On the occasion of rebirth Zhou Sui

Chapter 127
Cui Che was not surprised that Fang Yanqian got acquainted with Zhao Mu and Wang Dangwan. After the fall of the Northern Qi Dynasty, this old boy traveled around to contact each other in a vain attempt to restore the country.

He also knew that when Zhao Mu and Wang Dangwan approached him, Fang Yanqian must have revealed some inside information to them.

Fang Yanqian joined the army as a recorder, and Cui Che's close staff must know more than outsiders, which made Zhao Mu and Wang Dangwan believe that Cui Che had great ambitions.

Hearing Zhao Mu's generous speech, Cui Che still coldly refused:
"If the two of you came here to revive the Gao family, I'm afraid you have found the wrong person. Cui's grandfather was an official in the former Qi Dynasty and was a veteran of the Seven Dynasties. He Enyi, you want me to risk the lives of the whole family!"

Zhao Mu and Wang Dangwan looked at each other and said helplessly:
"Host master, alas! I am ashamed of the venerable, its absurdity and tyranny, and Zhao is unwilling to say more. Nowadays, most of the former Qi clans are ancient, only a few are worthy of the land of Shu, and they are isolated from their homeland. We have long since given up The idea of ​​national restoration."

Hearing this, Cui Che's expression softened, and the gloomy face just now was just intentional.

He didn't want to get involved in this group of people's dream of rejuvenating the country. Even if one day the flag of rebellion was raised, it would be his own initiative, and he would never respect Emperor Chu Yi or King Xiao Ming.

Picking up the teapot, he poured [-]% tea for everyone, Cui Che said with a smile:
"It's really gratifying that the two of you can let go of your obsession."

At this time, Dong Jing, who was watching, finally spoke:
"Duke Ming was born in a prominent family, he has great ambitions and good plans, he is a hero in the world, how can he stay under others for a long time.

"Shandong gentry, who have been blue and purple for many generations, and have a history of brilliance, how can they be subdued by the blood-drinking people in Guanxi!

"Duke Ming bears the hope of the scholars in Shandong. He should accumulate strength and wait for the opportunity. If there is any change in the world, he will raise his arms and shout. The heroes of Shandong will surely respond. The people of Guandong will eat the pot of milk to welcome the Duke of Ming." !"

Although after Yang Jian usurped the country, he restored the Han surname and restored the Han rites for the nobles of Guan Long, but in the eyes of these former Northern Qi officials, it was nothing more than a crown of monkeys, and their political frustration did not prevent them from despising them at the cultural level. Guanlong nobles.

Cui Che understood this mentality best, and only in this way could they seek psychological comfort.

When Li Yuan married the daughter of the Dou family, he often scolded in private that this barbarian who was born in a poor household in Zhao County, or Gao Che begged for Li's family, dared to pretend to be the Li family in Longxi.

As for the truth about Li Yuan's clan, Cui Che didn't know at all, but he just wanted to believe that the other party was shamelessly impersonating, so that he could vent his hatred of taking his wife.

If Dong Jing didn't say anything, Cui Che's face changed drastically when he opened his mouth. He said angrily:

"The sage's daughter-in-law Che, how dare you say such unfaithful and unfilial words to me!"

"Dong came here to assist Duke Ming to accomplish his great cause. If his heart is not for human beings, Duke Ming can beat me to death with a stick!"

After all, Dong Jing closed his eyes and waited for death.

Zhao Mu and Wang Dangwan also said generously:

"We sincerely agree with each other and want to help Minggong's great cause. If Minggong refuses to accept it and ask for a quick death, then the scholars in the world will know Minggong's loyalty to the emperor!"

Fang Yanqian anxiously looked at Cui Che frequently.

Cui Che returned a reassuring look, and then a bright smile bloomed on his face:

"The three of you have come from afar, how could Che harm you, please have some tea."

Cui Che handed them teacups one by one, and then said:

"The people in Kansai dominate the government, and the people in Shandong are hard to pay for their ambitions. This is also what Cui hates.

"Today, Dong Gong's speech was like enlightenment, which made Che see the sun and Mao Sai suddenly opened up.

"The three are not afraid of the danger of killing themselves, risking their lives to vote, and Che dare not lie. Although Che has great ambitions for the world, but now the world is peaceful and the people are happy, so they have to wait for the right time!"

Fang Yanqian sighed:

"The Lord Sui is not a fool, and the national power is also booming. This day is fashionable and I don't know when it will be!"

Dong Jing, Zhao Mu, and Wang Dangwan lamented. Dong Jing raised his arms and shouted when he said that the world had changed. He said it lightly, but he didn't know whether the world would change or not.

Cui Che laughed and said:
"You don't need to be depressed, the world is changing, and you should be on the throne. King Jin and Che are friendly and have a good reputation, but Che knows that he is ungrateful and ungrateful, and he is very happy. If King Jin is the lord of the world, he will abuse the power of the people." , Conquer as you like, the world will definitely be in chaos!"

When the four of them heard this, their faces were filled with joy. Of course they knew the relationship between Cui Che and Yang Guang, so naturally they would not doubt Cui Che's judgment.

"Zhao Mu is willing to assist Duke Ming, to help the King of Jin seize the heir, and to be the vanguard of Duke Ming when the world is in turmoil!"

"Wang Dangwan is the same, willing to die for Duke Ming!"

"Duke Ming has this ambition, how dare Dong Jing spare his efforts!"

Zhao Mu, Wang Dangwan and Dong Jing bowed down and worshiped.

Cui Che was about to help the three of them up, but Fang Yanqian also begged and said:
"Fang Mou entered the Guan and served in the Sui Dynasty, and was repeatedly excluded. Fortunately, Ming Gong was simple and expropriated, and he was able to return to his hometown. If you can remain indifferent, if Mr. Ming does not give up, Fang is willing to do the work of a dog and a horse!"

Cui Che sighed in his heart, the hard work he put in to win over Fang Yanqian was finally not in vain.

He lifted the four of them up and said with emotion:

"With the help of the four sages, Cui is like a fish in water. Today, I, Cui Che, swear that I will live up to the four gentlemen in this life!"

Immediately, Cui Che worshiped Dong Jing as a secretary and joined the army, while Zhao Mu and Wang Dangwan were criminals committed by the imperial court. To be on the safe side, Cui Che changed the names of the two and made them guests of the mansion. talk over.

After accepting Zhao Mu and Wang Dangwan, Cui Che knew that because of their worries, they had premature hair growth and looked old. They looked fifty years old, but they were actually only in their early forties.

He arranged for Dong Jing to be employed, and placed Zhao Mu and Wang Dangwan in Cui's residence. The family members of the two have long since disappeared. When Cui Che learned about this, he ordered people to search secretly.

After more than a year of hard work, they actually found their family members in Hebei and took them to Dongyang for resettlement.

After this incident, Zhao Mu and Wang Dangwan were even more determined to follow Cui Che wholeheartedly, and never thought of restoring Gao Qi.

Of course, these are things to follow.

On the third day of August in the fourth year of Kaihuang (584), Yang Jian agreed to Cui Che's request, thinking that the people suffered from floods and lived in poverty, so he issued an edict to exempt Qingzhou and other places from paying taxes this year.

The decree was issued to the four prefectures of Qing, Jiao, Guang, and Ju, and the people were all jubilant.

Cui Che is certainly not a person who has done good deeds but is willing to remain unknown.

Many rumors began to appear in the streets and alleys, saying that the sage refused at first, but Cui Che fought hard with reason, and even wrote a memorial, and finally begged for the tax exemption for the people of the four prefectures.

After hearing about it, many people came to the governor's mansion to thank them, but Cui Che pushed the credit and refuted the rumors, but the people of the four prefectures believed that it was Cui Che who asked for the favor for them.
