Traveling through Du He, Li Chengqian's rebellion begins

Chapter 970: The prophecy of rebellion

Ever since the eldest brother followed the King of Wei to flee to Japan, the spies under their command have not been used.

If these spies fail to achieve any success, they will not receive any reward.

Some time ago, the leader of the spies under her command wrote to her, saying that many of her brothers were struggling to make ends meet at home and hoped to find something to do.

Now that the master wants to use this spy, the people under his command are also happy.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and my husband are both financially strong and generous. They will certainly not treat their subordinates unfairly.

Du He said softly, "Yushan, have the spy leader go find Pei Xingjian. Pei Xingjian will take care of all the money, food, and weapons."

He doesn't need to do such a small thing himself.

"Yes." Yin Yushan nodded. She bit her lower lip and said, "My dear husband, you haven't come to favor me for two consecutive days. Will you stay tonight?"

Well...

Du He couldn't help but cover his waist with his hands.

Seeing the charming Yin Yushan, he couldn't help but say, "Serve me in the bed."

"My dear husband, I will take off your armor for you."

As Yin Yushan's shy voice fell, a burst of joy soon came from the bedroom.

...

In the next few days, as the Ministry of Revenue and the Three Departments conducted strict investigations into the Han, Liu, and Yu families, the power of the Guanlong Group became increasingly impatient.

Duke Zhao's Mansion.

In the lobby.

Yu Zhining, Liu Shi and Han Yuan, with ashen faces, spoke to Changsun Wuji in an anxious tone.

"Duke Zhao, 30 members of our family have been arrested. If this continues, our Liu family will be doomed sooner or later!"

"All those in our Han family who are still in office, as well as those who have just been dismissed by the court, are being investigated. So far, 15 people have been arrested, and the Ministry of Revenue and the Three Departments have not stopped!"

"Our Liu family is in a difficult situation too. Three out of ten of our family's sons of officials have been arrested. Duke Zhao, please come up with a solution!"

"Now, besides the people from the Ministry of Revenue and the Three Departments, people from other aristocratic families are also eyeing us covetously. If we don't fight back, our family will suffer heavy losses!"

A few days ago, they naively believed that with Liu Lan's warning to the prince and Du He, Du He would definitely not dare to risk the wrath of the world and fight them to the death.

I never expected that Du He would be so brave!

And the retaliation came so swiftly.

Yu Zhining continued, "Duke Zhao, would you like to go to Cuiwei Palace and report this matter to His Majesty?"

"If Du He keeps doing this, the world will be in chaos sooner or later!"

On the main seat.

Changsun Wuji's face was as gloomy as water, and it was obvious that he was also angry about Du He's destruction of the balance.

They were a group of people who followed the rules, but now they were faced with Du He, a lawless young man, and he really didn't know how to deal with Du He.

Using a trick to assassinate Du He obviously won't work.

If Du He was assassinated, even if it was not their people who did it, His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would vent their anger on them.

Besides, the prince had already sent 50 personal guards to protect Du He, so their death squads could not take action.

There was silence for a long time.

Zhang Sun Wuji shook his head. "It is His Majesty's will to rectify the Ministry of Revenue and investigate corrupt officials. It is useless for me to go to Cuiwei Palace to find His Majesty."

"The only solution now is to let Liu Lan continue to get the spies from the Eastern Palace!"

The officials from the three families who have been arrested have concrete evidence in the hands of the Dali Temple, the Censorate and the Ministry of Justice, and no one can save them.

They had wanted to use this trick against the people in the Eastern Palace before, but they just couldn't find the corresponding evidence.

Especially the three people, Cui Shenji, the Imperial Censor, Xiao Kai, the Doctor of the Ministry of Justice, and Wang Jingzhi, the Secretary of the Ministry of Agriculture. Not only did they not embezzle the court's money, they also used a lot of money to subsidize the officials of their departments.

Can such a person be touched?

Hearing that Changsun Wuji was going to continue using Liu Lan as a chess piece, Yu Zhining, Liu Shi and Han Yuan immediately nodded.

"Let Liu Lan make things worse!"

"We just don't believe that the Crown Prince and Du He would dare to continue to fight us!"

"Hit the snake at its most vulnerable part, Duke Zhao, that's a brilliant move!"

After several old foxes thought of ways to deal with Du He, they all showed sinister sneers on their faces.

...

Two days later.

Liu Lan, wearing armor and holding a spear, would lead his men into the East Palace's spy camp from time to time to investigate, making the East Palace's spies unable to do anything.

Moreover, the daring Liu Lan, relying on the support of Guanlong Group behind him, even set his sights on the bad guys in Wannian County.

These bad guys are elite spies of the Eastern Palace and officials of the imperial court. They will not tolerate Liu Lan.

The two gangs started with verbal conflicts, and finally broke out into violent physical conflicts.

What puzzled all the officials was that no matter how big the incident became, neither the prince nor Du He responded.

at the same time.

Under Du He's instructions, people from the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Justice, the Censorate and the Supreme Court became even more frantic in arresting officials from the Han, Liu and Yu families.

Even when Liu Lan attacked the Bad People, Cui Shenji pulled out Changsun Wuji's nephew Changsun Xiang.

Zhang Sunxiang, who served as the Deputy Director of the Ministry of Personnel, accepted a large amount of bribes and allowed many people from Guanlong families to serve as officials in local areas.

This act of selling official positions and titles was publicly spoken out by Li Chengqian at the court meeting.

Since Chang Sunxiang was arrested, Liu Lan's behavior has become more and more rampant.

He even sent soldiers to stay outside the three wineries in the East Palace, and as soon as they heard any sound of training from inside, they would immediately knock on the door to investigate.

In this fierce confrontation, Du He became more and more low-key.

Princess Chengyang's Mansion.

In the side hall.

Pei Xingjian excitedly reported: "Duke Han, I have found evidence that Liu Lan intended to rebel!"

Is this guy really plotting rebellion?

No wonder he is so bold and acts even more arrogantly than him.

Liu Lan has been acting up these days, making Li Chengqian so angry that he wants to send his assassins to kill him.

Du He asked softly, "Shou Yue, what exactly did Liu Lan do?"

Pei Xingjian bowed and said, "In the 16th year of the Zhenguan reign, when Liu Lan was serving as the governor of Fengzhou, Xu Xuan, a native of Changsha, told Liu Lan a prophecy of great treason."

"Those who have lived for many years in the world all say that General Liu is the ruler of the world!"

"Liu Lan not only spread this prophecy, but also spent a large sum of money to bribe his officials and soldiers."

There was a pause.

He went on to say, "Liu Lan's son, Liu Zhao, also said in front of his subordinates, 'The prophecy says that the emperor will emerge from the north of the sea, so our family lives in the North Sea!'"

"I've already found a few witnesses, and we can take action against Liu Lan tomorrow!"

Good guy!

Liu Lan is really brave.

A small governor of Fengzhou had the ambition to become emperor. His courage is commendable!

Since there are witnesses, Liu Lan will definitely not survive.

Du He smiled and said, "Shou Yue, you need to inform Cui Shenji and General Xin Mao in advance and have them attack Liu Lan together."

"promise!"

Pei Xingjian responded with a serious expression.

...

Cuiwei Palace.

In the main hall.

Li Shimin sat high in the first seat. He looked at Li Ji on the left side of the hall with a faint smile on his face.
