Traveling through Du He, Li Chengqian's rebellion begins

"We will go all out to help your majesty create a great era!"

Civil and military officials shouted loudly again.

Most of the court officials were not that interested in what the Crown Prince and the King of Wei came up with.

Printing technology and books on flood control are already available and can be used.

But working with Li Shimin to create a great prosperous era is closely related to them.

Therefore, they were more active when shouting slogans.

After retiring from court.

Fang Yiai came closer again, smacked his lips, and started talking again, feeling itchy.

"Tsk tsk tsk, Du He never thought that you would be named General Yunhui by His Majesty!"

"The lance and spear are both very heavy. Can you lift them?"

Du He glanced at him and said with a smile, "Fang Lao Er, do you want to go to Liaodong to have some fun too?"

"Uh... excuse me for bothering you. Bye."

Fang Yiai's face changed slightly and he ran away.

Du He looked at his funny back, shook his head, then stood up and walked out of the Tai Chi Hall.

Outside the hall, a eunuch was standing by holding a tray waiting. When he saw Du He coming out, he spoke quickly.

"Prince Consort Du, this is your new robe and official belt. Please wear your new robe when you go to court tomorrow."

Du He was verbally appointed as General Yunhui by Li Shimin yesterday. After he returned, the Ministry of Shangshu also went through the personnel appointment process and only notified the people in the Shangfu Bureau in the morning.

After Du He took the robe and official belt, he smiled and thanked him, "Thank you very much."

Looking at the lavender official robe in his hand, Du He felt calm.

When the day comes when I become the minister of three provinces and six ministries, and then wear this purple robe, I will truly deserve the title.

When he arrived at the gate of Chongwenguan in the Eastern Palace, Du He heard Li Chengqian's voice coming from inside.

"Mr. Liao Jun, you have made great contributions in overall planning, and I will reward you with 50 strings of cash."

"Mr. Zhong Xun, as the deputy, you will be rewarded with 40 strings of cash."

"..."

"Decorator Chen Cong, for assisting in the production of the printing plate and for carving 80 movable reverse characters, is rewarded with 5 strings of cash."

After Li Chengqian announced the reward, there was an instant burst of gratitude.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for the reward!"

When their shouts gradually died down, Du He pushed open the door and walked in with a smile on his face.

"Prince Du."

The scholars all greeted Du He.

The excitement on his face could not be suppressed at all.

Du He nodded at them and said with a smile: "I really envy you guys, you have rewards, but I have nothing."

After saying that, he stretched out his hand to Li Chengqian, winked and said, "Your Highness, where is my reward?"

"Haha."

The crowd burst into laughter when they saw Prince Consort Du pretending to be pitiful and asking the prince for money.

Li Chengqian looked at Du He in silence, shook his head and said, "All of them, you are the first meritorious, I will reward you with 200 strings of cash."

"so little?"

"Do you want it? If not, I can save another 200 strings of cash."

"Yes, why not?"

Mosquitoes are meat no matter how small they are.

Du He pouted and said, "Your Highness, His Majesty has rewarded you with a coin casting furnace, but you are still so stingy."

"The fire in the coin-making furnace hasn't even started yet. I have to pay for it out of my own pocket now."

Li Chengqian was frowning.

The copper mine that his father rewarded him with has not yet started mining, and it will take at least three to five months before coins can be minted.

There was a lot of noise.

Li Chengqian said to the scholars, "You have worked hard during this period. I will give you three days off. Have a good rest."

"I'll arrange for someone to deliver the money to your door later."

He still needed to keep the silver ingots in the warehouse, so he could only distribute the money to this group of people.

One guan weighs about 1 jin, and 8 guan weigh almost 20 jin. Without a carriage to transport it, they could not carry it back at all.

"Thank you, Your Highness. I will take my leave now."

After paying their respects, the scholars returned happily.

After everyone left, Li Chengqian said with a serious face: "Du He, the recruitment of soldiers in Hedong Road has ended, and the list of soldiers will be sent over within three days."

"Great!"

Du He waved his fist excitedly.

On the side, Li Chengqian was full of doubts. He didn't know why Du He wanted to see the list of recruits.

And can you tell who is more powerful just by looking at the names?

If Du He had this ability, Yuan Tiangang, the charlatan, would probably have no work to do.

Wude Hall.

Prince of Wei Li Tai was studying with Kong Yingda. At the moment, his eyes were wandering and absent-minded, as if he was worried about something.

Unexpectedly, just as he presented the "Record of Flood Control" to his father, the prince presented movable type printing technology.

Moreover, the emperor also rewarded the prince with a coin-minting furnace and a copper mine!

In comparison, the Hibiscus Garden and the little gold and silver bestowed upon him by his father seemed too shabby.

"Father is too partial!"

Li Tai was full of dissatisfaction with Li Shimin and was extremely jealous of the rewards received by the prince.

Thinking about how his request to his father to handle government affairs was rejected, and the prince becoming gradually wise, Li Tai began to feel worried.

"Snapped!"

Kong Yingda threw the book in his hand onto the table.

He said with an unhappy look on his face: "Your Highness Prince Wei, why are you always distracted today?"

Li Tai, who was thinking about something, was startled by Kong Yingda's action.

Li Tai narrowed his eyes and said with a somewhat unhappy expression: "Kong Yingda, why are you reacting so strongly? You scared me!"

His attitude towards Kong Yingda was relatively good. If anyone else threw things in front of him, they would definitely be severely punished.

"King Wei, you..."

When Kong Yingda heard Li Tai calling him by his name, he became so angry that his face turned blue, as he always emphasized respecting his teachers.

Seeing Kong Yingda's expression, Li Tai's eyes jumped, and he quickly bowed to him and said, "Master Kong, I was just scared and called you by your name by accident. Please don't call me weird."

"I was just thinking about something just now, and I won't do it again next time."

Hearing Li Tai sincerely admit his mistake, Kong Yingda's expression eased a little.

He had a stern face and a didactic tone: "Your Highness, Prince of Wei, are you unhappy because the Crown Prince's reward is higher than yours?"

Seeing that Li Tai did not deny it, he continued to persuade: "Your Highness, the prince is the heir to the throne, and what he improved is the printing technology, which has a very important role in the imperial examination and cultural education."

"The Crown Prince has made great contributions. Your Majesty's reward to him is reasonable. Why do you have to hold a grudge against him?"

Although Kong Yingda was dissatisfied with being impeached by Du He and dismissed from his position as the prince's teacher, he had no prejudice against the prince.

Judging from his achievements this time, he was speaking fairly and did not favor the prince.

Kong Yingda's words irritated Li Tai. He showed some anger on his face and spoke in a cold voice.

"Master Kong, what nonsense are you talking about?"

"When did I ever say I was jealous of the prince's reward?"

"As a great scholar and my teacher, how can you make random guesses and make unwarranted accusations?"

Li Tai is not Li Chengqian, who dares not talk back when being bullied.

Kong Yingda looked as if he had seen through you. He shook his head and said, "Your Highness, the King of Wei, a gentleman is open and honest, while a villain is always worried. Why do you have to deceive yourself?"

"You were doing well in the morning when we were discussing academic matters, but in the afternoon, after hearing about His Majesty's reward to the Crown Prince, you became inattentive and unhappy."

Being smart is a good thing, but being too smart is a bad thing.

"boom!"

Li Tai slammed the table heavily and stood up with a sullen face.

He pointed at Kong Yingda's nose and said, "Master Kong, I respect you as a great scholar of the dynasty, so I invited you to the Prince of Wei's Palace to be my teacher."

"You have to put yourself in the right place. Don't say things that shouldn't be said!"

A small minister dares to be so arrogant. He really doesn't know his own weight.

How dare you reveal his secrets in front of him? That's outrageous!
