Traveling through Du He, Li Chengqian's rebellion begins

After the meeting.

Du He returned to the Ministry of Revenue and called the Minister of Revenue, Lu Chengqing, into his office.

"Minister Lu, intensify the investigation of officials from the Han, Liu, and Yu clans and bring them all under investigation."

"Since His Majesty has given us the Ministry of Revenue this opportunity, if we don't take advantage of it to crack down on the Guanlong Group, wouldn't we be betraying His Majesty's trust in us?"

Well...

Lu Chengqing's expression paused slightly.

The fact that Changsun Wuji personally committed the crime at the court meeting today shows that he has been angered.

Unexpectedly, Du He not only did not restrain himself, but also increased the intensity of the investigation. This move clearly showed that he was determined to fight the Guanlong Group to the end.

It's like walking on thin ice!

Lu Chengqing saluted and said, "Don't worry, Minister Du. I have already sent a doctor from the Ministry of Revenue to lead a team to conduct a personal investigation. I believe there will be a result in half a month."

The officials of the Ministry of Revenue were all promoted from local positions, and they were well aware of the methods of corruption, abuse of power, and extortion.

Now that His Majesty wants to reorganize the Ministry of Revenue, they naturally have to work hard.

"it is good!"

Du He nodded.

He then instructed, "Minister Lu, I'll leave the Ministry of Revenue's affairs to you to coordinate and arrange. If you have any questions, come to the East Palace to find me."

Lu Chengqing saluted and said, "Don't worry, Minister Du, I will arrange the affairs of each department."

Working for a superior like Du He has its pros and cons.

The advantage is that Du He is willing to delegate power, so he can give full play to his talents, unlike Fang Xuanling who likes to take control of all matters, big or small, and always meddle in trivial matters.

The downside is that Du He is too bold and would do anything to defeat his opponent. If it were Fang Xuanling, he would definitely not dare to confront the Guanlong Group head-on.

Perhaps it is because Du He is willing to do the dirty and tiring work that His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince trust him!

Then Du He said a few more words to him before he slowly headed towards the East Palace.

Mingde Hall.

Li Chengqian, who had been waiting for a long time, saw Du He walk in. He strode forward and asked in a low voice.

"Du He, have you made arrangements?"

There was a pause.

Li Chengqian said angrily, "Liu Lan, that fool who doesn't know how to live or die, I must destroy him!"

The fact that Liu Lan led his troops to capture hundreds of spies also fully exposed the shortcomings of the Eastern Palace spies.

The spies from the Eastern Palace are too weak!

However, facing hundreds of imperial guards, they couldn't even resist.

If the emperor wants to get rid of the spies in the Eastern Palace, as long as he sends two or three thousand imperial guards, he can probably easily capture thousands of Eastern Palace spies.

Du He said solemnly, "Your Highness, I have asked Pei Xingjian to investigate Liu Lan's crimes. If he can't find any, I will accuse him of several crimes."

"I believe it won't be long before there is good news."

Seeing that Du He had made arrangements, Li Chengqian's expression eased a lot.

He asked in a low voice: "Du He, who do you think is behind Liu Lan's actions?"

"Changsun Wuji."

"I also think it's him!"

When Li Chengqian saw that Du He's idea coincided with his, a smile immediately appeared on his face.

He listened to Qin Huaidao's analysis yesterday. The fool said that Liu Lan was Li Ke's man, then he said that she was Zhangsun Wuji's man, and then he said that she was his father's man.

After listening to Qin Huaidao's analysis, Li Chengqian almost lost his judgment.

Now after hearing what Du He said, he suddenly felt that his initial guess was correct, Liu Lan was Zhangsun Wuji's lackey.

Li Chengqian said in a deep voice, "Du He, our spies have been exposed to everyone. They have lost their effectiveness as a surprise attack."

"I think we need to raise a second team of spies and have them hide in the dark!"

He tossed and turned in bed yesterday, thinking about the spy's hiding.

After thinking for a long time, Li Chengqian still couldn't come up with a good solution.

After all, a huge group of thousands of people could not be hidden in the small city of Chang'an.

Du He smiled and said, "Your Highness, Yin Yushan has a group of spies under her command. They are capable of fighting in armor and with spears, numbering approximately 150."

"How about we equip these people with Mo Dao and armor and have them guard the perimeter of the residences of Zhangsun Wuji, Chu Suiliang, Yu Zhining, and others?"

If the second group of spies wants to hide their identity, the number of people must be small.

That small number of people could not deal with Li Shimin, but they could deal with Zhangsun Wuji, Chu Suiliang and others.

"Okay!" Li Chengqian nodded: "Let's do as you say!"

After solving all the problems, Li Chengqian felt a lot more relaxed.

He then went on to say something else: "Du He, the Emperor sent someone to deliver a handwritten letter last night, asking us to send Li Jue and Du Ping'an to Cuiwei Palace."

"The Emperor said Cuiwei Palace was too boring and he wanted to teach them both personally."

"The Emperor also said that he would send Li Jue and Du Ping'an home every five days, let them stay at home for three days, and then send them to Cuiwei Palace."

what?

Send Li Jue and Du Ping'an to Cuiwei Palace?

Du He asked doubtfully, "Your Highness, His Majesty, wouldn't you want to take Li Jue and Du Ping'an as hostages?"

Li Chengqian curled his lips and said, "Don't worry, Father wouldn't do anything to his own grandson. He simply wants to teach the next generation well."

The imperial edict his father wrote to him was very long, and regret was evident between the lines.

He felt that he had been busy with government affairs since he became emperor and had no time to educate his son well, which led to his son embarking on the path of rebellion and causing trouble for the concubines in the harem.

The emperor has a rare moment of free time now, and he wants to train Li Jue to be a wise and benevolent monarch, and Du Ping'an to be a good minister.

Think for a moment.

Du He smiled and said, "Since Your Majesty has this idea, Du Ping'an is really blessed."

Li Shimin, an emperor of all ages, was a top figure in both military and political affairs.

With his careful guidance, Du Ping'an, who is smarter, will definitely gain huge benefits.

"Ah."

Li Chengqian nodded slightly.

He is now also worried about Li Jue's education. The little fat boy is smart, but all his attention is spent on cooking delicious food.

What will happen if this continues?

If my father could get him back on track, I wouldn't have to worry so much about the future.

...

evening.

When Du He returned to the princess's mansion, he immediately told Li Yi the news that Li Shimin asked Du Ping'an to go to Cuiwei Palace.

Upon hearing the news, Li Yi was excited.

"My husband, since the emperor values Ping'an so much, let's send him to Cuiwei Palace."

"Anyway, Cuiwei Palace is not far away, and Ping'an will be back in a few days."

Li Yi didn't have so many thoughts. What could be wrong with his own biological father teaching his own biological son?

Moreover, the emperor's intention was very simple, which was to train Du Ping'an as an important official of Li Jue.

Even the descendants of other important officials could not enjoy this honor.

"Okay." Du He nodded.

night.

Du He went to Yin Yushan's bedroom and told her that he was going to use her spies.

Yin Yushan nodded and said, "My husband, I will give orders to my men tomorrow to monitor Li Zhi's staff."
