Chapter 1002: Night Visit
Who is Dou Yi, it can be said that he, the left servant of the household department, is the most strange person in the imperial court, born in a businessman, favored by the emperor, and became the emperor's housekeeper, and then he is the household servant, and now he has added a director of the Tang Dynasty. If you say, who is the richest in this world, it is probably this Dou Yi.
It's just that Dou Yi is very low-key, it can be said that he is the most low-key person in the court, wearing very ordinary clothes, but doing the most profitable business, even Dou Yi didn't expect that what he did was so profitable, so he was more cautious, once outsiders knew about it, I am afraid that there are not many people who covet his position.
In the evening, Dou Yi returned to the mansion and was teasing his little son, which was born to his concubine, named Dou Yiren, the tiger head and tiger brain born by the child, which is very similar to Dou Yi, Dou Yi likes this child very much, on the day the child was born, the people of all sizes in the house were on ten coppers. It's not that Dou Yi is stingy, but Dou Yi knows that wealth is not exposed.
"My lord, there are people outside who want to see you." He was in the back house, and suddenly saw his subordinate walk in, still holding a famous thorn in his hand, Dou Yi's face was stunned, the name thorn turned purple, and the purple made people shine, he quickly reached out and took it.
In the end, he stood up, threw his son aside, and hurriedly said, "Quick, please come in, no, the old man will go himself." As he spoke, he straightened his clothes a little, and walked out of the back house in three steps and two steps, and came to the front hall.
"Xiaguan Dou Yi pays a visit to Lord Cen." He looked at the somewhat thin figure in the distance, but it was Cen Wenwen, a scholar of the Tang Wude Palace, and he didn't expect Cen Wenwen to come late at night. This made him a little uneasy, and it was a strange thing in itself to let the Martial Arts Hall Scholar come in person late at night.
"Lord Dou doesn't have to be polite, you and I are ministers in the same hall. Why bother. Cen Wenwen also helped him up, and a warm smile appeared on his face, which made Dou Yi's nervous mind suddenly let go a lot. This was the case with Cen Wenwen, whose smile was inherently relatable, and even his enemies had to agree with it.
"Adults came late at night. Don't know what's going on? The two chatted in the hall for a long time, Dou Yi finally couldn't bear it anymore, after this Cen Wenwen came in, he didn't say anything, just said some wind and snow, in Chang'an City, who doesn't know that you Cen Wenwen is a person who abides by the courtesy of a gentleman, and he hasn't even been to Qinglou or anything like that, is it interesting for you to talk to me about Fenghua Xueyue? Finally. Dou Yi began to ask.
Cen Wenwen said with a smile: "Lord Dou, do you know how many scholars there are in the Wude Palace?" ”
"I heard that there should be one less person." Dou Yi was stunned in his heart, and soon turned over a monstrous wave, does this martial arts hall scholar have anything to do with him? Or that the emperor is ready to promote the Wude Hall Scholar, this Lord Cen took a fancy to other people and let him vote. If so, I don't know who Lord Cen voted for?
"I don't know who Lord Dou thinks is the most suitable person?" Cen Wenwen whispered.
"This, the lower official position is humble and shallow. Where do you know who is the best fit? Dou Yi thought for a while and said, "I don't know how Lord Wei Zheng Wei is?" Lord Wei often pinpoints the disadvantages of the times. Outspoken, resolute and decisive, maybe he can be a scholar of the Wude Temple? ”
"The scholar of the Wude Hall is not the Imperial History Tower, Lord Wei is good at everything, but this temper can't stay in the Wude Palace." Cen Wenwen shook his head with a smile and said, "Actually, I went to see Your Majesty yesterday. Your Majesty has someone in mind. ”
"Oh. I don't know? Ahem! The lower official was abrupt, this kind of thing is not something that the lower official can ask. Dou Yi wanted to know who this person was, but when he thought of his official position, he quickly took back the words he blurted out, and an embarrassed smile appeared on his face.
Cen text see this. There was a hint of disappointment on his face, Dou Yi's personality made him relatively weak in the officialdom, it is rumored that Dou Yi is above the court, Mo said that he is a scholar, even if it is a petty official who does things below, he is full of smiles after seeing it, saying that it sounds good, it is affinity, and it is ugly, it is called cowardice, which official in the court will be afraid of him Dou Yi? If this person joins the Wude Palace, I'm afraid it will also be a wonder! Is there still majesty in the Wude Palace? Cen Wenwen's expectations for Dou Yi were even smaller.
"The emperor has taken a fancy to you." Cen Wenwen sighed.
Dou Yi was stupid when he heard it, as if he was struck by a thunderbolt, the boss with his mouth open, sat there quietly, and didn't react for a long time, he never thought that he would become a candidate in Li Xin's heart, his heart was excited, his lips trembled, he followed Li Xin, not only became an official, but also was made a marquis, and now he wants to become a scholar of Wude Palace. All of this was given by Li Xin, and he promoted himself from a businessman to the position of a scholar of the Wude Palace, and Dou Yi never thought of it.
You must know that in the Tang Dynasty, even if you are crowned a marquis and a prince, you don't have the seven positions of Wude Hall scholars to make people more respectful, this is the pinnacle of people's ministers, not everyone can enjoy it.
However, after a burst of excitement, Dou Yi quickly understood that Cen Wenwen came definitely not to congratulate him, and immediately arched his hand and said, "My lord, do you think there is anything wrong?" ”
"What you need to do now is to pray that it will rain in the heavens soon, if it rains, your position as a scholar of the Wude Hall can be determined, if not, I'm afraid, even if the emperor lets people enter the Wude Palace, you will have to resign. Because the imperial court needs Kanto. Cen Wenwen sighed for a while and said, "Cui Junsu and Zheng Jibo of the Kanto region may become scholars of Wude Temple, and even Zheng Renji is also possible. But it can't be you. ”
Dou Yi's face was stunned for a moment, and he quickly understood the meaning of Cen Wenwen's words, nodded immediately, was silent for a while, and finally sighed for a lifetime, and said, "Lord Cen, why is it so difficult for a businessman to be an official?" Do you have to be a scholar to become an official? There are many talented people among the merchants! ”
"Everyone has their own opportunities, and businessmen can naturally be officials, otherwise, there will be no existence for you. It's just that every place has its own rules, businessmen have their domain, and scholars naturally have scholars' domains, and you businessmen all come to be officials, so what should you do with scholars? Cen Wenwen comforted: "However, aren't you doing very well now?" The manager of Datang Qianzhuang can be said to be Datang's money bag. It shows that the emperor attaches great importance to you. Remember, Dou Yi, if you really enter the Wude Hall one day, your temper will have to be changed. It's not too early, and it's time for me to take my leave. Saying that, he stood up and walked out of Dou Mansion by himself, and Dou Yi went to the door until he came back. (To be continued.) )
