Traveling through Du He, Li Chengqian's rebellion begins

Minister of Revenue Tang Jian, Minister of the Imperial Household Xiao Rui, Minister of Agriculture Liu Renjing and Minister of the Imperial Guard Xue Huaiyu stood up together and bowed to Li Shimin in response.

"Sir, obey the order!"

After a while, none of the civil and military officials in the Taiji Hall continued to speak.

So Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "Let's end the court meeting here today."

"Prince, follow me to Ganlu Palace."

After Li Shimin finished speaking, he walked down the imperial platform with square steps.

All the civil and military officials stood up together, holding up their tablets and saluted Li Shimin.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty!"

"Congratulations to Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

After Li Shimin walked out of the Taiji Hall, Li Chengqian also walked out of the hall slowly, leaning on the crutches given by Du He, in the surprised eyes of all the ministers.

After several months of recovery, although he has not fully recovered, he can already use some strength in this leg.

Therefore, he deliberately did not take the sedan chair today, but walked out of the Taiji Hall by himself.

When the civil and military officials saw that Li Chengqian's walking posture was better than before, they began to discuss the matter in low voices.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince doesn't even limp when he walks now!"

"Is it possible that His Royal Highness's legs can really return to normal?"

"If the benevolent and virtuous prince can regain his normal way of walking, then it will be a blessing from heaven!"

Hearing the noisy discussions of the court officials, Li Chengqian, Du He, Hou Junji and others all showed a faint smile on their faces.

Chai Lingwu, the Junior Minister of the Imperial Household, who was standing in the middle, became extremely solemn when he saw that Li Chengqian's injured leg had recovered so quickly.

He frowned and screamed silently in his heart.

"The prince's lame leg must not be healed!"

During this period, ministers in the court often discussed Li Chengqian's lame leg in private, and many people believed that the prince's leg could not be fully recovered.

And even if they recover well, they still cannot walk normally like normal people.

In the minds of these ministers, how could a person who had broken his legs twice in a row recover as before?

Even if Sun Simiao is a god, he doesn't have such great ability!

...

Ministry of Industry.

When Du He was carefully reviewing government affairs, someone suddenly knocked on the door of the room, and soon after, Xiao Kai's improper voice was heard.

"Du Shangshu, is it convenient for me to come in?"

Forehead...

When Du He heard Xiao Kai's voice, his expression was slightly stunned.

He then shook his head and shouted, "Come in."

Seeing Xiao Kai pushing open the door and walking in with a happy look on his face, Du He curled his lips and said.

"Brother Xiao, didn't you go with the master architect Qiu Xingyan to study the smoke exhaust pipes of the kang?"

"Are you being lazy and leaving all the work to Master Qiu?"

Although Xiao Kai's brain wasn't very good, he had a wide network of contacts. Chief Architect Qiu Xingyan and Junior Supervisor Li Daoyou both helped him a lot.

When Xiao Kai heard that Du He misunderstood him, he quickly waved his hands and said.

"Brother Du, Master Qiu and Junior Supervisor Li are both busy right now, so they may take a while to come over."

"I have good news to tell you, and it's a big joke about the Jingzhao Du family. Do you want to listen to it?"

Thinking of the news he had heard, Xiao Kai couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.

Such a large and powerful family, in order to compete with Brother Du and his friends, deliberately arranged for a young man of the family to get married on the same day as Du Aitong, which ended up causing a big joke.

It really proves the old saying that when a person is unlucky, even drinking cold water will get stuck in his teeth.

When Du He heard the news about the Du family, his curiosity was also aroused.

He asked curiously: "Brother Xiao, if you have any good news, please tell me quickly."

"Hehe." Xiao Kai laughed evilly twice, then winked and said, "Yesterday, Jingzhao Du's wedding was held, but the people stopped her and asked for money, so she missed the auspicious time."

"In addition, the common people went to the Du family's mansion to ask for wedding money but failed, and ended up quarreling with the Du family's people."

"More than half of the guests who attended the banquet left early."

At the end, Xiao Kai couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Yesterday, many people gathered at the Duke of Lai's mansion, and Brother Du sent people to distribute a lot of wedding money. The people who received the wedding money shouted for a long time.

If it were any other time, Brother Du would definitely be regarded as a sucker if he ordered the distribution of wedding money.

But compared with the Jingzhao Du family, this money is well worth it.

I believe that for a long time to come, the common people and people from other aristocratic families will privately laugh at the Du family for being stingy.

When a member of a big family is laughed at by the common people and other aristocratic families, it is a very shameful thing and it also seriously affects the reputation of the Du family.

Du He smiled and said, "Brother Xiao, this is good news."

People need face and trees need bark. People in this era attach great importance to face. The blood pressure of those elders of the Du family must be very high because of anger.

However, this will not weaken the power of the Du family. They still have to remove their clansmen who are serving in Chang'an one by one.

Du He then warned: "Brother Xiao, in addition to getting the kang out these days, you must also hurry up and find out the crimes of the Du family members."

"And you must go to Dr. Sun for treatment after you get off duty. This is a big deal, don't take it lightly."

These three musketeers are not young. People of the same age have several children, but these three are still childless.

Especially the Crown Prince Li Chengqian, although he is only 26 years old now, his eldest son Li Xiang is already 12 years old.

It is estimated that in a few years, Li Chengqian, who is in his early 30s, will become a grandfather.

Xiao Kai smiled and said, "Brother Du, don't worry. Brother Cui, Brother Wang and I will go to see Dr. Sun for treatment every day."

"Dr. Sun said that my treatment here is about right, and asked me to be more restrained in the future."

What?

Let Xiao Kai exercise restraint?

Du He glanced at him and said, "Brother Xiao, your eight concubines live in the backyard of your house. Are you sure you can control them?"

"Your father is still looking for a concubine for you. If you don't give birth to a child soon, I'm afraid your father won't stop!"

These past few days, Xiao Yu has been meeting with people from various small families, as if he would not stop until Xiao Kai gave birth to a child.

And looking at Xiao Yu's expression, he probably only suspected that there was something wrong with his daughter-in-law's stomach, but did not suspect that Xiao Kai was in poor health.

Xiao Kai smacked his lips and said, "Brother Du, my father is going to marry me a ninth concubine next month. Remember to come to my house for the wedding."

"If I continue to take in concubines like this, I will have to buy a bigger house, otherwise there will be no room for me to live in."

The new concubine he was about to take in was too thin, as thin as a bamboo pole, and he had no interest in her at all.

Moreover, the Xiao family has not yet split up, and it is a bit crowded for the whole family to live together.

Du He said with a twitching mouth: "Brother Xiao, you have a good father!"
