Traveling through Du He, Li Chengqian's rebellion begins

"Squeak."

The door of the room was pushed open, and a young maid with bright eyes and white teeth walked in carrying a basin of water.

She is Linglong, Li Yi's personal maid and also a dowry maid.

"what!"

Linglong saw Du He standing beside the bed. She shouted, turned around and rushed out with the basin.

Soon her loud voice was heard from outside the courtyard.

"Your Highness, the Prince Consort is awake!"

About two or three minutes later, Li Yi grabbed the hems of her skirt and ran in hurriedly.

After just a short jog, she was already exhausted and out of breath.

"Walk slowly and be careful not to fall." Du He hurriedly went forward and held Li Yi's slender shoulders with both hands.

His wife, the second daughter of Li Shimin, not only did not have the spoiled problems of a princess, but was very gentle and virtuous.

Li Yi's appearance also inherited the advantages of Li Shimin and Empress Changsun, and he was tall and beautiful.

The reason why the original owner Du He disliked her was because she was too thin.

Du He had a special liking for Concubine Wei's voluptuous figure.

On the contrary, the modern social animal Du He likes Li Yi's type.

I am thin where I should be thin and fat where I should be fat.

Feeling Du He's gentle tone for the first time, Li Yi's pretty face turned red and she asked with concern.

"My husband, you fell unconscious for no reason. I was scared."

"Are you feeling unwell anywhere now?"

Du He gently rubbed her hair and comforted her with tenderness in his eyes.

"Don't worry, I'm fine."

"You should have a good rest. I have something to do in the East Palace now and will be back for dinner in the evening."

After Du He finished speaking, he did not continue to flirt with her, but walked out with big strides.

Now that disaster is imminent, we must get rid of Hegan Chengji before he reveals the truth.

Otherwise, the wheel of history will not stop.

All of them, the gang that instigated the prince to rebel, would be liquidated by Li Shimin.

...

Du He came to the East Palace and saw the gatekeeper and the guards let him in without saying a word.

As a frequent visitor to the Eastern Palace, it is no exaggeration to say that Du He can walk around the Eastern Palace freely with just this face.

"knock knock"

"Your Highness, the Prince Consort Du He requests to see you."

The personal guard knocked on the door of Li Chengqian's study and reported respectfully in a low voice.

"Please come in quickly!"

Li Chengqian's anxious voice was heard in the study.

After the guard opened the door, he turned around and made a gesture of invitation to Du He.

After Du He walked into the study, he closed the door again and tacitly stayed away from the study with the other guards.

These servants couldn't bear to hear what the Crown Prince and his wife's son-in-law talked about.

In the study room.

Du He finally saw Li Chengqian's true face. There was nothing to say about his appearance, he could be considered handsome.

He was just dragging a lame leg and looked a little embarrassed.

"Du He, the uprising is going to happen in three days? Why are you looking for me at this time?"

"Don't worry, you are the person I trust the most. When I ascend the throne, I will appoint you as Shangshu Zuo Pushe to command all officials!"

Li Chengqian thought Du He came to take credit, so he limped over and patted him on the shoulder.

According to the plan, a palace coup was to be launched three days later.

Li Anyan, the General of the Left Guard who was in charge of the Imperial Guard, acted as an insider. Hou Junji mobilized his personal guards to force Li Shimin to give up the throne.

Repeat the successful story of Xuanwu Gate.

Before his rebellion succeeded, Li Chengqian's face was already full of daydreams, dreaming of becoming an emperor.

"Your Highness, what else is going on? We are all doomed."

Du He shook his head and spoke in a light tone, but it was like a heavy blow to Li Chengqian's chest.

"Du He, what did you say!"

Li Chengqian's eyes narrowed and he stared at Du He with a very serious expression.

Even though Li Chengqian relied on Du He a lot, he couldn't help but feel angry when he heard such unlucky words before the incident.

"Your Highness, Hegan Chengji has been arrested by the Dali Temple on suspicion of being involved in Li You's treason case."

"He knows our entire plan. If he tells His Majesty about it in order to escape punishment, do you think we still have a chance to survive?"

In the morning, people from the Dali Temple rushed into the Eastern Palace and captured Hegan Chengji, a thousand-bull guard of the Eastern Palace.

The reason was that Hegan Chengji was suspected of being involved in Li You's rebellion.

Li Chengqian obviously knew about this matter, but he didn't care at all. How big of a deal was this?

After hearing what Du He said, Li Chengqian quickly shook his head.

"No, Hegan Chengji has done so much for me and is loyal to me. He will definitely not tell on me."

"Besides, I trust He Gan Chengji so much, how could he work for Li You?"

"Maybe the people from the Dali Temple arrested the wrong person."

Hegan Chengji is a thousand-man guard of the Eastern Palace, an assassin trained by Li Chengqian, and his absolute confidant.

Prior to this, under the instruction of Li Chengqian, Hegan Chengji also went to assassinate Li Tai, Zhang Shizheng and Yu Zhining.

How could his subordinates, who had done so much for him, betray him?

Besides, how could Li You compare with him? Even if Hegan Chengji had no vision, he would never hang out with Li You.

"Your Highness, I have received news that Hegan Chengji is not only loyal to you, but also working for Li You."

"It is a fact that he participated in the treason case, and he will definitely be beheaded according to his crime."

"If he writes a letter to accuse us of treason in order to escape punishment, we will all lose our heads!"

This time, Du He's expression was very serious.

Has Li Chengqian become stupid after being the crown prince for too long?

He actually didn't care about such a huge hidden danger.

Li Chengqian saw that Du He didn't seem to be bragging, his face turned pale, and he asked in panic.

"Du He, what should we do?"

"How about we take action early tonight?"

Because he was too excited, Li Chengqian's hands began to tremble uncontrollably.

If Hegan Chengji really informed on the matter, all their plans would be in vain and they would all be sentenced to death.

He wants to be emperor, he doesn't want to die.

"Your Highness, launching a palace coup is also a dead end."

"Most of the people in the Left Guard are loyal to Your Majesty, and General Li Anyan has very few people under his command."

"All of Chen Guogong Hou Junji's men are stationed in various places. He has very few men at his disposal."

"In the end, our fate will be the same as Li You's. We will be quickly suppressed."

At this point, Li Chengqian was still thinking about rebellion, which shows how much oppression Li Tai brought to him.

Don't you even look at the lineup of people who support his rebellion? Except Hou Junji who has military power, the rest are just there to make up the numbers.

Li Shimin was able to succeed in launching the Xuanwu Gate Incident because he had fought wars for many years and had a large number of civil and military officials serving him.

Li Chengqian has not a single hair on his body.

Li Shimin had the protection of the Left and Right Thousand Bull Guards and the Black Armor Army, so he was more than capable of fighting against a large army.

"What should I do?" Li Chengqian staggered back a few steps, feeling hopeless in an instant.

If I had known earlier, I would have listened to Du He, pretended to be sick in the mansion, lured my father to visit me, and then let the assassins take action.

How could it have come to such a dangerous situation?

Li Chengqian saw that Du He's expression was quite calm, so he asked in a hurried tone as if he had grasped a life-saving straw.

"Du He, you must have a way, right?"

Du He was his number one military advisor, and most of the plans for this rebellion were also his.

Although Li Chengqian didn't know why Du He changed his usual behavior, his analysis made sense, and now he could only rely on Du He to turn the tide.

"Your Highness, the biggest crisis right now is that Hegan Chengji has reported us for treason."

"He was just taken to the Dali Temple this morning and will be interrogated tomorrow."

"As long as we get rid of him today, the crisis can be temporarily resolved!"

A fierce look flashed in Du He's eyes.
