Chapter 4 (Part 1)

"I actually made a grudge against Chai Shao? This guy is one of the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion. He has always clung to Li Shimin's lap, and he is a close relative of the old Li family. I have made a grudge against him. How dare he do it again?

Are you going to join Lao Li's family?"

"By the way, Chai Shao's wife Li Xiuning is even more powerful. She is both civil and military, and she is also a military genius. Niangziguan was named because of her guarding the gate! Today I rejected her husband and divorced her sister-in-law. What else can she do to me?

Good impression? If I join Lao Li's family again, do I still want to have a chance to get ahead? No matter how loyal and capable I am to Lao Li's family, is it worth what this woman says in front of her father? "

Lying on the small and narrow bed, Chen Yingliang sighed for a while, but it was too late to regret. He had already shouted out the words to divorce Chai Shao's sister, and he could not swallow it back. He went to Chai's house to apologize for such a shameful thing.

, Chen Yingliang absolutely cannot do it. It is already difficult to defect to Li Yuan.

Under such circumstances, Chen Yingliang also had the idea, "Why should I hug Li Yuan's lap? He can conquer the world because great men like Wang Shichong, Li Mi and Dou Jiande depleted the strength of the Sui Dynasty, and then killed each other and depleted themselves.

Because of his own strength, he who was hiding in Taiyuan got a big advantage!"

"In this case, why didn't I think about changing my arms? No matter Wang Shichong, Li Mi or Dou Jiande, they may not have the strength and opportunity to win the world. Even Emperor Yang of Sui may not be able to protect his country and the imperial court.

If I help, they may not be able to defeat Li Yuan! If I have the opportunity and luck, I can even form a team of my own and become the boss to compete with him, Li Yuan!"

"Li Yuan, just don't interfere in my affairs with the Chai family. If you dare to interfere, I will make you regret finding a son-in-law like Chai Shao!"

After thinking about this, Chen Yingliang, who had been extremely depressed for a time, cheered up again. At this moment, Chen Laosan came in and asked Chen Yingliang to come to the main room for dinner. Chen Yingliang immediately jumped up from the bed and strode out the door with brisk steps.

The meal was still very simple, with a small plate of vegetable leaf porridge and pickles, and a bowl of mutton soup to nourish Chen Yingliang's body. Although Chen Laosan firmly refused, Chen Yingliang still gave half of the mutton soup to Chen Laosan.

Moved Chen Yingliang

After finally becoming more sensible, Chen Laosan suddenly remembered an important matter. He stopped his chopsticks and said, "Young master, I have been worrying about you today. I forgot an important matter. The contract between our family and the Chai family."

The tokens haven’t been exchanged yet.”

"Betrothal token? What engagement token?" Chen Yingliang didn't pay attention to this memory.

"Back then, our old man and Mr. Chai gave you the proof of your engagement to the third sister of the Chai family." Chen Laosan explained: "I heard from my wife that what the old man gave to the Chai family was a gold hairpin inlaid with jade.

The old man used to

We asked a skilled craftsman to make the jade. Our family spent dozens of dollars to purchase the jadeite ourselves. What the old man of the Chai family gave you was a jade pendant taken off his body. I heard that it was still the beloved thing of the old man of the Chai family, and it was passed down from ancestors.

Object."

"Where is the jade pendant? How much is it worth?" Chen Yingliang asked quickly.

"Master, what are you asking me?" Chen Laosan replied with a wry smile: "When my wife passed away, she personally handed the jade pendant to you and asked you to keep it carefully. When she was eighteen years old, she took the jade pendant to the Chai family to propose marriage. Since then, the jade pendant has been

If you hide it, how can I know where you put it?"

"Really?" Chen Yingliang carefully searched the memory of the previous owner of the body and found that it seemed to be a very precious and exquisite jade pendant. However, he couldn't remember where he hid it for a while, so he said, "There is this jade pendant, but it certainly doesn't exist."

Lost it, but I couldn’t remember where I hid it for the moment, but it doesn’t matter, it’s at home anyway, I slowly thought about it

, By the way, we are also waiting for the news from the Chai family. If the Chai family wants to take back their ancestral belongings, they can use our family’s gold hairpin in exchange. If they don’t want it anymore, then we don’t have to exchange it, even in terms of price.

It’s okay to suffer a little loss, I’m too lazy to argue with the Chai family.”

Chen Laosan also knew that Chen Yingliang's memory was confused after hanging, so he just urged Chen Yingliang to find the jade pendant as soon as possible, so as not to be at a loss when the Chai family came again. The impoverished Chen Yingliang nodded in agreement, and began to think about how to sell the jade pendant.

Get a good price and get yourself ahead in exchange for the first start-up capital.

"The courtyard door is not bolted, so my evil neighbor just barged in. Brother Ying Liang, please don't mind." Young Master Qiao Song's laughter came from outside the door, and then Young Master Qiao Song, who had helped Chen Yingliang a lot during the day, strode in.

Come, holding a wine jar in your right hand, and a small wine bottle in your left hand.

Chen Yingliang and Chen Laosan hurriedly gave up their seats and invited Mr. Qiao Song to eat together. Mr. Qiao Song was not polite and sat directly opposite Chen Yingliang. He first put the wine jar on the table and took out a lotus leaf bag from his arms.

On the table, he said with a smile: "I've already eaten the meal. Let's have a few drinks with brother Ying Liang. Bring your own food and wine, sauce meat and wine. Just prepare a pair of chopsticks and a bowl for me."

With that said, Mr. Qiao Song handed the small wine bottle to Chen Yingliang again and said with a smile: "This is the tumble wine of Sun Simiao, the good doctor of Qinling. Chai Shao kicked you on the chest during the day. It was not light. Apply it on the bruised area to prevent it from falling."

The root of the disease."

Chai Shao's kick was indeed not light, leaving a large bruise on Chen Yingliang's chest. It still hurts badly, but Chen Yingliang was afraid that Chen Laosan would be worried and did not speak out. At the same time, Chen Yingliang did not expect his good neighbor Qiao

Young Master Song would pay attention to such details, and he was truly grateful. Chen Yingliang stood up quickly and said thanks, "Brother Qiao Song, I don't have much to say. If I have the opportunity, I will repay my kindness to you today."

"You're welcome, why are we destined to be neighbors?" Mr. Qiao Song waved generously, and in turn asked Chen Yingliang to sit down, "What do you want in return for a little neighborly friendship?"

While talking, Chen Laosan had already brought bowls and chopsticks, and Mr. Qiao Song was not polite\u

7684 poured the wine himself, and then poured another bowl of wine for Chen Yingliang. He picked up the wine bowl and said, "Brother Yingliang, this bowl of wine is for you, brother Yu, for your unyielding iron bones. You can't be subdued by force, and you can't be lascivious by wealth."

, I also respect your talent and your ability to speak well. It is Brother Yu’s great fortune to meet a young hero and young talent like you, Brother Ying Liang.”

"Brother, this is such an award. I don't deserve it." Chen Yingliang quickly raised the wine bowl and said something sincere for the first time on the wine table, "Brother, this bowl of wine should be given to you by me. Brother, please help me in need and give it to me."

He provides help in times of trouble at home, is not afraid of violence, and still dares to argue with the powerful. I do not thank you for your kindness, and I have no way to repay you. I will lend you a bowl of wine today."

"Why bother saying thank you for your hard work?" Mr. Qiao Song also said modestly, then touched the wine bowl with Chen Yingliang and said with a smile: "No more clichés, let's do it!"

Chen Yingliang nodded vigorously, and he and Mr. Qiao Song drank the thin wine in the bowl together, then put down the bowl and looked at each other and laughed. They both felt that the other was attracted to each other and they felt like old friends at first sight.

After three large bowls of wine, it was getting dark. Chen Laosan tried to light a lamp, but the old Chen family was so poor that they had to rely on charity for food. Where could they find lamp oil to light a lamp? Master Qiao Song heard this and Chen Laosan was trembling with fear.

After explaining, he laughed loudly and said: "Third uncle, the moon is very bright today, why do you need to light a lamp? Just open the door. You can go about your business. I have a few words to say to Brother Ying Liang alone."

Chen Laosan agreed with tears in his eyes, opened the door and went to the kitchen to do some housework. It was at this time that Young Master Qiao Song asked curiously: "Brother Xian, there is something that makes Brother Yu very strange. Brother Xian, why did you suddenly do this today?"

Will you think of asking me about Tang Gong Li Yuan? Is it possible that my elders have any friendship with Tang Gong? Do you want to ask Tang Gong to come forward and teach Chai Shao a lesson for forcibly breaking off the engagement?"

"Of course not." Even though he had given up his plan to join Li Yuan, Chen Yingliang couldn't help but smile bitterly, and then said truthfully: "To be honest with you, brother, I want to join the army, find a way to advance, and find a way to get ahead.

Opportunity, I just didn’t expect it, alas…”

"Subject to the army?" Mr. Qiao Song was quite surprised by Chen Yingliang's answer, and asked confusedly: "Why would you want to join the army? Brother Yu has also heard about your family background. Although it is somewhat in decline, you can still be considered a queen from a famous family.

Why do you suddenly think of serving as a soldier and eating royal food?"

"To join the army is hard and dangerous, but it also gives you the most opportunities." Chen Yingliang replied calmly: "In troubled times, heroes emerge. Nowadays, bandits are everywhere in the world, and chaos is already evident. It is the time for heroes to use force, so I thought of joining the army to make meritorious deeds."

, looking for a place to settle down, and also striving to revive the declining family business."

"The world is already in chaos?" Mr. Qiao Song looked at Chen Yingliang, took another sip of wine, and then said: "Xian brother, you said that the world is in chaos, are you exaggerating? Yes, short

In just two months, bad news spread throughout the Qilu area. More than a dozen groups of traitors including Meng Jiigong, Meng Rang, Guo Fangyu and Hao Xiaode were killed.

The crowds gathered to cause rebellion, coupled with the slave bandits Bai Yusuo who rebelled in Lingwu at the beginning of the year, and the Qinghe Gao Shida and Dongjun Wagang bandits who were never wiped out, it was considered a riot. For the world of the Sui Dynasty, these ants and petty thieves were no more than

This is a disease called scabies, which can be eradicated with just a move of your hands. Why do you, my dear brother, say that the world is already in chaos?"

"Brother, the source of the chaos in the world is not these thieves, but the emperor."

Chen Yingliang, an ignorant person, said something that made Young Master Qiao Song almost jump up in shock. However, in the room where there was no oil lamp, Young Master Qiao Song's expression of nervousness and fear could not be seen clearly, so Chen Yingliang continued: "The current emperor is indeed a hero.

, dig a canal to the south

North, strengthen the connection between the north and the south, quell the border troubles and fight the Turks, protect our Chinese people, and conquer Goguryeo several times, and destroy the Goguryeo barbarians at all costs, and eliminate the hidden dangers in the Northeast forever. These things are enough to be recorded in the annals of history forever.

A great cause that will benefit all generations."

"However, the emperor is too impatient. He only wants to be famous forever, but forgets the burden of the people." Chen Yingliang added: "What originally took fifty years to complete, the emperor had to complete within five years.

Great achievements need to be collected from the people, and taxes, money and food must be collected from the people to complete them. Fifty years of taxes must be collected from the people within five years. How can the people bear this?"

"So I think that if the emperor continues to be so impatient, and continues to be so happy about his achievements, these traitors who look like ants will never be able to wipe them out, and they will just press the gourd and let the gourd rise, and the more traitors will be suppressed, the more they will be killed.

The greater the chaos in the world, the more scabies became a serious problem, and even became the gravedigger of the Sui Dynasty's subjugation..."

What Chen Yingliang said is of course the later generations' evaluation of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty. It is definitely not surprising in later generations. However, in Daxing, the capital of the Sui Dynasty in the ninth year of Daye, the only person who dared to say these words was Chen Yingliang, who had just graduated from modern society.

The man who had only been in this era for two days was stunned. In the end, Chen Yingliang dared to

Mr. Qiao Song did not dare to listen any more. He quickly gestured to Chen Yingliang and whispered: "Brother Xian, that's enough, that's enough. Stop talking. Such words are not something you can say casually. Brother Xian is here."

Outside, you must not be so outspoken anymore, otherwise your life may be in danger."

After receiving the reminder from Mr. Qiao Song and remembering the ancient speech control, Chen Yingliang realized that his words were a bit risky, so he quickly shut up and said with an awkward smile: "Brother, don't blame me, I just dare to say these things in front of you. Come on.

Outside, I will never dare to talk nonsense."

"Brother Xian dares to speak, but brother Fool dare not listen." Mr. Qiao Song smiled bitterly and warned: "Brother Xian, if such words came out of your mouth and entered my ears today, no third person would know.

It’s nothing, but when you get outside, dear brother, please don’t be so outspoken again, or you may cause trouble.”

Chen Yingliang also knew that Mr. Qiao Song was doing it for his own good, so he agreed. Mr. Qiao Song felt a little relieved. After thinking about what Chen Yingliang had just said, Mr. Qiao Song immediately discovered that Chen Yingliang's words were indeed very meaningful.

Logically speaking, the several major things that the emperor has done now actually have very good intentions. It is just that he is too eager to achieve success and is too impatient to achieve success, which is why the current situation of civil unrest has occurred.

Surprised that Chen Yingliang, a seventeen-year-old boy, could have such insight, Mr. Qiao Song couldn't help but want to continue testing, and said: "Brother, there is a topic we can continue to talk about. You just said that the emperor conquered Goguryeo.

achievement

Great achievements, forever eliminating the hidden dangers in Northeast China, but Goguryeo has already surrendered to us, the Sui Dynasty. The king of Goguryeo, the former emperor, even called himself Yuan, the minister of dung soil in Liaodong, and has bowed to our Sui Dynasty. Why do you still insist that they are hidden dangers in the Northeast?

"

It's okay that Mr. Qiao Song didn't raise Li Bangzi. Chen Yingliang got very angry when he mentioned Gaoli Bangzi, because in the late Qing Dynasty, Nan Bangzi once lost his wallet and reported a crime to the police, but he didn't provide enough clues to solve the case and couldn't even remember where he was.

Chen Yingliang lost his wallet somewhere, which made Chen Yingliang's subordinates feel embarrassed and had difficulty solving the case. As a result, Nan Bangzi was unhappy.

, while citing the example of a post-Qing police officer in a certain place looking for a car for Japanese pirates, and insisting that Chen Yingliang's subordinates immediately solve the case on the same day, he also found Chen Yingliang's boss and made a fuss, causing Chen Yingliang, who was trying to get the position of deputy bureau, to give up all his previous efforts.

Ever since that incident, Chen Yingliang hated Bangzi deeply, and his hatred was even greater than his hatred for the Japanese pirates.

In anger, Chen Yingliang simply recited a famous saying circulated on the Internet and said loudly: "The Koreans are barbarians and lowly people. They cannot be treated with kindness and righteousness, and cannot be punished with common courtesy. In ancient times, they used fish and turtles as livestock, and they were killed every day."
