Seeing the turbulent feelings below, Yang Jian knew that he had achieved his goal. After going to court, he summoned Yuan Hui and Li Yuan into his imperial study, leaving only Yang Yong, Gao Ying, Su Wei, and Yang Su several people. Yang Su had been transferred from the Yecheng General Manager to the capital and served as the position of the Imperial Chief of the Menxia Provincial People's Republic of China and the Chief of the Imperial Envoy. Anyone can see that the emperor favored Yang Su.

After Yang Su returned to Beijing, Yang Yong had thought about repairing his relationship with Yang Su, and sent the East Palace Chief Supervisor Zou Wenteng to invite Yang Su to the East Palace for a banquet. Unexpectedly, he encountered a soft nail. Yang Su sent Zou Wenteng back on the grounds that he was an important official of the country and was inconvenient to make friends with the East Palace, and almost made Zou Wenteng die. As the East Palace Chief Supervisor, he had never been so angry. After returning to the East Palace, he added fuel to his anger and said something bad about Yang Su to Yang Yong.

Yang Yong was not angry about Yang Su's reply. Gao Ying, the three most valued ministers who are most valued by the emperor, are good friends with him, and Su Wei is the title of Prince Shao Guard, which is equivalent to his master. If Yang Suzhen is good friends with him, the emperor will not know if he will be suspicious when he learns it. Yang Su is so rude to him, and it may be a good thing to pass it to his father, but Yang Yong completely died and his love for Yang Su.

Yang Jian smiled and said, "Yuanqing, Li Qing was sent to Chen State for more than half a year. I believe he has a lot of knowledge about Chen State's truth. Today, it is not convenient to explain in detail in the court. These are all important officials of the country. The two dear ministers can explain this trip to Chen State in detail."

"Abide by the order." Yuan Hui and Li Yuan quickly stood up and bowed to the emperor. The two looked at each other. Yuan Hui sat down again. Li Yuan stood in the middle and reported to the emperor and the important officials about this trip to Chen State.

After the two arrived in Chen State, it had been three months since Chen Shuding ascended the supreme. Li Yuan first reported the knowledge of Chen State before he talked about the affairs of Chen State's court. At this time, Chen State's injuries were not healed. During his recovery, Chen State's power gradually transferred from Empress Dowager Liu to Changsha King Chen Shujian.

As for Queen Liu later, Chen Shubao and Chen Shujian were both her sons, and Chen Shujian had the help of saving the prince when Chen Shuling conspired to murder the prince. She was a woman and was not convenient for her to control political affairs. Moreover, Queen Liu was also hit several times when Chen Shuling rebelled. Although it was not a critical point, she also needed to rest. It was a good idea to give power to Chen Shujian.

After Chen Shujian was powerful, he was arrogant and indulgent, and his political affairs were determined by his hands, which aroused the dissatisfaction of the minister of the capital, the minister of the minister, and Shi Wenqing, the clan of the minister of the Central Secretariat. He searched for Chen Shujian's shortcomings day and night and filed a complaint with Chen Shubao.

Although Chen Shubao was recovering from his injuries, his sensitivity to power made him very suspicious of Chen Shujian. He told Mr. Liu later that Chen Shubao and Chen Shujian could accept no matter who was in power, but Chen Shubao could not allow Chen Shujian to hold great power, which was related to imperial power. Even if it was a brother, how could he be relieved? Not only was the injury on his neck cut by another half-brother, so he transferred another brother Chen Jian to the court to divide Chen Shujian's power. Later, he simply transferred Chen Shujian from the capital and allowed him to serve as the governor of Jiangzhou.

Chen Shujian naturally refused to submit to such obvious acts of power reduction. With the support of Empress Dowager Liu, he was reluctant to hand over the power to Jiangzhou to take office. The Chen Dynasty seemed to have another battle.

After hearing Li Yuan's description, the emperor and all the ministers showed a smile. Yang Jian's determination to destroy Chen was even more determined and asked Li Yuan: "Li Aiqing, as far as you know, since the King of Changsha refused to leave Beijing, will it cause chaos in Chen?"

Everyone quickly pricked up their ears and listened carefully. If the Chen domestic chaos was at this time, it would have been a help from the Sui Dynasty to destroy Chen. Li Yuan hesitated for a moment before saying, "Report to the emperor, the King of Changsha and Lord Chen are the same mother. Now the Empress Dowager Liu of Chen is still there. I think it may cause turmoil in Chen within the country and not cause civil strife."

"Oh" Yang Jian and other important officials in the hall could not hide their disappointment. Yang Yong advised: "Father, the Great Sui Dynasty unified the north, and the military and civilians were several times that of the Chen State. Moreover, they fought against the Turks several times, with elite soldiers and generals. On the other hand, the people in the south of the Chen State were originally weak, and there was no one else in the surrounding enemies except the Great Sui Dynasty. In the past few years, the Great Sui Dynasty has been courteous to the Chen State, which has led to the arrogant and arrogant people in the Chen State, and the martial arts are also played. If Chen is destroyed, it should be attacked with a dignified army. Why should we hope for civil strife?"

After Yang Yong's words, everyone was much more relaxed. Gao Ying answered next to him: "Your Majesty, Sui is strong and weak, and he is a dignified army to defeat the enemy."

Yang Jian laughed: "What the prince and Gao Qing said is reasonable. So what the Chen State is not in chaos? The Sui Dynasty has a million strong soldiers, which is enough to destroy Chen!" Xiang Yuanhui and Li Yuan waved their hands: "The two beloved friends have a hard journey. I promise you a three-day holiday and a three-day trip to court."

The two hurriedly said, "Thank you, the emperor." Knowing that the emperor was going to discuss the attack with the ministers, he stepped back and retreated out of the hall.

After Li Yuan left the palace and broke up with Yuan Hui, he stood outside the palace for a while, but he didn't know whether to go home or go to the prince's palace. When he left the hall just now, the prince gave him a wink, which naturally meant that he would go to the Eastern Palace. If he had not gotten married, Li Yuan would certainly not be embarrassed. At this time, he remembered the words of his wife Dou Shiya, and it was not appropriate to get too close to the prince. Li Yuan stomped his feet, but still did not go to the Eastern Palace.

It was more than an hour after Yang Yong returned to the East Palace. When he saw the general manager Zou Wenteng, he first asked: "Where is Mr. Tang?"

Zou Wenteng was stunned: "Your Highness is talking about Duke Tang Li Yuan, and the villain has never seen him."

Yang Yong was a little puzzled. He clearly hinted to Li Yuan that he would come to the East Palace for a fight. Could it be that Li Yuan did not understand? Yang Yong asked Li Yuan to learn more about Jiangnan, but there was no need to rush at this time. When he heard Li Yuan not coming, he waved his hand: "It's okay if you didn't come."

Zou Wenteng did not go down and said to Yang Yong: "Your Highness, Lu Ben is here. He has been waiting in the side courtyard for more than an hour."

"Lu Ben?" Yang Yong was a little puzzled. He really didn't come, and he came what shouldn't come.

Lu Ben is an old man from the Duke of Suiguo Mansion. He once served as the captain of Yang Jian's guards. He also made great contributions on Yang Jian's way to seize power. After Yang Jian became the left prime minister, he scattered the court for the first time. The ministers left the Tiantai Palace and saw that the Yigu, who was listed in the courtyard, wanted to send Yang Jian to the Prime Minister's Mansion. All officials were stunned on the spot. They didn't know whether they would be working in the Tiantai Palace or the Prime Minister's Mansion in the future. Lu Ben, who was still a sergeant of the Siwu, saw this and commanded the soldiers to gather the ministers and ministers in the court, and said loudly: "Let's go! Those who want wealth and honor will follow me to the East Palace."

After being driven away by Lu Ben, the ministers and ministers in the court moved to the Prime Minister's Mansion. When they arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion, the former Prince's East Palace, the guards of the Eastern Palace refused to allow Yang Jian to enter on the grounds of the royal territories. Lu Ben drove the guards away, so Yang Jian moved into the Prince's Mansion and changed the Prince's Mansion to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

However, after Yang Jian ascended the throne, Lu Ben had a good relationship with Zheng Yi and Liu Fang. Yang Jian was immediately dissatisfied with the friendship between the guard captain around him and the ministers. He replaced Lu Ben with Li Yuantong and granted Lu Ben a fifth-rank General Yitong, which was regarded as a reward for his past contributions.

Although General Yi Tong was promoted several levels to the Siwu Sergeant, Lu Ben felt that he was too aggrieved to be appointed as General Yi Tong for his contributions. He spoke dissatisfied several times, which made Yang Jian even more displeased. It was only because the old man from the Duke's Mansion did not deal with Lu Ben.

Yang Yong naturally heard the words about Lu Ben, and had any good feelings for Lu Ben. He was not ready to see him. He turned around and thought that Lu Ben was an old man from the Duke's Mansion. He could not even see him when he went to the East Palace. He could not help but say that, and ordered: "Take him to the main hall to see me."

"Yes." Not long after Zou Wenteng went down, a heavy footsteps sounded outside. A general in his thirties walked in and saw Yang Yong and knelt down on one leg: "I'm here to see the prince, the prince is Qiansui! Qiansui! Qiansui!"

"General Lu, you are an old man from the Duke of Sui Guo Mansion. You can also say that you are watching me grow up. There is no need to be so polite, get up."

"Thank you, Your Highness, Prince!" Lu Ben still stood up and retreated to sit down.

A maid brought up two fragrant teas and placed them beside Yang Yong and Lu Ben respectively. Yang Yong picked them up and took a sip. A strong smell immediately came to his tongue. The fatigue of the whole day seemed to disappear without a trace.

Yang Yong loved to drink tea in his previous life, but he could only drink some ordinary tea leaves worth about ten yuan. Now it was a thousand years ago. When he first drank tea, he realized that the tea at this time was harder than the tea leaves that were low in his previous life, and had a strong bitter taste.

At this time, Lu Yu had not yet been born, so there was no way to talk about the book "Tea Classic". There are three theories of the origin of tea, one originated from Shennong, one originated from the Western Zhou Dynasty, and the other originated from the Qin and Han Dynasties. No matter which one, it has been five or six hundred years recently. However, the tea is still crude, and most of the collected tea is dried directly and then boiled in water. Without the saying of stir-fried tea, it is inevitable that it will be bitter.

After Yang Yong discovered this, he naturally thought of improving it. Although he didn't know how to stir-fry tea, as long as he spoke, he had his own servants to test it. After several more times, some servants had mastered how to stir-fry tea. It was not that Yang Yong had never thought about selling tea for money, but because he did not pay attention to keeping it confidential during the stir-frying, it accidentally leaked out. Besides, with the money of sugar, Yang Yong did not pay much attention to it and simply let the method of stir-frying tea be made public.

Originally, tea was mostly sold to the grassland or popular among some small families. Nowadays, tea has spread in Guanzhong, which has also led to tea entering the noble family on a large scale in advance. Lu Ben picked up the tea cup, and took a sip as Yang Yong, praising: "It's still the fragrance of tea here in the prince!"

It has only been seven or eight years since the popularity of tea stir-frying, and everyone has no consensus on where it originated. After Yang Yong broke up, people who knew about this were strictly prohibited from leaking it. Although some people could not control their own words, Yang Yong was only ten years old at that time, and others did not believe it when they heard it. Only those in the Duke's Mansion who drank Yang Yong and ordered his servants to stir-fry tea for the first time that year knew the details.

Military generals like Lu Ben were originally disdainful of drinking tea, but they had to pretend to drink it if they didn't drink it when they entered the Eastern Palace, and then slapped the prince's flattery. Moreover, Yang Yong's refined tea leaves did quench his thirst and had a strong fragrance.

Yang Yong did not comment on Lu Ben's praise and asked directly: "General Lu, it's hard to get a battle in the East Palace today, but what's the matter?"

"I wanted to see Your Highness often, but I was afraid that the emperor would blame him when he knew it, so I was delayed. Today I came to see Your Highness to show that I was sincere to Your Highness." Lu Ben's face was sincere.

Yang Yong said unhappily: "You are an old man from the Duke of Suiguo Mansion. If you visit this palace, how could the emperor blame him?"

"Yes, yes, I'm not thinking about it." Lu Ben quickly apologized, saw Yang Yong's face showing displeasure, and hurriedly said, "I'm actually asking Your Highness for something today."

"Tell me, as long as it is not a difficult thing, I can agree to you." As the prince, Yang Yong would not have asked for help every day if he had not been blocked by the guards, and his impression of Lu Ben was suddenly reduced.

Lu Ben suddenly hesitated: "I wonder what the prince thinks of Su Wei... Lord Su?"

"Su Shaobao is outstanding ingenuity and is still a rare national sage. He is also my mentor. I have always only respect. Why would General Lu ask him?"

Hearing Yang Yong's answer, Lu Ben's face showed disappointment: "Is it inappropriate that Lord Su is a national senator and only serves five positions?"

The equal-land system and light taxes implemented by Su Wei laid a solid foundation for the stability of the Great Sui Dynasty. Yuchi Jiong was not so defeated by military affairs, but rather by Su Wei's equal-land system. The emperor also favored Su Wei. First he was appointed as the Minister of the Civil Affairs Department, and later he served as the Minister of Dali, Jingzhao Yin, and the Censor. If he was added to his position as the young security guard of the crown prince, Su Wei did not hold five positions but six positions, which naturally caused dissatisfaction among many people in the court. Yang Yong suddenly realized that Lu Ben was probably one of them.

Knowing Lu Ben's purpose, Yang Yong said decisively: "Mr. Su's official position is ordered by the emperor. If he is incompetent, there will naturally be a judgment from the emperor, which is not something that his subordinates can discuss. If General Lu has nothing else, I will see him off."

Lu Ben's face was full of reluctance, and he wanted to say again: "Your Highness..."

Yang Yong ignored him and shouted loudly: "Come here, see off the guests."

Zou Wenteng and several guards came in. No matter how unwilling Lu Ben was, he had to salute Yang Yong: "I'm going to leave."
