In fact, when he was determined to let Li Yuan atone for money, Chen Yingliang had already prepared to form an irreconcilable hatred with the Li family. Anyway, it was a life-and-death hatred, and it was already deep enough, and it didn't matter how deep it was.

At the same time, Chen Yingliang was also mentally prepared to anger the entire Guanlong clan, but it didn't matter. The non-academic officials and Guanlong clans in the Sui and Tang dynasties have always fought to the death. He, who was already in a high position at a young age, must have constantly made enemies with the Guanlong clans. In addition, his relationship with the Guanlong clans was not good. In this case, he could not please them anyway after sacrificing the interests of the army. It would be better to offend them to protect the interests of the army and first sit firmly in the military position. A small fight will only make the grudges deeper and deeper, and the grudges will be settled in the family at once. There may be a day of ease.

In addition, Chen Yingliang was of course also prepared to be seen through by Emperor Yang of Sui, which in turn angered Emperor Yang of Sui. But what Chen Yingliang didn't expect was that after he jumped out of the way, he was the first to attack the Guanlong clan, he actually received a reward and promotion from Emperor Yang of Sui, and he publicly set up a carriage to cultivate himself. So after returning to the city with Emperor Yang of Sui for a long time, Chen Yingliang, who was dizzy, had not yet figured out the reason.

In this way, Chen Sangliang, who was in a misfortune, was very proud, but the poor Xiao Duke Xiao Guojiu was in great trouble. Not only was he sarcastic about the face of Emperor Yang of Sui as a civil and military official, he had to hurry back to Tianzhu to visit his brother-in-law Li Yuan, and solicit his brother-in-law's opinions - if you want money? Or if you want life? Next, it was the poor Duke Tang who was stunned and screamed: "One million guan? 300,000 pieces of silk? Brother Shi Wen, you should let Your Majesty kill me. How could I take out such a huge amount?"

"Brother Shude, don't tell jokes at this time." Xiao Qiongguo uncle wiped his cold sweat and said, "Your Majesty was so angry today that I was implicated and humiliated by Your Majesty in public. Your Majesty also threatened in public that if you don't give a reply before the palace gate is closed today, your Majesty will be asked to behead you in public tomorrow and you will have to keep all your property as a public use."

As he said that, President Xiao quickly told Li Yuan about the past and afterwards. Of course, he had to add fuel to the fire and insulted Chen Sangliang, who came up with this bad idea. However, when Li Yuan heard this, he cursed, "Did Chen Yingliang kill your whole family or dig your ancestral grave? Why did you harm me? One million silos of 300,000 pieces of silk, you didn't want my life, but you wanted to suck my tendons and peel my skin."

President Xiao also scolded Chen Yingliang. After finally cursing enough, Xiao General Xiao Guojiu could only urge Li Yuan to decide as soon as possible again. Li Yuan quickly planned and suddenly asked: "Where is Shimin? Have you told him about this?"

"Father, the child is here." Li Er's voice came from the dark cell corridor. Then, Li Er, who was nervous, and Xiao Guowei Xiao Huaijing, who looked mournful, walked quickly into the cell where rats and fleas everywhere. While saluting Li Yuan, he explained: "Uncle Xiao went home and told me the situation, and the child came right away. Father, are you still safe, right?"

"Stop talking nonsense." Li Yuan waved his hand unhappily and asked quickly: "Your Majesty heard the slander of Chen Yingliang's little thief and forced us to hand over a million guan and 300,000 pieces of silk to atone for his sins. What do you think?"

"You must pay, and you can only hand over the money and grain." Li Er answered firmly.

"Trial?" Two outsiders from Xiao Guojiu shouted first, "Erlang, aren't you joking? You really want to take out such a huge amount of money and food.

"Of course I'm not joking," Li Er said in a deep voice: "Don't forget, Your Majesty also announced in public that if the father does not hand over the money and grain, then tomorrow my father will not only be asked to be executed in public, but also be registered without all his property. Since all his family property is lost, it is better to take the initiative to exchange money for his life, so that he will be afraid that there will be no firewood?"

Xiao Guojiu shut up, Li Yuan also showed a calculating expression. Then Xiao Guojiu said to Xiao Qian again: "Brother, why don't you take advantage of the time left now? Go to the palace and beg the Empress to ask her to go forward to your superiors and ask His Majesty to reduce the fine? One million guan and 300,000 pieces of silk. This amount of money for the crime is really terrible."

President Xiao Xi agreed and was about to get up, Li Erze next to him quickly stopped him and said, "Uncle, there is no need, it's useless. Our Li family has violated the saint taboo this time. If you go to the palace to ask the queen to plead with you, it will not only be useless, but it will also be counterproductive, which will anger Your Majesty even more, making our Li family die even more miserable."

"What does this mean by nephew?" Xiao Qian asked in surprise.

"Today it was not Chen Yingliang's little thief who harmed our Li family, but the civil and military officials of the court killed our Li family." Li Er's face was gloomy and terrible, and explained: "Uncle Xiao had told me on the road just now that Chen Yingliang had slandered His Majesty and asked His Majesty to ask His Majesty to redeem our Li family with money. His Majesty asked all the officials about their attitudes, and none of them dared to answer. It was not until His Majesty was angry that all the officials were forced to agree."

"At that time, I understood that Your Majesty was alert to our Li family." Li Er's eyes were filled with a faint green light, like two balls of ghost fire, and said in a dark shade: "Our Li family, as one of the eight major clans of Guanlong, has a huge influence in Guanzhong and a deep root. It is a matter of attracting saints. Now my father is in jail for his crimes, and the evidence is conclusive, so it is not an exaggeration to behead the head and confiscate the house. However, except for Chen Yingliang, no one in the civil and military officials dared to go against our Li family. He would rather not please His Majesty Shuncheng than offend our Li family. How could the emperor bear this tone? How could he be at ease with our Li family?"

"So, Your Majesty was angry and gave Chen Yingliang again, and gave countless honors." Li Er's face became even more ugly, and he said, "And I dare to bet that after our Li family was in trouble, other Guanlong clans would also be in trouble. His Majesty the Emperor claimed to be the number one person in the world and would never allow anyone, any family or clan to challenge his authority."

Hearing Li Er's explanation, Xiao Guojiu was completely silent, and Li Yuan's face became even more serious. After a moment, Li Yuan said: "What Erlang said is very true. Today is not Chen Yingliang's little thief who harmed our Li family, but civil and military officials who harmed our Li family. If a few of them stood up and agreed with Chen Yingliang's little thief and helped Chen Yingliang's little thief to rectify our Li family, things might be better done. But they didn't say anything, but instead made His Majesty more wary of our Li family.

"Father, it's time to come, and regret is useless." Li Er took over the conversation and said, "The child is still the same thing. Keeping the green mountains is there, and not worrying about not having firewood. It is important to save your life first. Although the amount of money and grain is huge, our Li family may not be able to take it out, but we can sell our land and real estate, or we can go to other Guanlong clans to borrow money. The eight Guanlong families are in the same mood. At this critical moment, they will not let us out."

Li Yuan's face was gloomy. After a long time, Li Yuan nodded and said weakly: "Brother Shi Wen, go and tell Your Majesty that I am willing to lose all my money and pay for forgiveness."

Xiao Qian nodded silently and agreed dejectedly, while Li Yuan continued to remain silent. After a long time, Li Yuan suddenly sighed to the sky, "The most wrong thing I did in this life is to find a wrong son-in-law. If I didn't find the wrong son-in-law and didn't make enemies with a terrible opponent for him, why would there be today? Why would there be today?

The next thing was simple. After Xiao Zong, Xiao Guoji returned to the palace to report in dejectedly, Emperor Yang of Sui ordered the Li family to hand over the money and grain within one month to atone for his sins. Otherwise, not only did Li Yuan's head fall, Li Yuan's whole family would not be able to escape, and his property and land would continue to be confiscated. Xiao Zongji agreed quickly and asked Li Er to raise money everywhere. When Li Er heard the news, he did not dare to neglect money. He could only sell his own industries in various places to raise money, and he went to other Guanlong families to beg for food and beg for food. During this period, he would naturally have to be humiliated, and naturally he would have to explain some principles of losing his lips and cold teeth and working together.

At the same time, Emperor Yang of Sui, who had a little more normal mind, issued another order to ask the Ministry of Civil Affairs to give priority to the national treasury money and grain, and to fulfill the promise he made in the Yanmen War. The decree was proclaimed. The Sixteen Guards' Mansions were cheering, and the soldiers stationed outside the city were even more cheerful. Chen Yingliang, Yun Dingxing and Wang Shichong and other leaders of the King's Army were proud in front of the army, and their voices increased a lot. The army that received the rewards gradually withdrew from Dongdu naturally did not mention it. During this period, Chen Yingliang first separated from his de facto father-in-law Wang Shi, and agreed to send Wang Xueji and his son to Dongdu to marry him.

At the same time, Chen Sangliang, who was despicable, became even more energetic in the hatred eyes of the Guanlong clans and the jealous eyes of countless colleagues. He received the heavy rewards made by Emperor Yang of Sui in Yanmen City, and also received the first good house in Lushunfang, the northern city. He opened the door opposite the street and equipped with 300 iron-armored soldiers as followers. He was extremely majestic in entering and leaving. He was called to the palace city by Emperor Yang of Sui every three days to enjoy the banquet and give wine. He rewarded the palace food and royal items almost every day. The favor he received was directly following Yuwen Shu, Pei Ju and others, and almost became the first celebrity before Emperor Yang of Sui.

The civil and military officials of the Great Sui Dynasty were not fools. The real reason why Chen Sangliang suddenly gained favor was quickly guessed by many smart people. In order to please Emperor Yang of Sui and obey Emperor Yang of Sui, many civil and military officials began to imitate Chen Yingliang and go against the Guanlong clans, but deliberately did it. The memorials of impeachment of the eight major clans flew into the palace like snowflakes and sent to Emperor Yang of Sui. Emperor Yang of Sui took the opportunity to take ruthless actions and started a massacre of the eight major clans of Guanlong. In just half a month, more than 20 civil and military officials from the Guanlong clans were dismissed, and the already sharp contradictions with the Guanlong clans were even more prominent.

After reading the literary imperial edict for some time, Chen Sangliang discovered that Emperor Yang of Sui did not completely forgive Li Yuan. Although he retained the noble title for Li Yuan, he deprived Li Yuan of the fief, fief and official position of Tang County, and sent Li Yuan back to Cheng Ji's hometown. He did not leave Cheng Ji County without an order. However, Li Yuan had already known the content of the imperial edict through General Xiao, and was not surprised. He just bowed respectfully after Chen Yingliang finished reciting it and said powerlessly: "The criminal minister received the imperial edict, thank the Lord for his kindness.

After bowing, Li Yuan struggled to get up, but almost fell down halfway. Fortunately, Chen Yingliang was quick-witted and helped him to be careful. Li Yuan nodded weakly and said with a wry smile: "Thank you Chen Xiongqu, I'm really sorry. Chen Xiongqu came to send an order to release me from prison. Now I can't even take out the thank-you money from a eldest son."

Chen Yingliang also heard about Li Yuan's family situation. He knew that in order to raise the huge sum of money for atonement, Li Yuan not only sold all his family property and land, but also borrowed a lot of money from other Guanlong clans. It was indeed considered to be bankrupt and had nothing. Hearing Li Yuan's sad words, Chen Sangliang was inevitably a little sympathetic and bitter, so he said softly: "Duke Tang, if your family really can't get along, I will send someone to speak to me, and I will do my best to help."

"Thank you for your kindness, Chen Xiongqu, I'm grateful." Li Yuan suddenly had the urge to cry - the writer-in-law who was going to recommend to him, but now he has to give his money to live on the other hand. Thinking of the past, Li Yuan couldn't help but say: "Chen Xiongqu, I'm apologizing to you for your son-in-law. Back then, he looked down on others, but didn't recognize gold and jade, which offended you. You are a lot of wise men, don't bother with him."

"It's all over, why are you talking about him?" Chen Sangliang sighed and reminded Li Yuan to take good care of his health after returning to Chengji. Li Yuan nodded weakly and thanked him repeatedly. Only then did Chen Yingliang hand over the decree to Li Yuan and arrange for the prison officer to release Li Yuan and leave Li Yuan and say goodbye to Li Yuan.

He led his followers to the Tianzhu Gate. Chen Sangliang saw that Xiao Guojiu and Li Er were already guarding the door at first sight. When he saw Chen Yingliang coming out, Xiao Guojiu, who had a lot of friendship with Chen Yingliang, turned around quickly. Li Er looked calm and bowed to Chen Yingliang and said, "Li Shimin, a sacred citizen, has seen General Chen."

Chen Yingliang nodded and wanted to leave directly. As soon as he moved, Chen Yingliang stopped and said to Li Er: "Young Master Shimin, I could have taken your life this time, but I spared you. I hope you can live a peaceful life in the future and stop thinking about any more about taking risks. Otherwise, I will cure you, it will be easy."

"The people of Cao Gu remember the teachings of the General and will never forget them." Li Er agreed respectfully, and his expression was still as calm as before.
