Traveling through Du He, Li Chengqian's rebellion begins

Those who are escorted by so many guards are basically important officials in the court.

The carriage was so simple, which showed that the visitor must be quite old and a man of high moral character.

In the lobby.

When Du He saw that the person coming was Duke of Liang Fang Xuanling, his face was immediately filled with astonishment.

"Why is Fang Xuanling here?"

He and Fang Xuanling had no communication on a regular basis, and since his father Du Ruhui passed away, their Du family and Fang family had completely cut off contact.

To be more precise, the Fang family has completely looked down upon the Duke of Lai's Mansion.

Just as Du He was briefly stunned, Li Yi, who was hosting Fang Xuanling, saw Du He coming back, so she stood up and said with a smile.

"My husband, Duke Liang came to visit today and said he had something important to ask of you."

"You guys chat for a while, I'll go back to the backyard to rest."

As he spoke, Li Yi took Linglong and a group of maids and slowly left the hall.

She saw the solemn expression on Duke Liang's face and knew that he must have something important to discuss with her husband. She and the maidservant here would affect their conversation.

In addition, Li Yi was not very interested in the affairs of the court, so she felt more comfortable going back to the backyard to read a book.

After Li Yi and the others left the Tang Dynasty, Fang Xuanling immediately stood up and saluted Du He with his fists clasped.

"Nephew Du, I am sorry for disturbing you by coming to visit you today. Please forgive me for that."

Originally, he was going to take his wife and children back to his hometown to visit his relatives today, but he always felt uneasy because he didn't arrange things in advance.

After all, Fang Yiai, that rebellious son, is not reliable at all and might cause big problems.

Du He first glanced at the large box at Fang Xuanling's feet, and immediately guessed that Fang Xuanling had something to ask for, so he smiled and waved his hand and said.

"It is my honor to have Uncle Fang visit the princess's residence."

"Uncle Fang, please sit for a while. I'll have someone bring over some jars of good wine."

The box must be filled with gold, silver and other items, so it is not difficult to guess the purpose of Fang Xuanling's visit this time. He must have something important to ask me to do.

Fang Xuanling was in a high position and had great power, so he certainly did not ask him for help in getting his sons promoted. After all, he was fully capable of getting important official positions for his descendants.

The only explanation is that it is related to Fang Yiai.

Either he wanted to reconcile himself and Fang Yiai, or Fang Yiai was in trouble and needed his help.

Just as Du He was about to walk out of the lobby to ask someone to get some wine, Fang Xuanling quickly spoke up to stop him.

"Nephew Du, don't bother."

"I came here today to ask for a favor. I will leave after I finish telling you!"

After hearing what Fang Xuanling said, Du He paused slightly.

He did not ask anyone to serve wine, but turned around, walked to the main seat and sat down, and asked Fang Xuanling in a low voice.

"Uncle Fang, if you have anything to say, just tell me."

"If I can help, I will do it without hesitation. If I am not capable enough, please don't mind, Uncle Fang."

Fang Xuanling clasped his hands together and looked thoughtful on his serious face.

A few breaths of silence.

Fang Xuanling whispered, "Nephew Du, my rebellious son has been following the King of Wei and doing evil things. I am afraid that he will implicate the Fang family, so I plan to cut off his contact with the King of Wei."

"I came here this time to borrow your hand to help my rebellious son escape."

Then Fang Xuanling told Du He about his plan in detail.

When Du He heard Fang Xuanling's overall plan, he immediately understood that Fang Xuanling had already guessed that Li Tai was going to rebel.

Fang Yiai has already been involved, and it is impossible for him to get out normally. The only way is to commit a serious crime and be punished.

This is the only possibility. Fang Yiai does not have to break off relations with the King of Wei, and at the same time he cannot get involved in the rebellion.

I have to say that Fang Xuanling's move was very clever.

Ginger is still spicy!

Although Du He had already figured out the reason for the incident, he still asked with a confused smile.

"Uncle Fang, I have a question in my mind."

"The King of Wei and Brother Fang have been good friends since childhood. Why do you want Brother Fang to stay away from the King of Wei?"

"Besides, the King of Wei is in his fiefdom of Xiangzhou, and Brother Fang is serving in Chang'an. The two of them have basically lost contact. What would the King of Wei have to do to affect Brother Fang?"

Fang Xuanling saw that Du He looked like he had no idea what was going on, so he looked at him with confusion.

When he saw Du He's confused expression, Fang Xuanling's expression changed slightly.

He didn't know whether Du He really didn't know or was pretending not to know, but the fact that King Wei was planning a rebellion couldn't be told from his mouth, he thought for a moment and said.

"Nephew Du, are you really unable to hear the hidden meaning behind what Yuan Tiangang said in the Taiji Hall that day?"

"When the Emperor Star appears in Xiangzhou, how can there be no wind without waves?"

When Du He heard Fang Xuanling tell the story, he did not continue to play dumb but nodded slightly.

We are all smart people, there is no need to pretend not to understand.

When Fang Xuanling saw that Du He also knew about this, his expression relaxed and he sighed and said.

"Hey~"

"I am worried that the King of Wei is restless, and Fang Yiai's rebellious son is his good friend, so I am afraid he will be implicated."

"It is better to let him serve a sentence and suffer some pain than to have his head and body separated."

If things really came to that, it would not be a pity for Fang Yiai, the rebellious son, to die, but the Fang family would be implicated, which would be the most fatal blow.

Moreover, Fang Yiai's path is going further and further astray, so it would be good to let him suffer a little to temper his character.

Du He nodded, and did not say much on the sensitive topic of Li Tai. Instead, he talked about the conflict with Fang Yiai.

"Uncle Fang, you asked my nephew's guards to beat up Brother Fang. Don't you feel bad?"

According to Fang Xuanling's plan, when he had a conflict with Fang Yiai, he would pretend to be injured and beat Fang Yiai up.

At that time, he would take sick leave and stay at home to make a big deal out of the matter, and Fang Yiai would take all the blame.

Fang Xuanling shook his head and said, "Nephew Du, the rebellious son was injured mainly to show the Crown Prince and Princess Chengyang, otherwise His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Her Royal Highness the Princess will hate our Fang family because of this."

"Besides, my rebellious son has thick skin and tough flesh. As long as we don't hit him in a vital part of his body, nothing will happen."

Even though it's just a show, we have to act it out.

In fact, Fang Xuanling made such arrangements just to show it to the King of Wei and to avoid being discovered by the King of Wei's staff.

After all, Du He has more than a dozen guards under his command, and they are always bold and reckless. It is impossible for Fang Yiai, the rebellious son, to be safe and sound if he takes the initiative to cause trouble.

Du He smiled and said, "Okay, that's settled!"

"My late father and Uncle Fang were close friends. Now that Brother Fang is in trouble, I must help him."

Seeing that Du He agreed, Fang Xuanling stood up and clasped his fists and said.

"Thank you, Nephew Du."

"I owe you a favor!"
