Chapter 60: Filial Sons and Honorable Grandsons

The winter solstice is a day for family reunions. Even the Queen Mother Yang Lihua went out of the city with the young emperor to pay homage to the Queen of Heaven. With the consent of the young emperor, she took Princess Yuwen Eying back to her parents' home to visit relatives.

Only the eldest son, Yang Yong, was out of town in Luoyang, so it was difficult to get together, but he sent someone back to Beijing in advance and found the time to send greetings today.

Yang Guang said goodbye to Cui Che and returned home. Yuwen Eying threw herself into his arms, shouting that she wanted to avenge her second uncle and go to trouble Cui Che.

It turned out that she was still thinking about her second uncle being beaten.

Yang Guang stroked his niece's head, his eyes full of love, and patiently explained his relationship with Cui Che to her.

On the side, the six-year-old fifth brother Yang Liang fell down while chasing and playing with his eight-year-old fourth brother Yang Xiu. Yang Guang quickly picked him up and dusted the fifth brother's body.

He also saw that Yang Liang's arm was bruised and bleeding. After asking his parents for instructions, Yang Guang took Yang Liang's hand to treat the wound.

While walking, he also asked Yang Liang to be careful in the future and not to bump into him again. He didn't talk like a thirteen-year-old boy, but his concern for his younger brother was beyond words.

All this naturally fell into the eyes of Yang Jian and Dugu Jialuo.

Before Yang Guang and Cui Che parted ways, Cui Che had given each other sixteen words, namely, 'Be filial to your parents, be friendly to your brothers; do not accept concubines, and do not desire luxury.'

Every word embodies Yang Guang's thoughts, and he decides to stick to it.

Not to mention the affairs of the Yang family, Cui Che returned to the house and found that Yuchi Chifan was secretly worshiping his father and ancestors.

At first, I thought it was Yuchi Chifan's own cooking, but after looking at the lunch box, I realized that it was Yang Xuangan's maid who had brought the food.

Cui Che walked over, knelt down and asked Yuchi Chifan:

"Young Master Yuchi, don't you mind sharing a table with someone else?"

Yuchi Chifan didn't understand what sharing a table meant, but Cui Che was already burning paper money there and said to himself:

"Mr. Yuchi, if you don't want to sit at the table with my father and ancestors, just say something."

After saying that, he turned back to Yuchi Chifan and smiled:

"You see, Grandpa You acquiesced."

Immediately, Cui Che ignored Yuchi Chifan's surprised expression, got up and ran to the ancestral hall, carrying over the memorial tablets of Cui Jishu, Cui Changjun, Cui Jingxuan and other relatives, and murmuring:

"Don't blame me, grandson, for asking you to eat with others. There are still people in this world who are hungry. It's good to have a stutter these days. Let's make do with it for now. There are no slaves in the house. It's too much.

Please, wait until the first day, and I will prepare a table of food and wine for you. Just ask Mr. Yuchi to come back."

Cui Che had planned the itinerary. During the New Year, Pei Xiu and others would also come to Chang'an. Without him having to do it himself, he would naturally have to offer big fish and meat to Cui Jishu.

Yuchi Chifan was shocked that Cui Che was just afraid of trouble, so he fooled the ancestor worship.

But when she thought about this kind of person, she took care of him in every way when she first arrived, and her heart felt warm.

After the winter solstice holiday, Cui Che returned to duty at the Prime Minister's Mansion. He heard the news of Wei Xiaokuan's death on November 23 before he could take a rest five days later.

There is no conspiracy theory about Wei Xiaokuan's death. He was seventy-two years old, so it is normal for him not to have survived the cold winter.

However, Cui Che also heard another theory, which was that after Wei Xiaokuan captured Yebei City, he buried all the rebels in the city alive, which made the world angry and people angry, and his life span was shortened.

Regardless of whether Wei Xiaokuan damaged his moral character or not, he did not survive to receive the reward for quelling the rebellion.

Yang Jian asked Cui Che to draft a document and posthumously presented Wei Xiaokuan to the envoys Chijie, Taifu, Shangzhuguo, Governor Huai, Heng, Li, Xiang, Zhao, Ming, Bei, Cang, Ying, Wei, Hebei and other eleven state military affairs.

Yongzhou Mu.

Wei Xiaokuan took great care of Cui Che and also gave words of encouragement, which are still in my ears.

'You will not waste this life in vain, you must make a difference!'

Yang Jian brought a group of staff from the Prime Minister's Mansion to express condolences, and Cui Che was among them.

Returning to the government office, Yang Jian gave Cui Che a task, which was to write a memorial poem for Wei Xiaokuan and recite it as a farewell ceremony for Wei Xiaokuan.

Wei Xiaokuan's funeral will last for a while, so Cui Che also has time to polish it carefully.

During this time, when he returned to his house, Cui Che was obsessed with thinking over the words and sentences. Fortunately, his hard work paid off, and Brother Che finally came up with a good article and presented it to Yang Jian.

In terms of literary talent, this article is better than "Ping Chen Ce". After Yang Jian read it, he couldn't put it down. In addition to praising it, he even rewarded Cui Che with 300 pieces of silk. It was not an ungenerous gesture. If it were the Northern Qi Dynasty, it would be equivalent to a Xiazhou

One year's salary for the governor.

The Northern Qi Dynasty used cloth and silk as salary, while the Northern Zhou Dynasty distributed corn. The lowest official of the first rank had an annual salary of 125 shi, the official of the second rank 250 shi, the official of the third rank where Cui Che was located had an annual salary of 500 shi, the official of the fourth rank 1,000 shi, and the official of the fifth rank

2,000 shi for officials with six orders, 4,000 shi for officials with 7 orders, 6,000 shi for officials with 7 orders, 7,000 shi for officials with 8 orders, and 10,000 shi for officials with 9 orders.

People like Cui Jishuna and others who are given nine lives posthumously will only receive posthumous honors and will not be able to receive thousands of stones of corn.

300 pieces of cloth were transported to Cui Mansion that night. Brother Che looked at the cloth covering half of the room with a bright smile on his face.

The previous recruitment of 3,000 Buqu, in addition to the two land deeds he brought to the residences of Yongtong Wanguo and Boling's hometown, could be said to have wiped out all the family's wealth, and the property left in Chang'an was also missing, which made matters worse.

Cui Che reported the case, but there was no follow-up, and he no longer had any hope of recovering his property.

When Wei Xiaokuan returned to Chang'an, he released Cui Che's three thousand soldiers. After all, they had made a contribution to the city and could be distinguished from ordinary prisoners.

As they were nominally released, Cui Che asked Zhang Wu to take them back to Boling Manor. Most of them were sons of family members and tenants working in the manor. The remaining refugees were also resettled in the manor and reported to the local government.

Register to avoid being considered a hermit.

Fifty thousand acres of land are allocated, and the average per capita is less than 20 acres. These three thousand people are farmers when the farming is busy, and they have to practice with Zhang Wu during the slack farming, and then use the output of the manor to support their food during the training period.

Cui Che naturally can't count on his family to support him, so it's good that he can't reach out to him.

Private military tribes were not a new thing among the nobles in Hebei. Moreover, Cui Che also mentioned to Yang Jian that during the future southern expedition, he hoped to bring his family's military tribes with him in order to gain military merit and be awarded a title. Yang Jian also agreed.

But when the time came, more than a hundred servants and maids came to Chang'an, and all the food and clothing expenses were directed at Brother Che. When all the 100,000 money he had with him was used up, it would be impossible to support such a large family with a salary of only 500 dan.

Cui Che thought in his mind that Mu Xieli's shop should continue to be open, and it could be considered as supplementing the family's income. If she didn't want to be exposed anymore, she could find a clever maid in the house to be the shopkeeper. As for the goods, she would just sell rouge.

Following the death of Emperor Tianyuan, the particularly inhumane edict, which forbade private women, including officials' family members, from applying makeup and powder, was immediately abolished.

In addition to winning over people's hearts, Prime Minister Yang may also have Dugu Jialuo urging him from behind.
