On the occasion of rebirth Zhou Sui

Chapter 121 Inspector Wei Yi
A bright moon hung in the night sky, Cui Che opened the window, the evening wind blew, and the candles flickered.

Yang Lihua got out of bed with her long hair loose, took Cui Che's arm, and leaned her head on his shoulder.

"Until today, I feel that I and Cui Lang have become a real husband and wife."

Cui Che reached out and gently stroked Yang Lihua's face:

"Why didn't you tell me earlier."

Yang Lihua lowered her eyebrows and said shyly:
"Cui Lang has a promise first, so what can I say about my concubine?"

Cui Che's right hand slid down Yang Lihua's cheek, lifting her chin:

"Since you have passed the ceremony of the Duke of Zhou, as you said, you have become a real husband and wife. From now on, if you have something to think about, don't hide it in your heart anymore. You can tell me everything."

After finishing speaking, she wanted to kiss her red lips, but Yang Lihua broke away.

"No! Dirty!"

Cui Che seemed to have remembered something, and said guiltily:
"I didn't consider your feelings before, and it was really abrupt to act like that."

Yang Lihua shook her head and said:
"My husband, don't blame yourself. I don't feel wronged by being able to serve Cui Lang. I just ask my husband not to mention this matter to my sisters."

Cui Che nodded when he heard that, a lady must have the dignity of a lady in front of others, even if it was with Miaorong, Mu Xieli, and Yuchi Chifan, he would keep his mouth shut about interesting things in the boudoir.

"I'll fetch water for you to rinse your mouth."

In the early morning of the next day, after Yang Lihua helped Cui Che wash up, she went to pay her respects to Mrs. Feng and Cui Zhaorong alone. The two turned away the maidservant and asked Yang Lihua if she and Cui Che had performed Zhou Gong's ceremony last night.

Yang Lihua's pretty face was flushed, and she nodded her head while restraining her embarrassment.

Only then did Old Madam Feng let out a long sigh of relief, she was afraid that her grandson would be obedient and disobedient, if Cui Zhaorong hadn't stopped her last night, she would have planned to let a maid attend the room.

The female family members of Cui's mansion let go of their concerns, and Cui Che was also secretly happy for the upcoming governor of the three states.

The four prefectures under the administration of Qingzhou General Manager's Mansion, besides Cui Che himself serving as the governor of Qingzhou, the candidates for the governors of the other three prefectures have also been settled.

According to the news from Daxing City, Yang Jian ordered Yu Wenkai, the designer of Daxing City, to be the governor of Gwangju.

Yu Wenkai is the designer of Daxing City, and his brother is Yu Wenxin who commanded the army to shoot arrows at the melon-eating crowd during the Xiangzhou War.

The governor of Juzhou was Yuan Biao, a former minister of the Northern Qi Dynasty. Yuan Biao was the son of Yuan Zigong, a famous general of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, and served Zhou after the death of Qi.

The governor of Jiaozhou came from Wei Yi of Jingzhao Webster.

These three candidates are undoubtedly in Cui Che's mind.

The first is Yu Wenkai, governor of Gwangju. As the first foreman of the Sui Dynasty, whenever there is a big project, he will always be temporarily transferred, and state affairs will naturally fall into the hands of Shi Peixiu, governor of Gwangju.

Yuanbiao, the governor of Juzhou, is 64 years old this year, and his energy is low, and he also needs to rely on the assistance of the long history Huang Baiji.

Due to the lack of people, Cui Che did not seek the post of governor of Jiaozhou, but he never thought that it was his old acquaintance Wei Yi who came to take up the post.

On the seventh day of February in the fourth year of Kaihuang (584), Wei Yi, who was nearly fifty years old, came to Dongyang City with his wife and concubine, intending to pay a visit to Cui Che, the governor of Qingzhou, before taking office in Jiaozhou.

Seeing that face that had not been seen for a long time but becoming more and more handsome from a distance, Wei Yi was filled with emotion for a moment.

At the beginning when his uncle Wei Xiaokuan was fighting to put down the rebellion between Yuchi and Jiong, he and his elder brother Wei Wei followed and served around.

And Cui Che was valued by Wei Xiaokuan, so he stayed by his side, euphemistically calling him a guard with him.

At first, Wei Yi didn't know why his uncle, such a cautious person, looked at a treasonous criminal differently, but he met him more times and became acquainted.

It wasn't until Cui Che was escorted to Beijing, exonerated with a piece of "Ping Chen Ce", was conscripted by Yang Jian to join the army, and became friends with Yang Guang, who was rumored to have an old grudge, that Wei Yi suddenly realized.

No wonder Uncle treats Cui Che so close, Yu Chijiong's defeat was not wronged, and the person in charge of the army's logistics is actually the enemy's internal support, it would be strange if he could succeed.

Since then, Wei Yi and Cui Che have been in closer contact. Even though they are officials in different places, they often exchange letters, and their relationship has grown stronger.

Of course, there is another layer of relationship between the two as a bond.

"Zicheng! It's been a long time no see, but he's grown a lot!"

"Duke Wei still looks the same."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, before the two could reminisce about the past, a woman came out of the carriage behind Wei Yi, who was his wife.

When Cui Che saw the woman, he hurriedly saluted and said:
"My nephew pays a visit to my cousin."

Feng Baoyan didn't know how to address Cui Che for a moment, and finally called him by his name:
"Zicheng doesn't need to be too polite, how is your aunt doing recently?"

"I'm worried about my cousin, grandma is in good health and is waiting for you two in the mansion."

Cui Che replied.

It turned out that this Feng Baoyan was the niece of Cui Che's grandmother, the second daughter of Mrs. Feng's second brother Feng Zihui, and the second sister of Feng Deyi.

Feng Baoyan first married Lou Dingyuan, a relative of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and became Princess Linhuai.

Lou Dingyuan was slandered 11 years ago for participating in Nan'an Wang Gao Sihao's rebellion. In order to protect his family, he had to hang himself to death.

That is, the rebellion that Cui Che's father Cui Changjun, uncle Cui Jingxuan and others were involved in.

Wei Yifa's wife died early. After following Wei Xiaokuan to quell the Yuchijiong Rebellion and stationed in Yecheng, Wei Yi got acquainted with Feng Baoyan and married her soon after.

The three exchanged pleasantries outside the city for a while, before Wei Yi and Feng Baoyan followed Cui Che into the city.

When old lady Feng saw her niece again, she was naturally overjoyed, and the cousins ​​Feng Baoyan and Cui Zhaorong seemed to have endless things to say.

Cui Che introduced Yang Lihua to Wei Yi and his wife again.

Don't look at Yang Lihua's morning and evening meditation every day, and pay respects to Mrs. Feng and Cui Zhaorong.

But in the end it was the eldest princess, when Wei Yi and his wife saw her, they still had to kneel down and salute her.

"Please hurry up, since the two of you are the elders of your husband, there is no need to perform this great gift."

Yang Lihua helped Feng Baoyan up, and Cui Che also helped Wei Yi.

After seeing the ceremony, the female relatives stayed in the backyard to talk, while Cui Che and Wei Yi went to the wing.

"Che is well aware of Duke Wei's talent, and there is no need for Cui to worry about governance, but the sage attaches great importance to salt. Shaocai (Pei Xiu) organized the reclamation of 200 mu of beach land in Jiaozhou, and he needs to donate [-] million hu of salt to the imperial court every year. , there must be absolutely no mistakes in this matter, otherwise the sage's crimes, you and I can't afford it."

Cui Che exhorted carefully.

Hearing this, Wei Yi frowned deeply. He leaned closer and said softly:

"Zicheng, tell me the truth, can this field really produce a hundred dendrobium per mu?"

Cui Che nodded and said:
"Don't worry, Wei Gong, this matter is absolutely true."

After receiving Cui Che's affirmative answer, Wei Yi finally expressed his thoughts:
"Since the profit of salt is so huge, why don't you and I open the beach fields privately, and sell salt across the sea to Goguryeo, Silla, Baekje and other places!"

Cui Che seemed to see the flames of greed burning in Wei Yi's eyes.

He didn't doubt that Wei Yi was trying to test himself. This old boy will be the governor of Yingzhou in the future. With the convenience of his position, he will run a large business, trade with Goguryeo, Kumoxi, Khitan, Turkic and other tribes, and accumulate a huge family fortune.

　Yuan Biao should have resigned due to illness at this time, but the plot needs to be modified.
