Traveling through Du He, Li Chengqian's rebellion begins

As Changsun Wuji finished speaking, the side hall suddenly fell into deathly silence.

Although they were in the same boat with Changsun Wuji, they still felt horrified by his ruthlessness.

So heartless!

We were clearly people who fought side by side with each other, but now you just abandon us.

If the Sanyuan Han family rebellion is not effective this time and Your Majesty still wants to punish them, will Changsun Wuji also abandon them?

Thinking of this result, they became even more anxious.

After a long time.

Yu Zhining asked in a complicated tone, "Duke Zhao, are we going to abandon the Sanyuan Han family?"

"Their current situation is more difficult than any of ours. If we do this, will it push them into the abyss?"

Although the Sanyuan Han family's power is not too strong, it is also a member of their Guanlong forces.

Unexpectedly, at this most critical moment, Duke Zhao did not help Han from the dire straits, but instead chose to push her out as a scapegoat.

How is this behavior of kicking someone when they are down different from that of a villain?

After a while.

Liu Shi also looked troubled and asked, "Duke Zhao, besides plotting against the Han family, don't we have any other options?"

"After all, the Sanyuan Han family has sent Han Yunu to assist us. What we are doing is not gentlemanly!"

Sanyuan Han had received the most severe punishment from the court, which had seriously shaken the foundation of his family. He really couldn't bear it.

Yuwen Jie's face was solemn, and he didn't say anything this time.

After Zhining and Liu Shi finished speaking, Changsun Wuji slowly spoke.

"Everyone, the Sanyuan Han family is ruined."

"For the next five years, no one from their family can serve as an official in the imperial court. If the crown prince ascends the throne, do you think he will still employ officials from the Han family?"

Hearing what Changsun Wuji said, everyone nodded in agreement.

After the prince ascends the throne, not to mention the members of the Sanyuan Han family, all of them will probably be suppressed.

There was a pause.

Zhang Sun Wuji said softly, "During the Mid-Autumn Poetry Festival in the 17th year of the Zhenguan reign, the Crown Prince recruited hundreds of talented and learned scholars, and he also sent these people to the local counties for training."

"Once the Crown Prince ascends the throne, these people will be put to use!"

"By that time, it will be much more difficult for our people to enter officialdom!"

Those young scholars will not affect those people in high positions, but they will seriously affect the children of their families who have just entered officialdom.

The younger generation can't continue the family business. After these old guys die, won't the family gradually decline?

"Suck~"

Thinking of the large group of scholars trained by the prince, Yu Zhining, Yuwen Jie and Liu Shi took a deep breath.

Over the years, they have been thinking about pushing Li Zhi to the throne, and keeping an eye on Du He, Su Dingfang, Xue Rengui and others, but they have forgotten the large group of scholars under the command of the prince.

This group of talented scholars are the biggest rivals of their family's children!

Yu Zhining said with an unpleasant expression, "Duke Zhao, what are your plans?"

Liu Shi and Yuwen Jie also spoke in agreement.

They compromised!

I would rather die than let my friend die. In order to protect my family, I can only use the Sanyuan Han family as scapegoats.

Zhang Sun Wuji said in a deep voice, "The Ministry of Revenue's Langzhong Feng Yi, the Dali Temple's Deputy Minister Bi Zhengyi, the Ministry of Justice's Langzhong Wang Huaike, the Taiyuan Shiyushi Zhang Lun, and others are in Sanyuan County."

“Let’s start from here!”

No way!

Is Changsun Wuji going to take action against the people from the Three Departments?

When the three of them heard what Changsun Wuji said, bad thoughts suddenly emerged in their minds.

Changsun Wuji glanced at them and said in a cold voice.

"Send assassins to kill Feng Yi and the people from the Three Divisions, and then put the blame on the Sanyuan Han family!"

"By then, even if the Han family doesn't rebel, they will!"

Boom!

Changsun Wuji's proposal was like a thunderclap exploding in their hearts.

Murdering several fifth-rank imperial officials is no small matter!

The severity of this behavior is second only to rebellion.

Yu Zhining asked worriedly, "Duke Zhao, will we completely anger His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

They are now being targeted by His Majesty. If His Majesty gets to know about this, how will they survive?

Zhang Sun Wuji sneered, "What does it have to do with us if the Sanyuan Han family takes action?"

"If His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are angry, they will vent their anger on the Sanyuan Han family."

There was a pause.

He said coldly, "Everyone, we don't have much time left. We can't be soft-hearted any longer!"

There was silence for a long time.

Yu Zhining, Liu Shi and Yuwen Jie said in unison.

"That's it!"

...

In the next few days, under the full efforts of the three divisions, people from the Han, Liu, and Yu families were arrested every one or two days.

However, Zhangsun Wuji, Yu Zhining, Liu Shi and others were indifferent to this and worked diligently on government affairs every day.

The court once again fell into a strange calm.

But all the civil and military officials had a premonition that something big would happen in the near future.

Now that the Guanlong forces are being suppressed so harshly by Du He, if these people don't fight back, they will have no place in the court in the future.

Household Department.

In the office.

Just when the people from the three courts were making crazy moves, he, the judicial inspector, was left with nothing to do.

In order to regulate the financial expenditure of the state and county governments and regulate tax revenue, Du He finally came up with a solution after several days of thinking.

Financial statements!

At the end of the year, people from each department must prepare a financial budget for the next year in advance, and then the Ministry of Revenue will approve funds based on their budget.

At the end of the second year, each department needs to summarize the financial settlement, and it will be clear at a glance what was done and how much money was spent in the year.

The benefit of financial statements is that they standardize the use of finances and facilitate audits by the Ministry of Finance.

Just then, there was a gentle knock on the door of the room.

"Knock knock knock."

"Minister Du, Duke Lu wants to see you!"

What?

Is Cheng Yaojin, the tough guy, back?

"What does this guy want from me?"

Du He muttered to himself, then shouted towards the gate.

"Please come in, Duke Lu."

After the footsteps outside the door faded away, Du He put the pen on the pen holder, and then took out a bottle of good wine from the wooden box at his feet.

These wines were brewed by spies from the Eastern Palace, and they taste stronger and mellower than the imperial wine.

More than ten breaths passed.

There was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the door. Cheng Yaojin originally wanted to kick the door open, but after thinking about it, he gently pushed the door open.

Du He is not an easy guy to deal with now, so it’s better not to offend him.

Du He smiled and said, "Uncle Cheng, please take a seat. I have prepared a bottle of fine wine to welcome you."

Why is this brat so nice to me?

He wouldn't put laxatives in the wine, would he?

Cheng Yaojin shook his head, shook off the messy thoughts in his mind, then strode over to sit next to Du He.

Looking at Cheng Yaojin with a worried look on his face, Du He smiled and poured him a glass of wine.

"Uncle Cheng, try this new wine."

"We drank and reminisced."
