On the occasion of rebirth Zhou Sui

Chapter 277 En Tong and his son

Cui Che did not expect that he would be able to lead the army again after five years. After all, although he denied his friendship with Dulan Khan, based on his understanding of Yang Jianxiong's temperament, he felt that it should be Yang Su, or perhaps

Gao Jiong and Shi Wansui were generals.

But Yang Jian has his own reasons for arranging it this way.

Cui Che did have a personal relationship with Dulan Khan Yong Yulu, but so what.

Seventeen years ago, when Yang Jian had just come to power, Yuchi Jiong rebelled in Hebei. Could it be that Wei Xiaokuan, the marching marshal who was entrusted with the important task, was not acquainted with Yuchi Jiong.

Yang Jian believed that his son-in-law was a smart man, just like Wei Xiaokuan, who understood the general trend of the world and would not have second thoughts because of his friendship with Yong Yulu.

This kind of self-confidence was also based on the strength of the Sui Dynasty.

Just now Yang Su claimed that Cui Che had always had a reputation in the Turks, and with him in charge of Longyou and Datou, Nili did not dare to invade.

But Yang Jian knew that the Eastern Turks were more in awe of Cui Che, and no one was more confident than Cui Che in defeating Dulan Khan.

Now that the Eastern Turks are rebelling, if they are defeated, the surrounding tribes will think that the strength of the Sui Dynasty and the Eastern Turks is ebbing and flowing, and they will turn to Dulan Khan.

Therefore, there is no room for failure in this battle.

Cui Che was so smart that he could guess Yang Jian's purpose in an instant. He said confidently:

"Weak ministers must defeat thieves for Your Majesty!"

Yang Su was somewhat disappointed that he could not lead the army as he wished, but the burden fell on Cui Che, so it was considered that the good news would not go to outsiders.

Gao Yan did not object. From a public perspective, Cui Che was indeed the most suitable candidate.

Yang Su, Gao Jun, Cui Che, and Yu Qingze resigned, but Yang Jian only kept Cui Che. He dismissed the attendants in the palace, stroked Cui Che's back, and said:

"I have high hopes for my consort.

"You and Guang'er are like brothers. I not only have to drive this thousand-mile horse like you myself, but I also have to leave it to Guang'er to assist him in governing the world and opening up new territories for him.

"You are the husband-in-law of Princess Leping and also my son-in-law. We are a family, so how can I be suspicious of the consort.

"This time to suppress the rebellion, the prince-in-law can relax his hands and feet, and there is no need to worry about the so-called great achievements that shake the master.

"Among all the ministers, the one I trust and love the most is you, Zicheng!"

But Cui Che is very sober. Anyone who believes this is a fool.

After all, his situation is similar to that of Lan Yu, and Yang Guang is Zhu Biao.

Zhu Biao is alive and can control Lan Yu, so Lan Yu naturally does not need to die.

Zhu Biao died, what ability did Zhu Yunwen have, and how could Zhu Yuanzhang dare to leave Lan Yu to his grandson.

Don't look at what Yang Jian says to him the most, what he trusts and loves the most.

When he first attacked Chen, he was led by Gao Qiu, and he did not give back a single Dugu Gong. Dugu Gong is like a mirror, the more he wipes it, the clearer it becomes.

Cui Che was sure that if Yang Guang walked ahead of Yang Jian, Yang Jian would definitely take action against him, whether he was raising another son or his grandson Yang Zhao.

After all, with the relationship between Cui Che and Yang Guang, Yang Zhao is a threat to other sons.

If Yang Zhao is established, he is worried that he will not be able to control Cui Che.

Who said that Yang Jian himself bullied the young master to get the upper hand?

Of course, during this battle between masters, Cui Che was still in tears. He paused and cried:

"I have been lonely since I was a child. I have never felt the love of my parents since I was young, until I met Your Majesty.

"Your Majesty gave me a cousin, married my beloved daughter, treated me like a father and son, and treated me with kindness.

"The queen is like a loving mother, protecting her subordinates time and time again.

"How dare I not do my best to maintain the country?

"The humble minister Cui Che is willing to go through fire and water for the Yang family for generations!"

When Yang Jian heard this, he also shed tears of emotion. He wiped his tears with his sleeves and said with emotion:

"Okay! If I can listen to Zicheng's heartfelt words, I can rest in peace even if I am under the Nine Springs."

Cui Che choked and said:

"I have nothing to ask for. I only ask that your Majesty live a long life, so that I can serve you for the rest of my life."

Yang Jian helped Cui Che up, looked at his sincere expression, and encouraged him:

"I am waiting for you to return to the court in victory, and then I will grant you an official title for Yan Qing!"

Cui Che was very excited when he heard this:

"Your Majesty has been so kind to two generations of my Cui family. How can a humble minister repay such kindness?"

Yang Jian smiled and said:

"Could it be that my consort has forgotten that Yanqing is not only his son, but also my grandson."

In fact, without changing the phase, Cui Che's official title has reached its end, so Yang Jian said that he would reward Cui Che's second son, Cui Yanqing, with the official title as a reward after Cui Che's victory.

.

It was also in An Cui Che's heart that he knew that he would not end up in a situation where his achievements would be hard to reward.

Cui Che bowed his head to Yang Jian again and again before resigning.

He first returned to the Ministry of Civil Affairs office and called Fang Xuanling to inform him of the matter.

There is no need to hide this kind of thing from others, and there is no need to wait until you return home to discuss it secretly.

Fang Xuanling volunteered:

"I am willing to go with the minister!"

Of course, Cui Che cannot be called Ming Gong in the government office, he must be called his official title.

Cui Che originally planned to take Fang Xuanling with him, and he also had the opportunity to perform meritorious service, so he naturally would not refuse.

Immediately, he reported to the imperial court and asked Fang Xuanling, the minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, to be in charge of military logistics.

From Yang Jian's point of view, these were trivial matters, and he agreed with a wave of his hand.

Before Cui Che left his post, the imperial edict had been sent to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, appointing Cui Che as the military commander and commanding the soldiers from Youzhou and other places, six states and fifty towns in the northern expedition to the Eastern Turks.

Cui Che did not seek out Li Jing. Now Li Jing is observing mourning at home because of his father's death. Cui Che has also visited Li Jing many times, but this time he went on an expedition, Cui Che decided not to disturb him.

At dusk, Cui Che waved goodbye to Fang Xuanling.

Fang Xuanling has moved out of Yanguo Mansion since he became an official.

He is already an official of the imperial court, so it is impossible for him to stay in Cui Che's house.

Back home, Yang Lihua already knew the news that he was going to fight again, and even Xiruan had packed up for Cui Che in advance.

Cui Che hugged Yang Lihua and expressed his determination to his wife:

"On this trip, I will earn a title for Yan Qing."

Yang Lihua pursed her lips and said:

"There is no need for Cui Lang to take any risks in this matter. I can ask for an official title for Yan Qing myself."

Cui Che smiled and said:

"Officials and titles should be obtained based on merit, so how can you ask for help?"

Yang Lihua said helplessly:

"As a woman, I don't understand that you men are full of ambitions. OK, but Cui Lang must listen carefully. You must not show off your courage for a moment. You must take care of your family."

This is also a commonplace for Yang Lihua. Every time she goes on an expedition, she always has to give Cui Che a few words.

"I respectfully obey the Queen Mother's instructions."

Cui Che said and reached out to untie her belt. Yang Lihua grabbed her husband's hand and stopped her:

"Let's talk about it at night."

Cui Che did not agree:

"It's been a year and a half after this separation. I hope the Queen Mother will take pity on you."

Yang Lihua couldn't help but joked:

"Cui Lang was still saying that he couldn't ask for help."

Cui Che picked up his wife by the waist and said with a smile:

"This is an exception."
