On the occasion of rebirth Zhou Sui

Chapter 559
A powerful official usurping the throne is the same as a new daughter-in-law getting on a sedan chair. He obviously couldn't wait, so he had to be twitchy and show a reserved side.

Cui Che's face was solemn, he clapped the case and shouted:

"Cui Mou, a veteran of the three dynasties, a minister of the country, with a loyal heart, is as bright as a bright moon.

"Your Majesty is young, so he must have been deceived by others, so please forgive Cui for not being able to obey the imperial edict!

"Please also report back to Your Majesty, the minister will raise troops into the court tomorrow, and the Qing emperor will side with him, so that the country will be restored to safety.

"I want to see who is bewitching Sheng Ting and trapping Cui in infidelity!"

Zhongshu servant Zu Junyan, who came to deliver the decree, was Cui Che's confidant even though he only defected to him when he raised his troops.

He once served as Cui Che's secretary and joined the army, and he wrote the call to action against Yang Guang.

Zu Junyan comforted him calmly:
"Please calm down your anger, don't be suspicious, the emperor has not been persecuted, and this edict is also written by Zhongshuling himself."

After hearing this, Cui Che's face softened a little, and he stopped saying anything about Qing Jun's side, but concentrated his anger on Zhongshu Lingdou and Lu Yu alone:
"Zhong Shuling is the uncle of the saint, and he didn't want to help the Sui Dynasty, so he actually wrote such a chaotic edict, which is tolerable or unbearable!"

After all, Cui Che wrote a memorial on the spot to impeach Zhongshu Ling Dou Luyu.

He handed the memorial to Zu Junyan, and said coldly:
"Dou Luyu's demonic talk of harming the country is a heinous crime.

"If your Majesty does not want to add any crime because of his private relatives, Cui will compare herself to a chaste woman. Although she is forced by others, she will die to protect her reputation."

That is to say, Yang Jian and Yang Liang couldn't see this scene, otherwise they would really crawl out of the soil and set up a chastity memorial archway for Cui Che.

Zu Junyan knew that this was only the first remark, so he left with the memorial and rushed back to Jinyang overnight.

Inside the Daming Hall, Yang Hao looked at Cui Che's upper face, trembling uncontrollably, he was angry.

After handing over Cui Che's memorial to all the ministers, Yang Hao said:
"I intend to imitate the ancient sages, but the King of Yan does not want to accept the edict, so I have nothing to do."

Dou Luyu saw Cui Che's memorial after Fang Xuanling and Pei Xiu. When he looked away from the memorial and found Fang Xuanling and Pei Xiu staring at him, Dou Luyu immediately understood what to do , he came out and said:

"Your Majesty, please draft it yourself, and I will go to announce the decree according to the order, and answer the doubts of King Yan face to face."

Yang Hao stared at Dou Luyu, finally let out a long sigh, and thought: This uncle of mine is really impatient to show his loyalty to Cui Che.

But things are already doomed, after Yang Hao decides to cooperate with Cui Che, he can only let him manipulate and participate in this drama of three words and three concessions.

According to Dou Luyu's request, Yang Hao wrote another edict of abdication himself, and asked Dou Luyu to bring it to Cui Che.

Dou Luyu got the edict, dared not delay, went out of the city in the dark, hurriedly, and arrived at Cui Che's temporary residence in the middle of the night.

Even though it was late at night, Cui Che still hadn't gone to bed, and he was still waiting for Jinyang to come.

As soon as Dou Luyu entered the door, Cui Che scolded him angrily, even though Dou Luyu had already stated that he was ordered by the emperor to draft the abdication edict, and brought out the officials as proof.

But Cui Che didn't listen to his excuse, Cui Che said furiously:
"The son of heaven is young, his heart is immature, or he has acted stubbornly. Those who are ministers should persuade the king.

"Yu Si, you are the emperor's uncle, Yu Gong, you are the emperor's minister, how can you let him do anything wrong!"

Dou Luyu repeatedly kowtowed to plead guilty, but Cui Che couldn't calm down his anger. He shouted at the guards:

"Left and right! Take off his official uniform, take this dog for me, and send him to Jinyang early tomorrow morning!"

When Dou Luyu heard this, the two were fighting. At this moment, he really didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Cui Che's gourd.

The guards roughly stripped Dou Luyu of his official uniform and dragged him out.

"Your Majesty! You have been wronged! Your Majesty! I am absolutely sincere to you."

As Dou Luyu walked further and further away, his voice gradually became inaudible.

Cui Che flicked his sleeves, got up and left the table, and went back to the backyard to rest.

Passing the garden, I saw a woman in plain clothes looking up at the moon in the gazebo. It was Mrs. Dou who had just experienced the pain of losing her husband.

Cui Che coughed lightly, and Mrs. Dou came back to her senses, saw Cui Che, and hurriedly saluted:

"My concubine pays homage to the king."

"Master Taishui, there is no need to be polite."

Cui Che hurried forward to help Dou Shi up, the moment the two of them made contact, Dou Shi quickly withdrew his hand like a frightened rabbit.

"Master Tai Shui stays up late at night, looking up at the bright moon, but mourning Yue Weng?"

The atmosphere was a bit awkward, Cui Che quickly changed the subject and asked.

Dou shook his head, sighed and said:
"The concubine heard that the sage wanted to abdicate, and thought of my uncle's family. I was so thoughtful that I couldn't fall asleep."

Dou was raised in the palace by Yu Wenyong since she was a child, and she was extremely loved and affectionate, just like a father and daughter.

Cui Che heard this and said with emotion:

"Emperor Gaozu (Yu Wenyong) of the former dynasty was also very kind to me."

There was no one around, and the guards on the left and right backed away winkingly after receiving the signal from Cui Che's eyes.

They have followed Cui Che for many years, and they are able to guard around with swords, so they are naturally the most trusted.

Knowing Cui Che's character well, how could he stay on such an occasion? After all, most people have heard about Cui Che's entanglement with Mrs. Dou when they were young.

Without the interruption from outsiders, Cui Che summoned up his courage and talked about an old story:
"When your uncle passed away, I burned paper at home to pay homage and promised to take care of you for him."

Hearing this, Mrs. Dou subconsciously avoided Cui Che's fiery gaze, blushed and said:

"Your Majesty is talking nonsense, when my uncle passed away, my concubine was already married.

"Furthermore, my concubine is now a filial piety for her husband, and her daughter is married to the king, why are you still telling me these old things?"

Cui Che got closer and closer, Dou wanted to dodge, but the gazebo is so big, where can she retreat, seeing Cui Che forced her to the pillar of the pavilion, Cui Che finally stopped her steps forward, he said seriously:
"I tell you this just to let you understand that the rumors are not false, and I really admire you.

"If Li Yuan died of illness or old age, I would disregard everything and marry you in, it would be considered as an explanation to my former self.

"But he died fighting for me. I can only let go of my love for you and not insult his widow."

When Dou heard this, her heart beat faster and her mind had stopped. When she came back to her senses, Cui Che had already left.

With complicated emotions in mind, Mrs. Dou returned to her wing room and stayed up all night without sleep.

Dou Luyu, who also had trouble falling asleep, was temporarily detained. He really didn't know what he had done wrong.

Isn't it Cui Che's longing for the court to usurp the throne? He doesn't really want to be a loyal minister, does he?

It wasn't until dawn that Xue Shou came to carry him to the prison van, and gave Dou Luyu some relief on the way.
