Chapter 139
Seven years ago, Cui Che escaped from Guanzhong and went to Yecheng to join Cui Dana.

During the period, he went back to Boling, and after obtaining the consent of his grandmother, he spent all the family's floating wealth and recruited the current three thousand cavalry.

Since then, he has never returned to Anping County.

It is said that riches and nobles need to return home, but Cui Che is not doing it for showing off, but to connect with clansmen whom he has not seen for a long time.

Surrounded by three thousand cavalry, Cui Che arrived outside Anping City.

I saw a crowd of people at the gate of the city, and the third room could be said to have come out in full force to meet them.

Cui Che saw the tall-headed old men in the front row, he didn't dare to neglect, got off his horse immediately, and greeted everyone.

Among these people, there are many elders of their own, no matter how powerful they are, they cannot lose their etiquette.

Everyone lamented that Cui Che had grown into an adult, and he was no longer as childish as before.

Cui Che introduced his wife and children to the clansmen again, and everyone hurriedly saluted Yang Lihua.

Yang Lihua saw that many of them had thick eyebrows to hide their ugliness, so she couldn't help worrying about her husband's and son's eyebrows.

The Taiyuan Wang family has rosacea, and the Boling Cui family is no different. The disease has been passed down from generation to generation, which can cause eyebrows to fall out.

When Cui Che drew eyebrows for Yang Lihua, he would joke that it was an ancestral handicraft.

A lot of time was wasted outside the city gate, and it was already dusk when Cui Che took the Bodhisattva slaves to the ancestral hall to worship the ancestors.

When resting at night, Yang Lihua and Cui Che mentioned the serious illness of the Cui family.

Cui Che didn't take it to heart at all.

This is a genetic disease, yes, but not everyone will lose their eyebrows, at least he feels that he will not be caught.

The next day, Cui Che successively visited the elders of the other six families.

The Cui family of Boling said it was a whole, but in reality the seven households were not all as close as a family.

The first, second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth rooms are all descendants of Cui Yi, secretary supervisor of Houyan, but Cui Yi was a person more than 200 years ago, let alone a blood relationship that is farther away An bungalow.

In the past 200 years, Qifang worked together to improve the prestige of the clan, making the Boling Cui clan the number one clan in Shandong.

But there are also many conflicts between them. Not all Cui people are happy to see Cui Che's rise.

It's just that Cui Che's firm foothold in the court is indeed of great benefit to the entire clan.

Just like when Cui Che first arrived in Guanzhong, he was taken care of by the second house Cui Xuanyou and others.

The houses are in their hometown in Anping, and for the sake of profit distribution, some disputes in private are harmless.

But if they go out, they have to help each other. If Cui Xuanyou was worried that Cui Che would gain a foothold in the court and make the third house rise, so he suppressed the younger ones, this is the way to cut himself off from the clan.

Now that Cui Che has returned to Anping, he has always maintained a humble attitude towards the elders and elders of the various families. He is young and in a high position but has no arrogance, which has also won the favor of many people.

He stayed in Anping County for two days, and while deepening his relationship with the people in the third house, he also had a lot of contact with the other six houses.

It's just that Cui Che didn't recruit staff among the clan.

Talented people, with the family background of the Cui family in Boling, most of them have already become officials in the local area, so there is no need for Cui Che to worry about them.

Besides, Cui Che didn't want to give Yang Jian the impression of being nepotism and giving and receiving in private.

After bidding farewell to everyone, Cui Che left Anping County and took up his post in Ji County under the escort of three thousand cavalry soldiers.

Youzhou General Manager's Mansion governs fifty towns in six prefectures. The so-called towns are not villages and towns of later generations, but military towns guarding the border.

Of course, the military town here cannot be as large as the Six Towns of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

On the way to Youzhou, Cui Che had been thinking about his attitude towards Fan Yang and Mrs. Lu.

The Lu family of Fanyang and the Cui family of Boling belong to the same five surnames and seven clans, and lived in Zhuo County, Youzhou (Zhuozhou, Hebei).

Shi Tangang, a native of the Northern Qi Dynasty, designated one of Fanyang Lu's families as the head of Jiamen in "Shandong Scholar-bureaucrat Classification".

Among them, Cui Jishu, Cui Che's grandfather, is also mentioned: "First Cui Ang, second Cui Jishu, and Qizhou Cui Guang." '

It is said that the Boling Cui family and the Qinghe Cui family are the most expensive of these three branches.

Cui Ang and Cui Jishu are the second of the three Cui in Boling. Cui Guang comes from the Cui family of Qinghe and used to be the Dazhong Zheng of Qizhou.

However, "Lei Li" written by Li Gongxun believes that in terms of family status, Cui Kai is the first, and Ji Shu is the latter.

The brothers Cui Hongdu and Cui Hongsheng who are now in high positions are the descendants of Cui Kai.

In any case, Brother Che'er's grandfather has confirmed the name of the second child.

Of course, this is all the old calendar in the past. At least Fan Yang and Lu's family can no longer be praised as the leader of Jiamen no matter which one they belong to.

Aristocratic families are used to betting on both sides in troubled times. In the Western Wei Dynasty and the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Lu's children also became officials. Among them, Lu Guang, the Lord of Yanjun, taught the hero Yu Wenyong, the Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and became the emperor of the Northern Zhou Dynasty.

It's just that after Lu Guang's death, his son Lu Ben played a good hand of cards to a pulp.

As early as the reign of Emperor Wu of Zhou, Lu Ben knew people with his eyes, and he had already made friends with Yang Jian in secret. After the death of Emperor Xuan of Zhou, it was Lu Ben who led the army and deterred all the officials, so that Yang Jian took power calmly.

After the establishment of the Sui Dynasty, Lu Bende was awarded the title of Sanqi Changshi, and concurrently served as the prince Zuo Shuzi, Zuo Lingjun, and Right General. His investment in the early years has won rich returns.

Such a smart man was dazzled by the desire for power, because he was dissatisfied with Gao Jiong and Su Wei taking power.

Lu Ben then joined forces with Liu Fang, Shangzhu Guoyuanxie, Li Xun, Huazhou governor Zhang Bin and others, one of the duo who were killed, to plan to abolish Gao Jiong and Su Wei, and the five of them would jointly take charge of the government.

At the same time, it is planned to abolish the crown prince and push Jin Wang Yang Guang to the throne.

After the defeat, Yang Guang, who was in Jinyang at the time, was so frightened that he often scolded these five people in front of Cui Che, who was then the governor of the mansion.

Yang Jian delved into the matter, and Liu Fang, Li Xun, and Yuan Xie pushed the matter to Lu Ben and Zhang Bin.

The ministers requested that the two be executed, but Yang Jiannian thought of their past achievements, exempted them from the death penalty, and demoted their jobs to the people.

Soon, Zhang Bin died of depression, but Lu Ben was able to be employed as the inspector Tai Changqing, but after all he could not repair the relationship with Yang Jian, and was sent to delete the rhythm.

Never regain the power of the past.

If it weren't for the fact that there was no one in the court, Yan Rong would not have dared to humiliate Lu's children wantonly when he was promoted to the governor of Youzhou more than ten years later.

Cui Che came from the Cui clan of Boling, one of the five surnames and seven clans. Of course, it was impossible to learn the rude methods of Yan Rong, a Xianbei warrior, and humiliate Fan Yang and Lu's children as petty officials and soldiers.

How to win over Fan Yang and Lu Shi is just one of the problems that Cui Che needs to face.

The situation in Youzhou is much more complicated than that in Qingzhou. Yang Jian hoped that Cui Che could carefully handle the relationship with Kumoxi, Khitan and other tribes, so as not to affect the grand strategy of attacking south and defending north.

But Cui Che is also full of selfishness, intending to establish his own prestige among these tribes.

As for Goguryeo, it does not border on the territory under the jurisdiction of the Youzhou Governor's Mansion, and there is Wei Yi, the governor of Yingzhou, between the two sides.

 Today is gone. During the day, I was conceiving the plot of Youzhou, and I didn't even have time to code the old book.
