On the occasion of rebirth Zhou Sui

Chapter 570 Cui Che teaches grandson

Yuwen Shiji's letter of surrender had now been delivered to Cui Che.

If it were anyone else, Cui Che might have doubts and think that the other party was cheating.

But he was very clear about the loyalty of Yu Wenhuaji, Yuwen Shiji, Yuwenzhi and the three brothers to Yang Guang.

Cui Che did not have the slightest doubt about Yuwen Shiji's sincerity, and immediately ordered Pei Xiu, his servant, to personally handle the contact with Yuwen Shiji from now on. If there is any news, he will report to him as soon as possible.

After all, Yu Wenshi and the three brothers were extremely loyal to Yang Guang.

Now that Yuwenshi and Yang Jian, the king of Qi, are in charge of Shu, they are his confidants and will surely be able to pass on a lot of valuable information.

As for the upper management of the Observation Department, they have gone through a major reshuffle. Zhao Wen and Zhao Mu, who were previously in charge of the internal and external offices, resigned one after another.

Zhao Wen went to Longyou Road and served as an inspector. Zhao Mu, because of his old age, wrote to Cui Che to beg for his body.

Zhao Mu is indeed very old now. He once served as the governor of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and the Northern Qi Dynasty has been destroyed for more than thirty years.

Including Zhao Mu, Fang Yanqian, Wang Dangwan, Dong Jing, Qin Ai, Cheng Lou and others, many old officials of the Northern Qi Dynasty were already in their sixties and approaching the age of seventy.

Some of them are old and frail, while others miss their homeland.

After the founding of the Yan Kingdom, many people asked Cui Che to become a scholar.

After all, they have witnessed the founding of the Yan Kingdom, and the Guandong nobles no longer need to be oppressed by the nobles of Guan Long. For these old officials of the Northern Qi Dynasty, the great ambitions they set out to follow Cui Che have now been realized, and it is time to take care of themselves.

However, Cui Che refused to let them all go.

For someone like Zhao Mu who was physically overwhelmed, Cui Che rewarded him with property and allowed him to return to his hometown with honor.

But for someone like Wang Dangwan who is physically strong just because he has been in Liaodong for a long time and misses his homeland, Cui Che will personally send a letter to comfort him, hoping that he can continue to guard the border for the country and protect the people.

Wang Dangwan wrote a letter to Jinyang at the end of last year. After receiving Cui Che's reply, Wang Dangwan was both happy and sad.

The good news is that Cui Che still has great trust in him. Between the lines, he can completely feel the Emperor Dayan's reliance on him.

Sadly, for this faith and love, I am afraid that I will have to die of old age in Liaodong, and I can only wait for the coffin to be transported back to my homeland in the Central Plains.

Especially after Cui Yanzong was recalled to the court, Wang Dangwan was granted the title of Governor of Liaodong and paid homage to the Duke. He could only continue to stay in Liaodong, and together with Zhang Wu, the Governor of Youzhou, shocked Kumoxi, Khitan, and Goguryeo.

Since Zhao Mu and Zhao Wen resigned, Cui Che handed over the Observation Department to the servant Pei Xiu, who served as the commander and dispatched two deputy envoys to take charge of the affairs of the inner and outer yamen respectively.

In the Daming Hall, Cui Che had just finished explaining business to Pei Xiu when he saw a little head sticking out of the hall, leaning on the doorpost and looking inside.

Except for King Cui Youzhi of Wei, who else has the courage to blatantly eavesdrop on Cui Che when he meets with ministers.

"You've seen enough, why don't you come in!"

Cui Che said deliberately with a straight face.

Cui Youzhi stuck out his tongue, and the five-year-old child ran in with his short legs.

"The grandson pays homage to the imperial grandfather."

Cui Youzhi first obediently bowed to Cui Che, and after Cui Che asked him to stand up, he then said to Pei Xiu:

"Cousin, I'm here. Badger is very polite."

Pei Xiu waved her hand quickly:

"This veteran is not worthy of the King of Wei's gift."

Cui Che called Cui Youzhi to his side, stroked his little head, and teased Pei Xiu:

"You and I have been dependent on each other since childhood. When we get along in private, we should not be constrained by the etiquette of monarchs and ministers.

"You are Badger's elder, but you refuse to accept his courtesy. Could it be that you don't recognize me as a relative?

"Don't think too highly of yourself, Duke Yu."

After that, the two looked at each other and smiled, as if they were back to the time when they were young and making jokes.

After Pei Xiu left, Cui Che held Cui Youzhi on his lap and asked:

"Why did Badger come to the front hall today?"

Cui Youzhi flattened his mouth and said with an aggrieved look:

"The Imperial Grandfather wants to make the decision for his grandson. The Imperial Grandmother has found several gentlemen for me. He has a full schedule of schoolwork. My grandson is really out of breath. Today I still found an opportunity to secretly come to see the Imperial Grandfather."

Cui Che laughed when he heard this, and then dismissed all the eunuchs and maids serving in the palace. He took off his hanging crown, pointed at it and said:

"This is my crown, and it will also be worn on your head in the future. If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight."

With that said, Cui Che put the crown on Cui Youzhi's head.

Cui Youzhi's head was too small, and the crown covered his eyes.

"Grandfather, this crown is not heavy."

Cui Youzhi didn't understand why the emperor's grandfather emphasized the weight of the crown.

Cui Che took off the crown again and said seriously:

"Isn't it heavy? Grandpa, I wear it very carefully and don't dare to slack off at all.

"Precisely because as long as you wear it, you are shouldering the life and death of billions of people. Don't you think it's not heavy?"

Cui Youzhi nodded thoughtfully:

"It is indeed a great responsibility."

Cui Che's eyes flashed with relief, and he continued:

"If you don't study hard now, you will not be able to match your virtue and talent in the future, and how will you be able to wear this crown.

"Your father and I can't trust you with this inheritance, as well as the lives and deaths of billions of people."

After Cui Youzhi heard this, he immediately jumped off Cui Che's lap. Cui Che said doubtfully:

"What does this mean, Badger?"

Cui Youzhi's immature face said sternly:

"My grandson will remember the teachings of the imperial grandfather, and I will go back to study now.

"My grandson will not let his grandfather down, and he will definitely be able to bear the weight of the crown in the future."

Cui Che felt even more fond of him when he saw his serious expression.

Yang Zhao was praised by Yang Jian for his elderlike manner when he was three years old. His own five-year-old Cui Youzhi was as smart as he could give in.

After experiencing Cui Che's encouragement to study, Cui Youzhi also had a new understanding of the heavy schoolwork. He usually stayed in the palace and studied with the gentlemen.

But Cui Che obviously also knew how to balance work and rest. Occasionally, he would take Cui Youzhi out of the palace to play on the pretext of observing the sufferings of the people.

Since Cui Youzhi was born, before he was even one month old, he was brought to Jinyang and grew up in the high-walled courtyard of Prince Yan's Palace and Daming Palace.

Without personal experience and personal experience, even if Cui Che broke up with him, Cui Youzhi would not be able to understand the various situations in the world.

After all, it is impossible to see the real suffering of the people in Jinyang City.

Cui Che is also preparing to tour Hebei.

That is my own land of Longxing, but since I took over Jinyang, I have never been back to Hebei. It's time to go back and have a look.

I just happened to take Cui Youzhi around and let him see the world outside Jinyang.

I know how hard the poor people work to live.

Of course, the premise for all this is that Cui Qiji returns to Beijing and he oversees the country as the crown prince, so that Cui Che can go on tour with peace of mind.
