On the occasion of rebirth Zhou Sui

Chapter 459 Fish from Fenshui

Xiangzhou, the outskirts of Yecheng.

On a rare day off, Cui Yanqing was furious with his horse and dressed in fresh clothes. He called his slaves and maids, and took his concubine, whom he had just married some time ago, to play on the banks of the Zhang River.

You are the second son of King Cui Che of Yan, and Cui Yanqing, the governor of Xiangzhou, has no other skills, but he is very much like his father in his lustful habits.

Cui Yanqing, who was only sixteen years old, never stopped taking concubines after Cui Che decided to marry the daughter of Shi Liufang, the Chinese and Foreign Minister.

Over the past year, Cui Yanqing has already brought in more than a dozen side chambers.

Of course, Cui Che had heard about this matter, but the upper beam was not straight and the lower beam was crooked. He himself did not have the face to reprimand Cui Yanqing for this matter.

Besides, it would be too lenient for a father to control his son's concubinage.

As long as Cui Yanqing didn't rob other people's wives and daughters against their will, Cui Che would ignore it.

Fortunately, although Cui Yanqing is lecherous, he also loves fame, otherwise he would not be able to do the stupid thing of interceding with Cui Che for a corrupt official in the name of mercy.

Of course, in the eyes of Cui Yanqing's cronies, this is not a stupid thing.

Who could have expected that the powerful officials of the Eastern Sui Dynasty would really care about those women who were living in brothels and forced into prostitution.

It is not just an excuse to fill the national treasury.

Cui Yanqing was playing happily with his concubine, when a servant from Duke Boling's mansion came running in a hurry.

It turned out that Mai Mengcai had arrived in Yecheng and was waiting for him at his mansion.

'My brother-in-law is not on duty in Jinyang, so why did he suddenly come to Yecheng?'

Cui Yanqing was full of doubts, but since it was Mai Mengcai who came here specially, he must have been sent by his father. He did not dare to neglect, and quickly took his beautiful concubine and followed him back to the city.

Returning to Duke Boling's Mansion, he walked to the main hall, where his wife Liu was waiting for guests. When Liu saw Cui Yanqing, she snorted and said goodbye to Mai Mengcai.

Less than a year after getting married, Cui Yanqing has taken in so many concubines, which official wife would not complain about this.

Cui Yanqing ignored his wife who left. He walked towards Mai Mengcai with a big smile:

"My brother-in-law came from afar, but my father has an order?"

Mai Mengcai nodded slightly and said:

"The king has summoned you to go to Jinyang quickly."

Cui Che asked Mai Mengcai to kidnap Cui Yanqing to Jinyang, but how could Mai Mengcai actually let Cui Yanqing sit in the prison car.

Don't let the father and son talk to each other and resolve their grievances. Instead, he would end up being a different person inside and out.

When Cui Yanqing heard that his father had asked him to go to Jinyang, he didn't think much about it, so he informed his family members to pack their bags and prepare to set off immediately with Mai Mengcai.

However, to his surprise, Mai Mengcai shook his head and said:

"The king asked me to take over as the governor of Xiangzhou, and I will not go back."

Cui Yanqing was stunned. Although he was young, he also knew the significance of Xiangzhou to Hebei. Why did he suddenly replace himself? Cui Yanqing immediately asked Mai Mengcai what happened.

Mai Mengcai sighed:

"You! Shangshu interceded for the prisoner, which made the king furious.

"When I left Jinyang, I asked your sister to notify the princess, and I deliberately walked slowly, waiting for the princess to convince the king to call me back.

"I didn't know that your sister sent people to chase you. Only then did I know that even the princess was reprimanded for your matter.

"Stop talking, pack up your gifts quickly and take your family back to Jinyang."

Cui Yanqing was stunned. He knew the feelings between his parents.

Since Cui Che and Yang Lihua have been married for twenty-four years, Cui Che has not even said a harsh word, let alone scolding Yang Lihua.

Now that even his mother and concubine have been reprimanded, Cui Yanqing can imagine how angry his father is.

His legs were shaking unconsciously, and he quickly grabbed Mai Mengcai's sleeve and begged:

"Brother-in-law, please help me. My father is a man who is very frightening when he is not angry."

Mai Mengcai looked at this miserable brother-in-law and felt helpless, so he could only warn:

"No matter what the king says, you can't argue. Just plead guilty."

Cui Yanqing quickly nodded in agreement.

Mai Mengcai did not stay long. He had to go to the Governor's Office of Xiangzhou to familiarize himself with government affairs.

Walking out of Duke Boling's Mansion, Mai Mengcai couldn't help but sigh. Compared with Cui Yanqing and Cui Qiji, who were both born to the same mother, Cui Yanqing was really much worse.

Fortunately, the two brothers were not born in the wrong order, otherwise there would have been big trouble.

Seizing the title of direct descendant is not what the Mai family wants, as Cui Che Yuancong.

They hope that the second generation of the Cui family can have a smooth handover, rather than repeat the mistakes of the Yang family.

After all, after Yang Yong was deposed, many powerful people were implicated.

Cui Yanqing hurriedly packed his luggage, but he still didn't see his wives and concubines joining him. He returned to the backyard and saw them arranging jewelry in a hurry. This made Cui Yanqing furious and cursed:

"My father doesn't like luxury. He is very angry right now. You are all dressed up in jewels because you are hoping that I will be beaten to death by my father!"

Seeing Cui Yanqing's appearance, even his wife Liu, who was at odds with him, was frightened and hurriedly grabbed a few pieces of clothes that were not gorgeous and went out.

Not to mention the rest of the concubines, they were all very frightened. Not to mention jewelry, they didn't even dare to take a box of rouge and gouache to Jinyang.

Cui Yanqing was terrified along the way. Of course he knew that his father would not kill him for such a trivial matter.

It's just that Cui Yanqing has a little thought about the position of the crown prince in his heart. If he makes his father hate him because of this, it will be worse than letting him die.

Back then, Cui Yanqing had helplessly seen what happened to his uncle Yang Yong, his third uncle Yang Jun, and his fourth uncle Yang Xiu after they were rejected by his grandfather Yang Jian.

The carriages and horses came to the east of the river through the well path, went north along the Fen River, and stayed at the edge of the Fen River at night.

Some guards were catching fish in the river, and the fish they caught were fat. However, the leader of the guards was shocked and asked them to release the fish.

Cui Yanqing didn't understand why he was not allowed to eat the good river fish, so he asked the guard commander.

The commander of the guards replied:

"Previously, Governor Mai came to Yecheng, and someone under his command was from the same hometown as me, so he talked about the incident in Jinyang.

"Ever since the king thoroughly investigated the filthiness of the temple, women often couldn't bear the humiliation and threw water into the Fen River.

"The fish in the Fen River are so fat now that they might have eaten the corpses."

The words made everyone feel sour in their stomachs, and the beautiful concubine huddled in Cui Yanqing's arms, looking really frightened.

Cui Yanqing also turned pale. After all, he was only a sixteen-year-old boy.

But he didn't want to show his timidity in front of his concubine. He bit the bullet and pretended to be dismissive and said:

"You are talking nonsense. How could you ignore someone who threw himself into the water? Someone will definitely salvage the body.

"However, my father had said a few years ago that temples are a place of filth and evil, and mothers, concubines, and aunts are not allowed to go there to worship Buddha and burn incense.

"I never thought that there are actually women having sex with monks in temples. Those lewd monks should be killed."
