Traveling through Du He, Li Chengqian's rebellion begins

Xiao Kai was a little calmer. He asked with a serious expression, "Brother Du, where should the food and clothes be transported to?"

Du He thought for a moment and said, "Let's ship it to Youzhou, which is closer to Goguryeo by land."

Youzhou is a large province in the north with a dense population and a prosperous economy. People from these aristocratic families have a large number of shops there, so it is convenient to transport goods to Youzhou for storage.

"no problem."

The Three Musketeers responded in unison again.

After a few rounds of tea, Cui Shenji winked and suggested, "Three brothers, today is a good day, shall we go to Baihua Tower to listen to music?"

"Um...didn't we just go there yesterday?"

Du He looked at him speechlessly.

This guy, his real interest is not in drinking.

I am quite addicted to the four great courtesans.

Although Du He was not interested, Wang Jingzhi and Xiao Kai's eyes were shining and their hearts were already drifting to Baihua Tower.

Cui Shenji glanced outside the gate, then patted Du He on the shoulder and whispered, "Brother Du, we had dinner yesterday, so we can't skip dinner today, right?"

"Let's go quickly. I'll light up all four of the most beautiful girls while it's still early."

When mentioning the four great courtesans, Choi Shen-ki swallowed his saliva as if recalling the taste.

That wonderful scene still remains in his heart.

Du He shook his head and said with a smile: "You guys go ahead. I will go to the East Palace later to tell the prince the good news."

Cui Shenji came over and pulled Du He's arm, urging him, "Brother Du, it's the same if we talk about this little thing tomorrow. Let's go... uh~"

Before he could finish his words, Choi Sun-ki was stunned.

Because at the entrance of the lobby, Princess Chengyang Li Yi and her maid were staring at him with anger on their faces.

When did Princess Chengyang come?

A chill instantly rose from my back.

Cui Shenji quickly let go of his hand, and together with Wang Jingzhi and Xiao Kai, he saluted towards Li Yi and said.

"Meet Her Royal Highness the Princess."

Li Yi said calmly, "No need to be polite."

Judging from her tone and attitude, she was obviously a little angry.

Cui Shenji quickly used the last of the Thirty-Six Strategies, which was to run away.

He winked at his two good brothers, then bowed to Li Yi and said, "Your Highness, we will not disturb you any longer. Goodbye."

After saying that, he ran out without even saying hello to Du He.

Wang Jingzhi and Xiao Kai were calmer. After they saluted Li Yi and greeted Du He, they followed him out at a leisurely pace.

At the gate of Princess Chengyang’s mansion.

"Whoo~"

Cui Shenji turned his head to look at the gate and let out a long sigh.

He patted his chest and whispered, "That was a close call."

Because of the incident caused by Fang Yiai, these princesses are now very irritable.

After Wang Jingzhi and Xiao Kai came out, the three of them got on their respective carriages and headed straight for Baihua Tower.

At their urging, the wheels turned rapidly.

Princess Chengyang's Mansion, in the lobby.

Li Yi walked up to Du He and pouted, "Husband, they took you to Baihua Tower again!"

"Hehe, I'm doing this to help His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. This won't happen again."

"Really?"

"Will your husband lie to you?"

"Ok."

Li Yi nodded, believing what her husband said.

The anger on his face also disappeared, replaced by a smile.

Behind her, Linglong pouted in disbelief.

The prince consort also promised last time that he would not go to Baihua Tower, but he went there anyway.

Sister Taozi is right, men’s words are lies.

Du He chatted with Li Yi for a while, and then went to the East Palace to inform Li Chengqian that Cui Shenji and others had agreed to provide manpower and food.

Hearing that Du He had asked Cui Shenji and the others to prepare extra food and clothing, he said with emotion.

"Du He, you are becoming more and more like a military advisor. You even thought of preparing for a rainy day. You are worthy of being my right-hand man!"

"This expedition to Goguryeo is the time for you to become famous!"

With a meticulous person like Du He around, there is no need to fear that villain King Wei would stab him in the back.

Du He's mouth twitched, and without listening to his flattery, he said goodbye and went back.

A few days passed quietly.

Secretary Province.

In the secretary-general's office.

Du He and his immediate superior Yan Shigu were making tea and chatting.

"Du Shaojian, nearly 40,000 copies of Hanyu Pinyin have been printed, and all of these books have been delivered to the Ministry of Personnel, who will take them to various prefectures and counties for teaching."

During this period, people from the Ministry of Personnel came to him every now and then to ask for books on "Hanyu Pinyin", which made him very anxious.

Even in his dreams, he would see people from the Ministry of Personnel coming to him to ask for books.

Fortunately, I delivered the books this morning and could finally have a good night's sleep.

After a pause, he continued, "The Chinese Dictionary has also started printing. At the current printing speed, it will be completed by mid-December."

Movable type printing saves a lot of time in making woodblocks compared to woodblock printing, and he also asked the Minister of Revenue Tang Jian for a large sum of money.

Not only did the printing workshop expand in scale, but dozens of staff were also added.

The printing speed is getting faster and faster now, and his mood is getting better and better every day.

Du He smiled and bowed to Yan Shigu, saying, "Sir Yan, I congratulate you in advance. His Majesty has promised us a reward for completing the printing task. It's settled!"

"Hahaha, we are happy together."

Yan Shigu stroked his beard and laughed heartily. He continued, "Du Shaojian, this is all thanks to you!"

The Secretariat, a low-income government agency, finally ushered in a wave of wealth thanks to Du He.

The group of old brothers below can also earn some money for their retirement.

While the two were chatting happily, an official from the Secretariat knocked on the door.

"Master Du, someone from the East Palace came to say that the Crown Prince wants to see you."

"Okay, I see."

Du He waved at him.

Then he stood up, clasped his fists towards Yan Shigu and said, "Sir Yan, I will go to the East Palace to meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince first."

Yan Shigu also stood up and nodded, saying, "His Royal Highness's business is more important. I'll be watching over the Secretariat, so you can rest assured."

In the past, he didn't take care of specific affairs, and the work was directed by his deputy, Secretary Shaojian.

He occasionally came over to take a look, listen to the secretary-general's report on the latest situation of the Secretariat, and then left.

Now that Du He has become the secretary-general, everything has turned upside down.

He had to do all the dirty and tiring work, as if Du He was the secretary-general. He would come every day to drink tea, take a walk and leave.

East Palace.

When Du He passed by the main hall, he found Li Chengqian discussing academic matters with Liu Li, the Imperial Court Minister.

Judging from the expressions on their faces, they must be having a pleasant conversation.

Du He's face was full of relief.

The prince's personal guard who went to the Secretariat called Du He and said, "Prince Consort Du, Xue Rengui and his wife are waiting in the side hall. His Highness the Crown Prince wants you to go over and see them first."

Du He's face lit up, and he nodded and said, "I can go there by myself, you ask someone to bring the fruit and pastries."

"Yes."

Donggong Qianniu led the guards to salute and left quickly.

Du He waved to Xi Junmai who was guarding outside the hall door.

Xi Junmai came over and bowed respectfully, saying, "Prince Consort Du."

Du He smiled and said, "Come with me to the side hall to meet a fierce general."

"it is good."

Xi Junmai knew that the fierce general that Prince Du was talking about was the tall man who had just arrived.

Warriors have strong intuition among each other, and Xi Junmai feels that the tall man's fighting power is probably not inferior to his.
