On the occasion of rebirth Zhou Sui

Chapter 580 Regardless of the Western Regions

On June 17, the first year of Kaiping (AD 609), Cui Qiji, the crown prince of Dayan, finally ended his life as a shepherd and returned to Jinyang.

Cui Qiji was not surprised that during his absence, there was a new Lady of Tianzhu and a nominal sister in the harem, Princess Yin Yue'e of Huayin.

Father Cui Che is good at everything, but he can't change his lustful habit no matter what.

In his early years, he fell in love with the older widow, and now he falls in love with the woman with children.

As soon as he returned to Jinyang, Cui Qiji was called over by Cui Che. Cui Che did not ask him how he felt about shepherding, but talked about business.

"I want to split the Xuzhou Navy into two and send one to Luzhou to familiarize themselves with the hydrology of the Han River. What do you think, Prince?"

Cui Qiji asked:

"Father, do you want to take the land of Jingxiang first?"

Cui Che nodded and said:

"However, if we capture Jingxiang, we can cut off the connection between Bashu and Jiangnan. With the help of scholars and scholars, it will be as easy as turning the tables on Bashu."

Yu Wenshiji was highly regarded by Yang Jian, the general manager of Yizhou, and was appointed as a reporter to join the army and take charge of secrets. With him as an internal response, the Shu region can now be said to be unilaterally transparent to Cui Che.

Cui Qiji said doubtfully:

"Since father has made a decision, why bother asking the child."

Cui Che said seriously:

"The Xuzhou Navy is the prince's hard work. Now that I want to split them up, I should ask the prince's opinion."

Cui Qiji was deeply moved by the respect shown in his words.

After the father and son discussed dividing the Xuzhou Navy into two, Cui Che discussed the Western Turks' request for help with Cui Qiji.

Cui Qiji objected:

"Father, I thought that we should never send troops to the Western Regions."

Cui Che frowned and said:

"Why? Don't you know that recovering the Western Regions is an achievement that will shine through the annals of history and be boasted to future generations?"

Cui Qiji explained:

"I just heard what my father said, that the Luo Khan of the Western Turks was cruel and unjust, and had greatly lost people's hearts, causing the offensive and defensive positions to change.

"But the Western Turks will certainly not be able to digest the Tiele tribe that has defected to them in a short period of time.

"Haier believes that it will be difficult to determine the winner between the two in the short term. If we want to capture the Western Region, we will have many opportunities in the future.

"Besides, what my father needs to do now is to accumulate strength and conquer the south in the future to unify the world.

"If we travel thousands of miles to rush to the Western Regions, even if we defeat the Western Turks, it will be a waste of money and an empty national treasury.

"Which one is more serious, please think twice."

Cui Qiji spoke sincerely, Cui Che held his hands and laughed:

"What my son said is exactly what I want."

After Cui Qiji left, Cui Che finally summoned the Western Turkic envoy who had been left alone for several days.

In the Daming Palace, Cui Che only conferred the title of Chuluo Khan and avoided the idea of ​​sending troops to rescue him.

The Western Turkic envoy had no choice but to return in frustration with the propaganda and flags given by Cui Che.

Later, Cui Che met with the meritorious soldiers who had just arrived in Jinyang, including Xue Ju, Xue Rengao and his son.

Considering Xue Ju's influence in Longyou, Cui Che did not send his father and son back to Lanzhou, but stayed in Jinyang to serve as generals.

This is exactly what the Xue family and his son expected.

Cui Che sent General Gao Xianya as the governor of Shazhou and asked Mai Tiezhang to return to Tianshui to continue to be his governor of Qinzhou and guard Longyou.

At the same time, the deputy supervisor of Shuozhou Palace sent someone to report that the palace had been completed.

Cui Che sent Minister Zuocheng Du Ruhui to inspect and accept it.

The Luoyang Palace in the south was also under construction. Wei Zheng had experience in supervising the construction of Shuozhou Palace. It was not difficult for him to build the Luoyang Palace, and everything was arranged in an orderly manner.

After a day of dealing with government affairs, it was already dusk and the sky was gloomy.

Cui Che stretched out and said to the serving female officer:

"Let's go to Jinyang Palace."

After Cui Che founded the country, he moved to the Daming Palace, and all government offices also moved to the vicinity of the Daming Palace.

Today's Jinyang Palace has become a retirement home for concubines and concubines of the former dynasty.

Cui Che usually comes less often, mainly to visit Doulu.

Doulu did not leave Jinyang with Yang Hao, but lived in the former Queen Mother's palace.

Cui Che came to the familiar palace, opened the door and walked in. Mrs. Doulu's eyes were full of surprise.

"Your Majesty has not been here for a long time, and I feel that I have fallen out of favor with the emperor."

Mrs. Doulu wished she could hang her whole body on Cui Che.

Cui Che confessed:

"The state affairs are busy, otherwise how could the ministers forget to come and pay homage to the Queen Mother."

Doulu said angrily:

"Your Majesty is making fun of me again. I am not the Queen Mother, but just His Majesty's unnamed concubine."

Cui Che held Doulu in his arms and said:

"If the Queen Mother wants a status, it will not be easy. Tomorrow, the minister will have someone welcome the Queen Mother into the Daming Palace and make her his wife."

Douluo shook his head quickly:

"I'm just talking. If you can't tear open this layer of window paper, just keep it."

Saying that, Doulu asked:

"I heard that the king has a new lady from Tianzhu. She has an exotic appearance. I don't know what she looks like."

Cui Che smiled and said:

"If the Queen Mother wants to see her, I will immediately order someone to fetch her."

Douluo spat:

"I don't even know what His Majesty is thinking, but I know he is a corrupt person who changes the law."

With that said, he stood up and left Cui Che's arms, gently undressing Luo Shang. It was obviously midsummer and the room was full of spring.

Besides Jiangdu, Yangzhou can be said to be Yang Guang's hometown. He has been here for many years. He even gave up Guanlong in order to return to Yangzhou.

But as Cui Che unified the north, over time, Jiangdu, located north of the Yangtze River, could no longer give Yang Guang the sense of security he had originally had.

Soon, a fire broke out unexpectedly in the palace at night, and the palace people shouted. Yang Guang was frightened, thinking that it was Cui Che who came to kill him.

He hurriedly fled into the haystacks and did not return to his palace until the fire was extinguished.

But from then on, Yang Guang had trouble sleeping every night and often woke up with fright. Several women had to coax him like a baby before he could fall asleep.

After half a month of this kind of life, Yang Guang couldn't bear it anymore, and finally decided to build a prosperous society and move the capital to the south bank of the Yangtze River in the future. With the natural dangers of the Yangtze River, Cui Che would not be able to cross the river.

But this is destined to be a big project.

Cui Che's camp in Luoyang was built on the basis of the original palace in Luoyang.

But at this time, Jiankang was created from scratch and required high-rise buildings to be built from the ground up.

Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Jian, had always had the habit of destroying famous cities. Just like when he put down the rebellion of Yuchijiong, he immediately set fire to the city of Ye and burned it to the ground.

After the fall of Nanchen, the capital Jiankang was also burned down under Yang Jian's order and did not survive the disaster.

The person responsible for building Kang was still Yu Wenkai. Yang Guang was very satisfied with the Daxing and Jiangdu he designed. If the north was not occupied by Cui Che, Yu Wenkai would definitely be in charge of Yang Guang's camp in Luoyang.

For this reason, Yang Guang recruited 200,000 civilians in the south of the Yangtze River to participate in the construction of Jiankang Palace. He did not have Cui Che's patience.

There will be a small time jump in the next chapter, because during this time period, there is really only some daily life to write about. If I write too much, I will feel uncomfortable, and everyone will also feel uncomfortable.

There is no more today, I will choose the entry point first.
