Chapter 275 Du Wans simple request
Two little brats who dont understand anything. Now he is on his way to see the emperor.
Du Qian turned his head and asked his sister, "Sister, uncle asked us to catch Wu Qian. If we fail to do it, go see him. Do you think we will get scolded?"
"I can't do it, but you can." Du Wan said firmly, "The person my uncle has entrusted with important tasks is you, not me."
Du Qian looked at her with resentment, "My sister doesn't love my elder brother anymore?"
Does it hurt to be scolded on your behalf? Du Wans eyes made it clear that it didnt hurt at all.
Du Qian hugged her shoulders and rubbed her head vigorously, ruffling her hair into a mess. Du Wan was so angry that she gritted her teeth and chased Du Qian, beating her.
The brother and sister came to the imperial study room, noisily.
Du Qian did not let the **** report it, but called a palace maid to take Du Wan to freshen up first.
In the end, Du Wan didn't agree, "Why don't you freshen up? Do your work first, and then go home and lie down after you finish."
Arent you afraid of being charged with misconduct in front of the palace?
"Well?"
Next, Du Wan followed the palace maid to freshen up.
When she came out, Du Qian had also washed himself, and his robes were neat and meticulous.
The two of them went to see the emperor.
The emperor had known that they were coming, so he ran to freshen up in order to see him. Finally, when the two people came over, he felt that they had lost some weight. "You guys really made me wait."
"Hehe, this is the fault of the eldest brother. He insists on saying that he must not be disobedient in front of the palace. He wants me to wash up and come back to see my uncle." Du Wan kept complaining, "Uncle, you may not know that before you come, On the way, my eldest brother was worried that he would be scolded for not completing the task. I couldnt scold me even if I wanted to, so he became so angry that he rubbed my head like a chicken coop..."
Du Qian stood aside with an indulgent smile on his face, looking like a good big brother.
The emperor listened to her carefully. The little girl was very annoying, but she never tired of listening.
Hearing the end, the emperor laughed out loud.
Du Qian took the opportunity to hand the compiled booklet to the emperor.
After explaining the situation, Du Qian added: "These three are the only ones left. Not to mention the other two, Wu Qian doesn't seem to have taken the bait now. Sooner or later, his family will take action. Then the emperor will decide how he wants to... You can ask for whatever money you want."
Nearly said "blackmail"!
Fortunately, the emperor didn't pay attention to this little detail.
Du Wan understood now that Wu Qian was a big fish and it was up to the emperor to deal with it.
Wu Qian thought he was smart, but he was actually the stupidest.
When the emperor personally comes to resolve the matter, Wu Qian will not only have to hand over his private property, but his family may also be plundered. What Du Wan and Du Qian had done previously had set the stage for the emperor, waiting for the next drama.
Du Wan asked doubtfully: "How do you know that the Wu family will definitely protect Wu Qian?"
"Silly sister, the Wu family has benefited a lot from relying on Wu Qian over the years. Wu Qian must have something against them." Du Qian explained to her.
Du Wan nodded, "We have retired after our success, and the rest will be left to my uncle."
So the two brothers and sister looked at the emperor in unison.
In the eyes of the emperor, they were like two big dogs, waiting for some benefit from him.
How could the emperor not understand what they meant?
Although they did not directly defeat Wu Qian, the current situation is better than if they did it directly, and they should indeed be rewarded.
The emperor asked: "What do you want?"
Brother, come first. Du Wan touched Du Qian with her elbow.
Du Qian thought about it and said, "Uncle, I want to build a city wall in my fiefdom."
"It's either a big mountain or a wasteland, and there are not even a few villages. Why build a city wall?" The emperor either refused to agree or was confused about his decision. Building a city wall will definitely cost a lot of money, be expensive, laborious, and thankless.
Having too much money, do you feel panicked?
Du Qian's face showed confusion at the right time, "I don't know, I just want to enclose it. Anyway, the place is not big, so we can just build it slowly. As for the villages inside, they don't belong to the Du family. I want to move them out." , if you dont want to move away, you can stay and work for me. The emperor was a little speechless.
Ningcheng didnt even want this guy, but Dujiajie.
Not to mention the small size of the fiefdom, 90% of it was made up of mountains and wasteland, and the tax revenue from more than a dozen villages amounted to only one or two thousand taels per year, so the emperor didn't pay attention at all. This time, the Du Qian brothers and sisters replenished the national treasury with a fraction of the money they needed to pay taxes for hundreds of years.
The emperor was very generous and said, "Okay. The land will be yours in the future, and all taxes will be waived."
Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace. Du Qian quickly thanked him.
Du Wan blinked, "Are you going to issue an imperial edict?"
"I definitely want this." Du Qian answered immediately. Without an imperial edict, it is not official.
The emperor smiled and ordered people to draft the decree.
Then it was Du Wan's turn, and both of them were waiting for her to say what she wanted.
Du Wan said with a bright smile: "My request is very simple. Except for the emperor's uncle, I don't have to kneel down to salute anyone I see in the future. Hehe, I also need to issue an imperial edict. It should be more formal and officially recognized, preferably Let everyone in the entire capital know."
The emperor was very surprised. This request was indeed very simple, as long as he said a word.
Du Qian raised his finger and poked her head, "Silly sister, you are the princess. The only one who can make you kneel down and worship is the emperor's uncle. If you said this request, it means you didn't say it."
Du Wan:
Confused? !
Is that so?
The emperor laughed.
That is indeed the case. Even if Du Wan sees the queen, she usually only needs to bow and bow.
Du Wan looked at the emperor resentfully, "Uncle, I want to change my request."
Tell me and listen. The emperor did not agree at all.
"I want to stay in Daqin without bowing to anyone I see except my uncle." Du Wan was very persistent about this and was a little willful.
The emperor agreed immediately.
Since it does not involve him personally, there is no reason not to agree.
So the emperor ordered someone to draft an imperial edict.
When the brother and sister left the imperial study room, they walked farther away.
Du Qian asked in a low voice: "Sister, why did you make this request? There is no real benefit."
Nip in the bud. Du Wan said casually.
Then, she asked: "How can eldest brother make such a request?"
Du Qian glanced at her and imitated her tone and said, "Nip it in the bud."
Du Wan:
Are you no longer that dear sister-in-law?
The two people left the palace, and a carriage was prepared outside, as well as escorting guards.
Getting into the carriage, the two of them discussed the matter of fiefdom.
Du Qian said that he would use Huang Lian's silver to build the wall.
From now on, he has the final say over the fiefdom, which is equivalent to his own back garden.
Du Wan was a little envious, "Brother, how about I have time to go talk to my uncle and give me another fief? By the way, the land at Wangyue Tower is pretty good."
