Traveling through Du He, Li Chengqian's rebellion begins

Fang Yiai discovered that ever since he invited Yang Yuzhi to listen to music at Baihua Tower, that lazy guy had ignored him after coming back, and was even a little hostile towards him.

After some review, Fang Yiai finally concluded that the reason Yang Yuzhi was hostile to him was that he did not spend a large sum of money to redeem those Western women and give them to him.

Fang Yiai didn't care about this. Since Yang Yuzhi was unwilling to cooperate in transporting the soldiers and armor, there was no need to spend money on him.

"Humph!"

Hearing Fang Yiai's explanations over and over again, Li Tai couldn't help but snort heavily.

He gritted his teeth and said, "You didn't do your job well this time, so I won't hold you accountable for the time being, but you must not cause any more trouble in the future!"

"After I accomplish great things, I will grant you and Chai Lingwu the positions of Shangshu Zuo Pushe!"

what!

Promise them both the title of Shangshu and Zuo Pushe?

When Fang Yiai and Chai Lingwu heard the King of Wei's promise, they couldn't help but look at each other with expressions of astonishment on their faces.

If they serve as Shangshu Zuo Pushe, wouldn't they be the heads of all officials?

Thinking of this, Fang Yiai and Chai Lingwu turned their heads to glance at Wei Ting, Du Chuke and Yin Yuhe, their faces full of disbelief.

The status of these three people in the King of Wei's heart is higher than that of the two of them. How could the King of Wei allow them to serve as the heads of all officials?

Li Tai saw that the expressions of both of them were not right, so he raised his eyebrows and said.

"how?"

"Don't you believe in my promise?"

Hearing a hint of anger in Li Tai's tone, Fang Yiai and Chai Lingwu were startled and quickly waved their hands to explain.

"Your Highness has misunderstood. We are just a little surprised."

"Your Highness has asked the two of us to serve as Shangshu's left and right Pushe. Doesn't that mean the positions of the three governors are lower than ours?"

Although Fang Yiai has decided to pull himself out of the vortex, in order not to reveal his true colors, he still tries to maintain the same attitude as before.

Wei Ting and Du Chuke glanced at Fang Yiai, with a hint of arrogance on their faces.

It seemed as if Fang Yiai was like chicken ribs in their eyes. There was not much use in keeping him, but it would be a pity to discard him.

If Fang Yiai could have brought his father in, they wouldn't have looked down on this dandy boy so much.

Li Tai first glanced at his three important aides, then narrowed his eyes and spoke to Fang Yiai and Chai Lingwu.

"What are you two thinking about?"

"This king has promised the duties of Wei Shishi Si Tu, Du Shishi Si Kong, and Yin Shishi Tai Wei!"

"When the time comes, I will restore the power of the Three Dukes and lead the Tang Dynasty!"

"And the power of you two Shangshu Zuo Pushe is below that of the Three Dukes!"

That's it!

Fang Yiai and Chai Lingwu didn't have much to say about the fact that their status was lower than these three people.

After all, based on their contributions to the King of Wei, Wei Ting and Du Chuke, who had supported the King of Wei with the strength of their entire clan, must be the ones to bear the greatest credit.

As for the King of Wei's plan to make Yin Yushan his queen, Yin Yuhe, the king's brother-in-law, will certainly be entrusted with important tasks.

The two brothers ranked fourth and fifth, higher than that old scoundrel Cui Renshi, which meant that the King of Wei treated them well.

After this little episode, Li Tai did not continue to waste time, but talked to them about the rebellion.

Two hours later.

Seeing that the sky was gradually getting dark, Li Tai stopped the meeting.

He stood up and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, it is late now. I must leave Chang'an immediately to take up my post in my fiefdom."

"Everyone must act according to the plan we have made. We must not let a big mess happen because of the incompetence of one or two people!"

Everyone stood up and responded with serious expressions.

"As ordered!"

Li Tai nodded, then walked up to Fang Yiai and Chai Lingwu with some concern, and gave them some instructions.

"Fang Yiai, your mission is to replace this batch of weapons and armor, and make sure to take care of the people in the Weiwei Temple."

"Chai Lingwu, you must use your authority as the Minister of the Imperial Household to get me more war horses."

"You two have the easiest mission. You must find a way to complete it this time!"

As he said this, Li Tai patted Fang Yiai and Chai Lingwu's shoulders heavily, and once again released the big plan he had painted.

"After this is accomplished, I will not treat you unfairly!"

As he spoke, Li Tai waved to Du Chuke, Yin Yuhe and Yin Yushan, then they walked out of the front yard together, got on the carriage and left.

Wei Ting and the others did not stay here for long. They got on their respective carriages and left the Prince of Wei's Palace.

After everyone left, Fang Yiai and Chai Lingwu looked at each other, then tacitly got on the same carriage and left.

After the carriage had been travelling for about half a quarter of an hour, the two men began to talk in low voices.

Chai Lingwu whispered: "Brother Fang, what should we do now?"

"The King of Wei is winning over more and more forces. If we continue like this, we may be able to accomplish great things!"

"When the time comes, the two of us brothers will serve as Shangshu's left and right ministers, won't we also be able to dominate the government?"

Although Chai Lingwu holds the important post of Shaoqing of Taifu Temple, he is not satisfied with his current position.

He believed that as a member of the royal family, he should serve as the head of the three provinces and six ministries.

Fang Yiai frowned and said, "Brother Chai, my father has already reminded me that His Majesty is paying close attention to the actions of the King of Wei."

"The King of Wei has lost the first opportunity to start a rebellion. There is absolutely no chance of a successful rebellion."

"You'd better come with me and get out of this vortex!"

Fang Yiai himself was also full of enthusiasm for power, but what his father said to him completely extinguished the fire in his heart.

Moreover, he is different from Chai Lingwu. His father now holds an important position and has many brothers and sisters in the family. Opposition now will have too great an impact on their family.

Fang Yiai saw that Chai Lingwu looked somewhat reluctant, so he continued to persuade him.

"Brother Chai, if the two of us don't stop, my father will definitely take action first."

"He won't let me do this, lest it bring trouble to him and our Fang family!"

After hearing what Fang Yiai said, Chai Lingwu realized that they had no choice now.

Duke Liang is keeping a close eye on Brother Fang now. If they don't put on a show of conflict with Du He, Duke Liang might kill his own brother for the sake of justice.

After a moment of silence.

"Hey!"

Chai Lingwu sighed, then said with some reluctance.

"Brother Fang, then let's not follow the King of Wei in rebellion!"

"Although I can't receive the overwhelming wealth, I can avoid the disaster."

According to his current situation, he may never have the chance to serve as the chief official of the three provinces and six ministries in his lifetime, and the highest he can achieve is probably a governor.

His eldest brother inherited all of his father's title, wealth and family background, and now he only serves as the general of Youtunying.
