It is easy to obtain the position of Zanzhi of Qiao County and go to Qiao County to suppress the bandits and suppress the rebellion. This kind of thing is easy to say, but it is so easy to operate. Although Chen Yingliang has many ways, he really wants to get this official position. Only Wenxi Pei's only way to go, because taking other ways is not only small, but it may also make Pei Ju and Pei Yun suspect that Chen Yingliang has colluded with other families, and teach Chen Yingliang to do it again in minutes.

So there was no way. Chen Yingliang could only take out precious gold the next day, go to the Jinka to get a set of four gold treasures of study, and then take this gift to Wubenfang to pay homage to his distant uncle Pei Ju, and follow the normal official routine to go to the position. But unfortunately, in fact, the busy schedule of Pei Ju, the Prime Minister of the State Council of the Sui Dynasty, is far from what Chen Yingliang can imagine. Even Chen Yingliang is considered Pei Ju's distant nephew. When he came to his house to pay a visit, he had to wait two days before he had the chance to see Pei Ju in the order of number. Chen Yingliang, who knew that he had a bad relationship with Pei Ju, did not dare to force himself to go to the line. He could only queue up honestly, go home and wait for two days before he could take the chance.

He returned home with regret. The next morning, Chen Yingliang once again came to the Imperial City to work in a depressed manner, continuing to work on duty at the East Palace of the Imperial City. Because the job was too boring, Chen Yingliang was always listless in his post and could not be energetic. He also took off his post several times to relax and be lazy. He fully interpreted the role of a thief in his salary and set an example for the later officialdom.

Chen Yingliang's lazy attitude is already commonplace. Because Pei Xin, the right inner command team is not surprised, at most, the other people in the right inner command team only vent their dissatisfaction in their stomachs and have no courage to show it in front of Chen Yingliang. But if you walk too much at night, you will always encounter ghosts. On this day, retribution finally came - just as Chen Yingliang was yawning lazily on the railings of the steps, a Sui official who had just come out of the Eastern Palace saw Chen Yingliang's lazy behavior, and strode to Chen Yingliang angrily and asked, "What are you just now? Why are you leaning on the railing? What is this?"

After calling out unlucky, Chen Yingliang first looked at the person in front of him carefully and found that he was nearly forty years old, wearing a dark-scarlet official dress representing the fourth rank. He seemed to have seen him somewhere. Then he quickly bowed his head and apologized: "Shangguan is sorry, and I am a little tired and distracted, so I act rudely. Please forgive me.

It was a trivial matter, but the fourth-rank official refused to give in and continued to say, "Tired? What kind of dirty work are you tired of? How tired can you be on duty? You have a face to say you are distracted. Do you know where this place is? What if the imperial city guards in the imperial city of the Great Sui Dynasty are distracted like you, and suddenly an assassin comes?"

When he encountered such a superior who was so picky about his bones, Chen Yingliang had no other way except to secretly call him too unlucky. He could only continue to whisper and ask for forgiveness in a low voice, saying that he would never dare to do this next time. He said a lot of words to apologize, and the fourth-rank official left angrily. Chen Yingliang cursed a few swear words at his back, and then continued to be lazy when he should be lazy. After all, Chen Yingliang didn't have to worry about such trivial matters that would affect his career and future.

Things seemed to be as simple as Chen Yingliang imagined. I don’t know how much time passed. The boss Pei Xin suddenly hurried to Chen Yingliang, tried to lower his voice, and asked Chen Yingliang on the face: "Why have you offended Xiao Guojiu?"

"Uncle Xiao?" Chen Yingliang was stunned and replied, "I haven't offended him? I haven't even seen him, how could I provoke him?"

"I'm not offended? Then why did he send someone to check your duty record and assessment status just now? He even clicked your name directly?" Pei Xin asked.

"What?" Chen Yingliang's face changed, and then suddenly thought of a possibility and blurted out: "Oh, is it that the person I was Xiao Guojiu?"

Pei Xin hurriedly asked what had happened just now, and Chen Yingliang truthfully confessed to the crime of being scolded by a fourth-rank official. As a result, Pei Xin complained when he heard this, "I'm trouble, it must be him. Xiao Guojiu's current official position is the Minister of the Inner History, who is the fourth-rank nephew. You are in trouble this time, even if I want to help you."

Chen Yingliang also knew that he was in trouble, because he had only been in office for half a month, and had been off for more than four days. The absenteeism rate was so high that he could definitely rank first in Daxing Imperial City. If Xiao Guojiu reported this to the court, he would have to bear some Yuzhi. But as a time traveler, Chen Yingliang still had a little luck in this and comforted himself: "Fortunately, this is just a small matter. Xiao Guojiu and I have no grudges, so things should not be too big."

"Nephew, don't be too happy too early." Pei Xin taught a lesson without hesitation: "If Xiao Guogong deliberately messes with you, just relying on your duty record in the past few days, you can lose your post and dismiss your post. I will be implicated if I can't bear it."

"It's not that serious, right?" Chen Yingliang was a little stunned.

"It's so serious." Pei Xin's face looked very bad, and he lowered his voice and whispered: "For example, Li Zixiong, who was captured alive by you, is more than such a big deal. When he was the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, he said something rude and reckless in front of the Silla envoy, and was grabbed by the censor. A memorial of impeachment was stabbed to the saint. He was the Minister of Civil Affairs and immediately fell into the ground as the Minister of Civil Affairs, and his official hat was directly removed from his official position and demoted to a civilian."

Chen Yingliang, who is currently working on a new official position, turned pale, and Pei Xin became more and more angry as he spoke, and whispered: "It's not my uncle who said you, you often take leave, just forget it. I'll cover it up for you and no one will pay attention. Why are you lazy and lazy when you are on the job? Want to cause trouble yourself? Although the Eastern Palace is not as strict as the Great Palace, officials often come and go. You may see your behavior lazy and rude at any time. If you continue like this, sooner or later, someone will be impeached one day. This is the imperial city, not the vegetable market. Please pay attention to me.

Pei Xin was trained like a child and was so bloody that Chen Yingliang, who was extremely unlucky, could only apologize repeatedly. Fortunately, Pei Xin knew that regret was useless, so he almost let go of Chen Yingliang, who was also a distant nephew, warned Chen Yingliang to be careful of being a servant. But before leaving, Pei Xin threw down another harsh words, "Please ask God and Buddha to bless Xiao Guojiu, don't make this matter in front of the saint, otherwise, if the saint blames him, no one will be able to protect you."

"I hope God will bless you, uncle Xiao Guo, I have never offended you. You can't be so chasing me like this, right?"

With this lucky thought, Chen Yingliang finally began to stand on duty seriously. At the same time, Chen Yingliang was inevitably a little strange. Why did Xiao Guojiu think of investigating his duty records after he found out that he was lazy on duty? However, Chen Yingliang soon remembered that he, a seventeen-year-old right deputy, was in charge of a large group of Qianniu, who was thirty or forty years old, and he quickly guessed the reason. After all, Chen Yingliang himself had many things like taking advantage of the situation and rumoring to report small reports.

It's too late to start to be on duty now. Shen Shi was about to arrive. When Chen Yingliang was about to get off work, a team of imperial guards from the palace suddenly came to Chen Yingliang and sent a verbal order to ask Chen Yingliang to go to the palace to see the enemy immediately. Chen Yingliang, who had just been taken by someone, was shocked but helpless. He could only follow the team of imperial guards to see the enemy at the palace, and the team of imperial guards searched for his weapons. Pei Xin saw this scene from afar, of course, was shocked, but he was also helpless. He had to rush to the imperial city Shangshu Province immediately after the task was made to report to Pei Ju.

When Chen Yingliang was quite surprised, the imperial army escorted him to the imperial garden and finally took him to the steps of a pavilion. Emperor Yang of Sui, wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, was sitting in the pavilion drinking. In addition to Xiao Guojiu who had just scolded Chen Yingliang, there were also a large group of beauties in dressage standing or sitting. Chen Yingliang estimated that it must have been cold for several days and the weather suddenly cleared again. The winter sun was a treasure, so Emperor Yang of Sui brought his wife to the imperial garden to drink and have a party.

He honestly bowed to Emperor Yang of Sui and greeted Emperor Yang of Sui. Emperor Yang of Sui unexpectedly issued an edict: "Get up and answer, stand up straight, and lift your face."

He stood up in a daze, raised his head more honestly, revealing his face that he could barely see. Chen Yingliang then found that there was a beautiful young woman wearing a phoenix crown sitting next to Emperor Yang of Sui. He guessed that she must be the wife of Emperor Yang of Sui. As a result, Emperor Yang of Sui turned to his wife and smiled: "Empress, all beloved concubines, aren't you clamoring to see the legendary little Chen Qingzhi with your own eyes? He is just there, hurry up and take a closer look."

It was not so good to be stared at by countless beauties. Chen Yingliang, who was used to seeing the big scene, was embarrassed and stage frightened once. He was seen by a large group of concubines of Emperor Yang of Sui, and his face turned red. As a result, he naturally attracted a series of kind ridicule and a gentle muttering sound. He could vaguely hear such a young talk.

Fortunately, Emperor Yang of Sui quickly spoke, "Chen Yingliang, you kid are really good at making trouble. He was just turbulent because of Bai Diezi's incident a few days ago. Why did he get into Xiao Guojiu again today? He made him furious and sued me directly?"

He secretly glanced at Xiao Guojiu next to Emperor Yang of Sui. Seeing that his face was very ugly, he seemed to be dissatisfied with his dereliction of duty, Chen Yingliang honestly admitted his guilt and said, "Report to the wise, the empress is guilty. When I stand guard and guard the Eastern Palace, I am disobedient and lose my dignity. I am guilty. Please punish me."

"It's not just these?" Emperor Yang of Sui said with a smile: "Uncle Xiao also found out that it seems that you have served for 16 days and have four and a half days of leave. All the officials of the Sui Dynasty are working as much as you. Is the court still governed?"

"The emperor forgives his crime. He is too farewell to me, but there are reasons for it." Chen Yingliang explained, "The emperor took his leave, one day because he went to prepare tools to make cotton coats, one day when he went to see off his comrades who lived and died together. He was sick for a long time. The other two days because he lived in the house rewarded by the emperor. He had too many things at home, and his only family member had no relatives or relatives. His only uncle was injured again. He took his leave and went back to do housework. Please forgive him."

"The reason is sufficient." Emperor Yang of Sui sneered and said, "Okay, even if you have sufficient reasons for taking leave, I will not pursue it, but why do you still have to be distracted when you are on duty? You are only seventeen years old, and I will grant you the right deputy commander of the fifth-rank prince. If you are so kind to you, you will repay my holy grace in this way.

Hearing that Emperor Yang of Sui was indeed a little dissatisfied, Chen Yingliang quickly knelt down on one knee and said tremblingly: "Your Majesty's kindness is torn to pieces, and it is difficult for me to repay Your Majesty's kindness to be broken. I am so confused that I am so rude to you... It's a reason for this. Please forgive me."

"What's the reason?" Emperor Yang of Sui was a little dissatisfied with Chen Yingliang's quibbling, and snorted again: "I can't tell the right reason. You, the right deputy commander of the prince, don't need to be the one who is here, go home just now."

Xiao Guojiu's face, which had been stern, finally had a look of expression, showing a smug smile, and the sweat on Chen Yingliang's forehead came out. Fortunately, because of Pei Xin's news and warning, Chen Yingliang was already wary of this possibility on the way to the Imperial Garden, and prepared an excuse to deal with it. He replied tremblingly: "Report to Your Majesty, I was thinking about a poem that showed my heart at that time, so I accidentally got distracted in front of Xiao Guojiu, please forgive me."

Of course, Chen Yingliang said this without any target. Because when Su Shichang impeached Chen Yingliang last time, he accidentally involved Yu Shiji, the political enemy of Wenxi, the Pei family in the court. Afterwards, Pei Hongce had roughly introduced Yu Shiji to Chen Yingliang. Therefore, Chen Yingliang knew that Yu Shiji had gained the appreciation of Emperor Yang of Sui by his talent in poetry, and then he realized that Emperor Yang of Sui was very interested in poetry and wrote a good poem "Drinking Horses in the Great Wall Cave" - ​​in fact, it can also be regarded as a heroic and grand masterpiece for eternal periods.

Just like what Chen Yingliang expected, after hearing Chen Yingliang's explanation, Emperor Yang of Sui became interested and asked: "Are you actually thinking about poetry? So have you made this poem that shows your heart?"

"Your Majesty, it has been done." Chen Yingliang nodded, then beat the snake and followed the stick, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, I have heard that Your Majesty is the largest poet and the greatest poet in the nine provinces of China since ancient times. So I dared to ask Your Majesty to correct my uncle's work. I wonder if it is possible?"

"Bold" Xiao Guojiu, who had seen Chen Yingliang disliked from the beginning, was furious and took the opportunity to say, "Bold Chen Yingliang, who are you? How dare you ask me to be a son to correct your poems for you? You are disrespectful and you should be punished."

"Uncle Xiao Guoguo, where did I offend you? Why did you hold me back?" Chen Yingliang complained in his heart.

Fortunately, Emperor Yang of Sui had a deep love for poetry, so he immediately waved his hand and smiled: "Uncle the country is angry, Chen Yingliang asked me to correct his poems. Although he was outspoken, he was not disrespectful. Besides, this kid is very talented in music. I am very satisfied with the poem "Loyalty for the Country". Now let's listen to his poems. Chen Yingliang, read your poems to me."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Chen Yingliang breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly put a gift on his face, saying respectfully: "Report to Your Majesty, in fact, this poem has been brewing for many days. As early as when Your Majesty personally named Wei Chen as the Marquis of Xuchang that day, Wei Chen had already started to brew this poem to express what he thoughts and wishes in his heart. It has only been initially completed today, but it is still clumsy and has many fallacies. Please forgive me."

"It really makes me feel good." Emperor Yang of Sui saw Chen Yingliang's trick at a glance and said with a smile: "Read it quickly and listen to it. I want to see what kind of poetry you have been brewing for so long.

"According to the order, the empress will be ugly." Chen Yingliang first thanked and humbled, then cleared his throat, and then chanted loudly:

"Xiao Zhu gradually became more and more proud of his time, and he was worried about the old alliance.

He called the jar and bowed to the guest, and waved his wings to sit and talk about war.

The clouds protect the teeth are full of flags, and the stars are full of swords.

It is not my desire to be a marquis, I hope Xu Ping is the one who is a marquis.”

After reading aloud, Chen Yingliang muttered in his heart again, "Qi Jiguang, General Qi, it's not that I deliberately wanted to plagiarize you, but that your poem is a hundred times stronger than any Tang and Song lyrics at this time. So, I'm sorry."

As soon as the poem "Loyal Minister" passed down through the ages came out, the smile on Emperor Yang of Sui's face suddenly solidified. Xiao Guojiu, who was always targeting Chen Yingliang, was also stunned. He knew that he would backfire or even backfire today. As expected, Emperor Yang of Sui was silent for a long time and said slowly: "Chen Aiqing, does this poem express your feelings?"

"Report to Your Majesty, this is the case." Chen Yingliang replied solemnly.

Emperor Yang of Sui was silent again. After a moment, Emperor Yang of Sui said calmly: "I have changed two words to you for your poem. The last sentence is not my desire to pounce on the marquis. I hope Qing Xuping, I have changed it to pounce on the marquis for you. I hope all directions are flat. Don't always look at the marquis of Qing Xu Qilu. You must take all the marquis of marquis from all directions to me."

"I am obeying Your Majesty's decree and will never forget it forever," Chen Yingliang replied loudly.

"Go back and be on duty." Emperor Yang of Sui said casually: "For the sake of your poem, I will not care about your distraction during your duty. Be careful when you are on duty. If you are caught, you will have any dereliction of duty. Even if I want to forgive you again, I will not find a reason to forgive you."

"I thank the priest for the kindness of God."

Chen Yingliang quickly thanked and bowed his head and said his back. However, when he stood up, Chen Yingliang suddenly realized that Yang Yuer, the goddess in his heart, was actually behind Emperor Yang of Sui, and was still poking his pretty face out from behind a concubine to peek at him. But this time, Chen Yingliang, who had already made a marriage contract again, was no longer so enthusiastic and turned around and left calmly, because Chen Yingliang knew very well that he and Yang Yuer were no longer possible. - At least, Chen Yingliang could not take Yang Yuer as his concubine, right?

"Is it a waste of talent when I left him in the imperial city?" Looking at Chen Yingliang's departure, Emperor Yang of Sui thought so in his heart, "It's not my desire to be a marquis, I hope Qing Xuping. This little guy clearly expressed his feelings in my mind, saying that he wanted to go to the battlefield of Qingxu Qilu to suppress the rebellion and thieves for me. Then when he arrived at the battlefield of Qingxu, if he could fight as beautiful as Yang Xuangan, I would save me a lot of trouble."

Looking at Chen Yingliang's departure, Xiao Guojiu also said viciously in his heart, "Boy, waiting for this is just the beginning."
