Traveling through Du He, Li Chengqian's rebellion begins

After hearing Hou Junji's words, Du He's expression paused slightly, and then he asked with confusion.

"Uncle Hou, what do you mean by this?"

"I am just a small minister of industry. How can I influence the position of the minister of punishment who is above me?"

"If they want to find someone, they can only find you, the Right Sergeant."

If you want to get promoted, you can only look for the heads of the three provinces and six ministries. If you want to make a wish, you have to go to the temple. What use will it be to look for him?

Hou Junji turned his head and glanced at the Taiji Hall, and found that except for a few officials from the Ministry of Works who were waiting for Du He, the rest of the officials had already left.

So he said with a smile: "Nephew Du, your relatives and friends have all been promoted to high positions under your operation. How can they not ask you for help?"

"Of course, this group of people will definitely come to me."

The appointment of the Minister of Justice is decided directly by His Majesty, and these people have no influence on His Majesty's thinking at all.

However, if His Majesty asks for their opinions, they can take the opportunity to recommend suitable personnel.

Du He shook his head slightly and didn't take it to heart.

...

In the afternoon, Hou Junji's words came true.

Originally, Du He was sitting comfortably in his office drinking tea and reading, but several officials, with whom he had a good relationship, came to the Ministry of Works to visit him.

Moreover, they all have the same goal, which is to ask Du He to help them smooth out the relationship with the heads of the three provinces.

After all, except for his average relationship with Changsun Wuji, Du He has a good relationship with the other three.

Just as Du He sent the Minister of Revenue Lu Chengqing away from the Ministry of Works and was about to turn around and walk back to his office, Cui Shenji's voice came from behind him.

"Meetings, Mr. Du."

Du He's steps paused slightly, and finally a helpless expression appeared on his face.

"Again..."

When Cui Shenji came closer, Du He waved at him before Cui Shenji could say anything.

"Minister Cui, please come and sit in my office."

Du He knew in his heart the purpose of Cui Shenji's visit without having to guess. He was definitely here to speak on behalf of his ambitious father.

Moreover, he has already sent away more than ten groups of people who share the same ideas as his father.

Just as Cui Shenji followed Du He into the Ministry of Works, the officials standing outside the lobby suddenly gathered together and started whispering.

"Why are there so many people coming to see Du Shangshu today?"

"And the people who came are all the adjutants of the six ministries, the nine temples and the five prisons. Even the assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue has come!"

"Could something big happen?"

"Who among you has the latest news? Go out and find out!"

Many officials who had no urgent work on hand slipped out of the Ministry of Works and prepared to find a group of friends to inquire about the news.

Just as the officials of the Ministry of Industry were whispering outside the lobby, Du He also started talking with Cui Shenji in the office.

Du He said softly, "Brother Cui, did your father ask you to come over?"

“Hehe.” Cui Shenji laughed awkwardly, “My parents gave me life, but Brother Du knows me best!”

"My father said that Zhang Liang was dismissed by His Majesty, and the Minister of Justice Zhang Xingcheng might be promoted. He wants to fight for the vacant position of Minister of Justice."

"Brother Du, do you think my father has a chance to be promoted?"

"My father said that if he could be promoted to one of the six ministers, he would give him 3000 strings of cash as a thank you gift!"

When his father went to see him in the morning, he nagged him for half a quarter of an hour, asking him to ask his good friend Du He to help him with this important task.

Cui Shenji thought his father was a little anxious. After all, the current situation was still unknown. Maybe His Majesty would appoint other governors as Minister of Justice.

But his father felt that he was not serious enough and insisted that he go and say hello to Du He immediately so that they could make some preparations in advance.

His father also planned to give out 3000 strings of cash as a thank you gift to those who had helped him.

Seeing that his father was almost crazy, Cui Shenji had no choice but to agree.

After all, the importance of the six ministers to the family far exceeds the value of these mere 3000 strings of cash.

Du He shook his head and said, "Brother Cui, go back and tell your father that if there is a vacant position of assistant minister, I will tell Hou You Pushe and Liu Shizhong."

"If the two of them don't have any officials to recommend, they can ask them to recommend your father."

No one knows what Li Shimin is thinking now, so there is no point in being anxious.

In addition, none of the current officials in the court has made outstanding achievements, and the competition is more intense than ever before.

If Vice Minister of Justice Zhang Xingcheng is promoted to Minister of Justice, and Hou Junji and Liu Li have no one to recommend, then Cui Yixuan will still have a great chance.

After all, apart from his lack of achievements, his current official qualifications are higher than others.

Cui Shenji whispered, "Brother Du, I'll leave this matter to you!"

"If my father can get what he wants, our Cui family will owe you a big favor!"

Although the Qinghe Cui family was a prominent and powerful family, their family's say in front of the heads of the three provinces was far inferior to that of Du He, the Minister of Works.

Du He patted Cui Shenji on the shoulder and said, "Brother Cui, don't worry, I will definitely do my best."

"Thank you, Brother Du."

Cui Shenji expressed his gratitude with a fist bump with excitement on his face.

...

Chang'an County, Yankangfang.

In the lobby of Prince Wei's Palace.

"Hahaha!"

"I didn't expect that the Yin Shishi's plan would succeed. Zhang Liang was demoted to the governor of Luozhou by my father so quickly!"

"And he is also the envoy in charge of Luozhou's military affairs!"

"God is really helping me!"

The chubby Li Tai waved his fist excitedly.

He received a summons from his father and just rushed back to Chang'an from Xiangzhou today. He didn't expect to receive such great news.

On both sides of the lobby, Du Chuke, Wei Ting, Yin Yuhe, Yin Yushan and others also had smiles on their faces.

Except Yin Yushan, who did not hold an official position and just followed Li Tai and others, the other three governors were summoned back to Chang'an by Li Shimin to report on their work.

Wei Ting looked at Yin Yuhe with surprise, then praised him with a strange expression.

"I didn't expect that the Yin Shishi's strategy was so brilliant that even a figure like Zhang Liang, the Duke of Yun, fell into your calculations. You are indeed a genius among men!"

"With a wise counselor like you who can turn the tide, His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei will be able to achieve success in no time!"

Wei Ting served as the governor of Yunzhou, which was thousands of miles away from Xiangzhou, so he did not know about this major plan until he returned to Chang'an.

He didn't expect that Yin Yuhe, at such a young age, had such ability, and his respect for him increased even more.

Yin Yuhe waved his hand and said, "Wei Governor, this was all done with the power of the King of Wei, how dare I take credit for it?"

"Besides, Governor Du is in charge of this matter. He is the one who has made great contributions and worked hard."

Du Chuke, who had been fighting for a while, was surprised when he heard that Yin Yuhe had actually put the credit on him.

Du Chuke said quickly: "This was the plan of the Yin governor. I only contributed a little to it. How can I claim credit for my hard work?"

When Li Tai saw that his three core aides were in harmony with each other, a smile immediately appeared on his chubby face.

To accomplish something great, people inside must be united.

Thinking of this, he looked at the two vacant seats on one side, then asked with a somewhat unhappy expression.

"Haven't Fang Yiai and Chai Lingwu come yet?"
