After the morning court the next day.
Li Shimin stopped Du Ruhui with a heavy heart.
In the corner of the Royal Garden, Li Shimin asked, "My dear minister, there's something that I'm not sure about. Please help me make a decision, but you have to keep it a secret for me!"
Du Ruhui hurriedly kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, you know this old official's character. Your Majesty, please tell me! If this old official can help, this old official will definitely sacrifice his life … "
"Alright, alright, alright!"
Li Shimin hurriedly interrupted Du Ruhui.
"It's like this. Last night, Zhen and Empress Zhangsun discussed the issue of the little shopkeeper's whereabouts. You see, the little shopkeeper helped Zhen resolve the current predicament. Logically speaking, Zhen should reward him. But because of some matters, Zhen can't lay the cards on the table for the time being."
"So, I want to bring the Crown Prince, Qing Que 'er, Zhi' er, and Kuan 'er to meet the shopkeeper and make friends with him. What do you think? This matter has nothing to do with the court. I just want to let the young people move around more. What do you think? If you think it's feasible, I have something for you to do! "
"This …"
Du Ruhui blinked and instantly understood the Emperor's meaning.
He thought that something big had happened, which was why the Emperor called him here alone with such a heavy heart. So it was because of this!
Although he had never met the little shopkeeper, he had at least heard of his magnificent achievements. He was an unparalleled talent!
If that was the case, it would be very beneficial for the future successor of the Tang Dynasty.
Wait!
The Emperor saw that I was honest, so he went behind Zhangsun Wuji's back!
If that's the case, the Emperor thought …
Thinking of this, Du Ruhui understood.
He hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, don't worry about this matter. This old official will definitely get it done for you! However, this old official has a presumptuous request. You know that this old official's health is deteriorating day by day, but my son Du Zheng … "
Li Shimin's face darkened.
This old man usually looked so honest, but it turned out that he was just pretending!
However, Li Shimin had no choice but to say, "Fine! Zhen will approve of this matter, but you have to promise not to spread it out! What do you think? "
Hearing this, Du Ruhui was so excited that his beard was trembling. He hurriedly knelt on the ground to express his gratitude.
Li Shimin continued, "Do you think that if the ministers of the court were to find out about this, there would be criticism?"
In the end, Li Shimin asked the question that worried him the most.
This was what he was most worried about.
Now, the battle between the civil and military officials was getting more and more intense. However, Li Shimin was still a little worried if this matter were to emerge at this critical juncture.
Du Ruhui stroked his beard and shook his head as he thought about it. Then, he said, "This old subject thinks that there is nothing wrong with this! You just have to pretend that you don't know about it. Besides, young people like to play! It's just one more playmate, so there won't be any big trouble. However, for this matter, Your Majesty must not personally send the Crown Prince and the others there! "
Li Shimin was stunned and hurriedly asked, "Why?"
"If Your Majesty shows up, won't the nature of this matter change? At that time, it will become an imperial order! In this case, what do you think … "
Hearing this.
Li Shimin's back couldn't help but be soaked in cold sweat.
"Then, do you have a solution?"
"Your Majesty only needs to tell this old official the location of the inn, this old official … Or, you can also tell the Crown Prince! If it really doesn't work, you can ask Lord Cheng to send it over! "
Du Ruhui originally wanted to tell him the location of the inn, but seeing Li Shimin's unhappy face, he couldn't help but worry.
He waved his hand and said, "You can leave first. This matter, zhen needs to think about it carefully!"
Du Ruhui's eyes turned and hurriedly cupped his fist and said, "Then this old official will take his leave!"
…
Out of the Imperial Palace.
The more Du Ruhui thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong.
Why didn't the Emperor find someone else for this matter, but him?
Zhangsun Wuji, or Cheng Yaojin, or even Wei Zheng!
But, why did he find me?
No!
His Majesty must know that no matter who he found, there would be someone who would send his son to the inn to accompany the Crown Prince to study!
So, the Emperor was deciding on the Crown Prince's tutor?
Hiss —!
After understanding this point, Du Ruhui could not help but suck in a breath of cold air.
This was a big deal!
Although Zhang Feng hadn't seen this person before, he could be so resourceful and so young, then in the future …
"Yo! Isn't this Lord Du? Lord Du, you are … "
Unknowingly, Du Ruhui walked to the gate of Zhangsun Wuji's mansion while thinking. Coincidentally, Zhangsun Wuji 'saw' him.
Seeing Zhangsun Wuji coming.
Du Ruhui cupped his fist and looked around, saying, "Lord Zhangsun, are you waiting for me?"
"Hey! Lord Du, what are you talking about? How could I not be waiting for you?! Let's go, a few days ago, I got a jar of good wine from Zhang Feng's store. Today, Lord Du, please taste it! "
Knowing that there was good wine.
Du Ruhui's ears pricked up.
Entering the house, he saw that there was a table full of wine and dishes.
This caused Du Ruhui to be even more suspicious.
Zhangsun Wuji, this old fox, really had something to do with him!
After sitting down, Zhangsun Wuji personally poured a bowl of wine for Du Ruhui and then asked with a smile, "Lord Du, I wonder why the Emperor is looking for you today for Zhang Feng from the inn?"
