On the occasion of rebirth Zhou Sui

Chapter 237 Cui Che returns to court

Guangling Jinwangfu, backyard wing.

Yang Guang complained:

"Why did Zicheng send Shi Wansui to the west to make great achievements?"

Shi Wansui led two thousand elite troops to defeat Wang Wenjin, one of the three great emperors. Coupled with his previous achievements, he can be regarded as the person who made the first contribution in this battle.

Cui Che was not used to Yang Guang either. He said bluntly:

"Previously Shi Wansui lost contact with me, and his life and death were unknown. His Highness once praised Cui, but today he complained about Cui."

Yang Guang waved his hands repeatedly and said:

"Don't mention old things! Don't mention old things!"

Princess Jin, who was sitting next to Yang Guang, poured a bowl of wine and said to Cui Che:

"I congratulate Duke Yan on his victory and return to the court."

Before Cui Che could drink with her, Yang Guang took the wine bowl from Princess Jin's hand and said reproachfully:

"How can you drink alcohol when you are pregnant?"

Cui Che couldn't help but look at Princess Jin's belly: She's pregnant again!

This glance was caught by Princess Jin, who turned slightly red.

When Yang Guang took the wine glass and looked at Cui Che, Cui Che had already looked away.

No matter how bold he is, he cannot look at Princess Jin in front of Yang Guang.

After three drinks, Cui Che took his leave. Yang Guang specially called his eldest daughter, Guanyin, to say goodbye to Cui Che.

Maid Guanyin is now six years old, and she has a vague look of Princess Jin in her eyebrows, making her even more adorable.

Yang Guang personally escorted Cui Che out of the house. When leaving, Yang Guang said reluctantly:

"Why should Zicheng leave in a hurry? Why not stay in Guangling for three to five days, so that you and I can get together."

Cui Che had dismissed his soldiers outside Guangling City a few days ago, and they were returning home one after another with their trophies. Only some of those who had made great contributions would go to Daxing to receive the bestowal.

And he himself plans to set off tomorrow to go back to Daxing.

"Having been away from home for half a year, Cui misses his wife and children more and more. The princess sent me Angelica sinensis earlier. The meaning is self-evident. She hopes that I will put an end to the rebellion as soon as possible. Now that the banditry in Jiangnan has been subsided, how can I delay the delay?

day."

Cui Che said with regret.

It seemed that if Yang Lihua hadn't urged him, he would have left his wife and children behind and stayed in Guangling to accompany Yang Guang for a while.

Early the next morning, Shi Wansui and Cui Hongdu came to protect their children. Yu Juluo and others followed Cui Che and were ordered to return to the court. In the accompanying list, in addition to the staff and personal followers Cui Che brought from Daxing City, there were also Mai Tiezhang, Zhang Wu and others.

.

During this time of countering the rebellion, Cui Che ranked Shi Wansui as the first in military merit, Lai Huer as the second, and the third was Mai Tiezhang, ahead of Yu Juluo and Cui Hongdu.

But no one was dissatisfied. Although everyone knew that Mai Tiezhang belonged to Cui Che, his achievements were obvious to all.

Mai Tiezhang took several risks and went deep behind enemy lines to find out the news.

Not only that, he is also capable of killing enemies. He once beheaded thirty levels after being captured. In the rest of the battles, he fought bravely and gained many victories, regardless of his life.

At the same time, Cui Che also sent him to lead troops to capture Songyang. There was nothing wrong with placing him third in terms of military merit.

The fourth most accomplished soldier was Zhang Wu, the captain who commanded Boling's cavalry.

Zhang Wu captured Shen Xuanyao alive one after another. He was highly intelligent. Although there were factors specially arranged by Cui Che, his achievements were naturally inevitable.

Boling's cavalry was led by his deputy and returned to Hebei with the spoils of war, while Zhang Wu wanted to follow Cui Che back to the court.

In his early years, Cui Che asked Zhang Wu to command the Boling Township Regiment, and had already exempted him from slavery and obtained the official status of captain of the township regiment. Strictly speaking, Zhang Wu today is not a slave of the Cui family.

However, Zhang Wu never changed his name and called Cui Che the Duke of Yan. Instead, he called Cui Che the master of the house just like Zhao Wen, Li Qing and others.

On Cui Che's way back to the court, the news that the Jiangnan rebellion was put down also spread throughout Daxing.

Yang Lihua is like a proud peacock. She does not mean to show off, but whenever someone mentions her husband Cui Che, Yang Lihua's face will always bloom with a bright smile. When she rewards her slaves, she is also very generous.

Every time Chen Yueyi and Yuan Lexhang returned to the monastery from Yanguo Mansion, they would always have trouble sleeping.

But Princess Yang Awu of Lanling was depressed all day long. Seeing her losing weight day by day, Dugu Jialuo became anxious and angry.

As a mother, you naturally know what this stubborn daughter is thinking. If Cui Che were the husband of an ordinary woman, Dugu Jialu would have forced him to divorce his wife and remarry.

But the palms and backs of his hands were all flesh, which really left Dugu Jialu helpless.

It was okay for her daughter to be worried. As Dugu Jialuo grew older, her husband Yang Jian also had other thoughts.

Not long ago, Yang Jian actually dared to go behind her back and visit the granddaughter of Yu Chijiong, who was punished and confiscated as a maid in the palace.

When Dugu Jialuo heard about this, he was furious and executed the favored Yuchi family.

Yang Jian was furious about this, but he couldn't get angry at Dugu Jialuo. After all, he had broken his promise back then.

Depressed, Yang Jian rode alone, left the palace, ran into a valley, and went more than twenty miles deep before he was caught up by Gao Xi and Yang Su.

Yang Jian and the two expressed their bitterness:

"I am the emperor, but I am not free."

Gao Xi persuaded Yang Jian:

"Since Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, how can you despise the world for a woman?"

When Yang Su heard this, he glanced at Gao Xi and remembered these words in his heart.

The two persuaded Yang Jian for a long time, and it was not until nightfall that they persuaded Yang Jian to go back.

Dugu Jialu shed tears and apologized. After all, Yang Jian was also the emperor, and Dugu Jialu also realized that what he did had hurt his husband's face.

His wife gave him a step, and Yang Jian took advantage of the slope to get off the donkey. He did not get angry with Dugu Jialuo anymore, and the couple reconciled as before.

As for the palace maid Yuchi who was killed, no one cared about it, she was just transported out of the palace at will and buried hastily.

However, when Yang Su had an audience with Dugu Jialuo, he mentioned Gao Xi's words unintentionally: "How can one woman despise the world?"

The woman Gao Xi mentioned may be Yuchi.

But Dugu Jialu believed that he was looking down upon himself.

Gao Xi's father was once a general of Dugu Xin. He was given the surname Dugu and had a close relationship with the Dugu family.

As Dugu Jialuo's attitude toward the prince Yang Yong changed, she also became estranged from the prince's staunch supporter Gao Xi.

But after all, considering that talents are rare and Gao Xie's hard work makes great achievements, Dugu Jialuo did not take issue, but just kept the matter in his heart.

In the eleventh year of Kaihuang's reign (AD 591), the fourth day of October coincided with the early winter season.

The Bodhisattva slave who took the initiative to wait and see on the official road clearly saw the carriage approaching in the distance. He didn't bother to step forward to pay homage to his father. He turned the horse's head and ran towards Yang Lihua, who was waiting in the pavilion outside the city.

"Mom! Grandpa is back!"

The Bodhisattva slave began to learn to ride a horse before Cui Che left the capital. Yang Lihua was worried that he would fall, so she specially asked for a docile royal horse from the palace.

Yang Jian has always been generous to his eldest daughter, not to mention a horse.

When Yang Lihua heard that Cui Che was about to arrive, she couldn't sit still. She immediately left the pavilion and looked into the distance. After nearly a year apart, she didn't know how much she wanted to talk to Cui Che.

Tomorrow will be the fourth update, and the first chapter will probably be at 3pm. I need to sort out my thoughts in the morning and wake up my brain. I should start writing after lunch.
