li Er felt that this matter was impossible, so he set up written evidence and stamped the emperor's seal.

Who knew that this day would come so soon.

Marrying two princesses is simply an ancient legend.

Don't make Du He the Duke of the state?
I'm afraid that no one in the world will agree!
The easiest way is to seal it up. As for marrying the two princesses, I will never admit it!
But if Du He made the matter of establishing the written evidence public... Du He, bastard, what else can't be done?

For a while, Li Er had no idea.

He doesn't like anyone!
So he beckoned and called Zhao Yang over.

"Go and invite the Supreme Emperor, I have something to teach him!" Li Er ordered.

Zhao Yang replied cautiously: "Qi Your Majesty, the Supreme Emperor and his old man are not in the palace these days!"

Li Er was furious: "Trash!"

So he pulled the hat on Zhao Yang's head, fell to the ground, and stomped hard a few times.

Zhao Yang: "..."

……

Hu County.

The backyard of the county government.

In the past few days, Li Ke, the king of Shu, lived and boarded in the county government office.

The reason is also very simple. Nowadays, potatoes can only be eaten here in the entire Tang Dynasty.

In order to satisfy his desire to eat potatoes, Li Ke directly called Dai Jinyun from the Food Research Institute.

Under Du He's guidance, Dai Jinyun can already cook 32 potato dishes.

Anyway, all kinds of potatoes!

Du He had eaten a lot of potatoes in his previous life, so he naturally didn't think how delicious these potatoes were!
But Li Ke is different from Ma Zhou and others. These guys almost regard potatoes as their staple food.

In the evening of that day, Du He and several people sat around the fire and burned potatoes to eat.

Li Ke said contentedly: "Speaking of which, everything has to return to its true nature. Potatoes are still delicious and authentic, just like that woman. She doesn't wear anything, and she looks the best. Dressed up well." It's gorgeous, but it loses its flavor..."

Everyone: "..."

Ma Zhou said suddenly: "Your Majesty, news has come from Chang'an recently that some people in the court can't sit still and want to make trouble again. Let's close down the pig feed processing factory of the pig tycoon."

"Huh? Why?" Du He was taken aback. "The problem of food shortage can be easily solved once we start planting potatoes. What excuse do these guys have?"

Ma Zhou explained: "Their reason is also simple, that is, potatoes can't be grown for the time being, and there is not much grain in the Guanzhong area. If they continue to let the pig feed processing factory of the pig tycoon produce feed, the grain will be consumed. I'm afraid the people will starve to death before the potatoes are planted!"

Du He smiled helplessly: "These guys are really hard to deal with! Let them go, after a few days, the rumors will be self-defeating!"

Seeing that Du He was confident, everyone was relieved.

……

Zhang House.

Zhang Xuansu gathered many officials from the court and was discussing a major event.

That is to impeach Du He on the basis of the pig feed processing plant of the pig tycoon.

Someone asked: "Master Zhang, even if the Pig Tycoon pig feed processing factory is closed, what good will it do?"

Zhang Xuansu said proudly: "Everyone, you don't know. Now the pig tycoon pig feed processing factory can be described as making money every day. The speed of making money is terrifying. Du He must be reluctant to shut it down, but if His Majesty Is it true that Du He is still not closed?"

Someone laughed and said, "My lords are not unaware that Du He has resisted the decree once or twice, and His Majesty is partial to him, so naturally he will not do anything to him?"

"No," Zhang Xuansu said confidently, "This time, it's different from the past. Right now, His Majesty is still undecided about Du He's conferment. This shows that His Majesty's reward for Du He is still in a difficult decision." At this stage, I am afraid that His Majesty does not want to reward Du He heavily in his heart! If Du He resists the decree at this time, wouldn’t it be an excuse for His Majesty to reduce the reward for Du He? I am afraid that the duke will not be awarded by then. Even Du Xiang has nothing to say!"

Everyone immediately beamed with joy.

"Wonderful!"

"Master Zhang is very calculating!"

"This plan is really great!"

"Du He is dead this time!"

Everyone praised.

So, under the arrangement of Zhang Xuansu, everyone made preparations one after another.

Morning morning the next day.

Zhang Xuansu took the lead and began to impeach Du He again.

The reason for the impeachment is that potatoes have not been grown yet, and the grain stocks in the counties around Guanzhong have been bought by Dream Group. If the pig feed processing factory of the pig tycoon is allowed to continue, disaster will happen.

Therefore, Zhang Xuansu and others proposed to temporarily close the Pig Tycoon pig feed processing plant, and reopen the Pig Tycoon pig feed processing plant when potatoes are actually planted and Datang is no longer short of food.

This proposal was supported by the majority.

Immediately, more than a dozen officials stood up and handed in a memorial to impeach Du He.

Everyone's opinions were unanimously unanimous, that is, His Majesty Li Er should immediately order Du He to close the pig feed processing factory of the pig tycoon immediately.

Zhang Xuansu said: "Your Majesty, Chang'an's grain has been bought by the Dream Group. Now the price of grain has risen by two levels compared to before. The common people can no longer bear it, and there are many complaints. If things go on like this, I'm afraid it will be the common people who will suffer!"

After reading the memorial and listening to the impassioned statements by Zhang Xuansu and others, Du He also felt reasonable.

No matter from which point of view, temporarily shutting down the pig feed processing plant of the pig tycoon now is beneficial and harmless.

Regarding this matter, no one came out to speak for Du He.

"Since it's like..." Li Er pondered, ready to make an order.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the words were ordinary, I saw a figure rushing into the Tai Chi Hall quickly.

It was Li Junxian.

Li Junxian ran into the main hall and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the food is here!"

What?
Everyone was stunned.
