God-level Consort of the Tang Dynasty

He walked slowly.

In the quiet hall, Du Gou's steady footsteps sounded.

Everyone saw a young man with an unshaven beard, sharp eyes, and full of vigor walking in slowly, and they were all surprised for a while.

Wang Gui thought to himself: When Du Gou left Chang'an, he was just a frail scholar. He hadn't seen him for five years, but he looked like this. One can imagine how miserable life in Dengzhou was.

The ministers were all surprised.

Li Er was also slightly shocked.

Yesterday, he heard from Du He that the pirates in Dengzhou were rampant. Du Gou served as the Sima of Dengzhou, and the battle with the pirates was extremely difficult, and he was injured and left the root cause of his illness.

It's just that I never thought it would be like this.

In the astonishment of everyone, Du Gou had already walked to the front, bowed deeply, and said loudly: "Chen, Dengzhou Sima, Du Gou, I pay my respects to Your Majesty."

The sound is like a bell, shaking the soul.

"it is good!"

Li Er suddenly slapped the table, stood up, and said loudly.

He looked at Du Gou happily, and said: "This is my good Erlang from Tang Dynasty, and this is a good official who protects the country and the people in Dengzhou. Du Gou, you will explain in detail about the suppression of bandits in Dengzhou." Come."

Du Gou looked at Du He.

Du He whispered: "Brother, don't forget, I taught you last night..."

Du Gou hesitated, collected his thoughts, and said (recited) slowly: "Chen Du Gou, I have been ordered to serve as Sima in Dengzhou for more than five years, and I have not received half of the credit. To be loyal to the Great Tang, for the past five years, the minister and the pirates in Linhai of Dengzhou..."

He was born as a scholar, and he is best at endorsement.

Therefore, he stood in front of everyone in the Tai Chi Hall, and recited the manuscript given by Du He yesterday, word for word.

Sure enough, when he finished speaking, the eyes of many generals in the hall were moist.

Yu Chigong said: "It's not easy. Without a regular army, it's too difficult to fight those pirates by relying on the training of the fishermen recruited under him!"

Qin Qiong said: "This is the real general of a hundred battles!"

A group of people looked at Du Gou with admiration.

Especially when looking at Du Gou's right foot, everyone was silent.

This is a warrior who dedicated one foot to Datang.

Li Er frowned and said, "Du Gou, from what you said, pirates are rampant in the Dengzhou area?"

Du Gou nodded and said: "Your Majesty, Dengzhou is near the sea, and many people live by going out to sea to hunt. Since the previous dynasty, there have been many wicked and vicious people who have gone to sea to occupy mountains and become kings on some small islands overseas. Looting the common people is the main thing. In recent years, there have been many rogues from Goguryeo and Dongying to the East China Sea. These people are familiar with the sea and are good at water warfare. Therefore, they have caused a lot of trouble to the states and counties by the sea. The combat effectiveness of the pirates is not strong. , but, these people come and go without a trace, often burn, kill and loot in a certain defensive empty place, and then go away, it is really not easy to exterminate them..."

Hou Junji, Minister of the Ministry of War, added: "Your Majesty, what Du Gou said is the truth. In recent years, there have been reports from all over the states and counties near the sea that they have been repeatedly invaded by pirates, and some states and counties have even suffered heavy losses."

Li Er nodded: "It's unreasonable, mere pirates dare to repeatedly invade the border of our Tang Dynasty. The Ministry of War must draft a regulation on this matter as soon as possible."

Hou Junji bowed and said, "Yes, Your Majesty!"

Li Er looked at Du Gou with a satisfied expression, and said, "Sure enough, he is Keming's son. You did not disappoint me...Du Gou, I ask you, are you willing to go back to Dengzhou and continue to fight pirates?"

Du Gou said seriously: "Your Majesty, this is something I've been thinking about day and night."

"The pirates are ferocious. Returning to Dengzhou is full of dangers. Besides, your father is old and in poor health. Don't you want to be filial to your father in Chang'an... Have you thought it through?" Li Er asked.

Du Gou said calmly: "Your Majesty, loyalty and filial piety have been difficult to achieve in ancient times. He'er and I have already discussed that if I go out to fight for the Tang Dynasty, He'er will stay in Chang'an and take care of my father! He'er has agreed to this matter. My father didn't say anything to stop me..."

Li Er laughed, and said: "Okay, from your father to your brothers, I have not been disappointed by the Duke of Laiguo... Du Gou, since this is the case, I will allow you to return to Dengzhou, but you don't want to go back to Dengzhou." Then Dengzhou Sima, you can directly serve as the governor of Dengzhou."

Governor of Dengzhou?

Du Gou was stunned for a moment.

Even Du He didn't expect this result.

He originally did all this because he wanted Du Gou to return to Dengzhou, and it would be best if he could serve as the assistant driver of Dengzhou.

Unexpectedly, His Majesty Li Er was so happy that he asked Du Gou to be the governor of Dengzhou.

The ministers were stunned.

However, no one said anything against it.

Not to mention Du Gou's credit.

For now, the Du family and his son are the lucky stars in His Majesty's eyes. Whoever dares to stand up against them will make things difficult for His Majesty, and no one wants to do such a thing.

Du Gou reacted and said happily: "Thank you, Your Majesty! I have another request."

"you say!"

Du Gou said: "Your Majesty, there are fierce pirates in Dengzhou. I would like to ask Your Majesty to allow me to train troops in Dengzhou, recruit fishermen from Dengzhou, and form a navy to exterminate pirates."

Li Er looked at Du Gou, then at Du He: "Du He came up with this idea for you, right?"

Du Gou was embarrassed for a while.

Li Er waved his hand and said: "As the governor of Dengzhou, you are on the horse to manage the army and dismount to calm the people. This is your duty. I have never heard of the navy you are talking about before. You went to Dengzhou and acted cheaply." That's it."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, I plan to leave for Dengzhou in a few days." Du Gou said.

Li Er curiously said: "Now, the Chinese New Year is only half a month away, and I promise you to return to Dengzhou after the Chinese New Year."

Du Gou shook his head: "Your Majesty, I can't wait for a moment. I still have many brothers in Dengzhou, fighting pirates all day long. They haven't been home for the New Year for many years. How can I stay in Chang'an to enjoy the blessings? Today, I left an oath on this hall: If the pirates are not completely wiped out, I will never return to Chang'an."

Du Gou almost yelled out the last few words, loud and loud, startling many people.

Chapter 1291

Li Er laughed, and said: "Okay, you are indeed my minister, you can go to Dengzhou without worry, the Duke of Lai's mansion will be taken care of by Du He, and I will always send people to pay attention to your father's health."

"Thank you, Your Majesty Ron!" Du Gou said loudly.

"Hahaha……"
