February Erlong raised his head, according to the usual practice, Sui Gaozu Yang Jian led the vassal kings in Beijing, the relatives and the civil and military ministers held a grand opening ceremony on this day, and at this year's opening ceremony, the most striking thing is neither the emperor himself who presided over the ceremony, nor the Jin king Yang Guang who still stayed in Chang'an and has not returned to Jiangnan, or even the first recovery from a long illness, on the same day led the imperial court to hold a silkworm ceremony in the harem Queen Dugu Jialuo, but was ordered to return to the court to be in charge of the government of the court - Shangshu left servant Gao Ying.

Since the ninth year of the emperor's army to attack Chen, Gao Ying was ordered to marry the prince Yang Yong as a son and daughter, until last year due to the bizarre death of the crown princess Yuan caused by a turmoil of the abolition of the crown prince, Gao Ying supported the prince Yang Yong, forcing the emperor to dispel the idea of another prince, in the eyes of the ministers, Gao Ying is undoubtedly the most important support of the prince Yang Yong, his order to return to the court, and appeared in the February 2 court held at the cultivation ceremony, made the courtiers who once thought that the emperor was about to abolish the establishment again, and couldn't help but muttered in their hearts: In the past two months, since Yang Guang, the king of Jin, returned to Beijing Province to pro-family, he has successively presided over the investigation of the cat ghost case (because Pei Yun is a subordinate of the Jin Dynasty's palace, in the eyes of the ministers, it is normal to attribute the credit for solving the cat ghost case to Yang Guang), and the Qin king Yang Jun was poisoned by the princess Cui, and at the same time, the crown prince Yang Yong was rumored to be involved in the cat ghost case, and took advantage of the haunting in the palace to usurp the power of the forbidden army. Although he was not cut off from the government and took charge of the forbidden army, the emperor instructed the vassal kings of Zhongshu Province and the governors of the major states to submit the chapters to the imperial court, and all of them were directly submitted to the emperor himself by Zhongshu Province, without going through the East Palace, and appointed the brother of the late crown princess Yuan's clan Wuyuan County Gongyuan Min as the general of the right guard, and entered the palace to stay on duty, within half a year, the East Palace will change hands, and Yang Guang, the king of Jin, will definitely ascend the throne and become the prince of the East Palace of the Great Sui Dynasty.

However, at this time, Gao Ying's return to power has brought a variable to the gradually clear trend of the court, and the ministers are pondering in their hearts: since the emperor will be abolished, Gao Ying, who has a close relationship with the crown prince Yang Yong, should not be recruited to return to power, could it be that there are unknown changes in the court and the palace, which made the emperor change his mind again?

Yang Guang, the king of Jin, who was one of the parties, knew the reason very well, because he suggested to his father Yang Jian that he was the one who recruited Gao Ying to return to power.

The reason why Yang Guang suggested that his father Yang Jian recruit Gao Ying to return to power was first based on the fact that Changsun Sheng was ordered to send an envoy to the Turks again, which not only succeeded in prompting Dulan Khan Yongyu Lu to personally kill his old enemy Yuwen Panruo, but also forced the Turks to refuse Goguryeo's request to send envoys to invite them to join forces to attack Sui, isolated the ambitious Goguryeo in the north, and further stabilized the relationship between the Turks and the Sui Dynasty. The situation in the north has returned to calm, which has created objective conditions for the recall of Gao Ying.

Secondly, in the face of the pressure of the crown prince Yang Yong, Yang Guang had already returned to Jiangnan and avoided competing with Yang Yong. Because, he gradually realized that his father Yang Jian handed over to him the mission to investigate Gu Sheng's rebellion, which was tantamount to detaining the general in Chang'an for a long time, and as a vassal king who was ordered to pacify the south of the Yangtze River, and nominally a lieutenant who held the power of the world's soldiers and horses, Yang Guang knew very well in his heart that the longer he stayed in Chang'an, the more the prince's suspicion of himself would be deepened.

The requisition of Gao Ying to return to the dynasty and the removal of Yang Xiong, the king of Guangping, from Hebei on his behalf can not only help his father to better govern the country, but also convey to the ministers of the court that the position of the prince is stable and that the emperor has not abolished the prince, which not only helps to stabilize the court, but also shows the prince his sincerity that he has no intention of competing with him, why not?

Although Yang Jian adopted Yang Guang's suggestion and ordered Gao Ying to return to the court, there was still a matter that made Yang Guang feel very headache, which made it difficult for him to get out of Chang'an and return to Jiangnan with the princess Xiao E.

Although Chen Shubao, the queen of Nan Chen, was forced by Yang Guang to exert pressure on him, he promised to help him find out the culprit who instructed Gu Sheng to rebel, but more than ten days passed, but he failed to provide Yang Guang with Ren's help, Yang Guang was disappointed, and wanted to find Chen Shubao again to ask for an explanation in person, forcing him to do his best to help him solve the case, even if he found a useful clue, but when he told Pei Yun of this idea, he was dissuaded by Pei Yun.

"Lord Wang, with all due respect, Chen Shubao will never really help the prince to solve the case of Gu Sheng's rebellion, and the lower official advises the prince not to waste any more effort on Chen Shubao."

"Hey, Chongzhi, I remember that when I was in Huiji last year, you reminded me that Chen Shubao had the biggest suspicion, and he was probably still secretly manipulating Xiao Rushui, Zhang Zhongjian and others in the 'Wild Goose's Nest to try to restore. Now that I am about to take the opportunity to tempt him, why do you persuade me not to seek him? Yang Guang was extremely puzzled by the contradiction between Pei Yun's attitude before and after, and asked in surprise.

Pei Yun smiled slightly, arched his hand and said, "Lord Wang, this time and that time." When Xia Guan was in Jiangnan with the prince, from the two murders that occurred in Jiankang City, to the later Gu Zi'er who hijacked the Qian clan to ask for a huge ransom from the imperial court, and Xiao Rushui bizarrely robbed 100,000 ransoms, he pondered repeatedly to find out the connection between these events, and found that except for Chen Shubao, no one else seemed to have the identity, ability to plan and manipulate all this, so he became suspicious. Don't hide it from the prince, so far the suspicion of the lower officials about Chen Shubao has not been dispelled, but I just think that no matter how the prince coerces, Chen Shubao will never help the prince investigate the case. ”

"You put it more clearly, isn't Chen Shubao afraid that this king will instigate Xiao Rushui, Zhang Zhongjian, Gu Zier and others to cause chaos in Jiangnan, and Gu Sheng will impose Liu Jushi to rebel against him, and suggest that his father kill him?"
