On the occasion of rebirth Zhou Sui

Chapter 250 Giving back to the clan

As the saying goes, if you do too much injustice, you will be killed.

It was not that Yang Jian didn't know that layman Liu had committed crimes, but he and Liu Chang had been brothers in their early years and had been close friends for half their lives. Moreover, layman Liu was self-aware and never provoked anyone he could not afford to offend, so he often received forgiveness from Yang Jian.

If Liu Chang hadn't been involved in the rebellion, I'm afraid Layman Liu would still be able to get away with it.

It seems that layman Liu was dragged down by his father Liu Chang, but in fact Yang Jian's unjust killing of Liu Chang was not the disaster caused by layman Liu.

As the former prince-in-law, Liu Chang was the original sin in the Sui Dynasty, but Yang Jian finally accepted him and entrusted him with important responsibilities. In this case, the rush to get rid of Liu Chang at this time must not only be because he was the son-in-law of the Yuwen family.

In the final analysis, the problem still lies in the father-son relationship between Yang Jian and Yang Yong.

As a close confidant of the prince, Liu Jushi had many partisans among the sons of ministers, and his father was a general of the Imperial Army.

From the perspective of Yang Jian, who was determined to save money, Liu Chang was undoubtedly a hidden danger around him.

Yang Jian has decided to gradually cut off the prince's wings to prepare for a smooth transition to the throne in the future.

Lan Khan, the capital of East Turkestan, reported it at the right time. For Yang Jian, it was like someone giving him a pillow when he fell asleep.

He didn't care whether Liu Chang was innocent or not, and he didn't care about the half-life friendship. He immediately made a big fuss about this matter and ordered Liu Chang to die at home.

Jushi Liu was beheaded in public. Most of the disciples of the ministers who were party members who were implicated by him were expelled from the public ranks. Only those who had no deep relationship with the East Palace and had done less evil could be pardoned.

Naturally, Yang Yong could not escape Yang Jian's severe reprimand, and Dulan Khan proved his loyalty to the Sui Dynasty. In addition to rewarding him with a large amount of cloth, silk, and livestock, Yang Jian also relaxed the supervision of his tribe.

Just as Cui Che said, Yang Jian didn't care that Dulan Khan was hesitant and didn't make a decisive decision.

On the contrary, he believed that after carefully weighing the pros and cons, Dulan Khan still chose to surrender to the Sui Dynasty and report to the court in the face of temptation. Such loyalty was enough to be trusted.

Because as long as the Great Sui Dynasty remains strong, even if someone instigates it again, Dulan Khan will still make the same choice after careful consideration.

Yang Jian was very confident that with the virtuous reputations displayed by Yang Guang, Yang Zhao and his son, they would be able to prosper for at least three generations.

At the same time, Dulan Khan's meticulous work in Western Turks finally paid off, and Nili Khan did not mobilize any military.

Eastern Turks and Western Turks originally belonged to the Eastern Turks, and it is common for them to have subtle differences with each other.

Facing Yang Jian's large reward, Dulan Khan also kept the name Fang Xuanling firmly in his heart.

"There are many capable people under Duke Yan's command. Whether I can revive the tribe or not, all my hopes fall on him."

Dulan Khan secretly thought.

He knew Cui Che's ambitions, and the reason why he was willing to obey his orders was because he knew that as long as the Sui Dynasty maintained a strong national power, let alone the Eastern Turks, even the Eastern Turks would not be able to reunite.

Dulan Khan was not a time traveler, and he did not know that King Jin of the Sui Dynasty was an excellent management game player who could bring down powerful empires.

In his eyes, the key to turning the Sui Dynasty from prosperity to decline was Cui Che, the Duke of Yan, who was a representative of the Guandong scholars. He had deep influence in You and Qing and was feared by all the tribes in the grassland.

It is true that Cui Che was regarded as An Lushan of the Sui Dynasty.

At this time, Anlushan of the Sui Dynasty, while observing filial piety, was also making contributions to the clan.

Cui Che is able to achieve the power he has today because of his unremitting self-struggle.

Of course, Yang Lihua also provided a little help.

But it would also make people laugh if he said that he had no influence on the Bolingcui family at all.

If he hadn't been born into the Bolingcui family, how could he have walked into the residence of Prime Minister Yang Jian when he was eleven years old, how could he have found out about Yu Chijiong's military situation, and how could he have matched Yang Lihua's identity.

If you were born in a small family, how could you easily fall in the eyes of big shots?

In the past, Cui Che's existence only brought glory to the Boling Cui family, but the actual benefits could be said to be minimal.

Cui Che has never sought an official position for his clan members. To this day, apart from Pei Xiu, he has only recommended three cousins ​​of the Li family in Longxi to the court. After examination by the Ministry of Civil Affairs, they were awarded official positions.

.

Of course, the direct descendants of the Boling Cui family do not need Cui Che to seek positions for them.

After Yang Jian abolished the nine-rank Zhongzheng system, each state recommended three people to the imperial court for admission to the capital for reference, and the appointments were awarded based on merit. Over the years, most of the people recommended by Dingzhou were named Cui, and only a small number of places were given to other noble families to compete for.

As for the children from poor families, this is not a game they can get involved in.

Cui Che did not seek much personal gain for the clan, and the elders of the third family did not blame him.

Knowing that Guan Longxungui's world is now under his control, the clan can't give him much help.

They also hope that Cui Che, as the sect leader, can gain a firm foothold in the court and maintain the status of the third chamber as the top sect.

Therefore, over the years, the clan members of the Third House have never asked Cui Che to seek personal gain for them.

Now Cui Che resigned and returned to his hometown to honor his grandmother. He also decided to give back to the clan during this period. Of course, in the final analysis, he still wanted to show kindness to his fellow clansmen and win the hearts of others.

The Boling Cui family was a top-notch family and had many children, most of whom were wealthy, but there were also common people who lived in poverty.

They won't starve to death, but their lives are still not easy.

Cui Che's uncle Cui Lu, who had not yet entered the fifth server, had to work as a steward in the manor.

Not to mention that many people who were born as concubines were related by blood hundreds of years ago.

Seeing this, Cui Che invited the elders of the Qifang clan to the manor. When everyone arrived, Cui Che, who was wearing mourning clothes, said:

"My dear elders, please listen to what Cui Che has to say.

“We, the descendants of the Bolingcui family, share the same ancestry and share the same bloodline.

“Some people are born into high status and call slaves and maidservants; there are also people who come from poor families and have plenty of food.

“As the saying goes, it’s better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish.

"This young man has been in officialdom for thirteen years. He has made some minor achievements, received wrong love from saints, and received many rewards. I dare not say that he has a huge fortune, but he is also quite wealthy.

"Today I would like to donate my family's free money to help the poor members of my clan rent a store and buy a place to make a living.

"Cui Che has filial piety and cannot do everything himself. Please ask the elders in the clan to help."

As soon as he finished speaking, the elders of each house rushed to donate money and property. Not only could they win a good reputation, but they could also build a relationship with Cui Che, the Duke of Yan. Why not do it.

Cui Che said:

"The purpose of inviting all the elders here today is not to cost the clan elders. How can I, Cui Che, be so generous?

"What I'm asking for is that the clan elders can provide convenience to the poor clan members. All the expenses incurred during the period will be borne by Cui Che alone."

After hearing this, all the clan elders praised Cui Che greatly.
