First Minister of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 116 Chu Suiliang, courtesy name Dengshan

...

Arriving at a second-entry house in the west of Qianyuan City, the temporary Chu Mansion, just entering the door, a handsome young man came out to greet him.

"My son is coming to see Duke Mao Yue soon," Chu Liang said with a warm face.

"Chu Suiliang has met Mao Yuegong", this young man is Chu Suiliang, the son of Chu Liang.

Chu Suiliang was demoted to Xihai County with his father, and was later appointed by Xue Ju as a general manager. Although Chu Suiliang was only 21 years old, he was extremely intelligent. He is less involved in politics and is very low-key. Even Xue Ju might have forgotten that there is such a person as Chu Suiliang.

"This is Chu Suiliang, the son of a dog, with the word Dengshan. If there is a chance in the future, I hope Maoyue will give me some advice." Chu Liang twisted his beard and looked at Chu Suiliang with satisfaction. He was obsessed with literature all his life and was not good at resourcefulness. Chu Suiliang is better than blue because he is better than blue. Whether it is literature or resourcefulness, he is excellent.

"What a unicorn from the Chu family," Tang Jian couldn't help but praise Chu Suiliang, seeing Chu Suiliang's demeanor.

After sitting down, they talked about scriptures and Taoism, and after three rounds of drinking, Tang Jian suddenly felt very happy. The Chu family father and son are both knowledgeable and knowledgeable. Such great talents, but under Xue Ju's command, they are really pearls.

When the atmosphere was strong, Tang Jian was already admiring brother Ximing, "Brother Ximing, Xian Qiaozi is very knowledgeable, and he is a great talent in the world. You should know that Xue Ju is already a dead bone in the grave, so why bother to do it for nothing?" Ruin your family and your life?"

Chu Liang suddenly felt the pain in his heart when he heard it, and was about to confide, when Chu Suiliang coughed suddenly, he shook his head and sighed: "Mr. Mao Yue has pushed me, Aye, into the fire pit."

Tang Jian was surprised when he heard the words, "Why did my nephew say that?"

"At this critical moment, Lord Mao Yue did not go to the post station, but came to Chu's house. I don't know how the Emperor of Qin will feel?" Chu Suiliang said lightly.

Hearing this, Chu Liang immediately understood that he had knocked over the wine glass in a panic, "This... in case His Majesty becomes suspicious, what should I do?"

Tang Jian couldn't help being astonished, then shook his head and smiled wryly, with a sincere face, "Nephew, don't misunderstand, I have absolutely no intention of this, only because I heard about your father's talent, I just wanted to make friends, but I don't want a misunderstanding to arise here."

Having said that, Tang Jian looked at Chu Liang in astonishment and said, "Brother Ximing is highly valued under Xue Ju's command, but Xue Ju doesn't have this trust?"

Tang Jian said these words very sincerely, telling the truth without any drama, which made Chu Liang a little embarrassed.

Seeing this, Tang Jian took the opportunity to say again, "Xue Juzhi's tyranny and cruelty are well known in the world, and now he doesn't even have the slightest trust. Brother Ximing, why bother to help the evildoer?" Chu Liang muttered.

On the original trajectory, it is not without reason that Chu Liang was able to live to the age of 88. Apart from being obsessed with literature and having no intention of strategizing, his good-natured character is the key.

Facing such a sensitive topic, Chu Liang murmured and dared not speak, but Chu Suiliang asked with great interest: "But I don't know if this is the meaning of King Tang, Duke Qin, or Duke Mao Yue? "

Tang Jian frowned, secretly pleased, and said bluntly, "What's the difference?"

"There is a difference," Chu Suiliang smiled, but did not continue.

Everything goes without saying, and Tang Jian also understands that it is nothing more than a difference in weight.

But Tang Jian has always been on good terms with Li Shimin, at this time the army is also the commander of Li Shimin, and he no longer concealed it immediately, and immediately said: "The second son of Tang Wang has heard the name of Qiao Zi from the Chu family for a long time, and I hope that Brother Ximing will make plans early."

Chu Liangliang nodded, raised his glass and skipped the topic. He was really afraid that Xue Ju would misunderstand him, and he would attack Xue Ju in a fit of rage.

After Tang Jian left, Chu Liang seemed a little uneasy and kept silent, obviously shocked by Tang Jian's words.

"Aye, there's no need to be like this," Chu Suiliang said with a smile, "Xue Ju's defeat is a foregone conclusion, and it would be a good choice to vote for Tang to survive."

Chu Liang was startled when he heard this, and hurriedly looked around. Seeing that all the attendants had retreated, he sighed in a low voice: "My father had this intention a long time ago, Your Majesty... Xue Ju is too cruel, how did he succeed? When entering the capital, the people in Guanzhong greeted each other with food, pots and oatmeal, this is the appearance of the Ming Lord, it is just to make friends with Hao Yuan for the sake of father, and to receive his favor, how can you bear to abandon him and leave?"

Chu Suiliang sneered when he heard the words, "Hao Yuan? But how could he get along with Aye because of his slaves in a field in Jincheng? He just wanted to recruit Xue Ju because of Aye's talent. Aspiring to overthrow the aristocratic family, he is destined to be a different person, and his path is destined to be the enemy of the world."

Hearing Chu Suiliang's words, Chu Liang had no choice but to sigh. He recalled how desolate he was when he was demoted to Xihai County. Only Hao Yuan made friends with him and often helped him. Later, when Xue raised his troops, Hao Yuan was the first again. Recommending Chu Liang to Xue Ju, such kindness, no matter whether it is out of selfishness or not, Chu Liang is also extremely grateful to Hao Yuan in his heart.

"How does my son plan to act?" Facing Chu Suiliang's decision-making, Chu Liang never doubted it, because Chu Liang was very self-aware. When it came to literature, Chu Liang was extremely confident, but in terms of resourcefulness and political wisdom, he It can't compare with his son Chu Suiliang.

"The peace talks on this trip will be successful. At that time, Aye will send Tang envoys off on an excuse, and then they will leave the city together. From now on, they will be out of the wolf's mouth," Chu Suiliang said in a low voice.

Chu Liang was shocked, "Then what do you do?"

"Aye, do you remember Li Ziwei?" Chu Suiliang's eyes were burning.

"Li Ziwei? But Li Hongzhi's nephew?" Chu Liang frowned, "Now that he has lost his military power, he is just in charge of the supply camp. Why do you mention him?"

"Although Li Ziwei's military power has been taken away, his prestige in Tang Bi's old department still exists," Chu Suiliang said confidently. Vote for a certificate to prove my ability, and Li Ziwei is my certificate."

Li Ziwei is Li Hongzhi's nephew, and Li Hongzhi is a sad reminder. He was originally an ordinary bandit, and his nephew Li Ziwei fell into a bandit, but he was free and unrestrained. The widely circulated prophecy "When there is a Li family as the emperor", actually supported Li Hongzhi to proclaim himself emperor and rebel against the Sui Dynasty.

When Xue Ju was attacking Fufeng, Tang Bi was afraid of Xue Ju's military power, so he killed Li Hongzhi, his nominal master, and surrendered to Xue Ju. Li Ziwei, as the leading general, escaped unharmed.

After Xue Ju incorporated Tang Bi's old department with hundreds of thousands, he was worried that Tang Bi's evil intentions would not change, so he asked Xue Rengao to attack and kill Tang Bi, and because Li Ziwei had a feud with Tang Bi for killing his uncle, Xue Ju spared Li Ziwei's life , but also cut its military power.

Hearing Chu Suiliang's words, Chu Liang, a gentle and kind old man, was shocked, "My son wants to persuade Li Ziwei to rebel?"
