Chapter 537 Goodbye
Following Yu Wenshu's escape, Gao Jiong committed suicide, and there were no important people left in Daxing City. Even the maids in Yeting Palace were taken to the south by Yang Guang.

Cui Che's car drove to Yang Jian's Taimiao, which was almost smashed into ruins by Cui Che.

But this does not prevent him from pretending to be a hypocrite, and staged a scene of crying temple in front of everyone.

"Emperor Gaozu! The minister is late!"

Cui Che found the portrait of Yang Jian enshrined in the Taimiao in the ruins, and wept bitterly:
"Gaozu was murdered by traitors, and his ministers were far away in Youzhou, unable to save the Lord, and every time he thought about it, his heart was broken.

"Fortunately, the first emperor (Yang Liang) sent a message to tell the truth, so he raised troops to avenge the father.

"After five years, I finally worshiped the spirit of the ancestors in the Taimiao. Today I got my wish. Even though I die, I have no regrets!"

The people present were all Cui Che's confidantes, regardless of whether they were moved by Cui Che's devotion and loyalty to Sui, they did their best on the surface, and they all shed tears.

Cui Che wiped away his tears, rolled up Yang Jian's portrait again, handed it to Changsun Wuji, and said:
"Put away the portrait and enshrine it in the Jinyang Taimiao after returning to the dynasty."

Changsun Wuji bowed to accept the order.

Cui Che said again:

"Your third brother, eldest grandson Anye, was stranded in Daxing and has now been captured.

"When your mother and younger sister come, the eldest grandson Anye will take you to look for the grave of the eldest grandson.

"Gu heard that when you were young, you and Guanyin's maid were often bullied by the eldest grandson Anye, don't worry, Guzi will vent your anger on you."

Changsun Wuji first thanked Cui Che for his kindness, and then pleaded:

"Although the elder brother is not friendly, the younger brother cannot be disrespectful. He is a brother of flesh and blood. How can he harbor resentment because of the conflicts when he was young, which caused the elder brother to be blamed by the king. Please forgive me."

Since Changsun Wuji's mother and son fell into Cui Che's hands early on, Changsun Wuji had never experienced the humiliation of being expelled from the house by Changsun Anye with his mother and younger sister, so naturally he did not have that much resentment.

Cui Che nodded when he heard this, and he didn't say any more.

After crying over the Taimiao, Cui Che did not go to the severely damaged Daxing Palace again, so as not to touch the scene and hurt his feelings.

Since he had no intention of establishing a capital in Guanzhong, there was no need to rebuild the Daxing Palace. Cui Che turned around and left, leaving the past glory of the Sui Dynasty behind.

He still lived in the Duke of Yan's mansion back then, and this mansion was awarded to Yu Wenshu by Yang Guang.

The family members of Yu Wenshu and Gao Jiong were taken to the south of the Yangtze River as hostages, so after Yu Wenshu escaped at night, the servants in the family were afraid that the city would be destroyed, and they would be affected by it, so they scattered all over the place, which just happened to allow Cui Che to return to the old house.

Cui Che summoned Xu Shiji and ordered:
"Quickly draw up an essay for Gu, and send a message to the prefects of the various counties in Guanzhong to inform them of the change of master in Daxing, and explain the benefits and disadvantages to them."

Xu Shiji will be a person who can become a general in the future, so this trivial matter can't help him, so he immediately wants to write a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, imitating Cui Che's tone, and write letters of advice for the prefects of the counties, and ask Cui Che to read them.

Cui Che looked at it and was very satisfied, so he asked Xu Shiji to send people to various counties.

At dusk, siblings Li Xiuning and Li Shimin, as well as the mother and daughter of the Gao family and Guanyin's servants were brought to Daxing.

Cui Che sent people to take Li Xiuning and Li Shimin to resettle, and smiled at Gao's mother and daughter:
"I once said boldly that Guanzhong will be taken so that you can worship at the grave of the eldest grandson.

"Although the war is busy, I have promised you mother and daughter, and I always keep it in my heart, and I have never forgotten it."

The Gao mother and daughter were overjoyed, not only because they could go to pay homage to Sun Sheng, but because Cui Che cared about them so much.

When the grandson Anye was brought to Cui Che's residence, he felt uneasy.

Of course he heard that Mrs. Gao was accepted by Cui Che as his side concubine, and that his younger brother and younger sister who had been bullied by him now also climbed onto the high branch, transformed into a celebrity in front of Cui Che.

The eldest grandson Anye, who was afraid of revenge, had never thought of going to the south of the Yangtze River with Yang Guang, but the second eldest grandson Heng'an was ordered to accompany him and had to leave one person behind to watch his father's grave in Guanzhong, so the eldest grandson Anye was stranded in Daxing.

But the eldest grandson Anye obviously worried too much, Cui Che simply didn't bother to pay attention to him.

Hearing that the eldest grandson Anye was taken outside the mansion, Cui Che asked the eldest grandson Wuji, Gao Shi, and Guanyin's maidservant to bring the sacrificial items that had been prepared, and go to the grave with the eldest grandson Anye to pay homage to the eldest grandson Sheng.

As soon as the four of them left, a personal entourage who had served Cui Che for many years brought two middle-aged nuns from the nunnery.

It was Chen Yueyi, Queen of Tianzhong, and Yuan Leshang, Queen of Tianyou, who belonged to Zhou Xuandi Yu Wenyun.

It's just that this title is too far away, and the two of them have become accustomed to the two dharma titles Huaguang and Huasheng.

"What are your plans for the future?"

Cui Che asked.

He admitted that he once coveted the two of them, but after many years, it has long since disappeared.

But after all, he is an old friend, and Cui Che is willing to do something within his ability.

Chen Yueyi and Yuan Leshang looked at each other, and they both saw relief in each other's eyes.

He finally asked.

As far as the two daughters were concerned, even if Cui Che was willing to take the initiative to ask this question during the time when she was keeping a filial piety for her grandmother in Anping County, the two would stay by Cui Che's side to serve him regardless of anything.

But it is too late to ask now.

Chen Yueyi said:

"The king built a nunnery for our sisters in Anping County, is it still there?

"The poor nun is willing to practice with Huaguang in Shangyue Nunnery for the rest of his life."

Cui Che looked at Yuan Leshang, she nodded slightly, obviously the two girls had already agreed.

"There is also a royal nunnery in Jinyang. If you go there, you can still enjoy the offerings from the court. Why do you have to go back to Shangyue Nunnery?"

A smile appeared on Chen Yueyi's face:
"Shangyue Temple, you built it specially for the two of us."

Yuan Leshang agreed:

"It's our best home."

Cui Che was silent for a while, and after a while, he said in a deep voice:
"Shang Yue'an, you two don't want to go, go back to Jinyang with me.

"From now on, the two of you will practice in the nunnery of Jinyang Beiyuan."

Chen Yueyi said helplessly:

"You are King Yan of the Sui Dynasty. Since we have made arrangements for our sisters, how dare we violate them."

But there is no reluctance in my heart.

The second daughter asked Cui Che to resign and wanted to go back to the nunnery for a while, but Cui Che made an excuse:
"Nowadays there is a lack of popularity in the mansion, and evil spirits are feared. The two of you have practiced meditation for many years, and you should have the blessings of Buddhism. Why don't you just stay in the mansion for a while."

Chen Yueyi smiled bitterly and said:

"Yueyi is now forty-four, even if she can have a happy night with the king, she will soon be abandoned by the king because of her old appearance."

Yuan Leshang answered:

"Now that we know His Majesty's wishes, the two of us, the sisters, are satisfied.

"If Your Majesty has time in the future, you can go to Jinyang North Courtyard and tell us about the interesting things you met, but please forgive Le Shang for not being able to serve Your Majesty."

However, if you are really indifferent, how can you inadvertently mention your layman's name instead of using the Dharma name instead.
