Chapter 132

The Principality of Lai.

It was Du Ruhui, the founding hero of the Tang Dynasty, who closed the house. In the process of Li Shimin's eastern and Western conquest to calm the world, Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling can be described as Li Shimin's right-hand men. They made great contributions and were called Fang cunduduan.

However, Tian was jealous of talents. In the fourth year of Zhenguan, Du Ruhui died of illness, and Li Shimin was posthumously granted the title of Duke Lai,

Merton looked at the magnificent Laiguo mansion and couldn't help sighing. He really had different lives. After his cheap Lao Tzu died, no one paid attention to the Mo mansion, but the Du family was still rewarded and favored.

Not only did Du Gou's official fortune prosper, but even his second son, Du he, would also be made a prince-in-law. Princess Shang Chengyang would not have lost his life and implicated the Du family if the unlucky man had not died himself and participated in Li Chengqian's rebellion. Otherwise, the Du family's achievements would be rich and valuable in a hundred years.

"Dong Dong Dong!"

Install the front buckle door.

"Who!"

An impatient voice sounded from behind the door. The door slowly opened half a door. A gray haired porter looked at Merton and Tie'an impatiently.

As the saying goes, in front of the prime minister's door, Du Ruhui is a seven grade official. Although Du Ruhui died, the Du house is still honored, and the porter of the Du family is still very proud.

"Please also inform me that Mohist Merton came to paint the portrait of Lingyan Pavilion of the Duke of Lai, which was notified in advance yesterday." tie an arched his hand.

After nearly a month's painting, Merton finally painted 20 of the 24 meritorious heroes of Lingyan Pavilion, and the remaining four are the most rare. Because these meritorious heroes have already died, Merton arranged them to the end.

Merton usually gives notice in advance of his paintings and makes an appointment to prevent time conflict. Merton reported to Du Fu in advance yesterday. Today, he came to discuss painting matters.

"Please go back! The young master said, I'm not tired of painting!" the porter of Du mansion waved impatiently.

After Du Ruhui's death, his eldest son Du Gou inherited the title. However, because Du Gou has been an official outside for many years, the second son Du he is the real leader of the Laiguo government, and the young master mentioned in the gatekeeper's mouth is obviously Du he.

With a frown, Merton couldn't help thinking of the scene in the church secretary's workshop that day when Aunt Gongsun and Du he were angry. Obviously, this was Du he's revenge,

"It was your Majesty's order to draw the portrait of Lingyan Pavilion, which is also related to the glory of Lord Lai's life. How can you decide for your master as a small concierge?" Merton said coldly.

"Joke, the master has been dead for four years, but you come to the door to paint today. Don't you laugh off your big teeth?" the Porter said.

"Since Mo took over the task and dared to go to the door, he is naturally sure to draw a portrait of Lord Lai. If you delay your Majesty's important affairs, can a small concierge bear the responsibility?" Merton looked coldly at the superior concierge.

"You..." the porter was speechless. Of course he couldn't bear the responsibility. If he really blamed him later, Du he might be fine, but he must be.

"If you don't want to draw, let duho tell me in person!" Merton shouted.

"Yes, yes!"

The porter quickly closed the door and went to report in panic.

………………

"What are you talking about? The Mohists will stay outside the door before they leave!" Du he, who had just got up, was surprised when he heard the report from the porter.

"Young master, the Mohist said, let the young master say whether to draw or not. If it's small, it doesn't count." the porter whispered.

"Waste, this thing is not done well!" Du he scolded angrily at the porter.

"Little damn!"

The concierge looked terrified. In fact, he was greatly relieved. It was really not something he could get involved in. He was lucky to take himself out.

"Mo Jiazi, if you dare to come to Du Fu to fish for fame and reputation, don't blame me for not leaving you a little affection!" Du Helian snorted.

Everyone knows that the portraits of Lingyan Pavilion painted by Mohist Zi to all officials are painted by real people, which makes them so lifelike and very similar.

But his father Du Ruhui has been dead for four years. Four years ago, mojiazi was still starving in Mojia village. Where have you seen Du Ruhui, how can you paint for mojiazi.

Therefore, Du he didn't believe that Merton's real purpose was to draw a portrait. He thought that Merton's visit was just perfunctory and fishing for fame and reputation. In addition, he and Merton lost their previous fight with Gongsun girl in the education department workshop, and suddenly new hatred and old hatred were together, which led to the farce today.

"Hey! Please calm down, young master. The Mo family is ordered by the emperor. It's also related to the event of the master's going to Lingyan Pavilion. I'm afraid it's wrong to be hostile to the Mo family!"

Du mansion housekeeper Liang Bo repeatedly advised.

Liang Bo is an old man of Du family. He has been following Du Ruhui all the time. He looks at the Du family most thoroughly. Don't look at the reverence of the Laiguo government. Since Du Ruhui died, the status of the Du family has plummeted. It's unwise to make friends with the ink family at this time!

"Don't worry, uncle Liang. Without butcher Zhang, you'll have to eat a pig with hair? There are many people who can draw in the world. I have only a plan!" Du he sneered.

Outside the government of Lai,

Du he led a group of servants and rushed to the door. Seeing Merton at the door, he was angry and shouted: "son of the Mo family, you came to my Du family to act wildly and humiliate my father. Did you deceive me that there was no one in the Du family?"

Iron Ann saw that the situation was bad and immediately turned back to protect Merton behind her.

Merton looked at Du he with disgust. This fool, no wonder later generations have hurt Du Fu miserably and caught up with Du Ruhui's great name.

Merton pushed away Tie'an, faced Du he and said, "the Marquis came under the emperor's orders. Who dares to move a hair of the marquis."

In terms of status, he is the newly granted founding County Marquis, and Du he is just a county Duke. In terms of righteousness, he came to Du house under the order of the emperor. None of them was offended by a small servant, even the servant of the prime minister's family.

Hearing Merton's words, the dintons looked flustered and became timid.

"Young master, calm down!" Liang Bo hurriedly advised.

Although Du he hated Merton to the bone, he was not stupid. He knew that this was not the time to avenge his personal revenge. He took the opportunity to step down under the persuasion of Liang Bo.

"Mojiazi, you're lucky this time!" Du he said ruthlessly.

"Ben Hou has always been very lucky. Don't worry about it. Ben Hou will ask you whether the portrait of Duke Lai has been painted or not." Merton pressed his airway.

"My father's portrait is only a plan, don't bother you." Duhe said word by word.

Merton sneered and said, "I hope you don't regret it."

Then he turned and left with tiean.

"If I regret it, I'll take your last name!" Du he sneered.

Soon, with the spread of people with intentions, the news that Du he drove out mojiazi spread all over Chang'an city. One was the vigorous mojiazi and the other was the son of the former prime minister.

The whole city of Chang'an immediately talked about it, but most people stood on Du he's side. After all, no one believed that Mozi could draw a portrait of someone he had never seen before.
