Zheng Shi gritted her teeth and said: "Since it was arranged by the emperor, I will go to the palace to see the emperor tomorrow morning. Anyway, now that I am a county lady of the third rank, I can have an audience with the emperor. I would like to ask the emperor, Why, why did you want to throw my son to the place where no shit is in the Western Regions."
The former Zheng family, because of Du Qi, became the fifth-rank county lord, officially stepping into the ranks of imperial wives.
After Li Shimin ascended the throne, he began to reward meritorious deeds.
Du Ruhui had credit for supporting him, so not only Du Ruhui was promoted, but also Zheng's family became the third-rank county lady. This is rare in the imperial court, and his status can be described as honorable.
If she wants to see the emperor, she can.
As soon as Du Qi heard Zheng's words, his face immediately collapsed. He was lifting a rock to shoot himself in the foot. He thought that by shifting the responsibility to Li Shimin, the matter would be over, but he didn't expect that this incident would cause Mrs. Zheng to enter the palace.
This is a bit troublesome.
Du Qi looked at Du Ruhui and signaled Du Ruhui to come forward to deal with it, hoping to ease the situation. However, Du Ruhui's eyes were staggered, he would not lose the big because of a small one, if he angered his old wife, he would not be able to bear the consequences.
As soon as Mrs. Zheng saw the father and son looking at each other, she felt something tricky.
The situation is not right.
Zheng said again: "This time, even if I risk my life, I'm going to question the emperor and ask the emperor to stop me from going to the Western Regions. What are you going to do in such a remote place, a son of a rich family? To expand the territory, Of course there are people from the army. In short, my son is not allowed to go. If the emperor refuses to agree, I will crash and die in the imperial city. I don¡¯t believe it. The emperor really wants you to go.¡±
The wording this time is stronger than before.
Du Qi felt sorry when he heard this.
Zheng can't be fooled by this matter, so he has to tell the truth.
Du Qi said: "Mother, in fact, the matter of going to the Western Regions was not arranged by the emperor. It was my son who volunteered to go to the Western Regions. Therefore, it is useless for you to seek the Emperor."
When Mrs. Zheng heard this, her eyes widened immediately, she looked angry, and said viciously: "Bastard boy, you are going on an expedition, someone fooled your brains, or your brains were kicked by a donkey."
Zheng Shi became angry and glared.
That fierce appearance made Du Ruhui's heart tremble with fright, and he sat aside obediently and did not speak.
The rest of the people also did not speak.
In fact, Zheng's actions, in the view of the Du family, are justified and correct. Well done, going to the Western Regions, where the birds don't shit, is torturing oneself, which is extremely unreasonable.
Du Qi naturally couldn't say that he was dissatisfied with the emperor's robbing of the Du family, and he didn't want to be a hindrance in the country, and he didn't want to be a fat pig in the country, so he went to the Western Regions.
This cannot be said.
Du Qilue thought about it, and then said: "Mother, I went to the Western Regions to do things, but it was actually for our family's sake. Mother, think about it, I am the King of Pingxi now. After arriving in the Western Regions, I took the place outside the sandbar, that is We belong to the Du family. This matter is a good deal. Anyway, your son is now the King of Pingxi by the imperial court, so you can't live up to his name."
When Mrs. Zheng heard this, she didn't care about it at all, and said, "No matter how good the Western Regions are, it would be great to have Chang'an. In Chang'an, that is the home and the root. I don't care. You can't go anywhere, just in Chang'an."
Du Qi suddenly felt dizzy.
It's really hard to persuade my old lady to kiss here!
Rao is full of wit and tricks, but his old mother admits to death, and it is not easy to persuade, so after thinking about it for a while, Du Qi said: "Mother, going to the Western Regions is already a fixed matter, and there is no room for relaxation. This matter, Don't try to persuade me. Even if you make trouble with His Majesty, it won't change. And if you make trouble with His Majesty, it will be your son and me who will suffer in the end."
"you¡¡"
When Mrs. Zheng heard this, tears came to her eyes.
The mother is worried when the son travels thousands of miles.
It's nothing more than Du Qi's expedition. It's a long journey to the Western Regions, and I don't know what the situation is. Zheng's heart, how can he not be worried. Even when Du Qi went to the Turks, the Zheng family often suffered from insomnia and was always worried about Du Qi's safety. Now that Du Qi went to the Western Regions, the Zheng family was even more worried.
Du Qi sighed and said: "Mother, it is a big matter for the Du family that my son is going to the Western Regions, so don't cry."
Du Ruhui said in a deep voice: "Okay, don't cry. This matter has already been settled, and it is impossible to reverse it. I will explain the specific reasons to you."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Zheng thought about Du Ruhui's words, so she stopped talking.
?The reunion of the Japanese family should be festive.
Today, the atmosphere is dignified.
The expressions on each face were quite dignified.
The family banquet ended just like that, Du Qi took Li Yanyun and Qian Xue to the backyard to express their lovesickness, and Du Ruhui and Zheng Shi also returned to their own yard.
Mrs. Zheng stared at Du Ruhui, snorted and said, "You old bastard, why did Erlang go to the Western Regions?"
Her eyes are fierce.
Just like a tigress protecting a calf.
When Du Ruhui saw this, his heart trembled with fright. Even though he was in the court, he was an important minister of the court, who could decide the lives of countless people with a single word, but facing his old wife, he still felt a little flustered from the bottom of his heart.
Du Ruhui explained: "Ma'am, the reason why Erlang went to the Western Regions is very simple. It was because when he went to the Turks, the court collected money from our family, and Erlang took millions of guan as military salary."
"Although Your Majesty didn't come forward about this matter, it was a run on by you and me, the important ministers in the court. In the end, I had to accept this errand. In view of this matter, Erlang thinks that our Du family can't be so often treated like this." Robbery', that's why Erlang has this layout, going to the Western Regions to open up the situation."
"Erlang's plan should be that after establishing a foothold in the Western Regions, the center of commerce will gradually shift to the Western Regions."
"This is Erlang's consideration."
"That's why Erlang made the request, please go to the Western Regions."
Du Ruhui said: "Earlier when he was in the court, Erlang didn't propose to go directly to the Western Regions. He went to the Western Regions to serve as a county magistrate and to open up trade routes as an excuse. That's why His Majesty ordered Erlang to be the King of Pingxi, and now we are here. s arrangement."
After hearing this, Mrs. Zheng couldn't help but sigh.
Every family has its cupboard.
It stands to reason that a wealthy family like the Du family has no worries about food and clothing, but they also have worries.
Mrs. Zheng thought about it, then suddenly looked at Du Ruhui, and snorted, "Erlang is not to blame for doing this. If you are stronger, or pretend to be deaf and dumb, will it be Erlang's turn to be 'robbed' of money? The matter was caused by you. You are an old thing, really useless, you can't even protect your son. "
Du Ruhui smiled awkwardly when he heard the words.
How old is he.
It's all old stuff!
But Zheng's words did touch on Du Ruhui's weakness, he did not protect his son.
The heart is quite lost.
His expression was also a bit more lonely.
Zheng Shi and Du Ruhui were an old couple for decades, and she could understand it with just one look from Du Ruhui. Seeing Du Ruhui's lonely expression, her heart skipped a beat. Her love for her son hurt her own man all at once.
Mrs. Zheng walked up to Du Ruhui, kneaded Du Ruhui's back, and said with a smile: "Husband, you know the status of a concubine, so I don't mean to criticize you, I just can't control my mouth."
"As for Erlang, children and grandchildren have their own blessings."
"Erlang is going to the Western Regions, let him go, you can't control it, let alone control it."
"Besides, with Erlang's meritorious service, now he has all the official positions above you. How can you protect him? You can't restrain him at all. How can you talk about protection."
Mrs. Zheng continued: "Besides, Erlang has always been a child with his own opinions. It is impossible for anyone to persuade him to decide things. In this regard, this brat is just like you. He has decided things. Nine cows can't be pulled back."
Du Ruhui smiled lightly and said, "Understood, don't worry, I'm fine."
The husband and wife were talking, and the atmosphere became harmonious. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
