Chapter 570
Yuwen Shiji's letter of surrender had already been delivered to Cui Che.

If it were someone else, Cui Che might have doubts, thinking that the other party was cheating.

But Yu Wenhuaji, Yuwen Shiji, Yuwenzhi and the three brothers' loyalty to Yang Guang, he was very clear.

Cui Che did not have any doubts about Yuwen Shiji's sincerity, and immediately ordered his servant Pei Xiu to personally inquire about the contact with Yuwen Shiji in the future, and if there is any news, he will report to himself as soon as possible.

After all, Yuwen Shi and the three brothers, in Yang Guang's heart, are utterly loyal.

Now Yu Wenshi and his follower Qi Wang Yang Wei are sitting in Shu, and they are his confidantes, so they must be able to pass on a lot of valuable information.

As for the upper echelon of the Observation Department, it has undergone a major reshuffle. Zhao Wen and Zhao Mu, who were previously in charge of the internal and external offices, have left their posts one after another.

Zhao Wen went to Longyou Road to serve as a supervisor, while Zhao Mu wrote to Cui Che to beg for his bones because of his old age.

Zhao Mu is indeed very old now. He once served as the governor of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and the Northern Qi Dynasty has been destroyed for more than 30 years.

Including Zhao Mu, Fang Yanqian, Wang Dangwan, Dong Jing, Qin Ai, Cheng Lou and others, many former officials of the Northern Qi Dynasty have passed their sixties and are approaching the age of seventy.

Some of them are old and frail, and some miss their homeland.

After the founding of Dayan, many people asked Cui Che to send him a scholar.

After all, they had already witnessed the founding of Dayan, and the Guandong gentry no longer needed to be oppressed by the nobles of Guan Long. For these former Northern Qi officials, the ambition they made with Cui Che at the beginning has now been realized, and it is time to take care of themselves.

However, Cui Che refused to let them all go.

For someone like Zhao Mu whose body was overwhelmed, Cui Che rewarded him with property and allowed him to return to his hometown in honor.

But for someone like Wang Dangwan who is in good health because he has been in Liaodong for a long time and misses his homeland, Cui Che will personally write a letter to appease him, hoping that he can continue to guard the border for the country and protect the people of one side.

Wang Dangwan wrote the speech to Jinyang at the end of last year. After receiving Cui Che's reply, Wang Dangwan was both happy and sad.

The joy is that Cui Che still has a lot of trust in him, and between the lines, he can fully feel that Emperor Dayan relies heavily on him.

The sad thing is that for this faith and love, I am afraid that I will die of old age in Liaodong, and I can only wait for the coffin to be transported back to my hometown in the Central Plains.

Especially after Cui Yanzong was conscripted back to the court, Wang Dangwan was appointed the governor of Liaodong and paid homage to the Duke. He could only stay in Liaodong and together with Youzhou governor Zhang Wu frightened Kumoxi, Khitan, and Goguryeo.

Since Zhao Mu and Zhao Wen resigned, Cui Che handed over the observation department to Pei Xiu, who served as the commander, and dispatched two deputy envoys to preside over the affairs of the inner office and the outer office respectively.

Inside the Daming Hall, Cui Che had just finished explaining the business to Pei Xiu, when he saw a small head protruding from the outside of the hall, lying on the doorpost, looking inside.

Except Wei Wang Cui Youzhi, who else has the guts to eavesdrop on Cui Che's meeting with ministers?

"Enough is enough, don't come in!"

Cui Che purposely said with a straight face.

Cui Youzhi stuck out his tongue, and the five-year-old child ran in on his short legs.

"The grandson pays his respects to the emperor's grandfather."

Cui Youzhi first bowed obediently to Cui Che, and after Cui Che asked him to get up, he said to Pei Xiu:
"My cousin, Badger is being polite here."

Pei Xiu quickly waved her hand:

"An old minister can't be a gift from the King of Wei."

Cui Che called Cui Youzhi to his side, stroked his little head, and teased Pei Xiu:
"You and I have depended on each other since we were young, and when we get along in private, don't be rigid about the etiquette of the monarch and his ministers.

"You are Badger's elder, but you refuse to accept his gift, could it be that you don't recognize me as a relative?
"Duke Yu, don't think too highly of yourself."

After all, the two looked at each other and smiled, as if returning to the time when they were young and making jokes.

After Pei Xiu left, Cui Che hugged Cui Youzhi on his lap and asked:

"Why did Badger come to the front hall today?"

Cui Youzhi pursed his lips, and said with an aggrieved face:

"Grandfather wants to make decisions for his grandson. Grandmother found several gentlemen for me. The homework is full. My grandson is really out of breath. Today, I still found an opportunity to secretly come to see Grandfather."

Cui Che laughed loudly when he heard the words, and immediately retreated all the eunuchs and maidservants serving in the palace. He took off his hanging crown, pointed at it and said:
"This is my crown, and it will also be worn on your head in the future. If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight."

As he spoke, Cui Che put the crown on Cui Youzhi's head.

Cui Youzhi's head was too small, and the crown covered his eyes.

"Grandfather, this crown is not heavy."

Cui Youzhi didn't understand why the imperial grandfather emphasized the weight of the crown.

Cui Che took off the crown again, and said earnestly:
"Isn't it heavy? Grandfather, I wear it with trepidation, not daring to slack off in the slightest.

"Precisely because as long as you wear it, you are shouldering the life and death of billions of people. Don't you think it's not heavy?"

Cui Youzhi nodded thoughtfully:
"It is indeed a great responsibility."

A trace of relief flashed in Cui Che's eyes, and he continued:

"If you don't study hard now, you won't be able to match your virtue and talent in the future, so how can you afford to wear this crown.

"Your father and I can't trust you to entrust this inheritance and the life and death of billions of people to you."

After Cui Youzhi heard this, he immediately jumped off Cui Che's lap. Cui Che said suspiciously:

"What do you mean, Badger?"

Cui Youzhi's immature face said seriously:
"My grandson will remember the teachings of the imperial grandfather and I will go back to study now.

"The grandson will not disappoint the imperial grandfather, and will definitely be able to bear the weight of the crown in the future."

Cui Che felt even more fond of him when he saw his serious expression.

Yang Zhao was praised by Yang Jian for being an elder when he was three years old, and his five-year-old Cui Youzhi was as intelligent as he was.

Having experienced Cui Che's persuasion, Cui Youzhi also gained a new understanding of the heavy schoolwork. He usually stayed in the palace and studied with the gentlemen.

But Cui Che obviously knows how to combine work and rest, and occasionally he will take Cui Youzhi out of the palace to play on the grounds of visiting the suffering of the people.

Since Cui Youzhi was born, he was taken to Jinyang before the full moon, and grew up in the high walls and deep courtyards of King Yan's Mansion and Daming Palace.

Without personal experience and personal experience, even if Cui Che broke his mouth with him, Cui Youzhi would not be able to understand the various situations in the world.

After all, in this city of Jinyang, how can we see the real suffering of the people.

Cui Che is also preparing to inspect Hebei.

There is my own land of Longxing, but since I took over Jinyang, I have never been back to Hebei. It's time to go back and have a look.

It happened to take Cui Youzhi around by the way, and let him see the world beyond Jinyang.

Know how the poor people work hard to live.

Of course, the premise of all this is that Cui Qiji has to return to the capital, and Cui Che can go on tour with peace of mind if he is the prince to oversee the country.
