"How do I explain to the soldiers? How can I explain to the soldiers?! What can I do? What can I do about this?! ”

Like the generals of the Wei Mansion such as Laihu'er, Chen Yingliang and Yun Dingxing, after listening to the question of the reduction of the reward relayed by the son-in-law, the treacherous Wang Shichong's face also changed greatly, and he wailed on the spot, crying and wiping his tears, and complained to Chen Yingliang: "Virtuous son-in-law, you are also the general of the Right Wuwei, an important minister of the court, why don't you open your mouth to oppose it?" The reward for soldiers has been cut, which calls us to lead troops to fight in the future? How do we get soldiers to work for us? ”

"Open your mouth against it?" Chen Fuliang smiled bitterly and said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty opened the golden mouth, even Yuwen Zhuguo, Rong Guogong, Old General Feng and Old General Qu Tu did not dare to advise and dissuade me, I, a junior who only became a general yesterday, do I have the courage to stand up and be the first bird?" Father-in-law, don't you want me, my son-in-law, to even meet your grandson before he has time to meet him, so he just falls to the ground? ”

Wang Shichong's expression was even more mournful, and he asked desperately after a while: "How much reward will be reduced?" It can't even be as good as the rewards of ordinary wars in peacetime, right? ”

"It's not agreed yet." Chen Fuliang replied helplessly: "Your Majesty asked Yuwen Zhuguo to lead a few of us to renegotiate the reward, and then report to the imperial court for discussion when the results are obtained, Yuwen Zhuguo still has important things to do today, and it may take a day or two to discuss." ”

"Virtuous son-in-law, then you have to fight for some rewards for the soldiers." Wang Shichong hurriedly said: "Virtuous son-in-law, you are also a person who leads the troops, you should know what the soldiers under your command are working hard for, right?" If this military merit reward is low, it will chill the hearts of the soldiers, and it will be difficult to govern in the future, not to mention, maybe it will cause a mutiny! ”

"Father-in-law, rest assured, the son-in-law will naturally do his best." Chen Fuliang comforted, and said in a low voice: "Father-in-law, the son-in-law came to inform you of this matter today, in addition to letting you have a psychological preparation, and then there is to ask you to do your best to restrain the army, don't let the army spread any rumors, let alone let the soldiers under your command make trouble, this is the eastern capital of Luoyang, and His Majesty the Emperor is also in the city, if the soldiers under your command make trouble here, what will be the consequences, I believe there is no need to remind the son-in-law." ”

Wang Shichong, who is good at sycophancy, of course understands this powerful relationship, and while nodding again and again, Wang Shichong also comforted his son-in-law and said: "Don't worry, father-in-law, I am still a little confident in governing the army, as long as the reward is not too strict, I will be sure to restrain the army, the big deal is to secretly promise the army, and next time there is any war, the soldiers will not have to hand over the spoils." ”

Chen Yingliang also nodded, and he did have some confidence in Wang Shichong's ability to govern the army, but at this time, Wang Shiyun and Wang Renze, father and son, suddenly rushed into the big tent in a hurry, and Wang Shiyun shouted as soon as he entered the tent: "Brother Xian, something bad is wrong!" There is an army outside the city that is making trouble in the camp, and there is a possibility of mutiny! Hey, why are you here, nephew-in-law? When did it come? ”

"That army is making trouble in the camp?" Chen Yingliang's face turned white, for fear that it would be the right Wuwei or his own Peng Yan to make trouble.

"Zuo Tunwei!"

Wang Shiyun's answer made Chen Fuliang breathe a sigh of relief, and then Wang Ren asked with a puzzled face: "Cousin-in-law, I heard that there was trouble in the Zuotunwei camp, because there were rumors among the soldiers that there was no reward in this Yanmen battle, and the soldiers surrounded the generals to seek justice, and the Yanmen battle was not rewarded, is it really fake?" ”

"How did the news spread so quickly?" Chen Ying's conscience was even more shocked, and his mouth denied it: "Nonsense! Who said that the Battle of Yanmen did not give a reward? Don't spread rumors and shake the morale of the army! ”

Reprimanded his brother-in-law without distinction of dignity and humility, Chen Yingliang hurriedly turned to Wang Shichong and said: "Father-in-law, the son-in-law must immediately go to the Youwuwei camp and the Qian Peng camp to stabilize the hearts of the army, so as to prevent them from being affected by the disturbances in the Zuotunwei camp, and you also immediately ordered the whole army, declaring that there is no such thing and prohibiting the spread of any rumors!" ”

The matter is very important, Wang Shichong did not dare to slack off, and quickly nodded in agreement, Chen Yingliang hurriedly out of the account, led a few entourages to beat horses and went straight to the nearby Qian Peng camp, after arriving at the camp of the Qian Peng Sui army, Chen Yingliang did not even have time to enter the camp, directly in front of the camp loudly declared that the Yanmen Battle was not rewarded is pure rumors, and asked the Qian Peng soldiers to wait patiently for the court to award rewards, and not to listen to and spread rumors at will, to avoid shaking the morale of the army, and then hurriedly ordered Ma Sanbao and Kan Liang and other generals to carefully restrain the team and appease the soldiers, Then he rushed directly to the right guard camp in the distance.

When leaving the camp of Qian Peng and rushing to the camp of the right guard, Chen Yingliang happened to pass by the camp of the left guard, and saw that the gate of the camp of the camp was indeed closed, the whole camp was under martial law, and many soldiers gathered together, Chen Yingliang couldn't help but be more anxious, and hurriedly urged the horse to go straight to the camp of the right guard. But fortunately, when Chen Fuliang rushed into the camp of the right guard, the camp of the right guard was quite calm, although the soldiers also got together in twos and threes to talk in a low voice, but there was no large number of soldiers in the camp of the left guard, and at the same time, Liu Changgong and Xie Zichong and other generals had also hurried to the camp to take precautions, and they immediately met Chen Yingliang.

As soon as he got off the horse, of course, Chen Fuliang was immediately surrounded by a large group of old comrades-in-arms who had killed the enemy side by side many times, and the soldiers of the Right Armed Guard, who had a deep relationship with Chen Yingliang, did not even have time to ask the question of reward, and rushed to congratulate Chen Yingliang, congratulating Chen Yingliang on finally becoming the first person in the Right Armed Guard with the full support of his own people, Chen Yingliang accepted the congratulations of his old friends, and couldn't wait to say: "I am here for the matter of Zuotunwei, and the Yanmen Battle will not give a reward, it is purely a rumor, and it is never credible!" You have to believe in His Majesty the Emperor, believe in the imperial court, and you can't believe rumors and ruin your future! ”

Relying on the residual prestige of the previous army, coupled with the good reputation of the army, Chen Yingliang's words deceived all the right military guards present, and the right military guards were relieved, and they also scolded those hooligans who spread rumors indiscriminately, and then Liu Changgong and Xie Zichong, at the request of Chen Yingliang, personally went to all battalions and armies to refute the rumors, stop the spread of rumors, stabilize the morale of the army, and also asked the right military guards to wait patiently for the imperial court to award the reward, and Chen Yingliang sent someone to contact Yun Dingxing to understand the situation. While entering the tent of the commander of the Chinese army, he waited for Liu Changgong and others, preparing to hold a meeting by the way.

Liu Changgong and others have not come back to refute the rumors, but Chen Yingliang's oldest lackey accomplices came to the Chinese army's big tent to ask for a meeting - these lackey accomplices are, of course, Guo Feng, Chen Ci, Zhao Yu and others who reported ****. As soon as Chen Yingliang heard the great joy, he naturally summoned him immediately, and personally picked up Guo Feng, Chen Ci and Zhao Yu, and asked for warmth to understand their recent situation, while Guo Feng and Chen Ci and others had no mouth to congratulate Chen Yingliang, and the joy was overflowing and heartfelt. It was also at this time that Chen Yingliang discovered a strange situation and asked, "What about Pei Xingyan?" Why didn't he come? ”

Guo Feng, Chen Ci and the others quieted down, and they all wanted to talk a little and stopped, until Chen Yingliang asked again in doubt, Guo Feng reluctantly squeezed out some smiles, and said, "He was a little uncomfortable, so he didn't come." ”

Chen Yingliang's face changed slightly, and he immediately guessed the reason why Pei Xingyan didn't come to see him, Zhao Yu over there hesitated again, and said hesitantly: "General, there are some things that we don't know whether to say or not......." ”

"If you have something to say, just say it, they're all old brothers, and you don't need to be polite in front of me." Chen Yingliang replied with a smile.

Chen Yingliang was hearty, but Zhao Yu's expression was even more hesitant, and he exchanged a few glances with Guo Feng and Chen Ci, you pushed me a few times, and then attached it to Chen Yingliang's ear, whispered one thing, and then explained: "General, originally we didn't believe it, but the Xingyan brothers said that this is what his father saw and heard with his own eyes and ears in today's morning court, and we were born and died with him I don't know how many times, we knew that he was a person who didn't tell lies, so we ......." ”

Chen Yingliang was silent, Guo Feng saw that Chen Yingliang's face was not good, and hurriedly said: "Chen Ji room, don't worry, we didn't publicize it to the soldiers, when Zuo Tunwei made trouble, a few of us immediately stood up to refute the rumors, saying that with you, the reward we deserve will definitely not be less money, and it will definitely be as usual, line up one by one to award rewards in public, and will not deduct one of their eldest sons." ”

"Thank you." Chen Yingliang nodded and said softly: "Don't worry, I will definitely do my best to fight for rewards for you, and I will not let you be wronged." ”

I don't know how many times I have lived and died together, of course Guo Feng, Chen Ci and others believed in Chen Yingliang's promise, they all nodded again and again, and Chen Fuliang said again: "Brother Xingyan, don't worry about him, I know that he is a straight temper, he did this is not his intention, he was forced to do it helplessly, I will also pretend not to know about this matter, so as not to make it difficult for you." ”

Guo Feng and Chen Ci and the others agreed again, Chen Yingliang also forced himself to forget the unhappiness in his heart, patted Chen Ci's shoulder and smiled: "Captain Chen, this time the thief chief was captured by you personally, your reward must be the heaviest, and you will definitely not be able to run away from the promotion, you said yourself, what kind of official position do you want, I will try my best to fight for you." ”

"Official titles, whatever the court gives, what the last general wants, I don't dare to fight for the last general." Chen Ci was as gentle as ever, and said with a smile: "In fact, as long as you can continue to be with the old brothers who serve the country, and continue to listen to orders under your account in the book, the last general will already be very happy, and it is better than any reward for the last general." ”

"What a humility." Chen Yingliang said with a smile: "Then don't regret it, don't say it yourself, when I discuss your reward with Yuwen Zhuguo and the Ministry of War, if I get you an unsatisfactory reward, don't blame me." ”

"The last general will not dare." Chen Ci hurriedly surrendered his hand, and then remembered one more thing, so he said: "Chen Ji, the official position is rewarded, and the last general really doesn't dare to be too extravagant, but the last general has a small matter, and I want to ask you to help." ”

"Say, I'll do my best." Chen Yingliang agreed.

"That's right." Chen Ci said: "I have a fellow villager, sixteen years old this year, and the last general, is also an official, because the family road is unsustainable, even difficult to eat, he and my monk brother Chen Yi since childhood friends, went to the Pure Land Temple to join my brother, my brother persuaded him to become a monk, he is unwilling, want to rely on a fairly good Wenmo to find an official messenger, the future to seek a development, yesterday my brother came to visit me in the camp, by the way to me told me about it, want to ask me to help ....... ”

"It's a trivial matter, no problem." Chen Yingliang said with a smile: "Okay, it's okay to ask him to come directly, and let your brother bring him to find me, I'll arrange a position for him, and it just so happens that there is a shortage of scribes under my account." By the way, I am now staying in the Li Guogong Mansion, Li Guogong of the Xiuye Workshop, he can go there directly to find me and report your name. ”

Chen Ci heard the great joy, and hurriedly thanked Chen Fuliang for his younger brother and friend, Chen Fuliang wanted to casually ask the name of the person recommended by Chen Ci, but his relatives outside the account hurriedly came to report, saying that there was an inner servant to the right Wuwei General's Mansion, and Chen Yingliang was summoned to enter the palace immediately to meet him, Chen Yingliang, who was anxious to appease the army's heart, heard the bitterness, but he was helpless, fortunately, Liu Changgong had returned to the big tent at this moment, Chen Yingliang had to quickly explain that Liu Changgong stayed in the camp, continued to appease the army and stop the spread of rumors, and at the same time paid close attention to the movements of Zuo Tunwei, Then hurriedly bid farewell to Guo Feng and Chen Ci and others, beat the horse and ran directly back to the imperial city to see the driver.

"If Emperor Yang of Sui already knew about the Zuotunwei riot, it would be troublesome, and if it wasn't good, countless heads would fall to the ground. However, it seems that it is not bad to let Emperor Yang of Sui know about this matter, at least he can give him a wake-up call and put some pressure on him, anyway, it is Yun Dingxing who is unlucky, not me. ”

With this complicated thought, Chen Yingliang hit the horse and returned directly to the palace of the right Wuwei general, first met with the palace attendants who were waiting impatiently, and arranged for Dugu Sheng to sit in the camp to prevent accidents, and then with the attendants hurriedly entered the palace, and was directly led to the Jicui Pavilion next to the Ningbi Pond, Emperor Yang of Sui was reading the chapter in a warm pavilion next to the Jicui Pavilion, next to the sad Queen Xiao, and Chen Yingliang's nemesis Uncle Xiao, Chen Yingliang did not dare to slack off when he saw it, and quickly saluted respectfully, and said: "Weichen Chen Yingliang, Knock to see the emperor's majesty, knock to see the queen's mother. ”

"Why are you here now?" Emperor Yang of Sui seemed to be in a very bad mood, and asked, "How far is the Great General of the Right Wuwei Mansion from the palace?" Why is it so late? ”

"Weichen went out of the city to the right guard camp to handle military affairs, so he came late." Chen Yingliang explained, and hurriedly asked for sin: "Let Your Majesty wait for a long time, Weichen deserves death." ”

"So that's the case, then forget it, let's get even." Emperor Yang of Sui still had some appreciation for Chen Yingliang's conscientiousness, and forgave Chen Yingliang's belated sin in one sentence, and asked: "Li Yuan's son and son-in-law, why did you stop you outside the imperial city gate today to make trouble?" ”

"So that's it." Chen Fuliang was both relieved and a little disappointed, and hurriedly reported what happened in front of the imperial city today, and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen has repeatedly stated that he is not an official of the Three Law Divisions, and he does not dare to participate in this matter beyond his authority, but Shimin Gongzi and Chai Shao have always been entangled, Chai Shao also threatened Weichen with suicide, but Weichen still did not dare to agree to intercede for them for Tang Guogong. ”

"That's pretty much what I know." Emperor Yang of Sui nodded, and asked again, "Li Yuan's son and son-in-law, why are they pestering you?" ”

"Your Majesty, it may be the last time outside the city of Daxing, which made them have illusions about Weichen." Chen Yingliang replied respectfully: "More than two years ago, Chai Shao and his father joined forces to frame Weichen, but Weichen repaid his grievances with virtue, and in turn begged His Royal Highness the Emperor of His Majesty to forgive them. Shimin Gongzi and Chai Gongzi may just think that Weichen will repay his grievances with virtue again, so they are entangled with Weichen. ”

Emperor Yang of Sui showed some smiles and asked with a smile: "Now you know the fate of being a good person, right?" ”

"Wechen knows." Chen Yingliang nodded hurriedly, and said with a wry smile: "But Your Majesty forgive me, Weichen still wants to be a good person this time, and I want to ask you for mercy." ”

"For whom do you intercede?" Emperor Yang of Sui asked quietly.

"Intercede for Chai Shao." Chen Yingliang knelt down and said respectfully: "In this Yanmen battle, Chai Shao killed a lot of enemies, and his achievements were not small, and he played a key role in defrauding the golden arrow of the thief chieftain for Weichen. ”

After that, Chen Yingliang hurriedly kowtowed, his attitude was very sincere, but Emperor Yang of Sui continued to remain silent, and suddenly asked, "So, do you plan to intercede with me on behalf of Li Yuan?" ”

Peeked at Empress Xiao and Uncle Xiao Guo, and seeing that their expressions were a little nervous, Chen Yingliang said, "Weichen doesn't dare." If Tang Guogong was only targeting Weichen this time, then Weichen could intercede for him, but this time he was not only targeting Weichen, but also indirectly endangered King Qin's major affairs, Weichen was a great bold, and he didn't dare to plead for him. How to send down Tang Guogong can only be convicted by the state, and the saint will judge it himself, and Weichen has no right or the courage to participate in this case. ”

Emperor Yang of Sui was silent, and Uncle Xiao Guo next to him said cautiously: "Your Majesty, Tang Guogong was confused for a while, and he did make a big mistake, but there was no consequence of the guidance, and please ask Your Majesty to investigate." ”

Emperor Yang of Sui's gaze was like a knife, and he stared at Uncle Xiao Guo at once, staring at Uncle Xiao Guo so much that he was sweating profusely, and his feet were a little trembling, but fortunately, Empress Xiao next to him spoke in time and said softly: "Your Majesty, the younger brother of the concubine is just stating the facts, even if there is anything wrong, please forgive him for his gaffe." ”

"It's nothing to forgive him, but if you want me to forgive Li Yuan, it will be extremely difficult." Emperor Yang of Sui said coldly: "In order to fight for merit, he prevented merchants from selling grain to Chen Aiqing's Qinwang army, completely ignoring my safety, if such a crime is not investigated, who will care about my safety in the future?" ”

Li Yuan's most unfortunate thing this time was also this, so that even Empress Xiao, who had a deep relationship with Emperor Yang of Sui and his wife, did not dare to distinguish for him, so she could only plead softly: "Your Majesty, Tang Guogong's move is indeed a crime that deserves death, but he is still quite hard to fight in the subsequent Qinwang war, hard work, and considerable merit, and please give him a chance to make meritorious service and atone for his sins." ”

Emperor Yang of Sui's face was gloomy, and his heart was also hesitant, after hesitating for a long time, Emperor Yang of Sui suddenly said to Chen Yingliang again: "Chen Aiqing, you just said that you didn't have the courage to intercede for Li Yuan, and now I give you this guts, even if you say the wrong thing, I don't care, you say, are you willing to intercede for Li Yuan?" ”

The ball was kicked in front of Chen Yingliang as Li Er expected, Chen Yingliang was really hesitant and embarrassed, and only replied after a while: "Your Majesty, Weichen doesn't know whether to intercede for Tang Guogong, as the queen said, Tang Guogong did make a lot of contributions in the Qinwang war, and his hard work was high. ”

"But Weichen doesn't want to intercede for Tang Guogong." Chen Yingliang also added with a slippery head: "Since ancient times, the monarch has been a minister, the monarch is worried about the humiliation of the minister, the monarch is humiliated and the minister is dead, the Turks besieged His Majesty in the city of Yanmen, but Tang Guogong does not focus on the overall situation, in order to steal the merit and secretly sabotage the affairs of King Qin, endangering the safety of His Majesty. ”

"Therefore, Weichen is in a dilemma, and he doesn't know if it is time to intercede for Tang Guogong." Chen Yingliang lowered his head and said very treacherously: "If Your Majesty must give Weichen an answer, then Weichen is bold, and I want to ask Your Majesty to give Weichen a few days to let Weichen think about it carefully." ”

Emperor Yang of Sui's face was calm, and he nodded after a while and said: "You are right, I am as embarrassed as you, if I don't kill Li Yuan, it will be difficult to eliminate the hatred in my heart, but if I kill him, I am a little sorry for his hard work, and I am like you, I don't know what to do." ”

"Your Majesty, you might as well compromise it." Uncle Xiao Guo trembled and said: "Demotion and remove Tang Guogong from office, so that you can not only punish Tang Guogong's mistakes, but also reward Tang Guogong's merits." ”

"Xiao Aiqing, my brother-in-law." Emperor Yang of Sui made Uncle Xiao Guo's face change with one sentence, and said coldly: "If someone tries to take your life, I will give him the punishment of demotion and dismissal, are you willing?" ”

Uncle Xiao Guo sweated like pulp, and when he heard that Emperor Yang of Sui was still dissatisfied with Li Yuan's almost death, he suddenly didn't dare to say anything, and Emperor Yang of Sui said again: "It seems that you are unwilling, since even you are unwilling, then why do you want to do this?" ”

Uncle Xiao Guo didn't dare to breathe, and Emperor Yang of Sui waved his hand and said, "That's it, Li Yuan continues to be imprisoned, Rong Zhen thinks about it carefully, and then decides what to do with him." ”

"陛xià." Empress Xiao said timidly: "Chen Aiqing is the coach of King Qin, and he is the party concerned, you might as well listen to his opinion again." ”

"Okay." Emperor Yang of Sui finally gave his wife a little face, pointed at Chen Yingliang and said, "Chen Aiqing, didn't you say that you need to think about it?" I give you a few days to think about it, and then decide whether to intercede with me or not for Li Yuan. ”

…………

"Queen Xiao, this is not a pockmark, it's not called a pockmark, it's called a pit person. insisted on pulling me into Li Yuan's case, this clearly wants to force me to intercede with Li Yuan, Guan Longba everyone is in the same spirit, sharing honor and disgrace, if I persuade Yang Guangzai to kill Li Yuan, isn't it equivalent to offending Guan Longba's family at the same time? ”

"Originally, it was nothing to be a favor, and if you don't kill Li Yuan, you can guarantee that history will not change greatly, but Emperor Yang of Sui's bear temper is there again, in case he suddenly hates Li Yuan to death and wants to chop him with a knife, I will intercede for Li Yuan again, don't I use a hot face to stick to his cold ass? Finding sin for yourself? ”

Walking out of the palace with a complicated mood, he had just returned to the lobby of the Great General Youwuwei's mansion, and Chen Yingliang, who was working hard, was immediately stopped by Huangfu Wuyi, and then Huangfu Wuyi said directly: "General, Yuwen Zhuguo just sent someone to spread the word, tomorrow will not go to the early dynasty (the Sui Dynasty is two days and one dynasty), Yuwen Zhuguo decided to hold a meeting in the Zuo Yiwei General's Mansion tomorrow morning to discuss the matter of reward, and asked you to be present." ”

"Tomorrow morning? In such a hurry? Chen Yingliang was taken aback at first, and then understood that it must have been forced by the Zuo Tunwei riot, and if the matter of military merit reward is not dealt with quickly, the army will cause more trouble under the nose of Emperor Yang of Sui, and Yuwenshu, the first person in the military, will have to go around without food.

Understanding the reason why Yuwenshu was in a hurry to hold the meeting, Chen Yingliang inquired about Zuo Tunwei's situation again, and learned that Zuo Tunwei's riot had subsided, and then Chen Yingliang didn't dare to slack off, so he had to follow Laihu'er's request, and quickly led his entourage straight to Shangshutai, and went to his distant uncle Pei Ju to inquire about the state treasury, so as to make every effort to fight for the rewards that King Qin's soldiers deserved, but what greeted Chen Yingliang was a desperate answer............ Empress Xiao spoke in time and said softly: "Your Majesty, the younger brother of the concubine is just stating the facts, even if there is anything wrong, please forgive him for his gaffe." ”

"It's nothing to forgive him, but if you want me to forgive Li Yuan, it will be extremely difficult."
