Traveling through Du He, Li Chengqian's rebellion begins

Ever since he was driven to his fiefdom, the attitudes of several teaching scholars, including Kong Yingda and Zhang Xuansu, towards him changed drastically.

Especially the old man Kong Yingda, who kept saying loyalty to the emperor and patriotism every day, and even forced him to review the Confucian classics from beginning to end.

Li Tai was naturally very clear about Kong Yingda's little thoughts, and was extremely angry.

This damn old man was obviously mocking him for collaborating with the enemy and betraying his country, and for having no regard for his king or his father.

If he had not been afraid of the Kong family's lofty status among scholars, he would have wanted to hang the aggressive Kong Yingda under the city gate of Xiangzhou and cut him into pieces.

The change in attitude of these four teaching scholars also made Li Tai, who loved to study literature, unwilling to step into the Literature Museum.

Du Chuke clasped his fists helplessly and said, "As you command!"

The four great scholars who were originally invited to enhance the reputation of King Wei are now not only unable to play the slightest role, but also causing trouble and confusion for King Wei everywhere.

Moreover, with them in Xiangzhou, the King of Wei would have to be on guard against these four people when he starts a rebellion. Now they have become a burden to the King of Wei.

As for inciting these four great scholars to rebel, it is even more wishful thinking.

Du Chuke knew the temperaments of these four great scholars very well. They were all loyal and upright ministers. Once they knew that the King of Wei was going to rebel, they would definitely report it to the court.

Silence for a few breaths.

Du Chuke took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Li Tai, then said with a gloomy face.

"Your Highness, this is a letter sent to me by my family. It tells me about the major events that happened in Chang'an during this period!"

"We, the Du family, have broken off relations with the three Du He brothers, and now our family members have been subjected to crazy revenge from Du He, causing heavy losses!"

When Du Chuke saw that his family had broken up with the three Du He brothers, he was impressed by his family's courage and that their actions were correct.

After the family made this decision, they could only support him, which was a huge thing for him.

But when he saw Du Jingtong and the other six family members being retaliated by Du He, he was filled with anger towards Du He and wished to kill the three brothers immediately.

"Du He's revenge on the Du family?"

When Li Tai heard the news, his whole face was filled with disbelief.

The only person in the current court who dares to attack the family so blatantly is Du He, right?

Li Tai took the letter with full of curiosity and read it carefully, and soon his brows furrowed.

It’s time for a cup of tea.

Li Tai said in a deep voice: "Du He's behavior is really too much. How could he kill someone from the family?"

"This kind of person is a disgrace to the world. No wonder he is hanging out with Li Chengqian. They are really a nest of snakes and rats!"

Even though he was scolding Du He, the person he was actually scolding was Crown Prince Li Chengqian.

Even though Du He dealt with the Du family members harshly, he still didn't take people like Du He seriously.

After all, people in the royal family are born with a sense of superiority.

Li Tai paused, then frowned and reminded.

"Du Chuke, I see that Du He has no intention of stopping, and there are also Taiyuan Wang family, Lanling Xiao family and Qinghe Cui family helping him."

"Our power in Chang'an is weak. I'm afraid that all the members of your Du family who are serving in Chang'an will not be able to be saved!"

It’s not that Li Tai didn’t want to help Jingzhao Du family, but he really was powerless and didn’t want to make a big deal out of it.

You have to know that the power Du He has currently demonstrated is just the tip of the iceberg. People like Li Chengqian and Hou Junji have not yet finished their work.

Du Chuke nodded and said, "Your Highness, King Wei, I understand, and so do the elders of the family."

Then Du Chuke walked up to Li Tai, lowered his head and spoke in a low voice.

"Because Du He has forced the family into a desperate situation, the family members are now ready to fully support you in starting an uprising!"

"During this period, the family will send outstanding children here for His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei to command."

"By the middle of next year, the family will draw 4000 guards, slaves, and tenants from estates all over the country. We will also provide you with money and food to support you."

Upon hearing that the Jingzhao Du family was ready to support him with the strength of the entire clan, a look of ecstasy instantly appeared on Li Tai's face.

"Great!"

"Du Chuke, tell the Du clan elders that I will not treat them unfairly after I succeed!"

The Jingzhao Du family is one of the more powerful aristocratic families with a very rich family foundation. With the full support of the Du family, the success rate of the uprising will be greatly increased.

If the Jingzhao Wei family, Boling Cui family and other families also support him with all their strength, his chances of winning will be even greater.

"Okay!" Du Chuke nodded, and then he whispered, "Your Highness, there is another piece of news about Fang Yiai. In my opinion, it is bad news for Fang Yiai, but it is great news for us."

Forehead...

Li Tai raised his eyebrows and said, "Du Chuke, why don't you just speak frankly?"

It was both bad news and good news, and he was almost dizzy.

Besides, Fang Yiai is a guy who is more likely to cause trouble than to do good things. What good can he do?

Especially in the past half month, Fang Yiai has not been very angry. He doesn't know what Fang Yiai and Chai Lingwu, two useless people, are doing, or whether they are doing their job well.

Du Chuke smiled and said, "Your Highness, Fang Yiai slandered Princess Gaoyang and Du He for having an affair, so he was demoted by His Majesty to the position of Weiwei Temple Secretary."

Although Fang Yiai is a stupid guy, he made a good move by accident this time.

"Humph!" Li Tai snorted heavily, and then said angrily: "Fang Yiai, that rubbish, was demoted. How can this be considered good news?"

"I was wondering why Fang Yiai hadn't made any moves during this period of time. It turns out that he had caused a big mess!"

Now all his staff members are busy preparing for big events, except Fang Yiai and Chai Lingwu, who have not made any moves, which makes Li Tai very annoyed.

Now, not only have they failed to do anything useful, Fang Yiai also lost his third-rank position as Taifu Qing and was demoted to the sixth-rank position of Weiwei Si Cheng.

wrong!

Li Tai's expression suddenly froze, and he suddenly spoke loudly in surprise.

"Wei Wei Si Cheng!"

This is a core position in charge of the Tang Dynasty’s arsenal!

Thinking of this, Li Tai's originally angry face once again showed an ecstatic smile.

"Great things can be accomplished, great things can be accomplished!"

Li Tai rubbed his hands excitedly and paced back and forth in the hall excitedly.

In just half a quarter of an hour, his mood experienced two ups and downs, but fortunately, the final results were both in his favor.

Du Chuke nodded with a smile on his face, then spoke with a sinister expression.

"Your Highness, the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Revenue will soon store all the weapons and armor seized from Goguryeo, Silla, and Baekje in the armories of the two capitals!"

"As the Minister of the Imperial Guards, Fang Yiai is the person in charge of receiving the weapons and equipment into the warehouse!"

"Our chance has come!"
