On the occasion of rebirth Zhou Sui

Chapter 370
Facing Yang Liang's anger, Huangfu Dan was at a loss. He tried his best to explain that he never thought of taking Yang Liang's credit to Yang Guang.

But Yang Liang didn't believe it, ordered people to take Huangfu Dan into custody, and sent envoys to Youzhou to explain the situation to Cui Che, and then conspired with Wang Wei, Xiao Mahe and others to raise troops.

When Qu Tutong returned without success, Yang Guang saw that Yang Liang was not fooled, so he announced Yang Jian's death.

In the fourth year of Renshou (AD 604), on July [-]th, under the persuasion of the ministers, Yang Guang became the emperor. The government is a slave.

After Yang Yong's death, Yang Guang posthumously named him Fangling King.

Soon, Yang Guang returned to Daxing with Yang Jian's coffin to attend his funeral.

At the same time, Cui Che, who had confronted the Xi clan for a long time, finally received Yang Liang's envoy.

Although Yang Jian has already defined Cui Che's rebellion as rebellion, it doesn't seem to have much influence on him. After all, Cui Che has been pleading and forbearing from the beginning to the end, and has not openly rebelled.

This time it was Yang Liang's confidant Wang Kai who was ordered to go to Yandi.

"Yang Guang killed his father, and the King of Han wanted to invite Duke Yan to fight with him."

Wang Wei explained the purpose of his visit, but the eyes of the sisters of the Yang family who followed Cui Che to the front hall to meet the guests were blinded, and Yang Awu even fainted on the spot.

Yang Lihua scolded:
"You are so brave! How dare you fabricate such rumors!"

Yang Lihua obviously didn't want to believe the truth of the matter.

But Wang Wei handed Yang Liang's letter for her, and Yang Lihua opened it to read, and it was full of Yang Liang's analysis. After reading it, Yang Lihua fell down immediately after Yang Awu.

This made Cui Che, who had been pinching Yang Awu, anxious, and hurriedly called a maid to invite Cui Zhaorong, and then asked Cui Yanqing to lead someone to send Yang Lihua and Yang Awu back to the backyard.

After busying with all this, he sighed to Wang Kai:
"I have known Yang Guang for many years, but I don't want him to behave like a beast and do such beastly things.

"Wang Canjun, just go back and tell the King of Han that the day when Bingzhou raises troops is the time when Youzhou will rise up!"

Wang Wei nodded in response, he was not too surprised, because this was expected.

After sending Wang Kai away, Cui Che summoned his cronies to inform them of Yang Jian's death. Everyone wanted to raise their hands to cheer, but put them down in embarrassment. Come in.

After reading Yang Liang's letter, Yang Lihua also believed in Yang Guang's murder of his father. After all, with Gao Huan's lessons learned, she would never forget to tell Yang Guang the secret code.

Cui Che looked at his wife whose face was still wet with tears, and said distressedly:
"Why don't you take a good rest in the backyard and come out?"

Yang Lihua endured her grief and asked:

"Today's discussion is to raise troops to avenge father?"

Cui Che replied:

"Yang Guang killed his father, and I will not share the sky with him, so naturally I have to respond to the call of the King of Han."

Yang Lihua wiped away her tears and said:
"Since it's about revenge, how can I stay out of it as my father's daughter with Ah Wu."

Cui Che had no choice but to let the two listen in.

With Yang Lihua and Yang Awu present, everyone restrained a lot in terms of speech.

Fang Xuanling suggested:

"Duke Yan can send envoys to Kumoxi to inform the saint of his death.

"Ahui Lusu was canonized by a sage, thanking him for his kindness, he will definitely stop fighting."

Cui Che nodded, and immediately called his 14-year-old second son Cui Yanzong, ordered him to go to Kumoxi to report the funeral, and sent five hundred cavalry to escort him.

Cui Yanzong took the order and left.

Immediately, everyone started discussing the preparations for the counties before the incident, and they didn't disperse until late at night.

Soon, Cui Yanzong, who was sent to Kumoxi, brought back good news. Ahui Lusu immediately ordered the disbandment of the army when he learned of Yang Jian's death.

Of course, Ahui Lusu's strike had nothing to do with Yang Jian's life or death, it was just that Cui Che no longer needed the reason for the Xi clan's rebellion to gather the soldiers of Yandi.

At this time, the news of Yang Jian's death had already been circulated in the army, and even many people were convincing, claiming that Yang Jian did not die, but was killed by a traitor.

It's just that Cui Che never confirmed it and let the soldiers discuss the matter.

It wasn't until he led the army back to Ji County, when the news of Yang Yong's death came, that Cui Che ordered people to build a high platform outside the city of Youzhou.

In the fourth year of Renshou (AD 604), August 27, just after the autumn harvest, was also the day when Cui Che and Han Wang Yang Liang agreed to raise troops.

Cui Che appeared on the high platform in hemp and filial piety. Facing the soldiers of the three armies, he cried bitterly:

"Earlier, the king of Han sent envoys to report that the crown prince killed his father and became self-reliant, and the sage died!"

There was an uproar in the audience, even though this news had been circulated in the barracks for a long time, but Cui Che came forward to confirm it today, and everyone still couldn't believe it.

"Duke Yan! Please also find out the truth, you can't just rely on Han Wang's one-sided words."

"Perhaps the king of Han conspired against him, so he fabricated this statement."

"Duke Yan summoned us today because he has solid evidence, so how can he wrong the crown prince!"

"I didn't say that the prince was wronged, but I just hope that Duke Yan will investigate the matter clearly."

There was a quarrel in the audience, but Cui Che didn't show any signs of panic at all, which was all within his expectation.

Not everyone is willing to rebel, there are old people, there are young people, why bother to participate in this nine races elimination game.

Amidst the quarrel, the sisters of the Yang family were still dressed in filial piety. They walked up to the high platform. Cui Che secretly nodded towards the two of them. Yang Lihua was encouraged. She plucked up her courage and came to the edge of the high platform, saying loudly:
"I am Yang Lihua, the eldest daughter of the saint, Princess Feng Leping.

"I know that you doubt the authenticity of Yang Guang's patricide, but a few days ago there was conclusive news from Kansai that Yang Guang falsely claimed that he had killed the deposed prince under the orders of his father and emperor."

Yang Awu took over the conversation and continued:
"I am Yang Awu, the fifth daughter of the sage, Princess Feng Lanling, I would like to ask you, which father would leave a will and let his sons kill each other!
"If he can murder his elder brother, he can do things worse than pigs and dogs for the sake of the throne!"

None of the soldiers of the three armies could answer.

Cui Che struck while the iron was hot, and said loudly:

"'In the fourth year of Renshou, the son killed his father, and the mountain collapsed.'

"God has already warned, but I didn't expect Yang Guang to really have the heart of a beast.

"Yang Guang murdered his father and brother, this great rebellion through the ages, I, Cui Che, the son-in-law of a sage, how can I sit idly by.

"Now that the King of Han is raising troops in Jinyang to take revenge, Cui is willing to follow him.

"You who are willing to be with me, you can bare your right arm!"

As soon as the words fell, the sisters of the Yang family pulled up their sleeves before everyone else, revealing their right arms.

Immediately, the soldiers also bared their right arms and shouted in unison:
"I am willing to be of one mind with Duke Yan!"

"Swear to live and die with Lord Yan!"

Cui Che was overjoyed, and immediately ordered people to bring all the family wealth and distribute it to the soldiers of the three armies.
