Traveling through Du He, Li Chengqian's rebellion begins

Li Shimin had finally made the trip to Mount Tai, so he would definitely visit the surrounding prefectures and counties. It was reasonable for these governors to make preparations in advance.

After all, no matter how good their political achievements were, they could not compare to what Li Shimin had seen and heard.

Du He nodded, then said with a look of relief on his face.

"Thank you for your hard work, Minister Yu!"

"This time you directed the laborers in various states and counties to repair the official roads and mountain roads. You have done a very good job, but you cannot take it lightly and need to continue to maintain the official roads."

"When your majesty and all the officials return from the Fengshan ceremony at Mount Tai, I will recommend you for merit!"

Although Yu Chang came from a scholarly family and looked like an elegant scholar, he was also an expert in directing specific engineering matters.

During this period, Du He did not worry about anything other than supervising the progress of the project renovation.

Yu Chang said with a serious face: "Please rest assured, Minister Du, I have already left the doctors of the three departments in various places to prevent the official roads from being washed away by the rainy season."

There have been a few light spring rains already, but when Li Shimin goes to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth, there is a chance that there will be heavy rain.

If heavy rain washed away the official road, all their previous efforts would be in vain.

Du He glanced at the sky outside. Seeing that it was almost time to go off duty, he stood up, waved his hand and said.

"Minister Yu, it's getting late now. You should go back and rest first."

Yu Chang clasped his fists and said, "I will take my leave first."

After he saluted respectfully, he turned around and quickly left the Ministry of Works.

During this period, he slept in the open air in various places and had no conditions to wash or brush his teeth. His life was not very comfortable.

Now that he is back in Chang'an, he can't wait to soak in the bathtub and wash off the dust on his body.

Du He tidied up the memorials on the desk and then slowly left his office.

Before he walked out of the lobby of the Ministry of Industry, Xiao Kai came over with a sly smile on his face, and came close to Du He and whispered with a sly smile.

"hey-hey."

"Brother Du, Fang Yiai and Chai Lingwu were two idiots. They were taken to Sishui Road by the Dali Temple this morning to serve their sentences!"

"From now on, without these two annoying guys in the court, our ears and eyes will be less busy."

The last time Xiao Kai beat up Fang Yiai and Chai Lingwu in Baihua Tower, he was happy for more than half a month.

Now that the two of them are missing from the court, two core positions are vacant.

In particular, Chai Lingwu held the position of Shaoqing of Taipu Temple, which was an official position below the fourth rank.

Du He, who knew the situation, did not gloat over it. He spoke with a hint of meaning.

"It's a bit hard for them to go to Surabaya to serve their sentences, but it's a good thing for both of them."

Xiao Kai raised his eyebrows and asked in a low voice: "Brother Du, are you hiding something from us?"

"Could it be that Fang Yiai and Chai Lingwu deliberately bumped into you?"

They saw that although Fang Yiai pounced on Du He, his fist did not hit Du He. From that time on, they realized that this was a setup.

Moreover, Du He, Fang Yiai and Chai Lingwu all knew about this plan, and even Fang Xuanling, who was willing to sacrifice his own relatives for the sake of justice, knew about it.

Du He smiled and said, "Brother Xiao, I can't say more about this matter now. You will understand it after a while."

Xiao Kai nodded and said, "Brother Du, there is indeed something fishy about this matter!"

When he told Wang Jingzhi and Cui Shenji that there was something fishy about this matter, that idiot Wang Jingzhi didn't believe it and insisted that Fang Yiai was deliberately making trouble.

Du He glanced at him and said, "Brother Xiao, the position of Shaoqing of the Imperial Household Department is vacant now. Are you interested in applying for it?"

Xiao Kai shook his head and said, "Brother Du, the Minister of the Imperial Household is my elder brother. His Majesty will not allow two brothers to serve in the same department."

He and his elder brother Xiao Rui had different tempers. Even if His Majesty was willing to promote him to the position of Junior Minister of the Imperial Household, he did not want to go over there and suffer their anger.

Xiao Kai was already very unhappy about being taught a lesson by his old-fashioned father, and now he is also disciplined by his elder brother while on duty. What fun is there in his life?

It would be better for him to stay in the Ministry of Works and follow Du He. He will be promoted quickly when the prince ascends the throne.

Du He smiled and said, "What you said does make some sense."

Then the two of them walked and talked, and then left the palace together.

Just as Du He's car drove into Chongrenfang, suddenly an ordinary-looking middle-aged man stopped the car and handed a secret letter to Feng Shijin.

"Brother, please pass this letter to Minister Du."

"Just say we're meeting old friends!"

After the middle-aged man finished speaking, he quickly ran into the alley behind him.

Master Feng, who was confused, took a look at the secret letter and found that there was no danger. Then he handed the secret letter to Du He who was sitting in the carriage.

"Could it be that this letter was written by that bitch Yin Yushan?"

Du He looked at the familiar words on the outside of the letter, muttered in his heart, then opened the letter and read it carefully.

"At the end of the Shu hour, I'll see you at Qujiang Pavilion. I miss you, Yushan."

There were only a few short words on the letter, but the familiar content brought a faint smile to Du He's face.

Du He didn't expect that at this critical moment, the fat boy Li Tai would be willing to let Yin Yushan come to Chang'an.

After all, judging from Yin Yuhe's character, he would definitely instigate Li Tai to rebel in the next two years, and Yin Yushan's coming to Chang'an was probably Yin Yuhe's way of escaping.

Du He held the letter in silence for a long time. Just as the carriage drove into Princess Chengyang's mansion, he skillfully put the letter into a hand warmer and burned it.

The private meeting with Yin Yushan must not be known to Li Yi who is pregnant.

...

That night.

After Du He accompanied Li Yi and Linglong to finish their meal, he and Li Yi took a walk in the garden in the backyard for half an hour.

Just as the two of them walked into the pavilion to rest, Du He said softly.

"Yier, you take a rest first, I have something else to go out for."

Li Yi pouted and asked, "Husband, what are you going to do so late at night?"

Her husband is a very lazy man. He is too lazy to move when asked to go out.

The wind is still cold today. Li Yi didn't expect that her husband would go out again. This is really hard to understand.

Du He whispered, "Yier, I am only meeting someone on behalf of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"The information in this person's hands is exactly what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been dreaming about!"

When Li Yi heard that her husband was actually doing some serious work, she finally let go of her guard.

After a few breaths of silence.

Li Yi said softly: "Husband, then you have to come back early."

She was not someone who did not know her limits. Now that her husband was helping the Crown Prince, this was a great thing.

"it is good!"

Du He responded with a smile, then helped Li Yi back to the dormitory.

After he settled Li Yi and Linglong, he took Du Wu, Zhang Shizheng, Feng Shijin and others and rode on horseback to the direction of Qujiang Pavilion.

Half an hour later.

Under the escort of a group of guards, Du He quickly arrived at the remote Qujiang Pavilion.

The scene was the same as the last time I met Yin Yushan. Apart from Yin Yushan, there was only a burning bonfire under the Qujiang Pavilion.

Du He looked at her deeply, then waved to the guards and said.

"You guys go and keep watch on the surrounding area."

After the guards dispersed and left, Du He straightened his clothes and then strode into the pavilion with his head held high.
