Traveling through Du He, Li Chengqian's rebellion begins

If there were not several other generals present, Hou Junji would have also condemned Li Shimin.

Li Tai committed such a serious crime as treason, but Your Majesty did not punish him. Isn't this too much pampering?

Du He, who had been silent for a long time, spoke again in a sour voice.

"King Li Yin of Shu was stripped of half his fiefdom and official position, and demoted to the position of governor of Guozhou, just because he hunted excessively and beat officials who tried to dissuade him."

"The King of Wei committed the great crime of treason, but he still remotely served as the governor of Xiangzhou and controlled the military affairs of the three states."

"Besides, the scapegoat Wei Suan who was beheaded was just a small fry."

Seeing the generals' faces full of indignation, Du He kept silent again and sat aside pretending to be dead.

It's almost as if you're adding fuel to the fire. If you say more, things will probably get into trouble.

Li Chengqian also said at the right time: "Generals, my father has already punished the mastermind behind this, so let's just forget about this."

"We must prepare for the upcoming war, strive to capture Goguryeo as soon as possible, and return to the court as soon as possible!"

"promise!"

Everyone saluted and bowed to Li Chengqian.

Li Ji said with emotion: "Your Highness the Crown Prince is kind-hearted and generous. He is a blessing to the people of the Tang Dynasty!"

Faced with his brother's betrayal, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not seek revenge. It was a blessing for his subjects and the people of the world to have such a wise person as the monarch.

The other generals nodded in approval.

"Generals, you are too kind." Li Chengqian waved his hands modestly, and then announced loudly: "Since the mastermind behind the scenes has been found out and the army will be leaving soon, let's kill pigs and sheep tonight to reward the three troops!"

Li Chengqian then turned his gaze to Du He and said with a smile on his face.

"And the emperor has brought some good news that is closely related to Prince Consort Du. On this festive day, alcohol is not prohibited at tonight's banquet!"

Although Li Chengqian was keeping it a secret, Du He knew that Li Shimin was probably talking about the important event of Li Yi giving birth to a child, and there was a hint of anxiety on his face.

Before Du He could say anything, Hou Junji, whose appetite was whetted, asked first in confusion.

"Your Highness, what is the good news?"

Facing the generals' puzzled looks, Li Chengqian said with a smile: "When we were attacking Liaodong City, Princess Chengyang gave birth to a boy for Du He. He is now a father too!"

"Great!"

Du He stood up suddenly.

"Congratulations, Prince Consort Du!"

Everyone gathered around and bowed to Du He to congratulate him.

Li Ji laughed out loud and said, "This is indeed great news. Prince Consort Du must drink a few more glasses tonight!"

"That's right!"

Hou Junji, Li Daozon, Zhang Liang and others all responded with a smile.

Regarding Du He, the rising star, these generals did not treat him as a junior, but treated him on the same level as themselves.

Li Chengqian also smiled and said: "Generals, if Du He is not drunk tonight, it means that you are not doing your job well."

Hou Junji patted his chest and assured, "Hehe, don't worry, Your Highness. If Du He doesn't lie down on the table within half an hour, I will run around the city three times naked by the end of tomorrow!"

"Hahaha."

All the generals burst into laughter.

Du He looked at this group of battlefield killers with a frown on his face.

However, he was not at all panicked, as he was very familiar with dealing with drinking parties.

To celebrate Li Tai being sent to his fiefdom, to celebrate him becoming a father with Du He, and to give a farewell party to the army that was about to go off.

Li Chengqian ordered the firemen to slaughter more than 2000 sheep and bring most of the seized wine.

The city of Anshi was instantly plunged into a sea of joy as if it were New Year's Day.

Sun Simiao was also invited by Li Chengqian and was invited to sit on the high platform together.

Li Chengqian raised his glass and gestured to Sun Simiao, "Dr. Sun, you just came here after a long journey, and I asked you to treat the generals. I was inconsiderate."

"I would like to offer you a drink. I hope Doctor Sun will not mind."

Sun Simiao quickly raised his glass and said in response, "Your Highness, please honor me. I am just a commoner and I am not worthy of your toast."

The two men were humble at first, then drank the wine in one gulp.

Just as Du He was about to toast Sun Simiao, he was interrupted by Hou Junji.

Hou Junji said loudly: "Du He, let's raise three glasses to celebrate your becoming a father!"

The two of them drank three cups, and before Du He could recover, Zhang Liang raised his glass and spoke.

"Du He, I'll toast you three cups as well."

After saying that, Zhang Liang drank three full glasses of wine.

I go!

Du He had no choice but to drink three glasses of wine.

Next, Li Ji, Li Daozon, Zhang Shigui and others took turns to compete, all starting with three cups of wine.

Under the repeated toasts from these generals, Du He fell down before he could even finish a cup of tea.

“Hahaha.” Hou Junji’s face was full of smiles. He said as if to take credit, “Your Highness, we have completed the mission!”

Forehead...

Li Chengqian was stunned.

He and Du He have been friends since childhood, and he knows that Du He's alcohol tolerance is definitely more than this.

"Good boy, pretending to be drunk!"

Li Chengqian complained in his heart.

However, he did not expose Du He, but praised him and said: "Generals, you did a good job!"

Li Chengqian glanced at Du He who was pretending to be very serious, a sly smile appeared on his lips, and then he gave orders to his personal guards.

"Come here, bring my sedan chair over here and take Prince Consort Du back to the City Lord's Mansion to rest!"

"Pick two more young and beautiful maids and have them take good care of our Prince Consort Du!"

Hearing Li Chengqian's deliberate words, Du He, who was pretending to be drunk, twitched his mouth.

This guy is really sinister.

...

Two days later.

Hou Junji, Li Ji and Zhang Liang led their armies to leave Anshi City one after another and began to clear out Goguryeo's cities in Liaodong area.

Without tens of thousands of troops, the huge city of Anshi suddenly became empty.

Inside the city lord's palace.

Li Chengqian was in a good mood and asked, "Du He, Li Tai has been driven away to his fiefdom, and several of his staff members have also left Chang'an."

"Without Li Tai as a stumbling block, is it safe for me to ascend the throne?"

After solving the big worry of Li Tai, Li Chengqian felt that the invisible shackles on him were also broken.

Du He nodded and said, "Your Highness, as long as you keep doing things according to plan, the throne will definitely be yours."

Hearing Du He say this, Li Chengqian's face was filled with a happy smile.

Du He continued, "But the King of Wei and his staff will definitely not give up. I'm worried that they will rebel in the future."

Li Chengqian waved his hands nonchalantly and said, "If Li Tai rebels against the court, it will be a great thing for me!"

"He was just like Qi Wang Li You. He had no foundation in the army. The final result was that he was quickly suppressed by the imperial army!"

Most of the world was conquered by his father, and most of the generals and soldiers obeyed his father's orders. No one would be able to succeed in a rebellion in his fiefdom.
