Chapter 107 Mutual Criticism

"Today it was Duke Qin who begged for mercy for you, so I made an exception to forgive you. If there is another time, Cui will never tolerate it!"

Qin Ai interceded for Pei Xiu, and Cui Che rode a donkey downhill, but his face was still scolding him with righteous words.

Pei Xiu thought to herself that if it weren't for her cousin, she would have gone away long ago. Even if she was idle at home, it would be better than suffering from such a bird.

Of course, Cui Che relied on his close relationship with Pei Xiu to act out this scene in front of Qin Ai. If it had been someone else, how could he have damaged the face of the old man in public for the sake of the new one.

Although he was forced to apply for the army and accept the post of Cui Che's shogunate, Qin Ai truly felt Brother Che's sincerity.

Especially after learning that Pei Changshi was not only a colleague of the shogunate, but also a cousin who had been dependent on Cui Che since childhood. The play between the cousins ​​was a bit fake, but to say that he was not touched at all would be to deceive himself.

Of course, Cui Che's acting skills are unknown, and he becomes stronger when he is strong. If we really want to take him seriously, he is also a person who can rival Yang Guang's acting skills.

'Well, since I have applied for the job, I will assist him in relieving the victims and restoring order in Qingzhou. Then I will resign and retire with success.'

Qin Ai secretly made up his mind.

"This must be your master!"

While Qin Ai was thinking, Cui Che had already focused his attention on Qin Qiong.

"Qiong'er, I haven't paid my respects to Ambassador Cui yet."

Qin Qiong listened to his father's instructions and saluted Cui Che. Seeing that Cui Che's tall and thin figure did not look powerful, Qin Qiong said doubtfully:

"In the battle of Bai Dao, was it really true that Cui Shijun was in the midst of thousands of troops and shot the Turkic Khan with an arrow, and then scared away more than 100,000 troops?"

The great victory at Baidao a few months ago had already changed beyond recognition after word of mouth.

The most outrageous version Qin Qiong has ever heard is the story of Cui Lang defeating the Turks with one arrow.

It is said that when the two armies were facing each other, Cui Che faced more than 100,000 Turkic cavalry without any fear. He leaped forward on his horse, drew his bow and arrow, and shot the Turkic Khan off his horse. The Turks fled north in fear.

"Qiong'er, stop talking nonsense!"

Cui Che shook his head and said:

"It doesn't matter, today is just the time to clarify the matter. The victory of Bai Dao was the plan of Duke Wu Yang. Che just followed him to attack the camp and luckily shot the photo. He didn't dare to take advantage of others."

Qin Ai heard this and praised:

"You are not as powerful as a weakling, but you can use your noble body to ride on the Turks' camp. You are already very brave, so why should you be humble?"

Qin Qiong echoed:

"What my father said is that Cui Shijun does not need to be humble. Qin Qiong once heard that Shijun entered "Pingchen Ce" and was praised by the saint. This is wisdom!

"It is righteousness to seek to avoid death for Tridhana!

"I have written twelve memorials in a row and requested to attack the Turks from the north. This is a sign of bravery!

"It is benevolent to punish evildoers and relieve the people in Zhu'a County now!

"Cui Shijun is both benevolent, righteous, wise and courageous, so how can you belittle yourself!"

It turned out that Qin Qiong had longed for Cui Che and wanted to make friends with him. There had been a conflict before, and it was Wang Qing who made rude remarks and threatened to kidnap Qin Ai.

Cui Che was secretly happy to see Qin Qiong cherishing his deeds so much and being praised again: He knows me so well, he has me in his heart!

It turns out that he and Qin Qiong were going in both directions!

Cui Che personally sent Qin Ai's family to the city for resettlement. With Mrs. Qin here, it was naturally inconvenient for their family to stay in the military camp.

After settling the Qin family, Cui Che found Pei Xiu, Dou Wei and Qin Ai to discuss how to provide disaster relief and epidemic prevention. The four of them stayed up all night and finally came up with a charter.

The next day, at the porridge outside Zhua City, the rice and water had been cooked. The newly selected subordinate officials and officers were not in a hurry to live, so the cavalry sent by Cui Che took a chopstick and inserted it into the rice to test.

If the chopsticks do not float, the servant in charge of that pot will be happy. If the chopsticks float, the person's head will fall to the ground.

The reason why Cui Che had the confidence to cook thick porridge for the victims was naturally the grain stored in Qingzhou and other places and the three million shi of Northern Zhou Dynasty rice he brought.

The purpose of giving out only porridge and not rice is to prevent people who have not been affected by the flood from coming to Zhua County to claim corn.

Even in the 21st century, after experiencing the influence of modern civilization, in a big city like Shanghai, free meals supplied to sanitation workers, service personnel and other needy groups are still robbed by adults, let alone in this era.

.

There are indeed many simple people among the poor, but there are also definitely so-called smart people who are good at taking advantage.

The victims drank porridge, filled their stomachs, and began to work under the supervision of subordinate staff and servants.

They might bury the hungry dead on the roadside, or burn those who died of the epidemic. At the same time, they would fumigate and disinfect the settlements of victims with mango grass, jasmine grass, etc.

Under the organization of the county magistrate Huang Baiji, more people began to clean up the ruins and rebuild their homes.

Three million grains of rice had already been distributed to various disaster areas for disaster relief. Specific regulations for epidemic prevention were also issued to all states and counties. Cui Che immediately led the army to leave Zhu'a, inspecting various places, and carried out his third task: killing people!

Whenever Cui Che went to a place, he would always strictly investigate whether local officials had embezzled money and food for disaster relief. Once he was found, he would put people on trial for murder, killing heads and making officials frightened.

Later, when I heard that Cui Che was coming, a large number of officials abandoned their posts and fled for their lives, as if Brother Che was a living king of hell.

However, those who were selected by Cui Che from among the victims to supplement the official position were so grateful to him that they almost changed their surname to Cui.

Wherever Cui Che went, the people praised him, which was in sharp contrast to the officials who regarded him as a savage beast.

It's just that Cui Che traveled all over the four prefectures of Qingzhou, Jiaoguang, and Ju, but he never went to Dongyang City to pay a visit to Yan Rong, the general manager of Qingzhou.

The two have never met each other, but they always pretend to be each other in their hearts.

Yan Rong was jealous that Cui Che had despised him, so he went to Chang'an to accuse Cui Che of being cruel and unkind and killing officials indiscriminately.

Cui Che also sent a memorial to Chang'an, accusing Yan Rong of promiscuous wives and daughters, cruelty, cruelty, corruption and filth.

The two criticized each other, and Yang Jian was unable to tell the truth from the lies.

One is my son-in-law, who has a reputation of being honest, wise and courageous, and is very popular.

Because there were no bandits in Qingzhou, he regarded him as a role model for officials and issued many edicts to reward him.

How did the trouble get to this point?

Since it was impossible to tell, it was natural to send someone east to investigate. Yang Jian, who attached great importance to this case, sent Su Wei, the Minister of Civil Affairs, to go east.

But this is destined to be an unfair contest.

It is true that Yan Rong has made many military exploits, but as a Xianbei general, he does not have Cui Che's clan background, nor does he have a wife who is an eldest princess.

With Yan Rong's bad record in the past, who would be willing to risk offending the Boling Cui family and the eldest princess Yang Lihua to excuse him.

This is why Cui Che was sure that he could bring down Yan Rong on the way to Qingzhou.

When Cui Che heard that Su Wei was ordered to go east this time, he no longer distracted Yan Rong.

He knew that Su Wei was a smart man and would handle the matter impartially.
