In the house, the sound of a pin dropping could be heard.
The seven High Dukes stood in two rows and stared at Du Ruhui, who was sitting on the sickbed with a thin blanket draped over his shoulders.
Du Ruhui felt a headache coming on. What were these people doing here? Fang Xuanling was holding a brown wooden box in his arms. It looked very high-end, but it didn't seem to contain any expensive medicinal herbs. Were they really just here to see him? If there's anything else, say something.
The seven High Dukes stood rooted to the ground, their heads aching even more than his.
They couldn't figure out if Du Ruhui knew what had happened in the imperial court.
With Du Ruhui's temper, he would at least vomit blood if he said he knew. But if he said he didn't know, why didn't he ask us?
"This group of people is quite interesting."
Du He hid outside the house and looked at the situation inside with interest.
"Ahem-"
Fang Xuanling couldn't hold it in anymore. He smiled and asked,""Brother Keming, how have you been?”
"What do you think?" Du Ruhui's eyes narrowed.”
Fang Xuanling couldn't help but blush. Looking at Du Ruhui's sickly appearance, he coughed lightly and said,""You have to rest in peace. His Majesty still needs you to manage the government, and the Great Tang needs a minister like you even more.”
"Cough, cough, cough-"
Du Ruhui coughed a few times and looked mockingly at the seven High Dukes. He laughed and said,"My fellow colleagues, are you really here today just to visit me? Is there anything else?"
"The most important thing is naturally to visit brother Keming.”
Cheng Yaojin couldn't hold it in anymore. He grinned and asked tentatively,"Of course, there is another matter. Have you heard about what happened in the court today?”
"When my son returned, he already informed me.”
Du Ruhui nodded slightly and looked at everyone's relieved expressions. He couldn't help but feel touched. It turned out that they had come here under the guise of visiting him, but in fact, they knew that his son had resigned from office and came to the mansion to comfort him. He couldn't help but sigh,
"My son Du He was indeed too rash in today's matter. However, as a father, this old man can also understand his feelings. If it were this old man, I would also do the same in the court today.”
"Hiss-"
The seven High Dukes gasped and looked at Du Ruhui in shock, as if they had just gotten to know him. Du Ruhui, have you lost your mind? Your son has slandered the Emperor. Could it be that you have long wanted to slandered the Emperor?
"Brother Keming, you really are a man of character!”
"I admire you!" Cheng Yaojin said with admiration.!”
"If it were you, you would have done the same.”
Du Ruhui looked at him in surprise and said matter-of-factly.
In his opinion, Du He had offended Wei Zheng and would definitely not have a good life in the Imperial Censorate. Instead of doing so, it was better to transfer her to another position. This way, it would be easier for both of them. Moreover, no matter who it was, they would choose to take a step back. Especially a bold and cautious person like Cheng Yaojin, he would not choose to fight head-on.
What do you mean? In your heart, I, Old Cheng, am also the kind of person who is bold enough to curse the emperor? Cheng Yaojin was shocked. When he saw the shocked gazes of the other High Dukes, he quickly waved his hand and denied in a resolute tone,"Brother Keming, you think too highly of me. I wouldn't dare to do that!”
"What's there to be afraid of?"
"Such a narrow-minded person has appeared in the Imperial Court. Don't even mention this old man, even my colleagues can't tolerate it," Du Ruhui said in puzzlement.”
Fang Xuanling's mouth twitched as he said meaningfully,""As the saying goes, endure for a while and everything will be calm. Take a step back and the world will be wide. It's better to swallow your anger!”
"Yeah, I have to endure it!"
"I think it's better to endure it!”
Zhangsun Wuji, Yuchi Jingde, Li Ji, Qin Qiong, and Cheng Yaojin looked at each other, their faces flushed red as they forced a smile.
Outside the door, Du He suppressed her laughter and listened to the conversation between her father and the seven High Dukes. She rubbed her chin and muttered to herself. Could it be that this was the legendary saying of a donkey's lips not matching a horse's mouth?
Bang!
In the room, Du Ruhui was a little angry. He slapped the sickbed and shouted angrily,"Fellow colleagues, how can you think this way? Do you mean that my son is wrong? That Wei Zheng is so arrogant and bullied my son. So what if my son is dismissed? Did he have to continue being the censor and suffer Wei Zheng's anger?”
"You're right."
Fang Xuanling sighed and said," Wei Zheng indeed had the suspicion of suppressing Du He. However, Du He was also involved in Wei Zheng's matter. She was beaten twenty times by His Majesty and went back to bed to recuperate."”
Du Ruhui was stunned. This was a little different from what he knew.
At this moment, Cheng Yaojin couldn't help but add,""Moreover, your second son did not lose his position as an imperial censor because of this matter. It was because Du He had consulted the emperor. Because of this, the emperor said in front of all the civil and military officials that he would fast for a day to reflect on himself!”
Du Ruhui was speechless.
Zhangsun Wuji frowned at Cheng Yaojin and kindly reminded him,""Brother Zhijie, you're wrong about this sentence. How could Du He only participate in one book? He clearly participated in His Majesty's two books, and he even succeeded in both!”
Du Ruhui was speechless.”
Cheng Yaojin patted his forehead and laughed."Yes, yes, yes, there are two books. Look at my memory. Brother Keming, you don't know that Du He was in the imperial court today..."
Cheng Yaojin paused and felt like he couldn't continue.
The seven High Dukes stared at Du Ruhui's darkening face and remained silent. Cold sweat broke out on their foreheads. Could it be that Du Ruhui did not know what had happened in the Imperial Court? Didn't that mean that they had said something wrong?
