The warriors started shouting again.
Li Junxian came over and said to Su Woyazi with no expression on his face: "Prince Su Woyazi, you better tell your subordinates to shut up, otherwise this general can't guarantee that those people will rush in and beat people!"
Su Woyazi: "..."
……
on the high platform.
Li Er asked, "How long will it take to start comparing boats?"
Chen Shuda said: "Your Majesty, there is still a stick of incense to compare the boat. Su Woyazi has already sent someone to urge him, but Du He, Duke of Huyi County, is nowhere to be seen, and neither is the boat of the Dream Group!"
Ok?
Li Er frowned.
The surrounding ministers also turned their heads to look for it.
But where is the figure of Du He.
"Could it be that Du He fell asleep?"
"It's unreasonable. This matter is a big one. Du He swore yesterday that he would win the competition, but now that the competition is about to start, Du He is nowhere to be found. What should we do?"
"The old man already knows that Du He only has the ability to brag, compared to boats? Even the skilled craftsmen in the Ministry of Industry can't help, what can he do?"
Even though Du Ruhui was present, many people jumped out to criticize Du He.
Du He's popularity in the court is really bad.
Yang Yuhua said: "Your Majesty, the matter of comparing boats is a matter of my Tang Dynasty's face. The Duke of Huyi County treats it like a joke, so don't take it to heart. Please issue a decree to punish me!"
"Your Majesty, I would like to go to Dream Group and invite the Duke of Huyi County!"
Li Er pondered: "Zhao Yang, go to Dream Group and bring Du He."
Everyone found that Li Er was not happy.
As soon as the words fell, I heard someone shouting not far away: "Give way, who is stepping on my foot..."
Everyone turned their heads to look, and saw Du He walking over from the crowd, looking at him with unkempt hair and torn clothes, he was burned in several places, and he was holding a big pancake in his hand, eating while walking .
Many people showed disgusted expressions.
"Why is Du He like this? Not only the people of Chang'an, but also foreign envoys are present for such a big event than a ship. Isn't this discrediting our Tang Dynasty?"
Someone whispered.
Li Er asked displeasedly: "Du He, why did you appear like this? Also, the boat race will start soon, why did you disappear for so long?"
Yang Yuhua secretly thought, hahaha, Du He, just wait to bear His Majesty's anger.
Du He stepped forward, held up the half-eaten cake, and handed it to Li Er, "Your Majesty, have you had breakfast? Would you like some? This is made in the canteen of my Dream Group. !"
Li Er had dark lines on his face.
"Du He, don't make excuses. Competing boats is a major national event now, but you have not appeared for a long time, and you are still unkempt. It really hurts the face of the Tang Dynasty. All the civil and military officials, the people of Chang'an, and even foreign envoys are waiting for you. Don't you want to give everyone an explanation?" Li Er asked in a deep voice.
Du He ate the remaining cakes in twos and twos, patted his chest, and said: "Your Majesty, I am wronged. It's not that I don't want to come early. It really took a lot of time to build the ship. In order to ensure that today's boat is safe, I brought a dream There are more than 300 people in the group. They started building the ship early yesterday morning, and it was not completed until before the incense stick. I didn't even have time to eat breakfast and change clothes, so I rushed here. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"
Only then did everyone suddenly realize that Du He's tattered clothes were not intentional, but were burned by the fire, and his unkempt appearance was not an act, but a lack of time.
Li Er said with some embarrassment: "Okay, I blamed you wrongly, come here, give me a seat, and prepare food for Huyi county magistrate!"
Li Er knew that today's boat was safe, so he was in a good mood.
Chen Shuda asked, "Magistrate of Huyi County, how dare you ask about your boat?"
"Oh? There!" Du He said, pointing to the Bahe River in the distance.
Everyone turned their heads to look.
Everyone tried to widen their eyes, but they couldn't see anything.
"Du He, are you playing tricks on us? You are deceiving the emperor!" Someone said indignantly.
Du He smiled, "Look again!"
"Boat, there's a... boat over there!"
Someone suddenly shouted.
Everyone widened their eyes again, and finally saw clearly that there was a broken boat that couldn't be smaller on the surface of the Bahe River.
The wreck was slowly coming this way.
There is a flag on the wrecked ship, with three large characters written on it: Richuan.
The hull is tattered, it is just a small wooden boat, and it is the kind that looks like it will fall apart at any time after years of wind and rain. It can seat up to four people.
Everyone almost fainted.
"Mr. Huyi County, is this the boat you spent all your time building?"
"Du He, if you dare to compare this wrecked ship with the treasured ship of Japan, I'll die in the water grass!"
"Mr. Huyi County, is this joke going too far?"
Everyone turned their heads and looked at Du He sitting on the chair with a look of embarrassment, and said one after another.
……
Chapter 631
Everyone said something to each other, wishing to pull Du He out and kick him a few times.
Everyone worked hard and donated [-] guan, but you just made such a junk thing worth less than [-] Wen?
Isn't this a liar?
"Du He, pay back the money!"
"Refund!"
"Give us our money back!"
Many people shouted loudly.
