On the occasion of rebirth Zhou Sui

Chapter 195 Lantern Festival Night Party

Su Wei only had such a son when he was thirty-five years old. He had doted on him since he was a child. He also knew that Su Kui had a bad habit of relying on his talents and being arrogant. He had told him several times but could not persuade him, so he just let it go.

Cui Che was chatting and laughing with Su Wei on the surface, but secretly he was thinking that this friendship must be maintained, but he could not get too close to him in the future to avoid being implicated in the future.

Cui Che and Su Kui both became famous at a young age, but the biggest difference between them is that Cui Che is proud at heart, but always maintains a humble and cautious attitude in front of outsiders.

He would only show his true side in front of his confidants, for example, he asserted that the Five Religions were in chaos in Jiangnan, and ridiculed Gao Jun for his unreasonable remarks about Li Delin's cruelty.

It is because Cui Che knows that these confidants will not spread his words to others.

But Su Kui is different, he is more like Yang Xiu who shows off his cleverness.

Although Yang Xiu was witty, he was able to discuss Cao Cao's wishes with others at will, and he always succeeded.

He even got involved in the fight for the reserve position and fell into the wrong team. Although he began to deliberately alienate Cao Zhi after Cao Pi was established as the crown prince, he was inevitably destined to die.

Su Kui also didn't know how to restrain himself. He defeated Yang Xiong in cavalry and archery. Maybe Yang Xiong wouldn't hold a grudge, but arguing with those group of Confucian scholars was really a failure.

Confucian scholars are the most narrow-minded. Liu Zhuo was slandered by them and dismissed from his post just because he made other Confucian scholars fall into disgrace during his debate on the classics.

However, during the Yang Guang dynasty, Kong Yingda was debating with the great Confucian scholars and was in the limelight, which made the Confucian ancestors hold a grudge and even sent assassins to secretly harm him.

If Su Kui were not the son of Su Wei and offended those scholars, the end would not be much better.

Knowing that Su Kui would bring disaster to Su Wei sooner or later, Cui Che did not say a word to remind him.

He found that even Su Wei, who had ascended the stage, seemed a little elated.

Once a person is drifting, he will naturally not listen to advice. Otherwise, how could Gao Huan have suffered a disastrous defeat in the Shayuan? He knew that a fire could burn Yu Wentai to death, and he also knew that there was an ambush in the reed swamp, but he still wanted to swarm him with two hundred thousand soldiers.

The army rushed to deliver the man's head.

Cui Che and Su Wei talked about their friendship, said goodbye and left.

After walking out of Pi Guogong's mansion, I couldn't help but shake my head secretly.

Su Wei was such a cautious person in his early years. When he saw his father-in-law Yu Wenhu being domineering, he was afraid that he would be harmed, so he was able to escape to the mountains.

Yang Jian became the prime minister and approached him to plot to usurp the throne. Su Wei was able to abandon his official position and run away.

Cui Che kept in mind Su Wei's changes before and after to warn himself not to get carried away.

The next day, the official's report was sent to Li Jing's home, and he received an appointment from Wai Lang, a member of the driving department. Li Jing will join the Ministry of War after the Lantern Festival tomorrow.

After Cui Che learned the news, he also sent someone to the Ministry of War to inform him that he would officially take up the post of Minister of War on the 16th day of the first lunar month.

That night, all the mansions in Daxing City were testing lights.

The custom of lighting up lanterns on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month originated during the period of Emperor Ming of the Eastern Han Dynasty. In order to promote Buddhism, he issued an edict to light lanterns on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month to represent Buddha.

During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, it gradually became a custom to light up lanterns during the Lantern Festival, among which Xiao Bodhisattva, the ancestor of the Southern Liang Dynasty, was the most important.

Today is the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, and it is the time for every household to test the lights to avoid any mistakes during the Lantern Festival.

Under the night sky, the brightest lights naturally rise in Daxing Palace.

The next day, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, is the Lantern Festival. All government offices have a holiday. The Lantern Festival holiday is naturally not included in the five-day holiday. If someone happens to have a five-day holiday and coincides with the Lantern Festival, it can be postponed by one day and the holiday will be consecutive.

Two days.

Yang Jian is hosting a banquet in the palace, and will be hosting a banquet at night for ministers above a certain level and their families.

After dusk, Cui Che took the Bodhisattva slave who had returned to Daxing, his wife Yang Lihua, and stepdaughter Yuwen Eying into the palace. On the road, he accidentally bumped into Yang Guang's family.

I don't know if Yang Guang was waiting for him specially. After entering the palace, in front of the Crown Prince Yang Yong, Yang Guang and Cui Che showed their intimacy and deliberately declared their sovereignty to Yang Yong.

Cui Che couldn't help laughing. Yang Yong and Yang Guang were both men, otherwise he would have to behave like a scumbag: I will marry you and sleep with him.

This time when I reunited with Yang Yong in the palace, Yang Yong had long lost the high spirits he had when he held a banquet in the East Palace.

Yang Guang, who had accomplished the task of destroying the country, coveted the throne, and the alienation of Yang Jian and his wife, especially his mother Dugu Jialuo, made Yang Yong physically and mentally exhausted.

The East Palace was not at peace because of the conflict between Crown Princess Yuanshi and Yun Zhaoxun.

Accompanying Yang Yong today was the Crown Princess Yuanshi. Yang Yong knew his mother Dugu Jialuo's attitude towards Yun Zhaoxun, so he left her in the East Palace.

Cui Che noticed that Crown Princess Yuanshi looked very poor.

He knew that the angry Yuanshi would be the last straw that broke the camel's back, completely breaking the mother-son relationship between Dugu Jialuo and Yang Yong.

When Cui Che was looking at Yuanshi, there was also a gaze looking at him dreamingly. It was Yang Awu, Princess of Lanling.

Yang Awu once again refused the marriage offer to Liu Shu, and was not willing to marry Xiao Jue. No matter how Yang Jian and his wife tried to persuade him, they were determined to keep their integrity for Wang Xiaofeng.

When Wang Xiaofeng died, Yang Awu was only nine years old, and they had not even met her a few times. Yang Jian and his wife didn't know why she was so persistent. They couldn't really stay widowed all their lives.

Dugu Jialuo tried to persuade him many times and even scolded him harshly, but Yang Awu just sobbed silently and refused to let go.

Seeing his mother, Dugu Jialuo, felt distressed for a while, but he could not force her to remarry, so he had no choice but to let her go, planning to wait until Yang Awu changed his mind before making further arguments.

My dear princess, are you still worried about not being able to find a family?

Cui Che felt someone's eyes on him. He turned around and met Yang Awu's eyes.

Yang Awu hurriedly lowered his head and avoided looking.

Cui Che glanced at Yang Lihua, who was chatting happily with Dugu Jialuo not far away, and let out a long sigh of relief.

It's just that all this fell in Yuwen Eying's eyes.

Yuwen Eying also knew the inside story. She was the one who told Yang Lihua that Yang Jian intended to match Cui Che and Yang Awu.

I finally understood why my aunt refused to get married. It turned out that she already had a grandpa in her heart.

Yuwen Eying was not surprised that Yang Awu fell in love with him.

If it weren't for the identity of father and daughter, such a man would probably be tempted himself.

Yuwen Eying looked at Dugu Jialuo, secretly wondering if her grandmother really didn't know her aunt's thoughts.

There is no better daughter than a mother. Of course Dugu Jialuo understood Yang Awu's concerns, but there was nothing she could do about it.

No matter how outstanding Cui Che is, it is impossible for him to marry two princesses at the same time.

Dugu Jialuo now only hopes that time can dilute everything. Besides, the two of them have never met a few times in total. It seems that Ah Wu's feelings for Cui Che are not necessarily deep.

The ministers and their families arrived one after another, and Cui Che also saw Yang Su's family.

Although Yang Su was dismissed from office due to his wife Zheng's report, he did not divorce her afterwards. However, only Yang Su himself knew whether he had any resentment in his heart.

Cui Che was not the only one who was interested in Yang Su, Yang Guang's eyes also fell on Yang Su from time to time.
