Traveling through Du He, Li Chengqian's rebellion begins

Yin Yushan did not answer Du He's words immediately, but turned to look at the quiet Qujiang with a complicated expression on her face.

After a long time, she turned around and spoke softly.

"The King of Wei is currently powerful, while the King of Jin is currently weak. My eldest brother does not want to wait too long."

"Besides, our Yin family and the Li royal family have had a blood feud since our ancestors. How can a child of the Yin family not seek revenge?"

The reason why the Yin family painstakingly instigated the prince to rebel was not only to gain huge benefits for themselves, but also to take revenge on the Li royal family.

Their father had instilled in them the idea of revenge since they were young. Although they knew that instigating the prince to rebel would lead to their own death, they still did it without hesitation.

How can we forget such a deep blood feud?

Du He shook his head and said, "Miss Yin, your Yin clan first killed Li Zhiyun, and then dug up the ancestral graves of the Li royal family. This feud was first committed by your grandfather."

"His Majesty is willing to pardon you and your sister. This is already a great mercy. You are just sending yourself to die in vain by doing this."

"Besides, the Tang Dynasty is now stable. Instead of thinking about revenge on the Li royal family, you might as well restore your family to its former glory first."

As for the feud between Yin family and Longxi Li family, the root cause of the error was Yin Shishi.

The hatred of killing a son is already irreconcilable, let alone digging up someone's ancestral grave?

You have to know that in this dynasty where sacrifices were important, digging up someone's ancestral grave was more serious than a blood feud. This was a way to cut off the roots of the Longxi Li family.

Li Yuan did not massacre all the Yin family members at that time, which was considered to be a generous person, not to mention that Li Shimin now spared the two siblings Yin Yushan and Yin Yuhe.

After listening to Du He's persuasion, Yin Yushan stared at the campfire in front of her with a dazed expression.

There was silence for a long time.

"Hey~"

Yin Yushan suddenly sighed.

She said with regret: "I have also persuaded my elder brother to forget this hatred, but his hatred for the Longxi Li family has penetrated deep into his bones."

"Moreover, the forces behind my eldest brother also have a deep hatred for the Longxi Li family. Now it is impossible for my eldest brother to retreat."

Since their father's death, they have been weak and helpless, with no one to rely on except their aunt Yin Fei.

It was this group of remnants of the House of Punishment that found them and their brothers and sisters, which gave them a strong ability to gather intelligence and also gave them the capital to surrender to the King of Wei.

Du He asked curiously, "Miss Yin, I wonder who is behind this force behind you?"

"Could it be the remnants of Qi Wang Li You's army?"

Yin Hongzhi was the most important minister under Prince of Qi Li You, and the officials in the Prince of Qi's mansion who participated in the rebellion were basically loyal to him.

Although Li Shimin killed a large number of officials who followed Li You in rebellion, there were still many who escaped.

Since these people have the courage to join the rebellion, they must have some family strength.

Yin Yushan smiled and said, "Mr. Du, this is what I need to make a living. You can't tell anyone about it now."

"But my eldest brother also said that when you marry me, I will immediately hand over this power to you."

She saw Du He's brows slightly frowned, with a hint of displeasure on his face, so she bit her thin red lips and said.

"Mr. Du, the forces behind me include not only Li You's old subordinates, but also a small number of Li Yuanji's officials."

"For example, the new governor of Qizhou, Li Sixing!"

"As for the others, I really can't tell you at the moment, so please don't blame me for not being honest."

what!

Li Sixing is actually one of the forces behind Yin Yushan and her siblings!

Although Li Sixing is not well-known, he is the number one strategist under Li Yuanji and a man of both wisdom and courage.

Although his strategy was not as good as that of Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng, it was not too far behind. He was a talented person who was proficient in both civil affairs and military tactics.

Du He asked in astonishment: "Does Li Sixing also have a grudge against Your Majesty?"

Yin Yushan nodded and said, "Li Shishi was loyal to his former master Li Yuanji, but Li Yuanji was shot dead by Li Shimin himself. How can we not avenge him?"

"But he has a lot of concerns in his mind, and he has been making plans behind the scenes."

That's it!

Although Du He didn't know much about Li Sixing, he knew that the people of Jiazhou lived and worked in peace and contentment under his rule, and that he was a capable official.

Du He thought for a while and then chuckled.

"Miss Yin, your forces supporting the King of Wei's rebellion are truly powerful!"

"If the King of Wei achieves something great, you must introduce me to him. Otherwise, I am only six feet tall and I will die without a burial place."

Yin Yushan's expression did not change at all in response to Du He's teasing.

She knew that Du He would never surrender to King Wei, and even if King Wei achieved great things, he would not recruit Du He to work for him.

Not everyone has as broad a mind as Li Shimin. Li Tai is a narrow-minded person and cannot tolerate anyone who has offended him.

Yin Yushan stood up and said, "Mr. Du, I invited you here today not only to reminisce about the past, but also to invite you to visit the Moxiang Bookstore in Pingkangfang when you have time."

"There are many books in Moxiang Bookstore, which can soothe people's hearts and cultivate their sentiments."

"Although the women in Baihua Tower are charming, if you go there too often, your body will be drained."

At present, there are many bookstores in the prosperous provinces of the Tang Dynasty, such as Chang'an, Luoyang and Yangzhou, while the poorer provinces and counties have simple book sheds.

In addition to selling books used for the imperial examinations, these places also undertook the work of copying books for wealthy families.

When Du He heard Yin Yushan mention Baihua Tower, there was no change on his face.

After all, Baihua Tower was just a place for him to listen to music and have fun, and he didn't have much feeling for those courtesans.

With his status, what beautiful woman could he not want?

Although the women in brothels were pure prostitutes, it was impossible for people working in such places to become wives or concubines of such wealthy families.

Du He raised his eyebrows and said, "Miss Yin is so elegant. I will definitely visit you when I have time."

Yin Yushan nodded, then covered her mouth and chuckled.

"Mr. Du, it's getting late now. Can you take me back to Pingkangfang?"

"The young lady's residence is also in Pingkangfang."

Although Pingkangfang is famous for its romance, eating, drinking and having fun, people like Li Jing, Duke of Weiguo, also lived in Pingkangfang.

Yin Yushan opened a bookstore there, so it's normal for her to live there.

Du He smiled and said, "It is naturally a great pleasure in life to be able to ride in the same sedan chair with Miss Yin."

Then he walked out of the pavilion and called back all the guards.

Du Wu, Zhang Shizheng, Feng Shijin and others saw the master helping the beautiful lady into the carriage, and the master also followed in, their mouths opened wide.

what's the situation?

Could it be that this beautiful woman is a vixen that the master keeps outside?

What would we do if Her Royal Highness the Princess knew about this?

Just as they were astonished, Du He's voice came from the carriage.

"Go to Pingkangfang."
