Traveling through Du He, Li Chengqian's rebellion begins

The governor of Luozhou, Jia Dunyi, submitted a memorial to impeach Zhang Liang's adopted son for rebellion. This was not a big deal, and according to Cui Shenji's character, he would not come over to say it.

Cui Shenji laughed awkwardly and said, "Brother Du, I really can't hide anything from you!"

After he finished the tea in the cup, a conflicted look appeared on his face. After a while, he slowly walked to Du He's side, squatted down and whispered.

"Brother Du, my father asked me to come and ask you if he has a chance to be promoted in the near future?"

puff~

Du He couldn't help but spit out all the tea he had just drunk.

Good guy!

Cui Yixuan is a really capable guy. He actually asked Cui Shenji to ask him about his future. Does he really think of himself as the God of Wealth who makes wishes?

Moreover, Cui Yixuan is currently serving as the Langzhong of the Left Secretariat, the head of all Langzhongs. If he is promoted further, he will become the Vice Minister of all departments.

Now that the candidates for the vice ministers of the three provinces and six ministries have been chosen, how could there be any vacant positions for him to fill?

Choi Sun-ki saw how much Du-ha reacted and he rubbed his nose bashfully.

Cui Shenji felt a little embarrassed to speak up for his father's request, but he couldn't stand his father's constant nagging, so he had to bite the bullet and come over to ask.

Du He asked curiously, "Brother Cui, why would your father come up with this idea for no reason?"

"Oh!" Cui Shenji sighed.

He held his forehead helplessly and said, "My father has been the Minister of the Left for nearly six years, but he has not made any outstanding achievements and there is no chance of promotion at all."

"Now that he sees us younger generations being promoted one after another and about to surpass him in rank, he is getting anxious!"

There was a pause.

Cui Shenji continued, "When Yan Liben, the right secretary of the Shangshu Department, was promoted to the Minister of Rites, my father was extremely jealous and was sulking for several days."

"My father privately consulted with my cousin Cui Xu, but since it involves promotions to positions above the fifth rank, my cousin, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Personnel, can't do anything about it."

"My father was really frustrated, so he asked me to come and ask you."

In the Tang Dynasty, the left was respected. Although Cui Yixuan and Yan Liben were both doctors in the Secretariat, Cui Yixuan had a higher status.

However, Li Shimin promoted Yan Liben to be the Minister of Rites instead of Cui Yixuan, which must have made Cui Yixuan have some thoughts.

In addition, promotion to an official position of the fifth rank and above requires recommendation from four prime ministers, which is beyond the power of Cui Xu, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Personnel.

Besides, no one knows the father better than his son. Cui Shenji knows very well what his father is capable of.

His father's position as Shangshu Zuosi Langzhong was already somewhat stressful, and he had no outstanding achievements, so how could he have the chance to be promoted further?

But it is different for Yan Liben, the Shangshu Yousi Langzhong. In recent months, he has resettled tens of thousands of Baekje children, which is a real achievement.

In addition, Yan Liben's paintings are superb, and Your Majesty likes him very much.

Du He frowned and asked, "Brother Cui, what position is your father eyeing?"

Cui Shenji shook his head and replied: "No."

what?

You don't even have a goal, but you come to ask him to do something?

No wonder Cui Yixuan is still the Shangshu Zuosi Langzhong after so many years. From this action, we can see that it was luck that enabled him to be promoted to his current position.

Du He said unhappily, "Brother Cui, go back and ask your father to think it over carefully."

"If your father wants to be a provincial governor, it's not a big problem. But if he wants to be promoted to the position of vice minister of the three provinces and six ministries, it's probably impossible."

I thought Choi Sun-ki was a nobody, and it turns out his father isn't very reliable either.

Only the Qinghe Cui family has more side branches, and each branch has someone who can take responsibility.

Otherwise, if Choi Eui-hyun and Choi Shen-ki, father and son, continue to behave like this, their family will probably fall into poverty within a few generations.

Cui Shenji said with a bitter face: "Brother Du, why don't you give me an excuse, otherwise I won't be able to report to my father when I go back."

When Du He heard Cui Shenji's request, a row of black lines appeared on his forehead.

Du He said unhappily, "Brother Cui, tell your father to wait for the right time."

Cui Shenji said with a smile: "Brother Du, I feel relieved with your words."

The two chatted for a few more words, and when Choi Shenji saw that it was almost time to get off duty, he said hello and left happily.

"This is a strange father and son."

Du He muttered something, then left the Ministry of Works wearing a snow-white fox fur coat.

...

Princess Chengyang's Mansion.

When Du He returned to the lobby, Linglong, who had been teasing Du Ping'an, quickly stood up, bowed slightly to Du He, and shouted.

"Master, you are back."

Du He smiled and nodded at her, then picked up Du Ping'an who was crawling on the carpet, and then walked over to sit next to Li Yi.

Looking at Li Yi who was knitting a sweater skillfully, Du He said with a smile.

"Yier is really skillful, this coat is so beautiful!"

Li Yi pouted and said, "Husband, I'm knitting a robe!"

Forehead...

Du He's expression paused slightly.

This robe looks the same as a jacket, no wonder he made a mistake.

Du He said with a smile: "Yier, when the weather gets a little warmer, I will teach you to knit a new style of clothing."

Nowadays, they wear robes regardless of winter or summer. It is okay in spring, summer and autumn, but wearing robes in the hot summer is really unbearable.

Although the robe looks good, it is very cumbersome to wear.

If you make cropped trousers and round-neck short-sleeved shirts, it will be more comfortable in the summer.

Li Yi responded casually: "Okay."

How could her husband, who couldn't even tell the styles of clothes apart, or even know where to thread a needle, teach her how to make new clothes?

After Du He and Li Yi chatted for a while and gradually calmed down, Linglong slowly walked up to Du He and said.

"Master, I have two sisters who want to marry your guards. How can you arrange this?"

Du He raised his eyebrows and asked curiously, "Who are those two people?"

Linglong invited a total of five sisters to the banquet that day. Except for Princess Gaoyang's personal maid Taozi, she unexpectedly found that only two of them were interested in marrying his guard.

Linglong quickly replied: "One is Xia He, the personal maid of Shouchun County Lord, and the other is Wang Xiaohua, the maid of Princess Changle's mansion."

Du He nodded and said, "I will tell Zhang Shizheng and Feng Shijin tomorrow, and then find a time for them to meet."

Among the guards under Du He, the most capable ones are Zhang Shizheng and Feng Shijin. Even Du Wu, the guard who has followed him for many years, is somewhat inferior to them.

After all, Zhang Shizheng and Feng Shijin were assassins recruited by Li Chengqian. Before Xi Junmai was discovered, their martial arts skills were second only to Hegan Chengji in the Eastern Palace.

Linglong quickly bowed and said, "I am here on behalf of my two sisters to thank you, Master, for finding good families for them."

Hearing Linglong still calling her a slave, Li Yi, who was knitting clothes, raised her head and said with a smile.

"Linglong, from now on you have to call yourself a concubine, and you can't always call yourself a slave."
