On the occasion of rebirth Zhou Sui

Chapter 487 Yanqing as an envoy (3000)

Cui Che thought he had chosen a good husband for his daughter, but Cui Wenjun's biological mother, Zhang Lihua, did not agree.

She was originally from a military family, so she naturally knew that military affairs were dangerous.

There is a saying: "A general dies in a hundred battles, but a strong man lives in ten years." '

And Cheng Yaojin is known for being brave and good at fighting, who knows that news of his death will come one day, making Cui Wenjuan a widow at a young age.

If there is a choice, Zhang Lihua would prefer Cui Wenjuan to marry into a civil servant's family.

Cui Che had no choice but to explain:

"I'm looking for someone to meet Cheng Yaojin. This person is a long-lived person, and he is noble. Even if the sword is blind on the battlefield, it will not kill him."

In fact, Cui Che never looked for a fortune teller, but he didn't just talk nonsense, at least in the original time and space, Cheng Yaojin did live to be 77 years old.

For later generations, it is normal to be over 70 years old, but in ancient times when people can call themselves old men in their 30s, it can be said that people in their [-]s are rare.

However, Zhang Lihua was still worried. She begged:

"Since the king has made a promise, the concubine does not dare to disobey the king's order, but if this person is not well-off, I would like to ask the king to show mercy and allow Wenjuan to remarry, and don't force her to keep the chastity."

Cui Che smiled and said:

"Could it be that you think I care about the criticism of the world, but don't worry, Wenjuan is also my daughter, how can I let her live alone."

In fact, Cheng Yaojin was recruited not only because he is Cui Che's favorite general, but also because he is so young and has a long lifespan.

As far as Yu Gong is concerned, Cheng Yaojin will kill all the elders and peers in the future. With his qualifications, he will definitely be the leader in the military, at least able to assist the three generations of the Cui family.

Personally speaking, if there are no accidents, Cui Wenjun at least does not have to experience the pain of losing his husband.

That is to say, Cheng Yaojin's reputation in the original time and space is not bad. If he was replaced by someone who was more ambitious and had such a long life, Cui Che would definitely do it secretly, so as not to leave a Sima Yi for his descendants.

After some persuasion by Cui Che, Zhang Lihua finally agreed to recruit Cheng Yaojin as his son-in-law.

As for the two aunts, Yang Lihua and Yang Awu, they never cared about the concubine's marriage, and they were also afraid that if they made a promise to the wrong family, they would be infamous.

After finalizing their daughter's marriage with Zhang Lihua, Cui Che did not stay in her room overnight.

Zhang Lihua is 49 years old. At this age, even in future generations, with various skin care products, it is difficult to cover up the wrinkles on her face.

Today, she is already showing her old age, and she is no longer the coquettish appearance of the past.

Cui Che hadn't let Zhang Lihua sleep with her for a few years, but occasionally he would sit in her yard.

Without physical pleasure, it can only bring spiritual comfort.

On the same day, Cheng Yaojin couldn't wait to rush to the Qin Mansion, find Qin Ai as a matchmaker, and go to Yan Wang Mansion to match him tomorrow.

When Yan Wang married a daughter, it was naturally impossible for the matchmaker to come to the door.

And Qin Ai and Cheng Yaojin's father Cheng Lou are best friends, and they have been friends with Cui Che for many years, so it is most suitable for him to be the matchmaker.

The next day, Qin Ai, who made an appointment with Cui Che last night, came to the door in the afternoon, and Cui Che was also waiting in the mansion.

Cui Che summoned Yang Lihua, Yang Awu, and Cui Wenjuan's biological mother, Zhang Lihua, to the hall. The dowry, dowry, etc. were finalized on the spot. Even the wedding date was settled in one step, and was chosen on the third day of the twelfth lunar month.

This is the auspicious day that Cui Che called Tai Shiling to ask early this morning.

When the marriage was settled, Cheng Yaojin was overjoyed, and deliberately ran to Su Dingfang to show off.

This greatly stimulated Su Dingfang, he said indignantly:
"If I hadn't been born a few years late, I wouldn't have the air you have today!"

Su Dingfang was sixteen years old, younger than Cui Che's fourth daughter, Cui Wenjuan.

She is also eight years older than Cui Che's fifth daughter, Cui Wenjun, the first daughter born to Yang Awu.

He was very annoyed by this, if he had been born a year or two earlier, or if he had been more cautious in the desert, with that credit, there would be no chance for this black servant to show off in front of him.

Actually, Cui Che also considered Su Dingfang, he and Cheng Yaojin are both very old people, one is 76 and the other is 77.

Both of them are loyal people, and they are both Cui Che's beloved generals, so it doesn't matter who they choose.

It's just that Cheng Yaojin fought desperately during the Great War in the Central Plains, winning the three cities of Heyang in a row, opening up the road for Cui Che to drive directly to Luoyang via the Heqiao, and made great achievements.

However, Su Dingfang made mistakes in the battle of the desert, so he chose Cheng Yaojin.

Seeing Su Dingfang's distraught look, Cheng Yaojin was even more heartbroken.

They once joined the army in Youzhou and came to serve under Cui Che's command, and they had a deep relationship.

But Cheng Yaojin was three years older than Su Dingfang, relying on his age and strength, he kept suppressing Su Dingfang, no matter whether he was fighting on horseback or on foot, Su Dingfang was no match for him.

And Su Dingfang also had a competitive nature, after a long time, the two of them were at odds with each other, but luckily they fought each other without breaking each other, Cui Che didn't intervene when he saw this.

In Cheng Yaojin's ardent anticipation, his and Cui Wenjuan's wedding date is getting closer and closer.

Cui Wenjuan was also nervous and looking forward to it. The only regret was that none of the three brothers could attend her wedding.

The eldest brother Cui Qiji is now guarding Xuzhou to guard against the invasion of the Western Sui Dynasty. At the same time, he is practicing navy day and night and is familiar with water warfare.

Cui Che handed over the navy to his eldest son, and Cui Qiji will take on an important role in going south in the future.

The second elder brother Cui Yanzong is now sitting in Liaodong, and some time ago he sent back a good news, which is said to have repelled an attack by the Goguryeo people.

But everyone knows that it is the veteran Wang Dangwan who is really in command of the battle, not the young Cui Yanzong.

After all, even Su Dingfang, Cheng Yaojin and other well-known generals in later generations, at this age, Cui Che only played to their strengths.

As the saying goes, newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, they are all good at martial arts, they are courageous and fearless, and they are suitable for generals who charge into battle and attack cities.

Previously, Cui Che pushed the seedlings to encourage and let the 16-year-old Su Dingfang lead the army alone, and suffered a big loss.

Therefore, Cui Yanzong was nominally the general manager of Liaodong, in charge of the military affairs of Liaodong, but Cui Che strictly prohibited Cui Yanzong from interfering in the military after the Battle of the Desert.

You can ask the old general Wang Dangwan for advice, but you can't tell me what to do.

Cui Qiji and Cui Yanzong dare not come back, and Cui Yanqing, who was escorted back to Jinyang by Cui Che before, also has a new job.

As an envoy, he followed the mission to Kumoxi, visited the sick Ahui Lusu for Cui Che, and at the same time discussed with Ahui Lusu about purchasing military horses.

Cui Yanqing seems to be full now, and he can't always keep him in the mansion.

Cui Che worked hard to start a business, and Cui Yanqing, as his son, naturally had to contribute his own strength.

The problem with Cui Yanqing was never that he was incompetent, but that he was caught by Cui Che after he showed his ambition to seize the heir.

Now, after Yang Lihua's teaching, Cui Yanqing also realized from his father's resolute methods that his eldest brother's status as the eldest son cannot be shaken.

Even though Cui Qiji never had a holiday, with his father's love for his eldest grandson, he might pass the throne to Cui Badger in the future.

After figuring out all the things here, Cui Yanqing finally gave up the idea of ​​seizing the heir, and ran for her father with peace of mind.

In the midwinter season, there was a heavy snowstorm in Monan, and a thick layer of ice condensed on the surface of the Laoha River.

Cui Yanqing finished her mission in Kumoxi and was saying goodbye to her elder brother's sworn brother Ah Hui Geye.

After visiting Ah Hui Lusu's condition, he also confirmed that the other party was indeed seriously ill, not that he had evil intentions and dared not go to Shuozhou to pay homage to his father.

Regarding the purchase of military horses, Ahui Lusu handed over all of them to Ahui Geye, and he negotiated with Cui Yanqing.

Ah Hui Geye intended to please Cui Che, but as the future heir, he did not dare to sell too much, which would hurt the interests of the tribe and disappoint the nobles and tribesmen.

After some negotiations, it was finally finalized that the Eastern Sui Dynasty would purchase [-] Kumoxi army horses at a premium, which would be converted into sea salt.

Although it is a premium, the price of sea salt is now falling again and again.

The reason is that after the loss of salt fields in Qingzhou and other places in the Western Sui Dynasty, salt fields were opened in the coastal areas of the south of the Yangtze River to dry sea salt.

During the reign of Yang Jian, salt fields in Qingzhou and other places opened for more than 20 years. During this period, the imperial court had already mastered the sea salt technology.

How could Yang Guang let Cui Che enjoy the benefits all by himself.

It's just that the production of sea salt in Qingzhou and other places had to be consumed by foreign trade. Now that the Jiangnan salt field has been newly opened, the supply exceeds demand, and now it is almost unprofitable to sell salt.

This is also the reason why Cui Che is in financial difficulties now.

But correspondingly, ordinary people have also benefited from it.

It's just that the sea salt in the south of the Yangtze River is difficult to sell to Kumoxi, Khitan, Goguryeo and other places.

After all, sending salt by sea from the south of the Yangtze River was too long a journey and the risk was too high.

Secondly, Cui Che deployed a large navy in Qingzhou to guard against ships from the south of the Yangtze River attacking from the sea, and the salt merchant ships in the south of the Yangtze River could hardly escape the search of the Qingzhou navy.

Therefore, the sea salt from Jiangnan cannot be transported to the northeast, and the sea salt from Qingzhou is still popular in Kumoxi.

Salt is not only eaten by people, but also by livestock.

The low price of sea salt has formed a price advantage, which has long destroyed the self-produced salt sales system in Kumoxi, Khitan, Goguryeo and other regions.

Therefore, Cui Yanqing bought military horses at a premium, but converted them into sea salt. For the Eastern Sui Dynasty and the Kumoxi family, neither was at a disadvantage.

After all, the sea salt from Jiangnan cannot be transported to the north, and the sea salt from Qingzhou cannot be transported to the southwest.

Cui Yanqing and A Huigoye bid farewell on the banks of the Laha River, then walked across the ice of the Laoha River and continued eastward.

There is another task on his trip, which is to inspect the Eighth Parts of the Khitan, to show their presence, so that the Eighth Parts of the Khitans will not forget the fear of being dominated by Cui Che.

Although the Silver Saddle Khitan Zhi and the Pishi Army have now cut off contact with the Eight Khitan Clans and have become attached Khitans, it does not mean that Cui Che will ignore the Eight Khitan Clans.

It's just that he is busy with the civil war and has no time to come to the northeast grassland.

Along with Cui Yanqing to Khitan, apart from his wives and concubines and accompanying guards, there was also a five-year-old Xi clan boy.

It was the son of Ahuigoye.

Earlier, Cui Che had mentioned to Ahui Geye that his son should go to Jinyang to be Cui Badger's companion.

The reason why Ahuigoye has delayed until now is not that he is reluctant to part with his son, but that his brothers are against it.

After Cui Yanqing came to Kumoxi, he relayed Cui Che's intention and asked Ah Hui Geye why he didn't send his son, which blocked the mouths of the other sons of Ah Hui Lusu.

　Cui Wenjun is the fifth daughter, the first daughter, the fourth daughter should be Cui Wenjuan, it has been corrected
