Datang: Stop pretending, you are a peerless expert

Du Xingmin followed Old Chen into Su Yu's yard and saw Li Shimin sitting beside Su Yu talking.

And the queen is playing mahjong with the princess.

Du Xingmin finally understood why others said that Su Yu was the Supreme Emperor who was actually manipulating Datang behind his back.

Old Chen smiled and said, "Let's go, I'm afraid you will come here often in the future, just get used to it."

Du Xingmin followed Old Chen to Su Yu, and bowed respectfully: "My minister, Du Xingmin, pays respects to the emperor and son-in-law."

He was very careful, for fear of losing his manners, the queen and princess hadn't met yet.

Old Chen was unrestrained, he seemed to be used to all this, and sat down beside Li Shimin.

Li Shimin raised his head and smiled, and said, "Sit down, there is no need to stick to etiquette here."

"Why did you arrive? I have been here for a long time."

Obviously Du Xingmin and Lao Chen left the palace first.

It turned out that Li Shimin arrived first.

Du Xingmin said awkwardly: "Wei Chen."

He went shopping, and these things were for Su Yu.

He didn't prepare for Li Shimin, and he was afraid that Li Shimin would say that he bribed Su Yu and asked Su Yu to be his backer.

When Du Xingmin hesitated, Old Chen said generously: "He went to the market to buy something for the young master, so he came late."

"He still pulled me to help him pick things up, and they were all there."

Old Chen pointed to the things hanging on the horse's back.

Li Shimin smiled and said: "Okay, I want to see what I can give him."

Su Yu is richer than Li Shimin, he wants to see what good things Du Xingmin bought.

Li Shimin walked over, and Lao Chen got up to help take the things down.

It seems that they are all tea leaves and the like, nothing expensive.

Du Xingmin's official is not big, and he is not corrupt, so he doesn't have much money.

Just buying these things has already spent all his savings.

Li Shimin said with a smile: "Oh, after looking at it, this pot of tea is the best."

Li Shimin held a can of tea from Tianming Pavilion in his hand, a product of Su Yu's old lover, White Lady.

This pot of tea is actually below average in Tianming Pavilion.

Du Xingmin said embarrassingly: "I am a humble minister. I am so shy, the emperor and the son-in-law are laughing at me."

He knew that Su Yu was rich, and Lao Chen also said that there was no need to buy anything.

Su Yu didn't mean to laugh, and took the tea from Li Shimin's hand, and handed it to Princess Wuji.

"Go make a pot of tea."

Princess Wu Ji took the tea and went to boil water to make tea.

Du Xingmin was extremely grateful that the things he gave were not rejected.

Gifts are given with a heart, if you have money, give more, if you don't have money, give less. Picking and choosing gifts only shows that the recipients are not qualified.

What's more, if you accept a gift and still slap the table and curse at others, this kind of person is a bastard.

"Sit down, don't be polite."

Su Yu laughed.

Du Xingmin sat down.

Being able to sit on an equal footing with the emperor, Du Xingmin felt that he had really reached the sky in one step.

Only now did he realize how powerful Su Yu was.

Li Shimin didn't give Du Xingmin face, but Su Yu's face.

"As for the matter of Qizhou, I would like to thank my son-in-law for your guidance."

Du Xingmin sat and bowed his hands.

Qizhou quelled Li You's rebellion, all things were instructed by Su Yu in advance, of course I should thank you.

Su Yu smiled and said: "You don't have to be polite, it's your own credit."

"Old Li named you the chief governor of Yizhou Metropolitan Government, and there are still some things for you to do in the future."

Du Xingmin hastily bowed and said: "My son-in-law ordered it, and I will die forever."

It is a great honor to be able to do things for Su Yu.

Hearing what Su Yu said, Li Shimin was secretly happy.

"Lao Li, how can you thank me for helping you so much?"

Su Yu turned around and asked Li Shimin.

Putting down Li You's rebellion was invisible, and it didn't cost the court a single soldier.

Also find a talent for Li Shimin.

This is a lot of work.

Li Shimin pretended to be stupid, and said: "This...isn't it right, Du Changshi used my soldiers and horses, what does it have to do with you?"

This made even him feel guilty.

Although the soldiers and horses are from the government, the command arrangements are all made by Su Yu.

Especially Du Xingmin was selected by Su Yu from Du Ling.

If Su Yu didn't say anything, who would have known about Du Xingmin, such a small person.

Su Yu looked at Li Shimin coldly, and said, "Lao Li, if someone flips the table back from now on, I won't talk, you play by yourself."

Li Shimin was taken aback, and quickly said: "My dear brother, if you have something to say, don't do that."

The emperor's second counsel?
It was the first time Du Xingmin saw Li Shimin like this, and he was not used to it yet.

Old Chen has long been numb, eating melon seeds and eating fruits by himself, not caring at all.

"Then how do you thank me?"

Su Yu squinted his eyes, half smiling but not smiling.
Li Shimin thought for a while, and said, "How about reducing the 50 billion bet you made with me to 49 billion?"

He felt that he lost [-] million strings in one breath, which was enough loyalty.

Su Yu waved his hand and said with a smile: "Old Li, you are thinking about shit, do you think you can win?"

"This definitely doesn't count."

Su Yu's bird eggs can definitely hatch, and Li Shimin can't win at all.

Deducting money from this bet is a blank check and meaningless.

Li Shimin was in a dilemma, and said: "My dear brother, what do you think?"

"You are not short of money, how can I still give you money? You are not an official, how can I make you an official?"

Du Xingmin felt like he was listening to two gods talking.

What kind of experience is it like to be told by the emperor that you are not short of money and not an official?
Su Yu thought for a while and said, "Let Du Xingmin be the governor of Yizhou."

Du Xingmin was stunned.

I just made the governor of Yizhou, how long has it been since I was named the governor of Yizhou?
Chang Shi is a deputy, and the governor controls one side's military administration, which is the top leader of the local area, and the power is quite different.

Li Shimin responded immediately: "Okay, no problem!"

Du Xingmin's eyeballs were about to fall out.

Su Yu casually asked for a governor.

This is a senior official from the second rank.

When I was sent from Du Ling to Qizhou as a military officer, Du Xingmin was grateful for a seventh-rank official.

It's only been a while, and he actually became the governor.

Du Xingmin stood up and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, and thank you, my son-in-law."

He wanted to thank Su Yu first, but he was afraid that Li Shimin would blame him, so he hesitated for a while, and thanked Li Shimin first.

"You don't need to thank me, just thank him."

Li Shimin was secretly happy.

He has been with Su Yu for so many years, and he has begun to find a way.

He felt that Su Yu had a deep meaning for the governor of Yizhou.

Du Xingmin straightened his clothes, and bowed to Su Yu, "Thank you for your support, my son-in-law."

Su Yu smiled and said, "You're welcome, just do it well."

Du Xingmin was so happy that he felt like he was flying.

Old Chen said with a smile, "Don't just call him son-in-law, just call him son-in-law, that's what we all call him in Zhuangzi."

Su Yu smiled and said, "Yes, this one is, the son-in-law, the son-in-law, it's weird."

In Sujiazhuang, Su Yu was still used to others calling him son.

Du Xingmin immediately changed his words and said: "Thank you, Young Master."

That day, Du Xingmin had dinner at Su Yu's house.

Eating at the same table with Li Shimin, the queen, and the princess, Du Xingmin felt like he was dreaming.
