Chapter 58 Frustrated Man

"This poem is so well written."

Yang Lihua praised.

But when I put down the paper, my face was calm and there was no smile.

She said with a little regret:

"But it wasn't written about me."

Yang Guang brought this poem before and said that he asked Cui Che to write it specially for his sister. However, after reading it, Yang Lihua was disappointed.

"Who else is worthy of this poem except my sister?"

Yang Lihua shook her head and said:

"He has never seen me. I'm afraid every word in this poem is about the beauty of Yuchi."

Yang Guang understood immediately and started talking nonsense:

"Before Cui Che started writing, he asked me about my sister's appearance. He listened to my detailed description and that's how he came up with this poem. It has nothing to do with the Yuchi family."

After hearing this, Yang Lihua solemnly put away the poem manuscript on the case.

After Yang Guang left, Yang Lihua held up a bronze mirror and looked around.

Although she is the Queen Mother, she is only twenty years old after all. No matter how gentle and quiet she is, she still has a heart for beauty.

Putting down the bronze mirror, she read the poetry on the paper again.

"Clouds think of clothes, flowers think of faces. Poems are good, and words are also good."

"Mom, I'm back!"

Yuwen Eying's shouts sounded outside the house. Yang Lihua carefully stored the poem in her dressing box, then turned around and embraced her six-year-old daughter.

Yang Guang visited the Prime Minister's Mansion again, said goodbye to Yang Jian, and said hello to Cui Che. He emphasized that even if Cui Che complied with his request and wrote a song "Qing Ping Tiao" to repay the favor, the wine tomorrow would still have to go to Brother Che.

Please.

After seeing Yang Guang off, Cui Che continued to bury himself in the recording room, reading through past memorials.

When he joined the army as a clerk, his most important duty was to draft memorials for Yang Jian, and other miscellaneous matters were done by his own scribes. Without being summoned by Yang Jian, he was really free.

But it is also the position that is most suitable for brother Che. Now Cui Che is receiving the reward for pacifying the Yuchi Jung Rebellion.

Of course his name is not on it.

Almost all the marching commanders who participated in the counter-rebellion were awarded the title of Duke. This was the title that Brother Che cherished so much. When the daughter of the Dou family chose a son-in-law, the requirement that only a son of a Duke could participate in the election was an eternal pain in his heart.

But there was also an unlucky man who lost the title of Duke of the Kingdom, namely Cui Che's kinsman, Yuwen Hongdo, also known as Cui Hongdo.

Although Cui Hongdu got Yuchijiong's head and was promoted to Shangzhu Kingdom, because he failed to kill Yuchijiong in time, he cursed Yang Jian, so he was demoted to the rank of Duke of Wuxiang.

It's just that Cui Che saw all the generals and generals in the reward documents, but he didn't see the name of Marching Marshal Wei Xiaokuan.

Regarding Wei Xiaokuan's reward, the prime minister's office is still in the discussion stage, but in the end, what will be implemented is probably just an increase in food.

"It is difficult to reward Gao Qiong for sharing the credit. If Wei Xiaokuan takes all the credit, I am afraid it will be a fatal disaster."

Cui Che thought to himself.

Wei Xiaokuan has done so many meritorious deeds, such as guarding the jade, rumored to kill Hu Luguang, annexing Huainan, etc., that he can hardly be awarded an official title. Now that he has added one more to defeat Yuchi Jiong, this is the real merit that is hard to reward.

After Cui Che was released from prison, he also wanted to pay his respects. After all, Wei Xiaokuan had secretly taken good care of him in Yecheng and on the way westward.

It's just that since the army returned to Beijing, Wei Xiaokuan has always closed the door to thank guests. This wise way of protecting himself has to impress people with his wisdom.

Cui Che also knew that no matter how long Wei Xiaokuan lived, his achievements would only end here. Yang Jian would never have used him again unless the country was in danger.

Perhaps it is really difficult to take command in a critical moment. Talents come out from generation to generation, and there are always new ones to replace the old ones.

Gao Jiong's performance in countering the rebellion proved that he was worthy of the task.

After drafting a few more memorials for Yang Jian, Cui Che was no longer disturbed and could read the memorials of court officials and local officials to his heart's content. It was time for his next shift.

In today's Prime Minister's Mansion, there is no longer a messy duo who arrive late and leave early.

After Zheng Yi confessed yesterday, he changed his mind. Today he answered the call at dawn on time and left at dusk at midnight.

As for Liu Fang, earlier today, Yang Jian ordered Cui Che to draft the text on his behalf, removing Liu Fang from the post of Prime Minister Bo.

Although Liu Fang worshiped Huang Guogong for his role in formulating the strategy, he now ended up unemployed. Cui Che reminded himself that he must take this as a warning and never rely on his achievements to be arrogant.

In fact, Liu Fang was not the only one who was disappointed. Cui Che also drafted an edict for Yang Jian today, summoning Liang Shiyan, the governor of Xiangzhou, to return to the capital.

Liang Shiyan was also one of the marching commanders under Wei Xiaokuan. In the final battle of Yebeicheng, he successively broke through the North Gate and the West Gate and made great achievements. After the war, he was worshiped as the Governor of Xiangzhou.

Yang Jian had his own reasons for recalling him, which Cui Che knew well. When he was looking through the documents, he found that there was a secret to impeach Liang Shiyan for accepting gold and silver from Yuchi Jiong during the stalemate between the two armies.

I'm afraid Yang Jian has been secretly investigating the authenticity of this matter during this period, and he didn't confirm it until last night or today.

It is foreseeable that after Liang Shiyan returns to Beijing, he will inevitably end up unemployed like Liu Fang.

After Cui Che came off duty, he visited Dou Wei and Yang Xuangan one after another and told them about Yang Guang's invitation tomorrow.

The two agreed readily. They had some friendship with Yang Guang. After all, they were both members of the elite circle in Chang'an, and Yang Jian had only been in power for less than half a year.

Although Yang Xuangan and Dou Wei had previously approached Yang Guang to intercede for Cui Che, but Yang Guang had not given him face, but now that Yang Guang invites them, they must give him the face.

The two of them were not surprised that Yang Guang and Cui Che turned enemies into friends. Yang Jian's regard for Cui Che was visible to the naked eye, and Yang Guang must have let go of his resentment after listening to his father's instructions.

In the winter in Chang'an, night fell early. Cui Che visited two close friends one after another and had already lit up lanterns when he returned home.

"I thought you went out to drink again today."

Yuchi Chifan poked his head out of the door, saw Cui Che coming with a lantern, and said with a smile.

"I have nothing to do tonight, but I have an appointment with a friend tomorrow and I'm going to have a drink in the afternoon."

Cui Che handed the lantern to Yuchi Chifan and tied the front door himself.

Yuchi Chifan did not ask for his name, but emphasized:

"I won't see you until my hair grows out."

Cui Che rolled his eyes and said with a smile:

"No! No! Tonight you take off your headscarf, and I'm still there."

"Don't even think about it!"

Yuchi Chifan made a face, covered his headscarf and ran away.

Cui Che chased after him and shouted:

"I only watch, not do anything."

This made Yuchi Chifan feel even more ashamed and said angrily:

"If I had known better, I shouldn't have indulged you last night. You won't be able to bully me again by being drunk tomorrow!"

At the same time, in distant Wenxi County, Pei Xiu was still waiting hard for news from Chang'an.

In fact, Pei Xiu is now eighteen years old and has not been recruited into an official position for a long time. Speaking of which, he is still affected by Cui Che.

After all, the local state and county officials do not know the news about Chang'an for the time being, and based on Pei Xiu's relationship with Cui Che, they dare not rule out the possibility that he may be implicated.

Thanks to book friend Jin Taiyi's Guo Da, the eighteen-year-old uncle, the front army of the imperial guard, the Jiedushi of Jiannan East Road, Han Feizhuang Zhou, the great Qin magic stick, book friend 20180316001113494, draw a match and light the rocket, no trace

Thanks for the reward, and thank you all for voting.
