On the occasion of rebirth Zhou Sui

Chapter 205 Discussion of Reserve Position

Cui Che not only cares about Qin Qiong alone, but every new year and festival, whether he is an old member of Qingzhou or an old member of Youzhou, he will receive a gift.

Gifts are not expensive, but they cannot afford too many old friends, and they cost a lot of money every year.

Most of the old people are from well-off families, and they are actually not short of these three melons and two dates.

However, let alone gifts, sometimes even conveying Cui Che's care and greetings can make the old subordinates excited for a long time.

He is very good at these little tricks to win people over.

Cui Che specially arranged for Pei Xiu, the governor of Jiaozhou, and Shi Dongjing, the governor of Yi, to take charge of this matter for him.

In Qingzhou and other places, Pei Xiu used Cui Che's name to give gifts and greetings on his behalf, while in Youzhou and other places, Dong Jing prepared gifts for everyone.

Cui Che can't really do it himself.

At the end of February in the tenth year of Kaihuang's reign (AD 590), Yang Jian's car arrived in Jinyang. Yang Guang and Bingzhou officials came out of the city to greet them. After Yang Jian briefly exchanged greetings with everyone, he and Queen Dugu Jialuo, accompanied by Yang Guang, went straight there.

Jinwangfu located in Jinyang.

In the Jin Palace, the furnishings are old and the musical instruments are covered with dust, which seems to say that Jin Wang Yang Guang is busy with government affairs and has no time to enjoy singing and dancing.

And it is true that there are no singers or dancers in Yang Guang's house.

The maids at home are all ordinary-looking people, not to mention old and poor in appearance.

As for the concubines, they were just decorations. After Dugu Jialuo inquired, he learned that Yang Guang slept with Princess Jin every night and would not easily favor his concubines.

Dugu Jialuo was elated. Compared with Yang Yong, he only felt that his second son Yang Guang was in line with his wishes.

Yang Guang's frugal and dedicated image also fell in Yang Jian's eyes, but he was more concerned about the governance of Bingzhou and secretly sent people to inquire about it. All he heard was the praise of Yang Guang from the people of Bingzhou.

When he went to the bedroom, there were no outsiders, and Dugu Jialuo mentioned Yi Chu to Yang Jian for the first time.

“From Liu Yu’s founding of the Song Dynasty (420 AD) to Chen Baxian’s usurpation of the Liang Dynasty (557 AD), in just over a hundred years, the south experienced four dynasties.

"I think that when Liu Yu, Xiao Daocheng, Xiao Yan, Chen Baxian and others proclaimed themselves emperors, they would not have expected that the state of Zuo would be so short-lived. They thought that their descendants would be the foundation of all generations.

"The reason is that the descendants are unworthy and the people entrusted by the country are unworthy.

"Your Majesty put down the rebellion, drove away the Turks, and went south to destroy Chen, ending the troubled times.

“Working hard and sleeping hard, we have experienced today’s prosperity.

"As a mother, I shouldn't say these words, but as your Majesty's queen, I can't ignore them.

"The prince does not practice virtue and his weapons are not of the highest quality. I am afraid that your majesty's inheritance will be lost in his hands, and you and I will end up with no descendants!"

As he spoke, he shed tears and sobbed silently.

Every word and sentence of Dugu Jialu struck a chord in Yang Jian's heart.

How did Yang Jian come to the throne? It was not because the filial son Yu Wen Yun disobeyed Emperor Wu of Zhou and slaughtered the clan wantonly, killing all the Qi King Yu Wen Xian, Xiao Zhongzai Yu Wen Xiaobo and others. Only then did Yang Jian usurp Zhou Jian.

Sui.

The Song Dynasty bullied orphans and widowed mothers and relied on soldiers to become the world. Therefore, throughout the Song Dynasty, military generals were strictly guarded, lest future generations would imitate them.

Yang Jian killed all the descendants of Yu Wentai, so he was not worried about his own descendants.

Since Liu Yu founded the Song Dynasty, it has almost become a routine to slaughter the clan members of the previous dynasty.

When Yang Jian was silent, Dugu Jialuo continued to say sadly:

"Everyone has a love for their son. The prince was also born to me in ten months of pregnancy, so how could I have any preference for him?"

"However, the prince is really incompetent. I persuaded your majesty to change his position today, just to make him suffer a little.

"In the future, if the crown prince is unable to protect His Majesty's inheritance, how will his four brothers, and even Zhao'er and his grandsons, be able to save their lives?"

Yang Jian wiped away his wife's tears and sighed:

"What the queen said is not the worry in my heart. What the prince has done in recent years has really disappointed me, but the prince is the foundation of the country and cannot act rashly.

"We should give Yong'er some more time. If he can change his ways, I can leave the country to him. If he doesn't want to repent."

Yang Jian sighed heavily and said:

"I just pretend I don't have this son!"

Yang Yong, who was in Daxing City, actually knew that his position as prince was in jeopardy, so after being scolded by Yang Jian, he also put away his thoughts. At least before Yang Jian went to Jinyang, Yang Yong was able to suppress his desire for pleasure.

But now that Yang Jian was out on patrol, it was Gao Jiong who stayed behind in Daxing. Yang Yong finally lost his scruples and started singing, dancing, and playing the shengxiao again.

Yun Dingxing, the father of his beloved concubine Yun Zhaoxun, brought him fancy clothes and precious jade articles. Tang Lingze, the concubine of the left palace in the East Palace, also played drums and sang for Yang Yong.

Yun Zhaoxun was arrogant and arrogant in favor, and dictated everything in the palace. The Crown Princess Yuanshi was depressed all day long, and her heart disease became a little worse.

The night is getting darker, Prince Jin's Mansion in Jinyang.

Earlier, Yang Guang had been in contact with Cui Che and learned about Yang Su's secret attachment.

He couldn't help the joy in his heart and said to Princess Xiao of Jin:

"The queen mother hates the prince, and now Zicheng has told me that Yang Su is here, which makes her even more powerful."

Princess Xiao of Jin also had a smile on her face. She was not happy that her husband was one step closer to the throne, but that Yang Guang was happy, and she was also happy.

It is precisely because of understanding his wife that Yang Guang has no scruples and tells her everything.

Princess Jin tactfully advised:

"No matter how happy the king is to meet Duke Yan again, he cannot drink too much tonight. The two saints are resting in the mansion now. They must not let them indulge themselves in front of the king."

Yang Guang held Princess Jin's hand:

"I, Yang Guang, am truly blessed to have you as my virtuous wife."

As she spoke, she put her other hand around Princess Jin's waist.

Yang Guang's words were indeed true. His wife gave birth to two sons and one daughter for him, especially the eldest son Yang Zhao, and his father Yang Jian dreamed of meeting a god and came to earth, so she became pregnant in response to the omen.

Yang Guang was honored in front of Yang Jian and his wife.

Princess Jin wanted to break free, she said:

"Yan Gong is still waiting to have a drink with the king."

Yang Guang smiled narrowly and said:

"Let him wait."

Yang Guang faced Cui Che and said slightly apologetically:

"There is something going on at home, so Zicheng has been waiting for a long time."

Cui Che was startled. He didn't seem to have waited too long. The wine had only just warmed up.

Although I don't know what happened to delay Yang Guang, I guess it's not a big deal.

What could be done in a few minutes, Cui Che didn't say anything.

The two of them had a drink and reminisced about the past in the garden of Prince Jin's palace.

Yang Guang asked Cui Che a lot about things in Beijing. It was not that he didn't have his own ears and eyes. The reason why he did so was just to show Yang Jian:

Look, how obedient I am. Even when it comes to matters in the capital, I have to consult my friend Cui Che. I, Yang Guang, can't do anything like spying on the palace in private.

There are three more chapters.
