"Brother!"
When Du Ruhui saw Du Chuke coming, he couldn't help being taken aback.
Soon, a smile appeared on his face.
"Shan Bin, you came just in time. I bought a batch of stoves from the Liu family a few days ago for my brother, and I was thinking of sending them to you!"
He pointed to the stove in the corner of the study, and said with a smile: "With this thing, winter will be much better!"
Du Chuke was not in the mood to chat with him, so he said directly: "Brother, do you know about the entry of His Highness the Crown Prince into the palace?"
Du Ruhui's expression became a little unnatural.
"Of course he knows."
Although they are brothers, it is extremely sensitive to talk about this kind of topic.
As the second person in the dynasty, Du Ruhui was only under Fang Xuanling. Although he did not expressly support Li Chengqian, anyone with a discerning eye could tell that these bigwigs from the three provinces all felt that Li Chengqian was the most suitable candidate for the crown prince.
But Du Chuke is Li Tai's loyal subordinate!
There is a deep brotherhood between the two brothers on the surface, but in fact, they are not of one mind.
Du Chuke sat across from Du Ruhui, and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince of Yue thinks that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has committed a crime, and he intends to take advantage of the opportunity to make trouble at tomorrow's court meeting!"
Du Ruhui's pupils shrank suddenly, but nothing showed on his face.
"So what? This is not the first time."
Du Chuke was in a hurry.
"Brother has a good relationship with that Liu Bai, and he also knows that he is full of tricks. This time His Royal Highness enters the palace, there must be something hidden behind it!"
Seeing that Du Ruhui was as motionless as a mountain and didn't even say a word, Du Chuke's heart became more and more impatient, and his voice was raised a bit.
"Could it be that elder brother is willing to watch as the court is in turmoil due to the dispute between the prince and the king of Yue?"
A trace of coldness flashed across Du Ruhui's face.
"Shan Bin, as the governor of Yue Wangfu, the affairs of the court seem to have nothing to do with you!"
"But the King of Yue has always been wise, far better than His Royal Highness a hundred times, if so"
Before he finished speaking, Du Ruhui suddenly jumped up.
"Presumptuous! Are you supposed to say these words?!"
Du Chuke also knew he had made a slip of the tongue, but in his heart, he was even more worried that Li Tai would be tricked by Liu Bai and Li Chengqian!
He stood up and bowed his hands to Du Ruhui.
"Please brother look at my face and tell the truth!"
Du Ruhui's face was uncertain.
Others don't know the truth, but he, Fang Xuanling and the other big men from the three provinces know it clearly.
When Li Chengqian entered the palace, he said he was pleading guilty, rather, he was reporting Hou Junji's rebellion!
Not only will she not be punished, on the contrary, she will be rewarded by His Majesty at the Great Court Meeting tomorrow!
If Li Tairuo took the opportunity to make trouble, he was asking for trouble.
Li Er may not do anything to Li Tai, but he will definitely vent his anger on the officials of the Yue Palace!
At that time, the only unlucky one is Du Chuke, the governor of Yue Wangfu!
He hesitated whether to tell Du Chuke the truth.
knock knock --
At this moment, the housekeeper knocked on the door.
"Master, there is a letter from the Liu family!"
Du Ruhui walked past Du Chuke, took the letter over, opened it, and his face suddenly became a little weird.
He was silent for a long time, then suddenly threw the letter to Du Chuke.
"You and Liu Bai still have friendship?"
Du Chuke was taken aback.
After taking a look at the letter, he exclaimed, "Why?"
Du Ruhui thought for a while, then smiled again, and stepped forward to wrap his arms around Du Chuke's shoulders.
"Shan Bin, Liu Bai recommends you to enter the academy, and His Majesty will definitely agree. I'm afraid you will be able to bid farewell to His Royal Highness in a few days."
Chapter 147: One Hundred Thousand Mu? !Even if you sell the old man, you can't gather so much farmland
These few days, Liu Bai was too busy to touch the ground.
In addition to collecting evidence of Hou Junji's rebellion, he also had to command from a distance. Xue Li and Wang Shouren, who had already arrived in Longyou, planned to arrest Xieli.
If it wasn't for an old man who sighed outside his new study all day, he wouldn't care about Du Chuke's life or death.
After writing several letters, Liu Bai was planning to find someone to pass them on, when he went out, he saw Du Yan wandering around in the yard again.
Seeing Liu Bai come out, Du Yan hesitated to speak, and wanted to go forward, but he was embarrassed.
If this kind of expression is placed on a young girl's body, it will be a shy and infinite 'beauty', but it will be disgusting no matter how you look at it on an old man.
"I've written all the letters, what else do you want?" Liu Bai said helplessly, covering his forehead.
Du Yan cupped his hands in embarrassment, "I am deeply grateful for Mr. Liu's great kindness, but although Shan Bin has entered the academy, he has served as the governor of Yue Wangfu for many years after all. Please, son, give me a good plan."
Liu Bai rolled his eyes, and said: "Mr. Wang is also a generation of great Confucians, why did he teach you guys!"
In the past, Liu Bai would have to be polite when facing a senior official like Du Yan.
But after recognizing the real face of this guy, Liu Bai knew that the more polite he was, the more this guy would push his nose.
A few days ago, at the door of Liu Bai's study, he was moaning and nagging, asking Liu Bai to find a way to save Du Chuke.
Liu Bai was really troubled by him, so he wrote a letter recommending Du Chuke to teach in the academy.
The relationship between North Korea and China is complicated. Two seemingly unrelated people may be relatives.
Du Yan, Du Ruhui, and Du Chuke are good examples.
Because, Du Yan was originally the uncle of Du Ruhui and Du Chuke!
Ever since Wang Ji 'settled' in Liu's house, Wen Yanbo and Du Yan ran to Liu's house whenever they had nothing to do. After a long time, they almost regarded Liu's house as their own.
The three old men stayed in Liu Bai's study all day long, reciting poems and criticizing articles.
Perhaps, Wen Yanbo and Du Yan couldn't see the chain reaction of Hou Junji's matter.
But Wang Ji, an old guy, has vicious eyes.
From the moment Li Chengqian entered the palace, he knew that Li Tai couldn't sit still!
Will definitely take the opportunity to attack!
Du Yan naturally thought of his own nephew.
He knew Liu Bai's methods too well, he was as precise as Wang Ji, and he was tricked by Liu Bai. How could he be Liu Bai's opponent with the few pieces of material from Yue Wang's mansion?
Once Liu Bai cheats Li Tai, the first one to be unlucky must be Shi Du Chuke, the governor of the Prince of Yue!
Although this uncle is not much older than the two nephews, he is an elder after all.
How could it be possible to watch Du Chuke fall into a trap?
But he was embarrassed to beg Liu Bai directly, so he frequently lingered in front of Liu Bai, hoping that Liu Bai would take the initiative to help him.
No need to think about it, this bad idea must have come from Wang Ji!
Maybe, seeing Du Yan disturbing his peace all day long, that old guy Wang Ji hid in the corner and snickered!
"in spite of!"
Without further ado, Liu Bai directly refused!
Recommending Du Chuke to enter the academy is considered as the utmost benevolence.
If Du Yan wasn't Wang Ji's nephew, he wouldn't even be able to write that letter.
Du Yan's face was flushed, but he kept clapping his hands.
In order not to make his nephew unlucky, he didn't intend to save any face.
"Young master, don't leave! There are still a few acres of Susukida in the old man's house, how about giving them all to the young master?"
Du Yan's days in Liu's house were not short, and he knew Liu Bai a little bit, so he directly used the 'ultimate killer'.
According to his experience, as long as there is farmland, Liu Bai will not refuse under normal circumstances.
It worked.
Liu Bai stood still, pursed his lips, and slowly stretched out a finger.
"One hundred thousand acres!"
When Du Yan heard this, his eyes widened like copper bells!
"One hundred thousand mu?! Even if I sell the old man, I can't even gather so much farmland!"
Liu Bai turned his head and left, not wanting to talk nonsense with this fellow.
If it weren't for the fact that he still had the task of collecting millions of acres of fertile land, he wouldn't want to talk to Du Yan at all.
Du Yan suddenly panicked.
He took a few steps and followed behind Liu Bai.
"Young master, the old man's family is in Chang'an area, and there are only [-] mu of farmland. How about converting the rest into silver?"
Liu Bai still didn't speak.
silver?
With the current business scale of the Liu family, at least 10,000+ will be deposited into the account every month. Can you value the little money of the Du family?
Liu Bai has experienced Du Ruhui's digging and searching.
The six of them drank tea at Liuyexuan, even Dai Zhou, the youngest, had paid the bill several times, but Du Ruhui never took the initiative to pay once!
Their old Du's family is notoriously poor.
In half a day, wherever Liu Bai went, Du Yan followed.
With a deadpan look, he refused to leave no matter what.
When it was time for lunch, Liu Bai finally lost his patience.
"Xu Chu, drag him away!"
Xu Chu immediately stepped forward and lifted the old man up!
Du Yan danced and danced in mid-air, his face turned pale with fright.
But he still gritted his teeth and said, "Young Master Liu, [-] mu of fertile land, plus [-] guan of silver! I only have so much. If you don't agree, I will die here!"
Liu Bai's face was covered with black lines.
Du Yan in history, at any rate, can be regarded as a strong man, loyal and good throughout his life, with almost no stains.
Why does this one in front of me look more like an older brat?
He waved his hand and asked Xu Chu to put Du Yan down.
"Forget it, if you can get Du Chuke to tell all the secrets of Yue Palace, Liu can consider saving him!"
Du Yan was overjoyed and said, "I'm going to find Shan Bin right away!"
After speaking, he turned his head and left!
"Wait!"
Liu Bai called him to stop, and said with a half smile: "Did you forget something?"
Du Yan slapped his forehead, took out a few land deeds from his pocket, tore off a corner of his clothes, wrote down an IOU, and left in a hurry.
Holding the IOU written by Du Yan, Liu Bai couldn't help but laugh.
