The Empress Dowager Dou listened to Xuchang's report and was stunned for a while. Only then did he laugh a few times: "This Su Ren is really capable, this Taixue has no shadow, so he got the money spent back." ”

"The Empress Dowager Mingjian, Su Ren humiliated the royal face and damaged the image of the court, and the minister thought that Su Ren should be ordered to return all the money, otherwise who knows what chaos will happen in the future!"

Dou smiled: "The prime minister didn't send money, right?" ”

Xu Chang was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly knelt on the ground: "The old minister is favored by the Empress Dowager, and he will never have dealings with a businessman like Su Ren who values profit and ignores righteousness!" ”

Dou shook his head and sighed, and said to Xu Chang meaningfully: "Prime Minister! The mourning family heard that the first person to donate to Taixue was Long Xihou, I don't know if it's true or not? ”

"The Empress Dowager, it is the Marquis of Longxi, he and Tangyi Hou, father and son gave Su Ren a total of 100,000 yuan!"

"100,000 dollars, not much!" Dou nodded, turned to the attendant beside him and said, "Go, give the jade lock in my room to my grandson, and tell him that when he enters the palace in the afternoon, he will say that the mourning family misses him." ”

"No!"

Xu Chang shook his spirit. Dou smiled: "The mourning family agreed to build Taixue, Su Ren wanted to build it himself, I think he was asking for credit in front of His Majesty, now it seems that the mourning family mistook this kid, he is really unpredictable, but a little good thing is that he fulfilled his promise and did not let the emperor spend a penny, if the prime minister is free, go to the construction site to see how Su Renjian's Taixue is?" ”

Xu Chang didn't dare to say a word more, and hurriedly kowtowed and withdrew from the Longevity Palace. As soon as Xu Chang left, Dou sneered: "Putting money more than life, the eyes of the mourning family should indeed be blind!" ”

"Don't be angry, it's not worth it to be angry!" The Queen Mother hurriedly advised: "The donation to build Taixue was originally voluntary by those people, and the emperor did not persecute it, it depends on them whether they are willing or not." ”

"A bunch of rat-eyed guys!" Dou Shi was even more angry: "Che'er told the mourning family yesterday about this matter, and said that there were only a few families who did not donate money, and the mourning family listened to the names of those people, and their hearts were half cold, and they were the ones who hurt the mourning family the most on weekdays, but what about them?" Always disappoint the mourning family, you go, call those who don't make it, and the mourning family has to talk to them! ”

"Queen Mother, this ......"

"Go, go in person! Don't leave a single one behind! ”

"No!" The Queen Mother hurriedly agreed, got up and saluted and withdrew. As soon as he walked outside the door, he instructed the personal maid beside him: "You immediately go out of the palace to the mansion of the Marquis of Wu'an, tell him that I said it, and let him immediately go to the Taixue construction site to donate 200,000 yuan!" ”

Su Ren looked at the account book over and over again, compared the titles and names of the magnates in Chang'an, and looked at it very carefully. It took a whole morning to do this thing, and when it was sorted out, there were still a lot of people. Wei Qihou Dou Ying, Wu'an Hou Tianwei, and Guantao Princess Liu Concubine are all among them.

Leng Jun happened to come in, glanced at the bamboo slip in Su Ren's hand, and glanced at Su Ren: "Why do you have a habit of keeping black accounts?" A dignified marquis, if you don't give money, can you still grab it? ”

Su Ren smiled and shook his head: "It's not a black account, I'm looking at who is not afraid of the emperor, Dou Ying is a gentleman, he has the capital not to worry, Tian Wei is the younger brother of the Queen Mother, and he can't be afraid, I can't figure it out, why is Liu Yan not afraid?" ”

"Why does Liu have to be afraid? Concubine Liu is the daughter of the Empress Dowager, Liu Che's aunt and mother-in-law, and she is the one who should not be afraid of the most! ”

Su Ren was noncommittal: "That's not how the account is calculated, wait, if these people don't come tomorrow, then their life won't be comfortable!" ”

Leng Jun looked incredulous: "What do you want to do?" ”

"It's not what I want to do, it's what the emperor wants to do!"

In the Longevity Hall of Changle Palace, the Empress Dowager held a family banquet. It's really a family banquet, there is no outsider, all of them are his children and grandchildren. Wei Qihou Dou Ying and Princess Guantao sat at the front, and the rest of the people lined up in turn. Row by row, there are quite a few people, there are old people with white hair, and there are also children with immature faces, these people have a common characteristic, because of the relationship between the Dou family, they all have knighthoods.

With empty eyes, he glanced at it: "Is my good grandson here?" Are you here? ”

Queen Chen Ajiao stood up excitedly and hurriedly came to Dou's side, but unexpectedly, Dou snorted: "I didn't call you, the mourning family called your brother!" Is Long Shu Hou here? ”

Chen Yi hurriedly got up from his seat, walked quickly to Dou Shi, and knelt on the ground: "Chen Yi to meet the Empress Dowager!" ”

Dou was very happy and beckoned: "Come up!" Let Grandma touch you! Well, I've grown up, I was a little younger when I first saw you, but now I've grown into an adult, it's good, this time you did a good job, the Chen family has a good descendant like you, and my grandmother is relieved. ”

Chen Yi is the second son of Tangyi Hou, with the eldest brother Chen Xu on top and the queen's sister below, and his position is very embarrassing. He has no share in inheriting the title of Tangyi Hou, let alone being compared with his sister, the queen. At home, Chen Yi is like a superfluous person, not much more than him, not much less of him, even Princess Guantao is lukewarm to her son, and she doesn't care about it at all.

Dou touched Chen Yi up and down, took Chen Yi's hand, and let him sit beside him: "You all see, this is my good grandson, your good example!" What did the emperor build Taixue for? For the sake of my Han world, there are only you who have a big man, I can't figure out this thing? Su Ren is an outsider and takes out five million dollars to build Taixue, what about you? ”

"I know that you feel that the mourning family is making a big fuss in your hearts, and I tell you now that this is not a big fuss, why did the emperor clean up Haoqiang? Have you thought about it, why have you thought about building Taixue? The more Dou said, the more angry he became: "This candidate of other families, that candidate can take money to donate to build, but you are indifferent?" Even you Dou Ying didn't say anything, the mourning family had to think that you, the gentleman of the Dou family, were real or fake? ”

"Thankfully! The mourning family also has a good grandson, he can see the road ahead, the mourning family is very happy, finally I still have smart people, you all listen, the mourning family decided today, the title of Tangyi Hou will be left to Chen Yi in the future! ”

Although Chen Yi is now the Marquis of Longxi, there is still a difference between him and Tangyi Hou. Tangyi Hou is a county or a big county, and Longshu Hou is just a township, and it is the kind of remote township.

Concubine Liu was about to open her mouth, but Dou Shi stretched out his hand to stop her: "Don't plead, this matter is settled!" If you don't make it, let him fend for himself! ”

Chen Xu, who knelt behind Liu Xuan, stopped doing it, he was the eldest son of Tangyi Hou, and the heir of the dignified Tangyi Hou. Seeing that Chen Wu was about to swallow his breath, his good days were coming soon, who would have expected this kind of thing. Waving an empty sleeve, Chen Xu fell to the ground: "Imperial grandmother, I am also your grandson, you, you can't do this, Chen Yi inherited Tangyi, what should I do?" ”

"A stupid man, even if you inherit the cousin, can you keep it?" Dou's face was as cold as ice.

Chen Yi hurriedly knelt down: "Imperial grandmother, my grandson is already very happy to have this long, and I don't dare to compete with my eldest brother anymore!" ”

"It's not a fight, it's a reward, it's the emperor's grandmother's reward for you, don't be afraid!"

Chen Xuqi's face turned green, he stood up suddenly, flicked his sleeves, and stepped out of the Longevity Palace, no matter what Concubine Liu called, he didn't look back.

Dou smiled: "See, right? This is the good grandson of the mourning family, don't eat this meal, go back and think about what to do? If you don't do anything well, if you can't do it well, the mourning family will have to think about your future! ”

When Dou Ying returned home, the bushman was drinking in the lobby. In the morning, the bushman came, speaking of which, the bushman is also considered heroic, just because he had made war exploits at the beginning, and this time when he cleaned up Haoqiang, the emperor deliberately excluded him. After hearing about the Taixue construction site fighting for money, the bushman couldn't sit still. So many people have gone, and they think they are Su Ren's friends, so naturally they can't fall behind.

Early in the morning, he came to Wei Qihou's mansion to discuss this matter with Dou Ying, and before he could say a word, Dou Ying was called into the palace by the Empress Dowager, and the bushman had been waiting here. Seeing Dou Ying coming back sullenly, the bushman hurriedly put down the wine glass and greeted him: "What?" What happened in the palace? ”

Dou Ying shook his head: "It's hard to say, it's really hard to say!" ”

"Oh, look at you, what's not to say, if there's something, it's something, if it's okay, it's okay!"

"The Empress Dowager gave the title of Tangyi Hou to Chen Yi, and Chen Xu will be nothing from today onwards!"

"Oh? Why is that? ”

"In front of everyone, the Empress Dowager praised Chen Yi for a while, and then talked about the establishment of Taixue."

"Oops! That's right! The bushman slapped his thigh: "The first person to ask Su Ren to donate money to build Taixue is Chen Yi, although he only has 100,000 yuan, but he is the first, so I see that the Empress Dowager supports Your Majesty to build Taixue!" ”

Dou Ying frowned: "The Empress Dowager is so old Huang, Your Majesty is a Confucian, the two are incompatible, don't you think it's strange that they suddenly support Your Majesty so much?" ”

"People are ancestors and grandchildren, whether it is the Empress Dowager or Your Majesty, they are all for the Han world, what's so strange about this, aren't you also good at Confucianism? Isn't it a good thing that the Empress Dowager supports Her Majesty? ”

Dou Ying's eyes lit up, she looked at the bush husband in surprise, and suddenly smiled: "It's that I think it's complicated!" In this way, you immediately go home and get 100,000 yuan to donate to Jiantaixue, and I will also prepare some money and send it one piece. ”

"That's right! Don't look at anything else, I still like Su boy, he built Taixue for His Majesty, we have to help, is 100,000 yuan a little less? ”

Dou Ying smiled: "100,000 yuan is enough, I have inquired, the most is 500,000 yuan, you are not an official, and you don't have a title, you don't need too much, if you have more, there will be problems!" ”

The bushman smiled: "Okay! I'll do it! ”
