On the occasion of rebirth Zhou Sui

Chapter 196
The four nobles in the court are in power, and Gao Jiong and Yang Yong are not only Weng's son-in-law, but also their sons and daughters' relatives, and they are undoubtedly staunch supporters of the prince.

Su Wei did not dare to participate in Yang Jian's plan to usurp the throne, and in Yang Guang's view, it was even more impossible to intervene in the struggle for the heir apparent. Although Su Wei had a friendly relationship with Gao Jiong, he was not in Gao Jiong's party.

Yu Qing was recommended by Gao Jiong, and the two have a deep friendship, so it may be difficult for him to help him.

Among the four nobles, only Yang Su has the possibility of being won over.

After all, Yang Guang witnessed the dispute between Yang Su and Yu Qingze at the celebration banquet of Prince Jin's Mansion last year, and knew that Yang Su, Gao Jiong, Yu Qingze and others were not in the same way.

After the extermination of Chen last year, Yang Guang's class teacher, Yang Jian held a celebration banquet in Jin Wangfu, and Yang Jian praised:
Gao Jiong pacified the south of the Yangtze River, and Yu Qing surrendered the Turks, with outstanding achievements. '

Yu Qing once sent an envoy to the Eastern Turks, forcing Sabolo Khan to take a picture and kneel to accept the order, and profess his vassal to the Sui Dynasty.

But Yang Su said:
The merits of both of them all depend on His Majesty's mighty virtue. '

Yu Qing was dissatisfied:
"Yang Su sent troops to Wulao and Xiashi before, if it weren't for His Majesty's mighty virtue, there would be no possibility of defeating the enemy. '

The two immediately exposed each other's faults, if it wasn't for Yang Jian's mediation, it would be difficult to be kind.

When Yang Su entered the room today, Yu Qing, who was the official obeisance to the Great General You Wuhou, let out a cold snort.

Although Yang Xuangan used to work in Yang Guang's shogunate, Yang Guang and Yang Su had no contact, and they didn't have a deep friendship. He looked at Cui Che who was joking with Yang Su, and had an idea in his mind.

Cui Che was not afraid to show his friendship with Yang Su's family in front of the emperor.

People in the world call Yang Su, Cui Che, He Ruobi, Han Qinhu and Shi Wansui the five famous generals.

He Ruobi and Shi Wansui were both recommended by Gao Jiong, and they belonged to the prince's party.

Cui Che's friendship with Yang Su is also what Yang Jian likes to see.

It is difficult to be a prince, but it is even more difficult to be a prince for the master of guessing.

A few years ago, Gao De from Luoyang came to the table, hoping that Yang Jian would give way to the crown prince Yang Yong. Although it was later found out that it was not Yang Yong's instruction and had nothing to do with the rest of the princes, Yang Jian was still worried that Yang Yong would hide the knife in Xiaoli, how could he not? Defense first hand.

Yang Su also saw through this point, so he blatantly choked up at last year's celebration banquet and drew a clear line with Gao Jiong, Yu Qingze, He Ruobi, Shi Wansui and others.

Yang Jian could let Cui Che and Yang Su befriend each other, but if they were friendly with Gao Jiong and supported the prince together, Yang Jian might not even be able to sleep well.

Today's five famous generals gathered together, but no one would not open their eyes and say that they want to set a high or low order for Yang Su, Cui Che and others.

Previously, in order to compete for merit, He Ruobi had drawn swords against Han Qinhu. If the five were ranked, it would be bloody during the Lantern Festival.

Cui Che also noticed the strong man who followed He Ruobi into the palace, Yang Guang came over at some point, and introduced to Cui Che:
"This is Song Guogong (He Ruobi) who loves the future and protects his children."

Cui Che nodded when he heard the words, and thought: So he is here to protect the children.

Then he looked at Yang Guang suspiciously:

"Your Highness is familiar with him?"

Yang Guang smiled lightly and said:
"I met a few times when I was fighting Chen. He is a brave general."

Lai Huer was originally from Nanyang Xinye. His great-grandfather moved to Guangling (now Yangzhou, Jiangsu). He grew up in Jiangbei since he was a child and has excellent water skills.

In the first year of Emperor Kaihuang, He Ruobi went out to Guangling to serve as the general manager of Wuzhou and prepare for the attack on Chen. He came to protect his son, so he joined the army and often crossed the river to check for news.

Appreciated by He Ruobi, Jigong was awarded the sixth rank of the Great Governor, and because of defeating the invading Chen Jun, he was promoted to the fifth rank of Yitong Third Division.

After the extermination of Chen, Lai Hu'er was promoted from the third rank to Kaifu Yitong Sansi because of his meritorious service.

In just ten years, from sitting in vain to a high position from the third rank, it can be said that the official career is prosperous.

Reminiscent of Lai Hu'er's courtship in Yang Guang's reign, no one can match the courtesy, Cui Che has to suspect that Yang Guang established contact with Lai Hu'er as early as during the campaign against Chen.

Lai Huer is backed by the prince's party, and secretly communicates with Jin Wang Yang Guang. If he doesn't get promoted, whoever gets promoted.

Cui Che immediately broke his mind to win over.

"Your Highness must have something to say to me."

Cui Che said softly.

He had also known Yang Guang for ten years, but he didn't believe that he would come here to tell Lai Nuer's identity.

Yang Guang glanced left and right, Cui Che understood and said no more.

After the banquet in the palace, Cui Che sent his family members back to the Yan State Mansion, and turned around to meet Yang Guang at the Prince Jin Mansion.

Passing a garden, Cui Che saw Princess Jin who was enjoying the moon alone in the gazebo, but he didn't stop there.

The decoration of Prince Jin's mansion was still simple, Cui Che was led into the wing, and Yang Guang had been waiting for a long time.

Without needing Yang Guang's greeting, Cui Che sat opposite him, took a teapot and poured tea for himself to sober up.

After putting down the cup, Cui Che asked:
"What's the matter?"

Yang Guang and Cui Che have a close relationship, and they didn't go around the bush, expressing their feelings directly:

"I have been in the domain for a long time, and I have little contact with the ministers in Beijing. Now that Zicheng has entered the court as an official, I hope you can secretly contact the ministers for me."

Cui Che said without thinking:
"But Duke Yue (Yang Su)?"

Yang Guang laughed and said:

"The parents who gave birth to me, Zicheng who knows me!"

Cui Che pondered and said:
"The prince has been out of love for a long time, His Highness is famous for his benevolence and filial piety, everyone in the world knows it, how could Yang Su not hear about it.

"Although there are four nobles in the court, Gao Jiong is the most noble, and he is deeply trusted by the saints. His party feathers are all over the court and the public. It is said that all the phases stand side by side, but in fact Gao Jiong is the only one.

"Yang Su has great ambitions, and he doesn't want to stay under the leadership for a long time. Last year, he fought with Yu Qing. I'm afraid it wasn't just a coincidence, but there must be deep meaning.

"And Gao Jiong is relying on the East Palace. If the East Palace succeeds, it will be difficult for Yang Su to compete with him."

"Your Highness is loved by the Second Sanctuary, and he has made great contributions to the country. Only His Highness can help Yang Su become an extremely human minister.

"Today, Your Highness wants to seek Yang Su, don't you know that maybe Yang Su looks forward to the king, just like looking forward to the rain after a long drought."

Yang Guangda was overjoyed, he took Cui Che's hand and praised:
"Listen to Zicheng's words and teach me to be enlightened. If Zicheng can plan for me, even if the crown prince is assisted by Gao Jiong, what should I be afraid of?"

Cui Che lightly smiled and said:
"Abolishing the establishment of the crown prince is a major event for the country.

"Separating the flesh and blood of father and son is not something that can be achieved overnight.

"The only thing His Highness wants to care about is the favor of the two saints. As for contacting the Duke of Yue, Che is willing to do it for the king."

It was decided that Cui Che would win over Yang Su on his behalf, and Cui Che asked Yang Guang to resign.

Yang Guang wanted to send Cui Che out of the house, but Cui Che declined:

"Your Majesty, please stop, and don't doubt alarm the East Palace."

Only then did Yang Guang sit back on his seat.

Cui Che left the wing and passed the garden again, where Princess Jin was still sitting in the gazebo.

"Yan Gong is going back?"

Obviously, Princess Jin also saw Cui Che earlier.

Cui Che replied:
"The matter has been agreed, it is inconvenient to stay for a long time."

Princess Jin sighed:

"Tomorrow, I will go to Jinyang with the king, and I'm afraid it will take another year and a half. Duke Lao Yan will worry about everything in the capital for the king."
