Be an emperor from drawing cards

Chapter 70 Du Yu: Your Majesty, why not go with the flow?
In the early morning of this day, Zhao Yu walked out of the Qingqiu Palace refreshed and took the dragon chariot to go to court. Only Bai Qing'er was left lying on the bed like mud in the palace.

Bai Qing'er blushed slightly, spat lightly, and said to herself:
"...It was alright at the beginning, if it's like this every day, how can I bear it?"

Imagining that scene, Bai Qing'er felt love and fear at the same time.

Your Majesty, otherwise you go to other concubines...

Just as this thought came to her mind, Bai Qing'er suddenly woke up.

Now in this harem, besides myself, isn't Senior Sister Wu'er the only one left?
Not to mention Senior Sister Wen'er, she can't break the Kung Fu now. Even if she can, I can't take a bite out of her!
Don't even think about this kind of thing!

Bai Qing'er gritted her teeth to be angry with herself, but then she soon became dejected again.

Even if I am made of iron, I can still break out a few nails, but no, I have to find a helper...

Bai Qing'er became a little distressed.

Suddenly, an idea flashed in her mind.

Got it!

The more Bai Qing'er thought about it, the more appropriate it seemed to her, and the corners of her mouth gradually turned up. She looked like a little fox preparing to do bad things.

As for that, no matter how picky the little emperor is, he must be very satisfied after meeting.

Not only that, but Senior Sister Wu'er didn't dare to say no when she thought about it.

…………

Not to mention Bai Qing'er's scheming in the Qingqiu Palace, Zhao Yu went to the Zihuan Palace to continue reviewing the memorial after finishing the morning court.

While Zhao Yu was resting, Gao Lishi pushed the door in from outside the hall holding a secret letter in both hands.

"Your Majesty, a secret letter has just been delivered to the front line of Linjiang Mansion."

"Oh? Could it be that King Taihe won another battle?"

Zhao Yu raised his eyebrows and took the secret letter from Gao Lishi while speaking.

After opening it, the expression on Zhao Yu's face gradually became more subtle.

"Lishi, go and call the school secretary Du Yuankai to Zihuan Hall. If anyone asks about it on the way, just say that I read history books and I have some questions and I want to ask Du school secretary."

After Du Yu and Zhao Yu established the relationship between the monarch and his ministers, in order to deceive others, Zhao Yu appointed him as the school secretary on Du Yu's suggestion.

During the Pre-Han Dynasty, the emperor recruited celebrities to the Dongguan Library to collate classics, and they were called "collaborators". They also served as the emperor's staff to a certain extent, and were responsible for consulting the emperor on classics from past dynasties.

Chu inherited the Han system, and naturally retained this position.

Gao Lishi left as ordered, and after a while, he returned to Zihuan Hall, followed by a young man who was nearly thirty years old.

"School Secretary Lang Yu, I pay my respects to Your Majesty, and wish Your Majesty good luck and prosperity."

Entering Zihuan Hall, Du Yu bowed respectfully to Zhao Yu who was reviewing the memorial.

"Du Xiaoshu is here?" Zhao Yu looked up at Du Yu, nodded his head as a greeting, and then continued to review the memorial, but he did not forget to say, "Lishi, give Du Xiaoshu a seat, a gift For tea, use the mountain tea sent from Lingnan a few days ago."

Soon, a chair was moved behind Du Yu by Gao Lishi, and then a cup of tea was brought to him.

After Du Yu thanked him, he carefully took his seat. After receiving the tea, he did not forget to thank Gao Lishi.

Du Yu's attitude made Gao Lishi quite useful.

Because ordinary civil servants don't look down on these servants, that is, they will be more polite to them when receiving orders, but that's all.

Time passed bit by bit, Zhao Yu was still writing furiously reviewing the memorial, and Du Yu also sat quietly on the chair waiting for Zhao Yu's questions.

"Your Majesty, it's been almost half an hour."

Gao Lishi glanced at Leo Ke standing beside the hall, and reminded in a low voice.Upon hearing this, Zhao Yu put down the vermilion pen in his hand, rubbed his wrist, and explained to the somewhat curious Du Yu:
"I asked Gao Lishi to remind me every half an hour that it's time for a break while I was reviewing the memorials. Take a break and have a cup of tea before continuing to review these memorials."

Du Yu said respectfully: "One piece, one piece, one piece, one piece, one piece, one piece, one piece, one piece, one piece, one piece, there is a certain degree of tension, which is the ultimate principle of all things in the world. Your Majesty's move is in harmony with the way of heaven."

In response to Du Yu's compliment, Zhao Yu just smiled and waved his hand, and then handed the secret letter from Huang Jingming to Gao Lishi.

"Master Du, you might as well take a look at this."

After receiving the secret letter from Gao Lishi, Du Yu lowered his head to look at it, and his face suddenly showed surprise.

King Taihe wrote in the letter that the leader of the army, Bo Zhuying, advised his ministers to write to the court asking for the grant of Nine Tins.But Huang Jingming, a minister of the late emperor Tuogu, was a loyal minister of Chu. How could he do such an unfaithful, unfilial and unjust thing?Zhu Ying's words were intended to alienate the relationship between His Majesty and his ministers.The minister was extremely disgusted by Zhu Ying's words, so he ordered his sergeants to beat him with eighty military sticks, deprived him of his official position without authorization, and kicked him out of the army.I am frightened, knowing that my action is against the laws of the imperial court, and I would like to express my condolences to your majesty to punish me.

"I wonder what you think, Yuan Kai?"

Zhao Yu stood up and asked with his hands behind his back.

"My minister is terrified," Du Yu let out a deep breath, and said, "Wang Taihe is throwing stones to ask for directions. Your Majesty needs to listen to what is said in this letter."

"Give Jiuxi, does he really think that I don't know the meaning of this?"

Hearing Zhao Yu's muttering behind the case, Du Yu lowered his head a little lower, and Du Yu even wanted to cover his ears and plunge into the ground.

How could he hear such words at his level?

Sometimes, the more you know, the faster you die!
"Secretary Du, please tell me how I should reply to this letter from King Taihe?"

Since Zhao Yu saw the contents of this letter, from Gao Lishi's departure to the time he finished reviewing the memorial, he didn't think about how to reply Huang Jingming.

Being too soft will make Huang Jingming push forward even more. Maybe in a few days, the memorials to Taihe and Wang Jiuxi will be sent to his Zihuan Palace one by one;

It doesn't matter if it's too hard, it will not only completely break the relationship between the two parties that is gradually becoming estranged, but also make Huang Jingming aware of the clues, thus ruining the overall situation.

Hearing Zhao Yu call his name, Du Yu secretly sighed in his heart, stood up and bowed his hands and said: "Return to your majesty, just to foresee, your majesty might as well go with the flow and praise King Taihe for this move, which is an example for his ministers."

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Yu suddenly felt enlightened, and he looked at Du Yu with more appreciation.

He is worthy of being the famous Du Wuku in China. I really admire his ability to adapt to changing situations!

"Okay, just follow Du Xiaoshu's words."

Zhao Yu patted the imperial case and ordered Gao Lishi:

"When Xiaoshu Du leaves, I will give Xiaoshu Du two cakes of the dragon and phoenix tea that I can't bear to drink."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your reward!"

Du Yu was overjoyed when he heard Zhao Yu's words, and immediately got up to thank the king again.

Apart from reading classics and collecting books, Du Yuankai's favorite thing is tea.

Among the clear teas, the dragon and phoenix tuan tea, which is exclusively for the royal family, is the most respected.

Due to the extremely complicated production process, the production of Longfeng Tuancha is scarce. It is the limit to produce [-] to [-] cakes a year, and all of them are sent to the palace for exclusive use by the royal family.

Many princes and ministers want tens of thousands of dollars for a piece of cake but cannot get it.

The late Taiwei Sun Shizhong had meritorious service against Qi in the past, and Emperor Dezong only rewarded three cakes with this dragon and phoenix tea!
When Renzong was in power, he went to Jingshan to worship the ancestors of heaven and earth, but the three princes each gave a cake, and the six ministers shared a cake!

Now His Majesty rewarded him with two cakes just because of his words, which shows how much he values ​​him.

Your kindness is so good, I can only repay it with death!

　I was accidentally blocked just now. I changed it again. I don’t know if it will pass...
