Traveling through Du He, Li Chengqian's rebellion begins

Before this, their group of staff had discussed many times how to take action against Li Chengqian and had already made a comprehensive plan.

Taking advantage of this golden opportunity when the crown prince goes to war, the crown prince can be killed with the help of someone else, and the King of Wei will become the new crown prince.

After King Wei ascended the throne, everyone sitting in the hall were core members of the new court.

Li Tai nodded and continued, "Everyone, I think the strategy we came up with before is not sufficient and cannot ensure that it will be foolproof."

"It just so happens that Xueyantuo is full of hatred towards our Tang Dynasty. Please think about how Xueyantuo can become a knife in our hands."

This!

The hall fell silent in an instant.

Wei Ting frowned and said, "King of Wei, it is better for us not to have anything to do with Xueyantuo. If they collude with foreign tribes to attack the prince, it will be a capital crime."

"If His Majesty finds out, I'm afraid our entire clan will be exterminated!"

After hearing what Wei Ting said, everyone in the hall turned their eyes to Yin Yushan.

Their Yin family supported the rebellion of Prince of Qi Li You, and ended up in a miserable state with their family broken up and their loved ones killed.

This risky move is not worth it for these people with wealthy families and fortunes.

It is better to take a safe and secure approach, which is more in their interests.

Seeing that all his staff were unwilling to support his suggestion, Li Tai's chubby face suddenly showed displeasure.

At this time, Yin Yushan, who was sitting next to her, spoke slowly.

"Sir Wei, there are many conflicts in Xueyantuo right now, and the newly enthroned Duomi Khan is in urgent need of diverting the people's hatred towards the court."

"We don't need to cooperate with the alien race. We just need to send assassins to light a fire and drive Xueyantuo completely crazy."

Yin Yushan spoke in a female voice, her voice was cold and crisp, and it went straight into people's hearts.

On the way to and from Lingzhou, Xueyantuo lost tens of thousands of livestock, and these livestock were obtained by the imperial court from the people through various means.

Although Yi Nan gave the herders some silver as compensation, the amount of silver was totally inconsistent with the price of the cattle and sheep.

The cattle and sheep that the herdsmen had worked so hard to raise were plundered in this way. If they said they had no resentment towards the imperial court, even a three-year-old child would probably not believe it.

Li Tai's face lit up with joy, and he quickly turned his head to look at Yin Yushan, and asked in a gentle voice with a smile on his face.

"Yushan, tell me the specific method!"

Yin Yushan said calmly, "The Xueyantuo court also wants to divert the conflicts among the various tribes in the country, and war is the best way to do that. All they lack now is a reason to send troops."

"In that case, let's think of a reason for them."

Yin Yushan looked at the people with serious expressions, raised a smile and continued.

"Send people to the Xueyantuo tribes to spread rumors, saying that the Tang army has conquered Goguryeo and will attack the Xueyantuo next."

"When the time comes, the people in Xueyantuo will become panic-stricken, and the Xueyantuo court will naturally follow public opinion and take action against our Tang Dynasty."

Wei Ting asked solemnly, "Your Majesty will also send people to Xueyantuo to sow discord among the tribes in the next few days. If we send spies to spread rumors, what should we do if we are discovered?"

Yin Yushan said with a smile: "Don't worry, Lord Wei, just leave this matter to me."

Hearing Yin Yushan's words, Li Tai, Wei Ting, Du Chuke, Wei Suan and others' faces brightened.

Your Majesty has not yet found any clues about the ghost murder case that was perpetrated by Yin Yushan and the people behind it.

They had every reason to believe that if they asked Yin Yushan to send someone to Xueyantuo to spread rumors, His Majesty would not find out.

"Hahaha! Great, great!" Li Tai clapped his hands excitedly. He said with admiration, "Yushan, I am even more powerful with your help!"

Yin Yushan covered her mouth and chuckled: "Your Highness Prince Wei, you are too kind. The ministers present here are the strongest swords in your hands."

"I am just a weak woman, and I can only add icing on the cake for the King of Wei."

Seeing King Wei's praise for Yin Yushan, the intelligence chief Wei Suan looked a little unhappy.

He was supposed to be responsible for sending people to spread rumors, but now Yin Yushan has taken over his job. Isn't this going to destroy his job?

In addition, the King of Wei's attitude towards Yin Yushan is extremely ambiguous now, and his admiration for her is beyond words. He may take her as his princess in the future.

When he thought about how he had been doing all the dirty and tiring work under the King of Wei for so long, and was about to get through, his position was now being replaced by Yin Yushan.

A sense of crisis suddenly lingered in my heart.

...

The next day.

It's just dawn.

Inside Princess Chengyang’s mansion.

Li Yi carefully put on the soft armor for Du He and gently reminded him: "My husband, the war between the two countries is full of dangers, you must pay attention to your safety!"

"My unborn baby and I are in Chang'an, waiting for your triumphant return."

Du He turned around and faced Li Yi, then gently supported her cheeks with both hands, bent down slightly and put his forehead against Li Yi's.

"Don't worry, Yi'er. The prince and I will be in charge of the central army and will not go to the dangerous front line."

"Just wait for me at home peacefully. When the baby is born, write to me and let me know."

"I have to go now."

After saying that, Du He gently kissed Li Yi on the forehead, then picked up the sword from the shelf and strode out of the room.

Li Yi's eyes were fixed on Du He's back, and he felt empty and uneasy.

Linglong consoled her, "Your Highness, the Prince Consort has been practicing horse riding every day in the past few months, and he rides a Ferghana horse. I don't think any enemy can catch up with the Prince Consort."

She had personally experienced the prince consort's riding skills, which were superb!

"You damn girl."

Li Yi patted Linglong's arm gently, with a faint smile on his face.

On the official road outside Chang'an City.

Thousands of elite cavalrymen wearing armor and holding spears escorted three luxurious carriages and galloped towards Luoyang.

The carriage in the front was Hou Junji's, the larger carriage in the middle was occupied by Li Chengqian and Du He, and the last carriage was occupied by King of Han Li Yuanchang.

This troublemaker also followed the army to Youzhou to take up his post.

Around the carriage in the middle, in addition to Xi Junmai who was wearing heavy armor and holding a lance, there were hundreds of soldiers with extremely large bodies, also wearing heavy armor.

Pei Xingjian was also called over by Du He. He rode a black warhorse and followed behind Xi Junmai.

Inside the carriage.

Li Chengqian and Du He sat opposite each other, with fruits and cakes placed between them.

Du He pointed outside the carriage and said softly, "Your Highness, I didn't expect His Majesty to send so many Black Armored Soldiers to protect your safety!"

"It seems that His Majesty attaches great importance to your safety!"

The combat effectiveness of the Black Armor Army is the best in the entire army. Even one of them has the strength of a captain.

At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin still maintained 3000 Black Armor Soldiers. Later, when the country was peaceful, in order to reduce financial expenditure, only 1000 Black Armor Soldiers were left.

Li Chengqian's mood suddenly became depressed and he shook his head gently.

"Du He, Father did not intend to send the Black Armored Army to protect me at first. It was Duke of Song Xiao Yu and Minister Liu Li who suggested it to Father, and that is why Father sent 300 Black Armored Army here."

Uh~

Du He's expression paused.

Unexpectedly, sending the Black Armor Army to guard Li Chengqian was not Li Shimin's initiative.

So Du He quickly changed the subject.

"Your Highness, when we return victoriously from defeating Goguryeo, the King of Wei will not be able to pose a threat to your position as Crown Prince."

"I wonder if the King of Wei will be furious?"

Li Chengqian's lips curled up into a smile, he clenched his fist and said: "Du He, we must win this battle!"

Ten days later.

Li Chengqian, Du He, Hou Junji and others finally arrived at Youzhou, the core city in the north!
