Traveling through Du He, Li Chengqian's rebellion begins

Take Duke of Song Xiao Yu as an example. He was dismissed from his position as prime minister many times and reappointed as prime minister many times. His official position was not stable at all.

On the contrary, his title of Duke of Song was as stable as a rock.

The title can be passed down from generation to generation. Even if there are no capable people among the descendants, the family will not decline in a short period of time. This is the most important thing!

Du He smiled and nodded, then said softly

"Yier, now that the Prince of Wei's Mansion has been awarded to me by His Majesty, do you think I should live here in the Princess' Mansion, or move to the Duke of Han's Mansion?"

Although the Hanguogong Mansion is not as good as the Chengyang Princess Mansion in terms of geographical location, it is much larger in area.

A large artificial lake was dug inside, and fresh water was brought throughout the city.

Its luxury is much better than that of other princesses' and dukes' mansions, except for Yuchi Gong's Duke of E's Mansion.

Li Yi said softly, "My husband, the Princess Chengyang's residence is in Chongrenfang, just one wall away from the Imperial Palace, while the Duke of Korea's residence is in Yankangfang, Chang'an County, much farther away from the Imperial Palace."

"Stay in the princess's mansion for now. You don't have to get up early to attend court."

Hearing Li Yi's words of concern for him, Du He smiled and nodded.

With a wife like this, what more can a husband ask for?

Li Yi smiled and said, "My dear husband, to celebrate your promotion, I want to set up a three-day banquet at the Princess's residence!"

"When the time comes, invite all the royal sisters over, so that they can also share in the good fortune of their husband."

It's fake that you are just trying to get some good luck, but it's real that you are trying to show off.

Du He did not expose her, but said to her: "Yier, the buffet will be held tomorrow. Now let's go back to the Duke of Lai's Mansion."

"Such a happy event has happened. I should burn some incense to my parents so that they will know about it even in their graves."

"Okay." Li Yi nodded sweetly in response.

...

Half an hour later.

Du He brought Li Yi, Linglong and three children to the Duke of Lai's Mansion under the escort of guards.

With the assistance of the old butler Fu Bo, Du He, his wife and children burned incense and knelt respectfully, and talked about many recent events in front of the spirit tablets of their father and mother.

After the worship.

Du Gou saw Princess Chengyang, Linglong and others chatting in the lobby, so he took the opportunity to walk up to Du He and whispered.

"Second brother, do you want to call Miss Yin over for dinner later?"

"It's no use hiding it like this!"

Du Gou was well aware of the little secret between Lao Er and Miss Yin.

An orphan and a widow stayed in the same room for an hour. How could they just do nothing?

Du He quickly said, "Brother, there's no need to call her out. I haven't mentioned this to Li Yi yet."

"Okay." Du Gou nodded.

Now that the second brother has become successful, he, as the eldest brother, can't say much.

But now that the second brother is doing this, he always feels uneasy, fearing that something might go wrong one day.

After all, the second daughter is Princess Shang, and as the son-in-law, he has no right to take a concubine without Li Yi's permission!

While eating, Du He went to the side room to see Yin Yushan on the pretext of having a stomachache.

As soon as the two met, Yin Yushan asked nervously.

"Du Lang, is my elder brother... okay?"

"Hehe." Du He laughed evilly, and then said: "Your elder brother lived a very carefree life in Japan, and he had no less than 10 beauties."

"When you meet each other in the future, you may have dozens of nephews."

Well...

Yin Yushan’s face froze.

Her elder brother, who usually only thinks about revenge and isn't interested in women, has nearly 10 concubines in Japan?

Is this still the big brother she knows?

Du He then explained the situation in Japan to Yin Yushan in a concise and clear manner.

After learning that her elder brother was safe and sound in Japan, Yin Yushan finally felt relieved.

She curled her lips and said, "It is said that if you keep company with the good, you will be good. If you keep company with the bad, you will be bad. My elder brother has been around the King of Wei and Wei Ting and has become a bad person now!"

Du He smiled and said, "Yushan, your elder brother is not a good person."

Yin Yushan rolled her eyes at Du He, then said coquettishly, "You are a heartless and unfaithful man. You took advantage of everything and now you start to belittle your brother-in-law at will."

Although she said this, she did not deny what Du He said.

Looking at what her elder brother has done during this period, he really can't be called a good person, and it's not an exaggeration to describe him as a bad person.

After some banter, the two started talking about business.

Du He whispered, "Li Tai has told me the location of the first treasure house. It is located in Xiangzhou, and there are nearly 120 million strings of cash in it!"

"Go to Xiangzhou, buy a large house, dig a deep underground vault, and move the money in the treasury over there!"

"I'll send Du Wu to assist you!"

"Wait two or three years, and then transport the money back to Chang'an!"

Du He would not let Li Yi know about this for the time being. After all, all these money were accumulated by her second brother. If she knew that she had blackmailed Li Tai for millions of strings of cash, she might feel uncomfortable.

Yin Yushan is his woman, she is efficient and decisive, and a reliable person.

"Okay!" Yin Yushan responded, and then said with some concern: "Du Lang, if we make such a big fuss in Xiangzhou, it will definitely attract the attention of Xiangzhou officials. If they investigate, will there be any problems?"

The money spent by a traitor like Li Tai no longer belongs to him, but should be taken into the national treasury.

In other words, this batch of money belonged to the imperial court.

Du He waved his hand and said, "Wang Xuance, the chief of Xiangzhou, is my man. I will write a letter by hand and ask Du Wu to give it to him."

"Yeah." Yin Yushan replied in a low voice.

Then she tucked her hair behind her ears and whispered shyly, "Du Lang, do you need me to take off your armor for you?"

"No, no, no...Princess Chengyang is still in the mansion." Du He waved his hands quickly.

Li Yi is still in the Duke of Lai's Mansion. If he is stripped of his armor, he will not be able to return for at least an hour.

When he is discovered, he will have to spend a lot of energy explaining himself.

Looking at Yin Yushan's lost expression, Du He said in a low voice.

"Your Majesty has given me the Prince of Wei's Mansion today as a Duke's Mansion. You can move to the Duke of Han's Mansion in a few days."

Under Yin Yushan's astonished gaze, Du He briefly told her about the reward he had received today.

Yin Yushan said with a stern look in her eyes: "Du Lang, you are too strong."

Hearing her suggestive words, Du He controlled the desire in his heart, said a few words to her, and then quickly returned to the side hall.

...

The next day.

After the court meeting of all officials.

When Du He was handling government affairs in the Ministry of Works, Sun Simiao, whom he had not seen for many days, knocked on the door.

"Du Shangshu, is it convenient for us to chat now?"

"I have something to report to you regarding the medical school."

Du He quickly stood up and said, "Dr. Sun, please come in and sit down."

Sun Simiao, in his octogenarian years, is still vigorous and looks not much different from a man in his 40s or 50s.

After Sun Simiao came in, he said, "Mr. Du, after nearly a year of teaching, I found that the 100 medical bachelors and 200 medical associate bachelors have not yet reached the level to become apprentices."

"I suggest that they continue to study with me for two more years."

Then Sun Simiao gave Du He a detailed introduction to the current situation of the medical school.

After listening.

Du He smiled and said, "Dr. Sun, just do as you say."

Just as Du He and Sun Simiao were discussing the construction of the medical school, Xiao Kai rushed in hurriedly and said.

"Mr. Du, Xuanzang has returned to Chang'an!"

"Your Majesty has ordered you and Minister Fang to lead the officials to Duting Posthouse to welcome Xuanzang into the palace!"
