Traveling through Du He, Li Chengqian's rebellion begins

Moreover, this group of well-informed officials also knew that the new Minister of Works, Du He, also came from the super-large family of Jingzhao Du.

It was originally thought that after Du He took office, the four of them would still be able to maintain their previous power.

They didn't expect that they would be arrested by the people from Dali Temple today, and they only targeted the four of them. It was really beyond everyone's expectations.

"Could this be Du Shangshu's doing?"

"But aren't they a family? Why are they killing each other?"

This group of experienced officials, thinking of how Du Ye had instigated them to go to the Censorate to sue Minister Du, immediately came up with this absurd idea.

Just as they were full of thoughts, Du He, Yu Chang and Xiao Kai walked out from the corridor.

"Meetings, Mr. Du."

"Greetings to Minister Yu."

The officials around him stood up straight and saluted Du He respectfully with their fists clasped.

When several officials from the Dali Temple saw Du He and Yu Chang coming out with serious faces, they also bowed respectfully.

"Greetings to Minister Du and Minister Yu."

Du He, who was walking in front, waved at them and then came to Li Gan and others.

Du He smiled at Li Gan and said, "Li Yucheng, we meet again."

When he took Xi Junmai to the Dali Temple prison to kill Hegan Chengji, he dealt with this prison warden, and this guy helped him a lot in disguise.

Du He had a good impression of this clever prison warden, and that was why he was impressed by him.

When Li Gan, the warden of the Dali Temple, saw that Du He still remembered him, a blush of excitement suddenly appeared on his face.

He said happily: "I didn't expect that such a great man as Minister Du would still remember me. I am really moved to tears!"

If your name is remembered by a big shot like Du He, you might be promoted suddenly in the future.

Du He smiled and nodded, then asked knowingly, "Minister Li, I wonder what these four officials from the Ministry of Works have done wrong?"

Li Gan reported without changing his expression: "Reporting to Minister Du, these four people have committed crimes such as insubordination, favoritism and corruption, and corruption and abuse of power."

"The Dali Temple has received the charges submitted by the Censorate. We will now arrest them and bring them to the Dali Temple for questioning!"

Wow!

The construction officers around the lobby suddenly made a commotion.

Unexpectedly, the four people from the Jingzhao Du family were actually impeached by the people from the Censorate, and they were given solid evidence.

At this point, even if the Jingzhao Du family mobilized more resources, it would probably be of no avail.

Yu Chang looked at Du He strangely, his brows slightly furrowed, but he didn't say much.

There was silence for a few moments.

Du He waved his hand and said, "Minister Li, since the Censorate has impeached them, then take them back to the Dali Temple for trial."

"If they resist openly, you should use some means to subdue them. Feel free to use them boldly!"

"Thinking that there are so many corrupt officials in our Ministry of Works, I, as the Minister of Works, have no face to meet His Majesty!"

Although Du He's words were addressed to the four people from the Jingzhao Du family, the eyelids of the construction officers around the hall all twitched at the same time.

They all secretly reminded themselves that they needed to keep a low profile during this period to avoid being caught by Du He.

You have to know that the first thing the newly appointed Minister Du did was to target his family members, and wouldn’t the second time he targeted them be even more brutal?

The four people who were originally shouting loudly all showed angry expressions on their faces after hearing Du He's words.

"Du He, you vicious thief!"

"You attacked us, and you're still pretending to be so!"

"I bother!"

These four people actually dared to go against the Minister of Works Du He in public, and their words were extremely arrogant.

All the officials in the hall were stunned.

Such bravery, whose subordinates are they?

Li Gan, the chief of the Dali Temple, saw that Du He's face was not right, so he ordered in a deep voice: "You are committing treason, slap him in the face!"

The jailers didn't hesitate at all. They used their big hands to beat the four people from the Jingzhao Du family left and right.

"Snapped!"

"Snapped!"

Loud slaps suddenly filled the entire hall, and all the officials were terrified.

Outside the gate of the Ministry of Industry, many people from other departments gathered. They all looked inside and made a lot of discussions.

Yu Chang did not say anything to stop the jailer's actions.

After all, what these four people said was so brainless that they even dared to openly slander Du He, the Minister of Works, in front of the people from the Dali Temple.

It didn't take long.

The four men's cheeks were swollen from the beatings, and blood was flowing from the corners of their mouths.

"That's about it." Du He suddenly said, then waved his hand and said, "Prison Minister Li, take them back to the Dali Temple for trial!"

"promise!"

Li Gan responded.

He then gave orders to the jailers to take the four criminals away.

Du He kept a serious expression, turned to Yu Chang and said, "Minister Yu, I need to go to the East Palace to meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, so I will leave the Ministry of Works to you."

Yu Chang quickly clasped his fists and replied, "As you wish!"

After Du He had completely walked out of the Ministry of Industry, Yu Chang waved to the construction officers and said.

"Everyone, please stop crowding around and quickly deal with the government affairs at hand. Minister Du will lead us to do great things in a while!"

An old official asked curiously, "Minister Yu, I wonder what Minister Du wants to take us to do. Can you tell me a little bit?"

The other officials also looked at Yu Chang expectantly, their hearts full of curiosity.

It's not that they are a good group of people, but Du He's performance is really unreliable. He only stays in the Ministry of Works for a while every day and is nowhere to be seen the rest of the time.

Yu Chang's face froze, and he said solemnly: "Why are you so curious? You will know when the time comes!"

After saying this, he left the lobby with his hands behind his back.

Although he himself was not clear about what Du He exactly wanted to do, he trusted Du He very much and did not think that he was talking nonsense.

After all, Du He was able to create "Pinyin" and "Chinese Dictionary", and also revolutionized printing technology, so he must have other good things that he hasn't come up with yet.

Xiao Kai, who knew the truth, had a faint smile on his face.

...

Zhongshu Province.

Zhongshu Sheren Du Jingtong was originally drafting a memorial carefully, but an official he was on good terms with suddenly came to find him.

"Brother Du, something happened!"

Du Jingtong frowned and asked, "Brother Yu, what happened?"

The man's name was Yu Lizheng, the Deputy Director of the Ministry of Personnel, and he was Yu Zhining's eldest son.

He was born in Gaoling, Jingzhao, and belonged to a noble family in Jingzhao Prefecture, so he was close to Du Chuke.

Yu Lizheng lowered his voice and said, "This morning, people from the Dali Temple went to the Ministry of Works and arrested Du Tao, Du Chaosheng, Du Qifeng, and Du Ye!"

"Moreover, the jailer of the Dali Temple slapped the four of them in the face in front of everyone."

"When they were escorted out of the Ministry of Industry, blood was oozing from the corners of their mouths!"

Upon hearing this bad news, Du Jingtong was struck by lightning.

He gritted his teeth and said, "It must be that thief Du He who did this!"
