Let's bring the picture back to the present, to the scene of the meeting where Qin Wangjun was campaigning for the commander-in-chief, that is, back to Taiyuan Qin Wangjun Li Yuan's Chinese army account.
"Ambassador Li, I'm so sorry. His Majesty the Emperor has issued an imperial edict and has appointed the commander-in-chief to command the troops of the kings of Luqin! So the election you just made is useless! Don't say that not everyone recommended you To be the coach of King Qin, even if everyone supports you, you are not qualified to be the coach now!"
Li Yuan had many hateful subordinates who made him hate him so much that he wanted to kill him, but this was the first time Li Yuan met a subordinate who was as hateful and disgusting as Yin Shishi, so after hearing Yin Shishi's words Ambassador Li, who had already bent over and knelt to sit in the handsome seat, stood up straight again, glaring at Master Yin with a livid face, his eyes were as terrifying as a hungry wolf who would prey on someone, and his ferocity far surpassed that of the previous threats. Yun Dingxing's gaze was a hundredfold.
It's a pity that although Yin Shishi is also Li Yuan's subordinate, he is an official who was airborne by the imperial court. He also served as a frontier official like the left guard in Zhuo County. He was very trusted in front of Emperor Sui Yang. Li Yuan knew very well that he could not scare him. , so while the audience was in an uproar, Li Yuan forced himself to calm down, and asked with a cold expression: "Prefect Yin, His Majesty the Emperor was surrounded by Turks in Yanmen City, how did the imperial edict he issued get to you?" inner?"
"Ambassador Li, have you forgotten your majesty's edict from floating wood?" Yin Shishi showed no fear, and sneered even more, and said: "After His Majesty was surrounded by Turks, in addition to sending dead soldiers out of the city to deliver the edict, he also tied the edict Throw the wood into the Hutuo River, and let the river send the edict, declaring that the soldiers and horses of the world will march northward to King Qin. After the subordinate officials led the army to Xinkou, in order to prevent any emergency, they arranged special personnel to guard the Hutuo River day and night, ready to receive His Majesty's edict at any time. "
Speaking of this, he glanced at Li Yuan, whose face was getting more and more livid, and Yin Shishi smiled and said: "Kung fu pays off, just now I arranged for soldiers to monitor the Hutuo River, and found two nails with conspicuous red nails in the river. The sealed wooden box of cloth, picked it up and opened it, and found two imperial edicts stamped with His Majesty's imperial seal. The content of the two edicts is exactly the same, except for the canonization of the commander in chief of the Qin King War, it also shows that this edict has nine forms. The content is exactly the same, but only nine copies were written to prevent the Turks from intercepting, no matter which edict the King Qin army received, they must act according to the edict."
Hearing this, Ambassador Li Yuan even wanted to strangle Yin Shishi, a troubled subordinate, to death. Unfortunately, the other leaders of King Qin's army were sycophants. Solved the huge problem that the commander-in-chief of Qin Wang's coalition army could not fully convince the crowd, and praised Yin Shishi for his loyalty and meticulousness, and for being able to plan ahead and send people to guard the Hutuo River day and night. The old general Ding Xingyun also raised his arms and shouted: "Long live the emperor, long live the emperor, with your Majesty's edict, our generals of the Sui Dynasty will be invincible and invincible. Breaking the Turks is as easy as turning the palm of your hand, and the siege of Yanmen is just around the corner. !"
"Prefect Yin, you are really a life-saving Bodhisattva." Our conscienceless young lady Chen Sangliang was even more excited, and hurriedly asked Master Yin: "Prefect Yin, which important court official did your Majesty appoint as the commander-in-chief of King Qin?" ?”
Seeing Chen Yingliang's eager expression, Yin Shishi's expression became a little weird, and he ignored other candidates who asked about Qin Wang's coach, but asked Chen Yingliang: "Chen Fushi, if Your Majesty still appoints Ambassador Li Yuan Li as the Qin Wang coalition commander? , do you obey the edict?"
Yin Shishi's words were too misleading. Hearing Yin Shishi's words, Li Yuan, who had already turned blue, immediately raised his head, pleasantly surprised, and secretly said: "It can't be wrong! It must be me. Younger Yang Guang was surrounded by Turks in Yanmen City, and he didn’t even know who came to Xinkou King Qin. I must be stationed in Taiyuan to fight King Qin. Yang Guang has no other choice except for appointing me as King Qin’s coach!”
At the same time, Li Er, who was eavesdropping outside the tent, also quietly breathed a sigh of relief, patted his brother-in-law Chai Shao who was nervous, and said in a low voice, "Don't worry, the emperor doesn't know anything about Xinkou's situation. My father is stationed in Taiyuan and also in charge of Yanmen County, so His Majesty has no choice but to appoint my father as the commander-in-chief of King Qin."
Still at the same time, Chen Yingliang's expression changed slightly when he heard Master Yin's words, and the glimmer of hope that had just been ignited was shattered immediately, but he was unable to change it, so he could only reply with a sad face: "If your majesty also canonize Ambassador Li As the commander-in-chief of King Qin's coalition forces, as a courtier of the Sui Dynasty, I must of course act according to the imperial edict and respect Ambassador Li as commander-in-chief."
"Really?" Yin Shishi smiled, and asked again: "Are you telling the truth, or are you just trying to put me off?"
Seeing the weird smile on Yin Shishi's face, Chen Yingliang suddenly felt that something was wrong, and he didn't answer Yin Shishi's weird question anymore. Li Yuan stood behind the handsome table and couldn't see Yin Shishi's expression, and said "Yin Shishi" He was warning Chen Yingliang that he could not resist the edict, so he smiled and said, "Don't worry, Prefect Yin. After the emperor's edict is read out, even if Deputy Chen is not convinced, he probably doesn't have the guts to disobey the edict. You just declare the edict truthfully. If you don't obey the order, I will be the first to spare him!"
"Prefect Yin, don't talk too much." Liu Changgong, who has been suppressed by his clan uncle, finally caught the opportunity to speak, and said angrily, "Brother Yingliang is loyal to His Majesty, how could he not obey the imperial edict? Say it quickly Now, who did His Majesty appoint as the commander-in-chief of King Qin's coalition army?"
"That's right, Prefect Yin, don't be fooled, tell me who it is?" Yun Dingxing and other leaders of King Qin's volunteers urged one after another.
Yin Shishi smiled, turned to Li Yuan, and said calmly, "Ambassador Li."
"Congratulations to Marshal Li!" Thunderous congratulatory voices erupted again in the large tent of the Chinese army. Countless officials, big and small, rushed to salute Li Yuanji. They looked at each other and smiled, and directly clapped their hands to celebrate, knowing that this time even if Li Yuan ordered Chen Yingliang to go alone to fight against a large formation of ten thousand people, Chen Yingliang could only obediently obey the order.
"What are you in a hurry for? Listen to me!" Yin Shishi shouted, interrupting the flattery and flattery that flooded Li Yuan like a tide, and then Yin Shishi said: "Ambassador Li, I want to read your majesty's speech aloud in public. The imperial edict has been issued, and you are still standing behind the handsome case, are you disrespectful to His Majesty's imperial edict?"
Embarrassed expressions appeared on almost everyone's faces, Li Yuan's face was the most embarrassing, and he cursed secretly, you said it earlier, why are you panting so loudly? Then he pretended to smile, walked to the front of Shuai's case and turned to face Shuai's case, Yin Shishi walked to the front of Shuai's case with an order, turned around and shouted: "The imperial decree is here!"
Li Yuan took the lead to salute Jishou, the master of Yin who was holding the imperial edict. Chen Yingliang, Yun Dingxing and the other leaders of King Qin's army took their positions according to their ranks, and then also saluted Jishou, saying in unison: "Your servant waits to welcome the imperial edict!"
In front of everyone, countless people waited with breathless tension, Yin Shishi opened an edict, cleared his throat first, and then read aloud: "By God, the emperor of the Sui Dynasty said: Lead the twelve counties of Henan Province Deposed Chen Yingliang, the deputy envoy who was deposed, loyal to the country, unparalleled in righteousness, outstanding in eliminating violence and chaos, and worked tirelessly for thousands of miles. The king was eager to worry about my needs, thought of what I wanted, and rescued me from danger. He is a real human being The minister is an example, a model of loyalty, and now Chen Yingliang is specially appointed as the commander-in-chief of Yanmen King Qin's army, leading all the soldiers and horses of Qin King from all walks of life to fight against the national disaster. dispose of..."
Yin Shishi's edict hadn't finished reading yet, the big tent of the Chinese army was already filled with the sound of glasses being smashed, Chen Yingliang's mouth was opened twice as big as usual, and the mouths of Liu Changgong, Yun Dingxing and Li Jing were opened as usual. Three times as big, the other leaders of King Qin's army were all dumbfounded, and they all suspected that they were in a dream. And the one with the most exciting expression is of course Ambassador Li Yuan Li, his eyes almost popped out of their sockets, his mouth was dislocated on the spot, his mind was completely blank, his eyes were as dazed as a newborn baby, and he couldn't help pinching him quietly He rubbed his thigh to check if he was having a nightmare
"All the soldiers and horses of King Qin from all walks of life, all civil and military officials, military and civilian officers and soldiers who participated in the battle of King Qin, regardless of their official position or title, must obey Chen Yingliang's dispatch and command, and there must be no mistakes! Chen Yingliang can use this edict to kill first and then play. Forgive me! This is it!"
The nightmare did not wake up, and it will never wake up. Yin Shishi quickly finished reading this not too long edict, then Yin Shishi put down the edict, and said calmly: "Chen Fushi, you should accept the edict to thank you . Colleagues, Ambassador Li, it is time for you to accept the order and thank you.”
No one said a word for a long time. After a long time, Old General Yun was the first to wake up from the dream, and hurriedly kowtowed: "The humble minister leads the decree, the emperor will live forever."
"The minister leads the decree, the minister leads the decree." Old General Yun, the highest-ranking official, took the lead. Although the other leaders of King Qin's army still felt that they were dreaming, they all followed suit. Only Chen Yingliang and Li Yuan remained silent. In the end, it was Yin Shishi who reminded him again. The stupefied Chen Yingliang just woke up like a dream, hurriedly kowtowed to thank him, and then jumped up and the first sentence was...
"Prefect Yin, am I dreaming? Your Majesty the Emperor, did you really appoint me as the commander-in-chief of King Qin's coalition army?!"
Yin Shishi smiled wryly, and while handing the edict to Chen Yingliang, he said with a wry smile: "To be honest, when I saw this edict just now, I also felt like I was dreaming, and I couldn't figure it out, how could His Majesty appoint you as the commander-in-chief? Your achievements and contributions are enough, but you are only nineteen years old, and I didn't even think about it, how could the emperor entrust such a huge burden to you, a nineteen-year-old little baby?"
Everyone was nodding, including Chen Yingliang himself. He felt that this incident was too unbelievable, and he couldn't understand why Emperor Sui Yang made such an astonishing decision. After hearing this, Li Yuan, who had already lost his soul, immediately returned to his senses, quickly raised his head, and said viciously: "Wait a minute! I want to check the authenticity of the imperial edict. How is it possible for His Majesty the Emperor to be besieged by the Turks in Yanmen City?" Knowing that Chen Yingliang also led troops to King Xinkouqin? This is too unbelievable, I want to check the authenticity of the imperial edict to see if anyone forged it!"
Yin Shishi didn't even bat an eyelid, and immediately handed another edict to Li Yuan. Chen Yingliang hesitated for a while, and handed the edict he had already received to Li Yuan. Could it be forged by my accomplices? It may not be impossible, but if it is true, it would be terrible."
Li Yuan's expression quickly reassured Chen Yingliang. He looked at the two edicts over and over again. Li Yuan's expression was full of hope at first, then gradually disappointed, then his face turned pale, and finally he repeatedly checked the edicts. After receiving the jade seal, Li Yuan was finally completely desperate, and murmured: "How is it possible? Your Majesty, how did you know that Chen Yingliang had also come to Xinkou? The army from the Central Plains came so fast, it's impossible for His Majesty to know?"
The big tent was so quiet that even a needle could be heard clearly. Although Li Yuan's murmur was small, it was heard by everyone. In the end, he quickly reminded Chen Yingliang who accompanied Chen Yingliang into the tent and had been standing in the big tent. Yuan Tiangang next to him made Yuan Tiangang raise his head and exclaimed: "Deputy envoy, could it be that Qian Xiangmin joined the army and really sent your Qin Wang Zoubiao into Yanmen City? Otherwise, His Majesty the Emperor really It is impossible to know that you have come to Xinkou!"
A word to awaken the dreamer reminded Chen Yingliang of the completely forgotten accomplice Qian Joining the Army, and all his doubts were immediately resolved. When the Yin Shishi next to him asked the reason, Chen Yingliang answered truthfully, saying that he He sent a lackey to present King Qin's memorial to Yanmen City, and probably managed to get in touch with Emperor Sui Yang. As a result, Yin Shishi and many Qinwang officials immediately shouted, saying why none of the messengers he sent to deliver the letter succeeded, but Chen Yingliang's messenger succeeded? Li Yuan wished he could bump his head against the ground, and cursed in his heart, "Hou Junji! Damn you, why aren't you as proud as Chen Yingliang's lackeys?!"
Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty appointed Chen Yingliang as the commander-in-chief of King Qin's coalition army. The answer was guessed. Everyone envied Chen Yingliang for his good luck. ? Do you accept the order?"
Both Chai Shao and Li Er, who were eavesdropping outside the big tent, were both paralyzed on the ground, their faces were as pale as paper, and Li Yuan was almost paralyzed on the ground, trying to refuse to accept the order several times. However, he didn't have the guts and courage to do so. He gritted his teeth and wanted to tear up the two imperial edicts in his hand, but his hands trembled and he couldn't do it. Finally, after hesitating for a long time, Li Yuan finally held up the two imperial edicts with difficulty, and said even more difficultly: "I..., take the decree to thank you, God..., the emperor will live forever."
With the difficult words on his lips, Li Yuan was of course roaring in his heart, "Little Yang Guang, you must die!"
Yin Shishi accepted the two edicts very bluntly, then knelt down on one knee to appease Chen Yingliang, raised the two edicts above his head, and said in a loud voice: "Marshal Chen, please take the edict and take the order, the commander, the last general Yin Shishi, on behalf of Lou Fanqin Wang Jun, listens to the Commander's order!"
Chen Yingliang's face was a little flushed, he took a deep breath first, then took the two edicts with both hands, and said solemnly: "Thank you, Prefect Yin, and please forgive me, the younger generation is disrespectful, from now on, the younger generation will Commands are given to you."
Yin Shishi nodded without hesitation, then stood up, and said loudly: "Marshal Chen, please raise your account!"
"Please raise Marshal Chen!" Liu Changgong yelled loudly, but this time his clan uncle Liu Jingye finally did not obstruct the trouble, and followed him to salute, respectfully inviting the devastated Marshal Chen Sangliang to raise his tent.
"Marshal Chen, please raise your account!" The officials on the wall, represented by old general Yun Ding Xingyun, saluted and shouted in unison.
"Please Marshal Chen to raise the account." Li Jing calmly begged Chen Yingliang, and Chen Yingliang also glanced at him, and found that his expression was still as calm and indifferent as before, making people unpredictable.
Li Yuan, who wished to strangle Chen Yingliang to death, of course kept his mouth shut and refused to make fun of it. Of course, Chen Yingliang would not care about such small details with him at this juncture. Said: "My colleagues, among the generals of Zhuluqin King's army, I, Chen Yingliang, am the youngest and have the most junior qualifications. You are either my uncles or my elder brothers. Logically speaking, I can't sit in this handsome position." On. But since His Majesty the Emperor has issued an imperial edict and entrusted me with such a heavy burden, if I refuse again, I will be disobeying the edict, so I have no choice but to bear this responsibility reluctantly. I will apologize to you one by one after King Qin rescues you. But now, I have to announce as the coach that the account will be raised!"
After finishing speaking, Chen Yingliang sat down on the handsome seat, Yin Shishi, Liu Changgong, Yun Dingxing and other leaders of Qin King's soldiers and horses did not hesitate, they all knelt down on one knee to Chen Yingliang, raised their fists and saluted, and said neatly: " I've seen Marshal Chen!"
"I've seen Marshal Chen." The hoarse voice was very disharmonious. The owner of the voice, Li Yuan, almost fell to the ground during Jishou's salute. Seeing Chen Yingliang's young, almost immature ugly face, a sense of hopeless fear also appeared in Li Yuan's heart immediately, making Li Yuan, who was 49 years old this year, couldn't help moaning in his heart, "Nineteen years old, only ten years old. Climb on top of this old man at the age of nine, is it possible for this old man to surpass him again in the future?"
At the same time, outside the tent door, he saw Chen Yingliang wearing a monkey crown, sitting in a handsome position and accepting everyone's salute. In addition to envy, Li Er felt a lot of feelings in his heart. He remembered the first time he and Chen Yingliang met. I also thought of the various grievances and grievances between myself and Chen Yingliang, and even more thought of the eldest grandson Xiaoluoli who was waiting for Chen Yingliang in Daxing City. A more desperate sense of fear also appeared in Li Er's heart at the same time...
Li Er's heart was full of emotions, and Chai Shao's heart was of course full of emotions. He remembered the first time he met Chen Yingliang, Chen Yingliang's poverty and poverty, and even more his beloved sister who was often washed with tears, paralyzed in bed. Chai Shen, his father, and all the ridicule and humiliation he has suffered in the past two years...
Chai Shao's heart is not in despair, because Chai Shao has been so desperate that he can't pull himself together. Chai Shao's heart is only angry, and his eyes are red with anger. Fight with the mortal enemy Chen Yingliang and die together! However, as soon as Chai Shao moved, Li Er grabbed him. When Chai Shao turned to look at Li Er, he saw that Li Er's eyes were redder than his own, and the whites of his eyes were almost bloodshot, but he still whispered to him. He said to himself, "Patience! Ten years is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge! If you go in now, you will never have the chance to take revenge!"
Before he finished speaking, there was already a thin line of blood flowing down the corner of Li Er's mouth.
