Chapter 180
In the middle of April in the ninth year of Kaihuang (589), Cui Che and Yang Guang bid farewell to Jinyang and went to Hengzhou.

Lan Khan Yong Yulu, the nomadic East Turkic capital between Dai and Hengzhou, was notified of his itinerary by Cui Che, and secretly went to the border to meet him.

Last year, Yong Yulu used Cui Che's strategy to set up many flags of the Sui army. Qin Yu assumed that he had the help of the Sui army, and he was terrified, and the people in his tribe were also panicked.

The name of the person, the shadow of the tree, Cui Che's behavior of using the Western Turks to win the battle has already made the grassland tribes frightened. Qin Yushe didn't know that Cui Che had gone south at that time, and mistakenly thought that he and Dulan Khan joined forces to attack, so they didn't fight. Since chaos.

In the end, Qin Yu was defeated and was captured and killed by his brother Yong Yulu.

Now inside the Eastern Turks, only Tuli Khan Rangan is still disobedient.

Yong Yulu came here to join forces with Cui Che to defeat Rangan.

It was only he who expressed his intentions, Cui Che shook his head and said:
"I know that the Khan has great ambitions, but the saint does not want to see the Turks return to unity. If I send troops, I will be punished.

"Previously the Great Sui conscripted an army of 52 to destroy Chen. Now that the land in the south of the Yangtze River has been newly acquired, the strength is even stronger. If we send troops to the north and help dye Gan, can the Khan resist?"

Yong Yulu was silent, and he also knew that what Cui Che said was true. He defeated Qin Yushe earlier because the main force of the Sui army went south, and now that he was the leader of the army, how could Yang Jian watch him unify the Eastern Turks.

Moreover, even if the Sui army did not intervene in the Monan War, he was not sure of victory against Shangtuli Khan, so Yong Yulu had to give up this plan, and felt more resentment towards Yang Jian, the nominal father-in-law .

Cui Che and Yong Yulu talked about their old relationship. Originally, Yong Yulu wanted to escort Cui Che to Hengzhou, but Cui Che refused.

He has [-] cavalrymen under his command, so there is no need for Yong Yulu to make that trip, it is better to go back to the tribe earlier, so as not to be noticed by Xin Ketun.

At the same time, another conspiracy broke out in Daxing City.

A descendant of the Yuan and Wei Dynasties, Yang Jian's childhood friend Gong Xie of Le'an County, because of his close relationship with another classmate Wang Yi, Yuan Xie was also alienated by Yang Jian after Wang Yi was gifted to death.

On the [-]th day of the leap month, Yuan Xie, Yuan Pang of Shangkai Prefecture, Tian Luan of Linze Hou, Shang Yi and Qi Xu were accused of rebelling against each other.

However, since Yang Jian ruled the world, his imperial orders have become more and more severe. He set up a court staff to order his cronies to monitor internal and external officials. people, and the executioner will be killed if he swings his staff lightly.

It's just that the journey is too far away, Cui Che will not be able to know these news for a while.

On May [-]th, the Boling cavalry escorted the carriage back to Ji County, Youzhou.

Li Gang, Liu Fang and other trusted officials came to greet him one after another. Cui Che first praised the staff for the orderly affairs in Youzhou during Liu Fang's stay.

After all, they are all civil and military talents carefully selected by themselves. As long as there is no internal disharmony, the governance of Youzhou is still a matter of hand.

Everyone also congratulated Cui Che on his succession to the Shangzhu Kingdom and Feng Yan Guogong.

Among the staff who came to greet him, Cui Che also saw a short figure, Fang Xuanling, the son of Secretary Fang Yanqian, who was only 11 years old.

Cui Che called him to him, and asked Fang Yanqian:

"A Qiao looks like a teenager now, can we make a marriage?"

Fang Xuanling's name is Fang Qiao, and his style name is Xuanling.

Fang Yanqian smiled and said:
"At the beginning of the year, I have already discussed marriage with Lu's daughter, and we can get married in a few years."

Cui Che was filled with regret when he heard the words, and he also planned to choose a woman from the third family of the Cui family in Boling to marry Fang Xuanling as his wife, so as to bring the relationship between the two families closer.

However, he could also understand why Fang Yanqian was in such a hurry to agree to the marriage. No matter what, the Fan Yang Lu family was also one of the five surnames and seven clans. Instead, it moved to the branch of Licheng.

From Fang Yanqian's point of view, his son's ability to marry a Lu family's daughter is considered a high priority.

Cui Che has an impression of Lu's daughter, she is also a ruthless person.

When Fang Xuanling was not making a fortune, he was ill and thought he was about to die. Lu himself gouged out one eye to show his heart and want to keep the chastity for him.

With such a ruthless wife, Fang Xuanling was also tightly controlled, and she was more afraid of guilt than Yang Jian, and Lu's jealousy was even more comparable to that of Dugu Jialuo.

It is said that jealousy between lovers is related to this couple.

At that time, Li Shimin gave Fang Xuanling two beauties, but Lu refused to let the two daughters in. He pointed at Fang Xuanling, who was the prime minister, and yelled at him, and even fought with a feather duster.

After Li Shimin heard about it, he gave a jar of wine, claiming that it was poisoned wine, and he either drank the poisoned wine or allowed Fang Xuanling to take a concubine.

Lu Shi was heartbroken, took off the cover and poured it into his belly, he would rather die than let Fang Xuanling take a concubine, only later did he realize that it was vinegar.

With such a fierce wife, it makes my scalp tingle to think about changing Brother Che.

Cui Che asked again:
"Since the marriage has been decided, can you give Aqiao a name?"

Fang Yanqian replied truthfully:
"The word Xuanling has been taken, and Qiao Er said that in the future, he will use words to walk in the world."

Cui Che was very annoyed, and thought:
You, Fang Yanqian, have so many things to do, you can't let me give him a wife's name, and you can't have a sense of marginality!

Wait, it seems that Fang Yanqian is the real father.

Cui Che scratched his head and said with a smile:
"With Ah Qiao's intelligence, the name of Fang Xuanling will definitely resound throughout the world in the future!"

Having received Cui Che's praise, Fang Xuanling blushed with excitement.

Just as Cui Che said, Fang Xuanling showed intelligence that was different from ordinary people since she was a child, which won the attention of Cui Che and Fang Yanqian.

Especially Fang Yanqian, he didn't treat Fang Xuanling like a child, he didn't hide anything from him, and even followed his advice.

Fang Xuanling knew a lot about Cui Che and Fang Yanqian's plans, and she always had respect for Cui Che. After all, Fang Yanqian had assisted Cui Che for six years, and Fang Xuanling had been by his side for six years. How can it be an exception.

After exchanging greetings for a while, the group went back to the general manager's mansion, while Zhang Lihua was sent to Cui's mansion first.

Zhang Lihua was gifted by Yang Jian through Yang Guang, so naturally she couldn't be a concubine without a status, and naturally she couldn't live in another courtyard with those two Turkic Ketuns.

When they came to the general manager's mansion, all the officials took their positions, Cui Che ordered Fang Xuanling to be summoned, and said to everyone:

"In the second year of Daxiang (580), Cui was eleven years old and joined the army for the sage's prime minister's office. Now Fang Xuanling, the son of Fang Silu, is the same age as me at that time, and he is not as smart as Cui was. I intend to let him attend. Listen to our discussion, what do you guys think?"

Everyone has no objection. Everyone has been together for several years. They all know that Fang Yanqian's son is a child prodigy. He is only eleven years old. He is good at poetry and prose. Compared with Cui Che who is the same age, I dare not underestimate him.
