Traveling through Du He, Li Chengqian's rebellion begins

After this period of secret screening, all the palace maids with different identities in the back hall have been cleared out by him and Su Wan.

The palace maids who remain in the back hall have all been with them for more than ten years.

Even many beautiful palace maids were favored by him.

In addition, at Du He's suggestion, Li Chengqian arranged for palace maids to guard the gates in and out of the harem, and everyone who came in had to be checked.

"That's good." Du He felt relieved.

As long as there is no problem on Li Chengqian's side, everything will be fine.

Li Chengqian frowned and asked, "Du He, how are your arrangements regarding Wu Meiniang's seduction of Li Zhi going?"

Du He replied in a low voice: "The time is not yet determined. Wait for news from Wu Meiniang and the spies from the Prince of Jin's Mansion."

Ever since Wu Meiniang and Li Yifu sent back the news half a month ago, they have not made any movement in the past few days.

However, Li Shimin is going to Cuiwei Palace tomorrow. I guess the impatient Li Zhi can't wait to meet Wu Meiniang.

Li Chengqian said in a deep voice: "This matter must be carefully arranged!"

"it is good."

Du He nodded.

The two chatted for another half an hour before Du He left the East Palace.

As soon as he returned to the Ministry of War, Sun Simiao, who was waiting in the lobby, hurried to greet him.

"Minister Du, I have to accompany Your Majesty to Cuiwei Palace tomorrow, and I'm afraid I won't be able to return in the short term."

"You must entrust the teaching and management of the medical school to other imperial physicians."

After two years of development, the medical school has enrolled its second batch of students, and the number of students has doubled that of the first batch.

Once these people have completed their studies, they will be able to serve as core teachers in medical schools opened in various states and counties.

Du He asked, "Dr. Sun, who do you think can take on this important task?"

"Doctor Zhen."

"Okay, then let Doctor Zhen take charge of the medical school temporarily!"

"Thank you, Minister Du, for your trust."

Sun Simiao did not expect that Du He trusted him so much. Without any hesitation, he directly chose the person he recommended to manage the medical school.

This trust still makes him feel deeply moved.

Du He said softly, "Dr. Sun, since you're here, why don't you come to my office for a cup of tea?"

"it is good."

Sun Simiao nodded.

After the two men entered the office, Du He turned around, closed the door, and bolted it.

Chat for a while.

Du He asked in a low voice, "Dr. Sun, how is the Duke of Liang doing?"

"I have many serious illnesses. I'm afraid I can only live until this time next year."

"Even you can't do anything?"

"No."

Sun Simiao shook his head helplessly.

In his opinion, Fang Xuanling's illness was several times more serious than His Majesty's.

He had ways to alleviate the illness Your Majesty was suffering from, but he had never encountered the complicated illness that Fang Xuanling was suffering from before.

Even though Fang Xuanling is still like a normal person now, once he falls down, he will never be able to get up again.

"Hey!"

Du He sighed.

He then asked, "How is Duke Song Xiao Yu's health?"

"Still tough."

"That's good!"

After all, Xiao Yu is the father of his good brother. He would always say a few good words for him in court. It would be good for him to be in good health.

According to historical records, the reason why Xiao Yu died of illness was not only because he was depressed after being dismissed from his position as prime minister, but also because of the death of his sister Empress Xiao.

Now Xiao Yu has not been dismissed from his position as prime minister, Empress Xiao is alive and well, and her fate has changed.

A moment of silence.

Du He lowered his voice and asked, "Divine Doctor Sun, has His Majesty's health improved recently?"

"If you keep on worrying about it, it will only take two years."

"Thank you!"

Du He bowed and said nothing more.

He poured a cup of tea and handed it to Sun Simiao with both hands: "Dr. Sun, I offer you a cup."

"Ah."

Sun Simiao calmly took the tea handed to him by Du He.

He risked being beheaded and revealed so many secrets to that brat Du He. Du He should have given him this cup of tea a long time ago.

Let’s finish talking about business.

The two of them also talked openly and chatted about the development of the medical school until the end of their shift.

The next day.

There was no court meeting today. All civil and military officials gathered in front of the Suzaku Gate of the imperial palace to see Li Shimin off.

Li Shimin's dragon chariot stopped in front of Du He, and his low voice came from inside the curtain.

"Du He, I want to clean up the world as soon as possible, don't make me wait too long!"

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

After Li Shimin's dragon chariot and his entourage left, all the civil and military officials looked at Du He with strange eyes, their faces full of curiosity.

They were all confused and didn't know what His Majesty meant by what he said to Du He.

Stand in the front position.

Li Zhi looked at the huge team that was moving further and further away, and his hands, hidden in his wide sleeves, were clenched into fists.

Father finally left!

Ever since Wu Meiniang took the initiative to express her love to him, Li Zhi's longing for Wu Meiniang has deepened day by day, and he can't wait to meet her immediately.

During this period, he did not favor the princess or other concubines.

...

Five days later.

night.

In the palace of Prince Jin.

Li Zhi sat high in the first seat, and Zhangsun Wuji, Chu Suiliang, Yu Zhining, Liu Shi, Li Yifu and others were all gathered here.

At this moment, everyone's faces were extremely solemn and the atmosphere was filled with solemnity.

Zhang Sun Wuji said in a deep voice: "Everyone, the time has come!"

After hearing what Changsun Wuji said, everyone couldn't help but sit up straighter.

It’s finally time to take action!

Zhang Sun Wuji continued, "I have already made a plan with the concubine who took action. I will find an opportunity to help her sneak into the Eastern Palace in the next few days."

"Once the concubine succeeds, you must quickly call the people from the Censorate, the Dali Temple, and the Ministry of Justice to the Eastern Palace. We must catch them in the act!"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Then Changsun Wuji explained some details, and Li Zhi said a few words at the last moment, and the meeting ended hastily.

"Is this the end of the discussion?"

Looking at the people leaving, Li Yifu looked confused.

Who was the concubine? When did she act? How did she infiltrate the Eastern Palace?

We didn't talk about anything!

Li Yifu soon realized that Changsun Wuji, Chu Suiliang and others must have discussed the specific plan in private.

"Sinister old dog, actually discussing matters behind the back of Prince Jin!"

Thinking of this, Li Yifu's face became a little gloomy.

Just as he turned around and was about to leave the Prince of Jin's Mansion, Li Zhi suddenly called him.

"Yifu."

Li Yifu quickly turned around and asked with a smile on his face, "Your Highness, what do you want me to do?"

Li Zhi waved at him, motioning him to come closer.

When Li Yifu, with a fawning look on his face, came up to him, Li Zhi gave him instructions.

"This prince will start pretending to be sick the day after tomorrow, and Mei Niang will come to Prince Jin's mansion on the third day after this prince pretends to be sick."

"Go to Qujiang Pond tomorrow and make arrangements. Mei Niang loves poetry and songs, so remember to prepare some for the ship."

Hearing Li Zhi's words, Li Yifu's expression changed.

He quickly responded, "Don't worry, Your Highness. I will do my best to make things perfect."

"Yes." Li Zhi nodded, then waved his hand and said, "It's getting late now, you should go back first."

...

two days later

A meeting of hundreds of officials.

When everyone saw that Li Zhi did not attend the court, they all showed puzzled expressions on their faces.

Even the staff of Prince Jin's Mansion looked confused.

At this moment, Xiao Deyan, the tutor of Prince Jin's Mansion, came out and made a speech.

"Your Highness, the Prince of Jin is unwell and will not be able to attend court these days."
