Li Shimin did not notice the little actions of his two legitimate sons, and the eunuch who presided over the court meeting gave the order.

"My dear ministers, next we will perform the Seven Virtues Dance. Please listen carefully!"

When Du He heard that Li Shimin had arranged for people to play this dance music that was famous throughout the ages, he sat up straight.

"Seven Virtues Dance" is the final version of "Qin Wang Po Zhen Music". In addition to the performances of soldiers with weapons and horses, there are also beautiful women dancing with graceful movements.

Not long after, low drum sounds were heard around the hall, followed by the sounds of various musical instruments intertwined together.

A group of imperial guards holding weapons simulated an offensive and defensive formation in the hall, and the attacking side successfully broke through the formation.

Looking at the expression in front of him, Du He immediately lost interest.

Because the Tai Chi Hall was too small and there were not many places reserved for performances in the middle, the soldiers' performance was completely unable to bring out the grand momentum.

After the soldiers performed for a while, a large group of graceful dancers came up.

They danced gracefully and in unison to the majestic string music.

Looking at this group of beautiful dancers, Du He almost drooled.

He couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "The emperor's happiness is really unimaginable!"

At the same time, Li Chengqian was looking at the dancers with burning eyes, and another idea popped up in his mind.

"We must form the East Palace Diva as soon as possible!"

"Otherwise, reviewing memorials every day and assisting my father in handling state affairs would be too boring!"

"Seven Virtues Dance" was the last program of the banquet. After the performance, all the ministers looked as if they were still not satisfied.

Li Shimin gave a long speech to this group of civil and military officials, which lasted for nearly half an hour before he announced the end of the banquet.

Actually, after saying so much, it can be summarized in one sentence.

Officials who have done well this year should continue to maintain their performance next year, and officials who have done poorly this year should work harder next year.

After the banquet, Cheng Yaojin put his arm around Du He's shoulder with a smile on his face and said shamelessly.

"Du He, do you want to share half of my gold bar?"

"If I hadn't fought for you, you wouldn't have gotten even a penny?"

When Yuchi Gong, who was standing not far away, heard Cheng Yaojin's words, he pounced over like a hungry wolf and spoke carelessly.

"Du He, just now I also suggested to His Majesty to offer a prize."

"Shouldn't I get half of these gold bars?"

Good guy!

Du He was holding the gold bars and preparing to go home, but when he heard Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Gong, two tough guys, actually asked him for the gold bars, he was stunned for a moment.

He had always thought that Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Gong were thick-skinned, but now it seems that he had underestimated the limits of these two people.

Du He curled his lips and said, "Uncles, are you going to rob me?"

"I worked so hard to get this gold bar, and you guys are asking for half of it. Isn't this a waste of my brains?"

The officials around looked at the two ruffians with contempt, but they did not dare to say anything for fear of being targeted by them.

Cheng Yaojin is just arrogant and domineering, but he still retains some rationality.

But this old man Yuchi Gong is a lawless person. When he is not drunk, he dares to beat Li Daozon, a member of the royal family.

He drank a lot of wine today. If I make him angry, I might be beaten up by him, and then I would be very embarrassed.

The little commotion they made immediately attracted the attention of Li Shimin, Li Chengqian and others.

Li Shimin shouted, "What are you two doing surrounding Du He?"

Hearing Li Shimin's scolding from behind, Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Gong hurriedly let go of Du He's shoulders.

They turned around and explained with gritted teeth.

Yuchi Gong said, "Your Majesty, I just talked to Minister Du about the past, but I didn't do anything."

Cheng Yaojin said with a wicked smile: "Your Majesty, the gold bars in Du He's hand looked familiar to me. I thought they were the gold bars in my house."

Seeing these two trusted generals embarrassing themselves here, Li Shimin waved his hand in annoyance.

"Go home quickly and don't think about the gold bars in Du He's hand."

"If I knew that you cheated Du He of the gold bars, I would punish you severely."

As he spoke, Li Shimin, along with a group of princes, left the Taiji Hall accompanied by his attendants.

Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Gong smacked their lips, looked at the gold bars in Du He's hand reluctantly, and then swaggered out of the Taiji Hall.

Just as Du He was about to leave, Yin Yuhe came over from behind and said.

"On behalf of Weizhou Governor Yin Yuhe, I pay my respects to Minister Du."

Hearing the voice behind him, Du He paused slightly, then turned around and looked at the mysterious staff member under Li Tai.

Although he didn't know what Yin Yuhe wanted him to do, Du He still praised him with a smile.

"Ci Shi Yin, he is really a handsome man."

Yin Yuhe looks somewhat similar to his aunt Yin Fei, with phoenix eyes, a high nose bridge, and very fair skin.

I don’t know how beautiful Yin Hongzhi’s wife was to give birth to such good-looking children like Yin Yuhe and Yin Yushan.

"Thank you, Minister Du, for your compliment." Yin Yuhe clasped his fists politely, then looked around and said, "Minister Du, can we move over and chat for a few minutes?"

Du He nodded slightly, put the gold bar behind his wide sleeves, and then walked out of the Tai Chi Hall with him.

In a place where there were no other passers-by, Yin Yuhe took out a sealed letter from his wide sleeves, handed it to Du He and said.

"Du Du Ma, this is a letter my sister asked me to give you."

"She originally wanted to meet you in the next few days, but she guessed that you would be busy these days, and we will go back with the King of Wei in two days."

"So my sister wrote a letter and asked me to pass it to you."

Du He took the letter and put it into his sleeve very naturally.

He didn't expect that Yin Yushan would ask his elder brother to pass on this secret letter, and he didn't know what she would say.

If it was just a simple teasing, Du He felt it would be better to meet him in person.

Du He could never forget Yin Yushan, that icy beauty with her otherworldly fairy-like temperament.

Du He raised his eyebrows and asked, "Governor Yin, does Miss Yin have anything to say?"

Yin Yuhe clasped his fists and said, "Minister Du, everything my sister wants to say is written in the letter. You will know it at a glance."

Then he looked around and whispered with a serious expression.

"Minister Du, my sister has never harmed anyone. Everything she did before was done by me."

"If her appearance can catch Du Shangshu's eye, please don't despise her."

"I'm sure you, Mr. Du, know exactly what I'm doing now, so I won't play tricks in front of you."

"If my brother and I are in trouble in the future, please give me a place to shelter. I will give you a generous gift as a token of my gratitude."

When Du He heard Yin Yuhe's words that sounded like he was entrusting his son to someone else, his expression did not change at all.

There was silence for a long time.

Du He then asked in confusion: "Why do you do this?"
