Because Chen Shubao was extremely cooperative with the barbarians in Zhao'an Ridge, he presented Yang Guang with the treasure that Mrs. Xian gave him many years ago-the Funan rhino staff, which made Yang Guang have a good impression of him, and added some concern for him in the following conversation with him.

"After Princess Changle and Fuma reunited and returned to Jiangnan to live in seclusion, the Great Wall Duke was only one relative of Mrs. Xuanhua in Chang'an, right? Do you see her often on weekdays? ”

"Ah, I am so concerned about the prince, and I am blessed by the emperor, and Weiyang comes to visit my house every ten months. Everything is fine with our brother and sister. Chen Shubao replied with a smile.

"Don't hide it from the Great Wall Prince, when I met my father yesterday, I asked for my father's permission, and wanted to select a few from the old generals in Nan Chen, bring them back to Jiangnan to unify the army, and help me pacify Nan Chen's hometown, I want to ask the Great Wall Duke to recommend one or two loyal and brave generals in the army for me, I don't know if there is such a candidate in the mind of the Great Wall Duke?" Yang Guang's words changed sharply, and he suddenly asked about the matter of recommending the general to Fujiangnan.

Chen Shubao was frightened by Yang Guang's question, and became nervous again, and said with a smile and a trembling voice: "The prince made fun of me, how can I recommend any general for the prince!" ”

"Destroying Nan Chen, although it only took less than 100 days, during this period, except for He Ruobi in Jiangshan with 8,000 men and horses to defeat Nan Chen's 100,000 horses, there has not been any decent big battles, but Xiao Wang has long heard of several famous generals in the Nanchen Dynasty, like Xiao Maha and Zhou Luoyu have now surrendered to my Great Sui, why should the Great Wall Gong resign, can you not believe Xiao Wang's sincerity in asking the Great Wall Gong to recommend good generals?" Yang Guang's eyes also became sharp, and he looked directly at Chen Shubao and asked.

"No, it's not like this......" Chen Shubao hesitated again and again, and finally dared to ask Yang Guang at first glance, "The person I recommend, does the prince dare to use it?" ”

"As long as you are a loyal and brave general who is good at leading troops, what dare you not use."

"Alas, I'm not afraid of the prince's jokes, like Xiao Maha and Ren Zhong, these people are all generals of my father's dynasty, and in my hands, I have only reused one Kong Fan, how can I know how to transfer troops and send generals. Don't embarrass me, prince. Chen Shubao smiled bitterly and pleaded with Yang Guangdao.

No matter how Yang Guang persuaded him, Chen Shubao was similar to Yang Su, and he always refused to recommend a general to follow Yang Guang to Fujiangnan, Yang Guang had no choice but to ask him to write a letter to Mrs. Xian and leave the Great Wall Mansion after saying goodbye to him.

"Lord Wang, why did I see that when Chen Shubao was talking to the prince, his eyes kept rolling, as if he was pretending?" As soon as he left the Great Wall Mansion, Guo Yan couldn't help but remind Yang Guangdao.

"Well, you're right. Have you noticed that Chen Shubao only has one sentence to tell the truth. Yang Guang rode on the back of the "Iron Hoof Dragon", turned his head to Guo Yan and cast an approving glance at him, and asked him.

"But 'The generals I recommend, does the prince dare to use them', this sentence?" Guo Yan blinked and guessed.

Yes, it was this sentence that gave me a glimpse of his scheming. You may not know that when Chen Shubao became the crown prince more than ten years ago, he was not an incompetent person: he took the helm of the 'Wild Goose's Nest', took the initiative to ask the Northern Zhou royal family for marriage, and reused Xiao Maha at the beginning of his succession to quickly quell the rebellion of Chen Shuling, the king of Shixing, all of which he had done. How could such a person be frightened into incoherence by a few words from me? ”

"What does the prince mean is that Chen Shubao is pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger?" Guo Yan blurted out.

"Pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger? Hehe, what you said is a bit interesting, let's ride a donkey and read the record book, and see how this Great Wall man pretends to be a pig and eats a tiger. As soon as Yang Guang lifted the reins in his hand, the "Iron Hoof Dragon" spread its four hooves, suddenly left Guo Yan behind, and ran forward.

"Lord Wang, where are we going, wait for me?"

"Go to the prison."

Although Dugu Tuo is the half-brother of Queen Dugu Jialuo, his official luck and financial luck have not been prosperous since the opening of the Sui Dynasty, and he is still the official in the position of the general of the right leading army, responsible for guarding the prison.

It stands to reason that being able to receive the messenger of guarding the heavenly prison is enough for Sui Gaozu Yang Jian to still have a high degree of trust in his wife and brother, otherwise he would not have been asked to be here for ten years without changing a second person.

However, for Dugutuo, it was also a painful and painful thing for Dugutuo to run the same mission for ten years, doing the same official position, and watching others make meritorious contributions, be promoted, and make fortunes one by one. In order to be able to change to a position that is easier to make meritorious contributions and be promoted, he ran to Zhengyang Palace and pleaded with his sister Dugu Jialuo, however, he met a strong sister who was extremely strict with his relatives, and he didn't give him face at all.

Let's compare it with Yang Su, who had a good personal relationship with him in the early years, in the early years of the emperor, he felt that his official position was slightly lower than Yang Su, but it was not much lower, but ten years have passed, although Yang Su was dismissed twice during the period, but now he has been officially resigned in the Shi Ling, and he is the Duke of Yueguo, which is a first-class important minister in the court, but he is still dealing with a group of prisoners, and continues to do this big cell head that seems to be very popular with the emperor, but in fact it is not high, and there is not much oil and water, how can this not make Dugutuo feel heartwarming.

Yang Guang took Guo Yan to the prison to visit Xian Hua'er, who had been detained here for ten years, and naturally he could not see Xian Hua'er with the consent of this uncle.

Because the New Year has just passed, there is nothing big in the prison, Dugu Tuo is in the prison in the duty room with several forbidden soldiers under his command to drink and chat to relieve boredom, I heard that Yang Guang is going to come to the prison to visit the prisoners, did not dare to put the elders' score, immediately ordered to withdraw the wine stall, with two sergeants personally greeted out of the prison door, as soon as he saw Yang Guang, he stepped forward and took his hand, looked him up and down, and said in a close tone: "Oh, my little Ah Zong, His Royal Highness the King of Jin, we haven't seen each other for several years, right, and now we are all so tall?" Quick, follow my uncle to the duty room to talk. With that, he pulled Yang Guang and walked towards the prison.

"Uncle, don't worry, I know the rules here, this is my father's permission to come here to visit Xian Hua'er, please check it." Before Yang Guang stepped into the gate of the prison, he specially took out a token from his arms and handed it to Dugutuo.

"Between us, do we still need this? Hurry up and go to the duty room with my uncle to warm up, and I'll ask someone to pick up the flowers. Dugu Tuo only glanced at the token, and then affectionately pulled Yang Guang towards the duty room in the prison.
