As soon as the discussion in the palace was over, it was already dark. Yang Guang was fine, leaving dozens of ministers in the palace to have meals. During this period, Empress Xiao also attended the meal. With the emperor and the empress, the ministers basically ate very carefully for a meal.

Only Chen Kefu saw Empress Xiao for the first time, but he felt that this woman was indeed as beautiful as the legendary one. But when he looked at the chopsticks, he found that she was gentle and elegant, and her every move always showed an unspeakable elegance. Every frown and smile, a hundred charm suddenly appeared. But this charm is not the kind of charming behavior, less casual, but more noble and dignified, which makes people feel in their hearts that they can only be viewed from afar but dare not play with it.

The rice is a casual rice, but Chen Kefu looked extremely luxurious. In front of each minister, there were a small table, all kinds of delicacies and sea food, and the water and land delicacies were like a lantern. Those young and beautiful girls in the palace dress would take off the jade plate on the table and change into various flavors again, and even many dishes that they had never seen before. Such as swan paws, whale meat, Luo Luofeng, white horse liver, ape chun cat fetus, and bear paws, there was only no dragon liver and phoenix marrow.

This is the first time Chen Kefu came to the Central Plains when he came to the Sui Dynasty. In the past, when he stayed in Liaodong, he mostly ate noodle cakes when he was in the military camp, and it would be good if he could have another bowl of broth. Later, he finally became the local emperor of Liaodong, with countless money and food, but he ate at most four or five dishes every day. Occasionally, he had a small banquet with the generals of the army, and only had a few more bowls and plates, such as large pieces of beef and mutton, or even roasted whole lamb ru pigs, and so on. But now compared with Yang Guang's simple rice, he really looked like a local bun that had just entered the city.

Such a casual meal reminded Chen Kefu of the buffet in later generations, but someone helped them serve the dishes. Chen Kefu, who had not paid such a rich and delicious dish for a long time, was not polite. No matter what, he always paid a few bites. When the meal came, the other ministers were still hungry because they were careful, but only Chen Kefu had already filled his mouth.

After dinner, Yang Guang also asked the palace to send the ministers out of the palace. As soon as he left the palace, the ministers finally felt relieved. Accompanying the king was like a tiger, and the one he wanted was Yang Guang. One bad thing was that like Yang Xuangan and others would be cut into pieces. They were forced to eat the human flesh of Yang Xuangan's brother. Even close ministers like Yuwen Shu had received decades of favor, but now they are still losing power.

"Congratulations to Liao Gong for his promotion!"

"Congratulations to Mr. Chen for his visit to the prime minister!"

"Congratulations to Mr. Tang to worship Prime Minister Qingyun is coming straight!"

As soon as he left the palace, the ministers began to express joy to Chen Kefu and others. Everyone has understood the situation today. In the future, the five prime ministers in the court will be the most expensive. However, Su Wei has always been a good man. Everyone does not think that Yang Guang will really rely on him. At most, it depends on his qualifications and let him occupy the position of Prime Minister. If he really wants to say who is the most expensive now, then naturally, Chen Kefu not only holds the right prime minister, but also holds the troops of fifteen counties and is also given the title of Grand Marshal.

There were only eight marshals of the Great Sui army, and only a few princes had served as the Grand Marshal. Such youth and such favor made all the ministers come over to make friends.

Li Yuan smiled and responded to the ministers, and walked to Chen Kefu's side, "Pojun, why did this happen as soon as he returned to the city today? Erlang is so ignorant. I asked him to pick you up and go back to the mansion. The mansion had already held a banquet to welcome you. This kid actually took you to a restaurant. Is it okay?"

Chen Kefu smiled and bowed to Li Yuan. On one side, he was a minister in the same palace, and they were both prime ministers.

But on the other hand, Li Yuan was his father-in-law. Now that he had a breakup, he would naturally have to perform the younger generation. Today, Li Yuan's sudden promotion to become a prime minister surprised Chen Kefu. However, he had similar visions to those ministers who had been ups and downs in the officialdom for decades. Looking at Yang Guang's arrangement, he knew that Yang Guang was just pulling him and Li Yuan to restrain Yuwen Lang and Pei Fang, who were already in power.

Su Wei and Yu Shiji, Su Wei is just an old fox and a fence-bearer. Yang Guang said that he dare not say anything. Especially after being thrown to Liaodong for a year, I believe that there will be no objection to Yang Guang's words in the future. Yang Guang used him as the right prime minister, but he was just a puppet. With him, there was no need to grant the most important right prime minister to others. As for Yu Shiji, although he was also a close minister of the emperor, his family was not strong and most of the time, he belonged to the centrist. He stood behind the Liao king and was generally not biased and left-wing in the struggles in the court.

In this way, among the five prime ministers, there were only Chen Kefu, Pei Shiju and Li Yuan, but Li Yuan and Chen Kefu were both frontier ministers and were not in charge of the court. So after all, Yang Guang suppressed Pei Que and Yuwen clan and pulled them up, but did not want them to take charge of the government, but to restrain the two clans. Otherwise, Pei Shiju would not be able to become the prime minister today. Let Yuwen clan and Pei clan be in the central center, but Chen Dongfu and Li Yuan are in the local area. This is to let them look at Li Yuan's smiling face with each other. Chen Kecom was even a little jealous of him and did nothing, and could actually rise all the way.

Not only did he become a minister, he also held local power. His newly granted position as a left-behind in Taiyuan was much more powerful than the original Shanxi and Hedong ambassadors. Being a ambassador to comfort the ambassadors is just equivalent to a censor who only has the right to observe but has no direct rights.

But now the Taiyuan left behind is directly in charge of Taiyuan. Taiyuan was once the former place of Tang Yao, a famous city in the Warring States Period, a famous country in Taiyuan, a Northern Dynasty, a king of heaven, a northern gate of the Central Plains, and a major town on the nine sides, "floating the Sanggan River for no reason, but Bingzhou is the hometown." Yang Guang handed over such an important place to him, which was extremely trusted in him. Moreover, Taiyuan left behind because Taiyuan was an important town in the border area, so he also commanded military power. Although he could not directly dispatch troops, in name, the troops near Taiyuan were controlled by him.

Chen Kefu was extremely envious. Taiyuan has a good location, no matter whether it is from the west capital Chang'an or the eastern capital Luoyang. As long as the world is in chaos, it is definitely a good place to fight for the world.

"Duke Tang, I have your burden and I haven't taken care of Xuanba well!" Chen Kefu said a little lowly. He really felt a little guilty about Li Xuanba. Moreover, whether it was Yang Guang's intentional or the natural development of the matter, he had already reached an opposite side with Pei Que and even Yuwen's clan. This was not a matter of beating their son, but they had a fundamental dispute over interests. He now needs Li Yuan, an ally, to help him get some more time.

Li Yuan sighed, "I heard from Erlang that Silang was ill and burned his brain when he was young, and he has always been clumsy. This matter cannot be blamed for you, this is his fate. It can be seen that you still take good care of the two brothers. After Erlang came back, I almost couldn't recognize him. My whole body changed a lot. Mature and wise. I feel relieved. God took away one of my sons, but made my other son more mature and sensible. Pojun, I set the auspicious day for you and Sanniang in the first month of the next year. On the eighth day of the lunar month, you are also an important minister in the court. After the Chinese New Year, you have to go back to Mobei, so time is a little tight, so don't blame me. Go back to the house with me, and the house has prepared a banquet to welcome you." At the beginning, he agreed to marry his daughter to Chen Kefu, but he thought that Chen Kefu was a talented person and had a bright future. He also had no elders in his family, which was just right for some daughters who were willing to marry her, so he didn't have to worry about her being angry after marrying her. But he never thought that in just a short time, Chen Kefu has now become an important minister in the court, and even his power is above him.

"It's not easy to obey your duty, Erlang is still in my mansion, he and a few friends have suffered a little

I asked him to bandage him in my mansion, and I happened to go back to the mansion and call Erlang together." Li Shimin and his friends were not as lucky as Chen Kefu and others. Chen Kefu and others were all generals in the army, so although they were attacked, no one was injured in the end. On the contrary, Li Shimin and Chai Shao and his gang were all brave, but they were not in the battle for a long time. In the melee, everyone was injured. In order to take care of several cousins, Li Shimin was also stabbed on the back, but fortunately his injuries were not serious.

"Erlang isn't it wrong? Is he seriously injured?" Li Yuan said worriedly when he heard that Li Shimin was injured.

"Don't worry, you have any skin trauma, neither hurting your muscles nor destroying your appearance. You don't delay finding a beautiful daughter-in-law Yuan nodding. Then I'll feel relieved. After I return home, I'll ask Jiancheng and Yuanji to take the carriage to pick you up. Where is the mansion?"

"Just next to General Yuwen's mansion!"

After saying a few more words to everyone, Chen Kefu turned around and returned home. When he came, he was in a hurry and took the carriage sent by Yang Guang to send the order. When he went back, he still drove back in the carriage arranged in the palace. Along the way, Chen Kefu found that it was just dark, but the entire Luoyang City was already strictly prohibited, the shops were closed, every family was closed, and teams of guards patrolled the streets.

He even saw at a glance that in addition to the Imperial Guards, many foreign soldiers stationed in Henan Prefecture had already entered the city. The armor styles were obviously different from those of the Imperial Guards, and their shadows could be seen at each yard and gate.

Chen Kefu's eastern capital Luoyang City had three palaces, all of which were given by Yang Guang in succession. But the place where he settled in is the largest and most luxurious one. It was the emperor who rewarded him with the original Duke of Chu Yang Su's mansion to him after he was considering his contribution to pacifying Liaodong.
