Traveling through Du He, Li Chengqian's rebellion begins

You have to know that Du He's father died quite early, and now that he has broken up with Jingzhao Du family, there is no one to protect him.

Xiao Kai licked his dry lips and asked, "Brother Du, are you serious?"

Du He smiled and said, "How can I lie to you about such an important matter?"

"It probably won't be long before the Jingzhao Du family will reveal this news to the family behind you."

If the Jingzhao Du family wanted to take action against the three brothers, they would definitely spread the word and ask people from other families not to get involved.

"call!"

Xiao Kai's breathing became rapid.

He said with a slightly trembling voice: "Brother Du, no wonder you were promoted to Minister of Works so quickly, you are so brave!"

"I definitely can't make such an important decision!"

As a close friend, Xiao Kai knew the relationship between Du He and the Jingzhao Du family. Although they did not develop a grudge against each other, they did not have any contact on a daily basis.

Now Du He is in a high position and has a secure future as he relies on the crown prince. I didn't expect that a group of elders from the Jingzhao Du family would still do this. They are so short-sighted!

Xiao Kai patted his chest and said, "Brother Du, don't worry. Brother Cui, Brother Wang and I are your strongest backers!"

"With us supporting you, if the Jingzhao Du family wants to mess around, they'll have to think carefully!"

Although the Jingzhao Du family is large, it is probably still slightly inferior to the Lanling Xiao family, the Taiyuan Wang family and the Qinghe Cui family.

Du He smiled and said, "Brother Xiao, I am the Minister of Industry, why would I be afraid of the Du family?"

"But right now I have a small favor that I need you to do for me!"

When Xiao Kai heard that Du He had something to ask for his help, his expression became serious.

He asked doubtfully, "Brother Du, do you want to take action against the Du family members in the Ministry of Works?"

Du He nodded and said, "That's right!"

I thought Xiao Kai was an uneducated second-generation rich man, but I didn't expect that he was so sensitive to officialdom.

Xiao Kai said directly: "Brother Du, leave this matter to me. I will find evidence of their favoritism and fraud!"

"Invite Brother Cui and Brother Wang to Baihua Tower to listen to music tonight, and tell them about this matter."

"Brother Cui is the Imperial Censor of the Palace. I will give him the evidence and ask him to impeach these officials of the Du family!"

He might not be able to deal with Du Chuke and Du Jingtong, but it would be easy for him to deal with a group of minions.

Xiao Kai knew that by doing so, he would completely offend the Jingzhao Du family and drag their Xiao family into the quagmire.

However, being on the same boat with Du He is the most beneficial thing for him.

Du He nodded slightly and said, "Brother Xiao, thank you very much!"

Just then, there was a gentle knock on the door.

"Doctor Xiao, there is a landslide in Jingzhao Prefecture, which has damaged many houses. We need you to go and handle it!"

Du He waved to Xiao Kai and said, "Brother Xiao, you go and get busy first."

"it is good!"

Xiao Kai responded, then opened the door and walked out.

Du He shook his head, then opened the documents on the desk and looked through them carefully.

After noon.

The maid Linglong hurried to the Ministry of Works holding Li Yi's princess token.

She panted and said, "My Lord, the princess wants you to go back to the mansion now. The banquet is about to begin!"

Du He raised an eyebrow and asked, "So early?"

There are still nearly two hours left before the end of the shift. Wouldn't it be a bit bad to sneak back early on the first day in office?

Moreover, it is rare to hold a banquet at this time.

Linglong whispered, "Originally the banquet was scheduled for sunset, but His Majesty sent a eunuch over not long ago to ask Her Royal Highness the Princess to return to the palace to eat tonight."

"Also let Her Royal Highness the Princess and the Crown Prince stay in the palace for two days."

"So Her Royal Highness the Princess changed the time of the banquet to now."

After she finished speaking, her fair and delicate face turned red with shame, and even her earlobes turned red.

Since Her Royal Highness the Princess is not in the mansion, doesn't that mean she has to sleep with the Prince Consort?

Du He stood up and said, "Okay, let's go back to the princess's mansion now."

"Uh-huh."

Linglong lowered her head and responded softly.

Before going back, Du He specifically informed Yu Chang, the Minister of Works.

"Minister Yu, I have to go out for something. You can handle the minor matters by yourself, and leave the major matters for tomorrow!"

"promise!"

Yu Chang stood up and responded respectfully.

Seeing Du He and a young and beautiful woman walking out of the Ministry of Industry, a group of industry officers in the lobby gathered together to discuss the matter.

"I'm not wrong, Du Shangshu is not a quiet person!"

"On the first day of taking office, he took the beauty out to have fun!"

"It seems that our Ministry of Industry will continue to rank last among the six ministries in this year's assessment!"

Just as they were chatting excitedly, a loud roar with full energy sounded behind them.

"What are you all talking about?"

"Is there no work to do?"

Hearing this familiar roar, the deployment officers ran back to their offices, lowered their heads and pretended to look through the memorials.

After Yu Chang finished yelling, he strode to the middle of the group of officials, swept his sharp eyes over them and said.

"The woman who is looking for Minister Du is Princess Chengyang's personal maid!"

"If I find out who is gossiping about this, forget about working in the Ministry of Industry!"

Yu Chang knew very well the nature of these subordinates.

Every one of them is a person who likes to join in the fun. Once good things are spread among them, they will turn into bad things.

When the officials of the Ministry of Works heard that the beautiful woman who was looking for Minister Du was actually Princess Chengyang's maid, their gossipy hearts disappeared without a trace in an instant.

...

Princess Chengyang's Mansion.

When Du He and Ling Long rushed back, they found that except for Li Yi and a few princesses who were chatting and laughing, most of the princesses had unhappy faces.

When Li Yi saw Du He come in, she stood up happily and said.

"My husband is back!"

The other princesses all looked at Du He, their eyes filled with complex emotions such as envy, jealousy and confusion.

Du He first smiled and nodded at Li Yi, then saluted to all the princesses.

"Greetings to the princesses."

Princess Changle Li Lizhi, who was holding Du Ping'an, said to Du He with a smile.

"We are all family members, so there is no need to be polite."

Her status and position were the highest among all the princesses, so she was the one who answered the question.

Du He clasped his fists again and said, "Thank you, Princess."

This is the red tape of the Tang Dynasty. No matter how close the relationship is, etiquette cannot be abolished.

Li Lizhi looked Du He up and down and said jokingly, "Du Shangshu is wearing a Jinxian crown, a purple robe, and a thirteen-buckle gold and jade belt. He is really impressive!"

"You have to help Chang Sun Chong in the future. That idiot has no ambition and has been in Zongzheng Temple for quite a long time."

Du He waved his hands and said, "Princess Changle, you are joking. Zong Zhengqing is very talented and capable. I should learn a lot from him."
