Traveling through Du He, Li Chengqian's rebellion begins

Hearing Du He's words, Fang Xuanling nodded solemnly.

Du He's words made it very clear that the matter could end here, but if Princess Gao Yang and Fang Yiai still had bad intentions, I'm afraid Du He would be ruthless next time.

After reviewing the whole incident, Fang Xuanling was very clear in his mind that the attack last night was a trap set by Du He.

Du He stood completely outside the chessboard, watching his stupid son and stupid daughter-in-law doing wrong things step by step.

This shows that Du He has a powerful group of spies, and Princess Gaoyang and the rebellious son have been under his surveillance.

If Fang Xuanling had not secretly sent people to monitor Princess Gaoyang and the rebellious son Fang Yiai, he would probably still be kept in the dark and eventually cause a disaster.

You have to know that all the criticisms now are directed at his stupid son who ordered his servants to attack the prince consort Du He, and there is solid evidence.

If Du He insists on making a big fuss, how can Your Majesty let him off easily?

Fang Xuanling said solemnly, "Please rest assured, Minister Du, I still have this ability."

"If the two of them still refuse to repent, I will be the first to kill my relatives for the sake of justice!"

What Gao Yang and Fang Yiai did during this period made Fang Xuanling, a capable minister, exhausted both physically and mentally.

Even though he was a talented strategist and a capable assistant to the king, he was extremely unsuccessful in educating his children.

Seeing that Fang Xuanling took the problem on himself, Du He did not continue to say nonsense, but said with a smile.

"Sikong Fang, now that the misunderstanding has been cleared up, why don't you sit down and have a cup of hot tea?"

Upon hearing Du He's invitation, Fang Xuanling, who had nothing to do these days, sat down immediately.

He also wanted to have a good talk with Du He now, and make good connections with Fang Yiai's stupid son in advance, so that he wouldn't have to see his son off in the future.

While drinking tea, the two chatted about farming and livestock raising.

When Fang Xuanling heard Du He talk about agriculture, sericulture and livestock breeding, his curiosity grew.

How could a dandy boy who never farmed or raised livestock, but just read "Qimin Yaoshu" and some other books on agronomy, achieve such level?

Fang Xuanling asked curiously, "Minister Du, your elder brother Du Zuocheng reported to the court the method of castrating domestic pigs. Was it your idea?"

He had worked with Du Gou for several months before and was familiar with Du Gou's character and talents.

Fang Xuanling thought that Du Gou was capable of handling government affairs, but it was somewhat difficult to ask him to make innovative things, especially since Du Gou lacked knowledge of livestock breeding.

Apart from being able to talk extensively about castration and breeding of domestic pigs, he knew nothing about other livestock.

Du He waved his hand and said, "Sir Fang, my elder brother served as the governor for several years, and the method of castrating and raising domestic pigs was also created by my elder brother out of concern for the people."

"I can't read a single word, and I've never touched a single finger. How can I have those skills?"

Seeing that Du He was unwilling to tell the truth, Fang Xuanling just smiled and nodded, and did not continue asking.

The two of them drank tea and chatted about this and that.

"Hey~"

Suddenly Fang Xuanling sighed softly, then spoke with his eyes full of memories.

"Minister Du, when Your Majesty first ascended the throne more than ten years ago, I often sat with Duke Lai to drink tea and discuss state affairs."

"My conversation with you today reminded me of my good friend who is capable of making decisions!"

"If he were to see how successful you are, he would surely smile in his grave."

It was precisely because the two of them had a very good personal relationship and cooperated well in the court that they gained the reputation of being good at making plans and being decisive.

In Fang Xuanling's mind, his good friend Du Ruhui is not only good at making decisions, but also good at strategy.

It was just that in order to highlight their respective abilities, the two of them tacitly formed a situation where he would be the mastermind and Du Ruhui would be the decision-maker.

Before Du He could speak, Fang Xuanling continued with a sigh.

"My friend's son is so successful now, but my useless son is still muddle-headed. I am so disappointed!"

"If that idiot Fang Yiai had half of your wisdom, I would wake up laughing in my dreams."

"It is said that if Fang Yiai can become your best friend, he will be able to live a smooth life even if he has a pig's brain."

After hearing Fang Xuanling's meaningful words, Du He also understood the goodwill he showed to him.

But he and Fang Yiai belonged to two opposing camps and were destined to never be able to play together.

Even if Fang Xuanling forced Fang Yiai to give up following Li Tai and join the Eastern Palace, it would probably be of no avail.

Because it's too late!

Fang Yiai's character has already been formed, and he knows too many secrets about Li Tai. How could he possibly have a chance to change his allegiance?

Du He smiled and said, "Sir Fang, you think too highly of me!"

"I don't have Brother Fang's ability, nor do I have Brother Fang's courage. I should learn from Brother Fang."

Fang Xuanling also knew that Du He and Fang Yiai could never be together, and a helpless bitter smile suddenly appeared on his face.

Power is truly a killing knife. He and Du Ruhui were close friends, but their descendants became enemies.

Fang Xuanling had no intention of staying here at the moment. After drinking the tea in the cup, he stood up and said.

"Minister Du, I have to go back and take care of some important matters first, so I won't bother you any more."

Du He stood up and said, "I'll see you off."

As the two men walked out of the Ministry of Works one after the other, all the officials sitting in the lobby looked at Du He and Fang Xuanling curiously.

After watching Fang Xuanling leave, Du He returned to his office with a calm expression, and then picked up the volume of "Qimin Yaoshu" to read.

...

Liang Guogong Mansion.

In the lobby.

Fang Xuanling, who had left his shift half an hour early, said to his butler Fang Zhong with a gloomy face.

"Fang Zhong, where is that rebellious son now?"

He went to the Weiwei Temple to look for Fang Yiai today, but he couldn't find him. The Weiwei Temple Minister Xue Huaiyu told him that Fang Yiai's rebellious son had taken leave today due to illness.

Fang Xuanling knew clearly that his rebellious son knew that the matter had become serious and was probably trying to find a solution right now.

But with Fang Yiai's stupid brain, what good solution could he come up with?

Kill the guard Fang Wu? And then put all the blame on him?

He was too naive!

The old housekeeper Fang Zhong quickly replied, "At noon, the spies came back to report that the second young master's bodyguard Fang Wu had been hiding in the newly purchased private residence in Jiaohuafang since he was captured by the county soldiers of Wannian County."

"The spies haven't come back to report yet, maybe the second young master is still there."

Fang Yiai purchased a new house in Jiaohuafang in Wannian County. This was not only known to the spies from the Eastern Palace, but was also discovered by the spies from the Liangguo Mansion.

Hearing that Fang Yiai still wanted to stay with the Western Regions witch at this time, he was so angry that his face turned red.

Fang Xuanling said in a deep voice: "Fang Zhong, send someone to the Jiaohuafang immediately to tie up that rebellious son!"
