"Grandpa Fan, grandson has something very difficult." Chen Yingliang knelt in front of Mr. Fan's stubbornness. Chen Yingliang did not hide it. With tears in his eyes, he directly told Fan's stubbornness directly. He also told the truth about his recommendation of the four major left-behindness. Finally, Chen Yingliang choked and said, "Grandpa, grandson is daring to return to Dongdu tomorrow to suppress the rioters in Yiyang, but now there is no imperial edict. You are also ill in bed and need me to serve the decoctions. Grandpa really doesn't know..."

"No need to say more, I understand." Old Fan waved his hand to interrupt Chen Sangliang's words with a serious expression, and said, "You go back, I can hold on to this old bone. I will preside over the aftermath in Taiyuan. It doesn't matter if there is no imperial edict. I also take charge of Xihe County. You can go back to Lingbi Pass, the southernmost tip of Xihe County, and wait for the order. I will use 500 miles to speed up the situation to report to Your Majesty and ask Your Majesty to allow you to return to the army to quell the rebellion."

"Grandpa Fan..." Chen Sangliang's voice choked. This time he was really not pretending, and said, "Grandson can't bear to part with you."

"It's okay, it's okay, get up." Old Fan stubbornly helped Chen Sangliang up, pressed Chen Sangliang next to him, pressed Chen Sangliang's hand, and said with a smile: "I know you are loyal and filial, but loyal and filial, loyal and filial. Before filial piety, grandpa and you, naturally, must first be loyal and filial, and put state affairs first. You did a good job. I am already seventy-two, and I can live less than many days. Before closing my eyes, I can excavate you, a junior of loyal and filial piety, for Your Majesty and the court, and replace me to assist the court. Even if I close my eyes, I can smile with my heart and go to see the emperor with my chest."

After hearing Fan Zigai's heartfelt words, Chen Sangliang, who had suffered countless worries, felt a little guilty for the first time. He couldn't help but bury his head in Lao Wanru's arms, hugged Lao Wanru and burst into tears. Lao Wanru gently patted Chen Sangliang's back to comfort him, and at the same time he couldn't help but cry.

Let’s take a look at the situation on the side of Emperor Yang of Sui. As Fang Xuanling analyzed, Emperor Yang of Sui was not only extremely dissatisfied with the recent situation in Luoyang, but also was furious. The reason was that Yuan Wendu, Duan Da, Xiao Guojiu and Pei Renji, four masters, made the political situation in Dongdu really look good in order to fight for power and profit. They only know how to argue and argue all day long. Military affairs and government affairs were delayed countless times, allowing a small rebellion to take over. Emperor Yang of Sui personally ordered Pei Renji to send troops to quell the rebellion. With only more than 100 miles away from the battlefield, there were strange things like insufficient food and grass supply and the disappearance of the messenger, which delayed countless opportunities for combat, causing the Yiyang thief army to become more and more rampant, causing the originally peaceful surrounding four counties to be in a panic and thieves to appear.

Another thing that made Emperor Yang of Sui even more dissatisfied was that because the Yiyang bandit army deliberately flew at the junction of the counties, Pei Renji, who was in a hurry, asked an order to restrain the troops of the four counties in the southern part of the Eastern Capital, and jointly with the forces of the Eastern Capital and the four counties to suppress the bandits. As a result, Emperor Yang of Sui was so angry that he tore Pei Renji's memorial to pieces on the spot. A small bandit with only a few thousand people, the Dongdu army with tens of thousands of elite soldiers actually needed the soldiers and horses of the four counties to help. If it were replaced by the old bandit army in Qingxu Shandong, which had been repeatedly suppressed, and he would not have been able to hand over all the troops in the world to Pei Renji's command?

Of course, if Emperor Yang of Sui could know that the reason why the Yiyang thief army deliberately played hide-and-seek with Pei Renji at the junction of the counties was because someone secretly informed the Yiyang thief army, letting the Yiyang thief army know that Pei Renji had only half a month's deadline for the thief suppression and some advance plans, then Emperor Yang of Sui would definitely be so angry that he smashed the Dragon Case on the spot.

The half-month deadline for Pei Renji passed in a blink of an eye. Without receiving the good news, Emperor Yang of Sui could only sigh to the sky in the morning and said, "It's really a pool of mud that can't be supported by the wall. There's nothing I can do. I'll send an order. I will return to Dongdu the day after tomorrow and go there to clean up the mess myself."

Knowing that sooner or later, all the civil and military officials who would agree on this day were better. Among them, the family in Dongdu was better. All the civil and military officials in Daxing were depressed. They had just returned to Daxing and reunited with their families for a few days. Anyone was a little depressed. Seeing that Emperor Yang of Sui was unhappy, Yu Shiqian, the head of the Yu family, one of the eight great masters of Guanlong, took the opportunity to leave and replied: "Your Majesty, the political affairs of the Dongdu are chaotic. The cause is that Chen Yingliang, the general of the Right Martial Guard, made inappropriate suggestions and persuaded Your Majesty to appoint four left-behind and assist His Highness, the Dongdu was in chaos. Although the four left-behind and the four left-behind and the wrong advice should be investigated."

Yu Shiqian sounded the clarion call for the eight major clans to counterattack Chen Sangliang. The powerful officials of the Guanlong clan represented by Dugu Zhuansi of Shu Kingdom, of course, immediately jumped out to help, and accused Chen Sangliang of not understanding political affairs, making random advice, and blinding the emperor. They were the real culprit of the chaos in the Dongdu. Their crimes were still far above the four major leftists who fought all day long. They all begged Emperor Yang of Sui to punish Chen Sangliang more seriously to serve as a warning to others.

Fortunately, Chen Sangliang had a few people in the court who helped him speak. At least Pei Ju and Wei Xuan stood up and said a few fair words for Chen Sangliang. Emperor Yang of Sui, who deliberately supported Chen Sangliang as a target, also knew very well that this was the counterattack of the Guanlong clan. Although he was still a little unhappy about Chen Sangliang's inappropriate advice, he deliberately ignored it in order to weaken the power of the clan and couldn't help but say, "It would be great if Chen Aiqing was still in Dongdu. With him, the thieves in Dongdu would have to worry about me? By the way, Yu Aiqing, Chen Aiqing will send a memorial to Daxing in the near future? He will help Fan Aiqing to quell the Fen River thieves. How is the progress?"

"Report to Your Majesty, I received the memorial from Chen Xiongqu last night." Yu Shiji, the Minister of the Inner History who was responsible for entering the memorial, came out and said with a very respectful expression: "I originally planned to report the battle in the Fen River to Your Majesty just now, but when I saw that Your Majesty was in a bad mood, I did not dare to submit it immediately."

When he heard Yu Shiji's words, Pei Ju and Wei Xuan and Chen Sangliang's backers slanted their eyes. Everyone knew that Yu Shiji would definitely be slandered, and all the civil and military officials of the Guanlong clan lit their eyes. Knowing that Chen Sangliang would definitely be in trouble, Emperor Yang of Sui was shocked and asked quickly: "What? Even Chen Aiqing can't quell the Fen River Rebellion?"

"Report to Your Majesty, please don't worry about the Fen River War." Yu Shiji is indeed a capable man. He can use a sorrowful tone even though it is good news. He said: "The Fen River pirates have been pacified by Chen Xiongqu, and the two thieves Jingbantuo and Chai Baochang have also been beheaded and rectified, but Chen Xiongqu seems unwilling to withdraw his troops and wants to stay in Taiyuan."

As he said that, Yu Shiji presented the memorial sent by Chen Yingliang from three hundred miles a day with both hands. The eunuch in the hall handed over the memorial to Emperor Yang of Sui. After seeing Chen Sangliang's tentative tone in the memorial, he was in a bad mood and could not help but feel angry, "Fan Aiqing's condition has not yet been cured, and he still needs someone to take care of him? In his eyes, is Fan Zigai's condition important or is my state affairs important?"

As soon as a crack appeared on Emperor Yang of Sui, Chen Sangliang's political enemies rushed up like a group of flies, condemning Chen Sangliang for only caring about his elders and disregarding state affairs. He was not a qualified minister. He should not place high hopes or entrust heavy responsibilities. Emperor Yang of Sui's face was somewhat ugly. Seeing that the situation was not good, Pei Ju, who was still a little loyal, had no choice but to bite the bullet and leave and said, "Your Majesty, it should be Chen Xiongqu who doesn't know the situation in Dongdu..."

"Report to Your Majesty, 500 miles of speed." The eunuch who hurried into the hall interrupted Pei Ju's defense and raised the 500 miles of speed memorial that Yu Shiji did not need to be transferred above his head, and said: "Report to Your Majesty, the 500 miles of speed memorial that the Ministry of War just sent is Fan Liushou's memorial."

"Fan Aiqing's 500-mile rush? What happened in Taiyuan?" Emperor Yang of Sui was shocked. Because the post office system stipulated in the Sui and Tang dynasties that unless it was a military matter of 100,000, it was generally not allowed to use 500-mile rush. Especially this 500-mile rush came from Fan Zigai, the old minister who had always been steady. Emperor Yang of Sui, who was familiar with the old stubborn personality, was also even more shocked.

"Is our spring here?" Yu Shiji, Feng Deyi and Yu Shiqian and other enemies of Chen Sangliang's eyes brighter. Pei Ju, who was ready to speak to defend Chen Sangliang, quickly closed his mouth and complained a little in his heart - nephew, don't make any mistakes again.

Mr. Fan's stubborn five hundred miles was rushed to Emperor Yang of Sui by the eunuch. He quickly opened the seal and took out the memorial and watched carefully. As he looked, the nervous expression on Emperor Yang of Sui gradually disappeared, replaced by a heartfelt smile. Then Emperor Yang of Sui rarely said a smile and said, "I didn't expect that Fan Aiqing would also use the time for public service to help others. Such things were also used for five hundred miles, and almost scared me."

"I dare to ask Your Majesty, what did Shangshu Fan say in the memorial?" Wei Xuan, who had been in love with Fan Zigai, asked curiously.

"It's nothing. Please allow his grandson to return to the Dongdu to quell the rebellion." Emperor Yang of Sui smiled and said in a gentle manner, "Old guy really won't care about himself. Chen Aiqing heard that the Dongdu thief was in trouble for a long time. He was worried about the safety of Dongdu and was worried about the old guy's condition. After telling the situation to the old guy, the old guy immediately asked Chen Aiqing to return to Lingbi Pass and standby, and rushed to report to me for 500 miles, asking me to promise that Chen Aiqing would return to Dongdu immediately and quell the rebellion. He also said that he would not die for a while, and his capable grandson would not need to be with him. It's important to do the job for me first."

This time, it was Chen Sangliang's turn to shut up all the political enemies. Even Fan Zigai's mistake of abuse of 500 miles to speed up, Mr. Wei was a little silent, and after a while, he cursed: "I'm not dead, no one deserves to die. There is still boy Chen. When I get sick next time, I dare not come to my husband to serve the medicine and see how I deal with him."

No one dared to impeach Mr. Wei's stubborn crime of dying the dynasty. Emperor Yang of Sui nodded seriously and echoed: "You are right to scold me. Chen Aiqing was discovered by you and Fan Aiqing for me. He must be as filial to you as filial to Fan Aiqing. Otherwise, I will be the first to refuse to agree."

After echoing Wei Xuan, Emperor Yang of Sui ordered again: "I will draw an edict for me, and rush to Chen Aiqing for 500 miles, allowing him to return to the Dongdu to preside over the rebellion. Tell him that it is best to quell the thief and rebellion before I return to the Dongdu, otherwise, I will pursue his inappropriate recommendation."
