teamed up with Ling Chi Yang Xuangan and Li Zixiong such a perfunctory errand to go through the motions, and even let Chen Yingliang play a new trick, and also won a small fortune with this little trick, seeing these situations on the side, Chen Yingliang's two big backers Pei Ju and Pei Yun were inevitably a little surprised, and after exchanging a surprised look with each other, Pei Ju couldn't help but smile at Pei Yun: "Juzhi, our distant nephew, is very good at casting for the king." It seems that our brother needs to speed up his movements, and give this virtuous nephew a chance to experience in real work as soon as possible, and see if he can take on the big responsibility. ”

"Brother, don't be in a hurry." Pei Yun replied in a low voice: "Ying Liang, this kid is smart, but he is not calm enough to do things, too impetuous, he must be sharpened more before he can be entrusted with real power, otherwise, let him hold real power too early, it will only harm him, and maybe it will implicate our brothers." ”

has been in adultery with his brother wolf for many years, of course Pei Ju knows Pei Yun's gloomy personality and the very deep character of the city, seeing that Pei Yun actually gave such a bad comment to his distant nephew, Pei Ju was inevitably a little surprised, so he asked in a low voice: "What's wrong?" ”

"This little thing, who actually dares to meddle in Gao Shilian's affairs, is also for the sake of Hongce's face, if he were someone else, I would have beaten him into Gao Shilian's party a long time ago." Pei Yun snorted coldly, and whispered to Pei Ju about Li Yuan's conversation with him, and then said in a low voice: "In view of this situation, the junior brother thinks that we can't rush to place high hopes on Chen Yingliang, a kid, and we must look at his behavior again and again, and then decide whether to vigorously support him." ”

Pei Ju is better than Pei Yun in the end, and the depth of his scheming is also above Pei Yun, after glancing at Li Yuan in the distance, Pei Ju said in a low voice: "Brother Xian doesn't have to rush to this conclusion, don't forget, because of the matter of Ying Liang's virtuous nephew, Tang Guogong was reprimanded by the Son of Heaven in public, and his face was damaged, and he seemed to be suspected of provoking in his words, Brother Xian." ”

"This is also the most dissatisfied place for the younger brother." Pei Yun said with some annoyance: "I can't save face, it's human nature to be asked to intercede, I don't blame him." But this kid is so stupid that he leaks the rumors, and leaks the rumors into the ears of enemies with enemies, and acts so carelessly, can such a person have high hopes? ”

Pei Ju, who exonerated Chen Yingliang, was silent, because what Pei Yun said was indeed very reasonable-you can do things like going through the back door to catch prisoners, but you must keep it secret, but Chen Yingliang carelessly leaked the news to the ears of political enemies, and such a childish mistake is a little difficult to forgive. So after a little more calculation, Pei Ju nodded and said in a low voice: "Brother Xian is reasonable, for Ying Liangxian's nephew and nephew, we will first carefully observe his words and deeds, and then decide how to cultivate." ”

At this time, the civil and military officials had already completed the execution, and the two protagonists of Yang Xuangan and Li Zixiong had already been shattered, only the head was still alive in the wheel, but the torture was not over, and General Yuwen, who presided over the execution, ordered the corpses of Yang Xuangan and Li Zixiong to be split into pieces, and then the corpses were incinerated into ashes and scattered on the ground, leaving them completely soulless, which finally ended their punishment, and at the same time, Yang Xuangan and Li Zixiong's family members also ordered to be beheaded.

When the bodies of Yang Xuangan and Li Zixiong were still burned, Emperor Yang of Sui, who had long been lacking in interest, had already led his guard of honor back to the city, and the hundred officials sent it off, and then the executioner sprinkled the last handful of ashes into the sky, Yuwen Shu just ordered the execution to end, and the civil and military officials who had been standing for most of the day suddenly walked away, Pei Ju and Pei Yun brothers also rode back to the city, but today's situation is special, and the officials above the nine pins in Beijing have been called out of the city to participate in the execution, even if they return to the Yushitai, they are not unable to continue to work, Pei Yun, who has been extremely busy recently, also unexpectedly got a half-day vacation, and after inviting Pei Ju to sit at his house and was refused, Pei Yun also said goodbye to Pei Ju and led him calmly back to his home in Shanhefang.

Returning home does not necessarily mean that Pei Yun can get rest, as a big celebrity in front of Emperor Yang of Sui, Pei Yun, who holds the power of justice, discipline inspection and official selection, is naturally busier at home, and as soon as he arrived at his own door, several Beijing officials and foreign officials have already come to the front to nod and salute, Pei Yun also knew that these people would never dare to go to his door empty-handed, so he took advantage of a little free time, and met with these not important civil and military officials in the back hall one by one, and sent them home in a few words, At the same time, accept the meager hearts they bring.

It was also the poor little Zhengtai Chen Yingliang who was unlucky, when Pei Yun was meeting a foreign official from Xijun, a family member suddenly walked in in a hurry, and sent a secret message to Pei Yun, asking to speak in his ear, Pei Yun didn't care, first waved his hand to shut up the foreign official who begged for a transfer of position, and then motioned for his family to come forward and speak in his ear. The family saluted, and then said in a low voice: "Master, Lord Qin of the Criminal Department sent someone to report, and Gao Shilian's family entered the prison with the official documents left behind by the guard, and met with Gao Shilian. Because the Gao family had an official document in the hand that Wei Liushou allowed to visit, the warden did not dare to refuse, and Lord Qin was worried that Wei Liushou would intervene in this case, so he sent someone to report to you. ”

"Wei Xuan? How can it be? How could he get involved in Gao Shilian's case? ”

Pei Yun was stunned at first, and then suddenly became furious, and was so angry that he grabbed the teacup on the desk and fell to the ground, so frightened that the foreign official who came from hundreds of miles away to ask for an official fell to his knees, trembling and sticking his forehead to the ground, for fear that Pei Yun would use himself as a punching bag and sprinkle all the fire on himself. But fortunately, Pei Yun, who was very deep in the city, did not get angry indiscriminately, tried to calm himself down, and then instructed the foreign official: "Zhou County Order, today is over, you go down first, the official of the county promised you, try to try it for you, whether it is successful or not depends on your creation." ”

The foreign official thanked him and hurriedly said goodbye and left, but as soon as he left with his front foot, Pei Yun kicked over the case table in front of him with his back foot, and yelled loudly, "The mud can't support the wall!" Even dared to meddle in the old man's affairs, and dared to run to Wei Xuan's front and take the door, and pull Wei Xuan into the water, so respect that old stubborn man in his seventies and eighties, you will give the old man and that old stubbornness to go! The old man doesn't have a distant nephew like you! ”

Roaring, Pei Yun, who was furious, couldn't help but kick over another case, but he was still angry, and he couldn't get rid of it, so he couldn't wait to immediately pull the unfilial distant nephew in front of him and slap him seventy or eighty times. As a result, what Pei Yun didn't expect was that the heavens fulfilled people's wishes, and at this time, another family member outside the door came to report, and said in front of the door: "My lord, the prince's right deputy Chen Yingliang came to visit and begged the master to receive him." ”

"Tell him to! The old man doesn't have his nephew! Pei Yun, who was on the fire, roared angrily, so frightened that the heirloom Ding rolled and crawled, and he got up in a hurry and almost fell, but Pei Yun suddenly changed his mind and said viciously: "Let him in!" The old man wants to see what tricks this little brute is going to do today! ”

Tong heirloom Ding hurriedly took the order and left, leaving Pei Yun in the room to continue to sulk through gritted teeth, during which someone also came in to clean up the case that was kicked over by Pei Yun, but they were all scolded by Pei Yun loudly, and at the same time, Pei Yun, who was already angry, also made up his mind, "Finally, give Pei Hongce a face, if this kid really dares to intercede for Gao Shilian, don't blame the old man for turning his face and being ruthless!" ”

In this way, the poor little Zhengtai Chen Yingliang was directly led to Pei Yun, who was on the verge of madness, and saw the bits and pieces scattered all over the ground, Chen Yingliang was also taken aback, and hurriedly saluted Pei Yunji, who was facing away from him, and said respectfully: "Little nephew Chen Yingliang, meet Uncle Pei, Uncle Jin An." ”

Pei Yun, who was facing away from Chen Yingliang, didn't say a word, but slowly turned around with his hands behind his back, and what made Pei Yun crooked his nose on the spot was that Chen Yingliang actually brought a big package, or did he come here directly on his back, Pei Yun immediately had an urge to strangle his distant nephew for a while-there are still **** bribers like you in the world?!

In a fit of rage, Pei Yun didn't even bother to reward Chen Yingliang with a good voice, and directly roared: "What are you doing here?" Say! ”

Although he didn't know why Pei Yun was angry, Chen Yingliang, who had no fear, didn't care much, and just replied respectfully: "Back to my uncle, my little nephew is here to show his filial piety and want to give three gifts to his uncle." ”

"Don't dare to be!" Pei Yun said angrily: "The old man is an honest official, and he never accepts bribes from others, take your gifts back, and the old man will not accept them!" ”

"For the integrity of the officials? Then don't accept Pei Hongce's gift last time. Chen Yingliang muttered in his heart, but said respectfully: "Uncle, of course the little nephew knows that you never accept bribes from others, but the three gifts of the little nephew are not bribes, the little nephew is bold, and I also ask the uncle to listen to the three gifts after the little nephew finishes, and then decide whether to accept the filial piety of the little nephew." ”

"What do you mean?" Pei Yun was slightly flustered, and a little curious, so he said, "Okay, you say, are those three gifts?" ”

"Uncle Xie." Chen Yingliang thanked him, and then said loudly: "The first gift of the little nephew's filial piety is to hear that the Pei family is rich in the world, and the family property has doubled!" ”

"What?" Pei Yun was completely stunned, and blurted out, "What did you say?" ”

"Uncle forgive the sins, little nephew uàn 嵩俳馐ting! Back sweep α self Song Song Gong hugging the bag⊥ penalty throwing the devouring gear rout target ≈ satin 14.Bed Fu Oyster is a gift that the uncle's name will go down in history for thousands of years, and after a thousand years, the uncle's reputation for benefiting the world must still be recited by 10,000 people1

Glancing at Pei Yun, who had been stinking for thousands of years in later generations, Chen Yingliang said in a deep voice: "The third gift of the little nephew's filial piety to his uncle is that his uncle has made great achievements for the Great Sui Imperial Court. ”

He looked at his distant nephew for a long time, and found that the distant nephew with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes had clear eyes, his face was extremely solemn, and his expression was by no means a joke, Pei Yun gradually forgot the anger in his chest, and finally opened his mouth and ordered: "Get up, talk carefully, how do you honor my three gifts?" ”

………………

Because of the relatively sufficient time, when Chen Yingliang returned to his home in Yiyangfang from Pei Yun, it was still relatively early, and because Chen Yingliang had been thinking about major events in his heart, when he entered the door, Chen Yingliang simply didn't find that the eldest grandson brothers and sisters had been guarding the door of his house to greet him, until the eldest grandson brothers and sisters stopped in front of him and said hello, Chen Yingliang came back to his senses like a dream, and hurriedly returned the salute and said: "Brother Xian, Guanyin, don't care, I was thinking about something big, so I was distracted and didn't see you." ”

"It's nothing, it's just that our brother and sister shouldn't bother our brother." Naturally, the eldest grandson Wuji wouldn't mind such a trivial matter, but hurriedly asked Chen Yingliang: "Brother, you said before that you went to Doctor Pei to intercede today, I don't know what the situation is?" ”

"It's ......." Chen Yingliang was a little embarrassed, and wanted to tell the truth, but he was afraid that he would miss a more important matter, so he could only smile bitterly and said: "Don't hide it from the virtuous brother, it's not that the foolish brother doesn't do his best, it's that the foolish brother's face is too small, and Uncle Pei can't look down on it at all." ”

"Doctor Pei, he refused?" Eldest Sun Wuji's face turned pale.

"I didn't say no." Chen Yingliang replied vaguely: "It was the foolish brother who just mentioned this matter, and the uncle immediately issued an eviction order, and then the foolish brother wanted to insist, but the uncle walked away directly, and ordered the subordinates in his family to kick me out of the house." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji was struck by lightning, and immediately stood on the spot, and the eldest grandson Xiao Luoli was full of tears, almost crying on the spot, Chen Yingliang felt a little guilty, and hurriedly comforted: "Virtuous brother, Guanyin, don't worry, there is no endless road, I promised you to help, and I will help to the end." You wait for me for another day, tomorrow I will go to see Uncle Pei, the Duke of Li Guo, Uncle Pei is the best for me, I will go and ask him to come forward and try to save your uncle from prison. ”

"However, what if Li Guogong doesn't agree?" The eldest grandson, Xiao Luoli, finally shed tears.

"Don't worry, Uncle Pei, he will definitely agree." Chen Yingliang hurriedly went to wipe Xiao Li's tears again, and comforted: "Uncle Pei treats me like a parent, I go to beg him, he will definitely give me this face, he is the same brother of Dr. Pei, Dr. Pei will not give him a little face no matter what." ”

Xiao Xiaoli nodded, but there was not much hope in her expression, Chen Ying couldn't bear it in her conscience, so she comforted softly: "Guanyin, don't worry, your uncle will be safe, I promise you, no matter what you think, I will definitely help to the end." Believe me, and in a few days I will be able to get your uncle out of prison. ”

To put it mildly, Chen Yingliang finally asked the desperate eldest grandson Xiao Luoli to hold back her tears, and let the eldest grandson brothers and sisters sit at his house, but the eldest grandson brothers and sisters are already six gods and no master at the moment, and they have no intention of going to Chen Yingliang's house to sit, just choked up and thanked Chen Yingliang for his kindness, and then hurriedly said goodbye and left. It was only after the young brothers and sisters walked away that Chen Yingliang's face showed a little smile, looked at the carriage where the eldest grandson brother and sister left, and said: "Brother Xian, little sister Guanyin, I'm sorry, because there is still something important to do, I have to lie to you once." Don't worry, within tomorrow, I will definitely ask Uncle Pei to promise to raise your noble hand to your uncle. ”

………………

What the poor little Zhengtai Chen Yingliang probably never dreamed of was that the eldest grandson brother and sister did not directly return to Longzhengfang to report to the rest of the Gao family, but came to the Zhengfang first, looking for his friend Li Shimin to inform the news, and at the same time, because of today's execution of Yang Xuangan, Li Yuan, who had nothing to do, also happened to be at home, and the details of Chen Yingliang's answer with the eldest grandson brother and sister were also relayed to Li Yuan in the original form.

"Refused?" Li Yuan's expression was obviously a little surprised, and he asked in surprise, "Why?" Didn't Chen Yingliang vouch in front of your brothers and sisters, saying that he would definitely be able to move Dr. Pei to raise his noble hand? ”

"Deputy Chen said that Dr. Pei didn't give him face at all." The eldest grandson Wuji said in tears: "As soon as Vice President Chen spoke, Dr. Pei brushed his sleeves away, and asked his family to drive Vice President Chen out of the house, without giving Vice President Chen a chance to intercede. ”

"It's strange if you don't drive it away, the fire that the old man teased in front of Pei Yun the day before yesterday was it for nothing?" Li Yuan sneered in his heart, but his face showed embarrassment, as if he was very embarrassed, and said: "This thing is not easy to do, Doctor Pei will not let go, even if the old man comes forward to intercede for your uncle, it will be difficult to get the effect ......." ”

"Uncle! Please! The eldest grandson Wuji and the eldest grandson Xiao Luoli knelt down to Li Yuan together, crying loudly, begging desperately.

"Shimin, pick up Mowgli and his sister." Li Yuan sighed, first asked Li Er to pick up the eldest grandson brother and sister, and then said: "Virtuous nephew, virtuous niece, you don't have to be anxious, your uncle still has hope, and your uncle will definitely do his best to rescue him, you go back first to comfort your aunt and grandmother, and leave the rest to me, I will figure out a way." ”

"Thank you, uncle." At this point, the eldest grandson Wuji couldn't tell whether Li Yuan's words were true or false, so he could only say with tears in his eyes: "Uncle, Vice President Chen also promised to continue to try to rescue the little nephew's uncle, he will go to see Li Guogong tomorrow, and ask Li Guogong to come forward, the life and death of the uncle and the little nephew's family all depend on you and Vice President Chen." ”

"Do you want to ask Pei Hongce?" An imperceptible light flashed in Li Yuan's eyes, Xuanji returned to normal, and then comforted the eldest grandson brothers and sisters with kind words, and it took some effort to send the crying eldest grandson brothers and sisters away.

personally sent off his friends and brothers and sisters, and when Li Er returned to Li Yuan, Li Yuan immediately instructed Li Er: "Shimin, you change into civilian clothes, and immediately go to the house of Doctor Feng Deyi, and ask him to arrange for an official under his command to come forward and act according to the plan, and tomorrow morning the court will impeach Chen Yingliang for bribing court officials on behalf of Gao Shilian, exonerating Gao Shilian, and disrupting the court." ”

"Do it tomorrow? So fast? "Li Eryi Zheng.

"Gotta hurry." Li Yuan replied: "Didn't the eldest grandson Wuji say just now, Chen Yingliang's kid will go to ask Pei Hongce to come forward tomorrow, although with Pei Hongce's character, it is unlikely to agree to this matter, but Chen Yingliang has saved Pei Hongce's life twice after all, we have to prevent Pei Hongce from agreeing to this in case, so we have to hurry up tomorrow, so that Chen Yingliang's kid will no longer have room for dying struggle." ”

Li Er suddenly realized, and quickly nodded in agreement, Li Yuan told again: "Remember two things, first, you must point out the details of Chen Yingliang's gifts for bribing the courtiers, and second, you must not point the finger at Wen Xi Pei's family, all the spearheads must be pointed at Chen Yingliang alone, so that Wen Xi Pei's family will not dare to excuse Chen Yingliang." How to impeach, you and Feng Deyi discuss it, and he will understand what I mean. ”

"No, the boy will go at once."

Li Er agreed, and when he turned around to leave, Li Yuan suddenly stopped his son again, and then hesitated, Li Yuan gritted his teeth and said: "For the sake of safety, you sue Feng Deyi and ask him to arrange for Si Li to drive Su Shichang to be this wicked person, and come forward to impeach Chen Yingliang." ”

"Su Shichang?!" Li Er was a little surprised, and said, "Father, will this make a big fuss?" Su Shifang is Yuwenshu's sworn enemy, the last time he impeached Yu Wenhua and Yu Wenzhi and violated the ban, traded with the Turks, and caused Yu Wenhua and Yu Wenzhi to be deprived of a qiē official title, and directly demoted to slaves, he has formed a mortal enmity with Yuwenshu, let him come forward to impeach, it is likely to pull Yuwenshu into the water? ”

"Yuwenshu doesn't dare to wade into this troubled water." Li Yuan smiled lightly: "Chen Yingliang bribing the courtiers is an ironclad fact, in order not to pull Pei Yun into the water, he can only obediently carry this big black cauldron alone, at that time, Yu Wenshu will naturally not dare to mix casually, and he will be suspected of taking revenge for personal gain, and then coupled with Su Shichang's reputation of not being afraid of the powerful, Chen Yingliang will only fall even worse." ”

Li Er suddenly smiled and said, "Father is smart, I believe that when I hear the news of Chen Yingliang's bad luck, my brother-in-law will definitely drink the three jars of wine." ”
