On the occasion of rebirth Zhou Sui

Chapter 270 The palace is completed

On the first day of March in the fifteenth year of the founding of the Emperor (AD 595), Fang Xuanling and others were still on the way, but Cui Che followed Yang Jian's car and had already returned to Daxing.

During this eastward tour, Yang Jian once again saw the wealth of Guandong. After driving into Tongguan, on February 27, he issued an edict to collect all weapons from the world. Anyone who dared to forge weapons privately would be punished with a serious crime.

Qin Shihuang, who once collected all the troops from the world and gathered them in Xianyang, said he was an expert on this.

It's just that Yang Jian didn't make gold men, which was what Er Zhurong liked to do, and Yang Jian also made a small hole: Guanzhong and the border areas were not included in the confiscation.

The border residents needed to defend themselves against foreign enemies and plunder, and they had to be strong in military virtue. Naturally, their weapons could not be confiscated.

Making an exception for Guanzhong made the people in Guandong and Jiangnan full of complaints.

The people do not worry about scarcity, but about inequality.

Yes, when the Sui Dynasty inherited the Northern Zhou Dynasty and annexed the world, the people of Guanzhong made great efforts.

Yang Jian attaches great importance to Guanzhong. This is something that everyone in the world knows very well, but who can swallow his distrust of the people of Guandong and Jiangnan in such a straightforward manner.

Guanzhong used to be glorious, but what is the situation now? There are droughts every three days, and the emperor has to take all the civil and military officials to Guandong to avoid famine from time to time.

Nowadays, the people who support the prosperity of the Sui Dynasty are the people of Guandong and Jiangnan. They are the ones who are transfusing blood for the imperial court.

Yang Jian's approach undoubtedly chilled everyone's heart.

After this edict was issued to the world, people such as Zhao Mu, Wang Dangwan, Dong Jing, Fang Yanqian and others became more determined to assist Cui Che in achieving great achievements.

How can a dignified husband be treated like a second-class citizen? This Sui Dynasty is just the Sui Dynasty of Guanzhong people.

Of course, these are all things for later.

On the third day of March, the day before Cui Che took up his post at the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Fang Xuanling finally arrived in Daxing with everyone.

After Cui Che paid homage to Cui Zhaorong, he ignored the rest of his family, held Fang Xuanling's hand in public, and talked happily with him.

Fang Xuanling called Dou Jiande to his side and introduced Cui Che:

"This is Dou Jiande from Dongyang. He came to Anping to join Ming Gong. Fang took it upon himself to bring him to Daxing."

However, Cui Che knew Dou Jiande far better than Fang Xuanling.

As the saying goes, a hero should not be judged by his success or failure, but in fact, the reality is that the winner is the king and the loser is the enemy.

Dou Jiande succeeded and failed because of his loyalty, but it is undeniable that, putting aside his military ability, Dou Jiande was indeed a man who did great things.

There were many people on the street, but Cui Che just nodded slightly to Dou Jiande, exchanged a few words, and encouraged him to work hard and have a bright future.

After entering Yanguo Mansion, Cui Che and Fang Xuanling came to the remote wing where they usually held discussions.

Fang Xuanling said angrily:

"The emperor is rich all over the world and is the father of all peoples. How can he be biased and treat the people of Guandong as thieves and guard against them!"

On the way to Daxing, Fang Xuanling not only heard the order to confiscate weapons, but even experienced it personally.

When passing through Tongguan, all the swords he carried were taken away. No wonder Fang Xuanling couldn't wait to talk to Cui Che since there was no one else around.

What he cared about was not the sword, but the humiliation.

Cui Che brewed a bowl of tea, handed it to Fang Xuanling, and persuaded:

"Have a cup of tea and calm down first."

After Fang Xuanling took the tea cup, Cui Che smiled and said:

"A single edict can certainly capture all the weapons of the world, but what it loses is the hearts of all the people."

Hearing this, Fang Xuanling turned from anger to joy.

In fact, with his intelligence, he could not have imagined that the reason why Fang Xuanling complained to Cui Che was simply to show his dissatisfaction with Yang Jian and his determination to start a business with Cui Che.

That night, Cui Che was preparing to go to the Ministry of Civil Affairs tomorrow to work as an official, but a eunuch from the palace came to inform him that it turned out that Renshou Palace had taken three years to complete and was finally completed.

The eunuch sent a message to Yang Jian, asking Cui Che not to rush to take up a post in the Ministry of Civil Affairs but to go to Qizhou for inspection first.

Cui Che accepted the mission and quietly handed a money bag to the eunuch. The eunuch smiled brightly and reminded:

"Yan Gong is traveling with Qi Gong (Gao Jiong) this time, so I hope we can make preparations in advance."

Cui Che thanked the eunuch for his kindness and sent him out of the house as a gift. Then he called Fang Xuanling and came to the wing with Dou Jiande, who had just settled down.

"The saint ordered me to go to Qizhou to inspect the Renshou Palace. I will leave all the affairs at home to Xuanling. When I come back to Daxing, I will recommend it to the court and seek an official position for Xuanling."

Cui Che promised.

Fang Xuanling happily agreed and could wait for three years. Could it be that he couldn't survive these ten days and a half?

After Fang Xuanling left, Cui Che immediately looked at Dou Jiande and said:

"When I was in Anping County, I often heard about your deeds.

"You are usually diligent and frugal, but you are also generous with your wealth. These are the qualities I like.

"I'm calling you here tonight because I hope you can go to Qizhou with me and take this opportunity to get to know each other better.

"If you feel that you don't have the same interests as me, Mr. Cui will not make things difficult for you. He should give you money to release you."

Dou Jiande heard this and was moved:

"My family has been farming for generations, and Ming Gong has spent many years as a hairpin. How can he be so virtuous? How can he dare to abandon his master when he is so valued by Ming Gong?"

Cui Che patted his shoulder and encouraged:

“A true man does not care about his origin, he depends on a gentleman to see an opportunity and an expert to know his destiny.

"You are lucky enough to work for me. In the future, I will definitely seek an official title for you, so that your descendants can come from the Haoying family."

Of course Cui Che couldn't have a heart-to-heart relationship with Dou Jiande now, so he just asked for an official title for him instead of rewarding him with an official title.

Dou Jiande was overjoyed when he heard this. He had worked hard for so many years just for this sentence.

There is no doubt that Cui Che is one of the most talented people in the world. This can be seen from the fact that Yang Jian sent Cui Che and Gao Jiao to inspect Renshou Palace together.

In Yang Jian's eyes, Cui Che and Gao Jiong have the same status.

They are all Dukes of the State, the Shangzhu Kingdom, the difference is that Gao Jiong is the Prime Minister, but Cui Che is also the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. This would have been in the Han Dynasty, and the size was also based on the position of the Prime Minister.

The next morning, Cui Che hurriedly entered the palace to bid farewell to Yang Jian. Gao Jun was also in the palace at this time.

Yang Jian told the two of them to inspect carefully. Seeing that summer was approaching, in a few days, Yang Jian would patrol north to Qizhou and go to Renshou Palace to escape the summer heat. When they moved in, they would find problems, which would become serious in nature.

No matter whether it was Cui Che and Gao Jiong who inspected the palace, or Yang Su who supervised the construction of Renshou Palace, all three of them could not escape punishment.

Cui Che and Gao Jiu bowed to the order, then excused themselves and left the hall together.

The two were walking side by side in the palace city. When they were not far from Guangyang Gate, Gao Qiao suddenly said:

"The impeachment of the prince by Duke Pi (Su Wei) must have been instigated by Duke Yan."

The next chapter will be before twelve o'clock and in the early morning
