Chapter 282 Du He's Expectation + Backstabbing
Chapter 282 Du He’s Expectation + stabbing him in the back
"Really." Li Zhen shook his head. Liu Rengui thought that he would have gained a little memory after suffering a little. Who knew that he was still the same, but you are smart? Everyone else is a fool? I can't think of the questions you can think of? It's getting more and more annoying.
"Your Highness, I just saw Liu Rengui walking out in a hurry, and his face was not very good. What's going on?" As soon as Liu Rengui left, Du He walked in and asked curiously: "Is it that he offended you? You scolded him hard?"
He was originally on the battlefield of Dongcuan. Later, after the rebellion of the Cuan people was wiped out, the young army was taken away by Li Jing to Nanyang, but Du He was kept by Li Zhen. Li Zhen had already suffered enough of the pain of not having enough people to trust around him, and Du He became his candidate.
Although there are many elites around him, and even many of them are not inferior to Du He at all, some things are not very bright after all and cannot be known to outsiders. These things need to be done by absolute confidants - and there is no doubt that who is Li Zhen's absolute confidant, except for Fang Du Xuexi and the other four. Although Aya Xiaofuzi and others are also absolute confidants, their identities are destined to not be on the table, which is a huge flaw.
Among the remaining four, three of them were military generals and all needed to make merits on the Nanyang battlefield. Moreover, the next thing happened to be a civil servant, so Du He could only be chosen.
Now that Du He is back, some things can finally be implemented...
Li Zhen waved his hand: "It's okay, it's Liu Rengui's own problem. I didn't scold him. Don't gossip... Don't talk about him anymore, tell me, how do you feel in Dongcun?"
Du He sat on the stool, stretched his waist without any image, and breathed a long sigh, and said, "What can it be done? In addition to the poor environment, it is actually not much the same as ours. However, the Cuan people do have some tricks, especially in guerrilla warfare. We do not have experience in this area, and we almost suffered a loss several times."
"This is also impossible. After all, experience cannot be obtained by learning. But it's good that they can suffer a few more losses and then they can apply what they have learned in the future. There is no need to worry about this issue anymore." Although the young army has also received training in guerrilla warfare and anti-guerrilla warfare, they have not really faced enemies that have broken into pieces. Whether in Nanyang or in India, they are all against the enemy on the front battlefield and rarely go deep into the enemy's back, so naturally they have no experience in fighting behind enemy lines.
The easy victory on the front battlefield made the young army relaxed their vigilance, so that they almost suffered losses when facing the Cuan people's guerrillas. Fortunately, the Cuan people's guerrilla warfare was not very powerful, and it was only in the early stage. After several lessons, the young army could combine knowledge and experience to form their own experience and would not suffer any further after facing the guerrilla warfare.
"What do you think of the Liuzhao's rebellion?" Li Zhen asked an irrelevant question casually, but Du He said something that surprised Li Zhen.
"I had expected this, and Liuzhao would rebel sooner or later."
"What does it mean? What did it mean? "Li Zhen was curious. Did Du He have seen something long ago?
"Because when I met Liuzhao on the battlefield, I found that some people's attitudes were not very good to us, especially a few of the royal families, who had never given us a good face." Du He explained with a smile: "Your Highness, Liuzhao is affiliated with our Tang Dynasty, and their territory must be divided into counties according to the Tang Dynasty system. As the former royal family, they will inevitably be subject to the Tang Dynasty. Whether they will become real power bosses or only get a nominal scattered official in the future depends on the meaning of my Tang Dynasty.
Under such circumstances, it was too late for them to curry favor with us, so how could they give us a look? But they gave us a look. This itself shows that they are in conflict with our Tang Dynasty and are very unfriendly to the Tang Dynasty. They have even made preparations to rebel from the Tang Dynasty at any time before... "
"...You should have told me earlier." Li Zhen was silent for a moment and said in a deep voice: "If you told me your discovery earlier, maybe we would be a little prepared and would not be in such a predicament today."
"But it was the best time for the Tang Dynasty and Liuzhao to have a relationship. How dare the subordinates talk nonsense?" Du He smiled bitterly: "The subordinates only found a clue and did not even have evidence. How could the court believe the subordinates' one-sided words? If the subordinates' inference falls into Liuzhao's ears, it will inevitably affect the relationship between the two parties. The subordinates will be truly unforgivable to die. Maybe it may also implicate your highness, you will be punished, so how dare the subordinates talk nonsense?"
"Hey... forget it." Things have happened, and it's useless to regret it anymore. Li Zhen talked about the serious matter: "I'll ask you to come back this time, you should understand what I'm going to do, right?"
"I've already guessed a little..." When talking about the serious matter, Du He couldn't help but look somber. He knew that the next thing might be related to the safety of the whole world, so he couldn't help but be serious.
"Tell me, look."
Du He smiled mysteriously: "Your Highness asked my subordinates to... I'm afraid I want to... Is it necessary to clean up internally? And is the one who swings the knife?"
"Bang!" The brush fell on the rice paper, creating a large piece of ink, completely destroying Li Zhen's half-written plan.
Li Zhen held his forehead and said speechlessly: "I thought you would say something. It seems that I thought you too smart."
Du He suddenly laughed: "Hahaha... Just kidding, your highness, are you still serious? Hahaha... It's so funny, hahaha..."
"Are you playing with me?" Li Zhen still didn't understand that Du He was playing with him?
He suddenly raised his head and said viciously: "You dare to even make my jokes... It seems that the long-term outdoor life has completely let you free yourself, completely forget the superiority and inferiority of the upper and lower levels, and completely forget the flowers and why they are so red... Since that's the case, I will help you find them back today."
"No, no, I know I'm wrong. Your Highness, please spare me. I'm not kidding me?" Du He immediately surrendered: "Your Highness's meaning is actually easy to guess. Your Highness, you should be planning to let me go to a governor, right?"
"You are smart." Without beating Du He, Li Zhen said a little disappointed: "Yes, I'm going to let you go to a certain place to be a governor."
"I don't know where it is?" Du He suddenly became interested. Although he was from a rank, he had never adapted to the identity of a soldier. After all, he was a pure civil servant. He felt uncomfortable with a group of rough men all day long. If he could be delegated to be a governor, the regime and military power would be captured at once. That would feel really... happy.
"I originally planned to let you go to Nanyang. Nanyang is the most important place for the Tang Dynasty in the next ten years. There must be a person who is absolutely loyal to the court to serve as the governor." Li Zhen looked at Du He and explained: "And you are also very clear that there are only so many people in the court who are absolutely loyal to the Tang Dynasty. Most of them are already very old. Even if the father is determined, he will not send them out. If the older generation is not good, then the position of governor can only be selected from the younger generation. The one I recommend is you at the beginning."
"But Nanyang is about to fight. Your Highness, you should have called me back at this time. You should have changed your mind, right?" Du He knew Li Zhen's personality very well and knew how he spoke. Since he said that, it means that he passed by the position of the Governor of Nanyang. This is a pity.
Li Zhen said with a little shame: "There is no way, I actually support you, because the position I have arranged for you is the Governor of Nanyang. This position was confirmed before Nanyang was defeated, or even before I left Chang'an and arrived in Lingnan. You are indeed the most suitable one.
The father actually had no objection, because he knew very well that everyone might be bought by the enemy or corrupt in Southeast Asia like Hou Junji, and the people who are truly at ease are older than the other...
Your father is the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty and the top wealthy family in the Tang Dynasty. He will not betray the Tang Dynasty at all. You have been with me for more than ten years. I can see your loyalty very clearly, so from the beginning you were the most suitable candidate...
But just as I brought up your name and when my father was about to agree, someone stood up to obstruct the implementation of this decree…”
"Bastard, who is blocking my master's career? I want to kill him..." Du He almost jumped up and cursed.
As the saying goes, cutting off people's wealth is like killing their parents, and cutting off their future is like killing their father and dominating their mother. This is a strange shame and hatred in life. Du He thinks like this now - that's Nanyang, such a large area is almost equivalent to the Tang Dynasty. The governor is also holding military and political power in one go. It can be said that he is powerful. Such a place will be his own soon, but suddenly it is blocked by others... Now Du He wants to kill people, and he really wants to pull out the bastard who blocks his future and cut it into pieces.
"Your father..."
Just two words, it was like a basin of cold water pouring on his head, instantly turning Du He's heart from furious like magma to cold as Antarctic.
"Who?" Du He seemed to have not heard it clearly, and chased Li Zhen and asked again: "Your Highness, I didn't hear it clearly just now. Who was the person who just said that you should stop Your Majesty from giving me the position of governor of the South China Sea?"
"Your father." Li Zhen repeated it again and emphasized: "That is, the current Shangshu Youpushe of the Tang Dynasty, Du Duan of the Fang Mai Duduan, the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, and the Duke of Lai of the current dynasty..."
"Don't, you need to say nothing, I know who it is." There is no need for Li Zhen to continue talking. There is no one in the world who can repeat any two of these identities. There is only one person in the entire Tang Dynasty or even the whole world. Prime Minister Du Ruhui, the father of the two fools in front of him.
"But why is this?" Du He couldn't figure it out and he was tangled around the ground, "He is his prime minister, I am my governor, we... okay..."
"Do you understand?" Li Zhen smiled: "Your father is avoiding the taboo..."
"Okay, I understand." If Du He doesn't understand at this time, then he will really become a fool.
His father was the prime minister of the current dynasty, the Minister of Shangshu Youpushe, and the prime minister ranked first, and even Fang Xuanling was half apart - because there was no Shangshu Ling in the Shangshu Province, the Shangshu Zuopushe was equivalent to the prime minister, and the Left Pushe was even a little worse (in ancient times, the Right Pushe was the highest, so the Right Pushe served as the Shangshu Ling).
This is already a great minister. If he, as a son, becomes the governor of the other party outside, or is the most important territory of the Tang Dynasty, the entire Du family must have power, soldiers and soldiers... Just a family, they have soldiers, power and money, and they have such a vast power... This... is so great?
If Du He's appointment is implemented, it will almost instantly push the entire Du family to the forefront. Countless people from the government and the country will stare at the Du family. As long as they dare to make a mistake, the Du family will be criticized like a storm...
This is undoubtedly very unfavorable to the future of the Du family. Even if the Du family is loyal to the court, it will eventually be suspicious of the emperor over time...
Once a family like the Du family is suspicious, it is almost impossible to withdraw safely. Either they will be regained the trust of the emperor, or they will be sent to search and exterminate the clan...
And the chance of being exterminated is very high - even if the emperor Gu Nian's old love doesn't want to kill people, those who were offended by the Du family or those who were blocked by the Du family will never let them go, and will not give them a chance to rise again. They will inevitably make the Du family all die and feel at ease.
Such an ending is undoubtedly something that Du Ruhui doesn't want to see, so he must avoid such a situation. If he wants to avoid such a situation, the best way is to have one of him and Du He left his position.
Du Ruhui himself is already the prime minister. If it is too obvious to resign at this time, then the only sacrifice is Du He. This may be cruel to Du He, but for the sake of the reproduction of the entire family, what does personal gain and loss count?
It was precisely because Du He figured out this point that he did not continue to pursue it. After all, if it was his choice, he would have chosen this method.
This is indeed very unlucky. Du He was dismissed from the Governor of the South China Sea not because of his poor ability, nor because of his political enemies, nor because of his lord's distrust, but because his old man stabbed his knife in the back, and the knife was stabbed with a righteous and he could not even object to him. What is this unlucky?
