Traveling through Du He, Li Chengqian's rebellion begins

Du He slowly raised his head and saw an ordinary-looking middle-aged official standing at the door, so he nodded at him.

"come in."

Looking at Li Chunfeng who strode in, Du He narrowed his eyes slightly.

Unlike Yuan Tiangang, who has an immortal look, Li Chunfeng looks like an ordinary man, the kind that would not stand out in a crowd.

Li Chunfeng walked up to Du He, knelt on the ground, and then saluted respectfully.

"Thank you, Mr. Han, for your support!"

"Without your wise words, I would not be able to be promoted from a military officer to a Grand Historian!"

As he spoke, the short beard under the corner of his mouth was still trembling slightly.

He wasted nearly twenty years in the Taishi Bureau before he climbed to the ninth rank of Jiangshilang, and was even nicknamed a madman by his colleagues.

But after hearing a few words from Duke Han Guo, Yuan Tiangang strongly recommended himself as the Grand Historian.

Who dares to think?

As a fortune teller, he had no way of predicting that he would have such a gain.

When Du He heard Li Chunfeng emphasize his previous official position, his brows jumped suddenly.

what!

Li Chunfeng previously served as a military official?

He jumped from a ninth-rank Jiangshilang to a fifth-rank Taishiling, a promotion of 16 small levels!

And he is also in charge of the entire department of the Taishi Bureau!

No wonder Li Chunfeng was so excited.

Who wouldn’t be confused when encountering such a great thing that falls from the sky?

Du He said with a smile, "Li Chunfeng, I see that you are well versed in astronomy, calendar calculation, yin and yang, and Taoism. You are a promising talent, so I am promoting you vigorously."

"Later, I will also plan to establish the Institute of Gewu, and when that happens, you will be in charge of the Astronomy and Calendar Department."

that's nice!

Li Chunfeng clenched his fists excitedly.

He didn't expect that he would be valued by Duke Han just by giving a small gift. Now he can finally make a name for himself!

The divination I had calculated before was correct, my benefactor was indeed Duke Han Guo!

Li Chunfeng patted his chest and replied, "Don't worry, Lord Han Guo. I'm quite knowledgeable in astronomy and calendars, and I will definitely not let you down!"

"If I observe any dangerous signs, I will report them to you first!"

Hearing Li Chunfeng's words, Du He smiled slightly.

This guy is really cautious. Even the words about joining me were so vague.

Du He slowly stood up and said, "Get up! The Institute of Gewu will take another half month to establish. I look forward to your subsequent wonderful performance!"

"promise!"

Li Chunfeng kowtowed again in response.

In front of the noble man Du He, Li Chunfeng kept a low profile and did not dare to be negligent in the slightest.

Then Du He chatted with him for a while and told him that he valued him very much. Only then did Li Chunfeng leave the Ministry of Revenue happily.

"hehe!"

"All the charlatans are cunning!"

Du He sighed, then took the rice paper provided by the Gewuyuan department and walked towards the East Palace.

Both Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng are quick-witted people.

The most important point is that neither of them is pedantic.

It’s not enough to make a cup of tea.

Du He came to Mingde Hall and told Li Chengqian in detail what Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng had talked about with him.

After listening.

Li Chengqian was shocked and asked, "Du He, since Yuan Tiangang accepted Zhangsun Wuji's generous gift, why is he still showing goodwill towards you?"

"Could it be that Yuan Tiangang wants to have the best of both worlds?"

Logically speaking, Yuan Tiangang should have kept such a wrong thing to himself and not dared to tell anyone about it.

Why did he fall into the trap?

Du He smiled and said, "Yuan Tiangang said that he calculated that a fatal calamity was approaching, and that the source of the calamity was me. He was worried that if the truth was revealed, it would endanger his life and the lives of his family. It's normal for him to play both sides."

"It's just that Zhangsun Wuji suffered a lot. All his plans were exposed."

Hearing Du He's words, Li Chengqian nodded with satisfaction.

From Yuan Tiangang's actions, it can be seen that he knew that Zhangsun Wuji and others would never succeed, and his position as the crown prince was unshakable.

He does have quite a keen eye!

Followed by.

Du He changed the subject and said, "Your Highness, I have already laid out the general framework of the Institute of Gewu, and I will gradually fill in the subsequent small details."

"Would you mind checking for me and seeing if any adjustments are needed?"

What?

He is here to guard the Gewu Academy?

Li Chengqian quickly waved his hand and said, "Du He, just take care of it yourself. I am far inferior to you in the study of things."

"If you think clearly about what the Institute of Gewu wants to do, I will directly issue the seal for you."

"You decide how much silver you need."

Except for Du He, all the civil and military officials in the court did not have a thorough understanding of the study of things.

Since Du He is an expert, just let him make the full decision.

Du He curled his lips and said, "Okay..."

After finishing their business, the two began to enjoy the delicious meal.

After eating and drinking, Du He saw the Crown Princess walking into the hall with a big belly, and he immediately stood up and saluted.

"See Crown Princess."

Su Wan smiled warmly and said, "We are all family, Prince Consort Du, there is no need to be polite."

As the strongest assistant under her husband's command, and now Du He, who is in a high position of power, Su Wan did not put on the slightest airs of a Crown Princess.

Seeing that Su Wan and Li Chengqian had something to say, Du He didn't stay here for long, but bowed and said goodbye and left.

...

As the various court departments became busy, the court once again fell into a long-lost atmosphere of tranquility.

During this period, apart from occasionally inquiring about the progress of tax reform, the distribution of birth subsidies, and spot-checking the financial statements of various states and counties, Du He spent most of his time improving the Gewu Academy.

While various departments of the imperial court were busy, Bingzhou was as calm as a stagnant pool of water.

Bingzhou.

County Prince's Mansion.

Li Zhi and Chang Sun Chong sat in the spacious lobby. Neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere seemed a little awkward.

After a long time.

Chang Sun Chong whispered, "Your Highness, in order to accomplish great things, my father asked you to relocate Wu Meiniang to another prefecture."

"Otherwise, once this matter is exposed, you will probably be severely punished!"

Hearing Chang Sun Chong's commanding tone, Li Zhi felt a little unhappy.

But there was a smile on his face.

Li Zhi narrowed his eyes and said, "Don't worry, cousin. I have already relocated Mei Niang to another prefecture, and the princess will not continue to cause trouble."

nailed it?

Wouldn't that be a wasted trip for him?

When Chang Sun Chong heard Li Zhi's remarks, he looked as uncomfortable as if he had eaten a fly.

There was silence for more than ten breaths.

Chang Sun Chong bowed and said, "Your Highness, since you have already made arrangements, there are no hidden dangers in this matter. Now we just need to wait for the opportunity!"

Li Zhi frowned and said, "Cousin, can Li Junxian really be of use to us?"

He already knew Changsun Wuji's next plan, and after several failed actions, he also had doubts in his heart.

Chang Sun Chong shook his head: "Your Highness, we can only give it a try. If we succeed, that would be the best. If we fail, that would be our fate."

After hearing what Changsun Chong said, Li Zhi became even more pessimistic about this plan.

The two chatted for another half an hour, and Chang Sun Chong hurried back to Chang'an.

Li Zhi sat in the lobby for a while, then turned and walked towards the backyard.

Walk into an independent courtyard.

Li Zhi saw a cold, elegant and noble woman holding a collection of poems and reading it with a tranquil expression on her face, and his heart melted instantly.

After walking over and seeing the contents of the poetry collection, Li Zhi's tone was full of jealousy.

"Meiniang."

"You've read Du He's poems countless times, aren't you tired of them yet?"
