"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty - I am not loyal to the people and ministers, and I cannot stop Yu Wen and other rebels from killing the monarch. I deserve ten thousand deaths, and I deserve ten thousand deaths."

Wearing a filial piety robe and a filial hat, crawling in front of Emperor Yang of Sui's spiritual throne. Our desolate Chen Sangliang cried so hard that the pear blossoms were raining, the crabapple was dew, and the sky was dark and the sun and the moon were gone. Although there were many civil and military officials in Daxing kneeling behind Chen Sangliang, they were crying sadly, but no one could be as heartfelt and touching as Chen Sangliang, so that even insiders such as Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui could not help but praise him secretly, "Chen Liushou still has feelings for His Majesty."

Before the matter was over, Chen Sangliang cried and felt that he had not done his best to protect the Lord, and even jumped up and wanted to draw his sword and commit suicide, apologizing to Emperor Yang of Sui. It was a pity that Chen Sangliang's sword had just been unsheathed. Before he could put it on his neck, Yuchi Jingde and Liu Heita and other fierce men rushed up, pressed Chen Sangliang's hand tightly and snatched Chen Sangliang's sword. Chen Sangliang still refused to give up, and cried again: "Let me go, let me go, I want to apologize to Your Majesty. As a minister, I failed to fulfill my responsibility to protect the Lord, and even made Your Majesty lose the hand of the rioters. I deserve to die. I want to apologize to Your Majesty."

Everyone tried hard to persuade, and Fang Xuanling also held Chen Sangliang's hand and cried, "Brother, Your Majesty was harmed by the traitors. As ministers, we should not forget to forget our sorrow, but also not forget to avenge Your Majesty and kill the traitors led by Yu Wen and the traitors. We hope that the lord and rebels will protect their health and use it, put national affairs first, and think that Your Majesty will take revenge and blood hatred as the most. Don't act impulsively, don't act impulsively."

The civil and military officials followed this and said that Chen Sangliang should first consider how to avenge Emperor Yang of Sui, and then decide how to apologize to Emperor Yang of Sui. After all, Chen Sangliang gave up his plan to commit suicide and apologize. However, Chen Sangliang refused to calm down and immediately changed his words and shouted wildly: "Send the order to gather all the troops. I will personally lead the Guanzhong army to Jiangdu to fight against Yuwen and the thieves to capture him alive, cut him into pieces, and crush his bones and ashes."

Daxing's civil and military officials smiled bitterly, and could only ask Chen Sangliang to be calm and not be so impulsive. Jiangdu is thousands of miles away from Daxing, and it is not a matter of revenge for Emperor Yang of Sui. It is necessary to make a long-term plan. Du Ruhui wiped his tears and said, "Chen Liuguan, Your Majesty has passed away, and there is no master in the country. The biggest thing at the moment is to support the new king. Jiangdu is far away and the road is blocked. The matter of avenging Your Majesty can only be postponed. I hope Chen Liuguan will focus on the Sui Dynasty and distinguish the main and secondary. First, lead us to support the new king, and then discuss how to avenge Your Majesty."

Chen Sangliang had been looking forward to this plan for a long time, and went to see everyone's reactions crying. Seeing that Daxing's civil and military officials present agreed and agreed, Chen Sangliang was secretly happy and couldn't help but crawl to the spirit of Emperor Yang of Sui again and cried loudly: "Your Majesty, you are so unjustly dead--"

At the same time, the inside and outside of Daxing City were already immersed in sorrow. Every household had hung a white banner for summoning souls. Whether it was military, civilians, officials and generals, or men and women eunuchs in the palace, they all gave Emperor Yang of Sui according to Chen Sangliang's orders. In response, Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng, who were able to witness Wang Xuance's letter, all quietly reminded that the news provided by Wang Xuance had not been confirmed yet, so it would be better not to do things too extreme. However, Chen Sangliang only determined that the news was true based on Yu Culture and four words, insisted on letting the whole city wear mourning, and also ordered the counties and counties in Guanzhong to call for the arrest of the ambassador, and ordered them to mourn for Emperor Yang of Sui.

The news of Emperor Yang of Sui's murder also caused a huge response. In addition to being stunned and unbelievable, the civil and military officials and military and civilians in Guanzhong all felt relieved, as if they had lifted a heavy burden. Although the people in the officialdom kept crying, the smiles on people's faces became much more unconsciously.

Emperor Yang of Sui was really unpopular. Although every major thing he did after ascending the throne, whether it was building a canal, holding an imperial examination or frequently launching foreign wars, was a contribution to the present and future generations, but he abused the people's strength too much, ignored the burdens of ordinary people and the interests of aristocratic families, and the whole country hated him. As a time traveler, Chen Sangliang knew very well the importance of Emperor Yang of Sui doing these things, and admired his far-sightedness and benefits for all generations, but he still didn't want him to continue to be an emperor, and he didn't want to give such a sometimes wise and sometimes confused emperor to be a cattle and a horse. Therefore, Emperor Yang of Sui's death was a relief for everyone, and even for Emperor Yang of Sui himself.

What followed was of course the issue of supporting the new king. Without Chen Sangliang's words, his accomplices and lackeys had completely forgotten the existence of Yang Tong, the direct grandson of Emperor Yang of Sui. He couldn't wait to select candidates for support in the Daxing royal family. Without Chen Sangliang's instructions, he specifically selected those stupid and young people. He quickly found two candidates for Chen Sangliang, one was Yang Xingji mentioned before, and the other was Yang Daoxuan, the son of King Cai Yang Zhiji. He was selected because Yang Zhiji was afraid that his son would be too smart and would cause disasters. He deliberately did not educate his son too much, which made Yang Daoxuan's talent and intelligence very pitifully, so he was targeted by Chen Sangliang's accomplices and lackeys.

Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Wei Zheng and Yuan Tiangang, the four major strategists, jointly submitted the list of candidates to Chen Sangliang, and pointed out the respective advantages and disadvantages of these two candidates to Chen Sangliang. Yang Xingji's advantage is that he is easy to control at the age of five, but his disadvantage is that his blood relationship is too far away with Emperor Yang of Sui; Yang Daoxuan's advantage is that his blood relationship is close to Emperor Yang of Sui, and he is also Yang Tong's uncle. He uses him as a puppet and competes with Yang Tong, but his disadvantage is that he is over 20 years old and has some independent ideas. If he suddenly becomes aware of it, it will be difficult to recover.

After carefully reading the information of Yang Xingji and Yang Daoxuan, Chen Sangliang smiled and asked with a smile: "Everyone, what are you thinking about? Although there are not many royal families in Daxing City, there are also several outstanding royal relatives. You have chosen them all, why did you choose these two crooked dates for me?"

Fang Xuanling and others laughed, but they didn't explain the reason. Of course, Chen Sangliang would not be stupid enough to ask why he did this. He just put down the list information temporarily and shook his head and said, "This matter is not urgent. You can discuss it later. Now the most important thing is another thing."

"Qu Tutong" Fang Xuanling immediately added.

"Yes, Qu Tutong," Chen Sangliang nodded and said sneered: "Wang Xuance made it clear in the letter that in order to harm me, Li Mi's son actually offered advice to His Highness King Yue, asking Qu Tutong to come forward to deceive me to Hedong to fight Li Shimin, and then took the opportunity to suddenly turn against him on the battlefield and help Li Erlang take my life. Now he has started to take action, and the excuse that Li Erlang's main force is concentrated in Fenyin and lure me to start a decisive battle, and I almost fell for it. This shows that he has already signed an alliance with Li Erlang in secret, and stands on His Highness King Yue, treating me as a rebellion. If he doesn't solve his problem for a day, our Yongfeng Cang life will be in peace all day long."

"Isn't this going to be a chaotic?" Fang Xuanling also spread his hands and said with a smile: "Since Qu Tutong cannot surrender because we take his son as a hostage, why do you have to be a villain and seize the son of a court official as a hostage and be criticized? Why do you have to spend money and food to support his two sons in vain? It's better to be a favor and send them to persuade Qu Tutong to return to Daxing. This will make you generous, benevolent and righteous, and it will be easier to impress Qu Tutong, who values ​​affection and righteousness.

"More important," Du Ruhui added with a smile again: "The generals and soldiers under Qu Tutong are all locals in Guanzhong. Qu Tutong's son has returned to him, but isn't the parents, wives and children of those Guanzhong soldiers still in Guanzhong? Qu Tutong, who has no worries, brings these Guanzhong soldiers to our enemies, or leads them to the Dongdu, what will these Guanzhong soldiers think?"

Chen Sangliang smiled and nodded and said, "It's a good idea. Since you want to be a good person, then you can do it to the end. Yu Qian asked Qu Tutong's family to go to Hedong, so that he had no worries. However, doing so only shows my sincerity and benevolence. He slightly disagrees with Qu Tutong's morale, and does not guarantee that he will convince Qu Tutong to return to Daxing to discuss supporting matters?"

Du Ruhui smiled and said another call to Chen Sangliang. Chen Sangliang applauded and immediately agreed, "Okay, let's do it this way. Go and summon Qu Tushou and Qu Tuquan to see me immediately, and call Liu Heita here to prevent it. Let him take 20,000 troops to Chaoyi. In this way, even if Qu Tutong refuses to obey, we don't have to worry about being caught off guard."

Everyone followed the order, and Chen Sangliang personally picked up the pen and wrote a letter to Qu Tutong. In a moment, Qu Tutong's two precious sons were first taken to Chen Sangliang. Chen Sangliang was not polite, so he arranged for them to go to Hedong to report the demise to Qu Tutong, and asked them to invite Qu Tutong on his behalf to return to Daxing to discuss the great matter of supporting the new emperor and avenging Emperor Yang of Sui. Qu Tuquan, who had not seen his father for a long time, happily accepted the order. Chen Sangliang handed them the letter he had to Qu Tutong, and asked them: "Your mother, wife and children should have not seen the veteran General Qu Tu for a long time, right? In order to prevent the Li thief army from taking the opportunity to attack, I will send General Liu Heita to lead 20,000 troops to garrison Chaoyi. You Yu Qian bring your family with you, walk with Liu Heita, and go to Hedong to meet with the veteran General Qu Tu."

"Chen Liushou, isn't that good?" Qu Tuquan asked in surprise: "I have never heard of all the families of generals who are going to the front line?"

"I'm still afraid that the veteran General Qu Tu will rebel?" Chen Sangliang asked in a gentle tone, and said without saying a word: "Just do it like that. You go back and arrange it. Let's take all your families with you tomorrow."

Seeing that Chen Sangliang was firm in his attitude, Qu Tushou and Qu Tuquan didn't have much to say anything, so they could only thank him and say goodbye to leave. After Chen Sangliang made some arrangements, he returned to the mourning hall of Emperor Yang of Sui in Zhaoyang Gate. As a result, it happened that a group of Daxing royal families cried in front of Emperor Yang of Sui. Seeing Chen Sangliang's arrival, these royal relatives who were more or less related to Emperor Yang of Sui took the initiative to salute Chen Sangliang. Many people's eyes flashed and their faces were full of desire to speak.

There was only one member of the 23 or 24-year-old royal family who did not get up to salute Chen Sangliang. He just knelt on the cushion and cried in a cushion. When Chen Sangliang asked about his identity, he was shocked to learn that he was Yang Daoxuan, the son of King Cai Yang Zhiji. Considering that his seniority and blood relationship could be able to fight against Yang Tong, Chen Sangliang carefully observed his situation and found that as introduced by Fang Xuanling and others, Yang Daoxuan, who was in his prime, did look very simple, with a slightly dull expression, giving people a kind of honest and honest appearance.

After hesitating around Yang Daoxuan for a long time, Chen Sangliang was also a little reluctant to speak, but finally he didn't speak and sighed and walked away. However, what Chen Sangliang didn't expect was that he caused some trouble for Yang Daoxuan. Seeing Chen Sangliang standing beside Yang Daoxuan for a long time observing him, many members of the royal family were so jealous that their eyes were red. After Chen Sangliang walked away, Yang Gang, the fifth son of Yang Xiong, who was beside Yang Daoxuan, said in a low voice with envy: "Brother Daoxuan, you are really wise and foolish."

"What does it mean to be wise and foolish?" Yang Daoxuan asked, wiping his tears.

"Another pretending to be stupid, right?" Yang Gang sneered: "Chen Liushou came to visit the royal family and cried. Even the five-year-old Yang Xingji got up and saluted him. You just knelt down and didn't move, but Chen Liushou noticed you. Why are you not a wise man and fool?"

"The book says that the crying spirit should be sincere. I crying spirit sincerely, not intentionally asking Chen Liushou to pay attention to me." Yang Daoxuan shook his head and explained.

"What are you pretending? Don't think I have never heard of it. Chen Liushou knows your father and has a good relationship." Yang Gang said in a low voice with disdain on his face, "Daoxuan, if Chen Liushou chooses you to support you, don't worry, I will support you too. But you will get what you wish in the future, don't forget my support."

"What do you support me?" Yang Daoxuan asked in confusion.

"I'm pretending again, right?" Yang Gang sneered, nodded in the direction of Daye Palace, and whispered: "Of course I support you in the seat."

Yang Daoxuan finally woke up, quickly shook his head like a rattle, and whispered: "Fifth brother, don't harm me, I won't sit, I will never sit."

"Pretending again." Yang Gang sneered even more.

"It's not pretending." Yang Daoxuan continued to shake his head and whispered: "It was my father's explanation to me before he went to Jiangdu. He said that no matter what happened in the future, no matter who said he would support me in the seat, I could not agree that the position was a sea of ​​swords and fire. Sitting on it would only be a broken bone. Being an official of the court is the greatest blessing."
