"Hey, man, have you heard? Chen, the eastern capital who is now in charge of our Daxing, stayed behind, and there was a strange thing when he was a child. ”

"What miracle? Let's hear it. ”

"I heard that when Chen stayed in Changxingfang, Daxing City, was born in one night, the house was full of red light, and it could even be seen on the small wild goose pagoda in Anrenfang next door, and his neighbors at the time thought that his house was on fire, so they hurriedly took water and stabbed it to put out the fire. Later, a master heard about this, and went to see Chen Liushou's face, and then the master immediately knelt down and knelt down three times and knocked nine times, got up and left, Chen Liushou's parents asked the master why he did this, and the master said that the heavenly opportunity should not be revealed, and Chen Liushou's parents should also keep it secret, and it must not be spread outside, otherwise it will cause the disaster of annihilation! ”

"Is there such a thing? Nonsense, right? Isn't Chen's home in Datongfang? How did you get to Changxingfang? ”

"Are you stupid? When Chen Liushou was born, his family was not defeated, he lived in Changxingfang at that time, and then his family was defeated before he moved to the poor fang of Datong, you don't know? ”

"I really don't know, it's unheard. Wait, the red light on the ground when Chen stayed behind when he was born, isn't this an out-of-phase auspiciousness? Could it be that Chen stayed behind him ......? ”

"Shhhhhh You know, our brothers have a good relationship, so I quietly told you, don't spread the word when you go out. ”

"Yes, yes. But brother, it would be nice if this thing was true, you see how good it is for us after Chen Liushou took charge of Daxing, those harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes have been exempted from countless people, and labor can be exempted as much as possible, don't mess around with any pomp, with him to govern Daxing, we at least don't have to worry about being caught by officials at any time to work the construction site, much stronger than when the emperor was in the past, this Chen Liushou is ....... ”

Similar rumors are widely circulated in Daxing City, but Chen Fuliang can swear by touching the few remaining consciences, this kind of rumors are definitely not deliberately fabricated or instructed by him to spread, and at the same time, in order to stop the spread of such dangerous remarks, Chen Fuliang also arranged a special person to be responsible for refuting the rumors and prohibiting the spread of these rumors, but what makes Chen Fuliang very angry and helpless is that similar rumors are spread faster and faster the more they are banned, the more they refute the rumors, the more evil they spread, and even the nonsense that there is a dragon in the well of Chen Fuliang's old house in Changxingfang has come out.

This is not over, on the day of February 15, there are still people who do not know where to get the colored bird feathers, on the Vermilion Bird Street to stop Chen Fuliang's car to offer auspicious rui, Leng said that this is the feathers that fell from the phoenix, the phoenix fell on the dragon head plain to be seen by the treasure donor, the feather was picked up by the treasure donor, and sent to Chen Fuliang's front to ask for merit.

Chen Fuliang asked his soldiers to beat the treasure giver on the street, the reason was to curb this momentum, and the second was that the unlucky treasure donor's fart slapped on the horse's leg, and just happened to meet Chen Fuliang's extremely bad mood, and sent it to the door to Chen Fuliang as a punching bag, otherwise, Chen Fuliang would not have beaten him at least - Chen Fuliang knew very well who was behind these things, and he was secretly grateful in his heart It was too late, and naturally he would not have been ruthless to crack down.

There are many reasons for Chen Fuliang's bad mood, first of all, the first point is Yang Yuer's pregnancy problem, and Chen Fuliang is worried, Chen Fuliang himself is willing to use medicine to kill the child in Yang Yuer's belly, but Yang Yuer resolutely refuses to do it, and would rather take the risk of secretly giving birth in the harem than give up the seeds of evil that Chen Fuliang planted in her, but the paper can't contain the fire, even if Miyagi is now controlled by Chen Fuliang's confidant Chen Ergou, even if Jiang Cairen can secretly shelter for his daughter and grandson, Sooner or later, there will be a day when the news will leak.

The second is the issue of position, after inadvertently saying the wrong sentence and sending the wrong signal on the night of the Lantern Festival, Yuan Ji returned to the eastern capital angrily the next day to tell the in-formant, and all kinds of direct or obscure persuasion remarks also poured towards Chen Fuliang like a mountain of seas, and the gates of Guanlong, who had stood on the wrong side when Li Yuan's rebels entered Daxing, have used various channels to persuade and encourage Chen Fuliang to follow Li Yuan's example of abolishing Emperor Yang of Sui and establishing a new emperor, and they also directly understood that Chen Fuliang should be sued, as long as Chen Fuliang does this, they will fully support it! And some rebels who committed serious crimes when they stood in the wrong line surrendered to civil and military, and directly persuaded Chen Fuliang to proclaim himself king and build an altar to change the yuan! Chen Fuliang couldn't fight or kill him, and he had no other way than to pretend to refuse sternly, and he was extremely annoyed.

The third annoyance is the battle situation in the Eastern Capital, Duan Da suffered another fiasco Chen Fuliang has received the news, as Emperor Yang of Sui personally sealed the Eastern Capital to stay, Chen Fuliang must not be without saying this, in the Western Front, the more beautiful he has killed Li Hongzhi's cousin Li Jing also pit a cousin, so that Chen Fuliang gradually difficult to find an excuse to continue to refuse to return to the Eastern Capital, at the same time, Chen Fuliang also has to worry that Li Mi really took the eastern capital Luoyang, which will pose a greater threat to himself, so Chen Fuliang's position on the Eastern Capital War is becoming more and more embarrassing, If you don't return to the division, there is a danger and you can't explain it to the court and the people of the world, if you want to dominate Guanzhong again, there is basically no hope, a little bit worse, Yang Tong came to a relocation to Guanzhong, and threw the mess of the eastern capital to Chen Fuliang, then Chen Fuliang's hard work and forbearance over the years are tantamount to waste.

In the context of such a situation, Chen Fuliang's mood is of course as bad as it is, looking forward to it day and night, that is, looking forward to the news coming from Jiangdu, it is of course best to receive the news that Emperor Yang of Sui is dead, or Emperor Yang of Sui is to change the title of Chen Fuliang to stay in Daxing, at least Chen Fuliang can officially stay in Guanzhong and wait for a better opportunity to appear, but Qian Xiangmin and others have been to Jiangdu for more than two months, not to mention that no news has been sent, even if they have arrived in the Eastern Capital, Whether he died on the road or not, Chen Fuliang didn't know. Under the dilemma, Chen Fuliang's anger is naturally bigger and fiercer.

Troubles one after another, out of the city to inspect the spring ploughing situation just returned to the imperial city, immediately someone came to report, saying that the Eastern Capital envoy right Wuwei general Huangfu Wuyi has arrived in Daxing, is waiting for Chen Fuliang to meet in the right Wuwei general's mansion, yesterday already knew that Huangfu Wuyi was coming Chen Fuliang will inevitably have some fire, angry shouted: "Tell him to wait, wait for me to change clothes and then summon him." ”

When Chen Fuliang first debuted, he had received a lot of help from Huangfu Wuyi, and the ace descendant newspaper **** was Fan Zigai and Huangfu Wuyi's full support to help Chen Fuliang create, Chen Fuliang's relationship with him was once very close, but then Chen Fuliang suddenly broke out as the general of the Right Military Guard, but after becoming Huangfu Wuyi's boss, they both felt a little embarrassed, and they deliberately kept their distance with their respectful and distant positions, and the relationship was unconsciously estranged a lot. Now that Huangfu Wuyi has made it clear that he is forcing his life for Yang Tong, urging Chen Fuliang to return to the Eastern Capital, and perhaps continuing to spy on whether Chen Fuliang really has the purpose of opposing it, Chen Fuliang is of course not happy about the arrival of Huangfu Wuyi.

After returning to Daxing for the third time, Chen Fuliang's fortunes seemed to have improved somewhat, just when Chen Fuliang was worried about how to refuse to return to his division with confidence, Beidi County in the northwest of Daxing suddenly came with good news - at least for Chen Fuliang, there was a thief named Jia Bo gathered about 1,000 people, and was running around Luochuan, and the garrison of Beidi County was cooperating with Li Jing to beat Bai Yupo, and he couldn't spare his hands to suppress this small group of thieves for the time being, so he asked Chen Fuliang to mobilize the soldiers and horses of Jingzhao County to go north to quell the rebellion. Prevent the Jia Bo thief army from taking advantage of the situation.

In this day and age, thousands of rogue gangsters are not worthy of being called a thief army, and sending a regular army of 500 people to suppress them is all killing chickens with a knife, which is logically irrelevant. However, Chen Fuliang was like a treasure for this, and immediately threw the Tang Bao of the Taishou of Beidi County to his own soldiers, whispered an explanation in his ear, and then changed his clothes and went out to meet Huangfu Wuyi. As a result, what surprised Chen Fuliang a little was that he appeared with Huangfu Wuyi, as well as his honorary deputy Liu Changgong.

Huangfu Wuyi's health is still not very good, still a little cough from time to time, after meeting Chen Fuliang saluted, after the main and secondary sitting, before Chen Fuliang and Huangfu Wuyi spoke, Chen Fuliang's personal soldiers first held the Beidi County Tang newspaper into the room, and played loudly to Chen Fuliang: "Chen stay, Beidi County Tang Bao, Luochuan rebel Jia Bo, take the opportunity of the battle between the Beidi County officials and Bai Yupo's thief army, gather more than 20,000 people, attack Luochuan Sanshui and other places, the thief is huge, the military situation is urgent, the head of the house Shi Ling villain immediately reported to you, please decide." ”

"Why is the thief rebellion in Northland County rising again?" Chen Fuliang wailed with pain on his face, then waved his hand and said, "Send the Tang newspaper to my signature room, and I will deal with it later." ”

The soldiers took the order and left, Chen Fuliang sighed again, and said to Huangfu Wuyi: "General Huangfu, it's really a gourd to float up, yesterday Lantian sent the news, Shangluo thief Zhou Tao crossed the Bear's Ears Mountain, invaded the south of Daxing, and today there is chaos in Beidi County north of Daxing. ”

Chen Fuliang's hand still played some role, and Huangfu Wuyi, who was originally ready to ask Chen Fuliang for help as soon as they met, could only change his original intention, and comforted him in turn: "It's all some clowns who jump off the beam, with Chen staying behind with you, these clowns can't jump for a few days." Li Yuan's thief army is so powerful, they were all quickly extinguished by Chen Liu, what are these little thieves? ”

"These thieves are not difficult to fight, but they are too strong to escape, and it is difficult to find a decisive opportunity." Chen Fuliang shook his head tiredly, and said: "Especially the Zhou Tao thief army, I sent troops to suppress it several times, but let him flee back to Shangluo, there is no will, our army can not cross the border at will, the soldiers have worked in vain, but they have always been repeatedly suppressed." ”

After that, Chen Fuliang also coughed a few times, and then asked Huangfu Wuyi: "General Huangfu, how is the battle situation in the Eastern Capital?" I heard that Li Mi's thief army captured Jinyong City, and His Royal Highness appointed my father-in-law, General Wang Shichong, as the commander of the city's defense. ”

"When Xia Guan left the Eastern Capital, Li Mi's thief army had not launched an attack for the time being." Huangfu Wuyi replied, and said, "But our army scouts ...... report." ”

"It's good that we didn't attack." Chen Fuliang interrupted Huangfu Wuyi's words and comforted: "General Huangfu, don't worry, my father-in-law, General Wang, is also a general who can fight well, as long as he is given a little time to familiarize himself with the army and strengthen the city defense, even if there are millions of rabble, Li Mi's thief army will not be able to do anything about the eastern capital." ”

Huangfu Wuyi's face changed slightly, and he was extremely suspicious that Chen Fuliang's words were deliberately gagged by him, and after a little calculation, Huangfu Wuyi arched his hand and said: "Chen Liushou is reasonable, Wang Yulin (the pronoun of the left and right guards) can indeed fight well, and he is a general, but at present, Li Mi's thief power is too huge, and the scale of the thief army has exceeded 300,000 in the Eastern Capital battlefield alone, and Wang Yulin can't resist it at all." He also asked Chen to stay behind and remember his plans in the world of his home country, and return to the eastern capital as much as possible to relieve the danger of the eastern capital. ”

As he spoke, Huangfu Wuyi took out an official document, held it with both hands and said, "Chen Liushou, this is a handwritten letter from His Royal Highness King Yue to you, please take a look at it." ”

In addition to describing in detail the various difficulties and crises that the eastern capital Luoyang is currently facing, Yang Tong also mentioned Chen Fuliang and his righteous marriage to Jinlan in front of Xiao Liu Liangdi, and asked Chen Fuliang to look at the country's major affairs and also look at the feelings of the righteous brothers.

After thinking quietly for a long time, Chen Fuliang said: "Please ask General Huangfu to return to His Royal Highness the King of Yue, the ministers of the Eastern Capital have already known, and the ministers will do their best to send reinforcements back to the Eastern Capital, and at that time, they will also send a batch of grain and grass from Changping to the Eastern Capital to help the Eastern Capital Luoyang alleviate the urgent need of insufficient grain and grass." ”

"Chen Liushou, don't you plan to lead the army back in person?" Huangfu Wuyi hurriedly asked.

"General Huangfu, in this situation, can I go away?" Chen Fuliang asked helplessly, and said even more helplessly: "It has been four months since the recovery of Daxing, but His Majesty has not promulgated a decree on how to deal with the aftermath, the thieves in Guanzhong are still rampant, and the remnants of Li Yuan's thief army are still in Jinnan, without His Majesty's holy will, how dare I leave Daxing Guanzhong?" ”

Huangfu Wuyi was silent, and only after a moment did he ask, "Chen Liushou, then how many reinforcements do you plan to send to save the Eastern Capital?" When will the troops be dispatched? Please also tell him clearly, and the lower officials should also do their best to report to His Royal Highness King Yue. ”

"This ......." Chen Fuliang was a little hesitant, this was not that Chen Fuliang planned to perfunctory Yang Dong, but Chen Fuliang really wanted to pull Yang Tong and Wang Shichong, so that they could have the strength to continue to fight with Li Mi, and use the eastern capital city defense to consume the strength of Li Mi's army to the greatest extent. So after hesitating for a while, Chen Fuliang replied: "I have to think about this carefully, and I have to discuss it carefully with the generals under my command, but General Huangfu, don't worry, I will give you an answer as much as possible, and I won't let you wait long." ”

Chen Fuliang said to this point, Huangfu Wuyi didn't say much, and talked about some things about the battlefield in the Eastern Capital, Huangfu Wuyi proposed to leave, Chen Fuliang was busy with official business and did not leave him, just invited him to the Anxingfang where he lived at night for a banquet, Huangfu Wuyi excused himself to be in poor health and tired from afar, politely thanked Chen Fuliang for his kindness, and then left the Youwuwei General's Mansion.

It was also after Huangfu Wuyi left, Liu Changgong, who had been a stuffy gourd before, opened his mouth and said angrily: "I'm most annoyed by this old old-fashioned, it's really fucking wordy, I said countless times that you can't go back now, he just doesn't believe it, and he has to ask several times in front of you." ”

"What? Is it true that he asked you if I couldn't go back? Chen Fuliang asked vigilantly.

Liu Changgong nodded, and said sullenly: "When I came to the city, I heard that you went to inspect the spring ploughing, so you found me directly, and I was a lot of rambling in front of me, and asked several times why you didn't send troops to save the eastern capital, I said that you couldn't get out before, and then I heard that the thief army retreated, so you didn't rush back, he just didn't believe it." He also put up a boss shelf and pulled me to see you together. ”

"What else did he ask you?" Chen Fuliang asked uneasily.

"Basically, I just asked about the military situation here in Guanzhong, and I didn't ask much else." Liu Changgong replied with a yawn, and said casually: "By the way, Wei Yijie, the servant of the Criminal Department, Xiangcheng Gong, also came, but he came to mourn the crown princess, their cousin Wei Anshi died in Luokoucang, and Wei Yijie went directly to the East Palace to see his princess sister when he came to Daxing." ”

The wise man has a thousand thoughts, there must be a mistake, the cunning as a fox Chen Fuliang did not pay attention to this small matter, only another big thing in his heart, and said secretly: "Something is wrong, Huangfu Wuyi is not deaf, if it is for Yang Tong to spy on my movements, how can he not hear those rumors that are now spreading in the eastern capital?" Why didn't you ask Brother Liu about these rumors? ”

At this time, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and Yuan Tiangang and others all came to trouble Chen Fuliang with official documents, Liu Changgong had a headache when he saw these official duties, and quickly asked to leave, and when he left, Liu Changgong also said to Chen Fuliang: "Brother Yingliang, let's send some reinforcements to Luoyang, no matter what, it is the eastern capital of our Great Sui, and you are still staying in the eastern capital, if you let Li Mi and the dog thieves occupy the eastern capital, it will be difficult for you to explain to the emperor." ”

"Don't worry, big brother, I will." Chen Fuliang agreed with a smile, and said with a smile in his heart: "It's rare to hear you say a serious word." ”

Chen Fuliang also quickly paid a heavy price for his negligence, and Wei Yijie, the brother of the late crown prince Yang Yong's wife and brother, who was neglected by him, met the widowed crown princess Wei in the East Palace, in addition to telling his sister about the funeral, he also asked Concubine Wei some important questions. And after getting the answer he needed, Wei Yijie left the imperial city before evening and returned to the Daxing official mansion to arrange a post house for him and Huangfu Wuyi, Huangfu Wuyi, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately greeted him and asked in a low voice, "How is it?" What did the crown princess say? ”

"Like outside the palace, rumors have been heard in the palace that Chen Yingliang was born with a vision." Wei Yijie replied in a low voice: "The crown princess doesn't know about Princess Yang Yu's situation, so she can only try to inquire for us." But my sister has heard of another thing, another thing related to Princess Yang Yu and Chen Liushou. ”

"What's the matter?" Huangfu Wuyi hurriedly asked.

"I heard that when Chai Shao and Dugu Huaien offered the Xuanwu Gate to Chen Liushou, they first sent someone to send Princess Yang Yu out of the palace to meet Chen Liushou." Wei Yijie replied in a low voice.

"Why? Why would they do it? Huangfu Wuyi was taken aback.

"My sister doesn't know why." Wei Yijie shook his head, and said in a low voice: "I suspect that the matter of Princess Yang Yu and Chen staying behind, it is very likely that Chai Shao and Dugu Huaien know some inside information, so they attach so much importance to Princess Yu when they surrender." ”

Huangfu Wuyi's face was gloomy as if he was about to drip, and he said slowly after a while: "You must make up your mind, if you don't do it, the matter may be irreparable." ”

After finishing speaking, Huangfu Wuyi slapped the table again and said sharply: "Let's go, let's see Liu Changgong together!" ”

By the way, Yang Tong and Yuan Wen are also quite accurate in seeing people, although our General Liu Changgong and Liu Da are human beings, and their ability to fight is also a little commonplace, but they are quite loyal to the Great Sui court. In history, he was defeated by Li Mi several times, but he never shamelessly surrendered to Li Mi like many of his colleagues, and in the end, he died on the battlefield and was shrouded in horse leather. smiled and agreed, and said with a smile in his heart: "It's rare to hear you say a serious word." ”

Chen Fuliang also quickly paid a heavy price for his negligence, and Wei Yijie, the brother of the late crown prince Yang Yong's wife and brother, who was neglected by him, met the widowed crown princess Wei in the East Palace, in addition to telling his sister about the funeral, he also asked Concubine Wei some important questions.
