Datang: Stop pretending, you are a peerless expert

After watching the excitement, all the ministers went home separately.

Du Ruhui refused to let Lao Chen go and dragged him into the official department.

"Old Chen, you really have to explain it to me, or I will die."

Du Ruhui said all the way.

Old Chen said: "Old Du, why don't you talk about it?"

Civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty did not speak, but he came out.

Du Ruhui shook his head and sighed, "Old Chen, I can't afford to offend my son-in-law."

"But I can't afford to offend the emperor, he asked me to say it, dare I not say it?"

With the dragon in front and the tiger in the back, Du Ruhui had no choice.

Old Chen knew Du Ruhui's difficulties, and said with a smile, "You shouldn't have gotten involved in this matter in the first place."

"Look at how smart I am. Every time the young master and the emperor get into trouble, I will stay far away."

"Dayun taught me this. She said that two gods are fighting, and you, a mortal, should stay away."

Shangguan Yun is a sensible person and knows the pros and cons.

Du Ruhui said enviously: "There is a good wife and a man will not be raped, this statement is true."

The two entered the official department and sat down in the study.

The servant poured tea for Du Ruhui and Lao Chen.

When the servant saw Du Ruhui came back, he reported that Du Xingmin had arrived.

Du Ruhui immediately asked the servant to invite Du Xingmin in.

After a while, a tall man came in.

Wearing ordinary clothes, with a slight beard, small eyes, calm eyes.

Du Xingmin came in and said: "I'm humbled to pay my respects to Lord Shangshu."

Du Xingmin bowed to Du Ruhui.

He didn't know Lao Chen, so he didn't dare to bark.

Du Ruhui half stood up, and said in return: "Please sit down."

For such a small official, if it wasn't for Su Yu's face, Du Ruhui would never return the gift, or even meet him.

Du Xingmin thanked him and sat on the side.

"Come on, let me introduce you. This is Lao Chen, the imperial son-in-law and the brother of Su's son-in-law."

Du Ruhui pointed at Old Chen and said.

Du Xingmin immediately greeted him again, and said: "My little eyesight, I don't know the son-in-law, please forgive me."

Seeing that the other party was a real person, Lao Chen laughed and said, "You're welcome."

After exchanging pleasantries, talk about business.

"What are you doing in Duling Yamen?"

Du Ruhui asked.

Du Xingmin replied: "The humble job is to be a catcher in Duling's yamen, and he has just been promoted to head catcher."

Speaking of being promoted to head arresting, Du Xingmin was a little proud.

However, to Du Ruhui, being a head catcher in a yamen was really an unreputable position.

"good."

Du Ruhui chuckled.

Seeing that Du Xingmin had no tea, Du Ruhui shouted, "Pour tea for Du Butou."

The servant outside the door heard it and blamed the servant for not serving tea to Du Xingmin.

The servant murmured: "Master Minister, you heard it too, a small Du Ling headhunter is also worthy of drinking tea in the official department."

The servant looked down on Du Xingmin.

The servant reprimanded in a low voice: "This is Su's acquaintance, you dare not give tea, do you want to kill Lord Shangshu!"

When the servant heard that Du Xingmin was Su Yu's acquaintance, he was so frightened that he froze, and quickly served a cup of tea that was the same as Du Ruhui's.

Bring it in and put it on the table next to Du Xingmin.

"It's been a hard journey, please drink tea."

Du Ruhui smiled slightly.

Du Xingmin took a sip and praised: "This tea is good, better than our yamen's."

Du Ruhui smiled and asked, "May I ask how you and Prince Su got to know each other?"

Du Xingmin put down the teacup, and replied: "Your Excellency, you are joking, I am so lowly, how can I know Prince Su."

hiss.
Du Ruhui didn't think Du Xingmin was joking.

That's strange, Du Xingmin didn't know Su Yu.

But Su Yu asked Du Xingmin for an official, there must be a deep meaning in it.

What exactly does that mean?
"You really don't know Consort Su?"

Du Ruhui asked again.

Du Xingmin stood up and said: "How dare you deceive Lord Shangshu with a lowly position."

Old Chen also said: "Old Du, I've been watching for a long time, but I've never seen him before."

Both Du Xingmin and Lao Chen said so, it seems that they really don't know each other.

strange too
Du Ruhui yelled in his heart that it was strange.

"Then do you know why you were called to the Ministry of Officials today?"

Du Ruhui said.

Du Xingmin shook his head, and replied: "Last night, the yamen official woke me up and said that the lord of the official department asked me to enter Chang'an, so I came."

"What's the matter, I don't know the humble job."

Du Ruhui said: "Su Concubine asked for an official for you."

Du Xingmin was shocked, thinking he had heard it wrong.

Su Yu asked for an official for himself?
"This"

Du Xingmin didn't know what to say.

"Su's son-in-law begged a soldier from Qizhou for you, are you willing to go?"

Du Ruhui said.

After several trials, Du Xingmin really didn't know.

Moreover, Du Xingmin doesn't look like a worldly expert, but capable.

"Humble job is willing to go."

Du Xingmin said happily.

An official of the seventh rank is a sesame seed to Du Ruhui, but to Du Xingmin he is a high official.

From a fast catcher to an official of the court, this is a leap.

"Okay, although Qizhou soldiers are small, they have great responsibilities."

"Especially, this matter was decided by the emperor and Prince Consort Su, and you are the only one who is responsible for it."

Du Ruhui was speaking politely and telling the truth.

Du Xingmin was overjoyed, and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty's son-in-law, and thank you, Your Excellency."

Du Ruhui called in the Minister of the Ministry of Officials and asked him to go through the formalities for Du Xingmin himself.

After completing the formalities in the official department, Du Ruhui personally sent Du Xingmin and Lao Chen out.

At the door, Du Xingmin bowed and bowed excitedly.

"Thank you, Lord Shangshu, for your support."

Du Ruhui smiled and said, "It's not me supporting you, it's Lord Consort Su and the Emperor."

"It just so happens that Old Chen is going back to Sujiazhuang, you go with him and thank you in person."

In fact, Lao Chen is going to Yongyangfang, and the construction work there is almost finished.

But when Du Ruhui said that, Lao Chen couldn't refuse.

"Come back with me."

Old Chen laughed.

Du Xingmin bid farewell to Du Ruhui, followed Lao Chen, and rode a bad horse to Sujiazhuang.

Standing at the door, the servant said, "My lord, this Du Xingmin doesn't look like an outsider at all."

Du Ruhui also felt that Du Xingmin didn't look like him, so he shook his head and said with a smile: "Whether it is or not, my lord son-in-law must have deep meaning in doing things."

"How can I wait for ordinary people to understand."

After speaking, the two returned to the official department.

Du Xingmin followed Old Chen into Sujiazhuang.

Su Yu wandered leisurely in the yard
"My lord, let's see who's coming."

Old Chen wanted to test whether Su Yu knew Du Xingmin.

"Humble Du Xingmin, I pay my respects to my lord son-in-law."

Du Xingmin bowed first.

Su Yu looked it over carefully, and said with a smile, "That's right, as expected of a prince."

In the future, Du Xingmin would serve as the governor of Changzhou, the chief governor of Jing and Yi prefectures, and the title of Duke of Nanyang County, which could be regarded as a prince.

Old Chen was surprised, he didn't expect Du Xingmin's future to be so good.

"My lord, I'm just joking. I'm just a small catcher. It's enough to recommend Qizhou soldiers. I don't dare to expect extravagantly."

Du Xingmin laughed.

Su Yu smiled and said, "What's yours is yours, don't worry."

"Qi Wang Li You will leave Qizhou soon, and I have something to explain to you."

Princess Wu Ji brought a stool over and invited Lao Chen and Du Xingmin to sit down.

Su Yu explained the matter to Du Xingmin carefully.

Only after hearing this did Lao Chen realize that Su Yu was playing such a game of chess.

Du Xingmin was sweating profusely and said, "My lord, what if I can't do it?"

Su Yu smiled and said, "Don't worry, I said you can do it, and you can do it."

"Also, your future wealth will come from here."

Du Xingmin looked like a motivated person, and now he is satisfied with Qizhou Bingcao because he has never seen a high official.

When he becomes a soldier, he will still think about climbing up.

Du Xingmin stood up and said: "Thank you, my lord, for giving me wealth."

Su Yu smiled and said, "You're welcome, let's eat here."

Princess Yaji asked the kitchen to make arrangements immediately.
