Traveling through Du He, Li Chengqian's rebellion begins

Hey!

So arrogant?

Who is this daring prince?

Everyone in the court knows that Li Yuan has no eldest son and Shimin has no elder brother. This guy is really eager to die!

In that case, then fulfill his wish!

Du He had a cold face and walked quickly towards the prison where the sound came from.

Sun Fujia, who was following on the side, saw Du He's murderous look on his face and whispered to him helplessly.

"Duke Han, calm down, don't act impulsively!"

"These princes may have lost their minds, that's why they're talking nonsense here. Don't bother with them."

The case has obviously been closed and they only need to guard the imperial mausoleum, but these idiots still dare to speak nonsense and address His Majesty in such a frivolous tone.

Are they really not afraid of death?

Du He did not respond to Sun Fujia. In just over ten breaths, he arrived in front of a spacious and tidy prison.

Inside the prison.

An old prince wearing a purple official robe and with disheveled hair was cursing at the iron bars.

"Li Er, come here!"

"Why did you demote me to a commoner and confiscate my money?!"

"You ungrateful bastard, you're destroying the bridge!"

"This prince will smash his head against the wall and die in prison today. This prince will use his own blood to tell the Li clan that you are an ungrateful villain!"

"You will bear this infamy for the rest of your life!"

"..."

Good guy!

It's really like a frog being beaten with a steel pipe, awesome!

How much fake wine did this old man drink to be so arrogant in prison?

What's the point of threatening Li Shimin by threatening to kill himself?

The group of Dali Temple officials standing outside the iron gate were about to speak out to persuade him, but Du He just gave them a look.

Then Du He waved his hand, signaling them to retreat.

Sun Fujia introduced in a low voice: "Duke Han, the person imprisoned inside is Li Shenfu, Prince of Xiangyi. He is the younger brother of Li Shentong, Prince of Huai'an."

"This person once served as the Minister of Imperial Clan Affairs and has some influence among the Li clan members."

So this old man is Li Shenfu?

No wonder he dared to openly lead the boycott of the imperial court. He was quite courageous.

I just don’t know if his neck can withstand the executioner’s machete!

Pause for a moment.

Du He asked in a low voice, "What is your Majesty's attitude towards Li Shenfu?"

Sun Fujia thought for a moment and replied, "When the Prince of Xiangyi was serving as the Minister of Imperial Clan Affairs, he fell ill and later resigned from his post. Your Majesty has visited him at his residence many times."

"Because the Prince of Xiangyi was addicted to alcohol and later developed a foot disease that prevented him from walking properly, His Majesty always had his attendants carry him in a sedan chair whenever he was summoned to the palace for a ceremony."

Pause and count your breaths.

Sun Fujia concluded, "The Prince of Xiangyi has made contributions to the founding of the Tang Dynasty and is a member of the imperial family. Your Majesty respects him."

Du He frowned slightly when he heard Sun Fujia's introduction.

what's going on?

Can Li Shimin tolerate this guy's temper?

Could it be that Li Shimin treated him with such courtesy in order to help him stabilize the Li clan?

After all, Li Shimin ascended the throne by launching the Xuanwu Gate Incident, and his reputation within the royal family was very bad, so he needed the help of the Minister of Clan Affairs to clear his name.

After thinking about it for a while.

Du He then asked, "What is His Majesty's attitude towards him now?"

Sun Fujia shook his head: "I don't know."

He was just a minister and had no access to secrets of this level.

Besides, even Duke Hanguo himself doesn’t know, let alone people like them who only see His Majesty a few times a year.

At this moment, Li Shenfu turned around and walked to the iron gate, shaking it vigorously.

"Sun Fujia, you're here just in time!"

"Either you take me to see His Majesty, or ask His Majesty to come see us. I will not embarrass a subject like you. Please go and see His Majesty!"

While he was speaking, he looked at Du He with surprise.

What?

Not calling him Li Er anymore?

When Du He heard Li Shenfu's change of attitude, a look of disdain appeared on his face.

I thought this old man was very arrogant, but it turns out he only dared to pretend in front of ordinary officials and didn't even dare to put on airs in front of Sun Fujia.

Sun Fujia did not turn his head to answer Li Shenfu's question, but pointed at Du He and introduced him.

"Prince of Xiangyi, this is Duke Du He of Han, the highest-ranking official in charge of this case!"

"If you have any questions, feel free to report them to Mr. Han!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the prison fell into deathly silence.

The princes imprisoned in the surrounding prisons came to the iron gate one after another, shaking it vigorously and shouting loudly.

"Du He, let us out!"

"Why do you demote us to commoners and take our money? We want to see His Majesty!"

"We are not convinced!"

As these princes shouted loudly, the other prisoners in the prison all pricked up their ears and put their ears against the wall to eavesdrop.

The prison is bustling today, just like Chinese New Year.

Du He ordered Sun Fuga, "Sun Daliqing, tell these people that if they are still yelling after three breaths, each of them will be whipped ten times."

this...

Sun Fujia's expression was slightly stunned.

He cupped his hands and said, "I'll send someone to warn them right away!"

After being reminded by a group of Dali Temple officials, these princes were so angry that their faces turned purple, but after thinking of Du He's brutal methods, they still shut their mouths obediently.

This man is cruel and ruthless, and he has more than 100,000 troops under his command. He will really order them to be whipped.

In just a few breaths, the noisy prison returned to silence again.

Du He walked up to Li Shenfu and said, "Li Shenfu, you, a commoner, dare to yell at His Majesty. Are you seeking death?"

"Humph!"

Li Shenfu snorted heavily.

He stared at Du He with his eyes fixed on him and said in a deep voice, "Du He, although I have been demoted to a commoner, I am a relative of your majesty's uncle!"

"We called His Majesty that when he was little. Is it not okay for me to call His Majesty in the tone of an uncle?"

The brain is quite useful!

No wonder he dared to yell in prison, it turned out he had already thought of a pretext.

Du He shook his head and said, "There's no need to keep clamoring to see His Majesty. Considering the many evil things you've done, His Majesty has shown mercy by not beheading you."

"As for your inappropriate address to His Majesty just now, I will give you another chance considering it's your first offense."

Being scolded in public by a young man of the Sun generation, Li Shenfu's face instantly turned the color of pig liver with anger.

It's really like a tiger being bullied by a dog!

When he emerges from hiding one day, he will definitely teach that little thief Du He a lesson!

Stunned for a moment.

Li Shenfu narrowed his eyes and said, "Du He, take us to see His Majesty immediately, or I will run into a wall and die in prison!"

"You will definitely not be able to report to His Majesty then!"

Ha ha!

Dare you threaten him?

Is he such an easy person to control?

Du He raised his eyebrows and said, "Then hit your head against the wall!"

"When the time comes, I will have someone dig a big pit and bury you, old man, in there to prevent wolves and crows from eating your body."

Li Shenfu's face changed drastically.

Bastard!

What a bold bastard!

Li Shenfu pointed at Du He and stammered in anger, "Du... Du He, do you really think that I dare not bang my head against the wall?"
