Traveling through Du He, Li Chengqian's rebellion begins

How else to decide?

They, the Changsun family, have no choice but to take this path!

Even if they submit to Li Chengqian now, once Li Chengqian ascends the throne, the power of their Changsun family will gradually disintegrate.

After three generations, their Changsun family completely disappeared from the ranks of aristocratic families.

Instead of bowing down to those two evil villains Li Chengqian and Du He, it is better to fight to the death and fight for a bright future!

If they win this battle, their Changsun family will become the first-class family!

Become the Sima family during the Wei and Jin Dynasties!

Zhang Sun Wuji said in a deep voice: "Chong'er, there is no turning back, and the other Guanlong families will not retreat at this time!"

"Their family's strength has been reduced by more than half!"

The Yu family of Gaoling, the Yuwen family of Guanzhong, the Liu family of Hedong, the Xie family of Chenjun and others, their families were severely weakened by the prince.

After the crown prince ascends the throne, he may follow in the footsteps of the Sanyuan Han family.

Will they back down at this point?

Chang Sun Chong said worriedly, "Father, Li Zhi is hiding in Bingzhou like a coward. With so few of us, can we be a match for the Crown Prince and Du He?"

"We were completely powerless to resist the might displayed by Yongzhou's 100,000 soldiers two days ago!"

The Crown Prince is much more cruel than Your Majesty, as can be seen from the way he treats the Li clan members.

In the past, His Majesty would give the princes various opportunities, but now the Crown Prince directly ordered Du He, his lackey, to mobilize heavy troops to suppress them.

There was a pause.

Chang Sun Chong retreated and said, "Father, how about we submit to the Crown Prince?"

"Even if our family's strength is weakened, at least we can save the lives of our family members."

"My younger brothers are all well-read and have great potential. They may be able to return to the center of power in the court in the future."

Looking at his son who was hesitating in his heart, Changsun Wuji frowned slightly.

Hey!

Still not thorough enough!

In order to keep his own descendants safe, how could the madman Du He allow their descendants to take power?

There is absolutely no possibility of this!

That evil villain doesn't even care about his family. How could such a cold-blooded person have any sympathy for the children of their Changsun family?

Changsun Wuji patted his shoulder and said, "Chong'er, don't interfere in this matter."

"I have my own arrangements!"

After saying this, Changsun Wuji left the hall with a hunched back.

Chang Sun Chong looked at his father's back as he left. His mouth moved, but he didn't say the last word.

My father has a very stubborn temper and once he makes a decision, no one can change it.

...

With the issuance of the decree prohibiting close relatives and the announcement of the divorce between Princess Changle and her husband Changsun Chong, Chang'an suddenly became boiling.

The people were all talking about this, and their hearts were filled with astonishment.

Pingkang Square.

Inside Baihua Tower.

Dozens of scholars wearing blue and white robes discussed the two newly released pieces of news.

"Your Majesty is so courageous!"

"In order to enforce the law prohibiting inbreeding, Princess Changle and Chang Sunchong were forced to divorce!"

"However, the court has discovered that inbreeding poses many dangers, so it would be a good idea to ban this law!"

“I believe that people all over the world will follow suit!”

"..."

These well-read scholars were relatively rational. After reading the data on close relatives investigated by the Ministry of Revenue, they all agreed with the court's decision.

In the face of facts, all excuses are pale and powerless.

Unlike the scholars who were discussing calmly, the discussions among ordinary farmers in Chang'an were much more intense.

"fart!"

"The tradition of marrying close relatives has been passed down for thousands of years. How can we go against the decision of our ancestors?"

"Who on earth came up with this decree? Is it so stupid?"

"Yes!"

"We can marry however we want. The imperial court is really meddling in other people's affairs!"

The vast majority of people do not agree with this decree.

How can something that our ancestors believed in be wrong?

The ones who are wrong must be those officials who have nothing to do and have nothing to do all day long. They are always thinking of ways to control them!

There were many people who knew the inside story, and they spoke loudly.

"The one who proposed this decree is the Duke of Korea!"

As this news spread, most of the voices of opposition suddenly disappeared.

In just one or two days, the public opinion quickly changed.

“It turned out to be the Korean prince who brought it up!”

"This decree is for the health of our people and future generations. It's really well-intentioned!"

"I'll go home and erect a monument to the Korean people for longevity!"

These people are all enjoying the huge benefits brought by the birth subsidies, and they are naturally grateful to Du He.

They also heard that some princes and people from aristocratic families had defrauded birth subsidies, so Duke Han did not hesitate to offend the powerful and arrested these people and brought them to Chang'an for trial.

How could they possibly make things difficult for Duke Han Guo, an official who speaks up for the people?

Moreover, the young men of the common people were basically assigned to young women from Goguryeo, Baekje, Eastern Turks, Xueyantuo or Western Turks, so they did not need to consider close relatives at all.

...

East Palace.

Mingde Hall.

Li Chengqian sat high in the main seat, and at the bottom of the hall, Du He and Li Lizhi sat on his left and right sides respectively.

Delicious meals were placed on the tables of the three of them.

Li Lizhi said gratefully, "Thank you, big brother, for your help. You have helped me and my cousin to divorce successfully. I feel like the invisible shackles on my body have been lifted."

"Thank you, brother!"

As she spoke, she stood up and bowed gracefully to Li Chengqian.

After divorcing Chang Sun Chong, she not only did not feel the grief she had imagined, but instead felt like she had been reborn.

The Duke of Zhao’s Mansion is too depressing nowadays!

It is also at the forefront!

Li Chengqian pointed at Du He and said with a smile, "Li Zhi, you should thank Du He. This was Du He's idea."

"In order to convince the Emperor, Du He also said that you should pursue happiness."

As soon as these words were spoken, Li Lizhi suddenly turned her head to look at Du He, her bright eyes filled with strange colors.

She smiled and said, "Thank you, Lord Han Guo."

Well...

Du He's expression paused slightly.

He put down the lamb chops in his hand and waved his hands quickly, saying, "Your Highness, this was the Crown Prince's idea. I am only following orders."

Li Chengqian curled his lips.

Since Li Zhi is happy about the divorce, why shouldn't she admit it?

But he didn't expose Du He's words.

While Li Chengqian and Li Lizhi were talking, Du He did not say anything, but just lowered his head to drink and eat meat.

Chatted for a long time.

Li Lizhi suddenly said, "Brother, my sister is now twenty-eight years old. You must find some talented young men for her to choose a good husband for."

Li Chengqian blurted out: "Du He is very good."

puff~

All the wine in Du He's mouth sprayed out.

this...

What kind of nonsense is this?

How can this be done?

Li Lizhi's face flushed instantly, and she said coquettishly, "Brother, how can you make such a joke!"

Li Chengqian smiled awkwardly and said, "It was just a slip of the tongue. Don't take it to heart."

When it comes to young talents, the first person that comes to his mind is Du He. Can anyone else be called a talent?

Pei Xingjian counts as half, but unfortunately he has already married Hou Haitang.

There was a pause.

Li Chengqian said seriously, "Don't worry, Lizhi. Big Brother will definitely introduce you to a few more young talents."

"Thank you, brother."

Li Lizhi smiled and bowed.

When she sat down, she looked at Du He with her beautiful eyes, and then a hint of envy.

Yier, that girl, married a good husband!

Just when the atmosphere was becoming a little subtle, Qin Huaidao strode in, reporting with a strange expression on his face.

"Your Highness, the Emperor of Dong...Dongtu Tang has returned!"
