Chapter 272 A good show

Facing Yang Su's request, Cui Che replied affirmatively:
"Duke Yue doesn't need to worry about this. When the sage visits the north, there will be an edict of grace."

Yang Su sighed sadly:
"Hey! Yang doesn't want to be meritorious, but to be innocent."

Yang Su felt that he might have to bear the name of abuse of the people for the rest of his life, so he felt a bit bitter in his heart.

Cui Che didn't know how to comfort Yang Su, or if he should comfort Yang Su.

After all, what Yang Su lost was only his good reputation, but tens of thousands of corpses were buried near the palace.

During the conversation between the two, Gao Jiong sent someone to urge Cui Che to leave, but he couldn't leave alone.

Cui Che then bid farewell to Yang Su. Yang Su could not go back to Daxing for the time being, and he had to stay in Qizhou to prepare for Yang Jian.

After leaving Yang Su's residence, Dou Jiande was waiting outside the residence. Cui Che invited him to ride with him, but Dou Jiande did not refuse.

After meeting with Gao Jiong, the carriage drove south. In the carriage, Cui Che, who had been resting with his eyes closed, opened his eyes and asked Dou Jiande:
"This time back to the court, Duke Qi will definitely impeach the Duke of Yue for his tyranny to the saint. Jiande thinks, how should Cui act? Should he ignore it, or speak up for justice."

Dou Jiande pondered for a moment, then replied:
"I'm a rough person. I don't know much about national affairs, and I haven't read many books. But I also know that if you can't do what you can, you are called a coward; if you force what you can't do, you are called a fool."

Cui Che sighed:
"Jiande's word awakens the dreamer."

Cui Che was not an idiot, so after returning to Daxing, he only stated in the memorial that Renshou Palace had all the facilities and did not find any omissions.

Yang Su was ordered to supervise the construction of Renshou Palace, but Yu Wenkai was actually responsible for the design and planning.

This outstanding ancient architect and urban planning expert was hired again after many years. Renshou Palace can be regarded as the work of his painstaking efforts, so how could Cui Che find faults.

But in Gao Jiong's eyes, there are too many places to blame.

This wise man is going to be a fool this time.

Gao Jiong first impeached Yang Su for abusing the people and rushing to work blindly, resulting in the death of tens of thousands of young men who served in the army.

He also accused Yang Su of violating Shangyi and claiming to build the palace too gorgeously.

Yang Jian was furious, he summoned Cui Che into the palace, ordered someone to show Gao Jiong's memorabilia to Cui Che, and reprimanded him:
"What Prime Minister Gao said, why didn't you mention a single word!"

After reading the memorial, Cui Che handed it back to the eunuch, and said calmly:

"Your Majesty sent ministers to Qizhou to inspect the palace for any mistakes or omissions. As for the matters mentioned in the memorandum, it is beyond the minister's ability to intervene."

Yang Jian nodded and said:
"What the son-in-law said makes sense."

As he spoke, he complained to Cui Che:

"Ah! Now Prime Minister Gao is getting more and more alienated from me. I asked him to inspect the palace, but he only cared about party disputes and was eager to attack Yang Qing. The whole article was full of words of hatred, but he forgot that I sent him to Qi. State purposes."

However, this time, Cui Che did not take the opportunity to slander and further alienate the relationship between Yang Jian and Gao Jiong.

On March 15, the 595th year of Emperor Kaihuang (29 A.D.), Yang Jian visited Renshou Palace.

Looking at the majestic Renshou Palace in front of him, Yang Jian scolded Yang Su angrily in front of the officials:

"The first emperor abused the power of the people to build the Efang Palace, which caused resentment in the world, so there are nursery rhymes like 'Afang Efang, look forward to the first emperor'.

"I ordered you to oversee the construction of Renshou Palace, and repeatedly told you to keep everything simple...

"But you are behind my back, building a magnificent palace, this is to make me and the people of the world enmity!"

Yang Su was terrified, and hurriedly kowtowed to plead guilty. The supporters of Prince Yang Yong, led by Gao Jiong, spoke one after another, demanding that Yang Su be severely punished.

Jin Wang Yang Guang's supporters looked at Cui Che, but Cui Che didn't say a word. This matter has been raised by Yang Jian to the height of A Fang's death, and Cui Che's identity is not enough to calm the discussion.

There is only one person who can cover up this matter.

Cui Che cast his eyes on Queen Dugu Jialuo.

Sure enough, Dugu Jialuo comforted Yang Jian and said:

"The Duke of Yue knows that my concubine and His Majesty are too old to entertain themselves, so he built this palace so magnificently, in order to make us live more comfortably. How can we live up to this act of loyalty and filial piety!"

With Dugu Jialuo leading the charge, Cui Che said:
"There was a severe drought in Guanzhong last year, and His Majesty still does not eat wine or meat. His love for the people is obvious to all.

"The world should know that the scale of Renshou Palace was not ordered by His Majesty, so how could they resent His Majesty because of this, please calm down His Majesty."

The officials of King Jin's party also immediately seconded the proposal, and Yang Jian turned his anger into joy. Not only did he not pursue Yang Su's crimes, but he also rewarded him with 100 million yuan and [-] pieces of brocade and silk.

Yang Su cried and thanked him.

A big drama came to an end. Yang Su won a big reward, but he was notorious.

The great Sui sage who loved the people like a son also lived in the magnificent Renshou Palace and lived frugally all his life.

At the same time, the current situation in Mobei has changed again. As the East Turkic Dulan Khan married the princess of the Sui Dynasty and escorted the fool who encouraged him to rebel against the Sui Dynasty to Daxing, Yang Jian also felt relieved of Dulan Khan.

As the relationship between the two sides became closer, with the power of the Sui Dynasty, many Mobei tribes defected to Dulan Khan.

Moreover, he also has the name of the Great Khan of the Turkic Khanate.

When the strength was weak, this name was worthless, but now with the support of the Sui Dynasty, the grassland tribes have no pressure to return to the embrace of the Great Khan.

In the past, Tuli Khan, who was able to fight against Dulan Khan in the Eastern Turkic region, now is Wang Xiaoer's Chinese New Year, and every year is not as good as every year. Seeing that everyone is about to betray their relatives, he hastened to send envoys to the south. Sui courted.

This is not the first time Tuli Khan has asked the Sui Dynasty for a marriage, but because of Dulan Khan, Yang Jian has never agreed.

However, there are no permanent friends, only permanent interests. Seeing that Dulan Khan is growing stronger day by day, the Sui Dynasty once again used its traditional skills to act as a shit-stirring stick within the Turks, and finally decided to make peace with Tuli Khan.

Of course, it is impossible to marry a biological daughter. Even Dulan Khan, the great Khan, can only marry a clan daughter. What level is your Tuli Khan, and you are worthy of marrying the same princess as Cui Che.

When the incident spread to Mobei, Dulan Khan was furious when he learned that Tuli Khan was going to marry the Sui Dynasty: Yang Jian just didn't like himself.

So he planned to make some noise to let Yang Jian know that he was unhappy.

This time, Dulan Khan did not look for Ahui Lusu again. He knew that Ahui Lusu was different from himself. Ever since Cui Che rescued him from the Western Turkic court, he had been a loyal dog for others. Always ask Cui Che for his opinion.

After much deliberation, Dulan Khan took aim at Koguryo, the distant neighbor to the east.
