It is actually not easy to be a high-ranking official. On the day of taking office, I was busy until halfway through the second and second updates before going to bed. As soon as the fourth update arrived, Chen Sangliang had to crawl out of the bed, yawned with panda eyes and left Pei Hongce's mansion, who was temporarily staying, and followed his uncle.

When I went to the gate of the imperial city, I was waiting in line to prepare for court, and then I had to apologize to a large group of colleagues and subordinates to pretend to be grandson. Everyone had to bow down to the false, for fear that the etiquette would be inadequate and make people feel proud of themselves. In the end, I had to rule.

Follow Yuwen Shu in a regular manner, come to Hu'er and Feng Ang, and carefully enter the court to see him, for fear that the action would be unstandard, and the censor would be caught and impeached by a book - the right person who died in Chen Yingliang's hands

General Hou Wei Li Zixiong had suffered such a great loss.

I thought the morning court would have nothing to do, but I was thinking about how to handle the mountain of military affairs after the court was dispersed. Who would have thought about discussing some political affairs and was rescued from the Turkic camp by Chen Sangliang's subordinates.

Wei suddenly stepped out of the line, holding a jade scepter in his hand and said, "Report to Your Majesty, when the Turks were surrounded, Your Majesty issued an order to boost morale to promote all the soldiers who had made meritorious defense in the city, and directly promoted to sixth ranks and rewarded ten pieces of silk and satin.

He also issued an order that all those who have worked hard to kill the enemy will be rewarded according to the reward. The minister dared to think that the honor was too heavy, so he should consider it again and ask His Majesty to be kind."

Just as Su Wei finished speaking, come to Hu'er, Chen Yingliang and Yun Dingxing and other generals of the Sixteen Guards were already looking up like flying, and they all focused their eyes on Su Wei's face, their eyes were full of anger, and their hearts were also

Everyone scolded Su Wei for not being a good person, intentionally harming the soldiers and their generals, Chen Sangliang still cursed in his heart: "The old man forgot who saved you? If it weren't for those soldiers who sacrificed their lives and shed their blood to the court.

Working for life, you are still eating horse grass in the Turkic camp and are ungrateful to your point, and there are not many."

"Is Su Aiqing's words inappropriate?" Emperor Yang of Sui spoke and said hypocritically: "When Yanmen besieged the city, thanks to the brave soldiers fighting, I was able to protect my integrity and persisted until Chen Yingliang and other ministers led their troops to lead the army.

Come to help, work hard and make great contributions, how can I recover the promises I made at will?"

"Oh" Lai Hu'er and Feng Ang all changed their colors. It was immediately obvious from Emperor Yang of Sui's hypocritical tone that Su Wei's advice was already in line with Emperor Yang of Sui's appetite, and when he saw the general general's national military affairs again, he saw that the general's national military was still the same.

The general of the Zuo Yiwei, Yu Wen Shu, lowered his head and said nothing. Lai Huer, Feng Ang and others, who had been hanging out in the temple for many years, also understood in their hearts. They guessed that Yu Wen Shu had already known about it before and guessed that Su Wei's

The comments may be caused by Emperor Yang of Sui. It was a hint or even instructed by Emperor Yang of Sui. When the emperor wanted to break his promise, even Emperor Yang of Sui would have to find a scapegoat to take the blame, right?

Although he was only the second time he participated in the morning court and didn't know much about the situation in the court, when he heard Emperor Yang of Sui, Chen Sangliang, who had been a man for two lifetimes, immediately felt that the situation was very bad, and he quickly closed his mouth.

I dare not speak casually and interfere. As a result, Su Wei immediately said with confidence: "Your Majesty is worry-free. All the world is the king's land, the shores of the land, the king's ministers, the whole world is your people, all

The officials, military and civilians in the world love you. Now the country is in trouble and the treasury is in a hurry. In order to save expenses for Your Majesty and reduce the burden on the treasury, I think the soldiers of the Great Sui Dynasty will understand Your Majesty’s difficulties and voluntarily give up your due rewards.

”

"This..." Emperor Yang of Sui looked embarrassed, then turned to Yuwen Shu and asked, "Yuwenqing, you are the general of the Zuoyiwei, who is in charge of the world's military. What do you think about Su Aiqing's words?"

Although he is famous for flattering, Yuwen Shu's smile this time was a bit reluctant and said with a smile: "Report to Your Majesty, Su Xiang is very saying. I think the rewards I have made before are too heavy, so I need to

Reconsider it.”

Emperor Yang of Sui nodded, followed Yuwen Shu to the military officers and came to Hu'er, Feng Ang, Chen Sangliang and others were all worried, for fear that Emperor Yang of Sui would force him to express his opinion. Fortunately, Emperor Yang of Sui was too lazy to continue to go through the motions.

, and soon said: "Since all my dear friends should consider it again, then do it this way, Yuwen dear brothers, you will discuss the rewards with several generals of the Guardian government again, and report the results to me after the results.

Reward soldiers with new rewards.”

Yuwen Shu agreed tremblingly and respectfully accepted the order. Emperor Yang of Sui waved his hand and said, "If you have nothing to do, leave the court, and leave the court."

After saying that, Emperor Yang of Sui patted his butt and took the lead. All civil and military officials gave him a gift. As a result, Emperor Yang of Sui had just walked away, and the civil officials led by Pei Ju and Su Wei immediately escaped, poor Duke Xu

General Yuwen Shu was surrounded by a large group of military generals and looked at Yuwen Shu with different eyes. He was a high-ranking and powerful man, and still had anger on his face. Yuwen Shu was indescribable and could not say anything.

He could whisper, "Get out of the palace first, and talk outside the palace."

Surrounded by general Yiyu, walking out of the hall and leaving the palace, Yuwen Shu kept talking to Lai Huer in a low voice, and introduced to Lai Huer what happened on the shore of Ningbichi Lake last night. Before, Lai Huer was angry

Soon he looked desperate. At this moment, another eunuch came to Xuanzhe to summon Yuwen Shu to the palace to meet him. Yuwen Shuru, who was in a hurry, received a general amnesty, quickly explained a few words to Lai Hu'er, and then couldn't wait to follow the eunuch.

Lai Hu'er's face was gloomy and asked the generals to continue leaving the palace with him.

After leaving the palace city from Yingtian Gate, he led the military officers to a remote place away from the palace gate. Then, Lai Hu'er whispered to everyone: "There is no way to save it, I can only give in. You all go back and think about how to reduce the rewards.

Only then can we explain to the soldiers and draw up some provisions. When Yuwen Zhuguo takes time out, we will get together and discuss carefully."

Chen Yingliang, Yun Dingxing and Qu Tutong and other miserable people agreed in a low face. The most miserable one was still Chen Yingliang. When everyone dispersed, they came to Hu'er and called Chen Yingliang alone and whispered to Chen Sangliang.

He said: "Ying Liang, you have to worry more about this matter. Wang Shichong does not belong to our Sixteen Guards' Mansion. We are not convenient for us to tell him some things, you are the commander-in-chief of the King and his son-in-law. How can he explain it to him?

It's handed over to you. Remember, be sure to let him appease his soldiers and never let them cause trouble in the East Capital."

"You should do your best." Chen Yingliang agreed with a sad face.

"Another." Lai Hu'er whispered again: "Where is Pei Zuoxiang, you can also explore the wind and see how much money and grain the treasury can give to reward soldiers. We cannot save this matter, but we must also try our best to fight for the soldiers and soldiers.

A little reward.”

Chen Sangliang agreed again with a frown. Lai Hu'er, who has a pretty good character, patted Chen Yingliang on the shoulder and sighed: "I'm making things difficult for you. I just took office and encountered such a thing. However, you must also understand Yuwen and me.

It is difficult for us to have the difficulties of the Zhu Kingdom. In addition, in this battle of defense of Yanmen, 17,000 soldiers guarding the city were all elite guards of Yuwen Zhu Kingdom and me, so we are even more miserable."

Chen Sangliang lowered his head and sighed in his heart, "Yang Guang, Yang Guang, you really want to commit suicide by yourself. Such a thing can be done. Aren't you forcing the soldiers to stop working for you in the future? You are

Are you really not rich? In Luokou Warehouse next to Luoyang, you only need to take out 10% of the stored grain, which is enough to pay for the expenses of this Yanmen Battle.”

Lamenting that he returned to the General's Mansion of the Right Wu Guard located in the imperial city, Dugu Sheng and Huangfu Wuyi, who also participated in the morning dynasty, had already been waiting in the lobby. As soon as they met, they couldn't wait to ask Chen Yingliang about the specific situation, and Chen Sangliang's expression was

Even more mournful, he said, "Two seniors, forgive me. I don't know much about the situation now. I can only tell you when I have accurate news. To be safe, please keep this matter confidential and must not be spread out to avoid

Shake the morale of the army.”

Dugu Sheng and Huangfu Wuyi, who were about to be out of the world, nodded, their expressions were extremely depressed. Chen Sangliang said again: "Also, Duke Xu and Duke Rong have already said that this matter is irreversible.

We will try our best to reduce the rewards as much as possible. Let’s quickly discuss and see how to reduce expenses for the court?”

"Discussion? How to discuss?" Dugu Sheng said with a wry smile: "It has been natural since ancient times since we were in the army to eat food, kill the enemy and make meritorious service. We have reduced our rewards for no reason. It would be strange if the soldiers did not make trouble."

"How do I explain to the soldiers?" Huangfu Wuyi coughed and wailed, "Although I did not participate in this battle for the king, the Dongdu King Recruitment Army was organized by me as the General of the Right Martial Guard. This time, the Right Martial Guard

The casualties are already quite large, and if the rewards of soldiers are reduced, what are my faces to meet the soldiers?"

Chen Yingliang did not wail, but he whined even more miserably in his heart, "I am the worst in this battle in Yanmen. I am the commander of the entire army. The military achievements of all the soldiers who served the king were recorded and summarized.

Once the reward is reduced, no matter which army is serving the king, I will hate me. I happened to be so tall this time. It would be strange if those Lao Qiu Ba were not angry with me even more."

The wailing of wailing, Emperor Yang of Sui personally decided on the matter. Chen Yingliang and Dugu Sheng, who had no courage to be the Long Painting of Hai Rui, had no choice but to discuss how to reduce the rewards, because Emperor Yang of Sui had previously

Because of the promise of double rewards from the army of Kings, Chen Yingliang, Dugu Sheng and others quickly came up with a reduction plan and decided to try their best to win 80% of the rewards for the soldiers, and at least 50% of the normal rewards - that is, let the soldiers

I received the reward for daily war.

The plan for the reduction of military merit rewards has been decided, and no one can pass it. When things have come to this point, Chen Yingliang can only temporarily put the official duties of the Right Wu Guard and temporarily put the official duties to Dugu Sheng and Huangfu Wu.

Yi was appointed as the agent, and hurriedly left the General's Mansion and prepared to leave the city to go to the camp of Jiangdu Wangjun to pay homage to his father-in-law Wang Shichong. He secretly informed him of the news, so that Wang Shichong would be mentally prepared and to appease the soldiers in Jiangdu so as not to

The soldiers were dissatisfied with causing trouble, which made the situation uncontrollable.

The followers were still waiting outside the gate of the imperial city. Of course, Chen Yingliang continued to walk back to the city through Ruimen. As a result, when he just found his followers in front of the gate of the imperial city, two unexpected figures suddenly came to Chen Yingliang and even met.

Chen Yingliang bowed his head and knelt down. When Chen Yingliang looked at the person carefully, he was shocked and blurted out: "Brother Shimin, Brother Sichang, why are you?"

The visitor was Li Er and Chai Shao. The two rich young men in the past were out of their ordinary style this time. They all wore very simple coarse clothes, and both knelt on one knee in the cold wind of late autumn and winter, and they all returned. Some were trembling and seemed to be in a down-and-out manner. Seeing this scene, Chen Yingliang couldn't help but be even more surprised. He quickly came to support them with his own hands and asked in confusion: "Brother Shimin, Brother Sichang, what are you doing? You are not outsiders, why bother Do this great gift? Please get up quickly, please get up and say something.

Both Li Er and Chai Shao refused to stand up. Chai Shao's face was gloomy and he knelt in front of Chen Sangliang without saying a word. Li Er's eyes were filled with tears, and his expression was very similar to that of him after losing two brothers in history. He was so sad that he choked up and said to Chen Yingliang: "Brother Yingliang, I know that our Li family is sorry for you, and my father is even more sorry for you. I even say a thousand and ten thousand words, you will not forgive our Li family. But I still have to be shameless and beg you, please agree.”

"It's coming again." Chen Sangliang complained in his heart, and quickly changed his indifferent expression and interrupted: "Brother Shimin, if it's your father's business, then please don't want to speak out, your father's business is your father's business. It's the case of Qin, I have no right to intervene, nor have the courage to intervene, and I'm not willing to be involved in it."

"Brother." Li Er cried out and said in tears: "Are you so cruel? My father did something sorry for you, but this time, he also made great contributions to the court and you. , I dared to ask my brother to ask myself, if this battle for the king was not in Taiyuan, my father, and our Li family, could you win such a great victory and achieve such merit?"

"Whether your Li family has made contributions, the national law will be judged." Chen Yingliang, who had suffered a great loss, said this time that he refused to be fooled no matter what. He said with a stern face: "How should your father's crime be handled? It is like the law of the mountain country. The emperor, the emperor who was shining with wise candles, personally ruled that I was an outsider and would not participate in it again

"Brother, are you so cruel?" Li Er cried and hugged Chen Yingliang's legs directly - he looked pitiful like he had sucked Li Yuan after losing two brothers in history.

Li Er and Chai Shao made such a fuss. Of course, the officials and followers who were bored outside the imperial city had already surrounded Chen Yingliang and others. While watching the excitement with enthusiasm, Chen Sangliang whispered in a low voice. The situation was not good, so I quickly tried my best to get rid of Li Er and said with a stern face: "Brother Shimin, have you made enough trouble? I have already said that your father's affairs are the Qin case, and I am not an official of the Third Envoy Department. I have no power to be involved in this case. You ask me to save your father. I ask the wrong person and I still have official duties. Goodbye."

After saying that, Chen Yingliang rode on the war horse led by his follower and left. However, at this moment, Chai Shao, who had never spoken, suddenly spoke and shouted: "Stop it."

When Chen Yingliang subconsciously strangled his mount, he was surprised to see that Chai Shao flipped his right hand and actually showed a stone that he had picked up from unknown places. He raised it above his head, aimed the corner of the stone at his forehead, and shouted with a ferocious look on his face. "Chen Yingliang, the grudge between my father-in-law and you was all caused by me, and I was the one who forced you and my sister to break the engagement, and I was the one who beat you, and I was the one who indulged my subordinates to burn your house and beat your family. There are injustice and debt. Today I will use this life to apologize to you. I just want you to give your hands up and save my father-in-law. He is as kind as a mountain to me. I am willing to exchange my life for his life."

There was a big uproar in the audience. Li Er, who had never expected Chai Shao to be so good, was also startled and stopped it quickly. The imperial guards guarding the imperial city rushed up and slammed their swords and guns to surround Chai Shao, but Chai Shao was not afraid at all.

Just blushed and shouted at Chen Yingliang: "How? As long as you nod, I will settle it in front of you."

There were more people watching, Chen Yingliang shook his head and sighed, and had no choice but to turn over and get off the horse, walked to Chai Shao, and said helplessly: "Brother Sichang, you have not changed at all, you know that

Is it a crime to cause trouble outside the gate of the imperial city?”

"As long as my father-in-law is safe, what crime should I be afraid of?" Chai Shao pushed Li Er away with a blue face and shouted: "I lost my head with a scar that was big. In order to save my father-in-law, I don't care about anything."

"The filial piety is commendable, but unfortunately, you are too stupid. You have to help others count the money." Chen Yingliang looked even more helpless and sighed: "If I guess correctly, Li Erlang forced you to ask for help."

Mine? Why don’t you think about it? Why did he do this? Why did he pull you to kneel down and beg me in front of the imperial gate? He is not trying to save your father-in-law, but to make the matter of your father-in-law messing around.

Even bigger, when he was in trouble, he also took the opportunity to drag me into the water, causing me to be in a dilemma.

Shaking his head and sighing, Chen Yingliang turned to Li Er and said, "Erlang, you are indeed a smart person, so smart that he is almost vicious. You know that Brother Sichang is irritable and feels very guilty towards your father. In order to save your father, what did he do?

I can do everything, and I know that I am kind-hearted and will definitely not refuse completely. As long as I agree with a little soft heart, it is like you dragged it down from the water. You can also take the opportunity to muddle the water, and then increase the rescue of your father.

I hope I can take the opportunity to throw dirty water on me, right?"

Li Er's intention was revealed, but tears were still rolling on his face. He cried and refuted: "Brother, you are so wronged. You are so unjust. You have missed it ten or a hundred times. Why are you wrong again?

Dare to have malicious intentions towards you?”

"A hero is afraid of tyrants. This sentence is truly a matter of eternal principles."

Chen Yingliang sarcastically, then turned to Chai Shao and said, "Brother Sichang, don't pretend to be a desperate man. I still said the same thing. The case of Duke Tang was a Qin case, and he had his own national laws and regulations. I am not an official in charge of the Three Divisions.

, I have no right to intervene, no matter how you force me to beg me, I will not violate the law and overstep my authority."

"Another." Chen Sangliang added: "Brother Sichang, I also want to remind you, think of your wife, your mother and sister, and also your father who is ill in bed.

, What should they do if you die for a moment of indignation? You are their last hope. This time you have made great contributions in the battle for kings, and they have also seen the last hope. What should they do if you die? Are you

Do you want to kill them too for a moment of righteous indignation?”

Hearing Chen Yingliang's heartfelt words, Chai Shao, who didn't want to die in his heart, was a little shaken, and his hand holding the stone was trembling. The imperial guards next to him took the opportunity to pounce on him, knocking the stone away from him,

He pressed it on the ground, and then Li Er was naturally held down by the imperial soldiers. Chen Yingliang shook his head and sighed, but did not stop him. He just said, "Dear brothers of the imperial guards, be polite to them. This son of Li Shimin is a royal relative.

, I must safeguard the dignity of the royal family. This young master Chai Shaochai and I are family friends, so I can give me some face."

The soldiers of the imperial guards agreed, but did not punch and kick Li Er and Chai Shao, but just tied them up. Chen Yingliang said to Li Er with a cold expression: "Brother Shimin, congratulations, your bitter plan has been successful.

, Your Majesty's sacrifice of your life to save your father may have a riot, and I may be dragged into the water by you. But don't be too happy too early. Even if Your Majesty asks me about this, I will only answer

In one sentence - Please give your Majesty the Holy Prison."

Li Er was held down by the imperial soldiers as if dejected, and snorted coldly in his heart: "Don't be too happy too early. It was Chai Shao that idiot causing trouble near the imperial city. It has nothing to do with me, but it has something to do with you. Besides,
Chapter completed!
