Traveling through Du He, Li Chengqian's rebellion begins

what!

Changsun Wuji, Yu Zhining, Chu Suiliang and Liu Shi raised their eyebrows, and they were no longer calm at this moment.

Because the few accompanying ministers that Du He mentioned were actually their eldest sons!

Zhang Sun Wuji quickly stood up and said, "Your Majesty, why do we need so many ministers to send an envoy to Japan? I think Du He and Liu Rengui are enough!"

"As for Du He, he has a group of generals escorting him, so his safety is naturally not a problem!"

He had 12 sons in total, and the most promising one was his eldest son, Changsun Chong. How could he allow him to take risks in Japan?

Chu Suiliang also said: "Your Majesty, I think Du Shangshu is making a fuss out of nothing!"

"He treated his mission to Japan as a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth, and completely lost the integrity of my Tang Dynasty envoy!"

Chu Suiliang's tactics were somewhat useful against those ministers who were too obsessed with face to care about their lives, but they had no effect at all on someone like Du He who had no martial ethics.

Du He spread his hands and said, "Zhangsun Zuo Pushe, Chu Shilang, if that's the case, why don't you two serve as the chief and deputy envoys!"

"You two are the pillars of the country, and you are proficient in both civil and military strategies. You are the most suitable to be the envoys!"

Seeing Du He's bad look, Zhangsun Wuji and Chu Suiliang were both furious.

I didn't expect Du He to have such vicious intentions. He used the same method to easily foil their conspiracy!

Cheng Yaojin picked his nose, curled his lips and said, "Changsun Wuji, Chu Suiliang, are you encouraging Du He to go to Japan? Do you want Du He to die there?"

Chang Sun Wuji said with a dark face: "Cheng Yaojin, stop slandering me!"

This old guy has a really foul mouth, he can say anything!

Cheng Yaojin said disdainfully: "Haha, am I slandering you? Then why don't you dare to let your offspring follow Du He to Japan?"

"If you don't have any evil intentions, why do you react so strongly?"

I have to say that Cheng Yaojin's words are the most soul-touching.

Although Changsun Wuji, Chu Suiliang, Yu Zhining and others were filled with anger, they could not say anything to refute.

Because the more they refute, the more it will expose their intentional behavior to trick Du He.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Hou Junji, Liu Li, Du Gou and others stood up to condemn Zhangsun Wuji, Chu Suiliang and others for their impure intentions and their attempt to frame court officials.

Seeing that the quarrel broke out again in the court, Li Shimin hurriedly spoke loudly.

"Du He, I agree to your second request!"

"Tell me your third request."

The corners of Du He's mouth curled up slightly.

He had long guessed that Li Shimin would not refuse his requests, because Li Shimin had no intention of harming him, and naturally had no intention of harming Changsun Chong, Yu Lizheng and others.

In Li Shimin's opinion, Japan could escape unscathed from this trip.

In this case, Li Shimin would naturally not refuse his request.

Du He smiled and said, "Your Majesty, my third request is to lead 1000 imperial guards to accompany you."

Is this a small request?

Not to mention Li Shimin's confusion, even the other civil and military officials looked bewildered.

Can a mere 1000 imperial guards protect them?

Before Li Shimin could speak, Yu Zhining stood up and said, "Minister Du, 1000 imperial guards are not enough. We need at least 5000!"

Chu Suiliang shook his head and said, "I think we should mobilize 1 imperial guards to ensure the safety of our envoys!"

Chang Sun Wuji frowned and said: "I think it would be best to send 3 soldiers to escort them..."

That's it!

The other civil and military officials immediately understood what was going on.

Perhaps these 1000 imperial guards can protect Du He's safety, but they certainly cannot protect the safety of Chang Sun Chong, Yu Lizheng, Chu Yanfu, Liu Zhiren and others.

It would be interesting if Du He returns to the Tang Dynasty safely and their legitimate sons die in Japan!

The corner of Li Shimin's mouth twitched slightly, and he said in a deep voice with a stern face.

"Sending 3 imperial troops to Japan, do you want to go to war with Japan and the King of Wei?"

"Besides, we don't have that many large ships at present, so this request is a bit unrealistic!"

At present, most of the large seagoing ships have been taken away by the King of Wei, and the remaining ten or so large ships cannot carry so many soldiers.

Li Shimin did not allow these ministers to continue talking nonsense, he gave the order directly.

"Du He, I will dispatch 300 Black Armored Soldiers and 3000 elite Imperial Guards to escort you to Japan!"

"Remember, this trip is not to start a war, but to persuade the king of Japan to send troops to take the King of Wei and the rebels back to Chang'an!"

Seeing that Li Shimin had only sent more than 2200 soldiers to escort, Changsun Wuji, Chu Suiliang and others looked worried.

Du He bowed calmly and said, "Your Majesty, I obey your order!"

After Du He sat down, Li Shimin turned to look at Xue Wanche and Niu Jinda and gave them orders.

"Niu Jinda, you command 300 black armor soldiers!"

"Xue Wanche, you will select 3000 elite imperial guards today, and you will be the commander in chief to escort Du He and the others!"

Niu Jinda and Xue Wanche quickly stood up and saluted.

"The minister obeys the order!"

Then Li Shimin said some precautions and then stood up and spoke.

"Niu Jinda, Xue Wanche, follow me to Liangyi Palace."

"Retreat!"

After Li Shimin and Li Chengqian, who looked worried, left the Taiji Hall, Hou Junji, Liu Li, Du Gou and others surrounded Du He and talked.

"Du He, you...are confused!"

"This trip to Japan is extremely dangerous, why don't you refuse?"

In their view, the legitimate sons of Changsun Wuji, Chu Suiliang and others were not even as good as a finger of Du He.

Feeling the caring words from several people, Du He felt warm in his heart.

He said softly: "Don't worry, I am accompanied by a group of generals, 300 black armored soldiers and 3000 elite imperial guards. I will not be in danger."

"Whether the other envoys are safe or not is up to fate."

After hearing Du He's words, Changsun Wuji, Chu Suiliang, Yu Zhining and others all left the Taiji Hall with gloomy faces.

Then Hou Junji, Du Gou and others gave Du He some more instructions before leaving with a sigh.

Shortly after Du He returned to the Ministry of Works, Li Chengqian sent someone to call him to Mingde Hall.

"Du He, why don't you refuse your father's order? You know the situation in Japan!"

Du He said helplessly: "Your Highness, although His Majesty was instigated by Zhangsun Wuji and others to let me be the chief envoy this time, His Majesty also intended to warn me."

Li Chengqian frowned and asked, "Why did the emperor want to punish you?"

"It should be that Yin Yushan's affair was exposed."

"Uh..."

Li Chengqian's face froze.

He said unhappily, "Du He, who told you to place Yin Yushan in the Duke of Lai's mansion? Are you afraid that the emperor won't know that you are hiding the remnants of the Yin family?"

"If you send her out of Chang'an, nothing will happen."

Du He touched the tip of his nose and said angrily: "I am also obsessed with lust..."

Although he wanted to remain restrained, he could not control himself in the face of Yin Yushan who took off his armor.

Only those who have experienced the temptation of ice and fire can understand it.

"Ah!" Li Chengqian sighed, and then warned: "Then you should be careful on this trip. If you really can't make it, take a big ship to stroll around the sea, and then come back to Chang'an."

"When the time comes, you will report to your father and tell him that there is civil unrest in Japan and the large ship cannot dock."
