Chapter 50: Favoritism

In the Taiji Palace, not only the ministers of civil and military affairs, but also Li Er, were also full of doubts.

"Master Confucius, please tell me something! I will satisfy you. Li Er said.

Kong Yingda glanced around the ministers, and finally his gaze fell on Du Ruhui.

I only heard him say slowly: "Your Majesty, I heard that Du He, the son of Lai Guogong, has been selling revolving wooden chairs in Chang'an City in the past few days, can there be such a thing?" ”

Li Er nodded and pointed at his fart. The revolving wooden chair under the strand said: "That's right, this revolving wooden chair was developed by Du He himself, and I have been experiencing it for a long time, and it is indeed very convenient and easy to use." ”

Since meditating on the revolving wooden chair, Li Er feels that his legs are no longer painful, his waist is no longer sore, and when he speaks, he is more confident.

I have no choice but to take such a chair now, and when I go to the court, I will bring it to the Taiji Hall, and I will put it in the imperial study.

Li Er added: "Master Confucius, you are old, you must have frequent knee pain, this revolving wooden chair is just right for you, I suggest that you also hurry up to Datang Furniture Factory and find Du He to order a batch of revolving wooden chairs!" ”

The dignified emperor actually advertised Du He in person.

The ministers were shocked!

Seeing this, Kong Yingda said with a serious face: "Your Majesty thinks twice, since the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty, my Central Plains people will be the ritual of sitting, until the introduction of the Hu bed and Hu chair in the Han Dynasty, the people at the bottom began to abandon the ceremony of sitting, but the people have not forgotten this etiquette, sitting until today, it is still the etiquette of the Central Plains, and now Du He has built a carousel chair, which sounds like it has nothing to do with the Hu chair, but the minister looks at it, this is still the Hu chair, if this Hu chair is allowed to be popularized, one day, there will be no sitting ceremony in the whole world, and my Central Plains is not completely Huhua? What is the difference between the people of the Central Plains and the barbarians who drink blood? ”

Kong Yingda's words were like a big stone smashed into a calm lake, causing huge waves.

Several people immediately jumped out to agree with his proposal.

"Master Confucius is right, I Datang disdain to be in the company of Hu people, this Hu chair must not be promoted!"

"Your Majesty, please think twice, once this precedent is set, won't it make people think that my Han culture is willing to degenerate?"

"Your Majesty, please order at once to cure Du He's sin and make him stop producing carousel chairs."

For a while, there was a lot of discussion.

Kong Yingda has a lot of supporters.

Most of these people are orthodox Confucian children.

On the contrary, it was a group of old ministers who followed Li Er to fight the world, but they didn't speak.

At this time, Cheng Yanjin couldn't stand it, stood up and said: "Master Confucius, you are alarmist, this revolving wooden chair was built by Du He himself, what does it have to do with the Hu chair?" I have also sat on the Hu chair, and that thing can't be compared to the revolving wooden chair! ”

"I have also experienced this swivel wooden chair, it is very comfortable! Why should it be banned? ”

"I think Master Confucius is serious, it's just sitting on a revolving wooden chair, and he can't reach the point of abandoning the etiquette of the Central Plains!"

As soon as Cheng Biting Jin began, many supporters of Du He stood up.

Immediately, the court was like the vegetable market, noisy and noisy.

Li Er sat above, he couldn't listen to it anymore, he stood up, shook his sleeves, and said: "This matter, there is no need to discuss it anymore, I have always been able to convince people with reason, so prohibiting Du He from producing revolving wooden chairs is really unreasonable, if Master Confucius feels reasonable, he will go to Du He to debate, I don't want to care about this matter anymore!" ”

If Li Er hadn't personally experienced the benefits of the carousel chair, he might have supported the proposal of Kong Yingda and others.

But he has become accustomed to this revolving wooden chair, and even some can't do without it, at this time, if the production and sale of revolving wooden chairs are prohibited, then how can he be embarrassed to use the revolving wooden chair in the future?

Zhao Yang, the chamberlain next to him, hurriedly shouted: "Retreat!" ”

The ministers poured out of the Taiji Palace.

Cheng Biting Jin and the others scolded and left.

There are many civil officials who gathered around Kong Yingda.

"Master Confucius, how is this good?"

"Your Majesty doesn't even want to care about this matter, isn't this a clear indulgence of Duhe?"

"I'll wait...... We must not sit idly by, we must guard our Confucian etiquette and morality! ”

A group of people were noisy, all waiting for Kong Yingda to speak.

Kong Yingda turned around, looked at the back of Li Er leaving the Taiji Palace, gritted his teeth and said: "I, I should do my best to defend Confucian etiquette, all the monarchs follow me to the Laiguo Mansion, today, I must let Du He give an explanation, otherwise, the revolving wooden chair will definitely not be produced and sold!" ”

"That's how it should be!"

"Don't dare to disobey!"

Led by Kong Yingda, even Pei Ju and others also participated, and a group of people left the imperial city in a mighty way and went straight to the Laiguo Mansion.

In a short time, a group of people came to the gate of the Lai Guo Mansion.

The old man hurriedly came out, but he was taken aback.

He knows all these people, they are all big people with heads and faces in the court, they usually look gentle and elegant, but at this moment, they look fierce and angry.

"Oh, my lords, but look for my lord, my lord should be in the imperial city to deal with business now, and he hasn't returned!" The old man said cautiously.

Kong Yingda stroked his beard, looking unfathomable: "I'm not here to find Du Xiang, today, I'm here to find Du He, you quickly let Du He come out to speak!" ”

The old man was stunned.

How can this posture be the same as the two armies?

Seeing that the situation was not good, he hurried to the furniture factory.

"Young master, young master, it's a disaster, Kong Yingda took a group of people to our mansion with a fierce momentum, and asked you to go out and talk by name, I don't think this matter is good, you better hide first, let me deal with them!" The old man gasped and said.

Du He threw down the work in his hand and asked, "Kong Yingda?" Isn't that the prince's teacher, what is he looking for me? ”

The old man shook his head.

Du He called Lu Bu and wanted to go out, but was suddenly stopped by the old man: "Young master, you can't go, I see that those people are not good, and they are all people with a face, if there is a conflict, no matter who is injured, it will not be easy to explain it at that time!" ”

"Go aside, in front of the young master's mansion, who dares to be presumptuous. I'm going to see what these guys want to do! ”

It didn't take long for Duhe to come to the door.

When I looked at it suddenly, I was also startled.

There were more than 20 people, all of whom were ministers of the DPRK and China, and they all stared at him menacingly.

There are a few of them, and they are usually close to Du Ruhui.

Du He stepped forward, looked at Kong Yingda with a smile, and said, "Ouch, isn't this Master Kong?" Why, you came to buy a carousel chair in person, you see that you are old, and you even ran a trip in person, and let a subordinate book it? ”

Du He had already noticed that something was wrong with the atmosphere at the scene, but he didn't care at all, but greeted him with a smile.

Seeing this, Kong Yingda was so angry that she became short of breath.

It is said that Duhe is one of the four evils of Chang'an, and when I saw it today, it really deserved its name!
