I'm a marquis in Datang

Chapter 570 The Tigress

tigress

Zheng Shi gritted her teeth and said: "Since it was arranged by the emperor, I will go to the palace to see the emperor tomorrow morning. Anyway, now that I am a county lady of the third rank, I can have an audience with the emperor. I would like to ask the emperor, Why, why did you want to throw my son to the place where no shit is in the Western Regions."

The former Zheng family, because of Du Qi, became the fifth-rank county lord, officially stepping into the ranks of imperial wives.

After Li Shimin ascended the throne, he began to reward meritorious deeds.

Du Ruhui has the credit for supporting him, so not only Du Ruhui was promoted, but also Zheng's became the third-rank wife of the county.This is rare in the imperial court, and his status can be described as honorable.

She wants to see the emperor, of course she can.

As soon as Du Qi heard Zheng's words, his face immediately collapsed. He was lifting a rock to shoot himself in the foot.He thought that by shifting the responsibility to Li Shimin, the matter would be over, but he didn't expect that this incident would cause Mrs. Zheng to enter the palace.

This is a bit of a hassle.

Du Qi looked at Du Ruhui and signaled Du Ruhui to come forward to deal with it, hoping to ease the situation.However, Du Ruhui's eyes were staggered, he would not lose the big because of a small one, if he angered his old wife, he would not be able to bear the consequences.

As soon as Zheng saw the father and son looking at each other, she felt something was wrong.

The situation is not right.

Zheng said again: "This time, even if I risk my life, I'm going to question the emperor and ask the emperor to stop me from going to the Western Regions. What are you going to do in such a remote place, a son of a rich family? To expand the territory, Of course there are people from the army. In short, my son is not allowed to go. If the emperor refuses to agree, I will crash and die in the imperial city. I don’t believe it. The emperor really wants you to go.”

This time the wording was stronger than before.

Hearing this, Du Qi felt sorry.

I can't fool Mrs. Zheng about this, so I have to tell the truth.

Du Qi said: "Mother, actually the matter of going to the Western Regions was not arranged by the emperor. It was my son who volunteered to go to the Western Regions. Therefore, it is useless for you to seek the Emperor."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Zheng's eyes widened immediately. She looked angry and said viciously: "You bastard, you are going on an expedition, someone fooled your brains, or your brains were kicked by a donkey."

Zheng Shi became angry and glared.

That fierce appearance made Du Ruhui's heart tremble with fright, and he sat obediently by the side without saying a word.

The rest are also silent.

In fact, Zheng's actions, in the eyes of the Du family, are justified and correct.It's all right, going to the Western Regions where the birds don't shit, it's a toss by yourself

It is extremely unreasonable for myself.

Du Qi couldn't say that he was dissatisfied with the emperor's robbing of the Du family, and he didn't want to be a hindrance in the country, and he didn't want to be a fat pig in the country, so he went to the Western Regions.

This cannot be said.

Du Qilue thought about it, and then said: "Mother, I went to the Western Regions to do things, but it was actually for our family's sake. Mother, think about it, I am the King of Pingxi now. After arriving in the Western Regions, I took the place outside the sandbar, that is We belong to the Du family. This matter is a good deal. Anyway, your son is now the King of Pingxi by the imperial court, so you can't live up to his name."

Hearing this, Mrs. Zheng didn't care at all, and said, "No matter how good the Western Regions are, it's good to have Chang'an. In Chang'an, that's the home and the root. I don't care, you can't go anywhere, just stay in Chang'an."

Du Qi suddenly felt dizzy.

It's really hard to persuade my old lady to kiss here!

Rao is full of wit and tricks, but his old mother admits to death, and it is not easy to persuade, so after thinking about it for a while, Du Qi said: "Mother, going to the Western Regions is already a fixed matter, and there is no room for relaxation. This matter, Don't try to persuade me. Even if you make trouble with His Majesty, it won't change. And if you make trouble with His Majesty, it will be your son and me who will suffer in the end."

"you…"

When Zheng heard this, tears came to his eyes.

The child travels thousands of miles and the mother is worried.

It's nothing more than Du Qi's expedition. It's a long journey to the Western Regions, and I don't know what the situation is. Zheng's heart, how can he not be worried.Even when Du Qi went to the Turks, the Zheng family often suffered from insomnia and was always worried about Du Qi's safety. Now that Du Qi went to the Western Regions, the Zheng family was even more worried.

Du Qi sighed and said, "Mother, it's a big matter for the Du family that my son is going to the Western Regions, so don't cry."

Du Ruhui said in a deep voice: "Okay, don't cry. This matter has already been settled, and it is impossible to reverse it. I will explain the specific reasons to you."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Zheng thought about Du Ruhui's words, so she stopped talking.

Originally, a family reunion should be festive.

Now, the atmosphere is dignified.

The expressions on each face were quite dignified.

The family banquet ended just like that, Du Qi took Li Yanyun and Qian Xue to the backyard to express their lovesickness, while Du Ruhui and Zheng Shi also returned to their own yard.

Mrs. Zheng stared at Du Ruhui, snorted and said, "You old bastard, why did Erlang go to the Western Regions?"

Her eyes were fierce.

It's like a tigress protecting a calf.

When Du Ruhui saw this, his heart trembled with fright. Even though he was in the court, he was an important minister of the court, and a single word could decide the lives of countless people, but facing his old wife, he still felt a little flustered from the bottom of his heart.

Du Ruhui explained: "Ma'am, the reason why Erlang went to the Western Regions is very simple. It was because when he went to the Turks, the court collected money from our family, and Erlang took a million guan as military salary."

"Although Your Majesty didn't come forward about this matter, it was a run on by you and me, the important ministers in the court. In the end, I had to accept this errand. In view of this matter, Erlang thinks that our Du family can't be so often treated like this." Robbery', that's why Erlang has this layout, going to the Western Regions to open up the situation."

"Erlang's plan should be that after establishing a foothold in the Western Regions, the commercial center will gradually shift to the Western Regions."

"This is Erlang's consideration."

"That's why Erlang made the request, please go to the Western Regions."

Du Ruhui said: "Earlier when he was in the court, Erlang didn't propose to go directly to the Western Regions. He went to the Western Regions to serve as a county magistrate and to open up trade routes as an excuse. That's why His Majesty ordered Erlang to be the King of Pingxi, and now we are here. s arrangement."

After hearing this, Zheng couldn't help but sigh.

Every family has its cupboard.

It stands to reason that a wealthy family like the Du family has no worries about food and clothing, but they also have worries.

Mrs. Zheng thought about it, then suddenly looked at Du Ruhui, and snorted, "Erlang is not to blame for doing this. If you are stronger, or pretend to be deaf and dumb, will it be Erlang's turn to be 'robbed' of money? The matter was caused by you. You are an old thing, really useless, you can't even protect your son. "

Du Ruhui smiled awkwardly upon hearing this.

How old is he.

It's all old stuff!

But Zheng's words did speak to Du Ruhui's weakness, he did not protect his son.

The heart is quite lost.
