Traveling through Du He, Li Chengqian's rebellion begins

The big issue was resolved, and Li Chengqian felt extremely happy.

He leaned comfortably against the back of the chair, then spoke to Du He with a relaxed look.

"Du He, ask Pei Xingjian to come to the East Palace tomorrow. I will give him 2000 strings of cash first."

"Recruiting spies, purchasing houses, horses and equipment cannot be delayed. They must be configured as soon as possible so that the spies can get on the right track as soon as possible."

Currently, Pei Xingjian and the leaders of the four halls have begun to expand the spy team in an orderly manner according to the plan formulated by Du He.

This price list was drawn up by Pei Xingjian, based on the silver that was currently needed.

Du He nodded and said, "Okay."

His current identity is rather sensitive, and it is not convenient for him to take the silver back from the East Palace, so it is most appropriate to let Pei Xingjian take the silver.

Moreover, the current fight between Du He and the Jingzhao Du family has made him the focus of attention.

Li Chengqian then asked, "Du He, Prince Teng Li Yuanying is about to go to his fiefdom. Have you thought about how to place someone to monitor him?"

Although Li Yuanying posed no threat, he certainly had close contacts with Li Tai, and through him there was a chance to get the general dynamics of Li Tai's rebellion.

Du He said softly: "Qinglongtang has found a famous craftsman who is good at building pavilions, and he has successfully sneaked into Li Yuanying's palace."

"This craftsman is eloquent and knows how to please others. He should be able to become a guest of honor for Li Yuanying."

According to the information Du He currently has, he believes that using the tactic of playing to Li Yuanying's favor will be more effective than using the beauty trap, and the process will be faster.

If nothing unexpected happens, the first thing Li Yuanying would do after he goes to the fiefdom is to build the Tengwang Pavilion.

This guy had a strong obsession with building the Tengwang Pavilion, and no matter how Li Shimin educated him, he could not change it.

Li Chengqian said with relief when he saw that Du He had already taken action.

"Du He, I am very confident in your work!"

Then the two chatted for a while, and seeing that it was almost time to get off duty, Du He quickly left the East Palace.

When they were less than a mile away from Princess Chengyang's Mansion, a middle-aged man in a white robe blocked Du He's carriage.

Du He's guards hurriedly rode forward and scolded him harshly.

"who are you?"

"Get out of the way!"

The middle-aged man who was blocking the road did not show any change in his expression despite being scolded.

He took out a sealed letter from his wide sleeves, handed it to the guard and said.

"Please give this letter to Prince Consort Du and tell him that an old friend wants to ask you something."

After handing over the letter, the middle-aged man quickly walked into the crowd and disappeared from the guards' sight in a few breaths.

The guard did not dare to delay and hurriedly rode back to Du He's carriage to report.

"Master, a middle-aged man just gave you a secret letter."

"It is said that an old friend wants to ask for a favor!"

Inside the carriage.

Du He frowned slightly.

He discovered that this group of people always liked to stop his carriage when they were looking for him, and they also knew the route and time of his carriage.

It seems that these people are very familiar with the movements of his carriage!

"Looks like I need to ask Li Chengqian for a few guards!"

Du He muttered, then opened the curtain and said, "Give me the letter."

"promise!"

The guard responded and then quickly handed the letter to Du He.

After Du He took the secret letter, he lowered the curtain of the carriage again.

Looking at this familiar letter, Du He instantly thought of Yin Yushan, the cold and beautiful woman who brought disaster to the country and the people.

"Could it be that bitch Yin Yushan?"

With doubts, Du He quickly opened the secret letter.

"The memorial submitted by the King of Wei to His Majesty to depose and enthrone the princess has been sent to the Ministry of Shangshu. I would like to ask Master Du to help. I miss you, Yushan!"

Looking at the signature, Du He got goose bumps all over his body.

"This woman is so brave!"

"How dare you tease me?"

Du He prided himself on being thick-skinned, but he didn't expect that Yin Yushan, a woman, could be so open-minded.

All in all, the two of them had only met twice.

How could an ordinary woman dare to say such words? This shows that Yin Yushan is not the kind of person who is bound by the world!

Du He tore the letter into pieces, then frowned and thought.

"The Ministry of Rites is responsible for all matters related to the marriage ceremonies of princes and princesses, but the important matter of deposing and enthroning a princess can only be decided by Li Shimin alone."

"Li Shimin would definitely not make a decision on such an important matter alone, but would call all the ministers to the Liangyi Hall to discuss the matter."

He is now the Minister of Works. When Li Shimin has major issues that he cannot resolve, he rarely looks for him to discuss matters.

At present, Li Shimin's most trusted ministers are still Zhangsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Li Jing, Hou Junji, Liu Li, Xiao Yu and Chu Suiliang.

"Hey! Let's just take it one step at a time!"

If it really doesn't work, I will submit a memorial to the emperor to ruin the matter.

Du He lay on the soft cushion, his body swaying gently from side to side with Dian Po's carriage, while thinking in his heart the pros and cons of Li Tai changing his princess.

While thinking, Du He suddenly had an idea.

He sat up suddenly from the carriage and murmured in surprise.

"That old fellow Yan Lide seems to be serving as the Junior Minister of the Imperial Guards!"

Because when Yan Lide was supervising the construction of the city wall in Liaodong City, it collapsed, causing the soldiers stationed on it to be buried to death.

After being imprisoned for a period of time, the chief architect Yan Lide was demoted by Li Shimin to the position of Junior Secretary of the Imperial Guard!

Now Li Tai wants to replace Princess Yan Wan. As Yan Wan's father, Yan Lide must hate Li Tai to the core.

Fang Yiai, who served as the Secretary of the Weiwei Temple, was under the supervision of his superior Yan Lide, so it would not be easy for him to cause trouble.

Moreover, the current Minister of Weiwei Temple is Xue Huaiyu, who is from the Hedong Xue family, and his tenth son Xue Guan is also the second husband of Princess Chengyang Li Yi in the original history.

"Good guy!"

"Why is Weiwei Temple full of weird people?"

Du He frowned and thought helplessly.

When there is no war, the Weiwei Temple is a small and invisible force in the imperial court, but this does not mean that what they are responsible for are not important.

It was in charge of the arsenals of the two capitals of the Tang Dynasty. All weapons, armor and siege equipment were allocated by the Weiwei Temple.

...

The next day.

After the court meeting of all officials ended.

Li Shimin first looked at Yan Lide with shame, then said with a hint of anger on his face.

"Zhangsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Hou Junji, Zhang Shigui, Gao Shilian and Chu Suiliang, you can follow me to the Liangyi Hall to discuss matters!"

Before the court officials could respond, Li Shimin continued.

"Du He, Li Ji and Xiao Yu, come over here too!"

The ministers whose names were called by Li Shimin stood up and bowed.

"Sir, obey the order!"
