Emperor Sui Yang

Chapter 451
East Palace, Chengen Hall.

Many people from Lao Pei's family knelt on the ground, more than a dozen.

In a row on the left, Pei Shuying and Yang Hao sat, and on the right, Pei Xian, the Duke of Linfen County, and Pei Yun, the imperial censor, sat.

Yang Ming sat on the main seat, until now, still silent.

The atmosphere in the hall is very dignified.

Yang Ming already knew the cause and effect of the whole matter from Su Lie who came back. Although Yang Hao was not good at handling things and was quite impetuous, the matter was still handled.

His original intention was that he didn't want the members of the Pei family to know that he was involved in it. Yang Hao was not good at handling things, and forced him into an unfavorable situation, so that if he didn't sell himself, he wouldn't be able to bring him back.

Of course Yang Ming would not blame Yang Hao, he would not criticize Yang Hao in any public occasion, even if Yang Hao was wrong.

"Which one is Pei Shen?" Yang Ming was silent for a long time, and finally spoke.

Pei Shen, who was kneeling on the ground, didn't dare to raise his head, and hurriedly said: "My minister, Pei Shen, please punish the prince."

"I dare not, how dare I punish you for your crime?" Yang Ming sneered.

As soon as these words came out, Pei Yun and Pei Xian, who were sitting in their seats, were taken aback at the same time, feeling bad, and everyone in the hall also trembled.

Yang Hao snorted coldly and drank tea on his own, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth.

The Pei family who were kneeling on the ground pleaded guilty and begged Yang Ming to appease his anger.

Pei Shen kowtowed non-stop, making a loud knock.

"Don't dirty the floor in the lonely hall," Yang Ming said.

Pei Shen was completely panicked, with snot and tears, he looked at Pei Shuying with tears in his eyes:

"I am so old and foolish that I have made a big mistake, can the Crown Princess ask me for mercy?"

"Presumptuous!" Prince Pei Xian of Linfen County, who was sitting on the seat, was furious when he heard the words:
"You provoked this matter, how dare you implicate the Crown Princess? Have you lived enough?"

After finishing speaking, Pei Xian got up and said: "I would like to dismiss Pei Shen and return him to his original place."

This is what they discussed at the bottom, dismissal should be the lightest punishment, and Pei Shen is too old, and he has no real power in the Secretary's Ministry, so it's better to forget about retirement, anyway, it's all about reading, where is it not?
Yang Ming chuckled, pointed at Yang Hao and said to Pei Shen, "You look up."

Pei Shen hurriedly raised his head, and looked at Yang Hao following the prince's pointing.

Yang Ming said in a deep voice, "He can sit here and drink tea leisurely, but you can't."

As soon as these words were said, Pei Xian and Pei Yun subconsciously looked at the empty long table in front of them, neither of them had any tea.

So the two also hurriedly got up and knelt down in the hall.

Yang Ming sneered and said: "Everyone is also a person of status, and many of them are my big Sui humerus. Because of Ayun, you are here in Gu, and you are not outsiders, so Gu has no intention of embarrassing you, but you have done too much. Going too far, don't think that Pei Shen can take over all the connections, he is a secretary and has no one to back him up, dare to despise Gu's cousin, His Majesty's nephew?"

Linfen County Duke Pei Xian raised his head with trembling hands: "This mistake is all because of my Pei clan's lax family style. What the crown prince taught is that from now on, I must strictly restrain the children of the clan."

His terrified appearance was all feigned, he guessed that Yang Ming would not do anything to them, he did not look at the face of the monk but at the face of the Buddha, Pei Shuying and Pei Ju's face, you have to give it to them, right?

Even without the two of them, wouldn't my Pei family in Hedong still have this bit of face?When building the kiln, we were not ambiguous, we are your princelings.

Pei Yun guessed that Yang Ming was not only talking about Yang Hao, but also alluding to Su Lie, so he hurriedly said:
"Thousands of mistakes, this time it's all the fault of the ministers, please calm down the prince, the ministers are willing to be punished."

Yang Ming said with a chuckle: "I will not punish you, you worshiped the wrong Buddha."

As he said that, Yang Ming looked at Yang Hao: "What to do with them, King Liang has the final say."

Yang Hao was taken aback, what the hell are you pushing me for?Do I dare to deal with it?If I deal with it, won't I offend my siblings and Pei Ju all at once?
He subconsciously glanced at Pei Shuying beside him, only to see that Pei Shuying was watching her heart, indifferent.

So Yang Hao said: "Forget it, let's go back to the original place according to Linfen Lord's intention just now."

After finishing speaking, Yang Hao looked at Pei Shuying and said, "What do you think?"

He was showing his favor to Pei Shuying, hoping to make Pei Shuying owe him a favor.

Pei Shuying turned her head and said with a smile: "King Liang's punishment is too light, for such a serious offense, if he is not severely punished, he may commit the crime again in the future."

Yang Hao was taken aback: "What do the siblings think?"

Pei Shuying pursed her lips and smiled, looked at the relatives in the hall, and said in a deep voice:

"Pei Shen was demoted to a commoner, and was expelled back to his hometown. All the troublemakers in the camp were expelled back to Hedong. There is no order from the crown prince. From now on, he is not allowed to leave the river for a single step. Disrespectful slaves will die with a stick, and the light ones will be dismissed."

After finishing speaking, Pei Shuying stood up and said, "Prince please allow me."

Now it's all right, the people in the old Pei's family in the hall were all stunned, no one thought that it was their own people who beat them cruelly.

Pei Yun is smart, and hurriedly said: "The ministers are willing to accept the crime."

People see clearly, knowing that Pei Shuying is protecting the family, otherwise the punishment is too light, if His Majesty finds out, they will not be able to pass the test.

But Pei Shen can't see the heat, you are our daughter, how can you degrade me into a commoner?My branch has been an official for six generations, and now I have become a commoner?

A hundred years from now, my descendants may not even be able to buy the sacrifices and incense money for me.

"Princess Concubine, am I your clan uncle?" Pei Shen knelt a few steps forward and cried.

Pei Shuying turned around coldly, reprimanded: "Is King Liang still His Majesty's nephew? Did you ever think of this when you offended King Liang?"

Pei Shen was speechless for a moment.

"Drag him out," Pei Xian said to Pei Nanjin and Pei Xingyan who were behind him, and the latter two hurried forward and dragged away the crying old man.

Yang Ming said indifferently: "Okay, everyone, sit down, the punishment will be fined, and there is no need to kneel."

Pei Shuying stepped forward to help the elderly Pei Xian up, and helped him to sit aside.

Pei Xian has a very high seniority in his family. He served as Minister of Rites for a short time in the early years of Emperor Kaihuang. Because Gao Jiong didn't like him, he was let out after only a few months. The descendants were very happy in the Tang Dynasty.

After everyone was seated, Yang Ming prepared his Qianniu, and Pei Yun's son Pei Shuang called him in, saying:

"You are a thousand cattle prepared by Gu, but it seems that your family doesn't think this is a good job."

The corner of Pei Shuang's mouth twitched, and he subconsciously looked at his father Pei Yun.

He, Laiyu, Dugu Lingyun, and Wei Huaijing are the three who are responsible for guarding the prince, so they have always followed Yang Ming's side and never left.

Although he also heard that there seemed to be some disputes between the clan and King Liang, he didn't know the specific situation.

Pei Yun thought it was over, just dealt with Yang Hao's matter, now the crown prince is going to deal with Su Lie's matter, using his own son as an excuse, doesn't that mean he has something to say?

Pei Yun was about to speak, but Yang Ming stopped him by raising his hand. He continued to look at Pei Shuang and said:
"I'm asking you something, what do you think your grandfather is doing?"

Pei Shuang said: "It is a great honor to be able to serve the crown prince. Only a fool would think that it is not a good job to be prepared."

Yang Ming smiled: "After all, it's a job as a bodyguard. It's not about experience, nor can you learn anything. I'm afraid it will delay you. Let me see, you go home."

Pei Shuang was taken aback, dumbfounded.

Good guy, kill the chicken for the monkey to see?How about taking my son under the knife?Pei Yun couldn't sit still, she hurriedly got up and said:

"Prince Mingjian, Qian Niu prepares his body to hold the sword. It is an important position for the guard of His Majesty and the Prince. No one in the world dares to underestimate and neglect. It is the honor of the father and son for the dog to hold the Qian Niu sword for the prince. Please The prince took back his order."

Qianniu Beishen first came from the Northern Wei Dynasty, because the knife hanging on their waists was called Qianniu, and it was also the standing guard around the emperor and prince, so it was called Qianniu Beishen.

Starting from Yang Jian, in order to reflect the uniqueness of Qianniu Beishen, once the body-preparing person reaches a certain age, he will be released to serve as a high-level local official.

Because Qianniu Beishen was in charge when he was young and left when he was old, he is also called Tianzi Yuancong.

Yang Ming didn't respond to Pei Yun's words, but Pei Shuang was furious, knowing that someone in the family had implicated him.

Pei Renji knew that this was aimed at him, so he stood up and said:

"I have a request, I don't know whether to say it or not."

Yang Ming remained silent.

Pei Renji swallowed subconsciously, and continued: "I have a daughter, and Su Lie, the crown prince's bodyguard, seems to have a secret love affair during the spring outing. I ask the crown prince to be a matchmaker for the two young ones."

Yang Ming smiled and said, "I, Su Lie, have a bad background and are not good enough for your daughter."

"No, no, it's Chen Gaopan." Pei Renji could only grit his teeth and swallow it.

Others also saw the heat, and they all stood up and asked Yang Ming to be a matchmaker.

At this time, Pei Shuang also realized the problem. The feeling is that Pei Renji looked down on Su Lie, so that he angered the prince?What does that have to do with King Liang?It sounds messy.

Yang Hao added fuel to the fire at this time: "If you said that earlier, why would I go to the camp to snatch people? Now I know I regret it?"

Pei Shuang, who was totally unaware, was stunned again. Damn it, you actually snatched him away?No wonder there are conflicts between the two sides, you are awesome, dare to go to our house to rob people?

Prince Pei Xian of Linfen County smiled and said, "Your Majesty Liang, you didn't make your words clear. If Pei Shen knew that you were ordered by the crown prince, how dare we stop him?"

Now Yang Ming was embarrassed. Such a thing as snatching a kiss was indeed a bit disgraceful.

Pei Shuang now fully understands that King Liang is not awesome, but the crown prince. Let me just say, I have never heard of anyone who dared to go to our house to snatch a woman. Since it is the prince, it's fine.

So Pei Shuang said directly: "I think that Su Lie and Duke Langya's daughter are a match made in heaven, and this matter will definitely be a good story in the future."

The corner of Pei Renji's mouth twitched, what a good story?You guys just watch my jokes.

At this moment, Yang Ming got up suddenly and left without making a sound.

Everyone in the main hall was left looking at each other in blank dismay.

What is this for?Agree or disagree, give me an accurate word, so everyone looked at Pei Shuying again.

Pei Shuying sighed softly, got up and left.

"Hehehehehe." Yang Hao didn't need to maintain his posture any more, he hugged his shoulders and raised his legs, hehe he said with a strange smile: "you can't live because you are self-inflicted."
