Du He saw that Yin Yuhe fell into silence and did not answer his question, so he spoke to him on his own.

"His Majesty treated your Yin family well, and your father followed the King of Qi in the rebellion. His Majesty not only spared your life, but also continued to entrust you with important tasks."

"You should follow this magnanimous emperor with all your heart!"

Looking at the entire Tang Dynasty officialdom, except for him who was promoted to the position of Minister of Works because of his great contributions, the other young generations were still only middle-level officials.

When Yin Yuhe had made some small contributions, Li Shimin appointed this young man as the acting governor of Weizhou. What a favor it was!

You should know that Weizhou is a superior state, and the governor of Weizhou is a powerful official position below the third rank.

As long as the two brothers and sisters behave themselves and have children, they will surely be able to restore the glory of their ancestors in the future.

As for instigating Li Tai to rebel, it would only lead to death.

There was silence for a moment.

Yin Yuhe shook his head and said, "How dare I forget our ancestors' teachings!"

Then he forced a smile on his face and continued talking about his sister.

"Mr. Du, my sister truly admires you. If she could become your concubine, it would be a good match for her!"

"The King of Wei is keeping a close eye on her now. I have no way of sending her out. I can only find another excuse later."

"But please rest assured that my sister will definitely remain innocent."

After saying this, Yin Yuhe bowed deeply towards Du He and then strode out towards the palace gate.

Du He squinted his eyes and watched Yin Yuhe's figure disappear at the end of the road. Although he had a thousand words to say in his heart, he finally shook his head and sighed.

"madness."

Other ministers supported the prince's ascension to the throne in order to protect their own and their families' interests and to ensure that the next generation would continue to maintain prosperity and strength.

Yin Yuhe supported Li Tai's rebellion simply for the so-called ancestral teachings.

The only people in their family who were killed were Concubine Yin and their brothers and sisters. If they continued to follow this ancestral precept, they would probably be completely extinct.

Regarding the Yin family's so-called ancestral precepts, Du He guessed that it should be to overthrow the Li Dynasty.

But things are different now. In front of the Li royal family, their Yin family can only be regarded as a small ant.

"The worm shakes the tree!"

Du He sighed and then walked towards where his servants were waiting.

In Du He's opinion, Yin Yuhe is an extremely smart person, but such a smart person is doing stupid things.

Judging from the current situation in the Tang Dynasty, the interests of most of the aristocratic families are already tied to the Li royal family. How could they dig their own graves?

However, some aristocratic families who were not content with the status quo, such as the Jingzhao Wei family, the Du family, and the Boling Cui family, could not cause much trouble.

Therefore, the greatest thing Yin Yuhe could do was to make Li Tai and Li Shimin, father and son, kill each other.

If you do something knowing it is impossible, if you succeed it is called bravery, but if you fail it is extremely stupid!

Du He and Li Chengqian knew that Li Tai was planning a rebellion, but Du He and Li Chengqian would not report the matter to Li Shimin. Instead, they forced Li Tai to rebel as soon as possible.

Without the interference of Li Tai's powerful force, Li Chengqian's ascension to the throne would be much less hindered by half.

As long as Li Chengqian does not act recklessly during these crucial four years and does not make Li Shimin feel that his position is threatened, his ascension to the throne will be a natural outcome.

As for what Jin Wang Li Zhi, Zhangsun Wuji and others hiding in the dark would do, Du He had no idea.

The only option is to let the spies from the Eastern Palace infiltrate into the camp of Prince Jin to gather information.

On the way back to Princess Chengyang's Mansion, Du He also lay in the carriage and opened the letter written by Yin Yushan.

"Du Lang, I haven't seen you for more than a month and you've taken a concubine again. Is your harem too small to accommodate a young lady?"

"I came to Chang'an with my elder brother this time. I wanted to meet you secretly, but the King of Wei and my elder brother had to return to their fiefdoms on the third day of the first lunar month. We can only meet next time."

"I am writing to you this time to tell you an important piece of news, so that my ideal husband will not fall into trouble."

"The King of Han has entered the Palace of the King of Wei, and the secrets of the Eastern Palace have been revealed."

"Thinking of you, Yushan!"

After reading this letter, which was neither too long nor too short, Du He just frowned slightly, without being too worried.

Li Yuanchang had no evidence of their rebellion, so he was not afraid no matter how they filed a complaint.

Although they were not afraid of being falsely accused of treason, Li Yuanchang's disclosure of such secrets would still cause them some trouble.

"Li Yuanchang has no brains at all."

Good advice cannot persuade a damned person, and mercy cannot save a person who has killed himself. This saying is really true.

Li Yuanchang had originally been planning a rebellion with the Eastern Palace, but he escaped because of his appearance.

Unexpectedly, just one year later, he boarded Li Tai's pirate ship again and told everything, completely blocking his retreat.

Now that Li Tai has caught the evidence, Li Yuanchang, a man with no brains but only courage, has no choice but to rebel.

Du He frowned and thought for a moment. When they were about to reach the princess's mansion, he put the letter in his hand into the hand warmer in the carriage and burned it to ashes.

Not leaving any evidence is one of the rules for saving your life.

No matter whether it was letters about conspiracy or correspondence with other women, for the sake of family harmony, Du He would not keep them.

In the lobby of the princess's mansion.

Li Yi, who was originally weaving clothes, stopped what she was doing and asked curiously when she saw Du He coming in with a handful of gold bars in her hands.

"Husband, where did you get so many gold bars?"

"Could it be that an official bribed you?"

Now that her husband has become capable, many officials who want to get promoted will try every means to establish connections with him.

Even some of her royal sisters would find various excuses to come to the princess's mansion and hint in various ways that they wanted their husbands to help their princes-in-law.

Li Yi was also very smart. He always pretended not to understand and then found other topics to cover it up.

Du He put the gold bars on the table, and then told the story of how he won the gold bars by writing poems in the Taiji Hall.

"You will be at the top of the mountain, and you will be able to see all the mountains and small mountains at a glance!"

After Li Yi recited these two lines of poetry softly, she looked at her husband with admiration on her face and said.

"Husband, you are so amazing!"

"Father will go to Mount Tai to offer sacrifices to the gods next year. Your poem 'Viewing the Mountain' has touched his heart completely!"

In her opinion, although this poem is not as stunning as the previous one, "Spring River Moon Night", it is the most appropriate.

Du He smiled and nodded.

The poem he wrote was actually just thinking about Li Shimin's upcoming Fengshan ceremony and trying to please him.

...

After noon.

Du He and Li Yi took Du Ping'an and rushed to the Linde Hall in the Daming Palace under the escort of a group of guards.

Because all the royal relatives will come to today's royal banquet, only the spacious Linde Hall can accommodate hundreds of people.

When they arrived at the Linde Hall, they found it was already crowded with a large group of people.

Du He had been a royal consort for several years, but this was the first time he attended a banquet of this level. He whispered in astonishment.

"so many people?"
