Chapter 307: Kyoto Cleansing

As soon as the discussion in the palace ended, it was already dark, but Yang Guang was good, leaving dozens of ministers in the palace to eat. During this period, Empress Xiao also attended this light meal, and with the emperor and queen present, the ministers basically ate extremely carefully at a meal.

Only Chen Kefu saw Empress Xiao for the first time, but he felt that this woman was really like the legend, and she was so beautiful. But when I looked closely, I found that she was gentle and elegant, and there was always an indescribable elegance in her gestures. Between a smile and a smile, Bai Mei suddenly came to life. But this kind of flattery is not the kind of smoky flattery, a little less casual, but a little more noble and dignified, which makes people feel that they can only watch from a distance, but dare not play with blasphemy.

The rice is a light meal, but in Chen Kefu's view, it is extremely extravagant, a small table in front of each minister, all kinds of delicacies from the mountains and seas, and delicacies on land and water are like a marquee. Those young and beautiful palace girls, regardless of whether they eat or not, every once in a while, they will remove the jade plates on the table and replace them with all kinds of sè flavors, and even many dishes that have never been seen. What swan paw, whale meat, Luo Luofeng, white horse liver, orangutan chún cat fetus, bear paw sū, just no dragon liver phoenix pith.

Chen Kefu came to the Great Sui, and this was the first time he came to the Central Plains. In the past, when I stayed in Liaodong and was in the barracks, most of the bread I ate was dough, and it would be good if I could have another bowl of broth. Later, he finally became the emperor of Liaodong, with countless money and food, but the most he ate every day was only four or five dishes. Occasionally, a small banquet with the generals in the army is just a few more bowls and plates, a large piece of beef and mutton, or even a roasted whole sheep rǔ pig or something, I already feel that it is very rich. But now compared with Yang Guang's such a light meal, it is really like a dirt bun who has just entered the city.

Such a light meal reminded Chen Kefu of the buffet in later generations, but they had someone to serve him for this meal. Chen Kefu, who has not paid for such a rich and delicious dish for a long time, is not polite, no matter what kind of nose comes up, he always pays a few bites, and when the meal is over, the other ministers are still hungry because of caution, but only Chen Kefu has already feasted on his stomach.

After eating, Yang Guang thanked him for his kindness, and asked the palace to send the ministers out of the palace. As soon as he came out of the palace ban, the ministers finally felt relieved. Accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, not to mention that it is accompanied by Yang Guang, who wants to be the king. One bad thing is that they will be cut by a thousand knives like Yang Xuangan, and they were all forced to eat the human flesh of Yang Xuangan's brother. Even a close minister of the Son of Heaven like Yu Wenshu has been favored for decades, and now he is not in power.

"Congratulations to Liao Gong for his ascension!"

"Congratulations to Gong Chen!"

"Congratulations to the Duke of Tang, worship Xiang Qingyun!"

As soon as they left the palace, the ministers also began to rejoice Chen Kefu and others. Everyone has understood today's situation, and in the future, the DPRK and China will be the most expensive of the five phases such as Chen Kefu. However, Su Wei has always been a good man, and everyone doesn't think that Yang Guang will really rely on him much, at most, it depends on his qualifications, let him occupy the position of prime minister. Really who is the most expensive now, it is naturally Chen Kefu who not only occupies the position of the right minister, but also holds the soldiers and horses of the fifteen counties, and is also crowned as the generalissimo.

There were only eight marshals of the Great Sui March, and only a few princes served as generalissimos. Such a young man, such a favor, so that all the ministers are also busy coming over to make friends.

Li Yuan smiled and made peace with the ministers, and walked to Chen Kefu's side, "Breaking the army, why did such a thing happen as soon as I returned to the city today?" Erlang, this kid is too ignorant, I asked him to pick you up and then go back to the house, the house has already set up a banquet to prepare for you to pick up the wind, this kid actually took you to what restaurant. Are people alright? ”

Chen Kefu smiled and saluted Li Yuan, on one side were ministers in the same hall, and they were both prime ministers.

But on the other hand, Li Yuan is his quasi-father-in-law, and now that the meeting is gone, he naturally has to perform the junior salute. Today, Li Yuan's sudden promotion to worship the prime minister surprised Chen Kefu. However, he has the same vision as those ministers who have been up and down in officialdom for decades, and looking at Yang Guang's arrangement, he already knows that Yang Guang is just pulling him and Li Yuan up to restrain Yu Wenlang and Pei Valve, who are already sitting on the throne.

Su Wei and Yu Shiji, Su Wei is just an old fritter, grass on the wall, Yang Guang said one and he didn't dare to say two. Especially after being thrown to Liaodong for a year, I believe that there will be no objection to Yang Guang's words in the future. Yang Guang used him as the right phase, but he just set up a puppet, and with him, there was no need to give the most important right phase position to others. As for Yu Shiji, although he is also a close minister of the Son of Heaven, his family power is not strong, and most of the time, he belongs to the centrists, he is more behind the King of Liao, and he is generally impartial and not left for the battle between the court and the center. ,

In this way, among the five phases, only Chen Kefu, Pei Shiju and Li Yuan, but Li Yuan and Chen Kefu are both border ministers and are not directors of the DPRK. Therefore, Yang Guang suppressed Pei Que and Yuwen Valve and pulled them up, but he didn't want them to be in charge, but he just used it to restrain the two valves. Otherwise, Pei Shiju would not have been able to pay homage to the prime minister today. Let Yuwen Valve and Pei Valve be in the center, but let Chen Dongfu and Li Yuan be in the place, this is to let them slap each other's elbows and look at Li Yuan's smiling appearance, Chen Kefei is even a little jealous of him, and if he doesn't do anything, he can actually go all the way up.

Not only worship the prime minister, but also hold local power. His newly appointed post of Taiyuan is much heavier than the power of the original ambassadors of Shanxi and Hedong. Being an ambassador of consolation is nothing more than an inspection of the imperial history, with the right to observe, but not the direct right.

And now Taiyuan is left behind, but it is directly located in Taiyuan. Taiyuan used to be the hometown of Tang Yao, the famous city of the Warring States, the homeland of Taiyuan, the hegemony of the Northern Dynasties, the northern capital of the Heavenly King, the north gate of the Central Plains, and the important town of the Nine Sides. Yang Guang handed over such an important place to him, which was an incomparable trust in him. And Taiyuan stayed in a position, because Taiyuan is an important border town, so it also commands the army, although it cannot directly transfer troops, but nominally, the soldiers and horses near Taiyuan are under his control.

Chen Kefu is extremely envious, the location of Taiyuan is good, whether it is from Chang'an in Xijing or Luoyang in the east, it is not far away. As long as the world is in chaos, it is definitely a good place to fight for the world.

"Tang Gong, I have your trust and didn't take care of Xuanba!" Chen Kefu said in a low voice. For Li Xuanba, he really felt a little guilty. And the current situation, whether it is Yang Guang's intention, or the natural development of things, he has reached the opposite side of Pei Que and even Yuwen Valve Lou. It's not about beating their son, it's about their fundamental conflicting interests. He needed Li Yuan's ally now to help him buy him some more time.

Li Yuan sighed, "I've heard Erlang say this, Shiro burned his brain when he was sick, and he has always been clumsy. I can't blame you for this, this is his fate. It can be seen that you still take good care of their brothers, after Erlang came back, I almost couldn't recognize it, the whole person has changed a lot, mature people, wise, I am very pleased. God took away one of my sons, but made my other son more mature and sensible. Po Jun, I set the auspicious day for you and Sanniang on the eighth day of the first month of the next year, you are also an important minister in the court, and you have to go back to Mobei after the New Year, so the time is a little tight, don't blame it. Come back to the house with me, a banquet has been prepared in the house to catch you up. At the beginning, he agreed to marry his daughter to Chen Kefu, but he felt that Chen Kefu was a talent and had a good future. Moreover, there are no elders in his family, which is just suitable for some daughters, so you don't have to worry about her getting angry when she marries. But who would have thought that in a short period of time, Chen Kefu has now become an important minister in the court, and even the power is still above him.

"That's respectful, it's not good to obey my fate, Erlang is still in my house, and he and a few friends are a little small

Injured, I asked him to bandage in my house, and it just so happened that I went back to the house first and called Erlang together. Li Shimin and his group of friends were not as lucky as Chen Kefu, Chen Kefu and others were all generals in the army, so although they were attacked, no one was injured in the end. On the contrary, Li Shimin and Chai Shao and their gang, although they are also brave, but after all, they are not battle-hardened, in the melee, basically everyone is injured, Li Shimin was also stabbed in the back in order to take care of several cousins, but fortunately, the injury is not serious.

"Erlang is out of the way, right? Is the injury serious? When Li Yuan heard that Li Shimin was injured, he was also worried.

"Don't worry, a little skin injury, neither hurt the muscles and bones, nor ruined the appearance, don't delay in finding a beautiful daughter-in-law Yuan nodded" Then I will rest assured, after I return to the house, let Jiancheng and Yuanji bring a carriage to pick up, in which mansion?" ”

"It's right next to General Yuwen's Mansion!"

After talking to everyone a few more times, Chen Kefu turned around and went home, he was in a hurry when he came, and he went in the carriage sent by Yang Guang to deliver the decree. At this time, when I went back, I still drove back in the car arranged by the palace. Along the way, Chen Kefu found that it was just dark at this time, but the entire Luoyang City was already banned, shops were closed, homes were closed, and teams of guards patrolled the streets.

Even he saw at a glance that in addition to the Praetorian Guards on the street, there were actually many soldiers from the Outer Mansion who were originally stationed in Henan Mansion had also entered the city. The armor style of the teams was obviously different from that of the Praetorian Guards, and their shadows could be seen in every square and door.

Chen Kefu has three mansions in Luoyang City, the eastern capital, all of which were given by Yang Guang successively. And the place where he settled now is the largest and most luxurious. It was the Son of Heaven who remembered his contribution to pacifying Liaodong and rewarded him with the mansion of Yang Su, the original Duke of Chu.

This mansion covers an extremely large area and is extremely luxurious, and it is the most prosperous area in Luoyang City, which is the concentration of many princes and high-ranking officials in Beijing. As soon as the carriage stopped, someone had already come up to help him lift the curtain of the carriage. Chen Kefu jumped out of the carriage, but was surprised to find that it was a person in a purple robe with white hair who helped him lift the curtain, but it was Yu Wenshu who had just been discussing in the same hall.
