On the occasion of rebirth Zhou Sui

Chapter 582 Father and Son Dispute
Luoyang Palace, side hall.

Cui Che called Taiwei Liu Fang into the palace, waited for Liu Fang to enter the palace, and then screened out the eunuchs and maidservants, leaving only Liu Fang alone.

Liu Fang didn't know why, and said in doubt:
"His Majesty."

Cui Che raised his hand, interrupted Liu Fang's question, and said:

"Today, I summoned the Taiwei because there is one thing, I have to ask the Taiwei to come forward."

Liu Fangsu Rong said:
"Please also express your majesty."

Cui Che said in a deep voice:
"I want to use Liang Wang (Cui Yanqing) to change the town of Xuzhou, and use Tai Wei to assist him."

Liu Fang was very surprised, it wasn't that he and Cui Yanqing were at odds, the two were sons-in-law after all, although they didn't have much contact with each other, on the surface they were getting along.

What surprised him was the meaning behind Cui Che's arrangement.

"Your Majesty wants to use the King of Liang as the commander, and send troops from Xuzhou to conquer the Puppet Sui?"

However, Cui Che shook his head and said:
"No, I have already discussed it with the crown prince, and both think that Jingxiang should be drawn first."

Liu Fang suddenly realized that Cui Che's move was to emulate Yang Jian's arrangement when Nanchen was destroyed. Yang Jian changed the town of Shouzhou with Yang Guang at that time, and Gao Jiong, who was the long history, was the actual commander.

But Cui Che's actual purpose was to confuse Yang Guang and make him mistakenly believe that the Yan Dynasty's main attack direction would be in Huainan, and to build a defense line along the Huaihe River with heavy troops.

Having figured out Cui Che's intentions, Liu Fang naturally would not refuse.

He has a cautious temperament, and he is well aware of the saying that the master of great power shakes up the master. If he is really asked to assist Liang Wang Cui Yanqing in the southern expedition, Liu Fang may still be frightened by it.

After all, as early as when Cui Che was the governor of Qingzhou, Liu Fang had already served as Sima of the governor's office, assisting Cui Che in handling military affairs.

Now, together with Fang Xuanling, he is Cui Che's right-hand man in handling major military and political affairs.

In fact, after Cui Che occupied Jinyang and actually took control of the Jinyang small court, it was also Liu Fang's own request that Liu Fang no longer lead the army.

As the governor of Dingzhou, he followed Cui Che to raise troops, and he had already established his position as the number one hero, so he didn't need to seek new meritorious service.

If he loses, he will be stigmatized, but if he wins, he will also be feared by Cui Che. It can be said that winning or losing is not a favor, so it is better to give up military power, sit firmly as the number one hero, and watch those rising stars They fight for fame and wealth.

Moreover, after the founding of the Yan Kingdom, Liu Fang was worshiped as a Taiwei by Cui Che, and he became the number one figure in the Yan military in the eyes of the world.

The achievement of destroying the country can be described as a hot potato for Liu Fang.

While the two were talking, an eunuch outside the hall reported:

"Your Majesty, the King of Liang is returning to court in response to the imperial edict and is seeking an audience outside the hall."

"Xuan."

Cui Yanqing saw his father Cui Che and his father-in-law Liu Fang in the hall at the entrance of the side hall.

He didn't dare to step in for a while, fearing that his wife Liu Shi and his father would complain about him, and now Liu Fang complained to his father.

But after thinking about it, although he and Liu Shi have not been a husband and wife in the past few years, they can be regarded as a harmonious husband and wife, and even have a pair of children. It is impossible for Liu Fang to complain to his father for his daughter.

Cui Che saw Cui Yanqing hesitating at the palace gate and said displeased:

"What are you doing standing outside the hall, why don't you come in!"

When Cui Yanqing heard her father's urging, she hurried into the hall to salute the two without waiting to understand the details.

"Get up."

Cui Che raised his right hand falsely, without any twists and turns, he spoke directly to Cui Yanqing:

"I'm not calling you here for anything else. You've been in Qingzhou for several years. It's time for you to change places."

When Cui Yanqing heard this, he thought to himself: Could it be that he wants me to control Hedong instead?

His guess is not unreasonable. Guannei Road has King Yong Cui Yanzong, and Hebei Road is reserved for King Wei Cui Youzhi. He was in Henan Road before, and there is a high probability that he will go to Hedong Road.

After all, Longyou Road is too remote, and Huaihe Road is on the front line.

After Cui Che repeated what he said to Liu Fang before, Cui Yanqing bowed and said:
"The child obeys the orders of the emperor."

But there was still a look of disappointment in my heart.

At first, he really thought that his father would let him send troops from Xuzhou, as the nominal commander of Nanzheng, but in the end, his father still wouldn't give him the slightest chance to participate in the seizure of the heir.

Fortunately, Cui Yanqing also knew that Cui Che was trying to protect him, and quickly adjusted his mood.

The next day, at the court meeting, Sun Wuji, the eldest son of Zhongshushe, held the edict in his hand and waited for a long time.

The eldest grandson Wuji, Xue Shou and others who used to serve Cui Che's side have all gone out of office and are members of Zhongshushe. Although their rank is low, they are all close ministers of the emperor.

After listening to the discussions of the ministers, Cui Che immediately ordered his elder Sun Wuji to announce the appointment of Cui Yanqing.

When it was learned that Cui Yanqing, king of Liang, had changed his title to king of Wu, set up Daxingtai on the Huaihe River, and moved the town to Xuzhou with King Wu as the minister.

Taiwei Liu Fang shot for the left servant, and Li Jing, the former governor of Xuzhou, shot for the right servant.

All civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty were shocked, and even many people in the front could see the prince Cui Qiji secretly clenched his fists, as if desperately trying to suppress the anger in his heart.

Such an arrangement is really not difficult to remind people of the old practice of Yang Guang taking part in seizing the heir for the sake of destroying the country.

But Cui Yanqing couldn't hide her joy, even when she thanked her, the joy in her tone was so obvious.

After the dynasty was over, new anecdotes spread from the palace. It is said that the prince Cui Qiji had a dispute with his father Cui Che, but outsiders have no way of knowing the details. All they know is that Cui Qiji received thirty sticks and was driven back to the East Palace by Cui Che, where he was grounded. reflect.

In the bedroom of the Eastern Palace, the Crown Princess Yang looked at the bruises on her husband's buttocks, she wept and applied medicine for him, and complained:

"Well, what kind of dispute do you have with the saint?"

Cui Qiji seemed to be still angry, he said bitterly:

"In the previous dynasties, the brothers fought each other, so the father and emperor started the foundation. The lessons learned from the past are vivid, but the father turned a deaf ear to it, so he forced the third younger brother to move to Xuzhou, and he took command of the southern expedition.

"If the third brother returns to the court with the merits of destroying the country in the future, how should I deal with myself.

"Father is clearly suspicious of me, and wants to support the third younger brother to check and balance the East Palace."

The princess comforted and said:

"Nanzheng is still missing."

Cui Qiji hummed:
"What do you know."

After all, he strictly ordered the maids serving in the bedroom to keep their mouths shut.

Soon, Wei Wang Cui Youzhi, who learned of this, hurried to the East Palace to visit his father Cui Qiji.

When Cui Qiji saw his son coming, he waved his hand to screen away the servant girl, and while the princess was out to decoct the medicine, Cui Qiji asked Cui Youzhi:
"You see it all?"

Cui Youzhi nodded, recalling the many fresh vocabulary his grandfather taught him, and said:

"The drama is too fake."

After a pause, Cui Youzhi added:
"Grandpa's play is too fake."

Both Cui Qiji and Cui Youzhi were taught by Cui Che, so he naturally understood what Cui Youzhi meant, and he retorted with a blushing face:

"Your grandfather asked me to act in this scene temporarily, and he didn't give me any time to prepare."

As he spoke, Cui Qiji exhorted:
"Keep it from your mother."

"Before the baby came, the emperor's grandfather had already told him."

After Cui Youzhi finished speaking, he heard footsteps outside the door, both father and son shut their mouths.
