On the occasion of rebirth Zhou Sui

Chapter 419 The prince asks for help

Zhao Wen and others had arrived safely in Hedong, and on their way to Jinyang, the messenger rushed to inform Cui Che of the news in advance.

After Cui Che read the letter, he immediately summoned Fang Xuanling to the Chinese Foreign Affairs Office.

After Fang Xuanling learned about this, she said excitedly:

"I will go to the prison now and bring Keming (Du Ruhui's word Keming) to the king."

Cui Che shook his head and smiled:

"Xuan Ling recommended Du Ruhui to Gu Ju many times, and Xuan Ling admired him. Gu was convinced that this person had the talent to manage the world.

"How can such a great talent be looked down upon and treated as such?"

Fang Xuanling was very impressed by what he said, and he no longer persisted, and instead returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion to handle government affairs, and would meet Du Ruhui again after his shift.

Now that Du Ruhui's family members have been taken over, they no longer have any worries. Fang Xuanling believes that Du Ruhui can make the right decision.

The Jinyang Prison was dark and damp. Under the guidance of the jailer, Cui Che came to a cell.

In the prison, a young scribe sat quietly with his eyes closed. It was not until Cui Che ordered the jailer to open the door that he opened his eyes.

The young scribe was Du Ruhui. He looked at Cui Che and said:

"Is the person coming here King Yan?"

Cui Che had never seen Du Ruhui before. He walked into the cell door and said doubtfully:

"Sir, how did you know you were here alone?"

Du Ruhui said calmly:

"I am friends with Xuan Ling, but when I came to Jinyang, Xuan Ling did not go to jail to visit me. It must be because of the king's order.

"Today, a distinguished person visited the prison. If the king is not here in person, who could he be?"

Cui Che patted his hands and praised:

"Sir, you have a keen eye. I wonder if you can guess why Cui is here today."

Du Ruhui did not think deeply, he just took a deep look at Cui Che and asked:

"Dumou's family members should be arriving in Jinyang soon."

Cui Che said in surprise:

"Sir, is he a god?"

Du Ruhui explained:

"Xuanling is my confidant. I know his temperament and he also understands my talents.

"But Du has been detained in prison. If you think about it carefully, it can only be the king and Xuanling who want to save Du from worries.

"The only ones Du is worried about are his family members. Now that their family members are all in Guanxi, the king naturally wants to bring them to Hedong first.

"It has been more than a month since I was escorted to Jinyang. Your Majesty came to the prison today with a happy face. If Du's prediction is true, it is natural that Du's family members have escaped from Kansai."

Cui Che breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

He thought that Du Ruhui was good at calculations, and it turned out that he had deduced it through these clues.

Cui Che ignored the filthiness of the cell, sat down on the floor opposite Du Ruhui, and apologized to him:

"There are many elaborate works in Jinyang City. Cui was afraid of causing harm to his family, so he had no choice but to imprison him. I hope you will forgive me."

Du Ruhui shook his head and said:

"Your Majesty acts carefully, as it should be."

Cui Che saw that he did not feel resentful because of his imprisonment during this period. He felt happy and said seriously:

"Cui came here today to ask for your assistance. I hope you will not refuse."

Du Ruhui stood up, then bowed to Cui Che and said solemnly:

"Your Majesty, you always think about me, and you don't hesitate to go to great lengths to receive this kindness. If you don't think about repaying it, you are no different from rotten wood.

"As long as the king does not give up, Du is willing to do the hard work of dogs and horses."

Cui Che was overjoyed when he heard this. He helped Du Ruhui up and said excitedly:

"My husband is as comfortable as a fish in water."

The two of them walked out of Jinyang Prison hand in hand. Cui Che took Du Ruhui to the mansion prepared for him in advance. The mansion had already arranged slaves and maids. Cui Che asked him to wait and his family would arrive in Jinyang in a few days.

After all, people have reached the border of Hedong, it is possible that they can get lost.

Du Ruhui also expressed his gratitude to Cui Che again.

After Cui Che said goodbye to Du Ruhui, he returned to Zhongwai Mansion.

The Prime Minister's Office is in charge of government affairs, and the Chinese and Foreign Affairs Office is in charge of the military. Since Cui Che plans to go south to the Central Plains, the military is the top priority, so he is stationed in the Chinese and Foreign Affairs Office to supervise preparations before the war.

The Prime Minister's Office completely delegated power to Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng.

Although the two of them are not as famous as Fang's conspirators in history, Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng have known each other for many years and have cooperated with each other tacitly. Now under their governance, the Eastern Sui Dynasty can be said to be politically clear and orderly, both inside and outside the court.

Not long after Cui Che returned to the government office, he received a letter from Yidu. At first, Cui Che thought that something had happened in Qingzhou. After reading the letter, he realized that Cui Qiji's letter was for two things.

The first thing is that he hopes to select 30,000 elite soldiers from the 100,000 infantry and cavalry in Qingqi to conquer Lai Hu'er who is entrenched in Caozhou and other places.

Cui Che admitted this. He had high expectations for Cui Qiji, but he didn't dare to expect that he could be Li Yuan and enjoy the success.

The second request was related to personnel matters. Cui Qiji hoped that Cui Che could send his friend Li Mi to Qingzhou to join the shogunate.

Regarding this request, Cui Che hesitated again and again before agreeing.

Cui Qiji is not Zhai Rang. Zhai Rang has neither ambition nor the ability to lead the Wagang army.

Naturally, such a person cannot make Li Mi surrender.

Cui Qiji's talent is recognized by Cui Che, and he has a giant Buddha behind him, so there is no need to worry about him following in Zhai Rang's footsteps.

Besides, if Cui Qiji is really replaced by Li Mi, the matter of Li Tao being replaced is not entirely a bad thing.

At least it can make Cui Che realize the reality that his eldest son cannot be reused. If he can't hold a single Qingzhou, how will he hold on to the family business in the future.

Of course, that's what they say, but Cui Qiji is his most valued son after all. Just in case, Cui Che decided to promote Du Ruhui beyond his level, and appointed Du Ruhui as the governor of Qingzhou to assist Cui Qiji in governing Qingzhou and other places.

At the same time, he also agreed to Cui Qiji's plea, and appointed Li Mi as the Sima of Qingzhou to assist Cui Qiji in handling military affairs in Qingzhou and other places, so that they could reunite as good friends.

These two people have been tired of being together all day long since they were young, but this is also the reason why Cui Qiji was driven to Weishui Academy by Cui Che at a young age.

Cui Che arranged this civil and military arrangement for Cui Qiji, which shows that he attaches great importance to the crown prince.

Li Mi studied literature at Weishui Academy when he was young, but as an adult, he liked to study the art of war. Now he is full of strategies. He is qualified for the post of Sima of the General Administration. If he had not had such talent, how could he have led the Wagang Army to its peak in the original time and space?

For a while.

This personnel appointment and dismissal was quickly notified to Li Mi and Du Ruhui.

Li Mi naturally wanted to go to Qingzhou and serve under Cui Qiji.

Compared with senior brother Cui Che, who has many talented people under his command, it is obviously easier for him to help his friend Cui Qiji to get ahead.

And Du Ruhui didn't feel that Cui Che's arrangement made him look down on himself. After all, Cui Qiji was also the crown prince of Prince Yan.

He happily accepted the appointment, and Cui Che did not rush Du Ruhui to leave, but allowed him to wait in Jinyang to reunite with his family.

On the third day after Du Ruhui was released, his family members arrived in Jinyang safely and without incident.

The update will be very late today
