Chapter 53: Remembering Joining the Army

The palace guards did not keep the ministers and ministers waiting for too long. When the door opened, the carriage accompanying the Duke's palace was also heavily guarded and arrived at the right time.

Since taking the position, Yang Jian has been assassinated frequently. Thanks to Li Yuantong, who was not afraid of life and death, he was able to protect Yang Jian from danger many times. Therefore, when Yang Jian travels, he will inevitably be accompanied by bodyguards.

If among the staff of the prime minister's office, Zheng Yi and Liu Fang need to keep a distance, and Gao Jiong does not need special treatment, then Li Yuantong is the one who can be friends.

Although Li Yuantong was said to have the blood of the Longxi Li family, his father Li Jing refused to recognize him no matter what, and regarded him as a stain in his life, so he could not be regarded as the origin of the Longxi Li family.

But even though he was born in a lowly position, due to his performance as a protector of the Lord several times, he was awarded the title of Foreign Soldier Cao to the Prime Minister, in charge of the government orders and military affairs of the military in various places outside the capital. He also served as a confidant on the left and was responsible for commanding the guards of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Today, as usual, Li Yuantong came to escort Yang Jian.

Yang Jian got out of the carriage and looked around. He still didn't see Zheng Yi or Liu Fang. He was unhappy, but he didn't show it.

With a gentle smile, Yang Jian accepted the greetings from everyone and greeted his staff one by one.

When passing Cui Che, Yang Jian suddenly asked:

"Does Cui Lang have a cousin name?"

Cui Che knew in his heart that Yang Jian couldn't possibly not know that he didn't have a name for him yet. This question must have meant that he wanted to give him a name, so he immediately bowed and said:

"It doesn't exist yet, please ask the Prime Minister to give me the word."

Yang Jian nodded and said:

"Since you have become an official, you should use the name of your name. Let me think about it for a moment. Well, if you name it with just the word "Che", "Che" means the purity of water. How about using the word "Zicheng"?

Cui Che quickly thanked him.

Yang Jian greeted everyone and stepped into the palace city. A group of subordinates followed him into the palace gate according to their positions.

Cui Che in the crowd was still reciting his name silently:

'Cui Che, Cui Zicheng.'

No matter how I read it, it sounded familiar to me. I suddenly realized that it was the same as Huang Zicheng, who was killed by Zhu Di. This was a bit of a bad luck.

Huang Zicheng, whose name is Shi and whose courtesy name is Zicheng, lives in the world with his characters. Shi is also the Cheng of water.

If Yang Jian hadn't been the one who gave the calligraphy, Brother Che would definitely have to change it again.

After entering the palace city and arriving at the former Zhengyang Palace, now the Prime Minister's Mansion, Cui Che followed the guidance of the palace officials and went to the wing where he worked.

The staff are not officials, but are actually officials. There are scribes in the government for people to drive.

According to Cui Che's record, he joined the army. His official rank was calculated according to the nine-grade system, ranging from seventh to ninth grade. The reason for the difference all depends on the official position of the palace lord.

The head of Brother Che's Mansion is Prime Minister Yang Jian, who is naturally the highest official of the seventh rank. Of course, the Northern Zhou Dynasty implemented the nine-rank system, which is the opposite of the nine-rank system. One life is inferior and nine lives are noble. Therefore, Cui Che is now a third-rank official.

officials.

In fact, these three official ranks are not rare for Cui Che. His grandfather Cui Jishu was posthumously awarded by Emperor Wu of Zhou as the general of Kaifu Yitong with nine orders. If Cui Che was influenced to become an official, this would be roughly the starting point.

But they are also three-term officials, and their status as a staff member of the Prime Minister's Mansion is much more precious.

Although the person who joined the army was in charge of documents, it was not about organizing documents. These trivial matters were replaced by scribes. More importantly, he was responsible for drafting memorials on Yang Jian's behalf.

On the first day of duty, Brother Che was put to the test. Yang Jian called him and dictated twenty-three things. After that, Cui Che was asked to write the text.

Fortunately, Cui Che had a good memory, otherwise he would not have been able to memorize so many poems. He remembered all the twenty-three things mentioned by Yang Jian one by one. As for drafting the memorial, Cui Che had already seen the corresponding format before, and it was even more difficult for him. he.

With a flourish of ink and brush, Cui Che wrote carefully, and finished the twenty-three memorials in one go. He stopped writing, rubbed his sore wrist in no hurry, and presented the memorials to Yang Jian.

After Yang Jian saw it, he was very satisfied.

There are no errors or omissions in the twenty-three things written by Cui Che, and the order is clear. Although the wording and sentences are not as good as the previous "Pingchen Ce", it is also clear that "Pingchen Ce" is the product of hard thinking and meditation, and these memorials were just hastily written. .

What's more, memorials are different from essays, which focus more on clear organization, and the requirements for literary talent are not that high.

Yang Jian praised Cui Che greatly, and Cui Che secured his position as a reporter and joined the army.

Among the twenty-three things, one is about Cui Che's cousin Cui Dana.

Since Yang Jian promised Cui Che to exempt Cui Da from the death penalty, he would naturally not break his promise.

It's just that this excuse to avoid death is really humiliating. Frankly speaking, Cui Dana was named a long history, but he had no talent. He delegated everything to others, and his body was just a simple meal. It is useless to kill such a person, but to leave him harmless.

It was suggested to the young emperor that he should be exempted from the death penalty, but in order to warn the world, he had to go to the border. Even if he was amnesty, he could not return.

Of course, suggestions are suggestions, but it doesn't matter whether the young emperor agrees, because the emperor's seal is on Yang Jian's long case, which was snatched from Yan Zhiyi.

Yang Jian stamped the seals one by one and ordered the scribes to distribute them to various government offices. Cui Che also resigned and left.

After experiencing this incident, Brother Che was free from his duties on the first day. Except for the occasional call from Yang Jian to ghostwrite, Brother Che had plenty of time to read through previous documents.

After Yang Jian came to power, in addition to quelling the rebellion, the most common complaint sent to the courtiers was to petition to stop the construction of the Luoyang New Palace.

Today's Chang'an belongs to the Chang'an City of the Han Dynasty. It is dilapidated and small, making it difficult for it to be the capital of a big country.

After the Northern Zhou Dynasty destroyed the Qi Dynasty, Luoyang was used as the capital city. Emperor Xuan of the Zhou Dynasty, the Tianyuan Emperor Yuwen Yun, issued an order to build a palace city in Luoyang, which was the plan to move the capital.

Such a move would naturally infringe on the interests of Guanlong nobles. If Guandong was established as the capital, they would be far away from the political center.

Therefore, even when Yu Wenyun was still alive, petitions to stop the construction of Luoyang continued.

As soon as Yuwen Yun died, Yang Jian took power and immediately ordered a halt to the construction of Luoyang. This decree was also one of the reasons why he was able to win the support of Guanlong nobles.

Cui Che flipped through a past memorial, not just about Luoyang, Tokyo.

Through these memorials, I also deepened my understanding of this country, and even gained a general understanding of many officials.

Of course, this kind of understanding is one-sided and unreliable. To really understand a person, you have to be in contact with him for a long time.

While Cui Che was busy in the Prime Minister's Palace, the chief officer of the Criminal Department of the Qiu Palace also received instructions and ordered Cui Dara to be taken out of prison.

When he learned that he was exempted from the death penalty, Cui Dana was still confused until the jailer informed him of the latest news. Cui Che was appreciated by Yang Jian and recruited as an aide.

Only then did Cui Dana realize that it must be his cousin interceding for him.

"Don't delay, let's set off early."

He wanted to express his gratitude to Cui Che in person, but the person who was ordered to escort him urged him.

Cui Dana turned back and glanced in the direction of Miyagi City, all his words of thanks remained in his heart.

Rest, rest, continue to ask for favorites and recommendation votes.
