Traveling through Du He, Li Chengqian's rebellion begins

When Li Tai said he was going to see his father, his expression was full of guilt.

If his father had not spared his life and released him from the siege of hundreds of thousands of troops, he would probably have been ordered to commit suicide long ago.

My father fell seriously ill when he went to Fengshan, and I don’t know how his health is now.

Hey!

On the imperial platform.

Li Chengqian said softly, "The Emperor is in Yuhua Palace. I will send someone to take you there tomorrow."

Li Tai stood up and saluted respectfully: "Thank you, Your Highness."

A group of old ministers in the Prince of Qin's Palace looked at the two brothers living in harmony, and they felt deeply moved.

If they had been respectful to each other from the beginning, they would not have ended up in such a situation!

Perhaps if Your Majesty had sent the King of Wei to his fiefdom when he came of age, the subsequent series of events would not have happened.

Li Chengqian drank a glass of wine and then asked, "King Wei, have you conquered all of Japan's territory?"

Everyone's eyes were on Li Tai.

Li Tai said proudly, "Your Highness, your Royal Highness, your Royal Brother has conquered all of Japan's territory. Over a hundred thousand Japanese men have been reduced to slavery, and they are mining for gold and silver for your Royal Brother."

"As for the beautiful women in Japan, most of them were given to the soldiers as wives and concubines."

There was a pause.

Li Tai smiled at Du He and said, "Duke Hanguo's uncle, Du Chuke, has 36 young and beautiful concubines, and his sons have 25 sons."

"Yin Yuhe was stronger, and he took 72 concubines and fathered 88 children."

He then briefly introduced Wei Ting, Cui Renshi and others.

As soon as these words were spoken, a loud gasp was heard in the hall.

"Suck~"

"Is it so fun to be with Li Tai?"

These officials originally looked down on Du Chuke, Wei Ting and others, thinking that their lives were ruined, but now it seems that they have found the true meaning of happiness!

All the officials turned their eyes to Li Chengqian, their eyes full of desire.

Well...

Li Chengqian's expression paused slightly.

What these officials were thinking was written on their faces, so he didn't need to guess too much.

Youngsters like Xue Rengui, Xi Junmai and Cui Shenji are fine, but why are old guys like Niu Jinda, Cheng Yaojin and Hou Junji joining in the fun?

Can you grasp the rewards of so many beauties?

After thinking about it for a while.

Li Chengqian said loudly: "My dear ministers, when the Tang Dynasty conquers new territories, I will also reward you with beauties."

"Rewards are based on merit, and there's no upper limit on the number of beauties you can have!"

wow~

There was a huge noise in the Taiji Hall.

Civil and military officials all stood up holding their tablets, shouting excitedly.

"His Royal Highness the Prince is wise!"

"I wish to expand the territory for the Tang Dynasty. All that is illuminated day and night will be Tang territory!"

Everyone shouted more than ten times until their throats were dry, and then they sat down with red faces.

When Du He saw Li Jing shouting at the top of his lungs, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

"Old naughty boy..."

He has less than two years left to live, yet he's still following the young people and making noises without any shame.

Wait until the crowd's voices die down.

Li Chengqian then asked with concern, "King Wei, the territory you conquered contains mountains of gold and silver. How large are they?"

Li Tai hesitated for a moment and replied, "The silver mine I mined is called Iwami Ginzan, and the gold mine I mined is called Sado Gold Mine. Neither is large, and most of it has been mined."

"My gift to you is five ships filled with silver and three ships filled with gold."

Hearing Li Tai's words, Du He raised a wicked smile.

The little fat boy is not honest!

Judging from the reserves of Iwami Silver Mine and Sado Gold Mine, it is estimated that they may not be fully mined even if they are given another hundred years of mining.

When Li Chengqian heard these words, he felt particularly relieved.

He said with satisfaction, "The King of Wei is thoughtful. I will discuss with my father in the next two days and make you a prince!"

"However, the title of Emperor of the Eastern Land is too great for you to handle. During your time in the Tang Dynasty, you should call yourself the King of Wei."

He would not leave Li Tai in Chang'an, and he had no interest in the small piece of land in Japan.

Moreover, given the emperor's favor for Li Tai, he would definitely be made a prince.

"The minister obeys the order!"

Li Tai responded unwillingly.

How great it is for him to bear the title of the Tang Emperor of the East. All officials would call him the Tang Emperor when they saw him.

It’s a pity that Li Chengqian is too stingy!

Li Tai then asked, "Your Highness, I brought back 18 concubines with me on this trip. Are they still staying in the Prince of Wei's mansion?"

Where is the Prince of Wei’s Palace?

It has long been turned into the Korean Duke's Mansion!

Li Chengqian waved his hand and said, "It's a rare trip for you to Chang'an, so you should stay in Wude Hall for the time being."

"promise."

Li Tai bowed.

At the following banquet, all the officials were asking about the situation of Li Tai's new territory, and the focus of their attention was on the group of Japanese women.

The banquet ended after an hour.

After leaving Tai Chi Hall.

Changsun Wuji walked up to Li Tai and bowed, "Your Highness, Prince of Wei, we haven't seen each other for several years. Chong'er and Huan'er miss you very much. How about coming to my residence for a drink?"

Li Tai narrowed his eyes and looked at Changsun Wuji, and nodded after a moment.

"Row."

Judging from his tone, it doesn't sound like a nephew and uncle talking at all, but rather like a monarch and his subjects.

...

East Palace.

Inside Mingde Hall.

Li Chengqian winked and said, "Du He, that fat guy Li Tai brought back 99 Japanese women. They are now staying in the Imperial Household Department."

"I will give you 20 people. How about you take them back to the princess's mansion?"

Hey!

so generous?

Du He said seriously, "Your Highness, I am not interested in women, but the Princess's Mansion is short of servants to do odd jobs."

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

Li Chengqian glanced at Du He and a sly smile appeared on his face.

If this guy wasn't Princess Shang's consort, he would have taken in more than a dozen concubines long ago. But now he's still pretending to be serious with him.

The two have been playing together since they were young, so how could they not understand each other's personalities?

Li Chengqian waved his hand and said, "Let's go, choose for yourself."

Half an hour later.

Ten carriages left the East Palace and slowly headed towards the Princess's Mansion.

Return to the princess's mansion.

When Li Yi, Yin Yushan and others looked at the 20 Japanese women standing in a row, their faces were full of weirdness.

"My dear, are these Japanese women brought back by my fourth brother as a gift to the Crown Prince?"

"The prince sent you another 20 people?"

Hearing Li Yi's question, Du He nodded: "That's it."

A moment of silence.

Li Yi raised an eyebrow: "Are you willing to assign them all to do odd jobs?"

"How about leaving one for you as a maid?"

All four of them are pregnant, but they cannot sleep with their husbands. In order to prevent their husbands from cheating on them, these beautiful women come in handy.

Du He looked at the woman who looked like Aragaki Yui, and said with an extremely calm expression.

"Just her."

"The rest are assigned to do odd jobs."

Among the 99 Japanese women brought back by Li Tai, except for a few who were good-looking, most of them were of average looks.

He looked carefully five times before choosing this person.

As for the others, they were all sent to be maids.

Li Yi rolled his eyes at Du He and said, "You idiot, I knew you were targeting this guy. Okay, I'll do as you say."
