Chapter 162 Rewards based on merit

As soon as the Xi tribe's secret envoy to Jixian left, Cui Che's personal accomplice Zhao Wen arrived at Laoha River.

After Zhao Wen’s secret words, Ahui Lusu said in surprise:

"Zicheng wants me to impeach him?!"

Zhao Wen nodded and said:

"This is what the head of the family told me. I also ask the king to impeach the head of the family for being unfair and favoring the Sui people when dividing the profits of the war."

At the beginning, the three families swore an alliance and agreed to share the results of the battle equally. Although it was true that the Sui army took the lion's share when the spoils were distributed afterwards, there was a reason for it. The Sui people accounted for half of the 60,000 soldiers who counterattacked the royal court. Ah Hui Lusu did not feel that Cui Che

It's unfair.

But now that Cui Che specially asked Zhao Wen to make this trip, it would naturally not be without purpose. Ah Hui Lusu responded:

"You go back and tell Zicheng, Xiao Wang will definitely act according to the plan."

Ah Hui Lusu is not a fool, and he can also guess Cui Che's intentions, which is a great achievement.

Moreover, Yang Jian cannot be aware of the close relationship between them, otherwise he is afraid that if he is not satisfied with the three-year term of the governor of Youzhou, he will have to become an official in the court.

It would be better to make a fuss about the distribution of prisoners and make the court mistakenly think that he has a grudge against Cui Che because of this matter.

After Zhao Wen left, Ahui Lusu immediately sent an envoy to Daxing to express his gratitude to the court. At the same time, he also followed Cui Che's instructions to impeach Yang Jian.

On the ninth day of March in the eighth year of Kaihuang's reign (588), envoys from the imperial court arrived in Jixian County to reward Cui Che for his achievements.

Before the weak battle, Yang Jian had intended to add Zhu Guo and the title of Duke to Cui Che. Because of Gao Jong's insistence, he postponed it until Cui Che returned to the court with his troops.

When Cui Che was still in Monan, he ordered his people to go straight south to Daxing to report the victory.

Therefore, Yang Jian had already learned that the coalition forces burned down the Turkic royal court, forced Nili Khan to flee, severely damaged the Western Turks, and there was no longer any opposition from the DPRK.

Yang Jian sent an envoy to confer Cui Che the title of Duke of Yan State and pay homage to Zhu State.

The title of Duke of Yan originally belonged to the Duke of Yan. After the establishment of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Yuwen Jue named Yu Jin the Duke of Yan. It has been for three generations. The current Duke of Yan is the grandson of Yu Jin, and the governor of Zezhou is Yu Yi.

It was just that Yu Yi had never been favored by Yang Jian. After being sent to Zezhou for just one year, many ministers accused him of illegal behavior. Because Cui Che had made great achievements while serving in Youzhou and Yan was a big country, he was granted the title of Yu Yi.

For Duke Lai, he made room for his son-in-law.

However, what is unexpected is that without Gao Jiong holding him back, Cui Che himself refused.

In the past, because the Dou family's daughter chose a son-in-law and set the threshold that he must be a son of the prince, Cui Che was very upset and worked hard to earn a prince back.

But now he has no intention to do this. He is only eighteen years old and his position is too high to be sealed. On the contrary, he will be suspected in the future.

There is no need for an envoy to answer for him. Yang Jian has already summoned him to the court to report on his duties and to ask him face-to-face about all matters related to the fortress.

On the tenth day of March, Cui Che said goodbye to Yuchi Chifan, Mu Xieli, and Miaorong, and went to visit the Ashina family in a secretly purchased mansion. Then he took a group of personal followers and set off to visit the stranded family.

His wife, children and stepdaughter in Daxing.

Ahui Lusu was granted the title of King Xi, Cui Che was granted the title of Zhuguo, and was rewarded by the Duke of Yan. Naturally, Lan Khan Yongyulu, the capital of the East Turks, was also canonized by Yang Jian.

It's just that compared to Cui Che who needs to resolve the court's suspicions, Dulan Khan faces more difficult problems.

Yong Yulu was recommended by Cui Che to succeed him as Khan in Mobei, but not all the people in the tribe who stayed behind recognized him as Khan.

After all, grassland tribes admire the strong.

Therefore, Ashina Ranqian, the son of Mohe Khan Chuluohou, was more popular than the cowardly Yong Yulu.

Dulan Khan was forced to imitate the practice of his father Sabolo Khan in the past when he took pictures, and named Ashina Rangan as the junior khan, that is, Tuli Khan.

This Tuli was not the Tuli Khan Ashina Shibobi in the early Tang Dynasty. Shibobi was the grandson of Ranqian. Ranqian had another more famous title in later generations, that is, Qimin Khan.

This title was given by Yang Jian in the 19th year of the founding of the Emperor, and his full name is Yili Zhendou Qimin Khan.

Except for Tuli Khan Rangan, a cousin who remained relatively independent among the Eastern Turks, Dulan Khan's younger brother Ashina Qin Yushe also did not let him worry about being an elder brother.

Qin Yushe's tribe was powerful and he had always despised his cowardly brother. When he saw his cousin Rangan was granted the title of junior khan, he also wanted to seek the position of junior khan, but was repeatedly rejected by Yongyulu, the dulan khan.

The division of the Eastern Turks at that time was the result of the canonization of young Khans by Shetu. If it was not forced, Dulan Khan did not want to canonize Rangan at all, so how could he be willing to add another Qin Yushe.

This is also the reason why Dulan Khan has clearly succeeded to the throne of the Eastern Turks, but still secretly relies on Cui Che. He urgently needs Cui Che's support.

Regardless of whether Cui Che is in Youzhou or will serve in the court in the future.

After Dulan Khan returned to the tribe, he followed the custom and married Princess Yu Wenfang as Ketun, but refused to touch her.

Soon, Dulan Khan lied that Yu Wenfang had died suddenly, and while sending an envoy to the Sui Dynasty to request another princess for marriage, he secretly sent Yu Wenfang to Jixian.

When Yu Wenfang arrived in Ji County, Cui Che had already left Youzhou. Without Cui Che's instructions, Zhao Wen didn't know how to deal with Yu Wenfang, so he had to send her to Ashina's villa and wait for Cui Che to come back.

Decide.

No one would have thought that an inconspicuous courtyard in Jixian County would actually hide both Eastern and Western Turks.

The East Turkic envoys were the first to arrive in Daxing. As Dulan Khan had said to Cui Che before, Yang Jian recognized Yu Wenfang as the righteous daughter because of the rise of the Western Turks. In order to form a good relationship with the East Turks, he was forced by the situation to treat this righteous daughter.

Women, I don’t care much about him.

How could he forget that Yu Wenfang instigated Tuobo Khan and Shabolue Khan to invade the Sui Dynasty in an attempt to avenge the Northern Zhou Dynasty?

When he learned that Yu Wenfang died suddenly, Yang Jian did not even ask in detail, so he selected a girl from the clan, canonized her as a princess, and made peace with the Eastern Turks.

The only unmarried biological daughter of Yang Jian was Yang Awu, who had a rough marriage. How could the couple be willing to send their youngest daughter to Monan.

Envoy Kumoxi came to Daxing City earlier than Cui Che, thanked Yang Jian for the canonization on behalf of Ahui Lusu, and impeached Cui Che in person to Yang Jian for his unfair treatment.

Yang Jian appeased Messenger Kumoxi and was ready to reprimand Cui Che.

If he didn't reprimand Cui Che for this matter, how could Cui Che know about the black case that Ah Hui Lusu accused him of? Yang Jian thought that he could sow the relationship between Cui Che and Ah Hui Lusu, but he never thought that all this was Cui Che's intention.

What you do.

When the carriage drove into Daxing, Cui Che went straight to Gongcheng to meet the saint.

"Your Majesty is so kind and I will bear it in my heart. However, I am only a weakling. I was lucky enough to achieve even a small amount of merit. How can I dare to stand alongside the other princes? I sincerely ask Your Majesty to take back my order."

Cui Che kowtowed and asked.

Yang Jian hesitated and said:

"Everyone in the world is interested in fame and fortune, so why are you declining today?"

"If virtue does not match the position, there will be disaster. Even though a minor minister has made some minor achievements, he has not cultivated virtue and does not dare to hold this position."

Cui Che insisted.

Yang Jian was even more puzzled when he heard this. He had never heard of Cui Che having any misconduct, so he asked to get to the bottom of it.

Cui Che didn't expect that Yang Jian would actually ask the question just for a scene. After thinking for a moment, he could only bite the bullet and said:

"I am lustful"

Something delayed me, there is another chapter around two o'clock in the morning, not counting tomorrow.
