On the occasion of rebirth Zhou Sui

Chapter 499
"It doesn't matter how big or small it is. You can have this kind of heart, which is what makes me happy for my father."

Cui Che's affirmation made Cui Yanqing even more delighted, but he changed the subject and said:

"It's just that you make up your own mind, it really shouldn't be."

Cui Yanqing was astonished, he quickly explained:

"The child is also to share the worries of the father."

However, Cui Che changed the subject and said:

"It's just that you acted on your own, and you really shouldn't."

"Of course I know that you acted without authorization out of filial piety and good intentions."

As he spoke, Cui Che waved to Cui Yanqing to come and sit beside him, and patiently explained the reason to him.

Only then did Cui Yanqing know why his father did not authorize him to trade horses in Khitan.

The revenue and expenditure of the national treasury are just trivial matters, and this discrepancy will not hurt the root cause.

However, the Khitan Eighth Division lost [-] military horses, and its strength was further damaged, weakening its ability to restrain Kumoxi.

At the same time, this transaction was promoted by Cui Che's power, which would naturally cause resistance among the leaders of the Khitan ministries.

Seeing the serious consequences, Cui Yanqing was visibly panicked. Under self-blame, he even shed tears:
"The child is ignorant and missed his father's important business, so he asks his father to punish him."

However, Cui Che's attitude towards Guanyin's servant girl is completely different, Cui Che will not wipe away Cui Yanqing's tears, he reprimanded:
"A dignified husband, how easy it is to cry when things happen! Cry! We will face danger in the future, and when things come to an end, what's the use of crying!"

Cui Yanqing quickly raised her sleeves and wiped away her tears, not daring to make her father angry again.

Seeing his terrified appearance, Cui Che's heart softened, his face softened, and he sighed:
"Qing'er, Weifu doesn't blame you for doing something wrong, as long as your intention is good, even if Weifu takes care of the aftermath for you, I will be happy in my heart.

"It's just that diplomacy is no small matter, and the exchanges between countries must be handled with caution and should not be improvised.

"This matter is not only your fault, but also your father's fault. After all, you are young. It is because your father didn't explain the reason clearly to you in advance, so you made a mistake with good intentions."

After seeing Cui Yanqing buried his head deeply in annoyance, Cui Che patted him on the shoulder again and said with a smile:
"Of course, it's not all bad, at least you still bought [-] more military horses for me as a strategic reserve.

"This western expedition, as a father, he can drive the cavalry without any scruples."

Cui Yanqing finally pulled himself together, raised his head again, and said seriously:

"Father doesn't need to take care of the child. I will go to the court to plead guilty. If I did something wrong, I should have been punished. If the reward and punishment are unknown, how can my father convince the public in the future?"

Cui Che couldn't help himself when he heard this, and laughed heartily.

"Qing'er, do you know that for a father, what you said just now is better than the harvest of those [-] army horses."

For a moment, father and son reconciled, this scene is very rare between Cui Che and Cui Yanqing.

On that day, although he pleaded guilty to the little emperor Yang Hao, Cui Yanqing was in a state of excitement all day long.

He was very excited to feel the long-lost fatherly love again.

Even when she was having sex with his wife at night, Liu was amazed at how happy Cui Yanqing was.

The next day at the court meeting, Zhao Yuanshu, Minister of Civil Affairs, did not expect that Cui Che was unwilling to deal with Cui Yanqing, but Cui Yanqing still took the initiative to plead guilty.

In fact, as Cui Che and Cui Yanqing said, he originally wanted to protect Cui Yanqing by keeping the blame on himself.

But now that Cui Yanqing has been punished, Cui Che is not alone.

He still pleaded guilty to the imperial court on the grounds that he was not strict with his children, removed himself from the post of governor of Bingzhou, and fined him three years of salary.

At the same time, let the adopted son Pei Le step down from his military post and take over as the governor of Bingzhou to manage the government affairs in the Gyeonggi area.

If you have done something, you should be punished, but if you have meritorious service, you cannot bury it.

Cui Yanqing's mission this time successfully finalized the military horse trade with the Kumoxi people, which weakened the other party to a certain extent, so he naturally wanted to reward him.

Cui Che went up to the table, asked for credit for Cui Yanqing, and released him as the governor of Dingzhou.

He also carefully selected staff for Cui Yanqing. Although he was inferior to Cui Qiji who had Du Ruhui in Wen and Li Mi in Wu, it was more than enough to handle the government affairs of a state.

After Liu Fang was conscripted into the imperial court, Cui Che dismissed the post of Dingzhou governor.

Before Cui Yanqing left, Cui Che said earnestly:

"I hope you will work hard to appease the people's livelihood, but if you have a little political achievement, my father will ask for an order for you to restore your title."

Cui Yanqing nodded solemnly and said:
"The boy will never disappoint his father's ardent expectations. This time he is released, he must govern the people with all his heart and dare not slack off in the slightest."

Watching Cui Yanqing take his family away in a carriage, Yang Lihua, who went out of the city to see him off, cried into tears and kept complaining why Cui Yanqing was not left in Jinyang.

Cui Che had no choice but to explain to her that now that Cui Yanqing has restored her relationship with her, if she stays in Jinyang for a long time, and Cui Qiji stays in other places for a long time, it is difficult to guarantee that she will have the desire to win the heir in the future.

At the beginning, Yang Liang was kept by Yang Jian and his wife's side all the time, so he had different expectations.

Yang Lihua was speechless and could only sob silently.

Without Cui Yanqing and his big family, Princess Nanyang also returned to Xuzhou early, and Yan Wang's mansion immediately became much deserted.

It's just that as the schedule for dispatching troops is getting closer, Cui Che's life is also fulfilling, and the work of combat preparations is carried out intensely and orderly. Cui Che also often visits the camp outside the city, chatting with the soldiers who have been recruited again, Talk about trifles.

On the seventh day of March in the third year of Zhenyuan (AD 608), the spring plowing in various places was coming to an end. Cui Che sent a message to all parts of the Kanto region and the Guanlong region, once again exposing Yang Guang's atrocities of murdering his father and various acts of abusing the people during his southward migration.

Intimidate people in Guanlong, claiming that they will personally lead an army of 50 to collect Guanxi.

Call on the people of insight in Kansai to rise up to meet Wang Shi.

Of course, the so-called 50 army is just an imaginary number, and the civilians Cui Che recruited for this battle must be included in order to have such a scale.

Cui Che's real combat force is the 20 soldiers gathered around Jinyang.

In this battle, the elite came out in full force, and Cui Che vowed to capture Guanlong and unify the north.

Since Cui Che had already accumulated a large amount of supplies in Yubi City, Cui Che didn't need to wait to gather food and grass. The next day, after a grand swearing-in meeting, Cui Che led an army of 20 troops to the south.

The elite soldiers under his command are like a cloud, and the powerful generals are gathered together. Even the governor of Puzhou, Qin Qiong, is waiting at the front line. He will accompany Cui Che on the westward expedition, and Cui Che has entrusted the important task of guarding Puzhou to Shi Liufang, the governor of China and foreign countries.

Qin Qiong has been guarding Puzhou for several years. Before the Central Plains War, he was unable to withdraw. For this battle, he had already been gearing up and waiting for many years. He vowed to prove that he was the number one brave general under Cui Che's command. But rely on the real ability.
