Chapter 44: Supporting the underachievers

The war in Yecheng has subsided. Compared with the mess in the north city, Cui Che ordered Zhang Wu to maintain law and order in the south city, and there was a peaceful handover with Wei Xiaokuan, so no trouble occurred.

When Cui Hongsheng left, he was still full of questions. Cui Che was clearly an important member of Yuchi Jong's party and had committed serious crimes. Why didn't he look like a prisoner, but rather like a guest invited by Wei Xiaokuan to the commander's tent?

Full of doubts, Cui Hongsheng found his brother. At this time, Cui Hongdu had hastily buried Yuchi Jiong's headless body.

After listening to Cui Hongsheng's experience, Cui Hongdu pondered for a moment and said:

"Wei Gong is mature and prudent. He will never tolerate rebellion because of the so-called rare talent. I am afraid that the conflict between Cui Che and the prime minister's son has another hidden agenda."

Wei Xiaokuan was so cautious. He delayed sending troops in Heyang because he had to wait for the supervising army to share the credit. He also did not participate in the siege of Yuchi Jiong because he was afraid that his achievements would shock his master.

Such a character, but he has a new regard for Cui Che, who has an old grudge against Yang Guang, and there is a lot to be said for it.

"Maybe he is the Prime Minister's secret agent!"

Cui Hongsheng was not a fool. He could think clearly after just a moment's thought. He exclaimed and then asked in confusion:

"Then Cui Che is willing to take risks, so what's the point?"

Of course, Cui Che could not have taken this merit. After all, it was absolutely impossible for Yang Jian to start dealing with Yuchi Jiong before the death of Emperor Tianyuan.

Prime Minister Yang was a loyal minister of the Zhou Dynasty and had no arrogance in the slightest. Even the position of regent was forced by people like Zheng Yi and Liu Fang to take it.

"Picture an origin."

Cui Hongdu replied.

Cui Hongsheng was puzzled and asked:

"Isn't the background of Boling's third family not high?"

Cui Hongdu explained:

"If he only wants to be a governor or a county governor, he can naturally rely on the third house of the county to become an official. After more than ten years of hard work, he can be an official and hold his position. But if he wants to hold a high position in the court, as a person who has subjugated his country, he will

You must seek the identity of a minister who is hiding in the residence."

Everyone has the surname Cui, but they have different surnames with Cui. Regardless of Cui You, Cui Zhongfang and his son, or Cui Hongdu and Cui Hongsheng brothers, they were given the surname Yuwen, and they belonged to Guan Longxungui's own people.

And people like Cui Che who have subjugated their country will naturally have an invisible ceiling in the officialdom in the future. If they want to break through it, they must have some special status.

For example, Cui Che's cousin Feng Deyi will become Yang Su's son-in-law in the future, but Cui Che does not dare to place his hopes on finding a good father-in-law. After all, it is useless to just be enthusiastic.

Cui Hongdu sorted out this matter in his mind and couldn't help but be impressed by the vision and courage of this young man of his own race.

Cui Che had a conflict with Yang Guang and fled Chang'an on the third day after Emperor Tianyuan threatened to kill Yang Jian's entire family. This means that he most likely went to seek refuge with the Yang family during the most critical period.

Zheng translated that Liu Fang was afraid of the dangerous front line, but Cui Che went to the Longtan Tiger's Den in Yecheng.

He was both insightful and courageous, and managed the logistics for Yuchi Jiong in an orderly manner, which showed his talent. No wonder Wei Xiaokuan had a special regard for this young man.

The most rare thing is that even when he was captured, he never took the initiative to reveal his identity in order to take credit. It is even more extraordinary to be able to know how to advance and retreat at such a young age.

After all, if he received this merit, let alone what Yang Jian thought, what did Zheng Yi and Liu Fang think?

Good guy, the two of us are afraid of danger and don't even want to go to the front line. You dare to go undercover in Yecheng at a young age, and you even tell the public that you are noble! You are amazing!

In fact, there is another point that Cui Hongdu has not considered. Part of the reason why Cui Che was forced by Cui Lu and refused to disclose his identity was because he was worried that the other party would be evil and fearful of his own revenge afterwards, so he would kill him if he did not do anything wrong.

.

Of course, Cui Che was wronged. He had done so many things for Yang Jian, but he could not be publicly commended. Yang Jian had to be given a chance to show his broad mind and cherish his talents.

But Cui Che also knew that if he suffered injustice for Yang Jian today, he would gain greater rewards in the future.

Yang Jian must remember this love no matter what.

Yang Jian had many problems, but before his old age, he was still a person who missed love. Otherwise, how could he be exempted from Sima Xiaonan's death penalty in the future? It had only been more than 20 days since he was assigned to a happy household, and he still missed his old love.

pardon.

Cui Che knew clearly that in order to break the identity barrier of the Guandong people, there were only two windows in the Sui Dynasty. One was when Yang Jian seized power, which happened now.

The other is Yang Guang's attempt to seize the throne, and he has to wait twenty years to succeed.

Cui Che couldn't wait twenty years. If he missed Yang Jian's seizure of power, as a Guandong native, he wouldn't have much chance in the future battle against Chen.

During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, there was a unique term called Guanzhong Base. Especially in the Sui Dynasty, Yang Jian rebelled against Yu Chi, and various parts of Hebei responded. Since then, they have been on guard against Guandong.

Even if Cui Che deliberately made friends with Yang Guang, it would be difficult for him to be of great use in the battle against Chen.

As we all know, Yang Guang was only the nominal commander-in-chief in the battle against Chen. After all, no minister with a foreign surname could take the credit for destroying the country. Wei Xiaokuan was afraid that he would not be rewarded.

Therefore, Cui Che had to seize the opportunity of Yang Jian to seize power, but he was only an eleven-year-old boy. Why should Yang Jian accept him as a potential minister to help him break the identity barrier?

Cui Che had to prove his worth, so he came to Yecheng and his party.

After answering his brother's doubts, Cui Hongdu said earnestly:

"You can spend more time with him in the future. This person is absolutely extraordinary."

At a young age, he has courage, knowledge, and talent, and he has climbed to the top and become a minister of the Qiandi. Breaking the identity barrier, the future is bright.

While the Cui brothers were talking about Cui Che, Wei Xiaokuan also asked Cui Che his doubts:

"Why are you so eager to make progress?"

Cui Che faced Wei Xiaokuan's scrutinizing gaze and said calmly:

"The elder had a question, but he didn't dare to hide it. The day before I fled Chang'an, someone asked me this question, and I told him something.

"Four years ago, Che heard from his friend Dou Wei that Duke Shenwu was going to shoot a screen to recruit a son-in-law. Yang Xuangan, the son of Duke Qinghe, invited me to go with him. In order to find a lady, Che worked hard at home to practice his shooting skills.

"However, on the day of the wedding, Xuangan told him that only the prince's children were allowed to come to take the exam. Che felt humiliated, so he worked hard and studied hard day and night, hoping to gain fame and no longer be despised by others."

Wei Xiaokuan understood clearly after hearing this. Perhaps it is because when people get older, they like to support those who are behind and have no one around them. Wei Xiaokuan encouraged:

"You will not waste this life in vain, you must make a difference!"

"Wei Gong's wishes will be kept in mind by Che."

Cui Che saluted solemnly.

After that, he made a request to Wei Xiaokuan, that he should be allowed to return home tonight to deal with the slaves who betrayed their master.

Wei Xiaokuan admits everything, he can sell a favor with just a little effort, so why not do it.

I am very old, and Cui Che is too young, so I cannot expect him to repay today's favor, but Wei Xiaokuan still has descendants, so who can say for sure what will happen in the future.

Facing such a talented and beautiful young man, why should he be generous?
