On the occasion of rebirth Zhou Sui

Chapter 166 Thousand Bulls Prepare Your Body (Part [-])
Li Min had no doubts that Yang Lihua could ask for the Zhu Kingdom of the second grade for him, but how could a son-in-law be ranked alongside his father-in-law in court, so he politely declined.

Hearing this, Cui Che opened his eyes, glanced at Li Min with admiration, and said:

"Don't listen to your mother-in-law's nonsense. She is ignorant of government affairs. She only thinks that she is a noble if she has a high rank, but she doesn't know that power is the most important thing."

This is almost clearly saying that Yang Lihua has long hair and short knowledge, but Yang Lihua was so angry that she gave Cui Che a hard look, but it was not easy to argue with him in front of her son-in-law.

Li Min didn't dare to agree, if Yang Lihua was really annoyed, the marriage would be ruined, so he could only bite the bullet and say:
"My son-in-law would like to follow the teachings of my father-in-law."

Cui Che nodded slightly, and said in a calm tone:

"After Zhongliang, you have martial arts skills, but after all, you are young and cannot be sent to other towns. The saint may let you serve in the imperial army. Now there is still a vacancy for the post of Zuo Qianniu. If there is no accident, you should take this position job."

It is not difficult to guess this point. Guarding the court does not require high ability, but values ​​loyalty more. Li Min is Yang Lihua's son-in-law, and as Cui Che said, after Zhongliang, there is no better place for him than the Forbidden Army .

Qianniu Beishen originated in the Northern Wei Dynasty, and it was a court guard responsible for the safety of the emperor. It was divided into two parts, controlled by the left and right Qianniu Beishen.

Today's You Qianniu Beishen is Cui Che's old love rival, Li Yuan.

As I said before, the most important thing for the generals of the imperial army is loyalty and personal relationship with the emperor.

Li Yuan's mother, Dugu Shi, is the fourth sister of Queen Dugu Jialuo. With this relationship, Li Yuan, as a nephew, can serve in the Imperial Army.

Li Min believed in Cui Che's words, ever since he knew that he was expected to marry Yu Wen'eying, Li Min asked about Cui Che's experience a lot.

Always make enough preparations in advance to match what you like.

However, the deeper he got to know Cui Che, the more Li Min admired him, almost becoming Brother Che's little fan.

Cui Che continued to exhort:
"Thunder, rain, and dew are all the grace of the king. Don't listen to what your mother-in-law says. No matter what official position the sage bestows on you, you must sincerely thank you. Whatever the sage asks you, you have to answer truthfully, and you can't hide anything."

Before remarrying, Yang Lihua had always regarded herself as the queen mother of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. It was Yang Jian who pulled her face down and eased the relationship between father and daughter. How could she have any political sense.

Now that his father-in-law and mother-in-law disagree, Li Min naturally obeys Cui Che's words.

After finally the carriage became quiet, Li Min glanced at Yuwen Eying who was next to Yang Lihua. Yuwen Eying happened to be watching him secretly.

Cui Che and Yang Lihua saw this scene, they looked at each other and smiled.

Today's social atmosphere is relatively open, and there is no saying that you cannot meet before marriage. Today, Cui Che and his wife brought two people into the palace, so that Yang Jian could have a look at them.

Daxing Palace, side hall.

Yang Jian and his wife naturally couldn't find fault with Li Min.

Marriage was given to the two on the spot. After Li Min and Yuwen Eying thanked each other, Yang Jian asked Yang Lihua:

"Where does Li Min live now?"

Yang Lihua answered truthfully:
"He's just an idiot."

After pondering for a moment, Yang Jian said to Li Min:
"How about I give you the Yitong?"

Yitong is the third division of Yitong, and it is a fifth-rank official position, which is far from the second-rank Zhuguo that Yang Lihua said before.

But Li Min kowtowed immediately:
"Thank you Lord Ron."

Yang Jian was very surprised, he said in surprise:
"The princess has made great contributions to me, and the son-in-law has helped me eliminate border troubles. You are the son-in-law of two people, how can you be satisfied with mere Yitong?"

Li Min recalled that before entering the palace, Cui Che reminded him in the carriage that Yang Jian would answer whatever he asked, and he must not hide anything, so he said truthfully:
"Father-in-law taught the grassroots that thunder, rain, and dew are all the favor of the king, and those who are ministers should be willing to enjoy it. How can they have a long look at Shu?"

Yang Jian laughed loudly when he heard the words, and praised:
"Both of you, Weng and your son-in-law, are sincere gentlemen."

As soon as the words fell, Yang Lihua complained:

"No, it's all about making my daughter a bad person."

Yang Jian wondered:
"What's going on here?"

Yang Lihua did not hide anything:
"Before coming here, my daughter claimed that she would seek the position of Zhu Guo for Min'er, but she was scolded by the son-in-law."

Dugu Jialuo on the side smiled and said:

"This son-in-law is good at everything, but he is too cautious in everything, he doesn't look like a young man anymore."

Cui Che was surprised, how do you know that I am fine, could it be that Yang Lihua slipped his mouth.

But after realizing it, it probably means that his appearance, character, and talent are not related to the affairs of the boudoir, Cui Che said with a wry smile:

"There are three ways to be an official. They are Qing, Shen, and Diligence. Knowing these three, you can keep your position and keep you from being humiliated. The lower officials are more cautious in dealing with things because they are princesses and suddenly appear in the world."

Yang Jian's eyes lit up, and he said with emotion:
"If all the officials in the world can follow the example of the son-in-law and encourage themselves with the three methods, why should I worry?"

After finishing speaking, he said to Li Min:

"Since the princess has promised you the position of the Zhu Kingdom, how can I begrudge the official position and make her break her word."

Li Min declined and said:
"Your Majesty loves and cares, and the people of the grassland are deeply in love with him. However, if he is a son-in-law, how can he be listed with Yue Weng?"

Yang Jian feigned anger and said:

"Just now I was talking about the thunder and rain, it's all due to your grace, now I forgot!"

Yang Lihua quickly reminded:

"Silly boy, hurry up and thank me."

This is Li Min's thanks.

Just like the day when Cui Che married Yang Lihua, Yang Jian played the pipa again, and Li Min danced to thank him.

After playing a piece of pipa, Yang Lihua boasted of Li Min's martial arts again.

When mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, she always looks more and more pleasing to her eyes, just like Dugu Jialuo, who is very satisfied with Cui Che, and Yang Lihua can't help showing off her son-in-law in front of her parents.

Dugu Jialuo was very curious, since he had nothing to do anyway, he asked everyone to go to the school grounds in the palace to see if Li Min was really as capable as Yang Lihua said.

Li Min mounted the imperial horse, used a standard seven-dou riding bow, and shot a pot of arrows. Yang Jian smiled at Cui Che:

"Li Qing's arrow skills are far superior to Cui Qing's in the same year."

Dugu Jialuo said:

"There are often people with outstanding archery skills, but it is hard to find someone who can calm the border troubles for His Majesty."

Yang Lihua echoed:

"How can a daughter's son-in-law compare to a mother's son-in-law?"

Yang Jian smiled and bent over. Dugu Jialuo didn't expect Yang Lihua to say such a sentence, so she couldn't help laughing and said:
"I don't know if you're talking about humility, or you're trying to show off."

Cui Che scratched his head in embarrassment.

When Li Min came back with his horse, Yang Jian also restored the majesty of the king. He praised Li Min's martial arts, and immediately ordered Li Min to prepare for Zuo Qianniu and guard the palace.

This time without Yang Lihua's reminder, Li Min immediately knelt down to thank her, and admired her father-in-law Cui Che even more.
