At the end of the Sui Dynasty, I am the king

Chapter 91: Emperor Sui Yang returns

Views:

In addition to being busy preparing for the inspection by Emperor Sui Yang, every day is like going to a market to do business, worshiping the pier behind the ass of the distant uncle Pei Hongce, and visiting the residences of various dignitaries and ministers in Daxing City, pretending to be a grandson. Elders, build relationships and make friends, burn incense and pray to the Buddha, rely on various backers of different heights, embrace thighs of various thicknesses, and meet relatives and friends who are useful and useless. At the same time that he was half dead tired, time passed quickly. In a blink of an eye, it was the day when Emperor Sui Yang returned to Luan Daxing. Chen Yingliang, who had traveled back to this era for more than three months, finally won the title of Emperor Sui Yang, the notorious eternal tyrant. chance to meet.

Everyone knew that Emperor Sui Yang had a face-saving temper. In order to gain a good reputation, Emperor Sui Yang, who had not returned to Daxing for several years, set the time of returning to Luan on the ninth day of September in the ninth year of Daye, the Double Ninth Festival. For this reason, not only Fan Zigai and other important officials in the Eastern Capital were forced to abandon the aftermath of the war against the rebellion and rushed to Daxing to welcome them, but the Guan Wenwu officials headed by Wei Xuan were tortured enough. Immediately started preparations for the ceremony, and mobilized hundreds of thousands of civilians to rush to work day and night. The most basic loess pad road was paved with fine yellow river sand for 30 miles on the official road, and both sides of the road were filled with colorful flags to decorate Taiping , what else is necessary to renovate the palace, clean the streets, clean up the ditches, arrange flowers, palace lanterns, drums, and colored cards, etc., so that the stubborn old Wei and other Daxing civil and military officials are so busy that they can't do it every day. Sleeping for two hours, the gold, silver, money and food consumed are incalculable.

This, in fact, was the result of Emperor Sui Yang’s kindness and kindness. Considering the lack of time to prepare adequately, and the fact that Yu Wenshu and Pei Yun were not around when the decision was made, the Sui Dynasty was eager to return to Daxing to deal with Yang Xuangan and Li Zixiong himself. Emperor Yangdi, for the first time, used simple and concise words in the decree to Wei Xuan. Otherwise, the civil and military officials of Daxing, headed by Wei Xuan, don't have three or two months to prepare a return ceremony that satisfies Emperor Sui Yang if they don't increase the cost by ten or eight times!

The guard of honor is only secondary, the most important thing is to meet the requirements of Emperor Sui Yang to inspect the soldiers who have made great contributions to countering the rebellion, especially the national service army under Chen Yingliang. team. For this reason, the soldiers of the Bao Guojun not only changed into the best Mingguang armor, but also issued three white cloaks to each of them to keep the white robes spotless. A tall white horse with mottled hair! The huge expenditure invested in the Baoguo Army made Chen Yingliang, the chief general of the Baoguo Army, couldn't help but sigh, "If only I could have so much office funds in the 21st century, the office The U disk in the computer will be directly loaded with local gold."

By the way, from top to bottom, from head to toe, everything in the army of serving the country has been replaced with new ones. There is only one thing that has not been replaced, and that is the military flag written by Fan Zigai himself. With six arrow holes, Chen Yingliang categorically rejected the request to change the military flag, and insisted on accepting the inspection of Emperor Sui Yang with this military flag. Regarding this, Wei Xuan complained quite a bit, but Fan Zigai laughed loudly, and even praised Chen Yingliang for being filial and sensible, after all, he did not love Chen Yingliang in vain.

The hard work was not in vain. On the day of the Double Ninth Festival on the ninth day of September, Daxing was unprecedentedly grand inside and outside the city. The 50-meter-wide Zhuque Street had never been so clean since Chen Yingliang remembered it. The bluestone pavement was so bright that it could be used as a For mirrors, colorful flags, flowers and palace lanterns are lined up on both sides of the road, from Mingde Gate to Suzaku Gate, and the guards of the imperial city in bright armor stand in line, the scene is extremely spectacular.

The more spectacular scene was outside the city. Flowers and colored flags stretched for 30 miles. There were huge crowds of soldiers and civilians on both sides of the road, and the flags covered the sun. Arriving directly at Baqiao to greet them, all the Sui Army troops who were inspected were brand-new and lined up in order. The large and small military flags were all over the mountains and plains, covering the sky and the sun, and the sound of drums and music was heard for ten miles, uninterrupted.

The heavens are beautiful, the ninth day of September happens to be a fine day with high autumn air, under the blue sky and white clouds, and far away from the official road, a larger guard of honor is slowly heading west. Dressed in bright red and colorful flags, they directly crossed the Ba Bridge and lined up on both sides of the road to escort them. Then more than 600 luxury carriages, surrounded by a large number of armored guards who also wore red and colorful colors, also came westward amidst the sound of ceremony and music. The carriage was extraordinarily luxurious and tall, and it was pulled by twelve unblemished horses. Naturally, it was the royal carriage of Sui Yang Emperor and his old man.

Yang You, Wei Xuan, Fan Zigai and others were all people who had participated in the welcoming drive for many times. Seeing Emperor Sui Yang's imperial chariot driving up the Ba Bridge, Yang You, Wei Xuan and others immediately worshiped at the bridge head and led all the officials to call Ten thousand years of the Son of Heaven, then the imperial chariot stopped in front of Yang You and others amidst the sound of drums and music. The forty-four-year-old Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Guang, had handsome features, wore a crown of emperor embellished with gold silk and jade, and stepped on a yellow forged crown. Sandalwood, who was wrapped, strode down from the royal chariot, picked up Yang You, who was only eight years old, and said with a smile: "Good grandson, don't be so polite, let grandfather see, you have grown up now How many?"

Yang You hurriedly called out his grandfather sweetly, Emperor Sui Yang laughed, looked at his grandson carefully, and then laughed with satisfaction and said: "Yes, I haven't seen you for a few years, my grandson is almost grown up, tell grandfather , have you obediently listened to your teacher? Eat meals and read books on time every day?"

"Listen." Yang You replied: "The grandson follows the emperor's order. Every time we meet, he will perform discipleship ceremony to Master Wei. He listens to his words, eats four meals a day, reads in the morning and evening, and starts to learn riding and archery. In the future, I will share my worries with my grandfather."

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was even more overjoyed, and said with a smile: "Okay, my grandson is doing well, and I am very satisfied. Wei Aiqing, Fan Aiqing, you should all be free from courtesy. I have entrusted both things and two grandchildren of the Sui Dynasty to you." You, you did not disappoint me."

Fan Zigai thanked loudly, and stood up after another salute. Wei Xuan was still standing on the ground, Emperor Sui Yang couldn't help being slightly taken aback, and said with a smile: "Wei Aiqing, I have already given you a life-saving exemption? Why don't you get up?"

"Your Majesty, the old minister has no face to see the holy face, and dare not accept the order." Wei Xuangai, the most loyal old running dog of Emperor Sui Yang, knelt down on his knees and said tremblingly: "This time when the old minister came out of Tongguan, he repeatedly lost his troops and lost his generals. It is an unforgivable crime to humiliate the country, and I dare not see the holy face, so I beg your majesty to take it seriously."

"Victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs, Wei Aiqing doesn't have to mind." Sui Yang Emperor smiled and said: "Besides, Aiqing assisted the Dongdu army to capture the traitor Yang Xuangan alive. mind then."

With a smile, he pardoned Old Wei's stubbornness for almost compensating the 40,000 troops. Emperor Sui Yang also ordered his grandson Yang You to help him with him. Old Wei, who was still a little worried, heaved a sigh of relief, and then apologized again and again. Then stand up. Then Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty smiled and said: "By the way, Fan Aiqing and Wei Aiqing, where is that little Chen Qingzhi you made so much of in the memorial? Why didn't you introduce me? What does Chen Qingzhi look like?"

"Report to Your Majesty, Chen Yingliang is leading the Nationalist Army and waiting for His Majesty's inspection." Fan Zigai replied respectfully, and pointed out the location of Chen Yingliang.

"It's true that everyone is wearing white robes, conspicuous and energetic, not bad." Emperor Sui Yang praised the national army from a distance, then waved to the ministers in front of him and said, "Everyone, please be flat, and follow me to inspect this The team that made great contributions to suppressing the rebellion will also accompany me to meet Chen Qingzhi of our Great Sui Dynasty and see what he looks like."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" All the ministers thanked Shan Shan and got up one after another. Among the officials, Pei Yun and Pei Hongce and other members of the Pei family were secretly happy, because they heard Emperor Sui Yang mention Chen Yingliang twice, and knew that Emperor Sui Yang had He has a good impression of Chen Yingliang, and knows that the Pei clan's goal of cultivating a capable general in the Great Sui Army is already very promising.

At this time, the civil and military officials who accompanied Emperor Sui Yang back to Daxing had also arrived, and they joined the officials from the eastern and western capitals. For the car, a special order was given to allow Wei Xuan and Fan Zigai, two old lackeys, to go to the station to settle, and then issued another order, the imperial car moved slowly, and Emperor Sui Yang officially began to inspect the anti-insurgency and meritorious teams.

While the imperial chariot was slowing down, the first to be inspected was the Zuo Wuwei team of the Daxing local snake. Seeing that the Zuo Wuwei team, which had been hit hard repeatedly, still maintained an orderly formation, the voice of Shan Hu Tianzi Wannian was loud enough, showing that he was still high-spirited. Emperor Yang of Sui nodded his head in satisfaction, and said: "Zuo Wuwei is not bad. I heard that after repeated setbacks, he still regrouped and fought again. In the end, he killed more than 10,000 enemies in Mianchi and captured many of them. An important traitor, he can be regarded as a typical example of my great Sui's perseverance."

"Decree, this time the Zuo Wuwei soldiers who participated in the suppression of the rebellion, except for the scum who surrendered to the rebels, will not be punished for the crime of ineffective combat, and reward the three armies as a reward." This is the arrangement of Sui Yangdi for the Zuo Wuwei team. He also said: "The doctor Hu Siwan made great achievements in the battle, and captured the rebel leaders such as Laiyuan and Yang Gongdao alive. , three hundred acres of fertile land. The rest of the meritorious officials and soldiers will be rewarded according to the law."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zuo Wuwei's team cheered like thunder, and countless civil and military officials of Daxing who were unable to fight were also relieved. A catastrophe of relegation and dismissal.

Next, of course, is You Wuwei's Liu Changgong's team. General Liu is sorry for the war, but he has a good way of flattering. With the same number of soldiers undergoing inspection, You Wuwei neatly shouted the slogan of the emperor's ten thousand years, and his voice was stunned It is more than 30% higher than Zuo Wuwei's team, and General Liu's contribution this time is indeed not small. Emperor Sui Yang was naturally more satisfied, stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Okay! I have heard about it for a long time. This time, Yang Xuangan's traitors can be quickly calmed down. Apart from serving the national army, Liu Aiqing's team has the most outstanding military exploits. It should be commended and encouraged.”

"Your Majesty, General Liu's military exploits were mainly achieved in field battles." Fan Zigai, who has always been displeased with Liu Changgong, refused to let Liu Changgong covet the achievements of the sky, and said quickly: "The defense of Luoyang, the one who contributed the most is You Wuwei. Huya led Xie Zichong's team, and Yang Xuangan's rebels attacked Luoyang three times, but General Xie's team repelled them all, their performance is remarkable, and the credit is by no means inferior to General Liu's."

"Very good, then everyone should be rewarded." Emperor Sui Yang smiled and said: "Declaration, Liu Changgong, Xie Zichong, each reward 800 bolts of colored silk, a thousand grains, a house in Luoyang City, and 300 mu of fertile land. The rest are meritorious Soldiers, all should be rewarded for worrying! Fan Aiqing, you don’t need to save money for me. In fact, the main battle of this counter-insurgency war was fought by the Dongdu army under your command. You have to reward them heavily for me.”

"According to the order, the old minister thanked His Majesty's grace on behalf of the soldiers of You Wuwei." Fan Zigai thanked respectfully, but was extremely depressed in his heart, "Fuck, Liu Changgong is a good-for-nothing trash, and he followed Ying Liang to pick cheap things, and he didn't even know what to do. Receive the reward together with Xie Zichong, who has made great efforts anyway. Liu Ya on the battlefield, why didn’t he shoot this trash to death, leaving him to continue to harm You Wuwei!”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Seeing the ecstatic appearance of thanking General Liu, Emperor Sui Yang, who was in a very good mood, smiled slightly, and was about to issue an order to continue to move forward, but suddenly there was a neat and loud singing in the ranks of the Nationalist Army in front of him. , Sui Yang Emperor couldn't help being surprised, and quickly asked: "Wei Aiqing, Fan Aiqing, why did you start singing in front? Didn't I make an order?"

"Your Majesty, forgive me. This is an arrangement made by the old minister after discussing with Wei Shangshu." Fan Zigai quickly said respectfully, "This military song was created by Chen Yingliang, the secretary of the Zanzhi Mansion in Henan Province. He made outstanding contributions in this battle against the rebellion The Nationalist Army used this song as a military song, and they often sang it neatly during battles, so as to deter the rebels and strengthen our army. The lyrics of this song are majestic and the meaning of the words is loyal. Your Majesty, please listen."

No need for Fan Zigai to say that Emperor Sui Yang had actually been listening intently for a long time. He listened carefully to the majestic lyrics and the loyal voice from the bottom of his heart. "Go and have a look."

The imperial chariot continued to move, and soon arrived in front of the National Defense Army team that was finally inspected. What puzzled Emperor Sui Yang was that the military guards on the left and right in front were neatly lined up, the most elite troops in the legend. The national newspaper army team was in disarray, standing in disarray, and at the same time there were some neatly folded armors on the ground. What was even more outrageous was that there was a child holding a suit of armor, standing Under the regiment flag of the Nationalist Army.

Seeing this scene, Emperor Sui Yang naturally turned his head to look at Fan Zigai, his eyes were full of doubts, Fan Zigai and Wei Xuan hurriedly saluted together, and respectfully said: "Your Majesty, forgive me, this is what Chen Yingliang begged to the veterans again and again. Grace, those armors placed on the ground are the armors of soldiers of the Nationalist Army who died in the war against the rebellion. Chen Yingliang begged that these heroic spirits of the Sui Dynasty could also be inspected by His Majesty to reward them for their sacrifices for the country. Veterans, etc. Feeling his loyalty, he boldly agreed to him on behalf of His Majesty. Veteran ministers and others have acted in their own right, please Majesty to come down."

Hearing this, Emperor Sui Yang was expressionless, and the civil and military officials beside him did not dare to say anything—although this was a great opportunity to attack Fan Zigai and Wei Xuan, the favorite ministers of Emperor Sui Yang, after a long time, Emperor Sui Yang suddenly stood up Come on, without saying a word, he strode down from the royal chariot and walked directly to the Nationalist Army team. Fan Zigai, Wei Xuan and all the civil and military officials quickly followed.

Striding to the banner of serving the country with loyalty, Emperor Sui Yang first looked up at the military flag with arrow holes, and then asked Fan Zigai: "Fan Aiqing, the words "serve the country with loyalty" seem to be Is it your own handwriting?"

"Your Majesty, it is the old minister's clumsy pen." Fan Zigai replied respectfully: "When the army of serving the country was formed, Chen Yingliang begged the old man to write this military flag with his own hand, saying that he would always encourage the soldiers in the army to serve the country loyally and fight the enemy bravely. To counteract the rebellion for the country, and vowed never to humiliate this flag."

"Then did they humiliate this military flag?" Emperor Sui Yang asked calmly.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the old minister does not think so." Fan Zigai was the one who defied all opinions and used Chen Yingliang to form the National Defense Army. He would naturally try his best to put money on his old face, and said respectfully: "There are four regiments in the National Defense Army. Eight hundred and forty-five people participated in more than ten battles, large or small, and 291 people died for the country, and 28 people were rewarded to the disabled. None surrendered, none were captured, and none retreated before the battle. Everyone has served the country with loyalty and never regretted death, and the veterans think that they have not humiliated this military flag."

Emperor Sui Yang was silent again, and then slowly walked into the queue of the national patriotic army, casually looking at the appearance of the soldiers of the national patriotic army, and lowered his head to look at the uniforms and armors stained with dark red blood, with a thoughtful expression. Finally, Emperor Sui Yang stood in front of the half-grown child holding the armor, and asked Fan Zigai, "Fan Aiqing, what does this mean?"

"Your Majesty, this kid is called Chen Lei, and his brother is Chen Zhihong. He is one of the four lieutenants of the Nationalist Army." Fan Zigai said in a heavy tone: "In the Hongnong War, the traitor Yang Xuangan almost spearheaded the leader of the Nationalist Army." Chen Yingliang, it was Chen Zhihong who knocked Chen Yingliang away, and used his body to block Yang Xuangan's spear for Chen Yingliang, before the moment, Chen Zhihong hugged the traitor Yang Xuangan tightly, winning the opportunity for the soldiers of the nationalist army to capture Yang Xuangan alive."

Emperor Sui Yang nodded slightly, then looked down at Chen Lei, who was only thirteen or fourteen years old, and asked kindly: "Little guy, what do you think about your brother dying to save others?"

Chen Lei was a little timid, and it was not until Fan Zigai encouraged him that Chen Lei whispered: "I am very sad and cried many times, but I am also very proud of having such a brother. When I grow up, I will be like my brother. Serve as a soldier in the Sui army, kill thieves and enemies for His Majesty the Emperor, serve the country faithfully, and die without regret.”

Emperor Sui Yang smiled, although he knew that someone must have taught these words on purpose, he still smiled and said: "Well, I will give you this opportunity, I will make you a thousand ox to prepare your body, and let you learn martial arts in the imperial city of the Eastern Capital." Xi Wen, would you like to protect my grandson Yue Wang Yang Hao for me?"

"Xiaomin is willing." Chen Lei quickly knelt and kowtowed.

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty smiled, and said loudly: "Pass the decree, Chen Zhihong, the captain of the Military Academy of the Republic of China, has made meritorious service in killing the thief and died heroically for me and the country. .”

Fan Zigai pointed Chen Lei to thank him again, and Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty said loudly: "Except for Chen Yingliang, each person who reported to the national army will be rewarded with 30 bolts of silk, 50 hu of grain, 30 mu of land, and 200 guan of money. The number of soldiers will be doubled, and their families will receive it! In terms of official positions, You Wuwei will be promoted from the best!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" All the officers and men of the Bao Guojun were overjoyed and expressed their thanks neatly.

"You don't need to thank me, you deserve it." Emperor Sui Yang waved his hand and said with a smile: "If you really want to thank me, I'll sing your military song again, I still want to hear it!"

"The smoke rises, the mountains and rivers look north! The dragon rolls up, the horse neighs, the sword energy is like frost, and the heart is like the water of the Yellow River..."

The neat and clear military song sounded again, but Emperor Sui Yang closed his eyes amidst the military song, and murmured, "Why do you regret a hundred deaths to serve your country? I would like to defend the land and open up the frontiers. The majestic Sui Dynasty wants all nations to congratulate it? If my soldiers can do this, what can barbarians like Turkic, Goguryeo, and Khitan count as?"

Sighing softly, Emperor Sui Yang opened his eyes again, and then strode up to the banner of Jingzhong Baoguo, striding to Chen Yingliang, who was leading the soldiers to sing in unison, did not dare to move, could only stand obediently and let Emperor Sui Yang looked at it carefully. It wasn't until the song was over that Emperor Sui Yang asked Chen Yingliang with a smile, "This military song? Did you write the lyrics and compose the music?"

"Your Majesty, yes." Chen Yingliang replied respectfully.

"Get up." Emperor Sui Yang first ordered Chen Yingliang to get up, and then asked: "I heard that you are only seventeen years old this year, and you came to Luoyang to join the army with a letter of recommendation to serve in the Liaodong Army. Is there such a thing?"

"Your Majesty, yes." Chen Yingliang replied.

"I heard that you scolded the eighteenth generation of Yang Xuangan's rebel ancestors in the city. Yang Xuangan was so angry that the rebels jumped into a rage and rushed up to shoot you with arrows. They were almost shot to death by the random arrows of the Dongdu defenders. Is there such a thing? ?” Emperor Sui Yang asked again.

"Your Majesty, yes." Chen Yingliang replied.

"I also heard." Emperor Sui Yang asked again, "It took you only thirteen days to train a group of recruits into an elite army, and then led this army to fight everywhere without a single defeat. The few win the many, the weak defeat the strong, and you lead hundreds of people into the tens of thousands of rebel troops, burn the rebel food and grass, and then break out of the rebel siege unscathed. Then, you lead a group of remnants to defeat the general Ten times stronger than the traitors, and captured Yang Xuangan and Li Zixiong traitors in one fell swoop. Are there any such things?"

"Your Majesty, yes." Chen Yingliang continued to parrot his tongue, but he still imitated his own tongue.

"Then do you know how I reacted when I first heard about your achievements?" Emperor Sui Yang continued to ask calmly.

"Your Majesty, the villain doesn't know." Chen Yingliang finally didn't have to repeat himself.

"At that time, I dropped the memorial and scolded Fan Aiqing for being greedy for merit and for fabricating such absurd achievements." Emperor Sui Yang smiled and said, "Then I suddenly remembered that Fan Aiqing was so loyal that it was impossible to lie to me. Then I picked up the memorial and read it again, but I was still skeptical until I confirmed it again and again before I believed it."

"However, I'm a little skeptical now." Emperor Sui Yang said with a smile: "I can't believe what I say now. How can you, a half-grown child, have the guts to travel thousands of miles alone? How did you fight so many beautiful battles? In the end, Yang Xuangan and Li Zixiong were captured alive?—Fan Aiqing, Wei Aiqing, how dare you swear in front of me that your report is true?"

"Old ministers, I swear to God that I will never say a word to deceive Your Majesty." Fan Zigai and Wei Xuan, two stubborn old men, replied in unison.

"Very good, I can believe it now." Emperor Sui Yang smiled and said, "Chen Yingliang, you are the number one hero in this counter-rebellion war. Three thousand guan, three hundred taels of gold, a house in Daxing City, and fifty servants. As for your official position..."

"Your Majesty!" Yu Wenshu, Zhou Fashang, Dugu Sheng and other generals of the Sui army who followed hurriedly took a step forward, scrambling to get Chen Yingliang, who had long been promising, into his account.

"Don't fight!" Emperor Sui Yang waved his hand to interrupt the pleas of several generals, and said with a smile: "Don't fight, and don't grab, I like this little guy, I keep it for myself, and I will keep it for myself in the future." For grandchildren."

After speaking with a smile, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty said loudly again: "Chen Yingliang, I know that your grandfather's title was the Duke of Xuchang County. I have already changed the title from the ninth class to the third class in the Sui Dynasty, so I will not re-noble you. I will make you the Duke of Xuchang." Marquis Xu Chang. As for your official position, you are still too young, I can't let my grandson seal you up, so I will temporarily seal you as the right inner deputy of the fifth rank prince!"

"The crown prince's deputy on the right? Why such a coincidence?" Chen Yingliang was taken aback, forgetting to thank Emperor Sui Yang for his kindness.

"What? I'm afraid there will be no good fruit to eat?" Emperor Sui Yang misunderstood Chen Yingliang's reaction and said with a smile, "Isn't your former father-in-law, Chai Shen, dismissed by my grandson? Leading Pei Xin, they are brothers of the same clan as Pei Aiqing, and they can also be regarded as your distant uncle, what are you afraid of being wronged under his command?"

"It turns out that this guy already knew my affairs so clearly." Chen Yingliang was startled, and hurriedly knelt down on one knee to salute, and said loudly: "My humble minister Chen Yingliang, thank you for your majesty's gift. Your majesty is as kind as heaven, Even if the humble minister is smashed to pieces, it will be difficult to repay him!"

"It's difficult to repay, so repay slowly." Emperor Sui Yang was not polite, and said with a smile: "I have plenty of time, and you also have plenty of time at such a young age. You can repay slowly. In the future, you can also repay my grandson."

Chen Yingliang smirked, he didn't know how to answer Sui Yang's joke, but he was secretly complaining, "Why aren't you a magistrate? Why don't you let me take charge of the army? From the rank of the fifth-rank crown prince to the right deputy, the rank is high enough , but without much real power, what is the use?"

Chen Yingliang smirked and complained quietly, while the brothers Pei Ju, Pei Yun and Pei Hongce behind Emperor Sui Yang smiled easily, especially Pei Hongce, who smiled the most relaxed and happiest.

Note: During the reign of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, the rate of the crown prince’s left and right sides was the fourth rank, and the deputy rate was the fourth rank. Later, the rate was changed to the fifth rank, and the vice rate was changed to the fifth rank. The specific change time is unknown. It is also unclear whether the product will be demoted together with the current officials. So the previous Chai Shenzheng's fourth grade should not be wrong, and at the same time, for the needs of the plot, let the protagonist feel wronged and drop some grades.
