Chapter 7 Solemnly declared

The day after Yang Yu'er's incident, the dry food to eat on the road was also prepared, and Chen Yingliang decided to set off for Liaodong the next day.

Chen Laosan still didn't want Chen Yingliang to go to the Liaodong battlefield to take risks, no matter what Chen Yingliang said, Chen Laosan was crying and crying to stop it, until Chen Yingliang said that the Chai family was going to settle accounts with him after the autumn, and Chen Laosan, who was really good for Chen Yingliang, agreed to Chen Yingliang's departure with tears, and also expressed his willingness to go to Liaodong with Chen Yingliang.

Chen Yingliang declined Chen Laosan's kindness, Chen Laosan is too old, and it is thousands of miles away to go to Liaodong, and walking with Chen Yingliang not only can't help, but also becomes a drag on Chen Yingliang, so Chen Yingliang just left Chen Laosan ten yuan to live, and said that once he settled down, he would immediately find a way to take Chen Laosan to his side, and he would bring Chen Laosan living expenses to the worst of his ability, so that Chen Laosan, who was crying darkly, agreed to stay in Daxing.

Out of prudence, Chen Yingliang, who had decided to take revenge on the Chai family, had to tell Chen Laosan, saying that if someone from the Chai family came to inquire about his whereabouts, he wanted Chen Laosan to sue the Chai family, saying that he had gone to Sichuan to join his grandfather's old ministry to seek development, and also fabricated a place name, a name and a relationship to teach Chen Laosan, Chen Laosan remembered with tears, and agreed to Chen Yingliang's other request, and when he could not get by and contact Chen Yingliang again, he sold or rented out the last small mansion of the Chen family, and waited for Chen Yingliang's return alive.

When it was dark, Fang Xuanling came to Chen Yingliang's tattered courtyard with wine, saw Chen Yingliang off, and also gave Chen Yingliang a letter of recommendation with a promise.

In history, whether Fang Xuanling has been so important to others, Chen Yingliang really doesn't know, but when he can get such selfless help from the famous Fang Xuanling without any benefit to the other party, the gratitude in Chen Yingliang's chest is still indescribable, so he can only pick up the wine brought by Fang Xuanling himself, and said: "Brother Qiao Song, don't thank you for your great kindness, if the younger brother has a bright future in the future, this great kindness, the younger brother will definitely repay it a hundred times!" Borrow flowers to offer Buddha, please! ”

"Brother Xian is polite, it's just a gesture, why thank you?" Fang Xuanling smiled modestly, lifted the tattered wine bowl provided by the old Chen family, and said, "Come, brother Xian, I wish you a smooth sailing and great success on your trip to Liaodong this time, do it!" ”

"Thank you, brother, for doing it!" Chen Yingliang agreed with a smile, and drank all the thin wine in the bowl with Fang Xuanling, full of pride.

After working with Fang Xuanling for three bowls in a row, he said something like taking care of each other, and asked Fang Xuanling to take care of Chen Laosan on his behalf, Chen Yingliang suddenly asked: "Brother, this time my uncle plans to recommend you to Liaodong as an official, because your sister-in-law is pregnant, you can't go, so what does my brother plan to do in the future?" With my brother's talents, wouldn't it be a pity to live so idle for a long time? ”

"One step at a time." Fang Xuanling is a person who is at ease with what he encounters, and replied with a smile: "Although Brother Wei also has some ambitions in his heart, he does not have that kind of opportunity to display his ambitions, and he does not have the courage to go out and dare to find an opportunity to get ahead on the battlefield of Jin Ge Iron Horse, so Brother Wei plans to plan now and then move, first watch the world in the Daxing Capital, and wait until the opportunity arises, and then make a decision." ”

"I remember that you are Li Er, who took refuge in Chang'an after Li Yuan raised troops, and his ability to see people and seize opportunities is good." Chen Yingliang muttered in his heart and said secretly: "It's a pity, you will only sit at home and wait for the opportunity, and you don't dare to go out to find the opportunity, so it is the life of Li Er as a deputy." ”

After muttering, Chen Yingliang took the opportunity to say something that had been brewing for a long time to Fang Xuanling, and said: "Brother, then the younger brother has a sentence that I want to ask you, if one day in the future, my brother can get ahead and open a government office, I wonder if my brother is interested in going to the younger brother's shogunate to show his strength and ambitions?" ”

Fang Xuanling almost didn't laugh out loud, and said in his heart that my virtuous brother is really interesting, and now he is still relying on my recommendation to join the office, so he has already begun to think about the staff issue after the opening of the government and the establishment of the government, and he also wants me to serve in his shogunate, this far-sightedness is far too much, right? Secretly laughing, Fang Xuanling smiled and said, "Brother Xian, you can't help but think too far, right?" The positions of the chief book and the secretary recommended by the foolish brother for you are not only seventeen or eight levels away from the opening of the mansion. ”

"If a person has no foresight, he will have near-term worries. A talent like my brother is something that can be met but not sought. Chen Yingliang replied with a smile: "The younger brother only wants to ask the elder brother for a word now, if the younger brother can really have the day when he can open the government and build the shogunate by himself, and the official position of the elder brother is still under the younger brother, dare to ask the elder brother to agree, and he must serve in the official office of the younger brother at that time." ”

"Well, the foolish brother will promise you today." Fang Xuanling agreed with a smile and said: "If the virtuous brother really has the day when the mansion is opened, and the virtuous brother will not dislike being a brother and a shallow learner, I will definitely serve under the younger brother's account." ”

"High fives for vows." Chen Yingliang was able to inch in, and simply raised his palm, Fang Xuanling smiled, and reached out to slap Chen Yingliang's palm hard.

"A boy with such big ambitions, I really don't know if it's right or wrong to recommend you to be an official." Fang Xuanling muttered in his heart.

"That's all we can do." Chen Yingliang also sighed secretly in his heart, "With my current situation, if I ask Fang Xuanling to come with me and recognize me as the boss, maybe he will be slapped with a big ear, and he can only bury an introduction first, and talk about it later." ”

The next morning, it was also the early morning of the fifth day of June in the ninth year of the Great Sui Dynasty, the Daxing City Gate had just opened, Chen Yingliang said goodbye to Chen Laosan, who had been dependent on him for many years, and set off on the road.

…………

On the morning of the fifth day of the sixth lunar month, this Chen Yingliang's once honorary old man has been jumping his right eyelid non-stop, always feeling that something is wrong there, but he doesn't know that something is wrong there.

After noon, this feeling of uneasiness became even stronger, because after entering the palace on duty, when Chai Shen led a large group of family members home to enjoy the thirteenth concubine of Xinna, many people suddenly pointed at Chai Shen on the road, whispering, mostly with a look of wanting to laugh but not daring to laugh, Chai Shen was confused about this, almost thinking that he was wearing the wrong clothes, or that he had accidentally got some stains on his face.

What made the Duke of Cheshire even more puzzled was still behind, entering the Taipingfang neighborhood where the powerful lived, Chai Shen bumped into Pei Xin, the deputy leader of the prince in the political arena, for this greedy and lustful colleague with great ambitions, although Chai Shen was not afraid, but he didn't want to offend the Guanlong family behind him too much, so he arched his hand on the horse as usual and was ready to ride by, but what Chai Shen didn't expect was that Pei Xin, who was usually arrogant with family power, didn't know what medicine he had taken wrong. actually took the initiative to stop Chai Shen's horse and chatted politely with Chai Shen.

Pei Xin and Chai Shen chatted and said all nonsense, the only thing they talked about was something that had been agreed in the palace two days ago, Chai Shen secretly laughed at Pei Xin's memory of being eaten by dogs, and suddenly found that Pei Xin's eyes were full of smiles, and he smiled so much that he even narrowed his eyes, and the smile was strange and mysterious, as if he had just encountered something unspeakably happy, obviously he had already laughed in his stomach, but he couldn't laugh out of his voice, he was uncomfortable, painful and happy.

Dongyi hammer and Xiyi chatted for a long time, until Chai Shen himself couldn't stand it and asked to leave, Pei Xin led his entourage to say goodbye and leave, but after the two teams went away from each other, Chai Shen seemed to hear Pei Xin's inexplicable burst of laughter, so that Chai Shen couldn't help but look back at the situation, and when he saw Pei Xin's team flying away, Chai Shen couldn't help but curse in his stomach, "Sick!" Got the wrong medicine? ”

After being delayed by Pei Xin, when Chai Shen returned home, his son Chai Shao, who was also on duty in the palace today, had already found a step, and came to the gate to greet Chai Shen, and personally put Chai Shen off the horse, and before he could enter the door, Chai Shao directly whispered to Chai Shen: "Father, things seem to be a little wrong, when the child came out of the palace, someone was pointing at the child on the way home, and kept snickering. ”

"What? Are you in this situation too? Chai Shen shook his head, and then he was just stunned for a moment, and hurriedly lowered his voice and asked, "Is it that the matter between us and the Chen family has been publicized?" Didn't I have repeatedly ordered the servants in the house not to mention this matter? ”

"Probably not." Chai Shao replied: "Xiuning has already analyzed it just now, if the slave in our house accidentally leaks his mouth, this matter will only spread slowly, and it is impossible to publicize the matter to everyone at once, and it is impossible to spread it so quickly." ”

"Could that be the rumor spread by the poor boy surnamed Chen?" Chai asked vigilantly - this is also what the Duke of Cheshire is most worried about.

"Probably isn't it?" Chai Shao was also a little unsure, and replied: "If that poor boy wanted to publicize the matter, he would have done so long ago, why wait so long?" Besides, we and the Chen family don't have a marriage letter written in black and white, just with a piece of jade pendant, even if that poor boy publicizes the matter, how many people can believe it? ”

"That's just as well." Chai Shen thought about it carefully and found that with Chen Yingliang's current family situation and personal status, it was indeed not easy to spread the news of the divorce quickly and make people believe it, and even if Chen Yingliang did this, it would be impossible to hide it from the eyes and ears of the Chai family in the capital during the period of spreading the news, so Chai Shen quickly vetoed this idea.

After a little calculation, Chai Shen instructed: "Send someone out to inquire and see if there are any rumors on the market that are unfavorable to our Chai family." Again, after a while, find a way to get rid of that poor boy, and get rid of the troubles forever, but remember, keep it a secret. ”

"Understood." Chai Shao nodded, and said with a hideous expression: "Father, don't worry, the child will personally take action this time to solve that poor and hard bastard boy, and never give him a day to get ahead!" ”

"Brother-in-law! Brother-in-law! ”

While speaking, a fast horse suddenly rushed from the end of the street, yelling at the Chai family father and son from a distance, and ran directly to the side of the Chai family father and son before reining in the horse, Chai Shen and Chai Shao, who were about to enter the door, turned their heads to look, but unexpectedly found that the horse rider turned out to be Chai Shao's brother-in-law, the second son of Tang Guogong Li Yuan, and Li Erlang, who was only fifteen years old - the big name is Li Shimin.

"Erlang, why are you so anxious?" Chai Shao asked in surprise.

Li Shimin didn't answer, but quickly whipped off his horse, rushed to Chai Shao, lowered his voice and asked, "Brother-in-law, does Sister Qian'er have a family affair for marriage?" ”

"What?" Chai Shao was startled at first, then quickly came to his senses, shook his head and said, "Then there is such a thing?" Erlang, don't listen to the nonsense of outsiders, your sister Qian'er is still in the boudoir, so what is the family matter of marriage? ”

"No?" Li Shimin was also puzzled, and said suspiciously: "Then why did someone post a solemn statement with unique words on the notice board outside Yanping Gate to inform the whole city, announcing the dissolution of the marriage contract with Sister Qian'er?" also said that he had a nose and eyes, as if it was true, which made half of Daxing City a sensation. ”

"What?!" Chai Shao and Chai Shen screamed like pigs killing pigs at the same time, "That poor boy, posted a notice to warn the whole city? ”

"Yes!" Li Shimin nodded and said quickly: "The younger brother listened to what the family said, and I heard that there was already a sensation on the Yanping Gate, and the people who watched the excitement were crowded, and the younger brother's family wasted their good energy, so they squeezed in and saw it from afar." ”

"Let's go! Go to Yanping Gate now! Chai Shen Cheshire Gong did not hesitate, immediately rushed to the mount he had just ridden back, stepped on the stirrup between the horses and almost fell, the family came up to help, but was kicked away by Chai Shen. Over there, Chai Shao also got on the horse quickly with a blue face, and rode to Yanping Gate, where Daxing commerce and trade were most concentrated, with Li Shimin and Chai Shen.

Almost flew to the door of Daxing Yanping, where the business and trade are developed and the flow of people is huge, the area of the notice board is really crowded with people, crowded with men, women and children who are watching the excitement, among which there are quite a lot of powerful families wearing servant uniforms, and some people read the content of the notice aloud, so that the illiterate people know the situation, and the laughter continues to rise and fall, and the voices of the people are boiling to the extreme.

Seeing this scene, the face-loving Chai Shen father and son were simply white-faced, and quickly turned over and dismounted, and rushed to the notice board to check the situation, but the front of the notice board was already surrounded by water, and the Chai family father and son could rush directly to the front? In a hurry, Chai Shen and his son simply used a horsewhip to open the way, but as a result, the people who were whipped by the horsewhip were not happy, and asked one after another: "Who are you?" Why hit us? ”

"Bold, don't you give way soon?!" Suddenly, the powerful family in the crowd shouted, "This is the Duke of Cheshire, and the eldest prince of Chai Shao, dare to block their way, you want to find death?" ”

"So it's the Duke of Cheshire?" The beaten people turned their anger into joy, and hurriedly retreated to give way, giving way with a smile on their faces, and the other people were also screaming, and they retreated one after another, and in the blink of an eye, they gave way to the Chai family father and son on a road that went straight to the notice board.

"Oh no, how is it from the Yuwen family?" Chai Shen and Chai Shao both recognized that the Ding who shouted was the family of Yu Wenshu, an important minister of the Sui Dynasty, and they suddenly complained in their hearts, knowing that this matter must have passed into Yu Wenshu's house. But now, the father and son of the Chai family can't care so much, but they hurriedly rushed to the notice board to check the situation, but it was okay not to look at it, and at a glance, the lungs of the Chai family father and son were almost angry.

There is a large brand-new notice on the notice board, the regular script is neat, with punctuation marks that have never been seen in this era, and the text format is completely different from the ordinary notices of this era, the title is the Chai family father and son have never seen in their lives 'solemn statement' four big characters, the content is:

"I, Chen Yingliang, the grandson of Chen Wandi, the former Xuchang County Gongchen, the Daxing family of the Great Sui, live in Qingshi Street, Datongfang, Daxing Nancheng, and hereby solemnly declare as follows: First, I dissolved the marriage contract with Chai Qian, the daughter of the Duke of Julu County and the Duke of Chai Jungong of Julu County, not that the Duke of Cheshire dislikes the poor and loves the rich, and is willing to recognize the marriage contract made by the old lady Chai and his grandfather, and refuses to marry his beloved daughter Chai Qian to marry the fingertips, but I voluntarily dissolve the marriage contract, divorce the daughter of the Duke of Cheshire, and let me marry again, and never regret it!

Second, Chai Shao, the son of the Duke of Cheshire, came to the door to withdraw from the marriage, forced me to hang himself in an attempt to commit suicide first, and beat me later, which is really a love for my sister, not relying on the strong to bully the weak and oppress the poor, which I understand very well, so I will never account for this matter, please rest assured that Chai Shao Gongzi.

Third, for the sake of face, the Cheshire father and son plan to kill me after the limelight is over, but it is just a folk rumor, and I believe that the Cheshire father and son will never be so ruthless.

The authenticity of the above information, I am willing to bear the responsibility of the law, the details can be consulted by my neighbors, there will be a satisfactory answer, and welcome all artists to include their stories in the book, adapted into opera, storytelling, drama, opera or dance drama and other literary and artistic programs to communicate and disseminate, I will not charge any copyright fees, nor will I pursue copyright responsibility. It is hereby declared that the declarant, Chen Yingliang, the former future son-in-law of the Duke of Julu Cheshire. ”

"Bastard! Piff! The old man wants your dog's life! ”

Roaring, Chai Shen's lips and whole body trembling with red eyes, stretched out his hand to pull the notice, but unfortunately Chen Yingliang deliberately pasted the paper notice very tightly with paste, and after more than half a day, it had already been glued to the bulletin board, and Chai Shen could tear it down? After trying a few times to no avail, Chai Shen simply pulled out a knife in his hand, and slashed the bulletin board with a knife, and Chai Shao, who also had blood-red eyes, also drew his knife and slashed without hesitation, but the onlookers of Daxing soldiers and civilians were laughing loudly.

"This Chen Yingliang is really ruthless! Even if the Cheshire Princesses are wrong, you don't need to make things like this, do you? Chen Yingliang's first impression on Li Shimin was this.

"Brother Ying Liangxian, you are really ruthless." Fang Xuanling in the crowd smiled bitterly and recalled: "However, it is quite ingenious for you to add those dots and circles in the text, and it is so convenient to read." ”

"Smash this bulletin board for me, burn it to ashes, and don't have anything left!" This is Chai Shen's roar before he faints, "Catch that rabbit cub for me again, the old man will split him with his own hands!" ”

By the way, although the Chai family burned this bulletin board to the point that there were no ashes left, what made the Chai family's father and son so angry was that that night, on the seven gates of the outer city of Daxing, Chen Yingliang's solemn statement was pasted and copied! As for who ordered the transcription of the original text, and ordered it to be posted on the notice board of the city gate of the seven gates of the outer city of Daxing, the father and son of the Chai family couldn't find it. At the same time, when the prince was the deputy of the left of the emperor, Lord Pei Xinpei could swear to the sky that although he really wanted to remove the damn word 'deputy', he didn't want to use such a method.

It doesn't matter who fell into the ground, the important thing is that the already great reputation of the Duke of Cheshire and his son is now a complete sensation, and the sensation is so great that the Duke of Cheshire and the Prince of Chai Shao have to take leave for several days in a row - they dare not enter the imperial city to see the strange eyes of their colleagues. At the same time, after Chen Yingliang went to central Sichuan from Chen Laosan's mouth, the Cheshire Duke sent a large number of private soldiers, led by Chai Shao himself, to chase and kill along the various roads into Sichuan, saying that he would arrest Chen Yingliang, the unscrupulous son-in-law who ruined his reputation, and chop it into meat sauce with his own hands!

Also, correspondingly, Chen Yingliang, one of the parties involved, also became famous because of this incident, and Magpie played the point where Chen Yingliang's fiancΓ©e Chai Qian, who had never met, gritted her teeth, "Dog thief!" When the old lady catches you, she must cut you to death one by one!! ”
