Traveling through Du He, Li Chengqian's rebellion begins

If it were any other time, Fang Yiai would have jumped up with excitement, but this time the expression on his face did not show any particular surprise.

He nodded with a complicated expression, and then whispered, "Thank you, Brother Chai."

Although Du He did not take the initiative to tease Gao Yang, Gao Yang actually embroidered a poem written by Du He on the screen in the dormitory. He could not get over this hurdle no matter what.

If Gao Yang didn't have a crush on Du He, why did he only embroider Du He's poems?

He was Gao Yang's husband, and his poems were selected into "Three Hundred Tang Poems". Why didn't Gao Yang embroider his poem?

There are also poems written by other great scholars, which Gao Yang did not embroider on the screen.

It is obvious that there must be an unspeakable relationship between Gao Yang and Du He!

After Chai Lingwu saw that the officials around him had gone far away, he put his hand on Fang Yiai's shoulder and spoke in a low voice with a serious expression.

"Brother Fang, that bitch Yin Yushan sent someone to deliver a letter to me last night!"

Fang Yiai raised his eyebrows and asked, "Brother Chai, why did she come to you?"

Thinking of Yin Yushan, this beautiful woman, Fang Yiai's heart was burning with excitement, and he wished he could take her as his concubine immediately.

But with the two huge mountains of King Wei and Gaoyang standing between him, he could only dare to think about it in his mind.

This incredibly beautiful woman was destined to be someone he would never get in his lifetime.

Chai Lingwu whispered, "Yin Yushan said in the letter that she has a way to send Lasiti and Gunali back to Chang'an without your Majesty knowing!"

"what!"

Fang Yiai's expression suddenly became extremely shocked.

"Can Yin Yushan bring Gunali back to Chang'an secretly?"

Although Gunali had not spent a long time with him, Fang Yiai felt the tenderness and care of a wife from her.

Moreover, the joy of the boudoir made him linger.

Fang Yiai asked with some concern: "Brother Chai, why did Yin Yushan help us for no reason?"

"Does she want something from us?"

This icy beauty is actually a poisonous scorpion. Don’t be fooled by her cold and noble appearance. She is more evil than Du He.

And everything she does is very purposeful.

If there was no benefit in it, why would she spend so much effort on it?

Chai Lingwu shook his head and said, "Yin Yushan didn't make any requests, she just said that she could help us and our loved ones get back together as soon as possible!"

He was also very puzzled as to why Yin Yushan would do such a thankless task.

"this..."

Fang Yiai fell into silence.

He could easily bring Gunali back to Chang'an, but the difficulty lay in how to avoid being discovered by His Majesty's men.

Chai Lingwu continued, "Brother Fang, we don't have to worry too much. Yin Yushan is very capable, and there shouldn't be any problem letting her run the operation."

"Don't you want to see Gunali soon?"

Thinking of that exotic beauty and the fact that Gao Yang had been unfaithful to him many times, Fang Yiai's breathing became rapid.

He said to Chai Lingwu: "Brother Chai, let Yin Yushan do this favor. At worst, we can owe her a favor!"

Chai Lingwu rubbed his hands and said expectantly: "Okay!"

Then the two buddies left arm in arm, and occasionally let out a sly laugh.

...

On the other side, when Du He returned to the Ministry of Industry to handle government affairs seriously, someone suddenly knocked on the door of his office.

"Knock knock knock."

Xiao Kai's voice was then heard outside the door.

"Minister Du, the Minister of the Honglu Temple Pei Xingjian wants to see you."

Hearing Pei Xingjian coming, Du He put down the memorial in his hand and spoke loudly towards the direction of the gate.

"Doctor Xiao, please invite Minister Pei in."

Not long after, Xiao Kai brought Pei Xingjian in, and he left Du He's office with a smile.

Ever since Du He took office as the Minister of Works, Xiao Kai has become more free to act within the Ministry of Works, and he feels relaxed and happy every day on duty.

Even at home, I don't feel this comfortable.

However, he also knew his limits. In front of other officials, Xiao Kai still respectfully addressed Du He as "Du Shangshu".

Pei Xingjian clasped his fists towards Du He and said, "Prince Consort Du, I have revised the sacrificial text that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will read. Please have a look at it."

Du He said in surprise: "Shou Yue, you are really fast!"

After taking the sacrificial text handed over by Pei Xingjian, Du He began to read it carefully.

The words that come into view are as graceful as iron and silver, and as agile as a startled dragon.

Du He couldn't help but praise: "The handwriting is so good!"

I didn't expect that a young talent like Pei Xingjian, who was in his early 25s, could write calligraphy that was almost as good as that of calligraphy masters like Chu Suiliang.

Reading the sacrificial text, which had been simplified and adjusted by Pei Xingjian, could actually cause a change in his mood. If ordinary people heard it, they would probably burst into tears.

After reading it, Du He looked at Pei Xingjian with admiration and praised him generously.

"Shou Yue, this sacrificial text is well revised and can be given to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for use!"

This Pei Xingjian is truly a talented person, both civil and military!

Pei Xingjian was all smiles when he received Du He's approval.

Du He put away the memorials on the table, then stood up and said to Pei Xingjian, "Keep your promise, let's go to the East Palace together and sort out the matters that need to be paid attention to in tomorrow's sacrifice."

Pei Xingjian responded respectfully: "Yes!"

After a cup of tea.

Du He and Pei Xingjian came to Mingde Hall in the Eastern Palace.

In addition to Li Chengqian, unexpectedly, Xi Junmai, the Right Guard General, was also in the hall.

Li Chengqian saw Du He and Pei Xingjian coming in. He said with a smile on his face: "Du He, I was just about to ask someone to go to the Ministry of Works to call you, but I didn't expect you to come here with Shou Yue."

After some salutes.

Du He said to Li Chengqian, "Your Highness, Shouyue has already revised the sacrificial text. I think it can be used directly."

Then Du He handed the sacrificial text to Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian simply glanced at it and then said, "Since Du He has no problem checking it, I will follow this tomorrow."

He then said, "Du He, the sacrifice will begin tomorrow. Do you think there is anything you need Jun Mai to do?"

Li Tai made a big mistake at the Mid-Autumn Poetry Festival and has been scolded by the people of Chang'an City until now. He cannot make this low-level mistake again.

Du He thought for a moment and said, "Jun Mai, tomorrow you have to send soldiers to maintain order at the scene. After the ceremony, you have to evacuate the people and then lead the team back."

"If there are people with bad intentions causing disturbances, the Imperial Guards can arrest them directly."

The biggest fear of such a large gathering is that it may cause riots and lead to stampedes.

If a few civilians died at the sacrificial ceremony, this grand sacrifice would probably become a failure.

Xi Junmai replied in a deep voice: "As you command!"

Then everyone discussed for more than two hours and went over all the precautions for the sacrifice.

After the discussion, Li Chengqian originally wanted to keep them in the East Palace for dinner.

Pei Xingjian blushed and said, "Your Highness, Duke Chen invited me to have a meal at his residence yesterday. I agreed first, but I'm afraid I have offended your Highness."
