Du Ruhui left from the palace, and went straight back to Du's house after leaving the palace. It's still early now, it's not long after midnight, and it's still very early before noon.
It is actually extremely rare for Du Ruhui to go home so early. When Mrs. Zheng learned that Du Ruhui was back, she went to see Du Ruhui in the study and asked, "Husband, what's going on today, you came back so early."
Du Ruhui said in a small way: "It's nothing, that is, because I have nothing to do, so I came back first."
Zheng said: "Husband, you can't lie to me. Something must have happened, and you came back early. You are the prime minister of the court, so how can you have nothing to do. Tell me, is it related to Erlang? Earlier, Hou Junji brought you The army went to the Western Regions, and Gao Shilian went to the Western Regions to serve as the Jiedu Envoy of the Protectorate of Anxi. Although the concubine is a girl, I know that they are all going for Erlang."
Du Ruhui couldn't help sighing, and said: "I can't hide it from my wife. There was news from the Western Regions that Erlang defeated Hou Junji's army in the first battle and captured Hou Junji alive. Now, the imperial court has decided to send troops to attack Erlang. I leave It's early, so I don't know the details of the follow-up. In general, I guess it should be His Majesty personally driving the conquest."
"ah!"
When Mrs. Zheng heard this, she immediately became worried.
Mrs. Zheng was worried, and paced back and forth, saying, "Husband, what should we do! You know, the emperor personally marched by himself, how could we Erlang resist it. You are Erlang's father, you should think of a way."
Du Ruhui said in relief: "Ma'am, you have to trust Erlang. He has been operating in the Western Regions for so many years, and he has enough preparations. If he doesn't even have any preparations, it is impossible for him to declare war with the court."
After a pause, Du Ruhui continued: "We can't help Erlang now. The only thing we can do to help Erlang is that we don't do too much and don't act blindly. Otherwise, once we make a move, it will easily disrupt Erlang's rhythm. We stay at the mansion. As for Leave the rest alone. From today onwards, we will thank guests behind closed doors."
Mrs. Zheng agreed with her nod.
Although the Zheng family is quite aggressive on weekdays, when encountering major events, he always listens to Du Ruhui.
Du Ruhui continued: "In addition, during this period of time, there may be rumors about Erlang in the city. Some people may say that Erlang has betrayed you. You should pay attention to it in the house. If anyone chews their tongues, they will just mess around with sticks." Beat to death. We have no control over what people outside say, and our family will never allow it."
Zheng said: "My husband, don't worry, I understand."
At this moment, Mrs. Zheng had a solemn expression on her face. Although the Du family's situation would become somewhat difficult because of Du Qi's affairs, Du Ruhui and the Zheng family did not complain at all, but rather felt proud.
Because Du Qi is their son.
Because Du Qi is the best.
"Report!"
Just at this moment, the attendant entered and saluted: "Patriarch, Zhang Jingping asks to see you."
"please!"
Du Ruhui gave an order.
In the early years, Zhang Jingping was the deputy commander of the bad guys and assisted Du Qi in dealing with things. After Du Qi resigned as the bad commander, Zhang Jingping also resigned from office and no longer served as the deputy commander of the bad person. Instead, he won a title and returned to his original job, just being a leader of Chang'an City.
Managed many rangers.
The days are leisurely and joyful.
Not long after, Zhang Jingping entered, bowed and said: "Zhang Jingping, I have met Du Xiang."
Du Ruhui waved his hands and said, "Sit!"
After thanking Zhang Jingping, he sat down. At this time, there were only Du Ruhui and Zhang Jingping in the study, because Mrs. Zheng had already left when she heard about Zhang Jingping's arrival.
Zhang Jingping went straight to the point and said: "Mr. Du, the reason why I came here is because I heard that Hou Junji led troops to the Western Regions, and that Gao Shilian was also serving as the governor of the Western Regions Protectorate. He wanted to evade King Pingxi. And today I got another According to the news, I heard that King Pingxi captured Hou Junji and won a complete victory."
"This matter, I think King Pingxi must be involved in a major event. Even the emperor may personally conquer. Now that King Pingxi is in trouble, I hope to do my best."
"There was no Zhang Jingping today without King Pingxi. I plan to go to the Western Regions to serve under King Pingxi."
Zhang Jingping looked solemn, and continued: "Because of King Pingxi, even though Du Xiang has a prominent official position in the court, he is the prime minister of the court. The problem is, because King Pingxi took down Hou Junji, it is impossible for you to gain the trust you once had. "
"What I mean is, why don't you take your family and leave Chang'an City with me to avoid King Pingxi from being constrained. Even though there are many emperor's eyeliners in Chang'an City, as long as Du Xiang is willing to leave Chang'an, I can arrange it. "
Zhang Jingping said: "In a word, ensure that Du Xiang's family can leave Chang'an safely."
Du Ruhui immediately laughed when he heard it, and said, "Erlang, this boy, what virtue and ability can he get your allegiance. Speaking of which, Erlang just helped out. You Zhang Jingping is capable, and that's yours." matter."
Zhang Jingping said: "Du Xiangmiao, among the rangers, I do have some ability to stir up wind and rain. But I have been a ranger from beginning to end. Because of King Pingxi, I can be respected by others, and I will no longer be stabbed in the back by the people." , On the contrary, countless people are grateful to me. All of these are bestowed by King Pingxi. Without King Pingxi, I would not have these things.¡±
After a pause, Zhang Jingping continued: "The scholar died for his confidant, and King Pingxi helped me in this way. So when King Pingxi is in trouble, I will do my best."
Du Ruhui said: "Erlang is blessed!"
Zhang Jingping smiled, didn't say much, and said again: "Du Xiang, just tell me whether you are willing to leave Chang'an. As long as you are willing to leave Chang'an, I will arrange it immediately and guarantee that you will leave without anyone noticing."
"No!"
Du Ruhui refused: "I stay in Chang'an. Zhang Dalongtou wants to go to the Western Regions, so let's go to the Western Regions."
Zhang Jingping frowned suddenly, and said with a look of incomprehension: "Du Xiang, are you really not going to the Western Regions? You must know that after going to the Western Regions, King Pingxi will not be restrained. Now staying in Chang'an, he is restrained everywhere .Not only will you not gain the emperor's trust, but King Pingxi will also tie his hands."
Du Ruhui said: "I am an official of the Tang Dynasty, how can I go to the Western Regions. If I go, it will be a big joke for the world. It is definitely not appropriate for the prime minister of a country to escape quietly. You don't need to persuade. Your Majesty believes I use me, and I shall serve His Majesty."
After a pause, Du Ruhui continued: "You went to the Western Regions, and when you met Erlang, tell him that you don't have to worry about our safety. The emperor can't do anything to us here."
Zhang Jingping stopped talking, asked some more about Du Qi, and left. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
