Therefore, when the temperature of the recirculated exhaust gas is increased in {HEAD ~ order} to make the temperature of the filter 28 rise, simultaneously the opening degree of the exhaust gas recirculation control valve 4 b is increased such that the exhaust gas recirculation rate, i.e., {TAIL ~ the amount} of NOx discharged from the engine 1 is held substantially constant
