Why are you still here? All the officials looked at Du He in shock.
The corner of Wei Zheng's mouth twitched a few times as he looked at Du He in disbelief. He finally understood one thing. This Second Young Master of the Du family had decided to join Li Er since the beginning of the court!
It was not just him. All the old foxes in the court were in disbelief. On the first day of the morning court session, he had already decided to consult Li Er. In the history of thousands of years, this was the first time such a thing had happened. Did this kid not want to live?
"Du He, do you really think that I don't dare to kill you?”
Li Er was so angry that his veins were bulging. He was after his reputation, but there were people who repeatedly challenged the imperial power, which was touching his bottom line. He could tolerate it the first time, which showed that he was magnanimous. He would never allow others to take an inch after taking an inch, even if it was the son of a meritorious minister!
The round-faced man with charcoal skin was also anxious. He walked out and cupped his fists."I hope Your Majesty will forgive me. Du He is young and doesn't know the rules of the court. I hope Your Majesty won't take what I said to heart.”
"Du He, you may leave."
Li Er let out a sigh of relief. He held back his anger and shook his hand. His tone was unquestionable."Zhen will let bygones be bygones since you are Du Ruhui's son. From today onwards, you don't have to be a censor anymore. Go back and accompany your father!”
"Your Majesty, Du He's words today must be said.”
"Even if I die, I have to say it!" Du He said firmly.”
This, this is a donkey's temper? Why was he behaving like his father, Du Ruhui? Cheng Yaojin kept winking at him, and Fang Xuanling was also anxious. Looking at Li Er's face that was already as black as charcoal, Du He was probably going to suffer.
"Speak, Zhen allows you to speak!"
Li Er was so angry that he laughed.”
"Third, Your Majesty's sins!”
Du He's voice was loud and clear." Your Majesty's crime is that you did not care about the meritorious officials. My father, Du Ruhui, met Your Majesty in his twilight years. Do you still remember how you dealt with him at that time?”
Li Er was stunned.
This, this was to fight against his father?
In an instant, the anger in Li Er's heart instantly disappeared. He couldn't help but re-evaluate Du He. If it was the first time he was slandered, he could appear to be magnanimous and let bygones be bygones. But this second time, even if he was furious, he had nowhere to vent because Du He was slandering him for his father's sake, for filial piety.
Li Er remembered that a few days ago, Du Ruhui came to Taiji Palace with a walking stick and cried bitterly in front of him. He said that he did not have long to live, but his son Du He was young and wanted him to enter the temple. He did not ask for wealth, but only to contribute a small amount of strength.
At that time, Li Er also felt sad, so he made an exception and agreed to let Du He be an Imperial Censor. Du Ruhui was grateful, and then he left alone with his walking stick. At that time, Li Er had too many things to deal with, so he let the Imperial Palace servants help him leave.
Thinking about it now, Li Er's eyes reddened. He couldn't help but feel vexed. How could he put on the airs of an emperor back then? He clearly knew that Du Ruhui didn't have many days left to live. He clearly knew that he had become like this because he had devoted himself to him all these years. But in the end, he had let the palace servants help him leave?
At this time, Du He did not look at the shocked expressions of the others and retracted her smile.
Du He very seriously took off the Xie Zhi crown on her head, took off her crimson official robe, and took off her official boots. Then, she bowed to the end and asked in a questioning tone,"Your Majesty, as the son of the third ginseng, Du He asks Your Majesty to speak!”
Li Er opened his mouth, but found that the words he wanted to say were stuck in his throat and could not be spat out. He could only nod silently and let him continue.
Du He glanced at the court officials, lowered her head, and said in a deep voice,""My father, Du Ruhui, is over forty years old. He fell ill due to overwork and was bedridden at home. That day, my father dragged his sick body to seek an official position for his son. Today, Du He entered the court because of his father's merit. Everyone in Chang 'an thinks that Du He is a son who relies on his father to be noble, but who knows that his son's heart is uneasy?”
"I am indeed young, only fourteen years old. However, I also know that a person should not judge benevolence by nobility or inferiority, righteousness by superiority or inferiority, etiquette by fatness or thinness, wisdom by beauty or ugliness, filial piety by wealth or poverty. Today, Du He is the Imperial Censor, but the Imperial Censor cannot tolerate her. That's fine, I only do my duty. But now, I ask Your Majesty..."
"What crime did my father commit?" Du He's eyes were slightly red.”
Li Er was silent for a while before he said in a hoarse voice,""Your father is not guilty, it is my fault.”
"This minister's third adviser, since Your Majesty has listened, this minister's censor has no regrets.”
Du He took a deep breath and immediately bowed."I accept my punishment. Farewell, Your Majesty."
After saying that, Du He stepped on his white shoes and socks and turned around to leave without looking back. When he went to court, he wore a Xie Zhi crown on his head, a fifth-grade crimson official robe, a jade board in his hand, and official boots on his feet. When he left, he was alone, but he seemed especially magnanimous.
The hall was completely silent.
A heavy pressure weighed down on the hearts of all the officials, causing them to not even dare to breathe loudly.
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing how things had developed to this point. They felt even more incredulous. This, this f * cking thing, the emperor was involved and even succeeded, but the result was only to lose his official position?
And looking at Li Er's expression, it seemed that he was not happy about his resignation.
All the civil and military officials in the court carefully looked at Li Er, whose expression was uncertain, and secretly sighed that accompanying the emperor was like accompanying a tiger. At this moment, they heard a bang, and everyone was shocked.
Li Er kicked the dragon table in front of him and stood up with a livid face. He suddenly waved his sleeves and said angrily,"Fang Xuanling, did I ever say that Du He should resign?”
He definitely said it! Fang Xuanling cursed silently. However, looking at Li Er's expression, it was obvious that he was regretting what he had just said. Otherwise, he would not have asked him. He coughed lightly and bowed."I have never heard Your Majesty say such words.”
"What about you guys?"
Li Er glared at the civil and military officials with killing intent.
The officials were drenched in cold sweat. They hurriedly bowed and said in unison,"We have never heard His Majesty say such a thing.”
"Then why did he, Du He, take off his hat and robe!”
Li Er pointed at the censor uniform on the ground and shouted,""Without Zhen's decree, who allowed Du He to take off his robe and be dismissed from office?!”
