Although Du Qi said that he had left Prince Qin's Mansion, in fact, he did not return to Du's house immediately. He first went to a restaurant, then walked to Xinhua Bookstore and tea shop, and only returned to Du's house after walking through the three places.
Today's weather is extremely cold.
After Du Qi walked around, he felt a little cold. It's just that when he returned to Du's house, it was almost noon, and Liu Jian was busy processing the ingredients for noon.
While Du Qi was waiting for lunch, Mrs. Zheng arranged for someone to come and call Du Qi over.
Du Qi entered the room with a happy expression on his face. The joy on her face was beyond words, especially when she was awarded the title of Wupin County Lord.
When Mrs. Zheng saw Du Qi coming, she quickly asked Du Qi to sit down, and said, "Erlang, you have already agreed to the marriage of Zhaojun Wang's family. After the mother and Princess Qin have made up their minds, they have no objection."
"Zhao County King Li Xiaogong is a hot and important minister in the court. Moreover, Zhao County King himself is also a member of King Qin. It is not bad to marry the Zhao County King's family."
"My mother has actually seen this little girl, Yanyun. She is weird and elf, and she is very smart."
Mrs. Zheng said with a smile: "This daughter-in-law, my mother has confirmed it. You make an appointment first, and after you become an adult, you will marry Yanyun."
Du Qi listened to Zheng Shi's joyful words, and did not intervene wisely.
When it comes to talking about it, it's different.
When the time comes, talk endlessly.
After Mrs. Zheng had a long conversation, Du Qi said: "Mother, you see that my son is a little tired after running all morning. The mother can handle the marriage, and the son has no objection. The son has to go back to prepare. The manuscript has to go to the palace in the afternoon."
"go Go!"
When Mrs. Zheng heard that her son had something to do, she didn't stop her.
In her heart, her son comes first.
Du Qi let out a long sigh of relief. Facing his mother's nagging, he had no choice but to let Mrs. Zheng speak. So, I simply found a reason to leave.
Du Qi returned to his yard, instead of writing a book, he took a nap first. In this cold weather, a warm bed is the most comfortable place. After Du Qi woke up, he calmly changed his clothes and entered the palace.
This time when entering the palace, Du Qi brought the "Tao Te Ching". Originally, Du Qi didn't intend to send the "Tao Te Ching" to the palace immediately, but thinking about this volume of "Tao Te Ching", it is better to send it to the palace than to keep it.
After Du Qi entered the palace, he met Li Yuan and handed him the latest content on a daily basis.
After Li Yuan finished reading all the content and listening to Li Yuan's praise, Du Qi changed the subject and said, "Your Majesty, I have one more thing to present to Your Majesty when I enter the palace today. Speaking of which, it's also luck. I only got it yesterday." of."
Li Yuan smiled and said: "You, Du Erlang, are extremely rich. If the items you donate don't have a certain value, I won't accept them."
Du Qi said: "Your Majesty, although I have some small money, it is all external possessions and not worth mentioning. The items that I donate cannot be measured by money."
After hearing this, Li Yuan immediately became interested.
It cannot be measured by money.
So, what is it?
Li Yuan had an expectant look on his face, and said, "Whatever you want to offer, just hand it over."
"Bring it in!"
Du Qi gave an order.
Following Du Qi's instructions, at the gate of the main hall, a young eunuch entered with a brocade box in his hand. Before entering the palace, Du Qi put the bamboo slips of "Tao Te Ching" in a brocade box, and he temporarily handed them to the little eunuch after entering the palace.
After all, entering the hall with a brocade box is unavoidably a little unsightly.
Du Qi took the brocade box from the young eunuch, held it in his hands, and said, "Please read it, Your Majesty!"
Li Yuan was very curious.
After Xiao Li took it over, Li Yuan quickly opened it, and saw the bamboo slips of "Tao Te Ching" in the box. It's just that the bamboo slips are covered with high-quality silk cloth, so the contents cannot be seen.
Li Yuan pushed aside the silk cloth and took out the bamboo slips.
When Li Yuan saw the words "Tao Te Ching" at the top of the bamboo slips, he was not surprised at all, because such famous classics as "Tao Te Ching" are actually everywhere.
It's just that when Li Yuan saw the end, saw the seal, and the final signature, a bright smile suddenly appeared on the old face.
Li Yuan claimed that his ancestors came from Lao Tzu. In fact, this is what Li Yuan himself said, and he was flaunting the identity of the Li family. There's no evidence for this at all. In other words, they are the royal family. Since they have said so, no one dares to object.
But with the "Tao De Jing"?It's different.
Li Yuan has eyesight. After carefully reading the bamboo slips, it is obvious that the bamboo slips and the engravings on the bamboo slips are old, at least hundreds of years old. Therefore, whether the bamboo slips of the "Tao Te Ching" were fabricated by the ancients or are authentic works, from Li Yuan's point of view, this is the original work.
Du Qi's "Tao Te Ching" on the ground is equivalent to allowing Li Yuan to prove the origin of the Li family.
In an instant, Li Yuan thought about the arrangements for various things.
Li Yuandao: "Erlang, where did you find this "Tao Te Ching"?"
Du Qi replied: "Reporting to Your Majesty, this excerpt of "Tao Te Ching" is a book that Xinhua Wenxuan bought together when he came to collect ancient books with money. He sent it to me last night, so I will give it to Your Majesty today. delivered."
Li Yuan said: "Okay, okay, good boy."
At this moment, Li Yuan felt very relieved.
Li Yuandao: "Erlang, what reward do you want, just say it, I will agree."
Du Qi could feel Li Yuan's joy. He said: "Your Majesty takes care of me everywhere. If it wasn't for Your Majesty's care, I'm afraid I would have been a pile of dead bones. Your Majesty has treated me as much as a mountain. I was lucky enough to get a volume of "Tao Te Ching" and dedicate it to Your Majesty. It¡¯s a matter of course and doesn¡¯t need any rewards.¡±
Li Yuan said: "You boy, it's always like this."
Du Qi has never taken credit for it, which is why Li Yuan admired Du Qi even more. He thought about it for a while, and suddenly he made up his mind, and said, "Erlang, you ordered the people below to shut up about the "Tao Te Ching" and not to talk about it again. As for your reward, you have no desires or desires." , leave it to me to arrange."
Du Qidao: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, before I entered the palace, I had already ordered the money to come back, so that he would not talk about the "Tao Te Ching", and let him forget about it. So, just don't worry, Your Majesty."
Li Yuan said: "That's good."
Du Qi didn't stay any longer, turned around and left.
Li Yuan looked at Xiao Li and asked Xiao Li to call Pei Ji, Xiao Yu, Chen Shuda and Feng Deyi to discuss matters. After the four people entered the salute, they took their seats. Li Yuan said, "How is your discussion going on about the candidate for the county magistrate of Chang'an?"
Feng Deyi took the initiative and said: "Your Majesty, now the East Palace has recommended a candidate. This person's name is Cui Ye, who comes from the Cui family of Qinghe. Cui Ye originally worked in the East Palace. He is capable and knows how to advance and retreat. He is not a bad person. "
Li Yuan nodded, looked at Pei Ji and the others, and said, "How many of you, do you have other candidates?" (Remember the website website: www.hlnovel.com
