Considering Emperor Sui Yang's bad temper, the possibility of giving up the third southern tour to Jiangdu was very slim. Chen Yingliang was full of confidence that Lai Huer could not persuade Emperor Sui Yang to give up the southern tour, so he perfunctorily completed the task assigned by Pei Ju.

, Chen Yingliang immediately put his energy into

He concentrated on how to win over Dongdu to stay on this throne, and also made an idea with Fang Xuanling, and planned to take the initiative to stand up and recommend himself when Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was discussing with the ministers about candidates for this position.

Use other channels to try to get Emperor Sui Yang to agree.

Full of confidence, the night passed quickly. When Mao hour was approaching the next day, Chen Yingliang also led his followers to the gate of the imperial city to prepare for the morning court. However, because they arrived a little late, Pei Ju, Pei Yun and others had already arrived in advance.

When he arrived and saw Chen Yingliang arriving, Pei Ju was still very worried.

He took the initiative to wave to Chen Yingliang. Chen Yingliang understood and immediately came to the Pei family brothers. While saluting and greeting, he whispered to Pei Ju: "Uncle, don't worry, it's done. If that kind of situation really happens today, come to Zhu."

The country will definitely stand up and remonstrate."

Hearing this, Pei Ju, who had always been a veteran in the city, showed a rare expression of relief, and looked at Pei Yun next to him and smiled, as if he had expected that the guardian would not refuse. Then Pei Yun asked in a low voice: "

Dear nephew, did Laizhu Kingdom mention us?"

"I mentioned it." Chen Yingliang replied in a low voice: "Lai Zhuguo also guessed that my nephew's appearance must be under the instigation of two uncles, so I asked my nephew to give you a message. If he can persuade your majesty a little bit, he can also

Please lend a helping hand as soon as possible."

Pei Ju and Pei Yun both smiled and nodded together to show their understanding, and then started talking in a low voice. Taking this opportunity, Pei Hongce reached Chen Yingliang's ear and whispered: "Xiannephew, you have come to Zhu."

As long as the country takes the lead, you must not speak carelessly."

After respectfully thanking Pei Hongce for his kind reminder, Chen Yingliang was not polite when several brothers from the Pei family were there, and said in a low voice: "My uncles, uncles, and nephew have another unkind request. If Your Majesty is not willing to accept it,

If you come to Zhuguo to advise you and insist on patrolling Jiangdu in the south, then my nephew will take the initiative to recommend himself and beg your majesty to allow him to stay in the east capital and assist His Royal Highness the King of Yue in guarding Luoyang. I hope that my uncles and uncles will do the same."

"Let's talk about it then." Pei Ju said casually: "The most important thing right now is to persuade His Majesty to give up the southern tour. We should try our best to get this done first. If it fails, we will discuss it again."

Chen Yingliang hurriedly made a promise, knowing that Pei Ju did not want Emperor Sui Yang to tour the south again and did not dare to continue on this topic. Seeing that Lai Hu'er had also arrived in front of the imperial city, he hurriedly left and went over to talk to Lai Hu'er.

.As a result, Chen Yingliang had just left with his front foot and was still trading just now.

Pei Ju, who was admonishing Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, woke up and thought to himself: "Why did Ying Liang express his hope to stay in the Eastern Capital so early? Could it be that this boy...? Good boy, no wonder he gave up the Southern Tour to persuade His Majesty.

I’m not very interested, but it turns out I still have such ambitions.”

At the same time that Pei Ju woke up, Chen Yingliang also came to Lai Hu'er and whispered that he had brought his words to Pei Ju and others. He was determined to be the leader. Lai Hu'er nodded without saying a word, his expression

He was also very calm and collected. At this time, the Mao hour had arrived, the drums in the palace were ringing, and the gate of the imperial city was opened. Chen Yingliang quickly stood behind Feng An, and followed the officials to file into the city until they went to the Daye Hall to go to court.

It was midsummer and it was not difficult to get up early, so when Emperor Sui Yang came to the Daye Hall to hold a court meeting, he was in a good mood. However, Emperor Sui Yang's good mood was soon disturbed by Yu Shiji's invitation - Seeing Emperor Sui Yang's mood

Very good, Yu Shiji rarely praises it

After serving a post, he truthfully reported that the recent rampant banditry in Xingyang had seriously threatened the security of Xingyang County and neighboring Henan County, and at the same time asked Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty to increase troops to garrison Luokou Granary to ensure the safety of this largest granary in the world.

Too many bad things were done, and Yu Shiji's hard work failed to receive any good rewards. After listening to Yu Shiji's petition, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty suddenly had water in his head again. Not only did he not adopt Yu Shiji's rare advice, he also scolded: "Cowardly

Like a rat

The Xingyang thieves are just a bunch of clowns who can be destroyed with a snap of a finger. What is there to be afraid of? Because of these little thieves, I have to send more troops to Luokou warehouse hundreds of miles away. If word spreads, won’t it make the world laugh?

Losing big teeth? No way”

Yu Shiji shut up in despair, and Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty issued an edict angrily, ordering Yang Qing, the governor of Xingyang, to quell the bandit rebellion within a time limit and ensure the safety of Hulao Pass and Tongji Canal. Yu Shiji hurriedly sang his promise respectfully, and also hurriedly

Other sure

The memorial that was going to make Emperor Sui Yang unhappy was suppressed and he did not dare to report it any more. Seeing that Yu Shiji had accidentally upset Emperor Sui Yang's mood, other civil and military officials, including Chen Yingliang, all shut up and did not dare to act recklessly.

Open your mouth and get into trouble.

Of course, there are exceptions. Yu Wenshu, the first general of the Sui Dynasty's army, Zuo Yiwei, suddenly came out, raised his scepter and said: "Your Majesty, the governor of Jiangdu has built 3,600 dragon boats and 18 water palaces.

the day before yesterday

It has been delivered to the Eastern Capital. Now that the world is at peace and the country is prosperous and the people are safe, it is time for your Majesty to tour all over the world and show his authority in all directions. I am requesting Your Majesty to visit Jiangdu three times to comfort the people and educate all the people. I sincerely ask for Your Majesty's permission."

Before Yu Wenshu finished speaking, most of the civil and military officials in the Jinluan Palace had changed their expressions. Pei Ju, Pei Yun and others were complaining in their hearts, and they never expected that they would be the first to instigate Emperor Sui Yang to patrol the south of Jiangdu.

It turned out to be Yu Wenshu who could not be overthrown. Chen Yingliang, who in his heart wished Emperor Sui Yang could go to Jiangdu to die soon, also changed his face slightly and said to himself: "It is Yu Wenshu who came to protect the child. The pressure this time is great."

Sure enough, after listening to Yu Wenshu's advice, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty suddenly showed a smile on his face, and said with a smile: "What Yu Wen Ai Qing suggested is very consistent with my heart. I also intend to visit the Jiangdu three times. I don't know what your family is saying."

What do you think?"

Except for Yuwen Shu's best friend Yun Dingxing who stood up and applauded, no one among the officials dared to say a word. They all looked at their noses and their hearts. They didn't even dare to take a breath, and they all expressed their silence to express their unwillingness to see Emperor Sui Yang again.

Touring Jiangdu. As a result, Emperor Sui Yang suddenly became unhappy and shouted: "Why don't you say anything? I ask you, I intend to tour Jiangdu again, what do you think?"

If the skin is gone, how can the general be attached? Because of this reason, and because it was clear that Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty would never go on patrol again at this time, famous traitors including Yu Shiji and Pei Yun all twitched their lips and tried to remonstrate several times.

But he doesn’t have the courage, Pei

Chu lowered his head so much that he wanted to put his head in his arms. Chen Sangliang really wanted to stand up and tell Yu Wenshu. Yun Dingxing helped persuade Emperor Sui Yang to go to Jiangdu to seek death. Unfortunately, he did not dare to offend his backer Wenxi Pei.

All I can do is remain silent.

At the critical moment, the loyal minister of the Great Sui Dynasty made up his mind to protect his son. Regardless of the angry look on Emperor Yang's face, and regardless of the fact that the person who asked Emperor Sui Yang to patrol was the military boss Yu Wenshu, he gritted his teeth and stamped his feet to stand up.

The squadron raised the wat and said: "Your Majesty, I believe that you must never go out on patrol again."

"What a man." Pei Ju, Yu Shiji and other civil and military officials all praised him heartily, but Emperor Yang of Sui's face immediately changed and he shouted: "Why?"

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. Please listen to my heartfelt words." Lai Hu'er knelt down before Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty, and said slowly and solemnly: "Eight years since our great cause, your Majesty, the Goguryeo chieftain Zheng Yuan has rebelled against his fate and caused trouble.

The Sanxing Army was stationed in Liaodong, originally for the long-term stability of the Central Plains, but the people were ignorant.

There were so many complaints about this that thieves and thieves arose, the world was in turmoil, and the country was in danger of overthrowing. At this time, I would also like to ask Your Majesty to stay in Luoyang, rest with the people, and send out troops to order generals to clear out the ugly people, calm the world, and all

You can’t patrol here again and stay away from the heart of the Eastern Capital. If you don’t, the consequences will be unpredictable.”

After hearing these unfavorable words of advice from Lai Hu'er, the expression on the face of the arrogant Emperor Sui Yang was of course as ugly as possible, but Lai Hu'er showed no fear and said loudly: "Your Majesty knows that Jiangdu is

This is the hometown of Weichen, I will return home with you

, I am enjoying the glory of my clothes, but I am burdened with the country's favor, but I cannot delay state affairs for the sake of my own glory. I am bold. I also ask your majesty to abandon the proposal and go on patrol, focus on state affairs, and sweep away thieves from all directions.

, to save the Sui Dynasty from collapse

The Pei Ju brothers and the officials they had secretly contacted were all alert to the expressions of Emperor Sui Yang. As soon as Emperor Sui Yang wavered a little, they immediately echoed the advice. Among them, Cui Minxiang, Fu Xilang, who was in charge of the jade seal for Emperor Sui Yang, couldn't calm down.

Without waiting for Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty to waver, he went out and said: "Your Majesty, come to Zhuguo.

It is true that now that the world is full of thieves, the world is restless, the people are poor, and the treasury is empty, your Majesty should stay in the Eastern Capital and personally preside over the important task of pacifying the thieves. You must not go on three rounds of Jiangdu again, which will waste people and money, and be far away from the heart of the world.

To the country, to the people, to Your Majesty, there are hundreds of harms but no benefit."

Cui Minxiang's lack of composure immediately harmed himself. Yuwen Shu, who had instigated Emperor Sui Yang's three trips to Jiangdu, was a little wary of coming to protect his son. However, Cui Minxiang, the little Fu Xilang, didn't even blink an eyelid and went out to report immediately.

He said: "Your Majesty, Cui Minxiang is making alarmist remarks and making unlucky remarks. His crime will not be pardoned. I humbly ask Your Majesty to push Cui Minxiang out of the palace immediately and behead him in order to uphold the law of the country."

"Zhunzou!" Emperor Sui Yang, who had already been holding back his anger, shouted out, "Push Cui Minxiang out of the palace and behead him immediately."

After all, Yu Wei was still there. Although the guards in the palace sympathized with Cui Minxiang who dared to speak out, they immediately stepped forward to capture Cui Minxiang. Cui Minxiang struggled and shouted, "Your Majesty, a humble minister has received the country's favor. It is not a pity to die, but he must not go on patrol again.

You can’t go on patrol again.”

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty's face became even more ugly, and he once again ordered the guards to push Cui Minxiang out of the palace immediately and behead him. As Cui Minxiang's shouts gradually faded away, Pei Ju and others who had come to help protect the children and advise them also felt cold.

He was completely determined to stop Emperor Sui Yang from making three rounds of Jiangdu.

Not a moment later, the guards brought Cui Minxiang's head to the palace. Emperor Sui Yang, who had a bad temper and had water in his head again, ordered the guards to place Cui Minxiang's bloody head in front of the guardian, and then said in a hoarse voice: "

Come and protect your son, I will give you a chance. As long as you take back your previous request, I will not pursue it any further. If you refuse, Cui Minxiang will be your fate."

There was silence in the main hall, and cold sweat broke out on many people's foreheads. Lai Hu'er was also at war with heaven and man in his heart. He was not only afraid of continuing to anger Emperor Sui Yang, who would really lose his head, but also thought of the current difficult situation. Emperor Sui Yang

Due to the dangerous consequences of another southern tour, he hesitated for a long time and did not dare to say a word. However, Emperor Sui Yang's anger became more and more intense, and he suddenly shouted: "Do you want to take back the memorial?"

"I won't take it back." Lai Hu'er, who had been completely brainwashed by his loyalty to the emperor and his patriotism, suddenly burst into tears and replied loudly: "I insist on asking your majesty to abandon the southern tour and stay in the eastern capital to put national affairs first."

He never expected that his favorite minister would contradict him like this when he came to protect his son. Emperor Sui Yang's face suddenly turned livid, and he said with a ferocious smile: "Very good, it seems that I really underestimate you for coming to love you."

, since you insist on seeking death on your own, I will allow you to come, and in the future the guardian will be pushed out of the palace and beheaded."

The identity of Lai Huer was placed there. This time, even the guards in the palace did not dare to obey the orders casually. They all looked at Emperor Sui Yang in surprise. Emperor Sui Yang became even more angry and yelled: "You don't have ears?

Push Lai Hu'er out and behead him."

The guards came forward slowly, Lai Hu'er raised his head and waited for death. The civil and military officials in the court looked at each other in confusion. They wanted to help Lai Hu'er but didn't dare to do it. Chen Yingliang was also very hesitant. He wanted to plead for Lai Hu'er but didn't.

He didn't dare to speak, but when he saw the guards coming to protect his son, Chen Yingliang made up his mind and went out to inspect the situation and said: "Your Majesty, you have done great service to the country by coming to Zhuzhu, so please keep him under your sword."

Lai Huer's eyes squinted at Chen Yingliang, but he didn't say anything. Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty asked angrily: "What? Do you also want to object to my patrol of Jiangdu again?"

"I don't dare." Chen Sangliang replied tremblingly: "Wei Chen is just begging your majesty to show mercy and spare his life for the sake of Laizhu's numerous achievements.

"Your Majesty, you must not listen to Chen Yingliang's false words. He and Lai Huer are in the same party."

An unexpected voice suddenly sounded, and Dugu Zuansi, Duke of Shu, strode out of the procession and reported to Emperor Yang of Sui: "Your Majesty, as far as I know, Chen Yingliang took the initiative to enter Youyiwei Mansion yesterday afternoon and came with him.

The guardian has been secretly discussing it for a long time. Before today's morning court meeting, Chen Yingliang and Lai Guardian discussed in a low voice. When the palace door opened, the suspicions of the ministers were dispersed. Chen Yingliang and Lai Guardian had been secretly colluding for a long time. They are actually the same party. Please investigate clearly. "

"Your Majesty, I also saw that Chen Yingliang and Lai Hu'er were discussing secretly." Yan Guogong Yu Shiyu also stood up, raised his wat and said: "Before the court today, Chen Yingliang and Lai Hu'er were discussing secretly in front of the imperial city gate.

Then something happened in the court where Lai Hu'er contradicted His Majesty and Chen Yingliang interceded for him. Wei Chen suspected that Chen Yingliang and Lai Hu'er had planned this matter and joined forces to cause trouble with evil intentions. Please investigate clearly."

"Wei Chen also saw it, Wei Chen also saw it." Officials from the Longmen clan came out one after another to prove that Chen Yingliang had indeed secretly discussed with Lai Hu'er alone in front of the imperial city gate. The most ruthless and cunning one among them was Xiao Xiao.
