Chapter 163 Children’s Matters

Cui Che suppressed the sentence "I am lustful", which made Yang Jian laugh so hard that he fell forward and backward.

In ancient times, the lustful nature of the powerful could not even be called immoral. Even emperors were happy to see them spending their free time on women's bellies.

Instead of accumulating strength and harboring different hopes.

After finally stopping his laughter, Yang Jian finally took back his life.

Of course he understood Cui Che's concerns. He was worried about the jealousy of the courtiers. He was appointed to the Shangzhu Kingdom at the age of nineteen and was granted the title of Duke. Who wouldn't be jealous.

Secondly, if he was unable to be granted a title in the future, Yang Jian would not dare to use him with confidence. After all, great achievements are difficult to reward, and it would easily lead to the alienation of monarchs and ministers.

But Cui Che did a great job this time. Not only did he severely damage the Western Turks, but even Mohe Khan of the Eastern Turks died unexpectedly, causing the Eastern Turks to be torn apart.

The previous worries about the rise of the Eastern Turks no longer existed, and the border troubles in the northern Xinjiang were completely eliminated for the southward expedition to Chen.

Such achievements could not but be rewarded, so Yang Jian demoted Cui Che to a higher rank and made Cui Che a county prince instead of a county prince. However, such a reward still pales in comparison to Cui Che's achievements.

Yang Jian remembered that Cui Che said he was lustful, thought about it for a moment, and promised:

"I will raise an army to attack Chen. If you go to Jiankang, I would like to give you a beautiful woman."

Examples of rewarding the concubines of the conquered king to ministers can be seen in early years.

After the fall of the Northern Qi Dynasty, the protagonist of this allusion, Feng Xiaolian, the beloved concubine of Gao Wei, the queen of the Northern Qi Dynasty, was rewarded by Emperor Wu of Zhou to the acting king Yuwenda.

After Yang Jian came to power, he massacred the Yuwen family and rewarded Feng Xiaolian to Li Xun. Li Xun was the son of Li Xian and the nephew of Grand Master Li Mu.

However, Yuwenda's princess was Li Xun's sister. In the past, Feng Xiaolian competed with Li for favor. When Li Xun's mother learned of this, she forced Feng Xiaolian to commit suicide.

Cui Che really didn't expect that Yang Jian would try to make up for him in this regard, but he also respectfully thanked him.

After discussing the merits, one would naturally be punished for his demerit, and he would call Xi Ren's envoy to the court. In front of him, Yang Jian sternly reprimanded Cui Che for his unfair behavior, which made Xi Ren resentful.

Cui Che was horrified and quickly knelt down to apologize.

Yang Jian said in a deep voice:

"Now that you are aware of your guilt, I don't want to delve into this matter any further. I will fine you a year's salary today. Do you have any complaints?"

"Your Majesty is clear about rewards and punishments, and I am convinced."

After ordering messenger Kumoxi to be sent away, Yang Jian walked down the imperial steps, lifted Cui Che up with a pleasant look, and said comfortingly:

"I am harshly criticizing you today against my will. It is really imminent to attack Chen. King Xi has a new attachment. I do not want to cause trouble on the border again. You should understand my difficulties."

Cui Che's eyes were filled with tears when he saw Yang Jian being so polite. He said with emotion:

"I am your Majesty's son-in-law. I have the righteousness of a monarch and a minister, but also have a personal relationship with my son-in-law. How can a humble minister dare to harbor resentment? I only wish that your Majesty will live for thousands of years, and I will try my best to serve my father-in-law."

Upon hearing this, Yang Jian patted Cui Che on the shoulder and sighed repeatedly.

After exiting the hall, Cui Che had tears on his face, but he complained in his heart that his father-in-law had deducted his salary.

Fortunately, now that the two big burdens of salt soldiers and salt workers are gone, Cui Che no longer has so much financial pressure.

The output of Boling Manor can be used to support three thousand cavalry. It is not a big problem for Yang Jian to work for nothing for a year. Anyway, his daughter Yang Lihua has been subsidizing the family these years.

After not seeing his wife, children, and stepdaughter for more than half a year, Cui Che stopped by the Ministry of Personnel to pay a visit to Su Wei, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and then hurried back home.

When Cui Che entered the city, he had already sent Li Qing back to report the news. When the four-year-old Bodhisattva slave learned that his father was about to return, he couldn't wait to run outside the house and look forward to it.

When Cui Che slowly came into view holding the horse, the Bodhisattva slave galloped over with short legs. Cui Che picked up his son and said with a smile:

"I have grown a lot taller, and I am also a lot heavier than before."

The Bodhisattva slave smiled happily and hugged Cui Che's neck and refused to let go. Cui Che had no choice but to carry him all the way back to the backyard.

Yang Lihua and Yuwen Eying were waiting in the backyard.

The family reunited and talked a lot about each other. Yang Lihua glanced at Yuwen Eying and then said to Cui Che:

"A few days ago, my father issued a decree allowing me to choose a son-in-law for Eying among the prince's children. However, I am interested in Li Min, the son of Duke Guangzong. What do you think, husband?"

When Yuwen Eying heard that her parents were going to discuss her marriage, she blushed with embarrassment and refused to stay any longer. She trotted out of the yard.

Cui Che was silent after hearing this.

Li Min was twelve years old at the time, similar to Yuwen Eying's age. His father, Duke Guangzong, was Li Chong, who had served as the general manager of Youzhou and died fighting the Turks.

Not only was he a descendant of Zhongliang, but his family background was also the best in the court.

Because Li Mu, who was the governor of Bingzhou at that time, chose to support Yang Jian among Yang Jian and Yuchi Jiong, more than a hundred people in the clan were awarded official titles when they reached adulthood. Even Li Mu's infant grandson at that time was the same as Yang Jian.

Zhu Guo of the same level as Cui Che.

It's just that Li Min is not of Li Mu's blood, but the grandson of his brother Li Xian. Moreover, he was young at the time, so he is still white to this day.

After a long time, Cui Che thought about it and said:

"When the moon is full, it will be waning, and when the water is full, it will overflow. Now that the Li Min family is so prominent in the world, I am afraid that its power will not last long."

Of course he knew that Yang Lihua was the matchmaker between Li Min and Yuwen Eying in the original time and space. Because of this marriage, Yuwen Eying was implicated in an unjust case and was killed by her uncle Yang Guang with poisoned wine.

Yang Lihua did not take Cui Che's reminder to heart:

"Dong Shen Guo (Li Mu) made great contributions to his father, and he also received an iron certificate from the alchemy book. His father allowed him to pay homage to his name and not die without rebellion. When Shen Guo Gong passed away the year before last, his father even paid homage to him with the ceremony of Tailao. He was so favored.

How could his home be ruined?"

Tailao is the three animals of cattle, sheep and pigs used by emperors or princes to sacrifice to the country.

Cui Che thought to himself: After Yang Guang came to power, if he didn't sacrifice Li Mu again with the Tailao ceremony, he would kill his entire family in a few years.

But seeing that Yang Lihua had made up her mind, Cui Che did not object anymore. With him here, he could still prevent his stepdaughter from being poisoned by Yang Guang.

With Cui Che's permission, Yang Lihua immediately sent someone to deliver a letter to Li Mansion, asking Li Min to come over tomorrow and let Cui Che take a good look at this future son-in-law.

After talking about her daughter’s marriage, Yang Lihua mentioned the Bodhisattva slave again:

"As the Bodhisattva slave grows older, it's time to give him a name. We can't always call him by his nickname."

The Bodhisattva slave sitting obediently in Cui Che's arms raised his head when he heard this and said to his parents:

"Qu Bing! I want to call Cui Qu Bing!"

He has been fond of horseback riding since he was a child. Since his father Cui Che has been leading the army all year round, he is more interested in military affairs than literature.

I don’t know who I heard the story of Huo Qubing from, and I felt admiration for him, so I wanted to name myself Cui Qubing.

Cui Che gently tapped his little head and said bluntly:

"Inappropriate."

Parents all hope that their children will live long and healthy, but Huo Qubing died young. How could Cui Che satisfy the Bodhisattva slave?

Moreover, even if Cui Che agrees, Yang Lihua will not comply.

But the Bodhisattva slave refused to give up, so Cui Che had no choice but to suggest:

"The word "cure the disease" will definitely not work. How about calling it "abandoning the disease".

The third update is here, although it's a little late.

I will write a side story tomorrow, and Zhou Sui should be guaranteed to write three chapters.
