Traveling through Du He, Li Chengqian's rebellion begins

When Fang Xuanling said this, it seemed as if all the strength in his body had been drained away, and his tone sounded very weak.

His already old face now looked sickly pale.

The old housekeeper consoled him with concern: "Master, you are the pillar of the Fang family. You must take good care of yourself and never get too angry!"

After saying this, he bowed deeply and respectfully toward Fang Xuanling, then walked to the entrance of the hall and waited.

Fang Xuanling paced back and forth in the hall with his hands behind his back, deep in thought. His expression changed from gloomy to bright, making it impossible to guess what he was feeling.

a long time.

Fang Xuanling sighed and said, "Alas, this is not a solution after all!"

"We have to think of a way to help this rebellious son!"

Although Gao Yang is a favored princess, she cannot bring disgrace to the Fang family.

Moreover, Fang Yiai had recently been having problems getting along with Princess Gaoyang, which caused that rebellious son to lose control of his emotions and cause him to make a big mistake in Taiji Hall.

If the trend continues like this, something bad will happen to that rebellious son sooner or later.

Fang Xuanling called softly toward the lobby door: "Fang Zhong, come in for a moment."

As Fang Xuanling finished his words, the old butler with a white beard who was guarding outside the lobby ran in quickly.

He clasped his fists respectfully and saluted, "What do you want, sir?"

Fang Xuanling frowned and asked, "Has that rebellious son behaved in any unusual way recently?"

Currently, the only person in the Fang family who is called a rebellious son is Fang Yiai. His other three brothers are all honest and decent people.

Especially the eldest son Fang Yizheng, he is an honest and law-abiding person.

The old housekeeper replied respectfully, "My lord, on the day the second young master went to Prince Consort Chai's residence, the descendants of the Yin family also went there and stayed for more than an hour before leaving."

"Moreover, the Second Young Master has been getting close to Prince Teng recently. They frequently go in and out of Baihua Tower and Cuixiang Tower."

When Fang Xuanling heard that Fang Yiai's rebellious son did not do his job properly and spent all day hanging out with questionable people, he was so angry that his beard was shaking.

The dandy character of Prince Teng was no secret to these high-ranking officials in the court.

It was also his suggestion to Li Shimin to send Prince Teng back to Chang'an for education.

I didn't expect that the rebellious son was so blind that he would choose to fool around with Prince Teng. I really want to make him angry to death.

If this unfortunate child was half as smart as Du He, he would appear in front of the prince every day and the prince would not have to send people to keep an eye on him.

Fang Xuanling said in a deep voice: "Send someone to keep an eye on that rebellious son. If he does anything stupid, report to me immediately!"

"Also, send someone to secretly monitor Princess Gaoyang, especially what happened between her and Monk Bianji. We must investigate it thoroughly!"

When the old butler heard that the master wanted to monitor Princess Gaoyang, his heart skipped a beat and his skinny hands trembled slightly.

Master, you have endured for so long, and now you finally don’t want to endure it anymore?

The old butler said in a deep voice: "As you command!"

He followed Fang Xuanling for decades. Not only was he given the surname Fang, but all of his descendants also held local official positions with the recommendation of their master.

Seeing Princess Gaoyang bullying the second young master and not giving the master any face at all, he was filled with dislike for Gaoyang.

Now that the master is going to take action against Princess Gaoyang, he feels relieved.

...

The next day.

When Du He was handling government affairs in the Ministry of Industry seriously, there was suddenly a very loud noise outside the lobby.

"Why are you arresting people?"

"Do you know where this place is? How dare you come to the Ministry of Industry to act wildly? You think you are tired of living, right?"

"Let me go quickly. I am from the Jingzhao Du family. Otherwise, I will make you pay for it!"

When Du He heard these arrogant voices, his brows furrowed tightly and he had no intention of continuing to handle government affairs.

Just then, someone knocked on the office door.

"Knock knock knock."

Soon Xiao Kai's excited voice was heard.

"Minister Du, Doctor Xiao Kai from the Ministry of Justice wants to see you."

Du He held his forehead helplessly and said, "Doctor Xiao, please come in."

As Du He finished speaking, the heavy door of the office was quickly pushed open, and Xiao Kai strode in with a smile on his face.

He came up to Du He and winked at him, saying, "Brother Du, the people from the Dali Temple are coming. They are going to arrest Du Tao, Du Chaosheng, Du Qifeng, and Du Ye!"

"Now these four people are trying to resist arrest and are throwing tantrums in the lobby."

After saying this, a gloating smile appeared on Xiao Kai's face.

He didn't expect Cui Shenji and the people from the Dali Temple to be so efficient. It had only been a few days since he submitted the evidence, but he didn't expect the people from the Dali Temple to come so quickly.

Du He stood up and said with a smile: "Doctor Xiao, let's go out and take a look."

"Don't let this group of lawless corrupt officials affect the image of our Ministry of Industry by violently resisting arrest!"

Dealing with these four people is only the first step. Next, the other members of the Jingzhao Du family will be dealt with one by one.

Now in the court, the people of Jingzhao Du family want to compete with him for connections and power, but how can they possibly win against him?

This is because Du He did not use his relationship with the crown prince, otherwise the people of Jingzhao Du family would have been dealt with by him long ago.

Xiao Kai nodded and said, "Minister Du, let's get out quickly, otherwise the people from the Dali Temple will detain them and we will miss the chance to watch the show!"

"You didn't see it just now. They were very tough at first, but then they changed their faces very quickly."

These four people were very tough at the beginning. Not only did they bring up the families behind them, but they also verbally threatened the people in the Dali Temple.

But when Li Gan, the warden of the Dali Temple, directly ordered the jailers to take action, the four men panicked instantly and began to beg for mercy and surrender.

As the second son of Duke Song Xiao Yu, Xiao Kai did not dare to say anything harsh when he made a mistake and was arrested and interrogated by people from the Dali Temple.

I didn't expect that just a few members of the Jingzhao Du family would dare to speak so arrogantly.

He really has no idea what is good for him!

When Du He and Xiao Kai walked out of the office, they happened to see Yu Chang, the Minister of Works, walking out, and his face looked extremely ugly.

Yu Chang clasped his fists towards Du He and said, "Minister Du, I will handle this minor matter."

Du He waved his hand and said, "Minister Yu, let's go and take a look together. Don't make it difficult for the people in the Dali Temple, and don't let the people in the Shangshu Province and the various ministries laugh at you."

The six ministries and the Secretariat are all in this area. The Ministry of Works has made such a big fuss that people from the surrounding ministries will definitely know about it.

Yu Chang nodded and said, "Yes!"

Outside the lobby.

Several Dali Temple jailers had already captured the four people from the Jingzhao Du family, but they were struggling violently and continued to curse.

The officials watching in the hall all had expressions of astonishment on their faces.

They knew that these four men were members of the Jingzhao Du family. When Du Chuke was the Minister of Works, these four men never looked anyone in the eye and walked with their noses in the air.
