"Du He, zhen counts you formidable!"
Li Er flew into a rage out of humiliation and said," But I'm telling you, I will never allow you to attend the Empress 'funeral. Isn't it just a day of fasting? So what if you want me to fast for three days, five days, or ten days? I'll acknowledge your attendance!" Only your participation in the Empress's memorial, I will never agree!”
"Second brother, it's this concubine's fault, how can I let second brother be implicated!”
Empress Zhangsun was moved by his words. She raised her wrist to wipe her tears and said in a choked voice,""Moreover, Second Brother is the Emperor of the Tang Empire. If he falls sick because of this, who will govern the world? I'm willing to fast for a day to punish myself!"
"How can that be!"
Li Er pulled a long face and held her hand in heartache."The root of your illness from a few years ago has not been completely cured. What if you fast for another day and your illness increases?”
"I'll be fine," Empress Zhangsun said softly.”
Yo ho, why are you two still showing off your love? Du He grinned and whispered," I'm the one who's participating in this. Why are you guys shirking? Why don't you just accept your punishment together and punish yourselves…"
Du He's voice was very soft, but the Yin and Yang Palace was completely silent. His whisper was heard by Li Er and Empress Zhangsun, and their faces darkened with anger.
Li Er coughed lightly and glared at Du He."Du He, since you have participated in the memorial today, this one and the Empress will admit it. From today onwards, this one will fast for another day. The Empress is sick, so she will fast. That's all. If you are still not convinced, this one will not forgive you!”
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Du He was happy. You just have to admit that you are ginseng. This way, I will be considered to have exceeded the mission given by the system. As for your self-punishment, it doesn't matter."With a wise ruler and a virtuous empress, the Great Tang will definitely welcome a golden age!”
"With an honest official like you, why can't the Great Tang be prosperous?”
Li Er saw that Du He didn't care and immediately heaved a sigh of relief. He nodded slightly and said half-truthfully. The resentment that had risen in his heart towards Du He had also dissipated a lot. He pondered for a while and said,"Men!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the old eunuch Wei Zhongxian walked in with his head lowered and his back hunched. His face was pale. He had heard all the refutations and arguments in the hall just now and was almost scared out of his wits.
The old eunuch glanced at the indifferent Du He from the corner of his eye and felt a wave of admiration. Since the founding of the Great Tang, this was the first censor who dared to visit the emperor and empress on the same day!
"Your Majesty!" The old eunuch bowed.
"Prepare the decree!"
Li Er said in a deep voice," Du He has made a contribution to the memorial. He will be rewarded with 500 pieces of silk and 200,000 yuan. I heard that he has 500 imperial guards under him, but he has no official residence. I will also reward him with an official residence in Chang 'an. I will give him the name of the Imperial Governor's Mansion!"”
As he spoke, he glanced at Li He, who was still pretending to faint, and continued,""Li He was hurt by Princess Changle without any complaints. I sympathize with him. From today onwards, I will grant him the title of Chief Secretary of the Imperial Guards, in charge of the Imperial Guards Seal, and assist Du He!”
Li He didn't dare to pretend to be unconscious anymore. His whole body quivered and his face was filled with excitement. He didn't expect that he would be able to benefit from this disaster. He hurriedly kowtowed excitedly and said,"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
However, Du He was not happy. Since he was so generous, why didn't he give out the robes and sabers of the imperial guards? He asked,
"Your Majesty, what about the robes and sabers of the imperial guards? Today, I heard that the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Revenue did not know what the imperial edict said. If that was the case, where did the robes and sabers of the imperial guards come from?”
"Think of a way yourself."
Li Er was happy. This was the trap he had dug for Du He. He didn't expect it to be used at this time. He said indifferently,
"I've made it clear that you can't sell the mansion of the Governor's Mansion for money to buy the clothes and sabers of the Governor's Guards. You can't use the 200,000 yuan to buy them. If I find out that you used these two items to buy equipment for the Governor's Guards, I will take back all these rewards!”
Hearing this, Li He's expression twisted. He tilted his head and looked at Du He with a bitter expression. If this was the case, the Imperial Guard would not live up to its name!
"Du He understands!"
Du He said with a faint smile.
No one knew that he had the Imperial Censor System, and no one knew that the system's reward was 500 sets of equipment for the Imperial Guards.
Thinking of this, Du He couldn't help but feel a hint of anticipation. The system's products were definitely of the best quality. She wondered what kind of good thing the Imperial Censor System would give as a reward this time!
