On the occasion of rebirth Zhou Sui

Chapter 189
Yang Jian pondered for a moment, then nodded and said:

"The queen's words are right. Today, I will confer the position of Minister of the Ministry of War to the son-in-law. The Ministry is no better than the State Shepherd. You should do things with your heart, and don't be negligent."

Cui Che bowed his head in gratitude and said:
"My humble minister will live up to the love of the two saints."

The edict had already been sent to the Ministry of Officials, and Cui Che answered many questions about the Eastern and Western Turks, Kumoxi, Khitan, Goguryeo and other races in the hall, and then walked out of the side hall with Yang Guang.

When they came to Guangyang Gate and saw Li Min again, Cui Che introduced Yang Guang:

"This is Eying's fiancé-in-law."

After finishing speaking, he said to Li Min:

"Min'er, hurry up and salute His Royal Highness King Jin."

Li Min quickly bowed and said:
"My humble minister pays homage to the king."

Yang Guang stepped forward, smiled happily and said:
"You really are a good-looking talent, Zicheng, but you have found a good husband for Eying."

Cui Che shook his head and said with a smile:
"They're all princesses with sharp eyesight. I don't dare to take credit for it. I'm not allergic to melody, and good at riding and shooting. That's exactly what I want."

The three exchanged pleasantries outside Guangyang Gate for a long time, Cui Che invited Yang Guang to bring his wife and daughter to the house for a banquet tonight.

Yang Guang also agreed without hesitation, and he said with a smile:
"Since the father and the mother have given marriages, it is time for the two children to meet."

Only then did Cui Che remember that he was going to Weishui Academy to bring the Bodhisattva slave back to Daxing, and hurriedly ordered Zhao Wen, who was waiting outside the palace gate, to leave the city. He didn't know that Yang Lihua, Yuwen Eying and their daughter had already brought their son back home.

After saying goodbye outside the Guangyang Gate, Yang Guang went straight back to Prince Jin's Mansion, Li Min stayed at the gate of the palace as an errand, and Cui Che went to Yueguo Mansion to invite Yang Xuangan to have a banquet tonight.

Yang Xuangan used to work with Cui Che in Yang Guang's shogunate, and they were both acquaintances. They hadn't seen each other for a long time, so it was natural to have a good time.

He originally wanted to call Dou Wei that bookworm, but he gave up because he didn't have a deep friendship with Yang Guang.

When Cui Che went to Yueguo Mansion, Li Jing waved goodbye to his friends at the official office of Shangshu Province.

He has already found out his whereabouts, and he will serve in the Ministry of War as a member of the Ministry of Driving.

Shangshu Province has six ministries under its jurisdiction, namely the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Punishment, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

The reason why the Ministry of Civil Affairs was renamed the Ministry of Households was to avoid the name taboo of Emperor Taizong Li Shimin during the Tang Dynasty.

The six ministries have Shangshu as the main official, and each has four divisions, with four ministers as the chief officials of each division, and Yuan Wai Lang as the second official.

The assistant minister will not be established as the deputy official of the six ministries until the time of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty.

The Ministry of War, where Li Jing will serve, has four divisions under its jurisdiction: the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Staff, the Ministry of Treasury, and the Ministry of Driving.

The Department of the Ministry of War is also called the Department of Military Selection, which is in charge of the evaluation, selection and award of military officers across the country, as well as the decrees of the names and dispatch of soldiers and horses;

The official department is in charge of maps, city gods, towns, forts, battlements, and the distance of the roads for conquest and defense;
The Department of the Ministry of Treasury is in charge of national weapons, ceremonial guards, talisman surveys, ruler records, and martial arts;
The Department of Driving is in charge of things such as chariot, post, horses and cattle, and miscellaneous livestock.

The chief officials of each department, that is, the minister, is an official of the sixth rank, while Yuanwailang is an official of the sixth rank.

Li Jing was naturally promoted from the post of the chief minister of the Provincial Palace of the Seventh Rank to Wailang, a member of the Driving Department of the Ministry of Military Affairs of the Shangshu Province, who was the sixth rank.

This is the normal procedure for promotion, unlike Cui Che, who took big leaps up after marrying Yang Lihua.

However, Li Jing didn't feel much joy in his heart. He met Cui Che outside the official department before, and Cui Che was only one year older.

Now he is just a member of the driving department of the sixth grade, Uiro, so what is there to be proud of.

There are four divisions in the Ministry of Officials, which are the Division of the Ministry of Officials, the Division of Sixun, the Division of Sifeng, and the Division of Kaogong.

This good friend of Li Jing is Wailang, a member of the Merit Examination Department, and today he brought him to the Department of Officials, which is in charge of conferring official positions, to inquire about news.

Just as he said goodbye to his friends and was about to leave the Ministry of Officials, a eunuch from the palace hurried over.

"The sage has an imperial edict to confer the post of Shangshu in the Ministry of Military Affairs of Duke Yan."

The eunuch said loudly.

The Minister of the Ministry of Officials confirmed that the edict was correct, so he was busy recording for Cui Che and writing a complaint.

The friend forgot to take a look at Li Jing, and said with a smile:

"This Yan Guogong has now become your immediate boss."

Li Jing was also very surprised, he took a quick glance outside the official's mansion, and found that there was such a fate, but he didn't think he would have much contact with Cui Che in the next three years.

How could the high-ranking minister of the Ministry of War care about a member of the driving department, Uiro.

However, Li Jing never doubted his ability. He knew that he just lacked the opportunity to show his talent.

Before Cui Che came to Yueguo Mansion, he didn't need to reveal his identity. He used to visit Yang Su's mansion. Although he hadn't been there for many years, his handsome appearance left a deep impression on them.

The most important thing to be a door to a powerful family is to have a wink and a good memory.

Menzi saluted and said:
"My eldest son is still in the mansion, please wait for Yan Gong, let the younger one go to report."

Cui Che nodded slightly, and soon there was a sound of hurried footsteps, and it was Yang Xuangan who came quickly.

"Zicheng, you can be considered to be back, hurry into the mansion, I have a lot to say to you."

Yang Xuangan greeted warmly.

Cui Che would not be polite to him either, the two were close friends in the same room, and their relationship was sincere, back then everyone thought that Cui Che beat Yang Guang and fled in fear of crime, and Pei Xiu went to Beijing to beg for help, and suffered disaster as well.

It was Yang Xuangan and Dou Wei who covered Pei Xiu out of Beijing.

When the two entered the mansion, Yang Xuangan asked his wife and concubine to meet Cui Che, and called several younger brothers to introduce Cui Che to him.

After everyone else retreated, Yang Xuangan made wine with Cui Che and talked about their old relationship.

The two agreed to visit Dou Wei's mansion tomorrow evening, and Cui Che invited Yang Xuangan to accompany Yang Guang today, Yang Xuangan also readily accepted.

After drinking for three rounds, Cui Che took advantage of his drunkenness and said emotionally:

"Wine but no joy, fly in the ointment."

Yang Xuangan was very surprised, he had known Cui Che for 14 years, and he knew that when friends were guests, they preferred to reminisce quietly with others instead of enjoying music and dancing, so there was no arrangement.

But since Cui Che said so, Yang Xuangan clapped his hands, and the servant waiting outside came in to answer his orders, Yang Xuangan ordered:

"Call all the singers and dancers in the house."

A smile appeared in Cui Che's eyes.

Before Cui Che was allowed to wait for too long, the servant attracted a group of girls, all of whom were singing and dancing girls from the Duke of Yue's mansion.

Yang Xuangan asked Cui Che what song he wanted to listen to, and Cui Che ordered "The Flowers in the Backyard of the Yushu", which was an old work by Chen Shubao, the empress of Chen, when he was in Jiangnan.

It's just that the singing girls and dancing girls looked at each other in blank dismay, neither of them knew how to perform.

Cui Che wondered:
"While you are waiting, is there no one from Jiangnan?"

Yang Xuangan seemed to have guessed, he pushed back all the singing and dancing girls, and sighed:

"If Zicheng is interested in the Princess Lechang of the Chen Dynasty, he should give up his heart as soon as possible. My father did give a concubine to Li Baiyao before, but the Chen family was bestowed by a saint. My father loves her very much, and I am afraid it will be difficult to give up."

Cui Che was stunned.

　The third one was brought, but it is gone today.
