On the occasion of rebirth Zhou Sui

Chapter 438 Returning to Jinyang
Cui Che ordered someone to invite Li Jing, filled a glass of wine for him, and said:
"The sage passed away, and he could not stay in Henan for a long time alone, and he will go north immediately to seek a new king.

"Yang Su stationed troops in Shanzhou, and he was alone with his generals. In terms of martial arts, the only person who can defeat Yang Su is a pharmacist.

"After the solitary class master Jinyang, he will invite a new king, make the pharmacist the governor of Luozhou, and send [-] soldiers to guard Luoyang for the pharmacist.

"The military forces of Luo, Yi, Lu, and Zheng are all under the control of pharmacists.

"The one who is alone, I only hope that the pharmacist will guard the western frontier for me."

Li Jing picked up the wine cup and said:
"Your Majesty has entrusted you with a heavy responsibility, how dare I be slack in my heart, please rest assured Your Majesty, but let Li Jing survive, and never let Yang Su go east."

After all, drink up the wine in one gulp.

When Cui Che heard this, he nodded in relief.

Although Cui Qiji is the Daxingtai of Henan Province, Cui Che dare not let the eldest son sit in Luoyang to confront Yang Su.

After all, Cui Qiji was young, so he was no match for Yang Su.

Li Jing is the only one who can make Cui Che rest assured to deliver this important task.

He left [-] soldiers for Li Jing, and brought the government soldiers from Luozhou, Yizhou, Luzhou, Zhengzhou and other places under his command. In Cui Che's mind, even if Yang Su's army went east, Li Jing would definitely be able to persist until his own Go south from Jinyang to support.

The next day, Cui Che left Li Jing to guard Luoyang, and led the rest of the soldiers back to the court.

As for Cui Qiji's Henan Daxingtai, it will undoubtedly be revoked. This is just an expedient measure during wartime.

Cui Qiji will, as the governor of Xuzhou, supervise the military affairs of Huaibei states and guard the Huaihe River.

The remaining states and counties in the Central Plains, as well as Qingzhou and other places, will be placed under the direct administration of the central government.

Of course, Cui Che still allowed Cui Qiji to move his direct line troops and their families to Xuzhou, and select soldiers from Xuzhou and other places to supplement the number to 3.

In Jinyang City, Yang Liang's funeral was arranged by Shi Fangxuanling, the head of the prime minister's residence.

The death of Yang Liang did not arouse the speculation of the officials. Cui Che led the army outside, and Yang Liang's physical condition was also watched by everyone to collapse day by day.

At that time the eight-year-old prince Yang Hao was sobbing, Queen Doulu embraced him in her arms, stroking his back repeatedly to comfort him.

Not everyone is as young and mature as Yang Zhao, the prince of the Western Sui Dynasty. When he was three years old, Yang Jian could praise him for being an elder.

Compared with Yang Zhao, Yang Hao is undoubtedly just an ignorant boy.

Empress Doulu managed to comfort Yang Hao, she called Fang Xuanling over, and couldn't help asking:

"The sage passed away, leaving me and Hao'er orphaned and widowed. I don't know how His Royal Highness King Yan will arrange for us.

"If the King of Yan is willing to be the son of heaven, I can give up the country, but please don't take the lives of our mother and son."

Knowing that the woman was afraid, Fang Xuanling comforted her.

"I also ask the empress to be at ease, on the day the king returns to the court, he will definitely support the crown prince as the new king, so how dare he have the heart of disobedience.

"Besides, the queen made great achievements in Lili that day, so how could the king treat the queen badly?"

What Fang Xuanling said meant that after Cui Che repelled Yang Su, it was Empress Doulu who persuaded Yang Liang to stay in Jinyang.

After hearing these words, Queen Doulu felt a little comforted in her heart.

She brought Yang Hao, who was sad because of the loss of her husband, to Yang Lihua and Yang Awu, claiming that she had been out of energy recently, and hoped that the sisters of the Yang family could take care of Yang Hao on their behalf.

Yang Lihua and Yang Awu felt sorry for their little nephew who had lost his father since childhood, so they choked up and agreed.

After all, they are brothers and sisters, Yang Liang died suddenly, and the sisters of the Yang family also came from the same generation.

Empress Doulu's move was not because she was really unwell, but because she hoped that Yang Hao could deepen his relationship with his two aunts. Whether he could save his life in the future would ultimately fall on these two people.

In the first year of Yongchang, on the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, Cui Che took the lead to return to Jinyang under the escort of [-] cavalry soldiers of the Qianxiaojie Army.

His wives are now in the palace, and Yang Liang's funeral is still being held, but Cui Che did not go straight to Jinyang Palace, but went to the mansion of Prince Peixiu of Hedong County to see his aunt Cui Zhaorong's condition.

Cui Zhaorong has been ill for quite some time, and she is nearly [-] years old, even if she has superb medical skills, she is still no match for the passage of time.

I had eye problems in the past, but now I can't see clearly at all.

"aunt."

Hearing Cui Che's voice, Cui Zhaorong stretched out his hand and called out:

"But Che'er?"

Cui Che moved his face closer, forced a smile and said:

"It's Che'er who's back."

Cui Zhaorong stroked Cui Che's face, compared it with his memory, confirmed that it was his nephew who had returned, and said excitedly:

"I heard from Xiu'er that you won another battle in Henan, okay, okay!"

Cui Che held Cui Zhaorong's old hand and said:

"Auntie, my nephew will be recuperating and will not leave Jinyang for the time being. From now on, I will visit the mansion every day to pay my auntie well."

Cui Zhaorong was very happy in his heart, but he said:

"You shoulder the important affairs of the country, and you don't need to be distracted by me, a blind old woman."

Cui Che just smiled and shook his head.

In fact, he decided to rest for a while, not all to accompany Cui Zhaorong.

Cui Che has now completely restored the territory of the Eastern Wei and Northern Qi. Only Kansai in the north has not yet been attached, but the four fortresses in Guanzhong are difficult to capture and cannot be easily captured.

In the south, the water network is densely covered, and it will take time to build a navy.

Therefore, in the coming time, Cui Che will shift his focus from military affairs to internal affairs.

Today, the Eastern Sui Dynasty occupies the land of three rivers, namely Hedong, Hebei, and Henan. However, since it took more than a year to lay down such a large territory, the domestic internal affairs construction is actually relatively extensive.

While Cui Che is recuperating, he can also find time to rectify the internal affairs.

As long as Li Jing can keep Luoyang, it will be a matter of time before the Western Sui Dynasty moves the capital.

At that time, it is time to find a way to win Kansai.

Cui Che fed Cui Zhaorong soup, told her to take care of her body, and left.

Pei Xiu left Pei Le's son Pei Wenzheng in the bedroom, while she sent Cui Che out of the house.

Pei Wenzheng was three years old at the time, the daughter of Pei Le and Yang Xuangan.

Pei Xiu said with emotion:
"Fortunately, when Wenzheng was born, my mother was still able to see, so she saw her great-grandson with her own eyes."

Cui Che also knew that her aunt had been looking forward to this great-grandson for many years.

He wondered:

"Why isn't Le'er in the mansion today?"

Pei Xiu explained:
"The sage died, and people came and went in Jinyang Palace. Now that you have returned to Jinyang, you must not relax. To prevent accidents, I will let him stay in the palace."

Cui Che smiled and said:

"There's no need to be so ignorant. Later, I will let Mai Mengcai take over as the guard of Jinyang Palace. Le'er will spend some time at home and take care of my aunt. My aunt brought him up since he was a child. Let him be filial." .

"Tomorrow, I will ask the nanny to bring the badger to your house, and Yang Liang died suddenly. I'm afraid Lihua can't take care of him now, and I don't have time to spare. I will temporarily foster him at your house during this period."

Pei Xiu nodded and said:
"Alright."

The two bid farewell at the gate of the mansion. Although they have been together less and more often these years, the friendship they had for each other since they were young has never changed.
