"Don't worry about Minister Du."
"With General Li's strength, it's impossible for him to lose.”
Li Ke saw Du Ruhui's worried expression and couldn't help but comfort him.
History recorded a perfect victory on this battlefield and captured 100,000 prisoners.
Even without his reminder, this war would still be won. There was no need to worry too much.
"Hahaha, I understand, I understand.”
Du Ruhui sighed and laughed.
He was the Minister of Right Servant, yet he still needed a young man to enlighten him.
Old, old, really old.
Li Ke nodded and poured some more tea for Du Ruhui.
"I'm not drinking, I'm not drinking. This old man will take his leave first.”
"Today, it's all thanks to Boss Li's explanation that I'm able to put down a lot of the burden in my heart. I'll also remember this favor. If there's anything, feel free to look for me.”
Du Ruhui stood up and chuckled.
She cut in line to buy perfume and was enlightened by Li Ke.
This time, he owed Li Ke two favors.
However, Du Ruhui wasn't worried about the Crown Prince's resentment.
In the eyes of these old officials, the Crown Prince was only the Crown Prince. The Emperor was still very young.
"Alright, I'll send Minister Du off."
Li Ke nodded and stood up to send Du Ruhui off.
After sending the other party out, Li Ke stopped.
At the side of the door, Zhangsun Zhexian was actively collecting money and keeping accounts.
The three baskets beside him were filled with the same amount of copper coins.
The three wicker baskets were almost full, making Du Ruhui drool.
Du Ruhui smiled embarrassedly and bid farewell to Li Ke before leaving.
"I'll get Draconic Seven to get you some ice.”
Li Ke noticed that beads of sweat were oozing out of Zhangsun Zhexian's forehead. The ice on the ground had already melted into water.
"It should have been like this a long time ago."
Zhangsun Zhexian's hand, which was counting the money, was slightly stunned, but he quickly came back to his senses.
She glanced at Li Ke, snorted, and turned her head away, as if she didn't appreciate it.
However, only she knew how she felt.
Li Ke shook his head and ignored her. He turned around and went back to the backyard.
On the other side.
Du Ruhui left and got into a carriage.
They had already stopped here to wait for Du Ruhui.
However, there was another person in the carriage-Emperor Li Er.
"Keming, where are you going? I almost fainted from waiting for you!”
The veins on Li Er's forehead bulged as he complained in a low voice.
The space in the carriage was very small. Although it was parked in a cool place, it was still very hot inside.
In order not to let the people outside know, Li Er did not open the curtain of the carriage and stayed inside.
He thought that Du Ruhui would come out in a while, but he waited for more than half an hour. He was about to die from the heat.
"Cough cough, this old minister deserves to die, this old minister deserves to die.”
"Coachman, hurry up and leave this place.”
Du Ruhui was shocked and his body trembled.
When he was chatting with Li Ke just now, he forgot that Li Er was still in the carriage.
This was not important. What was important was that in order to not let others know that he was here, the Emperor did not even open the curtain.
It was so hot that his buttocks were soaked. It was obvious how hot it was. He could only leave this place quickly and ask the coachman to drive faster so that His Majesty could cool down a little.
"You bastard, you've angered me to death. I'll punish you with a month's salary!”
Li Er said with a dark face.
He didn't expect that he would suffer so much after leaving the palace.
If he had known earlier, he would have bought some ice cubes and placed them in the carriage to cool it down.
"Ah, Your Majesty, this old minister is wronged.”
Du Ruhui immediately begged for mercy with a crying face.
A month's salary was gone just like that?
"Humph!"
"Where's the rose perfume I wanted?"
Li Er snorted and ignored Du Ruhui.
Instead, he reached out his hand and asked Du Ruhui for the rose perfume.
"Your Majesty, it's here."
Du Ruhui heaved a sigh of relief.
His Majesty did not continue to say that he would punish them, so he would not punish them.
He immediately took out two bottles of rose perfume and handed them to Li Er.
Du Ruhui asked for two bottles of perfume from Li Ke. It was two types of perfume, two bottles of rose perfume and two bottles of orchid perfume.
"When you give me my money later, I won't argue with you this time.”
Li Eryi put the roses in his arms and snorted coldly.
Today, he was in the palace discussing state affairs with Du Ruhui and the other ministers.
When the meeting ended, he asked Du Ruhui where he was going.
After learning that Du Ruhui had been forced to buy perfume by his tigress, Li Er also had an idea.
There was no stock on the market now. If he wanted to buy it, he could only queue up. The queue was very long. He did not even know when it would be his turn.
Hence, he also thought about whether he could buy it from Li Ke in private.
However, it was absolutely impossible for him to look for Li Ke.
Therefore, he thought of asking Du Ruhui to buy two bottles of rose perfume that Empress Zhangsun wanted and give them to her later.
In the past few days, Empress Zhangsun had mentioned rose perfume several times.
Li Er, who had a deep understanding of Empress Zhangsun, naturally knew that the Empress liked it very much, so he came up with this plan.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Du Ruhui pouted and said aggrievedly.
However, compared to being fined a month's salary, buying two bottles of perfume for the emperor was more cost-effective.
"Tell me, why did you take so long?"
Li Er wiped the sweat off his body and opened the curtain.
The wind blowing in from the window made Li Er feel cool.
"Ahem, it's a long story."
"This old minister asked the King of Shu if the Great Tang would win the war against the Eastern Turks. How did Your Majesty think the King of Shu would answer?”
Du Ruhui coughed dryly and said in a deep voice.
He naturally didn't dare to say that it was because Li Ke's place was very cool and he wanted to stay a little longer.
"Naturally, the Great Tang will win.”
Li Er frowned slightly.
He didn't like to be questioned.
But the person he was talking to was Du Ruhui, one of his advisors. Even though Li Er didn't like it, he still answered seriously.
"Yes."
"But what the King of Shu said was true. Heaven is on the Great Tang's side, so the Great Tang will definitely win!”
Du Ruhui nodded and said in a deep voice.
"Hmm? Why is the heavens helping the Great Tang?"
Li Er's interest was piqued.
No matter who was asked about attacking the Eastern Turks, the answer would always be victory.
No matter what they thought in their hearts, the answer to Li Er's question was victory.
There were all kinds of reasons. Some said that Li Jing was a god, some said that the Tang soldiers were mighty, and some even said that he was the true dragon and son of heaven.
But no one said that the heavens were helping the Great Tang!
Because the heavens were not helping the Great Tang!
"The King of Shu said that the temperature in the Eastern Turks has already begun to drop and that it will soon snow. The Eastern Turks will have even less food,"
Du Ruhui recounted everything Li Ke had said.
He didn't add any embellishments, which was equivalent to a retelling. He even mentioned the possible mutation.
After saying that, he looked at Li Er.
"That unfilial son still has such thoughts?!”
Li Er was still looking out the window.
The wind outside the window blew on his face and messed up his hair.
However, Li Er's expression changed and became somewhat incredulous. He was surprised by Li Ke's answer.
"Yes, I was shocked after hearing it, so I stayed a little longer.”
Du Ruhui smiled knowingly and said slowly.
"Hmph, that unfilial son was just saying.”
"The war has just begun. It's hard to say if he's telling the truth.”
Li Er seemed to realize that Du Ruhui had seen through his thoughts and said angrily.
The carriage galloped away and sent Li Er back to the palace before leaving.
Li Er got off the carriage and went straight to the Administrative Hall to give the Empress a surprise.
Little did he know that the harem had changed greatly these few days. He did not give her a surprise, but a fright.
