Chen Yingliang was expelled from the imperial city by Emperor Yang of Sui and went home to be punished, why did Chen Yingliang's political enemies not only hold a banquet to celebrate, but woke up from a dream and laughing? After the dispersal of the dynasty, even the imperial city has not yet come out, directly in the imperial city of the eastern capital, many Guanlong gate valve officials have been eager to cheer and jump, as early as Yang Xuangan's rebellion and Chen Yingliang had a holiday with the Duke of Shu Dugu heir smiled, and the old Li family, Dugu family with the same breath of Yu Shiqian smiled, Xiao Xiao's uncle Xiao Huaijing kept sighing to the members of Guanlong, "Evil has evil retribution!" Reap what you sow! The sky has finally opened its eyes once! ”

Unlike the smiling Guanlong gatekeeper, most of the emerging elite officials are not good-looking, because although Lai Hu'er and Chen Yingliang do not have much to do with them, they are both outstanding representatives of the powerful officials from Guanlong in the DPRK and Central China, and they are their role models, and they are their shields, bearing most of the political pressure from the Guanlong clique for them. At that time, I don't know if there will be new magnates who will be unlucky, and these emerging magnates who are not from Guan Long will have some sympathy for Lai Hu'er and Chen Yingliang.

The expression is also not good, there are several important ministers of Wen Xi Pei's family, Wen Xi Pei's family, who is heavy on literature and light on martial arts, finally produced Chen Yingliang, a military minister in the side branch, but now he suddenly fell, Pei Ju and Pei Yun and others will certainly not be in a happy mood, and Pei Hongce, who has the best relationship with Chen Yingliang, is even more so gloomy that he can almost get out of the water on the way out of the palace. After leaving the palace gate, Pei Hongce immediately whispered to Pei Ju and Pei Yun: "Two brothers, can Ying Liangxian's nephew hope to get away with it?" ”

Pei Ju, who was extremely deep in the city, had a rare grim face, and only said in a low voice after a while: "I can't judge it yet, the key is to see when His Majesty will be sulky?" If His Majesty can quickly dissipate his anger, then of course there is hope for Ying Liangxian's nephew, but if His Majesty's sullenness grows bigger and bigger, things will be difficult to do. ”

After that, Pei Ju turned his face slightly to Pei Yun, and said in a low voice: "Brother Xian, in this matter, you can't care about avoiding suspicion, you have to snatch the messenger who convicted Lai Zhuguo and Ying Liangkan, and try to delay the time, the longer the time, the more likely it is that Your Majesty will be discouraged, and we will also have time to move around, but if the time is urgent, Your Majesty may be impulsive." ”

Pei Yun nodded, Pei Ju just wanted to order Pei Hongce to secretly order Chen Yingliang to act in a low-key manner, but Pei Renji, who had never thought of rarely walking with the Pei family brothers, suddenly caught up, and while giving Pei Ju and Pei Yun a salute, he lowered his voice and asked: "Two brothers, Brother Hongce, Ying Liangxian's nephew is innocently punished, we can't stand idly by, do you want to contact the officials of the DPRK and China, and jointly guarantee a good nephew Ying Liangxian?" ”

Hearing Pei Renji's words, Pei Ju was silent, and Pei Yun's white and chubby face was also a little gloomy, but Pei Hongce was a little tempted, and echoed and asked if he would jointly intercede for Chen Yingliang? Pei Ju also seized the opportunity to vent, and said coldly: "Brother Hongce, if you want Ying Liang's nephew's life, then you can do it!" His Majesty is now angry, and with his temper, the more people who intercede for Ying Liangxian's nephew at this time, the more miserable his death will be! ”

"And." Pei Yun also said in a cold tone: "Brother Hongce, if you really feel sorry for your nephew who led us into the door, you'd better find a way to contact Ying Liangxian's nephew's old army department, let them stay honest, don't give outsiders an excuse to Ying Liangxian's nephew!" Especially the ****, there must be no accidents! ”

deliberately said the word 'outsider' very seriously, and then Pei Ju and Pei Yun, who were traitors, actually walked away, and deliberately didn't even look at Pei Renji, leaving Pei Hongce and Pei Renji, two cousins, in a daze, until Pei Ju and Pei Yun walked away, Pei Renji said to Pei Hongce embarrassedly: "Brother Xian, Brother Fool really didn't mean it, Brother Fool really doesn't know, at this time, the above table is to intercede for Ying Liang's nephew, it will be so unfavorable to the nephew." ”

Glancing at Pei Renji, who was full of embarrassment, Pei Hongce, who was almost scheming, suppressed his anger, whispered a sentence that the younger brother understood, and then walked away, leaving Pei Renji alone in the same place and secretly complaining, lamenting in his heart: "Brother Xian, you have to believe me, I really didn't mean to harm him this time, I just know that the two clan brothers attach great importance to him, and I want to try my best to pull him and take the opportunity to ease the relationship with the two clan brothers." What happened in the past two years has really made me understand what it means to break bones and connect tendons, what is called blood is thicker than water, and only my own family is the most reliable in the world. ”

inadvertently offended Pei Hongce, who was very close to the blood relationship, and even more angered the two backer brothers who were already looking at themselves unpleasantly, Pei Renji's depression in his heart can be imagined, plus Pei Renji, the Guanglu doctor, is an idle job with no real power, and there is nothing to do to stay in the imperial city after the dispersal of the dynasty, Pei Renji, who was in a bad mood, simply left the imperial city, but Pei Renji had just walked to the gate of the imperial city, but Xiao Huaijing, the uncle of Xiao Xiaoguo, chased after him, and said with a smile while greeting Pei Renji loudly: "Doctor Pei." , this is going home? It just so happens that the younger brother is also planning to go home, how about going to the younger brother's house to sit for a while? ”

"Thank you Xiao for your kindness, thank you for something." Bae In-ki, who was in a bad mood, refused.

"How about we go the same way?" Xiao Huaijing was not angry, she grinned and entangled Pei Renji, and followed Pei Renji back to Fujiaofang, and then under the pretext that she had never visited Pei Renji's house, she brazenly entered the gate of Pei's house uninvited, and then naturally, Uncle Xiao Guo of course proposed to have a drink with Pei Renji and talk about friendship together............

………………

In this scene, the depressed Chen Yingliang has also returned to his luxurious mansion in Lushunfang, according to the guidance of Laihu'er, after returning home, the first thing Chen Yingliang did was to order his family to close the main entrance facing the street, and only the small door in the square was allowed to enter and exit.

After sitting alone in the study for a while, the eldest grandson Xiao Luoli and Wang Xueji both came to the study to visit Chen Yingliang, and after meeting the two wives, Chen Yingliang was not polite, and said to the two wives with a smile: "Wuji, Xueji, there is good news for you, from now on, I don't have to go to the imperial city every day to work, I can stay at home every day to accompany you, are you happy?" ”

"The husband can stay at home to accompany us, and of course the concubine can't ask for it." The eldest grandson Xiao Luoli was very calm, and while pouring tea for Chen Yingliang, she comforted her softly: "Husband, the career is sinister, the ups and downs in officialdom are very normal, as long as you are fine, no matter how precious the wealth and glory are, there is no husband and your safety is precious." ”

"Sister Innocent is right, as long as you're okay." Wang Xueji also rarely showed a gentle demeanor, and while hammering Chen Yingliang's legs, she said gently: "I have discussed with Sister Wuzhi just now, even if you are dismissed from office, it doesn't matter, husband, we can sell the big mansion, change it to a small mansion to live in, and use the surplus money to live a good life." ”

"Yes, it seems that I am quite discerning, and the two daughters-in-law I am looking for are good." Chen Yingliang smiled very happily, hugged the two wives left and right, and one of them took a sip of incense, and said with a smile: "Originally, I was still worried that my official was dismissed, and the two daughters-in-law might not forget, it seems that I am really worried in vain." ”

The eldest grandson Xiao Luoli and Wang Xueji did not follow together, and joined forces to punish Chen Yingliang for their contempt, and they were happy, and in the end, the eldest grandson Xiao Luoli also cooked with a big belly, made a few small dishes for Chen Yingliang, and sent them to the room to give Chen Yingliang a drink, accompanied Chen Yingliang, who rarely had time to rest, to drink and relax, and fulfilled the duties of a good wife and mother.

It was almost in the afternoon, Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, Yuan Tiangang and the eldest grandson Wuji and other accomplice lackeys returned home, and saw that Chen Fuliang was drinking in the company of the eldest grandson Xiao Luoli and Wang Xueji, Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng and others were immediately happy, Fang Xuanling smiled and said: "Brother Xian, I will enjoy it, we are still worried that you will be sluggish on the way, I didn't expect you to be drinking with the two younger siblings, free and easy." ”

"What's free? The official was lost, and he just used wine to drown his sorrows. Chen Yingliang laughed heartlessly, and instructed the two wives: "Wuji, Xue Ji, go get some wine and food again, I want Brother Qiao Song and Mr. Xuan Cheng to cry together for drinking, sad that I lost power, and they are unlucky with me, see who cries first after drinking today." ”

Fang Xuanling and the others laughed loudly, and the eldest grandson Luoli and Wang Xueji pinched Chen Yingliang alone, blaming Chen Yingliang for being unlucky, and then went to cook together to prepare wine and food, and it was only after the two daughters left that Fang Xuanling said to Chen Yingliang: "Brother Xian, we only came back at this time, it was my arrangement, and after receiving the news that you were expelled from the imperial city, I immediately took Mr. Xuancheng and them out of the city to the right Wuwei camp, and told you about your situation to your old Peng department, as well as General Liu Changgong, and ordered them to stay honest in your honor, No action is allowed, and no mistakes are allowed in the army. ”

"Have you confessed to the national army?" Chen Yingliang asked.

"Of course there is." Fang Xuanling replied: "We came back late because General Guo and General Chen were a little impulsive and wanted to intercede for you together, and it took us a lot of time to explain the reason to them and calm them down. ”

"You still know my mind." Chen Yingliang sighed, arched his hand to Fang Xuanling and the others, and said with a smile: "Thank you, now I can finally rest assured, if the army can't hold back any problems, then I will call it really over." ”

Fang Xuanling and the others smiled modestly, saying that this was their own right, and then hurriedly asked Chen Yingliang what kind of bad luck he had fallen and suddenly lost power, Chen Yingliang carefully explained the before and after the matter, Fang Xuanling and the others suddenly realized, and then Wei Zheng, who was good at direct advice, frowned and said: "Our majesty, it's really ......, it's too much, the advice of coming to Zhuguo is also for the sake of his country, he can't listen to it, forget it, and he expelled the Zhuguo from the imperial city, and you are unlucky to be a general. Such a majesty xià ......, alas. ”

Fang Xuanling and Yuan Tiangang sighed in a low voice together, like Wei Zheng, they all completely lost confidence in Emperor Yang of Sui, only the eldest grandson Wuji asked worriedly: "Brother, do you have a chance to get away with it?" Will Your Majesty really add to your guilt? ”

Chen Yingliang was silent, and only after a while did he say: "Your Majesty is moody, and I don't know what he will do next, but fortunately, several of my backers are still there, and the possibility of losing his head is very small." ”

The room was quiet, Fang Xuanling, Eldest Sun Wuji and others had complicated thoughts, worried about Chen Yingliang and themselves, Chen Yingliang also began to think in his heart, if he was really pushed to the end, what should he do next? Is it to go to Li Jing or Fan Zigai? Or simply pull a team to be a thief and throw yourself into the warm and broad embrace of the peasant rebel army at the end of the Sui Dynasty? For a while, everyone was speechless.

At this time, the housekeeper Chen Laosan suddenly came to report, saying that someone was knocking on the door of the Chen family's street, and said that he must see Chen Yingliang immediately, Chen Yingliang, who was in an unhappy mood, categorically refused, but Chen Laosan said: "Childe, it is a girl who knocks on the door, she says that her name is Pei Cuiyun, she is your old acquaintance, please be sure to see her." ”

"Pei Cuiyun?" Eldest Sun Wuji's ears pricked up, Chen Yingliang's face began to be embarrassed, he thought about it for a while, and said helplessly: "Please invite her to the back living room, she saved my life, and I can't be too ruthless to her." Chen Laosan, who had never seen Pei Cuiyun, heard that someone had saved Chen Fuliang's life, of course, he immediately rushed out to greet the guests, Chen Yingliang confessed a crime to everyone, and went to the back living room to meet Pei Cuiyun, and the eldest grandson Wuji naturally immediately ran to the back house to tell his sister that his brother-in-law's junior came to hook up with Chen Fuliang again.

As soon as she entered the back living room, Pei Cuiyun came in under the personal guidance of Chen Laosan, the little girl's eyes were red, and there were tears on her face, as if she had just cried, Chen Yingliang, who was already a little ashamed of this little girl, was inevitably a little distressed, and said that the little girl was crying because she was unlucky, so she waved her hand to let Chen Laosan out, and said with a smile: "What are you crying about?" I was just expelled from the imperial city, and His Majesty has not issued an order to dismiss my officials, nor has he issued an order to kill my head, so it is unlikely that I will lose my head, so there is no need to be sad for me. ”

Tears slowly flowed down Pei Cuiyun's white and tender cheeks, and after choking for a long time, Pei Cuiyun suddenly said: "My father wants to harm you, my father colluded with a person named Xiao Huaijing, and is ready to kill you." ”

"What did you say?" Chen Yingliang asked in surprise.

"I said, my father colluded with Xiao Huaijing and was ready to harm you." Pei Cuiyun choked up and said: "Just now he brought that Xiao Huaijing home, I overheard their conversation, Xiao Huaijing encouraged my father to ask for your life, and also pointed out three ways to my father, the first is to ask my father to come forward and encourage Pei Zuoxiang to give up your side branch; The second is that my father came forward and pulled some civil and military officials to intercede for you, adding fuel to the fire and deliberately angering the emperor even more; The third is to let my brother, the instigated Right Guard army make trouble, force the emperor to reinstate you as an official, and let you die completely without a place to be buried. ”

Chen Yingliang's face became extremely ugly, and Pei Cuiyun sobbed again and said: "That Xiao Huaijing, still vigorously provoked the relationship between my father and you, and said about you and me, which made my father lose face, and my father couldn't take over as the general of the Right Wuwei, also because you inserted a bar, and said vigorously, last time you recommended my father to stay in the Eastern Capital, you wanted to deliberately embarrass my father, knowing that the more you stay, the more you can't do anything, deliberately let my father be demoted and fined, and then deliberately robbed the credit with only a few orders, I made my father completely shameless, and persuaded my father to take the opportunity to take revenge ....... ”

Chen Yingliang still didn't speak, but Pei Cuiyun cried even more sadly, choking up intermittently: "I already understand, after you returned to the Eastern Capital, you haven't been to see me, it's not that you forgot me, it's my father who is sorry for you, he can't compete with you in official positions, so he deliberately targets you, you don't go to see me, it's my father who forced ......." ”

Chen Yingliang twisted his face away, and admitted in disguise that there was indeed such a thing, Pei Cuiyun didn't say anything more, and gradually suppressed his crying, wiped the tears on his face, and choked up: "My words are finished, you take care of yourself, since my father has done something sorry for you, then the grievances between me and you, even if they are settled, I won't force you to do anything again, forget me." ”

After that, Pei Cuiyun really turned around and walked out of the door, but when she opened the door, Pei Cuiyun was taken aback - outside the door, there was already a young woman with a big belly. Seeing Pei Cuiyun's surprised appearance, the young woman smiled sweetly and said naturally: "Sister Cuiyun, get to know me, my name is Eldest Sun Wuji, and I am the wife of Brother Ying Liang, hello." ”

"Hello ......." Pei Cuiyun was a little at a loss.

"Sister Cuiyun, I heard what you and Brother Ying Liang said." The eldest grandson, Xiao Luoli, said gently: "Thank you for reminding Brother Ying Liang, you are a good sister, because of me, Brother Ying Liang failed to make a good couple with you, it was his bad luck ......." Hey? Sister, why do you have slap marks on your face? Who hit it? ”

Hearing the words of the eldest grandson Xiao Luoli, Chen Fuliang, who had always been silent, immediately rushed to Pei Cuiyun with an arrow step, and turned Xiao San to himself in front of his wife, and when he took a closer look, Chen Fuliang finally found that on Pei Cuiyun's left cheek, there was indeed a five-finger print that had not been exhausted. You quarreled with him, didn't you? ”

Pei Cuiyun's red and swollen eyes poured out of grievances again, and she couldn't help but throw herself into Chen Yingliang's arms, hugged Chen Yingliang and cried loudly, as a result, Chen Yingliang was inevitably a little embarrassed no matter how Chen Shimei was, and hurriedly went to see his wife timidly, and the eldest grandson Xiao Luoli made a cute grimace to Chen Yingliang, and said with a smile: "Don't look at me, I didn't see it, when I don't save it, I can comfort Sister Cuiyun." ”

Smiled embarrassedly at his wife, Chen Yingliang patted Pei Cuiyun's hair and whispered comfort, and even said that he didn't matter, he was not afraid that Pei Renji, Xiao Huaijing and others would make a ghost behind his back, and persuaded Pei Cuiyun to open some more, not to be angry with his biological father for such a trivial matter, so he talked for a long time, which finally made Pei Cuiyun quiet. It was also after Pei Cuiyun took the initiative to leave Chen Fuliang's arms with a red face that the eldest grandson Xiao Luoli took the initiative to take Pei Cuiyun's hand and said cordially: "Sister Cuiyun, talk about your affairs slowly, I will take you to see Sister Xue Ji and Brother Ying Liang's son." ”

"Brother Ying Liang's son hasn't been named yet, originally Sister Xue Ji and I both thought that Brother Liu and they took Chen Shimei was good, but Brother Ying Liang didn't know why, he just didn't agree ......."

Affectionately said, the eldest grandson Xiao Luoli simply pulled away Pei Cuiyun, who was already red-faced, but as a result, the daughter-in-law and the junior just left, Fang Xuanling and the eldest grandson Wuji and others immediately sneakily came out of the rockery and behind the flower beds in the courtyard, and the eldest grandson Wuji said Brother, you now know how good my sister is, Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng and others gave Chen Yingliang a thumbs up to Forsythia, and said with admiration: "In the end, it is a general, powerful, can make other girls quarrel with her biological father for you." ”

Chen Yingliang smiled embarrassedly, and then said in a low voice: "Uncle Pei Renji and Pei hate me, I have known this for a long time, but I really didn't expect that he would walk with Xiao Huaijing." ”

"Brother Xian, this is a good thing, a chance to get you away with it." Fang Xuanling said in a low voice: "You can take Miss Pei to see Pei Zuoxiang and tell Pei Zuoxiang what happened, Pei Xiang will definitely be furious, and then ask Pei Xiang to let His Majesty know about it, and His Majesty will be angry with Doctor Pei and Xiao Huaijing in a big rage, and if they are angry, the anger towards you will basically be eliminated." ”

When the eldest grandson Wuji, Yuan Tiangang and the others heard the applause, Chen Yingliang was silent, and suddenly said: "If I do this, Doctor Pei will die, and I will have no face to see Cuiyun Xianmei, who has a life-saving grace for me." ”

"Brother, why are you here again for the mercy of a woman?" When the eldest grandson Wuji heard this, he hurriedly said: "People don't hurt the tiger, and the tiger harms people's hearts......." ”

"Needless to say, I understand." Chen Yingliang waved his hand to interrupt the eldest grandson Wuji, and said: "I will leave Miss Pei for the time being, with her here, Doctor Pei will not dare to mess around, even if he really dares to collude with Xiao Huaijing, Miss Pei is also a witness who can put them to death at any time." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji reluctantly gave up persuasion, but he still didn't give up, so he asked again: "Brother, then how do you plan to avoid this catastrophe?" ”

"Wait and see, wait." Chen Yingliang replied: "My backers are still there, Your Majesty is moody, if you get angry today, you may be angry tomorrow, and His Royal Highness King Yue should also say a few words for me, as long as I wait honestly for a few days, there may be no hope of getting rid of my guilt." ”

"It doesn't matter if it's really completely relegated to civilianism." Chen Yingliang secretly said in his conscience: "Then I will go to Taiyuan first, help Fan Zigai first eradicate the remnants of the Li family there, let the old Li family completely lose the hope of making a comeback, and then pull a team to rebel and fight the world!" The silent Chen Fuliang immediately rushed to Pei Cuiyun's front with an arrow step, and pulled Xiao San to face him in front of his wife, and when he took a closer look, Chen Fuliang finally found that on Pei Cuiyun's left cheek, there was indeed a five-finger mark that had not been exhausted, Chen Fuliang analyzed it carefully, and immediately asked: "Is it your father who beat him?" You quarreled with him, didn't you? ”

Pei Cuiyun's red and swollen eyes poured out of grievances again, and she couldn't help but throw herself into Chen Yingliang's arms, hugged Chen Yingliang and cried loudly, as a result, Chen Yingliang was inevitably a little embarrassed no matter how Chen Shimei was, and hurriedly went to see his wife timidly, and the eldest grandson Xiao Luoli made a cute grimace to Chen Yingliang, and said with a smile: "Don't look at me, I didn't see it, when I don't save it, I can comfort Sister Cuiyun." ”
