Chapter 62 Pei Xiu comes to Beijing

Yang Jian resigned from the position of Prime Minister with special gifts, but anyone familiar with history knows that resignation is an inherent process and one cannot act too eagerly.

It was the end of the year, and Cui Che was ordered to draft a document and summon the crown prince Yang Yong to the capital, removing him as the general manager of Luozhou and the governor of Tokyo Kozuka, and ascending to the throne of Shangzhu Kingdom, the Grand Sima, leading the internal history Yuzheng, and managing the palace defense.

When it comes to usurping the throne, the palace defense is naturally more trustworthy than outsiders if it is placed in the hands of the son.

During this period, Cui Che was invited to visit Cui Xuanyou and Cui Hongdu. As elders of the clan, they also tactfully advised Cui Che that he could be friends with Yang Guang, but not to get too close.

Yang Yong's position as the eldest son is too stable in the eyes of the world. Not only is he the eldest son, he also demonstrated his talents while guarding Luoyang, Tokyo.

If you look at the comparison between the two brothers, you will see that Yang Yong occupies a high position, while Yang Guang does not even hold an official position.

Thirteen years old is not too young. Gan Luo was promoted to minister at the age of twelve, and his position was as high as that of the prime minister.

Some days ago, Yuan Xiaoju, the father of Yang Yong's legitimate wife, was worshiped as Xiaozukazai, ascended to the throne of Zhuguo, and was granted the title of Duke of Xunyang County.

Everything shows Yang Jian's favor towards his eldest son.

Cui Xuanyou and Cui Hongdu had good intentions. In their view, Cui Che got on Yang Guang's boat and everything went smoothly for Yang Jian, but when Yang Yong came to power, he was disappointed.

Moreover, with his status as a potential minister, he could be reused under Yang Jian without Yang Guang's help, so why bother with his future for the rest of his life.

Cui Che thanked the two elders for their kindness, but remained as close to Yang Guang as before.

On December 27, Cui Che went back to his home after his shift, changed into regular clothes, grabbed Yuchi Chifan and headed to the outskirts of the city.

Yuchi Chifan has been growing his hair for nearly two months, and it is still relatively sparse, but at least there is no bald scalp to be seen, and he dares to go out even if he wears a headscarf.

Hearing that Cui Che's aunt was coming, Yuchi Chifan was very panicked. He didn't know how the elder named aunt, who was actually just like his mother, would think of him.

"Don't worry, my aunt is very kind."

Cui Che noticed Yuchi Chifan's uneasiness, held her hand tightly and comforted her.

However, the kind aunt Cui Che said raised the wooden stick in her hand after seeing Cui Che.

"Aunt! If you have something to say, please tell me. I have to be on duty tomorrow! I can't be beaten!"

Cui Zhaorong was startled when he heard this, then threw the stick and said bitterly:

"I'll hit you again when I have a rest on the first day of the year!"

The anger of being deceived and fooled by Cui Che had been building up in Cui Zhaorong for half a year, so how could he let him go so easily.

Cui Che breathed a sigh of relief and hurried forward to sell it to his aunt. He didn't forget to glare at Pei Xiu, as if he was complaining: It's been half a year, why haven't you persuaded my aunt for me?

Pei Xiu turned a blind eye. He was still waiting to see Cui Che get beaten. It made no sense that he, an accomplice, should be beaten with a stick, but Cui Che, as the mastermind, should be able to escape the blame.

Miao Rong's eyes were all on Cui Che, and she was hesitant about how to greet him. She didn't know whether Cui Che agreed to take her as his concubine because of his sincere willingness, or if it was just a means to deceive Yuchi Jiong.

After all, the so-called taking concubines and keeping seeds was the result of Brother Che secretly telling Pei Xiu to instigate Cui Zhaorong.

Mu Xieli was looking at Yuchi Chifan next to Cui Che. She didn't care whether Cui Che truly loved her, she just hoped to give birth to a son and a half daughters in the future and enjoy the glory.

After coaxing Cui Zhaorong, Cui Che waved to Miaorong and Mu Xieli, and they ran over immediately.

After some sweet talk, Cui Che introduced Yuchi Chifan to them. When Cui Zhaorong learned that it was a gift from Yang Jian, he accepted her and also gave her a pair of jade bracelets.

Such wonderful gifts were received by Mu Xieli when he and Cui Che arranged their marriage.

"Ache, let me introduce you to an elder in the clan."

Pei Xiu pulled Cui Che out of the crowd and walked to the carriage at the back of the team. There was already a middle-aged man in his thirties.

This man was wearing Confucian robes and had a long beard. Before Cui Che could greet him, he smiled and said:

"My dear friend, your name is as sharp as thunder. I have long wanted to know you, and today I finally got my wish."

Cui Che knew that he must be Pei Ju, so he bowed and said:

"My dear Cui Che, I have met Mr. Pei. Mr. Pei can be a good match for me. I will work with you in the future. If you have any doubts, please feel free to give me some advice."

"We, the Guandong scholars, should be in the same boat, support each other, and work together to assist the Prime Minister."

Pei Ju nodded.

He didn't stay long, he was summoned by Yang Jian, and now he is rushing to the Prime Minister's Mansion to pay an audience.

After Cui Che said goodbye to Pei Ju, he also called everyone back home. He wanted to ride with Miaorong and Mu Xieli, but Cui Zhaorong called her into her carriage.

I can avoid the stick for the time being, but the reprimand is still indispensable.

After being criticized, Cui Che didn't dare to smile playfully, so he had to lower his head and endure it. After talking for a while, Cui Zhaorong gave up and asked again:

"Did you not forget to offer sacrifices during the winter solstice?"

Cui Che said nonsense:

"It's a sacrifice, it's a sacrifice. On the day of the winter solstice, I specially prepared all kinds of meat and vegetables. The next day, my grandfather even praised me in a dream."

"It's hard for you to have a bad intention."

Cui Zhaorong stroked Cui Che's head, his eyes full of kindness.

"Can aunt please stop beating me? Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll spill the beans next time my grandfather tells me a dream."

The hand that was originally caressing gently patted Cui Che's head. Cui Zhaorong smiled and said:

"Then I have to beat him harder. Che'er must tell his father about this and let him share his dream with me."

Cui Che's face turned bitter. It seemed that he couldn't escape from that stick.

Back in the courtyard, a group of servants and maids were naturally busy cleaning the dust. Yuchi Chifan had already moved out of Cui Che's bedroom. The bed belonged to Miaorong. In the past, he did not dare to live alone in the empty Cui Mansion, not to mention

It's not safe to talk about ghosts and thieves who have climbed over the wall.

Now that the mansion was bustling, Cui Che also assigned two maids to serve her, and then found another room in the main courtyard.

Mu Xieli has also moved into the main courtyard. His status has already been determined and there is no need to avoid suspicion like before.

While the cooks were preparing dinner, Pei Xiu found Cui Che and told him about his plan to apply for an official position in Hedong County.

"That's fine. You can stay in Hedong for the time being and wait for Yang Ying to open his mansion before coming to Chang'an."

"I just don't want you to take care of everything, so I stay in Hedong!"

Pei Xiu emphasized her thoughts.

Cui Che smiled and said:

"It has nothing to do with me. Yang Ying has mentioned you several times. It is also his idea to recruit you into the palace in the future. Before, you were not afraid of being implicated and ran for me. He saw it in his eyes. He knows that you have a pure character and he likes the Pei family.

He is also a big family from Hedong, so he naturally wants to recruit them."

Cui Che is really not talking nonsense about this. Yang Guang really intends to recruit Pei Xiu after opening the palace.

"Really? You can't lie to me."

"Why did I lie to you? I will take you to have a drink with him tomorrow when I get off duty. He has long wanted to get acquainted with you."
