Traveling through Du He, Li Chengqian's rebellion begins

It's okay to bully Prince Teng, but it's not wise to criticize Li Tai outside, even though he has been sent to a fiefdom by Li Shimin.

The more favored princes and princes have very different statuses.

If Li Shimin knew about the criticism of Li Tai, he would probably punish them all.

After hearing Du He's reminder, Cui Shenji, Wang Jingzhi and Xiao Kai's faces changed and they all shut their mouths.

After the three of them calmed down, Du He's expression became serious and he asked Cui Shenji.

"Brother Cui, tell me how Yin Yushan got entangled with the King of Wei?"

"And Fang Yiai and Prince Teng, how come they are mixed up together?"

Having been away fighting for more than half a year, he was not aware of many of the major and minor events that took place in Chang'an City.

Especially the spies from the Eastern Palace, what they found out were just trivial matters and there was not much useful information.

Du He even wondered whether there were King Wei's men among the spies in the Eastern Palace.

This is also the reason why Du He promoted Pei Xingjian to become the leader of the Eastern Palace spies.

Cui Shenji nodded and said, "Just before the King of Wei got into trouble, he had entertained Wang Jishan, Li Zhen, Cui Shouye, Zhang Liangke and others many times, and used huge benefits to win them over."

"Because I have a close relationship with Cui Shouye, he told me all the news about the Prince of Wei's Palace."

When Du He heard that Li Tai wanted to win over the descendants of this group of neutral ministers, a sneer appeared on his face.

Wang Jishan is the eldest son of General Wang Jun'e of the Left Guard. Now Wang Jun'e has sided with Li Chengqian and it is impossible for him to get along with Li Tai.

Li Zhen is the eldest son of Li Ji, the Minister of Personnel. Li Ji is too good at protecting himself to choose sides.

Even if he chooses a side, it can't be Li Tai.

After all, in the battle outside Anshi City, Li Ji was tricked by Li Tai.

It is not so easy for Li Ji to forget this great vengeance.

Cui Shouye is the second son of Cui Dunli, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of War. Cui Dunli and Li Ji are both smart men, and they will only remain neutral.

In addition to their own understanding, there are also considerations about the family's investment in the prince.

Cui Dunli was born into the Cui family of Boling. Since his clan member Cui Renshi was supporting Li Tai, it was impossible for him to support Li Tai anymore.

It is impossible for a large family to put all its eggs in one basket.

Zhang Liangke is the second son of Zhang Xingcheng, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice. In the past, the relationship between Zhang Xingcheng and Li Tai was unclear, so it is possible that he supported Li Tai.

But now Li Chengqian's reputation has spread far and wide. If Zhang Xingcheng is a smart man, he will definitely change his mind.

Cui Shenji continued, "Yin Yushan appeared beside the King of Wei in mid-to-late October last year, and during the banquet, Yin Yushan sat below the King of Wei."

"It can be seen that her position in the heart of the King of Wei is higher than that of Wei Ting and Du Chuke. I think the King of Wei intends to make her a concubine."

"Yin Yushan also has an older brother named Yin Yuhe, who was recommended by the King of Wei to be the governor of Weizhou some time ago."

Having said that, Choi Sun-ki spread his hands and said.

"Brother Du, this is all I know about the evil woman Yin Yushan."

Yin Yushan was so mysterious that he asked a group of good friends, but no one knew her past story.

Fang Yiai and Chai Lingwu must be aware of the inside story, but Cui Shenji does not have a good relationship with them, and is even in a hostile state.

It is basically impossible to get information from the two of them.

Du He nodded, then muttered to himself.

"The remnants of the Yin family are mixed up with Li Tai, and Your Majesty did not stop them. This is quite interesting!"

The Yin family and the Li royal family have a blood feud, and Yin Hongzhi also tricked Li You into rebelling in March last year, which led to Li You being demoted to a commoner and killed.

After such a bloody lesson, Li Shimin still dared to let people from the Yin family stay with Li Tai.

Is it that Li Shimin is fearless and does not take Yin Yushan and Yin Yuhe seriously, or does Li Shimin have other intentions?

But given Li Shimin's love for Li Tai, it would be impossible for him to let these two evildoers stay with his beloved son for a long time!

Cui Shenji continued, "In the past, Fang Yiai and Chai Lingwu always followed behind the King of Wei and had no connection with the King of Teng, Li Yuanying."

"But not long after the King of Wei left for his fiefdom, Fang Yiai and Chai Lingwu started hanging out with Li Yuanying."

"Also, Li Yuanying has turned 15, and His Majesty has ordered him to return to Tengzhou next month to assume his fiefdom, so they have been coming to Baihua Tower every now and then recently."

After Cui Shenji finished speaking, Wang Jingzhi said with disdain on his face.

"It is estimated that Fang Yiai and Chai Lingwu saw that the King of Wei was demoted, and they were afraid that following the King of Wei would affect their official careers, so they drew a clear line with the King of Wei and turned to follow Li Yuanying."

"Fang Sikong is a typical example. He was badly cheated by Fang Yiai!"

For people from big families like them, they will support whichever prince is most beneficial to them.

Du He frowned and nodded, falling into deep thought.

Yin Yushan appeared beside Li Tai in mid-to-late October last year, just as the incident of the ghost killing was making headlines during that period.

"Could the Yin brothers and sisters be the mastermind behind this?"

Thinking of this, Du He's eyes lit up.

Judging from Li Tai's series of actions during this period, it is likely that Li Tai wanted to collude with several royal relatives to rebel together, and it was also the Yin brothers and sisters who were behind it.

"Good guy!"

"It seems that Li Tai is also going to give Li Shimin a big surprise!"

It depends on whether they can remain calm and wait until Li Shimin dies of illness before rebelling.

However, Du He believes that they can't wait, because not everyone has a God's perspective. They can't guess that Li Shimin, who is in his early 40s, will have serious health problems, right?

After thinking for a moment, Du He changed the subject.

"Three brothers, we are not going to discuss the King of Wei and his men. I called you out today mainly because I want you to do me a favor."

Hearing that they were going to discuss serious matters, the expressions of the Three Musketeers turned serious.

Cui Shenji asked in a deep voice: "Brother Du, do you want us to help you deal with the officials of the Jingzhao Du family?"

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

Now that he has already broken off relations with the family, and the family members are preparing to take action against him, he has no choice but to strike first.

Cui Shenji patted his chest and said, "Brother Du, your business is our business. Just tell us how you want us to cooperate with you!"

It's okay to let him cause trouble, but it's difficult to let him think of any schemes.

Wang Jingzhi and Xiao Kai also patted their chests and echoed.

"Brother Du, the brothers will definitely help you with all their strength!"

"Without Brother Du in charge, the Jingzhao Du family is nothing compared to our three families!"

They are very arrogant and have the capital to be arrogant.

Du He smiled and said, "I plan to start with the Du officials in the Ministry of Works. Brother Xiao and Brother Wang, help me find their crimes, and Brother Cui, you will impeach them."

"Zhongshu Sheren Du Jingtong, I will ask others to take action."

These three guys have average IQs and can only deal with ordinary minions.

Du Jingtong served as Zhongshu Sheren, an official position above the fifth rank, and needed to be dealt with by someone more capable.

"For example, the Imperial Censor Ma Zhou!"
