Chapter 33: Arrogant Du Tian

  Li Yunfei was very depressed, originally he had just become a prince with great difficulty, but today he was forced to go to school to learn, it was really a bit sad? Li Yunfei reluctantly walked towards the school, he still didn't know that his biggest opponent was step by step approaching him, and now he was having a headache over this learning!

  "Ah! It's Qing Shu brother! What a coincidence!" Li Yunfei arrived outside the school, looking at the ancient and fragrant school building with a hint of curiosity. This kind of situation had only been seen on TV before, but he didn't expect to run into Li Qing Shu, who had gone shopping with him last time, as soon as he entered. He immediately stuck up to him, having no choice since he only knew Li Qing Shu here!

  "It's actually Cloud Flying Brother, what brings you here?" Li Qing Shu was also very surprised to see Li Yun Fei here. The last time they were together was still fresh in his memory, because he had never received such a big shock before!

  "Really! I thought there was no acquaintance here? Didn't expect to see you!" Li Yunfei said with a smile, after all, having an acquaintance here makes things easier, right?

  "Hum! Who are you? Quickly take your hands off Qing Shu, or I won't be polite to you!" Those who can come here to study are all the children of princes and high-ranking officials, typical second-generation officials, each one not yielding to anyone. Very few people know Li Qing Shu's identity, unfortunately he is just one of them.

  "Who are you? Why should I let go, Qing Shu brothers, is that what you say?" Li Yunfei didn't even glance at the other person, he really didn't need to be afraid of anything here, because no one had a higher official rank than him. As the majestic Prince Wang, if he was intimidated by an official's second-generation descendant, wouldn't that become a joke in the imperial court?! So Li Yunfei stood his ground, staring at the person in front of him, don't think that just because you have a strong backing, I am even more superior to you!

  "Hum! Doesn't even recognize me? Truly ignorant, I am Du Guo Gong's second son, Du Tian! How about it? Scared now?" Du Tian looked down at Li Yunfei with an air of superiority. As for Du Tian's words, Li Yunfei directly chose to ignore them. Who would have thought that Du Tian was one of the main culprits in the future Crown Prince case, dragging his own brother to death and disgracing the good name of Du Ru Hui, the Duke of Lei?

  Du He (died 643), son of Du Ruhui, a prominent minister in the early Tang Dynasty. He married Princess Chengyang, the sixteenth daughter of Emperor Taizong of Tang, and became a imperial son-in-law with the title of Fuma Dujun. He served as Shangchufengyu and was enfeoffed as Duke of Xiangyang Commandery.

  In the 17th year of the Zhenguan era (643), Du He, along with Li Yuanchang, Zhao Jie, and Li Anren, advised Crown Prince Li Chengqian to stage a military coup. Du He said to the crown prince: "There is an abnormality in the celestial phenomena, we should quickly take action to respond to it. Your Highness only needs to claim that you are seriously ill, and the emperor will definitely come to visit you in person. We can achieve our goal through this means." However, Wei Zheng reported the crown prince's plot to rebel, and Du He, Hou Junji, Li Anren, and others were beheaded for their crime of plotting rebellion. The princess was remarried to Xue Chao.

  Du Ruhui's eldest son, Du Gou, was originally the governor of Cizhou. Due to his younger brother's case, he was also demoted to Lingnan and died in a remote area. It is unknown whether Li Shimin, in his later years, was so heartbroken by the rebellion of his three sons that he no longer cared about the descendants of this meritorious official.

  This is the life story of Du Yan, and Du Ruhui should have died in the fourth year of Zhenguan. Now it's the tenth year of Zhenguan, which means that Du Yan just inherited the honor from his ancestors and was taken care of by Li Shimin. His eccentric personality was probably nurtured this way too. A child without a father is indeed pitiful!

  I don't know if my emperor father ever thought that one day he would kill the child of this meritorious minister. Li Yunfei looked at him with some pity, but later died and was given a big green hat, yet still showing off in front of me, truly not knowing how to restrain himself!

  "Oh? So you're the second son of Duke Le, how rare! But what's the point of that? Are you only capable of using your father's reputation to intimidate people? Moreover, there are several seniors here whose reputations are lower than your father's. Don't bark randomly here, it will only make me look down on you more. You're just a guy who knows how to tarnish his elders' names!" Li Yunfei looked down on this kind of person the most, having no ability whatsoever but coming out to shout and act like he was the boss. He couldn't be bothered with people like that!

  "Ah!? Yunfei, aren't you being a bit too harsh?! After all, he's the son of the Duke, this might cause some trouble?" Li Qing also shot Du Tian a disgusted glance, this person was notorious for being a playboy, relying on his family background to bully the weak.

  However, he still has his power, and the older generation also turns a blind eye to him because of Du Ruhui's sake, which makes Du Yan even more unscrupulous. Li Qing had been harassed by him many times before, and she was also helpless against him. Today, Li Yunfei offended him, but Li Qing is worried that Li Yunfei will suffer a loss. Until now, Li Qing still doesn't know that Li Yunfei is the Qin King, and he hasn't inquired deeply into this matter either. Everyone has their own secrets, don't they? And isn't it the same with herself?

  Just saying that the Du Ke in front of him is slightly better than Liang Guo Gong Fang Xuanling's second son, Fang Yiai. Li Yunfei took a look at Du Ke and actually, in terms of appearance, Du Ke can be considered a talented person, but compared to Li Yunfei, it's like the difference between clouds and mud. As for Du Ke, Li Yunfei didn't want to bother with him, if he dies, then so be it! Anyway, it has nothing to do with himself, but if he provokes his own people, then let him regret it!

  Du Yan was born with a national character face, his face was like a crown jade, his eyebrows were like a broom, his eyes were like a phoenix, and his nose was still quite straight. Overall, he was still a handsome guy, but the subtle evil aura emanating from between his eyebrows made people feel very uncomfortable. Li Yunfei couldn't understand why Emperor Taizong of Tang would later marry his precious daughter to this kind of person? Was it just because this man was the son of one of his meritorious officials?

  "Good boy, you're quite something! Now the master is here, I won't say anything to you! Be more careful in the future!" Du Tian saw that many people were looking at him with mocking expressions, and his face immediately fell. However, he was also unsure of Li Yunfei's identity, after all, this was the imperial capital, and even a brick thrown randomly might hit someone from the royal family, so he had to be cautious! But if he just left like that, he would definitely lose face, so he threw down a harsh sentence before retreating with a sullen expression.

  "Huh!..." Many people who didn't care about Du Tian's identity couldn't help but sneer, they had always looked down on his usual behavior, but because of his status, no one dared to say anything. Now that they had the chance to mock him, how could they let it go? To be honest, Du Tian was really unpopular, and only a few close friends were somewhat decent, including Wang Fangyi who wore a green hat, and some like-minded people, unfortunately, none of them were here now.

  So overall, Du Tian is now a lone force, seeing Li Yunfei who doesn't even give him a glance chatting happily with Li Qingyu, completely disregarding himself. This truly infuriates him, usually he's the one ignoring others, but has never been ignored by someone else before!
