Chapter 491
The first day of the first month of the third year of Zhenyuan (AD 608) is another new year.

The young emperor Yang Hao met his ministers in the Daming Palace, and all the etiquette of the Yuanhui followed the old system of Han and Wei Dynasties.

Cui Che, King of Yan, asked to set up a white tiger bottle in the hall again.

The so-called white tiger bottle is a wine vessel with a white tiger pattern painted on the cover.

The generals present were at a loss and did not understand Cui Che's intentions, but some civil servants had read history books, so they naturally understood what Cui Che intended to do.

The Southern Dynasty Liu Song History Book "Song Shu·Li Zhi I" records:
'At the Zhengdan New Year's Meeting, a white tiger bottle was set up in the palace, and a white tiger was placed on the bottle cover. If anyone who can offer blunt words, they will send out this bottle to drink. '

Sure enough, Cui Che turned around, turned his back to the emperor, faced the officials, and said loudly:
"Chuan cannot be guarded against, and words cannot be silenced; the lower fortress is deaf, and the state will fall.

"Today, the Son of Heaven is young, alone under the imperial edict of the late emperor, ordered to assist, and arbitrarily arbitrarily adjudicating state affairs.

"Government orders are passed down from top to bottom, and they are related to all people in the world. The rise and fall of a country must be carefully observed.

"Today, taking advantage of the opportunity of the Yuanhui, the purpose of setting up the white tiger bottle alone is to listen carefully to the thoughts of the princes in the court.

"Cui is happy when he hears about it. He knows his mistakes and is not afraid to correct them. You can speak out about the gains and losses of politics and face Cui's mistakes."

Cui Che's angry voice echoed in the hall, but the one who greeted him was completely silent, deadly silence, not even whispering or discussing in a low voice.

Everyone is not stupid, you, Cui Che, will be happy if you hear it, and they will not be so stupid as to believe it.

If you really want to retaliate afterwards, no one can afford the consequences.

This king of Yan is really not very discerning. It is said that when he was 11 years old, he ignored his cousin's begging before he died, and slaughtered his cousin's whole family. fault.

Fortunately, Cui Che had a plan in advance. He looked at the left servant of Shang Shu and shot Fang Xuanling. Fang Xuanling sighed helplessly, and could only bow down and say:

"To His Majesty, to Xiangguo, the minister Fang Xuanling has something to say to Xiangguo."

Cui Che nodded and said:
"The house servant shoots but says it's okay."

Fang Xuanling said seriously:

"Yang Guang murdered his father and brother, and made an edict to ascend the throne. Now that the world is not at peace, it is the time when the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are working together to punish the country's traitors and avenge the emperor.

"But there are many rumors among the people that King Yan built a palace in Shuozhou in order to accommodate women of various ethnic groups, abusing people's and material resources.

"I don't know if this statement is true or not. Today, I have to face His Majesty and the King of Yan, and ask the King of Yan to clarify my doubts."

As soon as these words came out, everyone lamented Fang Xuanling's cunning, saying that it was Chen Cui Che's fault. This was clearly an opportunity for Cui Che to clarify his intention to build the Shuozhou Palace.

Cui Che also had a wry smile in his heart, he only communicated with Fang Xuanling and asked him to take the lead and speak out about his fault, but Cui Che didn't give any more specific instructions to Fang Xuanling.

As the saying goes, if you listen to both, you will understand, and if you listen to others, you will be judged. Cui Che set up a white tiger bottle, not to find out who would speak ill of him, but sincerely wanted to know whether there was anything wrong with his past government orders.

Who knew that Fang Xuanling was playing tricks and asked himself to explain why the Shuozhou Palace was built.

Cui Che has also heard rumors among the people, but he doesn't care. After fighting for so many years, I can't enjoy it.

But since Fang Xuanling gave this occasion, Cui Che couldn't show bad attitude. He saluted the little emperor first, then turned around and explained to the court officials:

"The reason why Gu built the Shuozhou Palace was not for his own selfish desires.

"Emperor Gaozu defeated Datou Khan, and more than ten tribes of Tie Le belonged to him. Gaozu was difficult to manage, so he bestowed all of them to Qimin.

"However, Qimin's stubbornness has become a serious problem for our dynasty. Cui has learned from this, so he declined Dulan Khan's invitation to accept Neifu Tiele.

"In Cui's conception, the royal palace is not only a summer resort, but also a place to manage the inner Tiele tribe.

"If effective management of the Tiele tribe can be achieved, they can be used to defend the border and avoid foreign harassment.

"In the future, when we use troops in Saibei, we can recruit them to join the army.

"It is not a rumor that it is used to house Hu Nu.

"Jinyang King Yan's Mansion is old and dilapidated, and the people are better than the house. Cui did not want to waste people's energy and never expanded it. He could only send them to resettle after the Shuozhou Palace was completed.

"As Fang Pushe said, punishing the traitor Yang Guang and avenging Emperor Gaozu is the most important thing.

"Previously, the chiefs of various ethnic groups presented the woman as a gift, and it was really hard to refuse their good intentions.

"Once they refuse, it will undoubtedly humiliate and humiliate the chiefs of all ethnic groups, and alienate us from Da Sui, and the northern border will also be uneasy."

With that said, Cui Che turned around and bowed to the little emperor:
"Your Majesty, please be aware of my painstaking efforts."

There were quite a few people in the hall rubbing their chins and bowing their heads in thought.

Cui Che's idea of ​​setting up a royal palace and supervising the Tiele tribe does have his reasons.

And no one is stupid enough to step forward to refute Cui Che, why don't you dedicate those bearded girls to the emperor, otherwise Cui Che will point his nose and scold you. Body, what is the intention.

The little emperor suppressed his nausea, raised his hand and said:
"My father is loyal to the country, I know it, please hurry up."

Cui Che just got up, took a white tiger bottle, filled it for Fang Xuanling, and handed it over.

He didn't forget to give Fang Xuanling a hard look, obviously Cui Che was not satisfied with his role as an example, he was really seeking advice from everyone.

Fang Xuanling returned an apologetic smile, took the wine glass, and drank the contents of the glass to the brim.

Cui Che was quite helpless, but it was a pity that Wei Zheng was still in Shuozhou to supervise the construction of the palace for him, otherwise, when it comes to speaking out and admonishing, no one would be more competent than him.

After all, in the original time and space, there is no more famous admonisher than him. Of course, this is also related to Tang Taizong's humility to accept advice.

If you really want to change to someone with a narrower mind, you may be able to bear it if you say it once or twice, but if you say it too many times, you will kill the person long ago.

Even Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty was broken by Wei Zheng's words, and said to his wife, Empress Changsun: "This farmer must be killed. '

It is a very risky thing to bluntly accept advice. With Fang Xuanling as an example, most of the officials would say things that are not painful. No matter whether there is reason or not, Cui Che will give them a glass of wine as encouragement.

In the end, this New Year's Day meeting also turned into a political show. When he returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, Cui Che couldn't help but shouted:
"Wuji! Go to Shangshu Province and call the house servant for Gu."

However, it was not Changsun Wuji who entered the door, but Xue Shou.

He explained instead:

"Report to Your Majesty, during the court meeting, Wuji received bad news from his family. His father, Sun Sheng, died of illness in Guanzhong. He was worried about his mother and sister, and hurried home."

Hearing the news of Changsun Sheng's death, Cui Che was stunned for a moment.

At this time, I lost my mind to vent my anger on Fang Xuanling, and immediately ordered:
"Quickly prepare the carriage for Gu."

 There are only two chapters today, and I have been inquiring about Shelton University. My sister is determined to go to Singapore now.

  But I think the exams are formal, and schools that only need to spend money are really unreliable. I'm afraid it's a pheasant school.

  There are all kinds of news on the Internet, some say that it is indeed Communication University of China two plus two, and some say that Shelton University is not recognized by the Ministry of Education. I don’t know which one to believe. My sister also fell out with her family because of this matter. , so the update has been affected during this time, sorry.
