Traveling through Du He, Li Chengqian's rebellion begins

"Bang~"

Pei Xingjian's body fell on the cushion with a dull sound.

The servant serving in the hall hurriedly ran up to help Pei Xingjian up, his tone full of anxiety.

"County Magistrate Pei, are you feeling unwell?"

"I will send someone to call the imperial physician for you right away."

He was ordered by the Crown Prince to serve County Magistrate Pei again. If anything happened to County Magistrate Pei, he would be in trouble.

Before the eunuch could go and call for help, Pei Xingjian waved his hand.

"I am fine."

He just sat cross-legged for too long, and now when he suddenly stood up, his energy and blood rushed to his head.

Changed for a moment.

Pei Xingjian stood up and said, "Please report to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and tell him that I have reviewed the memorial and will now take my leave."

"promise."

The eunuch responded respectfully.

After leaving the Eastern Palace, Pei Xingjian's expression became extremely solemn.

"no!"

"We need to train Shangguan Yi, Di Renjie, Pei Yan, Xue Yuanchao and others as soon as possible!"

"Otherwise I'll definitely die of exhaustion!"

According to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's style of doing things, memorials will definitely be handed over to the Privy Council for handling in the future.

Duke Han Guo, the President of the Privy Council, likes to promote and train his subordinates, and he will definitely pile all the things on his own head.

If he didn't have available subordinates, he would definitely not be able to complete the task of transporting Korean buses.

In this short moment, Pei Xingjian went from passively training subordinates to actively cultivating talents.

After some emotion.

Pei Xingjian murmured in admiration as he thought of his experience of reviewing memorials today.

"No wonder Duke Hanguo can manage the affairs of the Ministry of Revenue, Yongzhou Governor's Office, and the Institute of Gewu at the same time. He reviews memorials so quickly!"

"He is truly a capable minister of all ages!"

He had always believed that Han Kuo-yu was good at controlling the overall situation, but he did not expect that he would be so talented in handling specific government affairs.

...

Laiguogong Mansion.

In the study room.

The three brothers Du He, Du Gou and Du Aitong were sitting inside discussing matters.

Except for Du He who looked indifferent, Du Gou and Du Aitong looked extremely serious.

Chatted for a while.

Du He smiled and said, "Big Brother, Third Brother, I have assigned 50 guards to each of you. The lowest rank among them is captain."

"Until Zhangsun Wuji, Yuwen Jie and the others are eliminated, they will serve as your guards."

"Apart from attending court these days, don't go anywhere else."

Hearing Du He say this, Du Gou and Du Aitong also became nervous.

In recent years, the power of the Guanlong families has been weakened, and the princes have been forcibly detained and taken back to Chang'an. Du He never thought of arranging guards for them.

It now seems that the situation is more dangerous than they imagined.

Du Gou asked in a deep voice, "Second Brother, you should also pay more attention to your safety. You are a thorn in Zhangsun Wuji's side!"

"You must bring more guards!"

Du He had just told them that on the Mid-Autumn Festival, Changsun Wuji, Yuwen Jie and others would fight to the death.

In addition to instigating Li Junxian to rebel, they may also arrange for the family's assassins to attack them.

Du He smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about me. In addition to the 70 guards around me, I also have hundreds of East Palace spies guarding me secretly."

"There are also thousands of spies guarding the Princess's Mansion and the Duke of Lai's Mansion."

In addition to the spies in secret, Cheng Yaojin also dispatched hundreds of imperial guards to guard Chongrenfang. If Changsun Wuji and others sent assassins over, they would be killed in seconds as soon as they showed their heads.

this...

Du Gou and Du Aitong opened their mouths in astonishment.

I didn’t expect that Du He had placed so many spies around the Duke of Lai’s Mansion.

How come they hadn't noticed before?

Du He stood up and said, "It's getting late. I'll go back to the princess's mansion first. You guys settle the guards first."

"it is good."

Du Gou and Du Aitong stood up together and responded.

...

The next day.

After the meeting.

Pei Xingjian followed Du He and said, "Duke Hanguo, I would like to recommend three talented people to you. Do you think it would be possible to transfer them to the Institute of Gewu?"

Three great talents?

Du He asked curiously, "Who is Shouyue, a talented person?"

Ever since Pei Xingjian returned to his family last time and brought Pei Yan and Pei Judao, two of his clan members, with him, they rarely took the initiative to recommend talents to him.

I don’t know what talents this deputy leader of the Eastern Palace spies has set his eyes on.

Pei Xingjian whispered, "They are Cui Zhiwen, the Qianniu Beishen, Cen Changqian, the Supervisory Censor, and Lou Shide, the Censorate's Clerk."

"Cui Zhiwen is from the Qinghe Cui family, Cen Changqian is the nephew of Cen Wenben, and Lou Shide passed the imperial examination and became a Jinshi in the 18th year of Zhenguan."

“All three of them are incredibly talented!”

Hearing these three unfamiliar names, Du He's face showed confusion.

Are these three people qualified to be prime ministers?

Why have you never heard of it?

However, since they are talents recommended by Pei Xingjian, let's leave them to Pei Xingjian for training, and then examine their character and abilities later.

Du He nodded and said, "Come with me to the Ministry of Revenue. I will draft the appointment letter now."

"promise!"

Pei Xingjian responded excitedly.

Pei Xingjian felt extremely happy at the thought of training these young talents and letting them serve in the Privy Council.

Half an hour later.

Pei Xingjian left the Ministry of Revenue happily with the three appointment letters.

...

noon.

Mingde Hall

Li Chengqian smiled and said, "Du He, Shou Yue's ability to handle government affairs is still a little lacking. You need to spare more time to guide him."

Du He was shocked and asked, "Your Highness, did Shou Yue make any mistakes in handling the memorial?"

It shouldn’t be!

Pei Xingjian's ability to handle government affairs is definitely better than his half-baked one.

Moreover, he is very careful in his work, so there shouldn't be any problems.

Li Chengqian shook his head: "Shouyue was too slow in reviewing the memorials. It took him five and a half hours to finish. He is only 20% of your efficiency."

"When he finished, he stood up and fell backwards."

this...

Du He's expression was slightly stunned.

No wonder Pei Xingjian recommended three talents to him early in the morning. It turned out that he was so tired yesterday that he was scared and went to find help.

This is a good thing, as it can stimulate Pei Xingjian to discover great talents.

Du He bowed and said, "Your Highness, Shouyue's efficiency in handling memorials is slow, mainly because he is not yet proficient enough."

"Once he gradually adapts for a period of time, his efficiency will definitely improve."

Ha ha!

I've been waiting for this word from you!

Li Chengqian immediately ordered, "Du He, from now on, all government affairs in Henan and Hebei Provinces will be handed over to you for review. This will allow you to practice your skills with the reserve officials of the Privy Council."

"This opportunity is rare, you must seize it seriously!"

Good guy!

It turns out that this is Li Chengqian’s purpose!

With Li Chengqian's way of governing, I wouldn't say he would live to be 100 years old, but at least he would live to be 80 years old.

Du He bowed and said, "Your Highness, why not set up a Privy Council in the East Palace? This department will not be publicized to the outside world, and only a few of us will know about it."

"Only in this way can I allow outsiders to access the memorials!"

Reviewing these memorials is not just a game, but concerns major national affairs.

For example, the review of appointments and dismissals of local officials, official corruption cases, draft imperial edicts, disaster reports, impeachment memorials, etc.

If the person handling the matter has selfish motives, it can easily cause a big mess.
