Last year's Eastern Expedition, Li Yuan was ordered to take over the post of chief planner of grain and grass for the Eastern Expedition, and he did a good job.

Wei Wei Shaoqing is in charge of military honor guards, tents and other things, and is the deputy of the Ministry of State Armament, although his two sons are both serving in the army, they are both petty officers of the fifth or sixth rank, and they have no chance of leading the troops to rebel.

For this reason, Li Hun quickly replaced Li Yuan and became the person who Emperor Yang of Sui had to get rid of in his heart.

At the beginning of May of the 11th industry of the Great Cause, the tiger general Pei Huiji suddenly played a game, accusing Li Hun of trying to collude with foreign rebellion, and the emperor immediately ordered Zuo Yi's general Yu Wenshu to lead troops to besiege the Chengguo Mansion, and arrest Li Hun and put him in prison.

Subsequently, he ordered Shangshu Zuo Cheng Yuanwendu and the imperial historian Pei Wenza to try the case together, and within a few days, a piece of evidence was presented to the emperor to prove that the Chengguo Gong conspiracy was true.

The emperor was furious, and ordered that all the old and young of Li Hun and his family be imprisoned, and a few days later, he issued a holy decree: Li Hun, the prince of Chengguo, was beheaded, and all the men within the three clans were beheaded, and the women were exiled and used as military prostitutes.

On May 13, Li Hun and more than 30 men were all beheaded in Xishi. The magnates of the eastern capital are all soldiers and trembling.

Did Cheng Guogong really rebel? Of course not, Li Hun is more pompous, likes luxury life, is greedy for dirt, and it is possible to accept some bribes, but with his temperament, he does not dare to rebel by borrowing his two guts.

The Li family suddenly suffered this catastrophe, to put it bluntly, it is inseparable from the increasing suspicion of the emperor, since the incident of Yang Xuangan in the nine industries of the great cause, in Luoyang City, the ministers who hold military power have become his thorns in the flesh, thorns in his eyes.

Especially Li Yuan, the Duke of Tang Guo, when Li Yuan learned that Li Hun's encounter was completely from An Jiatuo's words, his heart was suddenly full of fear, and he hated An Jiatuo, a traitorous minister.

But in the current situation, in addition to being low-key, forbearing, and obedient, his Li family is no matter how low-key, forbearance and obedience are, and summoned Li Dalang and Li Erlang to let them act in a low-key and low-key manner, even so, he still can't feel at ease.

This uneasiness reached its peak on May 20, when Li Erlang returned from a business trip, and as soon as he walked to the door, he was taken away by the eunuchs from the palace.

The eunuch who took Li Erlang away was a close attendant beside Emperor Yang, and when Li Yuan, the Duke of Tang Kingdom, saw this scene, his heart suddenly rose to his throat.

Don't talk about Tang Guogong's thoughts, but say that Li Erlang came to the imperial study with the inner servant, when he came in, Emperor Yang of Sui was reading a book, Li Erlang said hello, he didn't hear the emperor's voice, he could only bow his body and stand there in a worship posture.

"Erlang is here, let's get even." Emperor Yang of Sui finished approving the book in his hand, and finally turned his attention to Li Erlang.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Li Erlang responded respectfully before standing up straight.

"Li Erlang, do you know what I called you here?" Emperor Yang asked.

"I don't know." Li Erlang replied.

"If I have something for you to do, will you obey the command?" Emperor Yang of Sui asked again.

"Your Majesty is the king, Erlang is the minister, the king has an order, and the minister goes to the soup and fire, and he will not give up." Li Erlang replied solemnly.

"If I want you to divorce your wife and marry another, you might be able to do it?" Emperor Yang of Sui didn't speak immediately, and looked at him quietly for a while before continuing down.

"Your Majesty forgives the sin, and the minister cannot comply with this matter." Li Erlang was so frightened that he poofed, fell to his knees, and fell to the ground with his head, pleading guilty again and again.

"You dare to disobey the Holy Command?" Emperor Yang of Sui's eyes narrowed.

"The minister never dared to disobey the holy order, but the eldest grandson was the minister's deceased mother and the minister's relatives in the early years, she married the minister, strictly abide by the women's rules, there is no immorality, whether it is based on filial piety, or the conduct of the official, the minister does not dare to divorce his wife." Li Erlang said with a panicked face.

"Are you accusing me of being disrespectful and indiscriminately interfering in the family affairs of my courtiers?" Emperor Yang of Sui's voice sounded in Li Erlang's ears.

"The minister doesn't dare, Your Majesty has always been wise and martial, how can he interfere in the minister's family affairs." Li Erlang became more and more frightened, but his tone was not half relaxed.

"That's it, put this high hat on my head, if I force you to divorce your wife again, you will really become a faint king, you, step down." Emperor Yang of Sui's tense tone eased slightly, and waved his hand.

"Your Majesty, minister, retire." Li Erlang bowed to Emperor Yang and thanked him, before getting up and respectfully withdrew.

"Ruyi, come out, you have also seen that Li Erlang has a deep affection for his wife, and he will not divorce his wife no matter what, you have died of this heart."

"Of course, if this kid is really afraid of the royal family and obeys my order to divorce his wife, my father will not let you marry him, how can such a soft bone that tends to be inflammatory?"

"Still in this kid did not disappoint me, it is not in vain that I loved him when he was young, you have reached the end of the year, I don't want to marry for the time being, I am not reluctant, I can give you three years, after three years, whether you find a new person you like, you have to listen to the arrangement of me and your mother, and choose a colt." After Li Erlang left, Emperor Yang of Sui turned his eyes to the screen and spoke.

After his voice fell, Princess Ruyi slowly walked out, she had done the ceremony three months ago, although she was a princess, according to the system, after the ceremony, she should also choose a horse.

Not to mention the conversation between Emperor Yang's father and daughter, but to say that after Li Erlang came out of the palace, the clothes on his back were already wet, and after he returned home, he was immediately summoned by Li Yuan.

"Erlang, what did Your Majesty ask you?" Li Yuan looked at him eagerly and spoke.

"I didn't say anything, I asked me about my time in the army, and at the same time asked what my father had done when he returned home recently." Li Erlang didn't mention the emperor's words, and casually found a reason to prevaricate.

With his understanding of his father, if he knew the emperor's thoughts, God knows if he would force him to divorce his wife.

Li Yuan listened to Li Erlang's answer, and became more and more worried, for fear that one day the emperor would turn the finger on his own family, but fortunately, his worries did not happen.

After Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty killed Li Hun, he didn't know whether he figured it out or didn't believe that Li Yuan had the ability to subvert the Great Sui Dynasty, and he didn't ask for trouble with other courtiers.

Emperor Yang of Sui, who had been squatting in the eastern capital for several months, no longer bothered the courtiers, so he began to think quietly and prepare for the northern tour, and the time was set at the end of this month, and Yuwenxu and Li Yuan were on the list of peers.

"Guanyin, I want to tour the north with the emperor, and everything in the house will be handed over to you and your sister-in-law." On the eve of parting, Li Erlang held the hand of the eldest grandson and the little lady, and Yin Yin advised.

"I know that I will help my sister-in-law take care of this family, but you should be more careful when you follow Your Majesty." The eldest grandson and little lady were silent for a moment before speaking.

Not long ago, the bloody scene outside the noon gate of the West Market had not yet dried up, and the catastrophe of Li Hun, the Duke of Chengguo, reminded her all the time how dangerous it was to follow such an emperor.
