Chapter 113
Su Wei first suggested that Cui Che be the governor of Qingzhou. Although there was selfishness in it, it was also for the consideration of state affairs.

As soon as the words fell, Yang Su agreed immediately, because of the close relationship between Cui Che and Yang Xuangan, he was also willing to do this favor.

Among the four important ministers, Cui Che got two votes, and the remaining Gao Jiong and Yu Qing were not villains, and they all expressed their support.

As Su Wei said, there is no more suitable candidate than Cui Che for both public and private affairs.

Yang Jian didn't agree immediately, he sent someone out of the palace to Wucheng Duke's Mansion, naturally he wanted to ask his daughter's wishes, to see if he was willing to leave Beijing with Cui Che to take up his post.

Besides, when Cui Che returned to the mansion, he was not in a hurry to spend time with his wives and concubines, he greeted his grandmother and aunt one after another, the old lady Feng held her grandson's face and said that she had lost a lot of weight.

After sending away Yuwen Eying who was playing in Yang Lihua's room, Cui Che took out the family letter he had written long ago from his bosom and handed it over.

"Busy business, I wrote the letter a long time ago, but forgot to send someone to deliver it."

Yang Lihua took it, and was not in a hurry to take it apart. She opened her bright eyes and asked:
"What was written in the letter?"

"You'll know it when you see it."

Cui Che hugged Yang Lihua on his lap and sniffed the fragrance of her neck.

Yang Lihua opened the letter and read every word of Cui Che carefully.

She seemed to see herself and Cui Che leaning against the seaside, watching the tide rise and fall, watching the sunset and sunrise.

"You even attached a poem!"

At the end of the reading, Yang Lihua said pleasantly.

Without waiting for Cui Che to answer, she recited to herself:

"A bright moon rises above the sea, and the world shares this moment together.

"The lover resents the distant night, but lovesickness begins at night.

"When the candle is extinguished, the light is full of pity, and the clothes feel dewy.

"It's unbearable to give a gift, and it's a good time to sleep and dream."

Yang Lihua put the letter paper on her chest, she turned her head and asked stupidly:

"Is this also written for my concubine?"

"Leaving Beijing for several months, only the Queen Mother can make me lovesick."

"You also call your concubine the Queen Mother!"

When someone from the palace asked if Cui Che would like to work in Qingzhou, and if Yang Lihua would like to leave Beijing with her husband.

Yang Lihua had long been tempted by what Cui Che wrote in his letter, so naturally she would not refuse, and Cui Che yearned for the position of Qingzhou Governor even day and night.

The messenger knew the attitude of the two, and then went back to the palace to report.

Yang Jian then drafted an edict, commending Cui Che for his contribution to disaster relief, and worshiping him as the governor of Qingzhou, concurrently the governor of Qingzhou, and leading the military administration of Qingzhou, Jiao, Guang, and Juzhou.

But in the end, Yang Jian considered that Cui Che was still young. Although he was praised by the local scholars and people when he assisted Yang Guang in governing the state, and his ability was unquestionable, he still selected a minister for his son-in-law as the governor of the government.

Cui Che brought his wife into the palace to thank him. Dugu Jialuo was reluctant to part with his eldest daughter, and he also knew the importance of opening fields to make salt, so he didn't try to stop him.

And Cui Che also met Li Gang, a Hebei fellow who was appointed by Yang Jian as the governor and governor, and a native of Jixian County, Bohai County (now Jingxian County, Hebei Province).

Cui Che also knew Li Gang, and Li Gang was the father of his friend Li Chong.

But honestly, Cui Che was not very happy about this appointment.

There is no other reason, but Li Gang is in the way of the Lord.

Terrible!It can be called Lou among people!
As far as Cui Che knew, Li Gang had served three princes in his life.

The first one was Yang Yong, who served as the prince washing horses.

The second is Li Jiancheng, who served as Prince Shaobao and Prince Zhan Shi.

The third is Li Chengqian, who served as the prince's young teacher.

Feudal superstition is of course undesirable, but Li Gang is somewhat moldy.

However, in Yang Jian's view, with Li Gang's assistance, he can safely hand over the military affairs of the four states to Cui Che.

Li Gang was a man of integrity, and he dared to speak out. During the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Li Gang served in the shogunate of Qi Wang Yu Wenxian. Zhou Xuandi Yu Wenyun summoned Qi Wang's aides into the palace and ordered them to fabricate charges and frame Yu Wenxian. Li Gang vowed to die.

But since he was assisted by Lu, the king of Qi, Yu Wenxian was unjustly killed by Yu Wenyun.

During Yu Wenxian's lifetime, all the staff scattered, and only Li Gang pushed Yu Wenxian's body away from Chang'an in a cart, and wept for him to be buried in the grave.

Yang Jian respected him as a man. After making Yang Yong the crown prince, he appointed Li Gang as the crown prince to wash horses, and he was an official of the East Palace to assist Yang Yong.

But Yang Yong's life was unrestrained, and Li Gang persuaded him several times, which was disgusted by Yang Yong.

Not only did Li Gang offend the crown prince, but he also had a bad relationship with Yang Su and Su Wei. This time Yang Jian wanted to select important ministers to assist Cui Che, and the two recommended Li Gang to drive him out of Chang'an.

Yang Jian asked Yang Yong, and Yang Yong didn't hesitate at all. He had already disliked this person.

A while ago, I entertained the courtiers of the East Palace, and ordered Tang Ling, the concubine of the left, to play the pipa to help the fun.

This Li Gang actually said that Tang Lingze, as an official of the East Palace, used himself as a kabuki to perform lewd voices, and asked him to punish Tang Lingze for a good banquet, and Li Gang disturbed the atmosphere.

Now that Yang Jian asked him if he would let Li Gang go, he was very willing.

Cui Che and Li Gang walked out of Miyagi side by side, Li Gang suddenly said:

"It's still early, if you have nothing to do, Director Cui might as well follow me to see Chong'er."

Cui Che said in a deep voice:
"Don't dare to ask your ears, but stick to your wishes."

Outside Daxing City, Cui Che and Li Gang stood in front of Li Chong's grave.

He and Li Chong fought side by side in Baidao, Cui Che is now hugging his lovely wife, worshiping the governor of Qingzhou as an official, and the sky is skyrocketing.

But Li Chong was with withered grass, which made Cui Che feel emotional.

"Back then, Chong'er stayed at home, and other people avoided him, fearing that he would get into trouble. Only Cui Lang came to visit him. If he could be friends with Cui Lang, Chong'er's life would not be in vain."

Li Gang caressed Li Chong's tombstone. He was only 37 years old and already had gray temples.

Cui Che sighed:
"Brother Chongjie took good care of Cui. I just knew that Brother Chongjie had a strong temper, so I went to find him to drink to relieve my worries, but I never thought about it!"

Cui Che and Li Gang stood in front of the grave for a long time before returning to the city.

The next day, on the square outside the palace gate, the people of Daxing surrounded the open space with three floors inside and three floors outside. If Cui Che and Pei Xiu hadn't occupied their seats early, they might not have been able to squeeze in.

Watching the execution has always been a lively event that the people love to see, especially the former Qingzhou governor, who is about to be beheaded and sentenced to death.

It is always a comforting thing to see the downcast appearance of a once high and powerful person, especially this person has committed many evils and his actions are heinous.

"Mother! The child is unfilial! I can no longer serve you! Please forgive the child!"

Yan Rong's hands were tied behind his back, but he still wept and kowtowed to the old woman in front of him.

The old woman also burst into tears.

Pei Xiu was moved and said:
"So this Yan Rong is also a dutiful son."

"So what about a filial son! A filial son can prostitute his wife and daughter, and kill them indiscriminately!"

Cui Che snorted coldly, what he hates the most is the concept of the ancients, even if this person is full of crimes, as long as he is a filial son, it seems that the guilt will be reduced by three points.

Anyone who is not a filial son and grandson these days, if you don't believe me, dig Cui Jishu out of the ground and ask him whether Brother Che is filial or not.

See if Cui Jishu dares to say no.
