Chapter 172: Retrieving Du Shaoqing
Li Er glanced at the old minister dissatisfiedly and said coldly: "The King's Daoism is enlightened? Five years ago, I sent someone to ask Goguryeo to demolish Jingguan and send back the corpses of the former Sui Yuan expedition soldiers. How did the King Rongliu do it? Ignore it and build a small Great Wall to guard against our Tang Dynasty. Is this the result of the King's Daoism?
Now, in the battle of Hebei, not only did he recover the domestic losses, but he also forced Goguryeo to ced the city to seek peace for us, demolish the Jingguan and send the corpses back. Let me tell you these achievements, which one can be achieved through the teachings of the kingly way?"
After saying that, Li Er stood up and left, leaving all the civil and military officials in the court looking at each other in a glance.
"Prime Minister Wei, Your Majesty is invited in the Political Affairs Hall." The eunuch came over to find Wei Zheng who was scattered in the dynasty and brought him to the Political Affairs Hall.
In the Political Consultative Hall, Li Er was looking at Wei Zheng's second memorial with great interest and letting Wei Zheng sit aside. Li Er asked with a smile: "These ideas are from that boy Du Shaoqing, Xuancheng, you have always been upright, but you don't have these twists and turns to be careful."
Wei Zheng nodded and smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty is right as expected. I am ashamed. I thought that what I was waiting for was to be dismissed from office, so I blocked King Wu and Doctor Du in Hebei and wanted to take responsibility with all my strength.
Thank you for your kindness and lenientness. Now, the old minister is suspected of being greedy for merit and false as a result.”
Li Er smiled and waved his hand and said, "No need to do this. Ke'er has already given me a reward. As for Boy Du, that guy abducted and smuggled my most beloved daughter. What reward is there to be greater than this?"
Wei Zheng couldn't help but smile, "When talking about this, the old minister was kind to plead for Du Shaoqing. When I was in Hebei, I agreed to him and helped him plead for mercy. I beg Your Majesty to respond to the situation and fulfill his marriage with the princess. This young man is indeed a rare talent, and he is sincere to the princess, and he is a person who can be entrusted."
"Oh? That kid would find help. He knew that the civil and military officials in the court had the courage to persuade him, so he would ask you for help.
Forget it, I won’t make things difficult for them in your face. I want to come here because I want to hear the details of your trip to Hebei, especially the performance of Du Shaoqing and Ke'er."
Wei Zheng understood it. Isn’t this the father-in-law’s inquiry about his son-in-law? It seems that the emperor has agreed in his heart.
Emperor Li Er listened to Wei Zheng's description of everything in detail, his eyes were full of colorful eyes, and he couldn't help but swear. At this time, he felt that he had been in the war for more than ten years before, but he seemed to be as exciting as Hebei's diplomatic negotiations this time.
"Your Majesty, according to the old minister's observation, Du Shaoqing has a unique vision and ambition, and is definitely a great talent to stabilize the country and ensure the country, and is even no less than his father defeating Duke Ming. Therefore, I dared to ask Your Majesty to reuse this person." Wei Zheng commented on Du Shaoqing.
Li Er smiled bitterly and said, "My dear, you have always been cautious and don't judge others very much. It's rare to say that a child is so high!
But you also saw that the boy was hiding at first and was unwilling to show off his feelings. I used tricks many times to make him work hard, but now I'm not sure that he has returned from Hebei and let him escape. Obviously, this is hiding from the court.
I just want to entrust the important task and can’t find anyone, so you have to go there in person and catch that kid from the gentle town of Luoxia Town.”
Wei Zheng's face turned bitter. Why is there such a thing? Du Shaoqing doesn't seem to be a lazy person. He thought he was going home to visit relatives, but now, following His Majesty's tone, he really elopes home and makes a fortune and enjoys happiness?
Let’s talk about Du Shaoqing of Luoxia Town. The familiar town life is so simple and comfortable. Being a shopkeeper and making money easily makes life. Du Shaoqing rarely breathes a sigh of relief.
But on the first night of his return home, he was stunned because he was facing a very embarrassing situation, that is, his wife followed her home and had the problem of staying at night.
Although this is my wife who has been married for five years, she is an ex and has nothing to do with me. When I was in Hebei, I lived in tents and inns. My wife and daughter stayed separately. Now when I got home, it seems that it is hard to say that the two of them would sleep in separate rooms.
Even if the princess doesn't give any advice, Du Shaoqing's mother, Qi, will not follow it.
After dinner, Du Shaoqing sat in the yard and watched the stars. On summer nights, Luoxia Town is in the mountains, so it is still cool.
"Husband, it's time to go back to your room. I have someone prepared hot water. Please come over and serve you in the shower."
A gentle voice sounded beside him, Du Shaoqing was stunned, his heartbeat was obviously faster, and he was about to jump out of his chest, take a shower and serve? Is this really a princess?
"Ahem, no need, no need to serve, I'll do it myself. You've been tired for a whole day, where's the child?" Du Shaoqing hurriedly concealed his embarrassment.
The princess came over and pulled her husband up and explained, "The child was taken to sleep by her mother-in-law. In the past, I always served my husband to take a shower. Why don't I want to do it today? Do you think I'm useless?"
Oh my god, don’t do this. How can I refuse it if I say so wronged? Du Shaoqing was in tears. This wife is gentle, but even a manly time traveler could not withstand this kind of gentle treatment.
"Let's go, just take a shower!" Du Shaoqing pulled his wife and walked towards the bedroom, but he was encouraging himself in his heart. This seemed to be the first time he pulled Mrs.
Close the door and looking at the large wooden basin filled with hot water, the princess began to help her husband with loose clothes. Du Shaoqing looked at his wife whom he was used to, and thought to himself that others didn't feel shy. How could a big man be weaker?
I thought so in my heart, but for the next half hour, Du Shaoqing was in a state of vagueness and vagueness. Is this the supremacy of patriarchy in feudal society? It's simply wonderful.
"Husband, Husband, it's time for me." The princess pushed her husband, who was intoxicated and smiling, almost asleep in the bathtub, shouted, feeling very strange, wasn't it just a shower? It's not before.
"Oh, ah? What did you say? You want to be with me?" Du Shaoqing exclaimed with his mouth wide open.
The princess hurriedly covered the other person's mouth and blushed and whispered: "Speak softly, now we are the only two of us in our family. Do you want to go out if you hear me?"
...
(A harmonious society, five thousand words are omitted here!)
The next morning, Du Shaoqing rarely did not get up early and practice martial arts on time, but until the sun was high, Qi couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so he asked his granddaughter to wake up the couple in the lazy bed. The princess was so angry that her husband became stronger after learning martial arts. Now, she made a fool of herself in front of her mother-in-law.
