Traveling through Du He, Li Chengqian's rebellion begins

The eldest brother Du Gou has been extremely depressed recently because of the murder of a family member.

He is different from the time traveler Du He. Even though the family treated the three brothers badly, Du Gou still had some feelings for the family.

In order to appease his eldest brother and third brother, Du He would go to Duke Lai's Mansion almost every day to drink with them to relieve their boredom.

However, Du He has been taking care of his health recently, and the wine he drinks is made from tiger and donkey penises.

Of course, sometimes we also eat some lamb as a snack.

After drinking, Du He took some time to meet with Yin Yushan. After all, apart from her aunt in the deep palace, she only had him to rely on.

Du He would counsel the princess for half an hour to an hour every day, then go back to the princess's mansion to take a bath and play with his wives, concubines and children.

He has been so busy during this period that he is exhausted!

Cui Shenji curled his lips and said, "Brother Du is so generous, otherwise I would have dealt with them long ago!"

After hearing Choi Sun-ki's words, Du He gave a low warning.

"You should all keep a low profile for a while. The officials in the court are fighting for vacant positions and are almost going crazy."

"If you are caught with any evidence, you might be impeached to death by these ministers!"

There were not many vacant official positions in the imperial court, but in the local prefectures and counties, there were more than eighty vacant positions above the rank of county magistrate.

In the past few days, the Guanlong gentry, Hedong clan, Shandong clan and Jiangnan clan have all participated. The gentry who have good relations have united and fought to the death with clans of other forces for their own interests.

The weak noble families who wanted to get a piece of the pie not only gained nothing from this dispute, but many of their children were implicated.

It can be said that stealing the chicken will lose the rice.

Cui Shenji, Wang Jingzhi and Xiao Kai nodded solemnly.

Their family was a direct participant, and as the family's direct descendants, the three of them naturally received hostility from other competing families.

After the four of them left Baihua Tower, they each took a carriage home.

Du He had just returned to Princess Chengyang's Mansion in a carriage when the servant guarding the gate walked into the lobby and reported to him.

"My Lord, there is a man claiming to be Wang Xuance outside who wants to see you."

When the servant saw the ugly Wang Xuance, he wanted to drive him away. However, after Wang Xuance showed him the official seal, he ran in happily to report.

Du He said softly: "Please invite him in quickly."

"promise!"

The servant responded and quickly ran out of the hall.

Not long after, Wang Xuance, carrying a package, walked in quickly, led by his servants.

He walked five steps towards Du He, knelt down and bowed with excitement.

"Wang Xuance, the chief secretary of the Prime Minister, greets Minister Du!"

Du He's expression changed, and he smiled and said, "Xuan Ce, get up! Congratulations on being appointed as Xiangchangshi by the imperial court!"

Before this, Wang Xuance's position was a fifth-rank civil official, a doctor of the imperial court, which did not have much prospects.

Now that he has been promoted to the fifth rank of Xiangzhou Changshi, he has a greater chance of making achievements and getting promoted.

Wang Xuance stood up and said gratefully: "Minister Du, if it weren't for your support, I would have no chance of being promoted!"

"If Minister Du does not give up, I will follow your lead in the future!"

That's right!

Wang Xuance came here today, not only to express his gratitude to Du He, but also to curry favor with him!

He has worked hard as an official for more than ten years and has made many achievements, but he has not been promoted as quickly as he had been by going out for a stroll with Du He.

Moreover, Wang Xuance firmly believed that as long as he followed Du He, he would be able to achieve great success in the future!

Du He smiled and nodded: "Xuan Ce, I have received your kindness. As long as you make some achievements in Xiangzhou, I will recommend you to the chief officials of the three provinces to return to the court to serve as an official."

Wang Xuance saw Du He accept his surrender, his face flushed as he replied: "Don't worry, Minister Du, I have been a county magistrate for nearly 10 years, so I have some experience in governing a place."

Then Wang Xuance opened the package and took out a ceramic bottle from it.

He held it up high like he was offering a treasure, and said with a sly smile, "Minister Du, this is the sacred essential oil given to me by King Harsha, the king of Central India, when I was escorting the Central India envoy back to my country!"

"According to King Harsha, this magical item can prolong sexual intercourse. I am alone and cannot use it, so I am giving it to Minister Du."

“I hope Du Shangshu can be majestic and invincible!”

What?

The essential oil sent by Zhongtianzhu?

Is this thing out now?

"Cough cough~"

Du He coughed twice, then said seriously: "Xuan Ce, I don't need to borrow the power of external objects, but this is your kindness, it would be bad for me to refuse."

"Bring it here!"

Wang Xuance nodded and said, "Of course I know that Minister Du has no use for this thing, but it has a refreshing fragrance and it would be a bit oppressive to put it in the bedroom."

As he said this, he quickly handed the porcelain to Du He, then respectfully stepped aside.

Du He opened the bottle cap and took a look. Although he couldn't see clearly what was inside, the smell it emitted was indeed very fragrant.

"Xuan Ce, I will accept this treasure from Central India."

"If you have nothing to do now, go back first."

Wang Xuance quickly responded, "I'll take my leave."

After Wang Xuance left, Du He went back to the backyard with the porcelain and said to Li Yi.

"Yier, I'm going to go to the Duke of Lai's mansion to continue to enlighten my eldest brother."

Li Yi pouted and said, "Husband, is my brother still worried about the family affairs?"

"Ah!" Du He sighed, then shook his head and said, "My eldest brother is very attached to the family, I'm afraid he won't be able to get out of it for a while."

What he said was true. Big brother Du Gou has lost a lot of weight in the past few days.

Li Yi nodded and said, "Okay, then my husband, you should go early and come back early."

"it is good."

Du He responded and left quickly.

In order to go there and come back early, Du He did not take a carriage, but rode his BMW at full speed.

Not long after, Du He arrived at the Duke of Lai's Mansion. After chatting with his elder brother, he hurried to the side room to find Yin Yushan.

...

An hour and a half later.

Du He left the Duke of Lai's Mansion with great satisfaction. When he was riding on his horse, he was like a general returning from a great victory.

Just like before, I took a warm bath when I returned to the mansion.

...

The next day.

A meeting of hundreds of officials.

The atmosphere of today's court meeting was the same as before. It seemed harmonious on the surface, but in fact it was full of intrigue.

After the heads of various departments had reported on all matters, Li Shimin, looking tired, pinched his brows and then spoke in a loud voice.

"My dear ministers, after more than a month of day and night operations, we have dealt with the families involved in the rebellion!"

"Next, I will send an envoy to Japan to deal with the King of Wei and the rest of the rebels!"

When the civil and military officials heard Li Shimin's words, they suddenly became quiet.

But everyone's faces looked a little strange.

The King of Wei might have led his soldiers to conquer Japan by now. Sending an envoy to Japan now is really like asking for death, isn't it?

A moment of silence.

Li Shimin looked at Du He and Liu Rengui and gave them orders.

"Du He, I order you to be the chief envoy and Liu Rengui to be the deputy envoy. Tomorrow you will carry the letter of credence to Japan and order them to hand over the King of Wei and all the rebels!"

what!

Let me go to Japan?

Du He's eyes suddenly widened.

A thought popped up in his mind.

"Li Shimin wants to harm me..."
