Chapter 81 Royal Nunnery

"The luminous cup of grape wine, if you want to drink, play the pipa immediately. Don't laugh when you are lying drunk on the battlefield. How many people have fought in ancient times."

Yang Lihua held the letter home from Yang Guang and read it softly.

In the letter, Yang Guang also mentioned Cui Che's meritorious service of shooting three people dead when he first entered the battlefield.

Although he has never been masked, Brother Che's image becomes more and more vivid in Yang Lihua's eyes.

Ever since she moved to another palace with her daughter, Yang Lihua's life has been very boring. Receiving letters from Yang Guang every month and hearing him talk about his experiences in Bingzhou is one of the few things she looks forward to.

When she was in the palace before, Zhu Manyue would often chat with her, and she could also visit Emperor Wu of Zhou's Empress Ashina, and her late husband's biological mother Li Ezi.

However, as Yang Jian usurped the Sui Dynasty, Zhu Manyue, who lost his son, followed in the footsteps of Chen Yueyi and Yuan Leshang and became a nun. Li Eying also lost his son and grandson one after another, so they both became ordained in the temple and practiced under the name Fajing.

Ashina died of illness a few days ago and was buried with Emperor Wu of Zhou. Even Sima Lingji, the queen of Emperor Jing Yuwenchan and the daughter-in-law of Yang Lihua, remarried Sizhou Governor Li Dan. Today, Yang Lihua is very lonely.

Brother Che is not the only one who can take in the former empress. There are still many kind-hearted people in the world, and Li Dan is one of them.

A carriage stopped at the Royal Nun Temple. Although the Northern Zhou Dynasty was dead, the queens and concubines of the previous dynasty still stayed in the temple to become monks.

Yang Lihua walked out of the carriage and entered the temple.

In addition to raising her daughter, she went to the temple every day to talk to old people in the palace.

Today I received Cui Che's new work. She did not hide it like the song "Qing Ping Diao", but generously shared it with Chen Yueyi, Yuan Lexhang and others.

"That young man writes really good poems."

Chen Yueyi praised.

It is said that they are cultivating in the temple, but they did not lose their hair voluntarily, so how can they concentrate on it? Naturally, they are very curious about external affairs.

There are exceptions, such as Zhu Manyue, who is heartbroken. She is more than ten years older than the other girls. She had been carefully welcoming her son Yu Wenchan before, but she still failed to keep this bloodline. Under great shock, she did nothing but chant sutras.

When I recite the Buddha's name, I have no other thoughts.

Therefore, although Zhu Manyue never complained about Yang Lihua and knew that she was trying her best to protect her as a legitimate mother, she only came out to see Yang Lihua occasionally.

Chen Yueyi and Yuan Le were different. The other two sons of Zhou Xuan Emperor Yuwen Yun were killed. Yu Wenjun was born to Wang Ji, and Yu Wenshu was born to Huangfu Ji. He did not suffer the pain of losing a son, so naturally he would not be related to Zhu Manyue.

Same state of mind.

Yuan Leshang, wearing a nun hat, said curiously:

"You said that at such a young age, Cui Che writes poems so well and can kill enemies immediately. He is highly valued by the Supreme Being. I don't know if he will be promised as Princess Lanling."

The supreme one refers to Yang Jian.

Princess Yang Awu of Lanling is a hot topic in Chang'an City today. The reason is that her father-in-law Wang Yi did bad things with good intentions.

According to etiquette, Yang Awu should have mourned her late husband Wang for three years, but it only lasted one year. Wang Yi either pitied her for her young age, only ten years old, or to please Yang Jian, so he went to Shu and asked to be Princess Lanling.

In addition to the funeral, he is allowed to get married elsewhere.

However, he was impeached by the imperial censor Yang Su on the grounds that his father was unkind, vulgar and harmful to education.

Wang Yi never expected that he would be accused of treating his son Wang Feng unkindly when he was sent by a white-haired man to a black-haired man just to let his daughter-in-law attend the funeral.

Although Yang Jian issued an edict not to punish Wang Yi, he alienated him.

Wang Yi couldn't figure out what he did wrong no matter what. He was clearly thinking about his daughter, Yang Jian, but he ended up like this.

In fact, to put it bluntly, Yang Jian was just using the topic to show off his great achievements, including Yang Su's attack.

It is true that he did not deal with Wang Yi, but the attitude of the monarch can affect the attitude of ministers towards Wang Yi. Now Yang Jian uses this as an excuse to alienate Wang Yi. Wang Yi will not be left in the cold in front of the door, but he will not be as lively as before.

.

Of course, the result was that Princess Yang Awu of Lanling was in mourning, and now Yang Jian is looking for a remarriage husband for her.

Chen Yueyi pondered for a moment and then said:

"Cui Che is talented and is friends with the King of Jin. He must be within the consideration range of the Supreme Being."

"If he can win the title of Princess Lanling, then Cui Che will definitely rise to prominence."

Yuan Leshang smiled.

Yang Lihua said lightly:

"With his talents, like a cone in a bag, and his quick insights, he can accomplish something even if he has never been married to Ah Wu."

Somehow, Yang Lihua's conversation was over very quickly. After saying that, she said goodbye to Yuan Lexhang and Chen Yueyi, and got up to go back.

After Yang Lihua left, Yuan Lexhang whispered to Chen Yueyi:

"Could it be Sister Yang?"

Chen Yueyi quickly stopped and said:

"Don't talk nonsense."

But he couldn't stop Yuan Lexhang's mouth:

"But Sister Yang did not become a nun like you and me. She will always marry again in the future."

"Whether Sister Yang keeps her integrity or remarries has nothing to do with you or me."

After saying that, Chen Yueyi ignored Yuan Leshang and turned to pray for her father.

When Yang Jian came to power, Chen Shanti, the father of Chen Yueyi, and Yuan Sheng, the father of Yuan Leshang, fled Chang'an one after another. It has been two years now, and they still don't know whether they are alive or dead, and they don't know where they are hiding.

When Yang Lihua returned to the palace, her daughter Yuwen Eying was still as cute as ever. When playing with her daughter, she always lost interest.

In May of the second year of Emperor Kaihuang's reign (582), the atmosphere was different from that in Chang'an. All the border areas were nervously preparing for war.

This time, the Turks were no longer the test of the advance troops last month. The Great Khan took pictures and mobilized the troops of the five lesser Khans, with a total of 400,000 people crossing the Great Wall.

Gao Baoning, the governor of Yingzhou in western Liaoning, also took the opportunity to march and invade Pingzhou.

Although the northern area of ​​Hebei is also under the jurisdiction of Daxingtai, Hebei Province, its logistics has nothing to do with Cui Che. He mainly supplies Li Chong's troops, and there are other candidates in Hebei area.

And the Turks' 400,000-strong army could not swarm them all at once, so they had to attack from multiple directions.

In June, Li Chong defeated the Turks again in Mayi. However, this time Cui Che did not join in the fun at the front line, but he also shared a share of the credit by providing logistics.

There is good news and there is no shortage of bad news.

In order to resist the Turks, Yang Jian ordered Feng Yu of Zhu State to garrison Yifubo (now Xining, Qinghai Province), Lanzhou Commander-in-Chief to guard Lintao (today's Dingxi, Gansu Province), Li Chong of Shangzhu State to garrison troops in Youzhou, and Marching Commander Da Xi Changru.

They occupied Zhoupan (now Heshui, Gansu), but these people were defeated one by one by the Turks.

The Turks were able to loot Wuwei, Tianshui, Anding, Jincheng, Shangjun, Honghua, Yan'an and other counties. Their livestock was plundered, and the number of people robbed was countless.

Fortunately, when the Turks invaded Lanzhou again, they were defeated by He Lou Ziqian, the general manager of Lanzhou, and they retreated. However, the damage caused to the northwest region of the Sui Dynasty was difficult to make up for.

For example, Feng Yu and other defeated generals were defeated by the Turks, but they were actually outnumbered and had overkilled the enemy, so they were exempted from punishment. The victorious generals were naturally recalled to Chang'an for reward.

After being busy, Cui Che, who was in charge of military supplies, was also on the list of returning to Beijing to reward his merits.

New books will be updated in the evening and evening.
