Chapter 534 Big Killer ([-])
Time flies, and it is April in a blink of an eye.

The funeral of the old saint has come to an end, and the new king has been enthroned for almost two months, and everything is going well.

In fact, this situation is also normal. The old sage has been sick for three or four years, and most of the time he is unable to handle the government affairs, and the new king who was the prince at the time was the one who went to court, listened to and discussed the affairs of state on his behalf.

Except for some important military and state affairs, general government affairs, today's saints are very familiar with it, and it is easy to handle it without much effort.

Moreover, there has been a custom since ancient times that when a new monarch ascends the throne, in order to stabilize the court and show respect to the late emperor, as long as the late emperor is not a tyrannical and stupid monarch, the new monarch will carry out many of his decrees as usual.

Not to mention the old sage, who is worthy of being an emperor through the ages, all the decrees he made before were completely preserved by the new sage, and they were actively implemented.

This made many Zhenguan veterans very pleased.

Well, although the reign name used now is still Zhenguan, everyone knows in their hearts that many things will gradually change if they change saints.

Now that the new ruler respects the late emperor so much, he doesn't act like a villain who is "I've finally made my way, and I can finally do whatever I want", which makes all the courtiers very happy.

The situation in the DPRK and China is very good, and the faint uneasiness caused by the death of the former emperor in the capital has gradually dissipated, and the people have resumed their previous lives.

The life of the Cui family is also going on as usual.

The seventh day of April is Cui Youbo's 28th birthday.Since it was not a full birthday, and Cui's family hadn't given their filial piety yet, the family just had a good meal behind closed doors.

And this "good" one is relatively speaking, wine must not be used, and there are no meat dishes, but there are a few more seasonal vegetables than the usual boiled cabbage and boiled radish, even if there are a few more dishes , The cooking method is still boiled.

Lingxi, Changsheng and other children were still young and growing up, so they made an exception and added some milk and cheese to them, and the rest were the same as adults.

Uncle Cui said a long time ago that although their family did not go back to Luoyang to observe filial piety, the rules of filial piety should not be wrong.

Xiao Nan has no objection to this.No way, they lived at that time and had to act according to the social rules at that time. After living in Datang for two lifetimes, she knew too well the importance of 'fame' to a person and a family.

Lingxi, Changsheng, Ah Mo and a few little buns stood in front of the hall, and respectfully saluted Cui Youbo, who was seated upright: "My son respectfully wishes Father a happy birthday, and I sincerely hope that Father will have today and today every year!"

After all, Cui Youbo is young, so it's not appropriate to say "songhe prolongs the year" and "blessed life stretches".

Therefore, the blunt congratulatory speeches of the little ones are considered timely.

Looking at the well-behaved and sensible children in front of the hall, Cui Youbo nodded in satisfaction, a kind of pride in being a father spontaneously emerged, he raised his hand slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, everyone get up!"

Hearing the words, the little guys got up swiftly, glanced at the mother on the other seat, and saw her nod her head slightly, then with a cry, they flew to the bed of the chief seat, surrounded today's birthday man, He chattered and took out the birthday present he had prepared to show off.

"Aye, this is embroidered by Ah Yuan himself. It is the first purse that Ah Yuan made in his life. Give it to Aye!"

Lingxi is the eldest daughter, and Cui Youbo dotes on her the most, so she is the first to show her father's birthday present.Uh, a purse with a purple base and emerald bamboo embroidered with good workmanship, but the embroidery needs to be improved.

To be honest, Lingxi's purse is not comparable to the embroiderer in Cui's sewing room, even Xiao Nan, who is not good at embroidery. Although it is not terrible, it is still far behind.

But Cui Youbo was very happy, and immediately took the purse, held it in his hand and admired it repeatedly, and kept praising: "Tsk tsk, the embroidery is really good, the color matches well, Aye's Ning Xin'er is really amazing, such a small girl I just learned how to make a purse, and I still do it so well!"

While talking, Cui Youbo took the exquisite purse from his waist and replaced it with the purse given by his daughter.

Seeing this, Lingxi was even happier, her big eyes turned into little crescents, very cute.

Sitting on the side, Xiao Nan raised his eyebrows and said to himself: On her birthday last year, this little guy also gave a purse. At that time, she also kept saying that it was the first purse she made in her life. The first', this little cunning, how many 'first' purses does she have? !
Lingxi was proud of herself, so she didn't see A Niang's expression.

The second one who took out the gift was Chang Sheng. Holding a white scroll in his fat little hand, he came to his father respectfully and said, "Aye, this is a word written by me. I hope Aye likes it." !"

Cui Youbo suppressed his smile, his expression became a little serious, he took the white scroll, and unfolded it gently——

Well, there are four big characters 'pine and cypress evergreen' written on it in Yan style, and there is a line of small characters beside it, 'On the seventh day of April in the 26th year of Zhenguan, congratulations from Erling Shuo'.

To be honest, these words are neatly written at best, not to mention the style, let alone the style, but considering that the person who wrote these words is a five-year-old Xiaodouding... People have to praise, very good, To be able to write so well at such a young age is really worthy of being a son of a family with a long history of education!

However, that is an ordinary person, and he is still an outsider, and Cui Youbo is the father of Changsheng, and he has high expectations for this eldest son, so he just nodded lightly: "Not bad, but still need to work hard. Do you know?!"

At the end of the talk, the tone was already a bit harsh, and Xiao Nan on one side could only hear his brows twisted into twists, complaining in his heart: You Cui Da, what kind of strict father's spectacle are you, my son is only five years old, five years old, put it on In future generations, a kid in a kindergarten class can be called a 'child prodigy' if he can write calligraphy, okay? !
Complaining in his heart, Xiao Nan looked at his son with concern, fearing that his son would be hit by this 'strict father' and his little heart would be traumatized.She decided that as soon as her son showed any signs of displeasure, she would rush up and hug him up, and then tell him, 'Son, don't listen to you, Aye, you write very well'.

Unexpectedly, Changsheng Children's Shoes' white and tender face showed an open-minded look, and nodded very sincerely, with the look of "I really don't write well enough, thank you for teaching me, I will work hard in the future".

Seeing this, Xiao Nan breathed a sigh of relief, well, my son is too sensible, and it is also a burden.

The last one to present the congratulatory gift was the little friend of Amu.She had already heard from the maid that her elder sister was going to give her a purse, so she didn't make a purse, lest she be misunderstood and wanted to compete with her elder sister for superiority and inferiority.But she couldn't make big things, so she just made a pair of socks.

The little girl held a pair of socks made of white silk, and saluted respectfully: "Aye, this is made by my son... I hope my father is in good health!"

Cui Youbo loves this concubine daughter, although he is not as fond of Amao as he is for Lingxi, but he still cares about her more. When he saw that she gave her a congratulatory gift, he made it himself, a smile instantly spread on his face, and he took the socks , looked at it carefully, and praised: "Enen, it's very good, Grandma has also learned how to do needlework, very good!"

As he said that, Uncle Cui changed his legs from sitting to sitting, straightened one leg, took off the plain cotton socks on his feet, and put on those made by Ah Mu, and he turned his feet specially to show that it was very suitable.

Seeing this situation, even though Ah Mu was usually taught to be prudent by her mother, she couldn't help showing a cheerful smile at this moment.But soon, she seemed to think of something again, and quietly looked at the expressions of her aunt and elder sister, seeing that they did not show any dissatisfaction, she breathed a sigh of relief.

A Niang said that you are not allowed to surpass your sister in anything, even in front of your father, you can't perform better than your sister.

Cui Youbo was very satisfied with his three sons and daughters. After receiving their gifts, he waved his hand and gave back a lot of things.

On this birthday, although the Cui family did not hold a banquet, the family was happy and harmonious. Looking at the house full of children, Uncle Cui felt more and more a sense of responsibility as a parent—he will do his best to create a better life for his children, so that they can live happily ever after. Proud of him as a father!

The next day, Cui Youbo went out to do some serious business.

He first went to Zhongshu, found his former colleagues, and asked him to help collect some residence newspapers and official documents about Eastern and Western Turks from the first year of Wude to the present;
Then, he went to the household department again, found the old colleague introduced by the third brother, and asked him to help find some supplies of food, grass, horses and other war preparations for the Turkic war. The resettlement materials and other materials given to them by the imperial court;

And then, he went to the Military Weapons Supervision...

After a circle, Cui Youbo collected a lot of combat materials against the Turkic Khanate.

Fortunately, Cui Ze's influence in the court still exists. In addition, Cui Youbo's performance in the mourning hall that day also fell into the eyes of the courtiers. Everyone knew that he was the new emperor's confidant, so they cooperated very well in collecting information for him. Make an exception and allow him to borrow.

Holding a large stack of materials, Cui Youbo was full of confidence. He thought: Brother Zhengzheng has already arrived in the Northwest. I hope he can find out the local customs and geographical conditions as soon as possible, so that he can understand the Northwest, especially the Western Turks. It will also be more in-depth.

Since Bi Lishu colluded with the envoys of the Western Turks, there must be some movement in the Western Turks. Although he couldn't guess what He Lu was doing now, he always had a premonition that there would be a battle between the Tang Dynasty and the Western Turks!
In half a year, his filial piety period will be over, and when he recovers, if there is a war in the northwest, he will have made preparations early, and no matter what position he fills, he will be able to perform in front of the new king.

However, Cui Youbo never expected that his request would bring Li Rong a lot of trouble, to be exact, it almost killed him.

No, in a town in the northwest thousands of miles away, Li Rong had just finished investigating the local farming and taxation situation, when more than a dozen burly men dressed in foreign costumes followed him...
