God-level Consort of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 854 Duke Hu

In order to ease Li Er's anger, Empress Changsun made a cup of tea herself.

Under the comfort of Empress Changsun.

It took a long while before Li Er regained his composure.

He raised his head slowly, sighed, and said: "Guanyin maidservant, this time, Du He found potatoes and made great contributions. The ministers in the court and China agreed that I should make Du He the Duke of the state, and I think so too. , I don’t know, what do you think?”

Empress Changsun said calmly: "Your Majesty, Du He has made such contributions, and he is a meritorious minister of our Tang Dynasty. I think it is only right for me to make him a Duke!"

There was a bit of bitterness on the corner of Li Er's mouth: "But, you don't know. Back then, I promised Du He that if he could become the Duke of the state, I would marry Yuan Shu and Li Zhi together to him!"

pat.

The teacup in Empress Changsun's hand fell to the floor.

"Your Majesty...why are you so careless about this matter?" Empress Changsun was beyond surprised.

Li Er smiled wryly, "Do you think it's possible for a dandy in Chang'an to become the Duke of the state in two years?"

Du He, two years ago, was one of the four evils in Chang'an.

But in less than two years, relying on all kinds of credits, he became the Duke step by step.

Many people dare not even think about it!

Even "The Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" dare not write like this!

Empress Changsun asked: "Your Majesty, is there any room for change in this matter?"

Li Er shook his head helplessly: "You don't know, I wholeheartedly want to train Du He to become a capable minister of my Tang Dynasty, but that kid thinks about my two daughters, it's really unreasonable!"

Empress Changsun didn't speak.

There is nothing to say about letting Li Yuanshu marry Du He.

But let his precious daughter Li Lizhi also marry Du He, and the two princesses married together.

This matter is indeed too sensational.

Empress Changsun was unwilling in her heart, but she didn't say it out, but said: "Your Majesty, although this matter is related to Lizhi and Yuanshu's marriage, it is already a political matter, and it is inconvenient for the concubine to intervene, so please make up your mind. Bar!"

In the royal family, there is actually no freedom to speak of in all actions and behaviors.

"Hey, I decided to go out of the palace tomorrow to ask my father what he meant!" Li Er said.

Silent all night.

The next morning.

Li Er went out of the palace in low clothes, arrived at Chang'an International Shopping Center, and met Li Yuan.

After seeing each other for a few days, Li Er found that Li Yuan's complexion had improved a lot, and he was full of energy, not as weak as before.

Li Yuan raised his head, saw Li Er, and asked three questions.

"Do you understand astronomy?"

"Look at the moon?"

"Longing for the starry sky?"

These three questions directly confused Li Ergan.

Li Er said with embarrassment: "Father, is this important?"

Li Yuan looked at Li Er contemptuously, and said: "vulgar, don't know astronomy, can't see through the world, don't look at the moon, short-sighted, don't yearn for the starry sky, don't have a big heart... People of the world, it is important to be a king, but you can't do it." Forget about studying!"

Li Er was so dazed, he felt like he hadn't seen him for a while, and he couldn't quite understand what the Supreme Emperor said, but it sounded profound and mysterious, which was admirable.

"Father, my son has been studying astronomy, and yesterday he was discussing astrology with the officials of the Qin Tianjian!" Li Er hurriedly said.

"Pooh!"

Hearing Qin Tianjian, Li Yuan was even more contemptuous, "Those magic sticks, they know shitty astronomy, do they know constellations? Do they know why the moon shines? Do they know why the stars twinkle? Do they know the Big Dipper? Do they know the best viewing positions? Do they know how meteors are produced? Do they know what constellations are like? ... Bah!"

There was already a lot of cold sweat on Li Er's forehead.

He hurriedly said: "Father is teaching you, Father, today, there is something that I want to ask you for advice..."

Li Er briefly explained his reason for coming.

Li Yuan raised his eyelids, and said indifferently, "Are you reluctant to part with the Duke's award, or are you reluctant to part with your two daughters?"

This is very direct.

Li Er was a little speechless and said: "My son, of course I don't want to marry my two daughters to Du He, especially Li Zhi, who has been like a jewel in the palm since she was a child. If she were to marry Du He, wouldn't it be..."

"Ha ha……"

Li Yuan sneered: "Shit, you are reluctant to part with beauty, is it really for her happiness? Princess of the royal family, which one is married, not to win people's hearts? You, you were decisive when you were young, but now you are indecisive. What about it? Two princesses married Du He. This has never happened in ancient times. Why not now? Du He has not yet reached the crown, but has already shown extraordinary talent. For such a person, Yuan Shu and Li Zhi will marry him. It's not a disadvantage, what's more, those two girls have devoted themselves to the Dream Group and don't want to return to the palace, isn't that obvious enough?"

Li Er fell into silence.

After a long while, he raised his head and asked the last question: "Royal father, have you ever thought that Du He will one day be very powerful and will not lose his tail?"

Li Yuan continued to sneer: "Do you think that day will come?"

Li Er nodded and said solemnly: "I understand!"

After finishing speaking, Li Er turned around and left.

……

The next day.

His Majesty Li Er issued the edict.

Du He made great contributions to discovering potatoes and planting potatoes. He was granted the title of Duke of Hu, with three thousand households in the city.

Although many people in the court knew this would be the result, when the imperial decree actually came down, there was still a lot of scolding.

"That dude Du He is arrogant and domineering. How can he become the Duke of the state?"

"It's unreasonable, it's really unreasonable, if you go to the Qinling Mountains to pick up a potato, you can become a prince, then I can pick up a edamame too!"

"The morals of the world have changed! This kind of bastard can be a prince!"

"One sect, two princes, hurry up and find out where the Du family's ancestral grave is buried?"

Some people are jealous.

Someone is envious.

Someone is jealous.

someone...

It's settled.

……

Hu County, county government.

Early in the morning, Du He was called out from the bed, bathed and changed, dressed neatly, and went to the lobby of the county government to receive the order.

When they heard that Du He was named the Duke of Hu, Ma Zhou and the others all showed happy expressions.

In less than two years, from a status of no official and no title, he became the Duke of Hu. This matter will definitely enter the annals of history!
Everyone is honored!

After Zhao Yang finished reading, Du He raised his head and asked, "Director Zhao, what's next?"

"It's gone down there!" Zhao Yang said strangely.

Du He hurried forward, took the imperial decree, and looked carefully, except for rewarding the duke, there was nothing else.

He asked puzzledly: "Does His Majesty have any oral instructions?"

Zhao Yang shook his head: "Your Majesty didn't say anything."

Duhe scratched his head.

Strange!

Your Majesty agreed at the beginning that when I become a Duke, he will marry the two princesses to me.

Don't you want a marriage or something?
Could it be that those who hook up with the sun will renege on their debts?
Hold the grass!

This matter must not be tolerated!
