Chapter 238
The carriage was getting closer and closer, and it stopped on the official road outside the gazebo. Cui Che lifted the curtain and saw Yang Lihua with tears in his eyes.

He stretched out his hand and said softly:
"Come up."

Yang Lihua ignored her son, Bodhisattva Nu, who was watching. She held Cui Che's hand and got into the carriage.

Cui Che looked at the Bodhisattva slave who got off his horse and was going to board the carriage again, and reprimanded:

"Diligence is meritorious, play is useless, today is not a holiday, you are not studying hard in the academy, what are you doing here, go back to study soon!"

Under the astonished eyes of the Bodhisattva slave, the door curtain was lowered, and the convoy continued to drive towards Daxing.

In the carriage, Yang Lihua leaned on Cui Che's shoulder and tightly hugged his arm, refusing to relax.

"The war in the south of the Yangtze River is over, Cui Lang should not leave again, right?"

Yang Lihua asked.

They have been married for nine years, and Yang Lihua has had enough of lovesickness.

"My concubine is thirty-one now, and the days when Israel is attractive are numbered. Seeing the years go by, I just want Cui Lang to remember me now."

Cui Che lifted Yang Lihua's chin, and kissed her red lips. After a long time, the lips parted, and then Cui Che said softly:
"Regardless of whether there are troubles at the border, I'm afraid the saint will not allow me to lead the army in a short period of time, and I have enough time to accompany the princess.

"Princess, there is no need to worry about the passing of time. Before getting married, I promised to respect and love you for the rest of my life. How could I break my promise in the past?"

Embarrassed, Yang Lihua slipped into Cui Che's arms, a sweet smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

The carriage stopped outside the imperial city, Yang Lihua followed Cui Che out of the carriage, and all the generals who returned with Cui Che saluted her.

Yang Lihua used to be the empress and empress dowager of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. She was used to seeing big scenes. She bowed her head gracefully to everyone, and she did not look like a little girl when she was alone.

A group of people came to the Guangyang Gate of Miyagi, but today it was not the son-in-law Li Min who guarded him.

Yang Lihua said goodbye to Cui Che, and she went to the harem first to visit her mother Dugu Jialuo.

Cui Che and the generals behind him had to wait for Yang Jian's summoning.

Soon, an eunuch walked quickly and led them outside the Daxing Hall.

In the crowd, Mai Tiezhang looked calm, without any nervousness.

Although his status is humble, when he was in South Chen, he was the guard who held the umbrella for Chen Shubao. Even after he was off duty, he was able to go to South Xuzhou to steal.

Zhao Wen on the side also looked very relaxed. He, Li Qing, and Wang De were exempted from slavery after Cui Che was ordered to put down the rebellion, and joined the army as personal soldiers.

Li Qing and Wang De made some contributions.

However, Zhao Wen followed Mai Tiezhang several times to inquire about the enemy's situation, and as a lieutenant general captured Songyang. Naturally, his contribution was more outstanding, so he was able to face the saint with Mai Tiezhang, Zhang Wu and others.

The rewards of Li Qing and Wang De have already been announced, and both of them were promoted to school lieutenants. As for which township regiment to control, it will have to wait for the Ministry of War to decide.

And the minister of the Ministry of War is Cui Che.

Waiting outside the hall for a while, the eunuch who greeted them earlier led them into the Daxing Hall after they had reported.

Today is the time of the imperial court meeting, and all the civil and military officials of the court are present. Cui Che, under the gaze of everyone, came to the imperial steps and led the generals to salute Yang Jian.

Yang Jianxi smiled and asked everyone to look up. He praised Cui Che and said:
"Since the son-in-law crossed the river, he has won many battles and victories. He has wiped out the evil for me, and restored the peace of the people in the south of the Yangtze River. I am very relieved to have a son-in-law like this."

Cui Che bowed and said:
"Treason confuses the hearts of the people and fools the people. The minister is only clarifying the rumors. The people in the south of the Yangtze River care about the kindness of the king and father, and naturally abandon the thief. Only then can the humble minister calmly face the battle."

Yang Jian was delighted when he heard that the rebellion of the Five Religions had been put down, but the cause of this rebellion could not be that the government's policy was wrong and forced the people to rebel, but that the rebels deceived the people and misinterpreted the government's decrees.

But Yang Jian blamed him:

"A merit is a merit, a fault is a fault, why should the son-in-law push the credit to me."

Cui Che even pleaded guilty, Yang Jian looked at Shi Wansui and praised:

"Shi Qing fought thousands of miles with two thousand warriors. After more than seven hundred battles, he captured and beheaded Wang Ni, and was designated by the concubine as the first meritorious service in countering the rebellion. I also think that Shi Qing will do his part!"

While thanking him, Shi Wansui did not hide the satisfaction on his face at all.

This made Yang Jian think of He Ruobi after Ping Chen, and couldn't help frowning secretly.

He asked again:

"Where is the head of the army to protect the children?"

Lai nurse hurried out and said:

"Wei Chen is here!"

Yang Jian looked at Lai Huer carefully, then smiled and said:

"The coming general is far more majestic and majestic than in the painting!"

After learning of the great victory in Zhejiang, Yang Jian sent painters to the south of the Yangtze River to paint a portrait of the nurse and sent it to Daxing.

Seeing that the chief general Cui Che, Shi Wansui and Lai Hu'er, who are the first and second in combat merit, have all been praised by the emperor, and that the next one should be himself, the third in combat merit, Mai Tiezhang felt a little expectation in his heart.

However, Yang Jian did not praise everyone one by one, but directly ordered Zhongshu Sheren to read out the rewards.

The Lord General Cui Che, Duke of the State of Yan, gave him forty catties of gold, plus a silver bottle, in real money, three thousand pieces of cloth and silk, two hundred horses, two thousand sheep, one hundred hectares of public land, and one district of residence.

His son Cui Qiji, under the shadow of his father, was promoted from the third rank of Kaifu Yitong to the third rank of Kaifu Yitong.

Shi Wansui, who had the most military exploits, replaced Dugutuo as the general of the left leader, and was rewarded with [-] yuan and a food city.

Dugu Tuo has been dismissed, and soon after returning to Daxing, he was reported by Yang Su, who used witchcraft to curse his sister Dugu Jialuo and Yang Su's wife Zheng, and should have been sentenced to death.

Thanks to Dugu Jialuo's intercession, his life was saved, but he was dismissed from the official title, and Zhao Guogong was succeeded by his elder brother Dugu Luo.

Losing the title of inherited descendants is more painful than killing Dugutuo. A few days ago, he died of depression at home.

Cui Che didn't know whether this incident had something to do with the eye drops he gave Dugutuo in front of Yang Guang, but it was up to this point, and there was nothing to blame himself for, who would have thought that he was Cui Jishu and asked him for it? woman.

Lai Hu'er, who had the second highest military exploits, was promoted to the Zhu Kingdom, granted the title of Duke of Yongning County, and changed to be the governor of Jianzhou.

It is clear that Shi Wansui's contribution is greater than Lai Nuer's, but the reward he received is far lower than that of the other party, which makes Shi Wansui feel a little resentful.

He also knew the reason, it was nothing more than that he was too close to the East Palace, and although He Ruobi single-handedly selected the babysitter, he was not a close friend of Prince Yang Yong.

After hearing the rewards from Shi Wansui and Lai Hu'er, Cui Hongdu, who thought that he could rely on his military exploits to become the duke of the state, has fallen into despair.

And the fact is as expected, the vengeful Yang Jian still only gave him food and money.

If you want the Duke, in your next life.

As for Yu Juluo, a general with double pupils, he was awarded the third division of Yitong in Shangkaifu, the general manager of Diezhou, and the county magistrate of Gaotang.
