The mopping-up battle is still going on, and the most intense place is still the Guandao battlefield south of Xixing Pass. Taking advantage of the opportunity of the main force of the Sui army to chase and kill Shibi Khan, Ashina Tuli led a force that barely maintained its ranks. The Turkic army, relying on the narrow terrain to temporarily block the pursuit of the Sui army, continued to rush forward to the Kanling defense line in front. After responding, Khan fled for his life, and also went out in full force, attacking the Sui army's position southward, and attacking Kanling with Tuli from north to south.
It's a pity that no matter how eager the Turkic army was to jump over the wall, they unfortunately encountered Kan Leng, who was the most capable of fighting tough battles in Qiao Peng's Sui army. Stopped the Turkic army that was confronting the north and the south, and the wide, long and sharp Mo Dao fell one after another, killing the enemy and wounding people at every turn, killing the Turkic infantry and cavalry who attacked in a hurry, disemboweling them, and the Sui army The bows and arrows of the musketeers, the cover of muskets, and occasionally throwing a few gunpowder bottles caused chaos in the Turkic army, and the Turkic army was doomed to be unable to break through the interception of the Qiao Peng Sui army.
After a fierce battle for a long time, when the corpses of the Turkic soldiers in front of Qiao Peng and the Sui army were piled up as high as half a person, and when the ammunition of the musketeers of the Sui army was about to run out, the main force of the Sui army finally came back to help Kan Leng. Peng's infantry took the lead in entering the narrow passage, Hu Jingde, the temporary deputy, took the lead, carrying an iron whip in each hand, rushed and beat violently. The Qiaopeng infantry followed closely behind, wielding knives, guns, axes and hammers, and beat the Turkic soldiers to pieces.
Seeing that the situation was not good, many Turkic soldiers threw down their horses and climbed the mountain to flee for their lives. The Ma Sanbao army advanced faster, and Tuli saw that there was no hope of breaking through, so he had no choice but to abandon his horses and escape from the battlefield with a few soldiers over the mountains. Completely collapsed, the soldiers either abandoned their horses and fled for their lives or knelt down and surrendered. Occasionally, a few recalcitrants were chopped into meat sauce by the Sui soldiers in a blink of an eye. The Turks who came also turned around and ran for their lives in a hurry. Ma Sanbao led his army in hot pursuit and took advantage of the momentum to recapture Xixing Pass, formally and completely cutting off the main road for the Turkic army to escape north.
By the way, these Turks who fled across the mountains and escaped from Xixing Pass and other Turks, as well as Tuojiehu soldiers who forcibly crossed Xixing Pass before, even if they pass the pass, it does not mean they are safe, and there are still threats of death, etc. Looking at them—in the north of Xixing Pass, there is also the main force of Mayi led by Wang Rengong waiting for them. The insufficient strength of the Mayi Sui army is indeed no match for the main force of the Turks, but it is more than enough to deal with these defeated Turkic soldiers who are like bereaved dogs .
When the news of the capture of Xixing Pass reached Chen Yingliang, the Sui armies from all walks of life had basically assembled, and Chen Yingliang was able to observe the general picture of the Sui army of Qin Wang from all walks of life. Every Sui army suffered a lot of losses. The soldiers of the Sui Army were also covered in dust and blood. Countless soldiers of the Sui Army still had smoldering marks on their faces. They had exhausted looks on their faces, and low moans of injuries echoed in the ranks. .
"Brothers, you have worked hard." Chen Yingliang tried his best to say with the loudest voice: "We have won this battle by relying on your bravery in fighting and fighting the enemy, and relying on the blood of countless fallen soldiers. We smashed the encirclement of Yanmen to pieces, the Turkic army suffered heavy casualties, and the Turkic Khan Sibi was captured alive by us! Our sacrifices and hard work have finally paid off!"
"His Majesty the Emperor has escaped safely, and your rewards will naturally be issued by the court." Chen Yingliang tried to raise his voice, and said loudly: "But before that, I have to say something to you on behalf of the millions of people in the northern border of the Great Sui Dynasty. Thank you, thank you for your sacrifice and dedication. In this battle, we have severely damaged the vitality of the Turks. At least for ten years, our people in northern Xinjiang will no longer have to worry about the harassment and looting of these grassland robbers! If we were slaughtered by the Turkic bandits that we drove into the death zone in the east, then within twenty years, the people in northern Xinjiang of the Sui Dynasty can all enjoy the peace you have brought for them!"
"We're going to meet you soon. After meeting you, I, the coach, should step down." Chen Yingliang continued loudly: "Before I officially step down, I also want to thank you for your dedication under my command." effort!"
As he spoke, Chen Yingliang knelt down on one knee to the entire army, and said loudly, "Thank you, soldiers of Zuo Tunwei! Thank you, brothers of You Wuwei! Thank you too, soldiers of Jiangdu, soldiers of Taiyuan, and soldiers of Qiao Peng." Soldiers, as well as King Qin soldiers from all over the Sui Dynasty! You have worked hard!"
After all, Chen Yingliang paid homage to all the soldiers in the army, and there was a commotion in the ranks of the Sui army from all walks of life, including many Taiyuan soldiers, shouting: "Commander, we don't work hard, you work hard! You are the best!" Hard!"
Unsteadily trying to stand up, the exhausted Chen Yingliang almost fell down. Fortunately, Li Jing and Yin Shishi beside him helped Chen Yingliang to stand up in time. Chen Yingliang, who was already too tired to stand still, smiled awkwardly, and said loudly: "Soldiers, sing our military song, follow me to Yanmen City, and meet His Majesty the Emperor!"
"The smoke rises, the rivers and mountains look north, the dragon rises and the horse neighs, the sword is like frost, and the heart is like the Yellow River, who can resist in twenty years?"
Amidst the majestic army songs sung by countless people, the Qin Wang Sui Army, which was scarred by five groups, tried to maintain a strict team, followed Chen Yingliang's Qin Wang Shuai Banner, and strode towards Yanmen City. During this period, Wei Zheng, Yuan Tiangang and others led the rear The army rushed to meet up, and Chen Yingliang ordered the rear army to be divided into two teams. One team cleaned the Turkic camp and vacated the camp so that the main soldiers could rest as soon as possible. Acting according to the order, he quickly took over the finishing work on the battlefield, and the main force of the Sui army continued to follow Chen Yingliang to Yanmen City to meet Sui Yang Emperor.
Yanmen City was soon in the distance, and the dragon flag of Emperor Sui Yang also appeared on the east gate of Yanmen. Seeing this scene, Li Yuan suddenly approached Chen Yingliang, and suggested with a smile: "Commander, His Majesty the Emperor personally Come to meet us, might as well let the army speed up, please go to the city and ask His Majesty to review our King Qin's army."
"Ambassador Li, you really haven't changed." Before Chen Yingliang could agree, the Yin Shishi beside him had already sneered and said, "The emperor came out to meet him in person, but you instigated the commander-in-chief to lead the army to rush to the city. You wanted to frighten His Majesty the emperor. Or do you want our Marshal Chen's life?"
"Prefect Yin, don't be as knowledgeable as him. Of course I know his intentions." Chen Yingliang smiled slightly, then turned to Li Yuan and said, "Ambassador Li, you should save your energy and consider how to explain to His Majesty your alleged collusion with the enemy, I am stupid." I will bring the army directly in front of His Majesty, at most three miles away, and I will stop the army from advancing!"
"Oh, that's right." Chen Yingliang said with a smile again: "Prefect Yin, watch Ambassador Li closely, let him follow me to see His Majesty later, we can't keep him in the army."
"I will understand." Yin Shishi agreed with a sinister smile, while Li Yuan looked at Yin Shishi with resentment, squinting sideways at Yin Shishi and didn't know what he was thinking.
When Emperor Sui Yang's Luanjia was in sight, Chen Yingliang decisively ordered the army to stop advancing, got off his horse and personally led the whole army to pay respects to Emperor Sui Yang in a row, shouting in unison, "Ten Thousand Years of the Son of Heaven", and then led Yin Shishi, Li Jing, and Yun Dingxing , Wang Shichong, Liu Changgong, Li Yuan and others stepped forward on foot, and explained very carefully that no one was allowed to bring their own soldiers, and only ten soldiers of the Nationalist Army were allowed to escort Shibi Khan and then they walked towards Emperor Sui Yang one after the other. .
Seeing Chen Yingliang and others walking over from a distance, the anti-Chen faction such as Yu Shiji and Feng Deyi beside Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty all cursed the little cunning. Emperor Yang stroked his beard and smiled, saying: "That's right, I didn't expect Chen Aiqing to be so stable at such a young age, without any arrogance or frivolity, rare, rare."
"Vice Envoy Chen is very personable and smart." Uncle Xiao Guo praised indifferently, and then, as if he had discovered a new continent, he pointed at the ten soldiers of the Nationalist Army behind Chen Yingliang and the others and exclaimed: "Your Majesty, please take a look. There are about a dozen soldiers behind Fushi Chen, and they are all his confidantes serving the national army. What does he want to do? Should we take precautions?"
"Doctor Xiao, is your method of slander too low?" Fan Zigai said angrily, "Didn't you see those soldiers of the Nationalist Army escorting a person? Fushi Chen must have captured an important prisoner. I want to offer up prisoners! The Nationalist Army belongs to Youwuwei, when did it become Fushi Chen's confidant again?"
"Fan Shangshu, please pay attention to your words and deeds." Not to be outdone, Uncle Xiao Guo retorted: "As ministers, shouldn't it be reasonable for us to worry about His Majesty's safety? Besides, what kind of captives need to offer captives to His Majesty now? Could it be that Deputy Chen has captured Shibi Bandit Chieftain? Except for Shibi Bandit Chieftain, do the other captives need to be offered to His Majesty now?"
"Doctor Xiao is justified." Yu Shiji agreed: "Except for Shibi Chieftain, any captives don't need to present to His Majesty face to face. After all, Deputy Envoy Chen is still younger and greedy for merit."
Hearing these nitpicking nonsense, the hot-tempered Fan Zigai was of course furious, but fortunately Emperor Sui Yang stopped the argument in time, which stopped the argument between Fan Zigai and Xiao Guoshu and others. , Chen Yingliang and others have also come close, Sui Yang Emperor laughed, and simply took the initiative to walk towards Chen Yingliang and others, Sui Ting Wenwu hurriedly followed, Chen Sangliang and others over there did not dare to neglect, and hurried to Sui Yang Emperor Shan Kneeling down, Jishou saluted, and said neatly: "The minister waits to see His Majesty!"
"Everyone, Aiqing, please get up quickly, please get up quickly." Emperor Sui Yang laughed and stepped forward, and personally helped Chen Yingliang get up, and said with a smile: "Chen Aiqing, you have worked hard, please get up quickly, everyone." Aiqing, please get up too."
"My minister came too late to rescue me, and I hope His Majesty will forgive me." Chen Yingliang said sincerely and fearfully: "My minister is incompetent. I have not been able to break through the Turks and lift the siege of Yanmen for a long time. As a result, Your Majesty has suffered a lot in the city. My minister will die."
"It's okay, it's already fast, faster than I expected. Chen Aiqing, get up, let me take a closer look at you, I haven't seen you for two years, I really miss you."
Smiling, he helped Chen Yingliang himself up, and Emperor Sui Yang was able to see Chen Yingliang's ugly and wretched face carefully. He also found that after not seeing him for more than two years, Chen Sangliang grew taller than before, darker and stronger. It's just that the childishness is still there, the eyes with black eye circles are bloodshot, and the face and body are covered with traces of dust, sweat and smoke. He looks a little embarrassed and very tired. Emperor Sui Yang was somewhat moved, so he patted Chen Sangliang She said: "Aiqing, you have worked hard, you have grown taller, and I can rest assured that I will hand over the heavier burden to you."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Chen Yingliang hurriedly saluted and thanked him, then remembered an important matter, hurriedly turned around and shouted: "Come on, please forgive me, Your Majesty!"
While singing the promise, ten soldiers of the Nationalist Army escorted the prisoners of war and strode forward. Seeing this, Uncle Xiao Guo immediately took revenge, and said very unhappy: "Vice Envoy Chen, are you too anxious? Your Majesty still Didn’t talk to other King Qin generals, what kind of captives are you rushing to offer? What kind of captives can be so important? Could it be that you captured the Sibi thief chief... Ah! Shibi Khan! How is it really Shibi Khan?! "
Hearing Xiao Guoshu's distraught screams, Emperor Sui Yang and Sui Ting Wenwu were all taken aback. When they hurriedly looked carefully at the captives escorted by the soldiers of the Nationalist Army, they saw that the man was tall and big, his head was covered with blood, and he was dressed in dirty clothes. The color of the golden armor was almost invisible, and after carefully figuring out the appearance of the captive, Pei Ju also exclaimed, "Your Majesty, it is really Shibi Bandit Chieftain!"
Emperor Sui Yang's face turned red immediately, not because of embarrassment, but because his face was flushed with blood, and Shibi Khan was also very well-behaved, as soon as he was escorted in front of Emperor Sui Yang, he immediately knelt down on the ground and yelled , the chattering fast statement, and the interpreter next to him quickly translated, the content was begging for mercy and begging for the forgiveness of Emperor Sui Yang.
Seeing the embarrassment of Shibi Khan begging for mercy, Emperor Sui Yang's face gradually returned to normal, but the anger in his heart became more and more intense. Thinking of the Turkic Feather Arrow shot in front of him, remembering how he cried bitterly while hugging his youngest son Yang Gao, and even remembering how he returned from his three-time personal expedition to Goguryeo without success. He raised his foot, stepped on Shibi Khan's head suddenly, and shouted, "Don't you want to kill me? Don't you want my life? I'm here, let you kill me, You come to kill! You come to kill!"
Translating Emperor Sui Yang's roar into Turkic language, Shibi Khan didn't even dare to move, put his forehead on the ground, weeping and continued to beg for mercy, while Emperor Sui Yang kicked him hard on the top of the head Go up, and shouted: "Press it! It's a good thing to watch! Wait for me to free up my hand, and then slowly release it!"
The imperial army sang promises, stepped forward and dragged Shibi Khan up and walked back, while the civil and military forces of the Sui court rushed to bow to Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty, praising Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty for his blessings and blessings. One hundred thousand Turks vanished. Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty gasped heavily, then turned his gaze to Chen Yingliang, and said loudly: "Chen Aiqing, you not only saved me this time, but you also saved my great Sui court, you also defeated the Turks for me, and captured you alive. Bandit chieftain! Your meritorious service is unrivaled in the world, and I will reward you heavily! Say it yourself, how will I reward you?"
"I don't dare." Chen Sangliang hurriedly cupped his hands, and said modestly: "The reason why our army was able to defeat the Turks and capture the bandit chiefs alive is all thanks to the emperor Hong Fu. The soldiers work hard, Wei..."
Speaking of this, Chen Sangliang's body shook involuntarily, and his voice became extremely weak, "Wei... Weichen, there is no size... merit...."
Insisting on finishing this sentence, the evil Chen Sangliang couldn't hold on any longer, his eyes went dark, and he fell directly in front of Emperor Sui Yang, and suddenly he didn't know what happened.
"Chen Aiqing! Chen Aiqing, what's the matter with you?" Emperor Sui Yang was taken aback, and hurried to help Chen Sangliang himself, shaking and asking about Chen Sangliang's situation, but Chen Sangliang fell in the arms of Emperor Sui Yang, his eyes tight Shut up and remain unconscious.
"Your Majesty, please let me take a look." Yin Shishi stepped forward and knelt down to Emperor Sui Yang Jishou. While helping Emperor Sui Yang to support Chen Yingliang, he checked Chen Yingliang's situation, and then quickly said to Emperor Sui Yang: "Your Majesty Please rest assured, Fushi Chen just passed out and his life is not in danger."
"Why did Chen Aiqing faint?" Emperor Sui Yang looked at Chen Yingliang's appearance and said in surprise, "Chen Aiqing, you don't seem to be injured?"
"Yes." Uncle Xiao Guo also said impatiently: "Vice Envoy Chen was not injured, how could he suddenly faint? Is he really fainted or fake?"
"Really faint or fake?" Yin Shishi was furious, and said angrily: "Doctor Xiao, if it were you, you would not rest or sleep for three days and three nights. Once, I received more than 60 generals, large and small, handled more than 200 military official documents, planned and arranged the Yanmen decisive battle last night, and then personally led the army of 130,000 King Qin to charge into the battle, and persisted until the Turks were defeated and Shibi was captured alive. Lead Qin Wang's army to meet His Majesty! Are you really fainted, or fake fainted?!"
"Didn't sleep for three days and three nights? Did you do so many things?" Uncle Xiao Guo was full of suspicion, "Really? Prefect Yin, how did you know?"
"Shut up!" Emperor Sui Yang was suddenly furious and yelled at Uncle Xiao Guo, then turned to Master Yin and asked, "Aiqing, Chen Aiqing is really working so hard?"
"Your Majesty, Deputy Envoy Chen is really working so hard." Shishi Yin nodded and replied: "Vice Envoy Chen has not rested for three days and three nights. Mountains of military official documents, camp inspections, appeasement of the soldiers, every time there is a war, he has to go to the front line to command, one person does the work of several people, and since the Qin King War started, he has never touched a drop of wine, Even if he rewarded the army after the big victory, he still used water instead of wine, in order to stay awake all the time and dare not have any negligence. My humble minister dared to think that your Majesty, you appointed Chen Fushi as the commander of King Qin, it was really correct. "
Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty remained silent, and stroked Chen Sangliang's dusty face with his hands, while Wang Shichong took the opportunity to say: "Your Majesty, there is something I must report to you. The child of my daughter should have given birth a few days ago. The child is safe, whether it is a boy or a girl. Both Chen Fushi and Weichen don't know yet. Weichen's nephew mentioned it in front of Chen Fushi. He replied that King Qin's important affairs are important, he has no time to care about them, and only asks His Majesty's blessings to allow his first child to be born safely."
Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was still silent, and after a while he let go of Chen Yingliang, stood up, and said loudly: "The aiqings have worked hard, get up, come and carry Chen Aiqing into the city, so that my imperial doctor can take good care of her. King Qin The army performs its duties, and Chen Aiqing's position as commander-in-chief is temporarily replaced by Yin Aiqing."
Everyone agreed, and the guards of the Imperial Army hurried forward and carried Chen Yingliang down, who was sleeping like a dead pig. Who would have thought that Li Yuan would suddenly ask Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, my humble minister Li Yuan has something to say. Say."
Emperor Sui Yang's gaze finally turned to Li Yuan, and said with a sneer, "Li Aiqing, what do you have to say? Do you want to call for injustice? Do you think Chen Aiqing wronged you by putting you under house arrest and depriving you of military power?"
"Your Majesty forgive me, I dare not complain." Li Yuan said respectfully: "I was confused for a while, and I was indeed suspected of secretly colluding with the Turks. Deputy Chen put me under house arrest. I deserved it. I pleaded guilty. Fortunately, the truth is now out. , I just concealed the Turkic letter, I didn't secretly inform Shibi that the traitor chiefs had treasoned with the enemy, and I was willing to accept the crime of being confused. However, as a subject, I must remind your majesty that the master of the Yin world is here People have ulterior motives and cannot be used to great effect, it seems inappropriate for His Majesty to let him temporarily take charge of King Qin's army on behalf of Fushi Chen."
"How can Yin Aiqing have ulterior motives?" Emperor Sui Yang asked with a sneer.
"Yin Shishi is so bold that he set up a secret spy to monitor all the officials!" Li Yuan said viciously: "After Fushi Chen became the commander-in-chief of King Qin, he took Yin Shishi as the chief army judge and was in charge of the criminal law of the entire army. The army, taking the opportunity to entangle minions, set up secret eyeliners, spy on the king and generals of King Qin, make charges, set up private files, secretly record the words and deeds of civil and military officials, and run amok! As far as I know, he not only bribed the guards of Weichen to spy on them secretly Wei Chen, Deputy Envoy Chen Yingliang, Wang Shichong Wang Juncheng, Old General Yun Ding Xingyun and General Liu Changgong Liu are all surrounded by his minions who are secretly watching!"
"What's even more appalling is that!" Li Yuan said loudly again: "Master Yin even planted eyeliner around His Royal Highness Qi Wang, secretly spying on His Highness Qi Wang's eyes. The crime is obvious and cannot be tolerated!"
"What?" Yang Hao was taken aback, and exclaimed, "There is also an eyeliner arranged by Yin Shishi beside me?"
"Yes!" Li Yuan nodded vigorously, and said loudly: "Your Highness, I don't know if you still remember? After the siege of Nao County was rescued a few days ago, Master Yin gave you some beautiful maids in the name of serving you. The maids are actually Master Yin's spy on you! If Your Highness doesn't believe you, you can immediately take down those maids for interrogation, but I have half a lie, and I would like to receive Ling Chi's punishment!"
Yang Hao's face suddenly changed drastically, while Uncle Xiao Guo, Yu Shiji and others on the other side were overjoyed, and hurriedly shouted: "Your Majesty, this matter must be investigated to the end, Master Yin is so unscrupulous, even the prince dares to do it." Send people to monitor, act so boldly and lawlessly, if you don't punish severely, where is the law of the country?!"
Li Yuan's sudden exposure of Yin Shishi's crimes was of course aimed at muddying the waters. First, the crimes of his hateful subordinates were confirmed, and then Li Jing was involved, and then Li Jing and Chen Sangliang, who was behind Yin Shishi, were involved. vicious! However, what puzzled Li Yuan was that after hearing his report, Yin Shishi, who had a mountain of criminal evidence, looked relaxed, as if he didn't care at all. The always hot-tempered Emperor Sui Yang also remained calm, and suddenly said: " So that's the case, Li Aiqing, I have a question for you, how did you know about Yin Aiqing's actions?"
Li Yuan was stunned for a moment, and was immediately speechless, while Yin Shishi took the initiative to report to Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty: "Your Majesty, Ambassador Li's confidantes bought a soldier who was close to Weichen, so they know about these things. At that time, the situation was complicated, and for the sake of the overall situation, I didn't want to shake the morale of the army for such a trivial matter, so I pretended not to know, and let Ambassador Li's eyeliner spy on the situation of my minister."
"Aiqing is old-fashioned in seeking the country and taking care of the overall situation. You have worked hard."
Emperor Sui Yang's approval surprised everyone, and then Emperor Sui Yang smiled and said to Li Yuan: "Li Aiqing, it seems that you have been accused of another crime. You set up spying, spying on your colleagues, and spying on military aircraft. You can say it yourself. How should I reward you?"
Li Yuan's face turned pale, and he didn't even dare to say the sentence that "the minister and the Yin Shishi share the same crime". Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty smiled again and said, "Li Aiqing, don't you find one thing very strange? During the time of Tuyuhun, Yin Aiqing was granted the prefect of Zhangye to guard the rear for me. When I personally conquered Goguryeo, Yin Aiqing was granted the title of Zhuojun to stay behind and guarded the rear for me. During my northern tour of the Great Wall, Yin Aiqing was demoted without fault and demoted to a The prefect of Loufan and the supervisor of Fenyang Palace still guards the rear for me, why should I do this? Why does Yin Aiqing have no complaints?"
Asking with a smile, Emperor Sui Yang asked Li Yuan again with a sinister smile: "Li Aiqing, you are also a relative of the emperor and an important minister of the court, so you haven't even heard of the yamen of internal and external marquis?"
"Internal and external officials?!" (Equivalent to the unscrupulous people in the Tang Dynasty, the Huangcheng Division in the Song Dynasty, the Zhenfu Division and Dongchang in the Ming Dynasty.)
There was a loud bang in Li Yuan's head, and he almost fainted on the ground—what the hell is this? Finding a traitor found Li Jing, the closest blood relative to Chen Yingliang, and sued Diao on the country's largest spy chief. What kind of fucking luck is this
While Li Yuan's face was as white as paper, Uncle Xiao Guo and Yu Shiji, who were still arrogant before, also subconsciously took a step back, trying to stay away from Master Yin as much as possible—their buttocks are not clean, maybe there is something wrong with them It is in the hands of the great secret agent Yin Shishi. Emperor Sui Yang turned to Yang Hao again, and said, "Yin'er, don't blame him for what Yin Aiqing did to you. This is his responsibility and the power I gave him!"
Yang Hao nodded quickly, and at the same time, immediately put Yin Shishi on the list of candidates who must be wooed—it can be seen from Sui Yang Emperor's trust in Yin Shishi, Yin Shishi definitely never announced his name to the public There is no doubt that the officials inside and outside are right!
"Your Majesty, the identity of my minister has been announced, so I want to say something in public." Yin Shishi opened his mouth and cupped his hands to Emperor Sui Yang and said, "Your Majesty, this minister wants to impeach Ambassador Li Yuan!"
"Speak." Emperor Sui Yang ordered casually.
"Your Majesty." Yin Shishi said unceremoniously: "Before, when the teachers of King Qin from all walks of life gathered at Xinkou, Deputy Envoy Chen Yingliang and Deputy Envoy Chen never drank alcohol. Standing up a camp and defending against the enemy side by side, Ambassador Li would first invite the generals of the friendly army to pass through the camp for a drink every time. Every time he was so drunk, he would always instigate the friendly troops to set up the camp behind Fushi Chen's King Qin's camp and avoid contact with the Turks. Forming cliques and spying on the commander-in-chief. When the Turkic army stormed Chen Fushi's exhausted army, Ambassador Li deliberately got the entire army drunk and refused to send troops to rescue, just sitting and watching Chen Fushi fighting alone!"
Li Yuan's face was ashen, and Sui Yang Emperor's face was also livid, but Yin Shishi said: "That's not enough, there are even more shocking things! The internal and external officials arranged by Wei Chen in the Taigu area of Qi County also submitted a secret report. Chen Yingliang, Deputy Envoy Chen went north via Qi County to replenish food and grass. Ambassador Li actually ordered his subordinates to secretly threaten the local merchants and not allow the local merchants to sell grain to Deputy Envoy Chen's Qin Wang army. Protect!"
"Is this really the case?" Emperor Sui Yang asked in shock.
"That's true." Yin Shishi nodded, and said: "In addition, Liu Hongji and Changsun Shunde, the staff members under Ambassador Li's command, were originally criminals who fled under the guise of guilt. Before the end of last year, Your Majesty, you have been missing the whole world. Unknown, they appeared under Ambassador Li's command immediately after receiving His Majesty's pardon. The minister felt that the matter was strange, so he took the opportunity to investigate the matter. According to Ambassador Li's guard, Hou Junji, the two had been working together before being pardoned. Hiding in Tang County, Ambassador Li's fief!"
"Li Yuan!" The muscles on Emperor Sui Yang's face twitched.
Poor Ambassador Li collapsed directly on the ground, foaming from the corner of his mouth, and said with difficulty: "Wei..., damn the humble minister, the matter of food, in order to compete with Chen Fushi, I was confused for a while... Liu Hongji and The eldest grandson Shunde, and I don't even know that they were hiding in Tang County before..."
"Take it down!" Sui Yang Emperor yelled hysterically, "Take Li Yuan down for me! I will hand it over to the third envoy for interrogation and investigation, and you will not be punished for serious crimes! Fan Zigai, I will seal you as Taiyuan stay-at-home, and you will take office immediately! After you take office , Immediately clean up the Taiyuan army for me, and see if this relative of mine has any accomplices whose origins are unknown, and punish them for me!"
Fan Zigai agreed quietly, but Li Yuan trembled even more, because Li Yuan knew very well that Fan Zigai was honest and upright, but he was a rare and violent official who was cruel and easy to kill! With him taking over as Taiyuan's stay-at-home, the Taiyuan lineage that he managed to form with great difficulty will definitely disappear.
