Of course, Pei Ju was unwilling to show up, but he asked his distant nephew Chen Yingliang to come forward and encourage Hu'er to come to the middle school to advise Emperor Yang of Sui not to go to the south again. Chen Yingliang was not unable to deal with it - he couldn't afford to mess with Chen Yingliang and could afford to hide. He thought about delaying for a few days, and then he would forget about it. Or when Emperor Yang of Sui confirmed his southern tour of Jiangdu, he would just use the excuse that he didn't have time to contact Lai Hu'er.

However, the plan did not change quickly. The matter only happened one day. One day later, at noon, when there was no morning court that day, Pei Ju, who was busy with trouble, suddenly sent someone to the General's Mansion of the Right Wu Guard to pass the message, asking Chen Yingliang to go to the Shangshu Desk to see him immediately and discuss important matters. Chen Sangliang, who had a strong sixth sense, felt that the situation was not good, but he did not dare to refuse. He could only follow the messenger to visit Pei Ju. As expected, after waving away everyone in the signing room, Pei Ju asked in a smug sentence: "How is the matter of contacting the guardian?"

"Report to my uncle, time is in a hurry, and my nephew has not had time to contact Lai Zhuguo." Chen Sangliang replied with some guilt.

"Save the time, today, you must understand Lai Zhuguo's attitude." Pei Ju rarely spoke harshly to Chen Yingliang and ordered firmly: "Tomorrow morning, tell me the reply of Lai Zhuguo must not be wrong."

"Uncle, what happened?" Chen Yingliang felt even more wrong and quickly asked, "Did Your Majesty have already revealed his intention to make a southern tour?"

Pei Ju nodded, with a very serious expression and whispered: "In the palace, when Your Majesty visited the West Garden today and admired the flowers and plants in the garden, he suddenly felt a lot of emotion, saying that although the flowers in Luoyang are beautiful, no flowers and plants can match his favorite Qionghua. He also looked southeast and said that the Qionghua in Jiangdu must be in full bloom. From this I can conclude that Your Majesty already had the idea of ​​visiting Jiangdu for three times."

"Your Majesty likes Qionghua, which is well known to all officials." Chen Yingliang said with some confusion: "Even so, why did my uncle ask my nephew to find out the intention of coming to Zhuguo today?"

"Do you really don't know, or pretend not to know?" Pei Ju turned Chen Yingliang away and said in a low voice: "Among all officials, is it the only one who secretly exchanges information with the eunuchs around His Majesty? How could the words His Majesty said when he was visiting the garden reach my ears, so how could it not be heard in other officials? Uncle, I don't want Your Majesty to go south again, but who can guarantee that other officials will not deliberately flatter Your Majesty to please Your Majesty? Moreover, in order to make Your Majesty happy, these flatterers will definitely persuade Your Majesty to go south soon. I will bet that in the morning court tomorrow, there may be officials who will give advice and persuade Your Majesty to go south again in Jiangdu."

Hearing this, Chen Yingliang finally understood why Pei Ju became the chief civil servant and was just a small criminal police captain. He nodded and thanked Pei Ju for his guidance. Pei Ju urged again: "Just understand. Today, you must understand the attitude of Lai Zhu Kingdom, and you can also tell him what Your Majesty said when he visited Xiyuan. As long as Lai Zhu Kingdom dares to be the first to stand out and talk to Your Majesty for a little bit, I can secretly contact all officials and try to persuade Your Majesty to give up the southern tour."

"Old sloppy, I don't have the courage to persuade me, and I have to force me to incite Lai Hu'er. What if I come to Lai Hu'er and drag me into the water?" Chen Sangliang complained in his heart, and did not dare to say it out loud. He could only answer with a tough bullet: "Don't worry, uncle, I will do my best."

Seeing the distant nephew's frown, Pei Ju said again: "Nephew, don't say that my uncle didn't warn you. If your Majesty really decides to go to the south, you may appear on the list of patrols with you. Don't forget that your Majesty must go to the Tongji Canal in the south. Thiefs in the Tongji Canal are rampant. You have been responsible for ensuring the smooth flow of Tongji Canal for a long time. For the safety of the imperial carriage, your Majesty will probably bring you together. The excuse that your wife is about to give birth makes sense in front of me. Is it uncle afraid to guarantee whether Your Majesty can make sense."

Hearing Pei Ju's disguised threats, Chen Yingliang naturally felt even more frowning. Pei Ju said nothing and waved his hand and ordered: "Go, I still have official duties to do, what to do, you decide for yourself."

He said goodbye to Pei Ju with a frown, and returned to the General's Mansion of the Right Martial Guard even more frown. Chen Yingliang, who was helpless and in a dilemma, could only find his own think tank Fang Xuanling, briefly introduced the incident to Fang Xuanling, and then said: "Brother, I am in trouble now. Uncle Pei Ju's hint is very clear. If I still want to stay out of the matter, he will not help me stay in Dongdu, and it is even more impossible for me to find a position left by Dongdu. But if I get involved in this matter, not only Dongdu will be left behind, but there is no hope. Maybe I will be dragged into the water by Laizhu Kingdom, anger your Majesty and be in a dilemma. I really have no choice."

This time, even Fang Xuanling, who was resourceful, frowned a little. He was forced to stand in line when he heard Pei Ju's words, and then angered Emperor Yang of Sui. If he didn't listen to Pei Ju's words, he would probably follow him south. Even if he barely stayed in Luoyang, Dongdu would have almost no hope. He was in a dilemma and had no way to move forward and retreat. So after hesitating for a long time, Fang Xuanling slowly said: "Brother, you can't listen to the instructions of Pei Zuoxiang. You have already committed the Guanlong family and are in a high position at a young age. He is extremely jealous. If you lose Pei Zuoxiang and Wenxi, the Wenxi, behind him, the consequences will only be unimaginable."

"Of course I understand this principle, and I don't want to do things for Pei Zuoxiang." Chen Sangliang said with a frustrated expression: "But the problem is that I will encourage Lai Zhuguo to persuade His Majesty to go to the south for him. Lai Zhuguo will definitely ask me why I didn't become this evil person? Then I will definitely take me to advise him, and then I will have even more trouble."

"Yes." Fang Xuanling nodded and sighed, his brows frowned even tighter, and said, "If Lai Zhuguo is a flattering villain, then things are not easy to deal with. If he doesn't stand up, you won't stand up, and everyone will just beat you up. Unfortunately..., it's a pity..."

"It's a pity that Laizhuguo is not like this." Chen Sangliang took over the conversation with a wry smile and said, "I am famous for being brave and daring to act. I dared to break into the wedding hall of my enemy when I was a teenager and kill my master to avenge his uncle. The second campaign of Goguryeo dared to withdraw the troops without obtaining the imperial edict. The general was not allowed to accept this sentence. He was the only one in the civil and military affairs of the court. I will encourage him. He will probably agree and will definitely pull me into the water."

"Laizhu Kingdom is a hero who stands tall and upright." Fang Xuanling nodded and echoed casually: "Among the civil and military officials in the court, there are only a handful of ministers who are truly loyal to the country. Laizhu Kingdom is one of them. I also know that he is not only good at governing the army, but also..., huh?"

Speaking of this, Fang Xuanling suddenly exclaimed and said in surprise: "What did I say just now?"

"Brother Qiao Song, why do you have this problem like me? You will forget what you say immediately." Chen Sangliang smiled bitterly and said casually: "You just said that the country of Tao Zhu is so strong that it is the world. Among the civil and military officials in the court, there are not many ministers who are truly loyal to the country. He is among them..., Huh?"

As he said that, Chen Sangliang also stopped suddenly, first with Fang Xuanling, he smiled together, and said in unison: "Can we both think of the same point?"

After the agreement, it was still early, so Chen Yingliang came directly to the nearby General's Mansion of the Right Guard to pay homage to Lai Hu'er. Fortunately, Lai Hu'er was working in the yamen at this moment. His most capable son came to the door to greet Chen Yingliang in person. He respectfully invited Chen Yingliang into Lai Hu'er's signing room. After meeting, Lai Hu'er even joked with Chen Yingliang and said, "Chen Xiongqu, what wind has blown you? Could it be that he is going to take the side room again? Come and invite me to the banquet at your mansion?"

"Come to Zhuguo, please spare me." Chen Sangliang took over the topic and pretended to be pitiful, saying, "I have a little tender arms and legs. If I have a wife and a side room, I can't stand it anymore. If I take another side room, I will have to submit to Your Majesty and ask Your Majesty to reward you with the Ten-Full Tonic Soup."

Lai Hu'er laughed out loud, stood up politely to invite Chen Sangliang to sit down, and immediately asked Chen Yingliang what he wanted to come. Chen Yingliang looked at his left and right, and wanted to say something but stopped. Lai Hu'er immediately waved his hand and asked all his servants to go out, leaving only his son to serve in the room, and then said, "There is no outsider, so let's just say it if you have something to say."

"I'm not hiding it to you, I'm here to ask for something today." Chen Yingliang bowed and said, "This is very difficult. If Senior Zhu Guo thinks it is not feasible, you can refuse directly. I will never mind. I haven't said these words."

"You haven't said it yet, how do I know if I can do it?" Lai Hu'er was quite kind to Chen Yingliang and said with a smile: "Tell me, let me talk first."

"Senior, when my nephew heard the wind, his Majesty plans to tour Jiangdu again."

Chen Yingliang made his expression very serious, lowered his voice and carefully introduced what happened when Emperor Yang of Sui visited Xiyuan today to Lai Hu'er. As a result, Lai Hu'er's expression quickly became very serious. After Chen Yingliang finished speaking, he immediately asked: "Is the news reliable?"

"Absolutely reliable." Chen Yingliang nodded and whispered: "I am still worried that someone may submit an advice to you in the morning court tomorrow, and ask Your Majesty to visit Jiangdu for three times."

Lai Hu'er's expression became more serious. After silence for a while, Lai Hu'er suddenly said, "My nephew told me this news and said he had asked me for it. Could it be that my nephew wanted to ask me to jointly advise you to advise Your Majesty not to visit Jiangdu again? If so, I can agree to you."

The one next to "father" was anxious when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "Father, you can't advise me, Your Majesty's temper..."

"No need to say too much, national affairs are the most important." Lai Hu'er waved his hand to stop his son's persuasion and said seriously: "If there is a great chaos today, thieves are rising, and Your Majesty is staying in Dongdu, the world is loyal to commanding to quell the rebellion. How can you go south again and miss national affairs? Yingliang nephew, don't worry, joint advice is OK, you can speak up first, I will help you as a minister, as loyal and advisory is your duty, I will help you."

"I don't mean this." Chen Sangliang, who was amused and crying, almost shouted out, and quickly waved his hand and said, "Senior, you misunderstood. I don't mean this. I don't want to ask you to jointly advise, nor do I want to ask you to help me."

"Why are you trying to beg me?" Lai Hu'er asked strangely.

"This..." Chen Sangliang had already prepared his words, and his expression became very embarrassed, and he murmured: "My younger generation, younger generation, I take the liberty, I want to ask my senior generation to come forward and advise him to give up his plan to give up his southern tour."

"Please come forward?" Lai Hu'er was stunned, then misunderstood Chen Yingliang's meaning, and asked, "Ying Liang, do you want me to start and you can speak up later?"

"That's about that." Chen Yingliang blushed rarely and said, "I'm brave enough to ask my senior to come forward and advise me, and then act according to the opportunity."

Lai Huer was so angry that she couldn't speak. Lai Zheng's face turned a little blue, and she said angrily: "Chen Xiongqu, did I hear it wrong? You want to advise Your Majesty to give up the southern tour, but you don't speak up and take the lead. You can hide behind you and act according to the opportunity. You can take advantage of the risks and let my father bear all the risks. There are such good things in the world?"

"General, please calm down and listen to me finish my words." Chen Sangliang sighed, and then bowed to Lai Hu'er and said, "Uncle Lai, my nephew is ashamed. I really want to ask you to come forward to advise and stop Your Majesty from going south and let me hide behind and see the scenery. But I have my own difficulties in doing so."

"What are your difficulties?" Lai Hu'er asked with a sneer.

"I can't bear the thunderous anger of Your Majesty." Chen Yingliang said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty's temper, uncle, you know better than your nephew. When you get angry, even the Prime Minister Su You can directly demote him to the people. My nephew is young and shallow. If you rashly advise and anger Your Majesty, your fate will definitely be worse than that of Prime Minister Su You."

"If you can't afford it, then I can afford it?" Lai Hu'er sneer even more.

"Senior, you can afford it." Chen Yingliang said solemnly: "Your Majesty personally conquered Goguryeo three times, and even Yuwen Zhuguo must obey the orders before Your Majesty. Only you, you are the only one who is independent of the navy and form oneself, is enough to prove that Your Majesty's trust and love for you are still above Yuwen Zhuguo. Therefore, even if you fail to give advice, Your Majesty will at most refuse to accept it and will not punish you any serious punishment."

"I'm different from my nephew." Chen Yingliang smiled bitterly and said, "I'm too shallow in my nephew's foundation. If I fail to give advice and anger your Majesty, let alone lose my official position and dismissal, it is possible to behead and confiscate my house."

"Of course, my nephew is not afraid of losing his life. I just want to stay a useful body, do more for Your Majesty, the court, and the Sui world." Chen Yingliang added: "I know that with Your Majesty's irritable and stubborn temper, even if you are uncle, you may come forward to advise. If that time comes, my nephew must continue to stay in Dongdu, the world's trustworthy place, to defend Dongdu for Your Majesty, and to quell the rebellion of all directions for the court. But if my nephew suffers an accident because of his advice, he will never have a chance to do these things for Your Majesty and the court."

Although it was shameless and quibbling, Chen Sangliang's words still touched Lai Hu'er a little, which made Lai Hu'er fall into deep thoughts. Lai Zhuan listened to him more and more angry, and he said angrily: "Chen Xiongqu, do you want to leave a useful body to quell the rebellion in all directions for the court? Then why not let my father leave a useful body to quell the rebellion in all directions for the court and Your Majesty?"

"Let me mock brother, because every time Your Majesty goes on a tour, he brings Uncle Lai with him." Chen Yingliang replied softly: "Uncle Lai is from Jiangdu again. Your Majesty goes on a tour of Jiangdu again. Uncle Lai is almost destined to follow His Majesty to the south. But I am different. I have the opportunity to stay in Dongdu."

Speaking of this, Chen Yingliang paused and said softly: "Uncle, brother, let me say another arrogant and arrogant word. There are not many people in the Dongdu City Luoyang City that can assist His Majesty King Yue to ensure the safety of the Dongdu capital Luoyang, and I am one of them. You don't want to let a small rebellion that can be destroyed directly threaten the safety of the Dongdu like last time, right?"

Lai Chi finally shut up his mouth and agreed with Chen Yingliang's arrogant words in his heart. There are not many people in the Dongdu City who can help Yang Tong guard the Dongdu without any surprises, and Chen Yingliang is indeed one of them. But after a little bit of recognition, Lai Chi turned to Lai Hu'er and persuaded: "Father, you can't take risks. Although you have won the favor of the holy people, Your Majesty's temper is still too irritable and you can't listen to the unpleasant honest advice at all. Even if you advise, you will take a lot of risks."

Chen Yingliang came to persuade Lai Hu'er to be the first to give Pei Ju an explanation. It was easier for Lai Hu'er to refuse to agree to Chen Yingliang, so Chen Yingliang immediately bowed and said, "Uncle, my nephew knows that this matter is very risky, it doesn't matter if you don't agree. Just be a nephew who has never said these words. The nephew just wants to say that if Your Majesty decides to go to the south, then please ask your uncle to advise him and ask your nephew to assist His Highness King Yue..."

"No need to say more." Lai Hu'er, who had been silent and thinking, suddenly spoke, interrupting Chen Yingliang's attempt to stay in Dongdu. Then Lai Hu'er said again: "I promise you and advise Your Majesty not to go on a southern tour."

"Agree?" Chen Sangliang, who didn't want Hu'er to agree, was stunned.

"Father" also screamed in surprise.

"No need to say too much." Lai Hu'er waved his hand and asked his son to shut up, his expression was extremely solemn, and he said calmly: "Even if you don't have the persuasion of your wise nephew, if Your Majesty decides to go on a southern tour, I will try my best to persuade you. As ministers, you and my father and son do not fulfill their responsibilities as ministers when they are worried about the national crisis, how can you be worthy of the kindness of the ministers and the country of Sui? I have decided, so my child doesn't have to persuade you anymore."

Lai Shuo, who had always been obedient, shut up obediently, Lai Hu'er turned to Chen Yingliang and said, "Ying Liang, although you didn't say it, I can still guess that you are not the only one today, and you don't have the ability or courage to set your eyes and ears in the palace - go back and tell Pei Zuoxiang that I will be the one who stands out and I will take risks, but if I just want to persuade Your Majesty, I will ask them to lend a helping hand as soon as possible to help me urge Your Majesty to give up the southern tour."

"It's trouble. It seems that Hu'er looks like she's determined. What if he really takes Pei Ju and the others to touch Emperor Yang of Sui?" Chen Sangliang complained a little in his heart, but when he thinks of Emperor Yang of Sui's bearish temper, Chen Sangliang felt that this might not be big. At the same time, Chen Yingliang was a little worried about Hu'er's safety, so he quickly reminded: "Uncle, then you must be careful. If Your Majesty is really angry, you have to give up when it's time to give up."
