Chapter 127 The Guest

Cui Che was not surprised that Fang Yanqian could get acquainted with Zhao Mu and Wang Dangwan. After the fall of the Northern Qi Dynasty, this old boy traveled around to contact each other in an attempt to restore the country. He and the two of them could be regarded as kindred spirits.

He also knew that when Zhao Mu and Wang Dangwan came to find him, Fang Yanqian must have revealed some inside information to them.

Fang Yanqian joined the army as a recorder. Cui Che's close staff must know more than outsiders. This made Zhao Mu and Wang Dangwan believe that Cui Che had lofty ambitions.

After hearing Zhao Mu's impassioned speech, Cui Che still refused coldly:

"If you two are here to revive the Gao family, I'm afraid you have picked the wrong person. Cui's grandfather served in the Qi Dynasty and was a veteran of the seven dynasties. However, he was falsely accused of treason by a Han official and was unjustly killed. The Gao family and I have a relationship.

He Enyi, you want me to risk the lives of my whole family!"

Zhao Mu and Wang Dangwan looked at each other and said helplessly:

"His Majesty, alas! To hide the shame of His Majesty, Zhao does not want to say more about his absurdity and cruelty. Nowadays, most of the former Qi clans are living in ancient times, and only a few are in Shu. They are isolated from their homeland. We have long given up on it."

The desire to restore the country.”

When Cui Che heard this, his expression had softened, and his expression was gloomy just now, but it was just intentional.

He didn't want to get involved in this group of people's dream of restoring the country. Even if one day he raised a rebel flag, it would be his own initiative, and he would never respect Emperor Yi of Chu or King Xiao Ming.

After picking up the teapot and pouring seven percent full tea for everyone, Cui Che smiled and said:

"It's really gratifying that you two can let go of your obsessions."

At this time, Dong Jing, who was watching, finally spoke:

"Ming Gong comes from a distinguished family, has great ambitions and good plans. He is a hero of the world. How can he stay depressed and depressed for a long time?

"The nobles of Shandong have been bruised and bruised for many generations, and they are proud of their history. How can they submit to the blood-drinking people of Guanxi!

"Ming Gong has the hope of the scholars of Shandong. He should accumulate strength and wait for the opportunity. If there is a change in the world, he will raise his arms and shout loudly. The heroes of Shandong will definitely respond. The people of Guandong should eat their pots of pulp to welcome Ming Gong.

!”

Although after Yang Jian usurped the country, he restored Han surnames and restored Han rites for the nobles of Guanlong, but in the eyes of these old Northern Qi officials, they were nothing more than a crown prince. Their political frustration did not prevent them from despising them on a cultural level.

Guanlong nobles.

Cui Che understands this mentality best, and only in this way can they seek psychological comfort.

When Li Yuan married the daughter of the Dou family, he often cursed in private that this barbarian, who came from a poor family in Zhao County, or had a high chariot to beg the Li tribe, dared to pretend to be the Li family of Longxi.

As for the truth about Li Yuan's clan, Cui Che didn't know at all, but he just wanted to believe that the other party was shameless and falsely confessed, so that he could vent his hatred of his wife.

Dong Jing kept silent, but when he opened his mouth, Cui Che's face changed drastically, and he said angrily:

"The saint uses his daughter as his wife, how dare you say such unfaithful and unfilial words to me!"

"Dong came here to assist Mr. Ming in achieving his great cause. If his intentions are unfair, Mr. Ming can beat me to death with a stick!"

After saying that, Dong Jing closed his eyes and waited for death.

Zhao Mu and Wang Dangwan also said generously:

"We sincerely share the same heart and want to help Ming Gong in his great cause. If Ming Gong does not accept it, I hope to die quickly so that the world's scholars can know Ming Gong's loyalty to the emperor!"

Fang Yanqian was anxious and looked at Cui Che frequently.

Cui Che gave a reassuring look in return, and then a bright smile broke out on his face:

"Three of you have come all the way, how could Che harm you? Please have tea."

Cui Che handed them teacups one by one and then said:

"The people in Guanxi control the government, and the people in Shandong have difficulty fulfilling their ambitions. This is also what Cui hates.

"Today Mr. Dong's words were like an enlightenment, which made Che clear the clouds and see the sun, and he suddenly became enlightened.

"Three of you are not afraid of death, risking your life to surrender, and Che doesn't dare to deceive you. Although Che has great ambitions for the world, now that the world is at peace and the people are happy, they can only wait for the right time!"

Fang Yanqian sighed:

"The Lord of the Sui Dynasty is not an ignorant person, and his national power is also increasing day by day. I don't know how long it will take to become fashionable today!"

Dong Jing, Zhao Mu, and Wang Dangwan then lamented. Dong Jing had raised his arms and shouted when he said that the world would change, which was a very light word, but he didn't know whether the world would change.

Cui Che smiled and said:

"You gentlemen, there is no need to be depressed. The world is changing, and it is precisely because of the throne. King Jin is friendly with Che, and his reputation is far-reaching. However, Che knows very well that he is ruthless and unjust, and he loves great achievements. If King Jin is the master of the world, he will abuse the power of the people.

, if you conquer as you please, the world will definitely be in chaos!"

Hearing this, the four people's faces were filled with joy. Of course they knew the relationship between Cui Che and Yang Guang, and naturally they would not doubt Cui Che's judgment.

"Zhao Mu is willing to assist Duke Ming and help the King of Jin seize the throne. When the world is in turmoil, he will be a pioneer for Duke Ming!"

"The king is willing to die for Duke Ming!"

"Since Ming Gong has such ambition, how dare Dong Jing spare his efforts!"

Zhao Mu, Wang Dangwan and Dong Jing bowed down and worshiped.

Cui Che was about to help the three of them up, but saw Fang Yanqian also saying:

"Fang entered the Guan Dynasty and was an official in the Sui Dynasty. He was repeatedly squeezed out. Fortunately, Ming Gong removed him and passed the government to conquer, so he could be allowed to return to his hometown. Ming Gong treated Fang with deep kindness. Now that Fang knows Ming Gong's ambition, how can he return to his hometown?

If you can remain indifferent, if you don't give up, Fang is willing to do the hard work of a dog and a horse!"

Cui Che sighed in his heart that all the hard work he had put in to win over Fang Yanqian was finally in vain.

He helped the four of them up and said with emotion:

"With the help of four wise men, Cui is like a fish in water. Today, I, Cui Che, swear that I will live up to these four gentlemen in my life!"

Immediately, Cui Che worshiped Dong Jing as the secretary and joined the army. Zhao Mu and Wang Dangwan were prisoners of the imperial court. To be on the safe side, Cui Che changed their names and made them guests of the palace. When something happened, he summoned them

talk over.

After accepting Zhao Mu and making him the king, Cui Che found out that because of their worries, they had grown old at an early age and looked older. They looked in their fifties, but were actually in their early forties.

Dong Jing was arranged to join the company, and Zhao Mu and Wang Dangwan were placed in the Cui Mansion. Their families had long since disappeared. Cui Che learned about this and ordered people to search for them secretly.

After more than a year of hard work, we actually found two families in Hebei and brought them to Dongyang for resettlement.

After this incident, Zhao Mu and Wang Dangwan became even more determined to follow Cui Che wholeheartedly, and never thought of restoring Gao Qi again.

Of course, these are all things for later.

On the third day of August in the fourth year of Kaihuang's reign (584), Yang Jian agreed to Cui Che's request. Because the people suffered from floods and lived in poverty, he issued an edict to exempt Qingzhou and other places from paying taxes this year.

The decree was issued to the four prefectures of Qing, Jiao, Guang, and Ju, and the people were all jubilant.

Cui Che is certainly not a person who does good things but is content to remain unknown.

Many rumors began to appear in the streets and alleys, saying that the saint initially refused, but Cui Che argued hard and even submitted a memorial, and then he obtained the grace of exempting the people of the four states from paying taxes.

After many people heard about it, they came to the Governor's Mansion to thank him, but Cui Che took the credit and refuted the rumors. However, the people in the four states believed that it was Cui Che who had asked for the favor for them.
