Traveling through Du He, Li Chengqian's rebellion begins

Jia Dunyi was originally the governor of Luozhou. He was persecuted by Zhang Liang because he exposed the illegal activities of Zhang Liang's adopted son. In the end, he saved him himself.

This man was not only a man of strong character, but he had also served as the governor of Cangzhou, Yingzhou and Luozhou.

Let him assist the officials in Yongzhou, and I can save myself some worries.

As for Xi Junmai, the General of the Left Guard and the Grand Commander of Sishui Road, his task was to cooperate with him in commanding the troops and complete the land tax reform.

A moment of silence.

Du He said softly, "Everyone, please introduce yourselves according to your official rank."

Downstairs in the lobby.

Jia Dunyi was the first to stand up: "Reporting to the governor of the Du Mansion, I am Jia Dunyi, the deputy governor of Yongzhou. My duty is to assist you in handling the affairs of Yongzhou."

Looking at Jia Dunyi, who looked in high spirits, Du He smiled and nodded at him.

This kind of capable and honest official is what he needs most at the moment.

After Jia Dunyi sat down, a tall middle-aged official stood up behind him.

He said in a clear voice: "Reporting to the governor of Dufu, I am Wang Renbiao, the chief officer of Yongzhou. My duties are to oversee household registration, taxation, and judicial affairs."

Not bad!

He is an official who takes care of practical matters.

Du He asked curiously, "Chapter Wang, are you from the Wang family of Taiyuan?"

Wang Renbiao bowed and replied, "To the governor of Du Mansion, I am from Qi County, Taiyuan, and my mother is the Grand Princess of Tongan."

It turns out to be a royal relative!

Princess Tongan is the only sister of Emperor Li Yuan, the retired emperor. Now she is worshipped by Li Shimin like an ancestor and is a person of high status and seniority.

Unexpectedly, the low-profile Wang Renbiao is actually the son of Princess Tongan.

Du Heduo asked, "Chapter Wang, do you have any sons serving in the Eastern Palace?"

With a status like Wang Renbiao, his eldest son would definitely serve in the Eastern Palace, and would start as a Qianniu Beishen, a position below the sixth rank.

But he knew all the Qianniu guards in the Eastern Palace, and there was no one with the surname Wang.

Wang Renbiao said shyly, "To the governor of Du Mansion, I have only one son, Wang Fangyi, who is now twenty-six years old."

"For some reason, I haven't entered the officialdom yet."

His wife, Li, was not on good terms with his mother. His strong-willed wife took their son to live in Mei County. Now his son practices martial arts at home every day, which makes him very worried.

As a son, he could not persuade his mother of noble status.

As a husband, he could do nothing about his wife, Li from Zhaojun.

On the first seat.

Du He smiled and said, "Chapter Wang, please call your son to Chang'an. I will recommend him to serve in the Eastern Palace."

Wang Fangyi!

He is a man of all talents, both civil and military!

I didn't expect that when I took office today, I could discover such a talented person as Wang Fangyi.

Wang Renbiao saluted excitedly and said, "Thank you, Mr. Du. I kowtow to you on behalf of my son!"

After he finished speaking, he knelt down with a thud, so fast that Du He couldn't react.

It turns out that Duke Han likes to promote people just as the rumors say!

He had heard from other colleagues before that Du He liked to promote young people, and many of his colleagues wanted to join Du He one day.

He didn't expect that he would come across this opportunity, and it was Du He who took the initiative to promote his offspring.

Such a great thing can only happen when there is smoke coming out of your ancestral graves.

Du He waved his hand and said, "Master Wang, there's no need to be so polite. Please get up quickly."

"Thank you, Mr. Du!" Wang Renbiao kowtowed again and then slowly stood up.

The surrounding officials looked at Wang Renbiao with envy, and their hearts were also full of desire.

It would be great if Duke Han could also help them!

Xi Junmai stood up and said, "Du Fu Mu, I am serving as the Sima of Yongzhou, responsible for assisting you in commanding the Yongzhou army."

"it is good!"

Du He nodded slightly.

Immediately afterwards, the Si Gong Canjun, Si Hu Canjun and others from Yongzhou stood up to introduce themselves and kept expressing their loyalty to Du He.

After the introduction.

Du He said in a loud voice: "Everyone, for the next period of time, you can just do things the same way as before."

"As long as you don't violate the principles and Tang laws, I won't interfere."

When the officials heard Du He say this, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

Although they didn't understand what the principles Du He meant, Du He asked them to do things the same way as before, which proved that Du He would not make a big fuss.

This is a great thing!

Du He waved his hand and said, "Jia Beijia, Wang Changshi, and Xi Sima will stay, and the rest of you can go back to your work."

All the officials stood up and saluted.

"I'll take my leave."

Before they left, they kept looking at the tall and burly Xi Junmai, their faces full of curiosity.

It is really puzzling that Xi Junmai, who was the General of the Left Guard and the Grand Commander of Sishui Road, actually came to Yongzhou to serve as a small Sima.

A moment of silence.

Du He said with a serious face, "Jia Beijia, Wang Changshi, I have other important matters to attend to next year. The affairs of Yongzhou, big and small, will be completed by the two of you working together."

"If you encounter any difficult problems, come to me for a decision."

this...

Jia Dunyi and Wang Renbiao were slightly stunned.

They didn't expect that Du He would actually delegate power to them. This showed how much trust he had in them!

Without the slightest hesitation, the two men stood up and saluted excitedly.

"Thank you, Du Fu Mu, for your trust!"

"Please rest assured, Du Fu Mu, we will definitely assist you in governing Yongzhou well!"

Du He gave them a few more instructions, then waved his hand and told them to go back to work.

In the spacious lobby, only Du He and Xi Junmai were left.

Du He said softly, "Jun Mai, there are 131 Zhechoufu in Yongzhou, with about 13 soldiers. You must take control of these soldiers as soon as possible."

"If there are any disobedient Zhechou Duwei, please submit a list to me and I will arrange for someone to remove them."

"The guards of Chang'an and Cuiwei Palace are all His Majesty's confidants. We cannot reach into their territory."

There were a total of 600 Zhechoufu in the Tang Dynasty, 131 of which were located in Yongzhou.

The main responsibility of these Zhechoufu was to protect the security of Chang'an.

Xi Junmai replied solemnly, "Don't worry, Lord Han, most of these palace soldiers are soldiers who conquered the Western Turks. They admire you very much!"

"With your prestige, Duke of Han, these soldiers will certainly not have second thoughts."

Hearing what Xi Junmai said, Du He shook his head slightly.

Many of the commanders of Yongzhou were veterans from the Prince of Qin's Palace. Their most loyal person was Li Shimin, not Crown Prince Li Chengqian.

His prestige can intimidate ordinary soldiers, but it cannot intimidate those generals.

Du He stood up and said, "Jun Mai, I need you to lead the troops to suppress the rebellion tomorrow. During this time, you will also need to train the soldiers."

"promise!"

Xi Junmai responded loudly.

Then Du He said a few more words to him, and then waved his hand to let Xi Junmai get back to work.

It is not a trivial matter to subdue 131 Zhechou Duwei.

Du He did not return to the Ministry of Revenue, but stayed in the Yongzhou Governor's Mansion and carefully checked various documents.

Du He returned to Princess Chengyang's Mansion just before the end of his shift.

...

Princess Chengyang's Mansion.

In the lobby.

Du He looked at the mountain of gifts, his face full of astonishment.

Why are there so many gifts?

Those big boxes are actually filled with gold and silver ingots?

Du He pointed at the gift and asked curiously, "Yier, what's going on here?"

"Ah!" Li Yi sighed deeply. She said helplessly, "A large group of officials sent you gifts, and inside each gift was a letter they wrote."

"I've already ordered the gates to be closed, but these people still threw gifts at the gate of the princess's mansion."
