Chapter 188
There are priorities, no matter how urgently you want to talk about life and ideals with Li Jing, it must be done after the face-to-face.

The eunuch in front was urging, Cui Che replied with a smile:

"coming."

The imperial palace is divided into the imperial city and the palace city. The imperial city is where the officials of the three provinces and six ministries work, and the palace city is the residence of the emperor's concubines.

Of course, there are exceptions. After Zhou Xuandi Yu Wenyun's death, Yang Jian became prime minister and took Yu Wenyun's residence in Miyagi, namely Tiantai, as his prime minister's mansion. His rebellious heart was clearly revealed.

Passing by the Guangyang Gate in the south direction of the palace city, Cui Che recalled the grand scene of the triumphant return of the Southern Expedition, where countless soldiers were honored here.

"Father-in-law, you are back."

Li Min, who was guarding Guangyangmen on duty today, said happily when he saw Cui Che.

Cui Che nodded slightly, and confessed:

"I'm in a hurry to meet the Holy Spirit, so I won't talk to you too much. Remember to go to Cui's Mansion for dinner after I'm on duty, and you and my son-in-law will talk about the past slowly."

Cui Che coincides with his wife and daughter.

When Li Min thought of seeing Yuwen Eying, she happily agreed.

Cui Che said goodbye to Li Min, and followed the eunuch to the side hall of Daxing Hall. The eunuch went in first to report, and Cui Che got permission to enter the hall.

He bowed his head and saluted Yang Jian respectfully, until Yang Jian called him to get up, Cui Che raised his head.

Yang Jian and Dugu Jialuo sat on the main seat, Yang Guang stood under His Royal Highness, Yang Jian pretended to be displeased and said:

"Since the son-in-law has returned to Daxing, why didn't he come to pay his respects first, instead he asked me to send someone to call you here."

Cui Che glanced at Yang Guang not far away from the corner of his eye, and explained:
"His Royal Highness King Jin is returning to the court, and I dare not disturb His Majesty and King Jin. I originally wanted to wait for King Jin to leave the palace before meeting with the Princess."

Dugu Jialuo heard the words and reprimanded:

"They're all from my own family, how can the son-in-law see outsiders like this."

Although it was a reproachful tone, Dugu Jialuo had a slight smile on his face.

She gave birth to five daughters, except for the fifth daughter, Princess Lanling, who has not yet married, and has four sons-in-law.

Among the four sons-in-law, Cui Che is her favorite. Not only is he the most outstanding in appearance, he is also capable of both civil and military skills. He can write poems with a pen and lead an army on horseback.

His talent is beyond the reach of several other sons-in-law, such as Li Changya, consort of Princess Xiangguo, and Yuwen Jingli, consort of Princess Guangping.

And Cui Che's wife, Yang Lihua, is her most cherished eldest daughter, Aiwujiwu.

Therefore, she always treats Cui Che with a pleasant face,

It's just that even if Dugu Jialuo only blamed him verbally, Cui Che still had to bow down and apologize:

"Wei Chen is guilty."

Dugu Jialuo shook his head and said:
"You! It's just too formal."

Cui Che respectfully said:
"Etiquette cannot be broken, how dare a humble minister be rude in front of the emperor."

Dugu Jialuo didn't say any more. Today, Yang Jian called Cui Che for business. She just smiled and watched His Highness Yang Guang and Cui Che.

Among the four sons-in-law, she likes Cui Che the most, and among the five sons, Dugu Jialuo prefers Yang Guang even more.

The two have been close since childhood, and some officials reported that King Jin and Duke Yan had had close contacts, but Dugu Jialuo was happy to see the results. Now that she heard that her grandson and granddaughter were engaged, she was even more happy.

And Dugu Jialuo's thoughts also represent Yang Jian's thoughts.

Compared with Jin Wang Yang Guang, the prince Yang Yong's deeds over the years really disappointed Yang Jian.

Yang Guang lived frugally and was not good at decoration. He was in love with the concubine of Jin and raised his eyebrows in court. However, Yang Yong was extravagant and dissipated, and he was at odds with the concubine, making his house restless.

He can't even manage his family, so how can he be expected to rule the country.

Yang Jian first issued an edict to marry Cui Che's son Bodhisattva Nu and Yang Guang's female Avalokitesvara, and they had already heard about this marriage from Yang Guang before.

After Cui Che and Yang Guang thanked him, Yang Jian also praised Cui Che's tenure as the governor of Youzhou, for being able to protect the environment and the people, and drive away the Turks.

After all, Yang Jian asked:
"What job does the consort want?"

Cui Che quickly pulled himself together, and said cautiously:
"I'm at your majesty's disposal, just hoping to share your worries, and dare not ask where I'm going."

Dugu Jialuo suddenly interjected:
"It's better for the son-in-law to stay and serve in the court. It's not a long-term solution to always be separated from the princess and his wife."

Letting Cui Che stay in Daxing is also Yang Jian's idea, but the reason is different from Dugu Jialuo. Dugu Jialuo just wants his son-in-law to stay by his side, but Yang Jian is unwilling to let Cui Che out of town again.

It was not aimed at Cui Che alone.

Yang Su, who made great contributions in the battle of destroying Chen, was reassigned as Nayan, and became prime minister in Beijing;
He Ruobi also resigned from the post of Wuzhou general manager, entered the court as an official, and served as the right leader general;
Han Qinhu was naturally also left in Daxing City.

Although Cui Che served as a battlefield atmosphere group in the battle against Chen, his feats in the battle with the Western Turks were comparable to those of the three of them. How could Yang Jian let him down? He continues to serve abroad.

If he really wanted Brother Che to be the general manager everywhere, he was afraid that when Yang Guang came to power, he would find that his government orders could not go out of Daxing City at all, and there were all Cui Che's people outside.

Dugu Jialuo asked him to stay in Daxing, and Cui Che was already mentally prepared, he said happily:
"Being able to serve the two saints in Beijing is exactly what I want."

During this period, Yang Jian had been observing Cui Che's expression, seeing that he seemed to be really happy from the bottom of his heart, he couldn't help nodding secretly.

But Dugu Jialuo said sadly:
"It's a pity that Guang'er has to go back to Jinyang."

Yang Guang hurriedly comforted his mother, and finally Dugu Jialuo stopped being sad. Yang Jian muttered:

"Among the six ministries, there are still vacancies for two ministers in the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of War."

Before he finished speaking, he heard Dugu Jialuo explain Yang Jian's words, saying for his son-in-law:
"As the saying goes, you should use the virtuous at the right time, use their strengths, and the son-in-law gallops on the battlefield and strikes the barbarians far away. He has made great achievements. How can you let him go to the Ministry of Rites to study rituals and music?"

Cui Che was very grateful in his heart, he was born to please his mother-in-law.

He wanted Yang Lihua to be his mother-in-law before, but in the end she became his wife, and now Dugu Jialuo loves him so much, or how can a mother-in-law look at her son-in-law more and more pleasing to her eyes.

The Ministry of War does not directly control the military power, but it is in charge of the assessment and promotion of military generals, as well as matters such as military registration, ordnance, and military orders. In any case, it is more suitable for itself than the Ministry of Rites.

Cui Che's identity and experience are here. He entered the court as an official, and it is impossible for him to be awarded to a junior official like a servant.

But he is too young, and it is impossible for him to be a prime minister at the age of 21. A third-rank official position like Liubu Shangshu is just right.

Cui Che was entrusted with the first rank to go to the Zhu Kingdom, and it was only a loose official, not a position, but his salary was determined according to the specific position, not based on official rank.

For example, He Ruobi's right-leading general is also an official of the third rank.

Since Dugu Jialuo also spoke, Yang Jian did not insist on sending Cui Che to the Ministry of Rites, and he was his son-in-law anyway.

Even He Ruobi, who is self-confessed in his meritorious deeds and has repeatedly uttered wild words, can be in charge of the Imperial Army, and his son-in-law who knows how to advance and retreat is more than enough to be a minister of the Ministry of War.
