Chapter 163
Cui Che choked out the phrase 'the minister is lustful', which made Yang Jian lean forward and back with laughter.

In ancient times, the powerful and lustful could not even be called immoral, and even the emperors were happy to see them spend their leisure time on women's bellies.

Instead of accumulating strength and harboring different expectations.

After finally stopping the laughter, Yang Jian finally relented.

Of course he understood Cui Che's concerns. He was worried about the jealousy of the courtiers. He was only 19 years old when he became an official in the Shangzhu Kingdom and became the Duke of the country. No one would be jealous.

Secondly, if there is no seal in the future, Yang Jian would not dare to use him at ease. After all, great achievements are hard to reward, and it is very easy to cause the monarch and his ministers to renounce.

But Cui Che's trip to the fortress was really brilliant. Not only did the Western Turkic people suffer heavy losses, but even the Eastern Turkic Mohe Khan died unexpectedly, causing the East Turkic people to be torn apart.

The previous worries about the rise of the Eastern Turks no longer existed, and the northern frontier troubles were completely eliminated for the southward expedition.

This kind of achievement had to be rewarded, so Yang Jian demoted Cui Che from the county prince to the county prince, but this kind of reward was still dwarfed by Cui Che's achievements.

Yang Jian remembered Cui Che's self-satisfaction, thought for a while, and promised:
"I will raise troops to attack Chen. If I go to Jiankang, I would like to bestow Aiqing with beauty."

There were examples in the early years of rewarding the concubines of the subjugated king to the ministers.

After the fall of the Northern Qi Dynasty, the protagonist of this allusion was displayed on a jade body.

After Yang Jian came to power, he slaughtered the Yuwen clan and rewarded Feng Xiaolian to Li Xun, who was the son of Li Xian and nephew of Grand Master Li Mu.

However, Yu Wenda's concubine is Li Xun's younger sister. In the past, Feng Xiaolian competed with the Li family for favor. Li Xun's mother learned about this and forced Feng Xiaolian to commit suicide.

Cui Che did not expect that Yang Jian would make amends for him in this respect, but he also respectfully thanked him.

After discussing meritorious deeds, he would naturally be punished, one yard for one yard, summoned the envoy of Xi Ren to the court, and in front of him, Yang Jian sternly reprimanded Cui Che for his injustice, which made Xi resentful.

Cui Che was terrified, and hurriedly knelt down and apologized.

Yang Jian said in a deep voice:
"Since you are convicted of the crime, I don't want to delve into the matter any further. I will punish you for one year today. Do you have any complaints?"

"Your Majesty has clear rewards and punishments, and my minister is convinced."

After ordering someone to send the Kumoxi envoy away, Yang Jian walked down the imperial steps, helped Cui Che up with a pleasant face, and comforted him:
"Today, against my will, I criticize you harshly. It is really imminent to defeat Chen. King Xi is newly attached. I don't want to cause troubles on the border again. You should understand my difficulties."

Seeing Yang Jian being so courteous, Cui Che's eyes were wet with tears, and he said with emotion:

"I am your Majesty's son-in-law. I have both the righteousness of the monarch and my ministers and the private relationship between my husband and my son-in-law. How dare I hold resentment in my heart? I only hope that your majesty will live forever, and I will try my best to serve my father."

Hearing this, Yang Jian patted Cui Che's shoulder, expressing emotion again and again.

After exiting the hall, Cui Che's face was still wet with tears, but he complained in his heart that his father-in-law had deducted his salary.

Fortunately, without the two big burdens of salt soldiers and salt workers, Cui Che no longer has such a big financial pressure.

The output of Boling Manor can be used to support [-] cavalry soldiers, and it is not a big problem for Yang Jian to work for a year. Anyway, his daughter Yang Lihua has been subsidizing the family for these years.

After half a year without seeing his wife, children, and stepdaughter, Cui Che stopped by the Ministry of Officials to pay a visit to Su Wei, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and then returned home in a hurry.

When Cui Che entered the city, he had already sent Li Qing back to the mansion to report the news. When the four-year-old Bodhisattva slave learned that his father was about to return, he couldn't wait to run outside the mansion to look forward to it.

When Cui Che led the horse slowly came into sight, and the Bodhisattva slave galloped over with his short legs, Cui Che picked up his son and said with a smile:
"I've grown a lot taller and a lot heavier than before."

The Bodhisattva slave beamed with joy, and put his arms around Cui Che's neck and refused to let go, so Cui Che had no choice but to carry him all the way back to the backyard.

Yang Lihua and Yuwen Eying were waiting in the backyard.

The family reunited and talked a lot about themselves. Yang Lihua glanced at Yuwen Eying before saying to Cui Che:

"A few days ago, my father issued a decree to allow my concubine to choose a son-in-law for E Ying among the prince's children, but my concubine is interested in Li Min, the son of Duke Guangzong, what does your husband think?"

When Yuwen Eying heard that her parents were going to discuss marriage for her, she blushed and didn't want to wait any longer, so she ran out of the yard.

Cui Che was silent when he heard the words.

Li Min was 12 years old at the time, about the same age as Yuwen Eying. His father, the Duke of Guangzong, was Li Chong, who was the governor of Youzhou and died fighting the Turks.

After Zhongliang, her family background is the most in the dynasty.

Because Li Mu, who was the general manager of Bingzhou at that time, chose to support Yang Jian among Yang Jian and Yu Chijiong, and more than a hundred members of the whole family were awarded official titles when they were adults. Zhu Guo of the same level as Cui Che.

It's just that Li Min is not of Li Mu's blood, but the grandson of his brother Li Xian, and he was young at the time, so he is still white today.

After a long time, Cui Che thought about it and said:
"When the moon is full, it loses, and when the water is full, it overflows. Now that the Li Min family is prominent in the world, its momentum may not last long."

Of course he knew that Yang Lihua in the original time and space was Li Min and Yuwen Eying who matched, because of this marriage, Yuwen Eying was implicated in the injustice case and was killed by poisoned wine given by his uncle Yang Guang.

Yang Lihua did not take Cui Che's reminder to heart:

"Shen Guogong (Li Mu) made great contributions to his father, and he got the iron certificate of the alchemy. His father allowed him to worship him without name, and he would never die. When Shen Guogong passed away the year before last, his father even paid homage to him with the ceremony of a prison. He is so favored. How could his family be ruined?"

Tailao is the cattle, sheep, and pigs used by the emperor or princes to sacrifice to the country.

Cui Che thought to himself: After Yang Guang came to power, why not sacrifice to Li Mu again with the ceremony of a prison, or kill his whole family in a few years.

But seeing that Yang Lihua had made up her mind, Cui Che didn't object any more. With her presence, she could still make her stepdaughter poisoned to death by Yang Guang.

With Cui Che's permission, Yang Lihua immediately sent someone to Li's residence to deliver a letter, asking Li Min to come to the residence tomorrow and let Cui Che take a good look at this future son-in-law.

After talking about her daughter's marriage, Yang Lihua mentioned the Bodhisattva slave again:
"The Bodhisattva Slave is getting older, so it's time to choose a name for him. You can't always call him by your baby name."

The Bodhisattva slave sitting obediently in Cui Che's arms raised his head and said to his parents:

"Qubing! I want to call Cui Qubing!"

He has been fond of riding horses since he was a child. Since his father Cui Che led the army all the year round, he is more interested in military affairs than literature.

I don't know who heard the story of Huo Qubing, and I admired him, so I clamored to name myself Cui Qubing.

Cui Che tapped his little head lightly, and said bluntly:
"Not suitable."

Parents want their children to live a long and healthy life, and Huo Qubing died young, so how could Cui Che satisfy the Bodhisattva slave?

Besides, even if Cui Che agreed, Yang Lihua would not agree.

But the Bodhisattva slave was not forgiving, Cui Che had no choice but to suggest:

"The word "Qubing" is definitely not good, so why not call it "Qiji."

 The third one was brought, although it was a bit late.

  Tomorrow is going to write a side story, and Zhou Sui should also have three chapters to guarantee the bottom line.
