Chapter 354: Sorrow and Promotion Enhanced Edition

When Chen Yingliang woke up, it was already the next morning. Seeing that the guard was surrounded by a few people he didn't know, Chen Yingliang, who was doing evil, was more or less shocked. He quickly asked about the identity of the people around him. The waiter replied respectfully: "Report to Deputy Envoy Chen, we are all the imperial physicians of His Majesty the Emperor. It was His Majesty who personally ordered us to take care of you."

"Oh, so that's it." Chen Yingliang, who was also afraid of being assassinated, breathed a sigh of relief and asked again: "Where is this? What's the situation of Your Majesty? What's the military situation on the battlefield?" This is Your Majesty's temporary palace in Yanmen City. Your Majesty's situation is very good. He doesn't know the specific situation of military affairs outside the city. He only knows that he is continuing to chase and kill the Turks and the army of kings is here. "The imperial doctor answered one by one, and said, "Deputy Envoy Chen, Your Majesty came to visit you in person last night. He saw that you were too tired, but he didn't wake you up. He just said that after you wake up, you can go and see the driver at any time."

Although his whole body was still sore, in order not to be muttered and arrogant, Chen Yingliang quickly got up and took a bath and washed up, hurriedly ate some breakfast and changed into Yu Jing's clothes, and then rushed to the temporary government office hall to pay homage to Emperor Yang of Sui. As a result, when he arrived at the hall, Emperor Yang of Sui happened to be holding a court meeting with all civil and military officials. The staff were quite arriving and allowed to go to the hall. Chen Yingliang was also obedient and quickly saluted respectfully, shouting respectfully for the emperor for thousands of years. Emperor Yang of Sui smiled and said, "Chen Aiqing is calm, you have worked too hard, why don't you rest for a while? How are you doing now?"

"Military information is like fire, I dare not slack off." Chen Yingliang replied, and said again: "Thank you Your Majesty for your concern. I am already comfortable. I am really frightened and flattered when I heard that Your Majesty had visited me in person."

"You have worked hard for me, and I should go to visit you in person." Emperor Yang of Sui said in a friendly tone, "You don't have to worry about military information. I have let Yinshi's Yin Aiqing take your position temporarily and take charge of military affairs. Guyi Gu has also brought the food of the Later Army to Yanmen City. Our army's strength has increased again, and we will pursue the defeated Turks and have a stable chance of winning. You just need to join me with Jinghou's generals and Jiayin."

Chen Sangliang agreed respectfully, and then he took the time to observe the situation of all officials. Seeing Pei Ju, Pei Yun, Pei Renji and others smiled and nodded to him. Xiao Guoji, Yu Shiji and others looked at him with resentment. Most of the remaining neutral factions looked kind and had a good attitude towards him, but they did not see the old man Le Fan Zigai, which made Chen Yingliang a little strange and worried - Lao Tanruo was already not young after all.

At this time, Emperor Yang of Sui smiled and said, "Aiqing Chen, I asked you yesterday, what kind of reward you want, you fainted before you could answer. Now that you are awake, then you can tell me, what kind of reward you want me to give you?"

Xiao Guojiu and others glanced at Chen Yingliang with some expectations, hoping that Chen Yingliang would open his mouth and make Emperor Yang of Sui dissatisfied. Unfortunately, what disappointed Xiao Guojiu and others was that Chen Yingliang, who had been a man for two lifetimes, was still extremely sensible and obedient, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the battle in Yanmen is able to win, and it is all due to the emperor's blessing. It is also up to the soldiers to use their lives. It was just now that the ministers did not have enough achievements and dare not seek rewards."

"My dear, don't be humble." Emperor Yang of Sui laughed and said, "I don't know if you have any credit? I asked you one last time, what reward I hope I will give you? The only chance is this time. Don't regret if you miss it."

Chen Yingliang hesitated for a moment before bowing and saying, "Your Majesty, I really don't dare to ask for rewards from me. I'm brave enough to ask you to give me a grace and give me a reward of me for two months."

"Two months vacation?" Emperor Yang of Sui was stunned and asked curiously: "Chen Aiqing, what do you want to do during the two months vacation?"

"Weicheng wants to go home and get married." Chen Yingliang said with a little twisted voice: "More than two years ago, in Daxing, Weicheng made a new marriage and agreed to get married as soon as possible with the woman. However, due to busy military affairs, Weicheng has not been able to fulfill his promise. Taking this opportunity, Weicheng begs His Majesty to give him two months off and let Weicheng go home and get married."

"Is my dear not married yet?" Emperor Yang of Sui asked in surprise: "Yesterday, did Wang Shichong and Wang Aiqing say that you and his daughter have already given birth to a child?"

"I am guilty of my crime, please pay your majesty a serious punishment." Chen Yingliang quickly bowed his head and apologized, and said with a blushing face: "I am absurd, and I have already engaged in a engagement, and have a mistaken relationship with Wang Junzhu's beloved daughter, which caused Miss Wang to get pregnant accidentally. Fortunately, Wang Junzhu was generous and did not care about it, and even gave her daughter to Weichen as a side house. However, because of busy affairs, I am not officially married to Wang Junzhu's daughter. "

"I didn't expect that my dear will be brave and powerful on the battlefield, and I also made great achievements in the love field." Emperor Yang of Sui laughed loudly and waved his hand and said, "I'm not as good as a young man? Even Wang Aiqing, the father-in-law, doesn't care about you. What crimes do I punish you, an outsider? By the way, my dear, are you engaged to the daughter of that family?"

"I am engaged to the daughter of the late General Chang Sun Sheng, the Right Guard." Chen Yingliang answered truthfully.

A very simple answer made Emperor Yang of Sui's laughter come to an abrupt end, and also surprised Emperor Yang of Sui, "Changsun Sheng's daughter? Chen Aiqing, your true wife is Changsun Sheng's daughter?"

Chen Yingliang admitted that Emperor Yang of Sui was even more strange. He stared at Chen Yingliang and was a little reluctant to speak, which made Chen Yingliang feel a little nervous. Fortunately, Emperor Yang of Sui quickly said: "Love, it seems that this is really God's will. Do you know? After being surrounded by the Turks, I once said this sentence - to the envoy Changsun Sheng, and not to let the Huns come here."

Chen Yingliang was also stunned. Pei Juze next to him took the opportunity to say, "Your Majesty, it seems that this is also the heroic soul of Changsun Gong. Changsun Gong was unable to come to protect the carriage when he died, but he sent his son-in-law to save the carriage. Changsun Gong is loyal to His Majesty, and his son-in-law is also loyal to His Majesty. Why worry about the troubles of the border when he is loyal to Changsun Gong? Why worry about the rest of the world?"

Emperor Yang of Sui nodded and then said, "Chen Aiqing, I will give you three months off to marry Changsun Sheng's daughter."

Chen Yingliang was overjoyed and quickly saluted and thanked him. Emperor Yang of Sui smiled and said, "Don't rush to thank you. I haven't finished my words yet. Chen Yingliang obeyed the order."

"There is a good minister." Chen Yingliang quickly bowed his head. When he knew the main show was about to begin, his heart beat faster. He didn't know what kind of official position Emperor Yang of Sui would grant him.

As expected, Emperor Yang of Sui said seriously: "Chen's beloved to save the Lord, and he also captured the chief of Shibi's thief for me alive. He avenged the national humiliation and worked hard and made great contributions. I now grant you the title of General of the Right Wu Guard, the Silver and Green Guanglu Duke, and the title of Duke Xuchang. He also gave you three thousand pigs of colorful silk, three thousand stones of grain, one hundred kilograms of gold and silver, fifty female musicians, one hundred servants, one mansion in the east and west capitals, and Xu Lin Street opened the door, and a thousand acres of fertile land."

"General of Right Martial Guard?"

The court was full of anger. Dugu Sheng, one of the two generals of the Right Martial Guard, almost glared his eyes out of his eyes. He never dreamed that the poor boy would ride on his neck. Pei Renji, who had been coveting this position for a long time, was so jealous that his face turned red. Chen Yingliang also screamed in surprise and said, "Your Majesty, I must not dare to receive the order. I am only nineteen years old and don't even have the qualifications to enter the palace. What kind of virtue is it? I am the fourth army of the palace? I am the brave and beg your Majesty to take back the order.

"No," Emperor Yang of Sui flatly refused, and said: "The Right Wu Guard is stationed in Luoyang, and the eastern capital Luoyang is located in the heart of the world. I need a brave, warlike and loyal general to command the Right Wu Guard. You are the most suitable candidate. Don't refuse, thank you."

Chen Yingliang pretended to refuse again. Emperor Yang of Sui insisted on not allowing it. Chen Yingliang was helpless and respectfully thanked him. He cursed and vowed to be loyal to Emperor Yang of Sui for life. The civil and military officials of the Sui court rushed to congratulate Chen Yingliang. Chen Yingliang, who had never expected that he would rise so high, had a blank mind in his mind. He was confused and polite to everyone. He suddenly remembered a big event in his heart, and he said, "At the beginning, Fang Xuanling and I had an agreement, saying that one day I would open a government office and build a yamen, and he would serve under my command. Now, I seem to have completed the agreement?"

It was as if he was in a dream. Until the meeting ended, as the officials left the hall, Pei Ju and Pei Yun brothers took the initiative to invite Chen Yingliang to their residence to talk. Chen Sangliang then came to his senses a little and quickly followed the Pei brothers to the house where they didn't even have the roof. He gave the Pei brothers a junior tribute to the Pei brothers, calling himself a little nephew. Pei Ju waved his hand and said, "Nephew, don't have to be so polite. Get up, this will call you here. We brothers want to talk to you about the future."

"Little nephew listen to the advice." Chen Yingliang answered quickly.

"My dear nephew, it seems you will have to restrain yourself for a while in the future." Pei Ju said seriously: "Your Majesty appointed you as the General of the Right Martial Guard, which is much beyond our expectations. The reward is too heavy, and it is not a good thing for you."

"Originally, my uncle and I wanted to push you to the position of Hedong comfort ambassador and replace Li Yuan in charge of the fight against the rebellion in Hedong." Pei Yun took the conversation and said, "Last night, my brother had already spoken to His Majesty. Although His Majesty did not express his opinion at that time, he did not refuse. My brother still felt that the matter had been done, but he did not expect that His Majesty would enthrone you as the General of the Right Martial Guard. We cannot judge at present that the emperor was on a whim and had this plan."

"If Your Majesty had plans, then it would be better. If Your Majesty made a temporary decision on a whim, then your trouble would be even greater." Pei Ju said in a deep voice: "The wood is fascinated by the forest, and the wind will destroy it. Your performance in the past two years has been dazzling and envious. This time, skipping the famous ministers and generals of the gang to serve as the General of the Right Martial Guard is equivalent to becoming the target of public criticism. Your Majesty's personality is a bit like to change. If he regrets this decision, your fate will be unimaginable. If he regrets this decision, then your fate will be unimaginable.

"Especially, you have formed an irreconcilable vengeance with the Li family in Longxi," Pei Yun said again: "You may not know yet, because of the reports and reports from Yinshishi, Li Yuan has been arrested and imprisoned. Fan Zigai was named Taiyuan left-behind by the emperor, and he had to carry out a major purge on the Taiyuan army. The great injury to the Li family is a foregone conclusion. Yinshishi is the emperor's confidant, Fan Zigai is respected, and the Li family may not concentrate their efforts to retaliate against them, but it is a foregone conclusion to attack you. You have become the main target of revenge for the Li family, and life will only be even more difficult."

The two old sluts in the Pei family said one by one, making Chen Yingliang's face turn pale, and he couldn't help but wail: "The two uncles and nephews also know that they have been promoted too fast this time and must be jealous, but there is no way. Your Majesty insists on enthroning this way, and nephews can't even push them off even if they want to."

"We don't mean to blame you, and we know you can't push it off." Pei Ju shook his head and said, "We say these words to you just ask you to be cautious in your words and deeds in the future and not be caught by others. And you'd better act in a low-key manner. For a period of time, don't lead troops to fight, and you can't make too much personnel adjustments to the Right Martial Guard. You should be low-key and low-key, and be a person with your tail between your tail."

Chen Yingliang nodded with a sad face, thinking that others are happy to be promoted, but I am always trembling every time. What is this?

"But there is no need to worry too much." Pei Yun patted Chen Yingliang on the shoulder and comforted him: "With my brother and I in the court, the open and secret arrows of ordinary people can't hurt you. As long as you don't make big mistakes and don't get caught, there is basically no big problem. Oh, by the way, I heard that Hongce once engaged to you and Brother Renji's daughter. Is this a matter?"

Chen Yingliang admitted, and Pei Yun then said: "If possible, you should try to take our niece as a side house and become a relative with Brother Renji. Do you know? Brother Renji has actually set his sights on the position of General of the Right Wu Guard. Now that you have taken the lead, he will feel unhappy. If he has any unhappiness with you, even if his brother is the head of the Pei family, it will be difficult to reconcile. Being a relative with him is the safest way."

"But I already have a wife." Chen Yingliang said with even more frowning: "My uncle has a high position and a powerful position. How can he tolerate his daughter as a concubine?"

"That's your problem, let's find a way for yourself." Pei Ju smiled and said, "By the way, your Uncle Renji complained in front of us, saying that his daughter was harmed by you, and insisting that no one except you would marry him, which made him feel troubled so much that he couldn't do anything about it now."

Chen Yingliang nodded even more frowningly and said to himself: "It's so troublesome. The little pepper was originally good and could barely deserve it, but his temper was so spicy that he couldn't bear it."

After complaining about his own worries, Chen Yingliang learned about what happened after he fell into a coma through the introduction of Pei Ju and Pei Yun. Only then did he know the amazing identity of Yinshi Master, and the incident where Li Yuan accused Yinshi Master but brought humiliation to himself. Then Chen Sangliang remembered a big question and asked: "Uncle, my nephew, can you ask, is Ambassador Li possible to die this time?"

"It's hard to say, the key is to rely on the emperor's attitude." Pei Yun, the Supreme Inspector, frowned and said: "Li Yuan's affairs are big, and they are not big. If it were someone else, I could take his life by just moving my fingers. But Li Yuan is different. He is not only a royal relative, but also the head of the Li family of the eight major families of Guanlong. The impact of taking his life is too great. Without His Majesty's nod, I would not dare to make a decision without authorization."

"Nephew, don't interfere with this matter." Pei Ju said, "Li Yuan is in prison. If you add any harm to him, in addition to making deeper enemies with the Li family, you may also cause trouble and cause unprovoked trouble."

Chen Sangliang hesitated for a moment before he said carefully: "Two uncles, you misunderstood. I don't want to take advantage of Duke Tang, but I want to ask if Duke Tang is likely to die because of this. If Duke Tang cannot live, I want to protect him."

"I protect him? Do you want to repay your grudges with kindness again?" Pei Ju asked with a smile.

"To be precise, it is to be a favor with the flow." Chen Yingliang replied seriously: "I think so. If Your Majesty decides to ask Duke Tang, then I will definitely not interfere and make it boring. But if Your Majesty does not want to kill Duke Tang, or cannot kill Duke Tang, then I can take the opportunity to make a favor with the flow, come forward and ask the emperor to forgive Duke Tang, set up steps for His Majesty the Emperor, and also take the opportunity to ease the conflict with Li family."

"I am not really afraid of the Li family when I do this." Chen Yingliang quickly added: "I am thinking about Wenxi Pei's family. I am a branch of Wenxi Pei's family. This is known to everyone in the court. If my nephew insists on making enemies with the Li family, then the Li family and others will inevitably suspect that it is uncle who secretly supports indulgence, which will be somewhat unfavorable to Wenxi Pei's family. But if my nephew eases the relationship with the Li family a little, then even if Ambassador Li continues to hate her, he will not be angry with Wenxi Pei's family."

Chen Sangliang's words touched Pei Ju and Pei Yun. Although the two old slip-killers were not afraid of the Li family, they were unwilling to form an irreconcilable mortal hatred with a Guanlong clan, which affected the interests of the family. So after thinking for a while, Pei Ju nodded and praised: "I didn't expect that my nephew would consider the overall situation like this at such a young age. Yes, if the emperor was unwilling to take the Duke of Tang, you should do a favor, which would be a good thing for yourself, and at least it would relieve some of the pressure you were under.

After approving, Pei Ju ordered: "Then this way, we will pay attention to Your Majesty's attitude for you about Duke Tang. If there is news, you will tell you, but before that, you cannot take action casually. If you stand in the wrong team in this matter, the consequences will be unimaginable."

"Thank you for your fulfillment." Chen Yingliang thanked quickly, and felt relieved, knowing that if Emperor Yang of Sui was unwilling to kill Li Yuan, he would at least be worthy of his kind good friend Li Jiancheng.
