On the occasion of rebirth Zhou Sui

Chapter 583 Farewell in the Palace
Cui Che once had a nightmare, dreaming that Yang Guang went back to Luoyang and captured his whole family.

Yang Guang asked his daughter Princess Nanyang:
"Cui Che's betrayal caused the anger of both men and gods, and the family must be destroyed. The son of the princess should follow the law, and if he can't cut off his love, he will be allowed to stay. '

However, Princess Nanyang said:
"Father and emperor punished rebellion, why should we ask about this matter?" '

Sit and watch Cui Youzhi and Cui Youming die.

This is not only a dream, but it is actually caused by the memory in Cui Che's mind.

It's just different from his dream. In the original time and space, when Dou Jiande made it clear that she could keep her son Yuwen Jingli, Princess Nanyang chose to stand by and let Dou Jiande kill the ten-year-old Yuwen Jingli.

Cui Che believed that the princess loved her sons Cui Youzhi and Cui Youming deeply.

Otherwise, she would not have reconciled with Cui Qiji after Yang Lihua's persuasion.

In the Sui Dynasty, Cui Che had Yuwen scholars and such high-ranking internal support.

He also believed that Yang Guang was in the north and that his companions had their own sources of information.

Cui Che was not sure that it was the crown princess.

After all, the spy may be lurking in the court, or he may be a slave who came from the Jin Palace with the crown prince in his early years.

So he asked Cui Qiji to perform a play in the East Palace, and then verified through the correspondence between Yu Wenshi and his father Yu Wenshu to see if the story of the East Palace spread to the south of the Yangtze River, so that he could know whether there was really an internal response in the East Palace.

Of course, catching the inner ghost is secondary, the most important thing is to confuse Yang Guang, making him mistakenly think that Cui Yanqing will be the future coach of the Southern Expedition, and Huainan is his attack direction, completing strategic deception.

Wei Wang Cui Youzhi returned to Luoyang Palace from the East Palace, held hands with Cui Che's grandfather and grandson, and strolled in the imperial garden.

The attendants hung far behind, not daring to disturb them.

Cui Youzhi stopped suddenly, looked up at his grandfather, and asked:
"Grandfather, if the concubine mother really secretly communicated with Nanfang, how will you deal with it?"

Cui Che also stopped, pondered for a moment, and said:

"Your mother was not the only one in the East Palace at that time, there were also many slaves present.

"Even if the matter was leaked to the south, it cannot be said that your mother did it.

"Don't worry, no matter what, she is the mother of you and You Ming, and also the wife I am marrying for the crown prince.

"Even if it was really her doing, I will only confine her, and even retain her status as a princess."

If the Crown Princess is abolished, Cui Youzhi and Cui Youming will naturally be implicated.

And Cui Youzhi was brought up by Cui Che, and he is deeply loved by Cui Che.

Cui Che will not allow anything to hurt his legitimacy as Dayan's third generation successor in the future.

Cui Youzhi retorted:

"Grandfather, grandson thinks that even if there is an internal response in the East Palace, you should pretend not to know about it,

"No matter who leaked the news, instead of thoroughly investigating the internal affairs of the East Palace, it is better to keep it for my use. In the future, I can use him to pass false news to the pseudo-Sui."

Cui Che shook his head upon hearing this, and said seriously:

"Your suggestion is very good, if that person is in another government office, I will keep him.

"But since you can get in touch with your father, you must thoroughly investigate this matter.

"Leaving the internal response of the pseudo-Sui Dynasty can certainly deceive Yang Guang and be profitable, but the safety of your father and son is what I am most concerned about."

Seeing the deeply touched Cui Youzhi moisten his eyes, Cui Che rubbed his head and said with a smile:
"Whether there is an internal response in the East Palace or not is a matter of discussion, it is too early to say these things.

"Let's go, accompany grandfather to go fishing by the pond."

The next day, Cui Che was in Luoyang Palace for the Minister of Xingtai, Cui Yanqing, king of Wu, and the left servant of Xingtai shot Liu Fang farewell.

Prince Cui Qiji was unable to attend due to confinement in the East Palace.

Of course Cui Qiji's injury was not serious, but it just looked scary.

Liang Wang Cui Yanqing followed his father Cui Che's instructions, and appeared to be high-spirited in front of people, but Liu Fang's sad face was in stark contrast to him.

In this regard, the officials can also understand that for Liu Fang, no credit is the greatest credit.

During the banquet, Cui Che filled a glass for Liu Fang in front of the officials, and encouraged him:
"The sword has been treasured for seven years and has never been taken out of its sheath. Now I draw the sword and hope that your cold light will shine on the nine states."

The so-called sword is naturally referring to Liu Fang. He has not led the army for seven years, like a sword that has not been drawn for seven years.

Liu Fang excitedly said:

"Your Majesty believes in love, and the minister is so heartbroken that he should repay it!"

Cui Che was overjoyed when he heard that, he shouted:

"Bring the dagger!"

When Changsun Wuji presented the dagger, Cui Che opened his clothes, cut off the blood from his heart, dripped it into the cup, and said in front of everyone:
"Since ancient times, there have been meritorious deeds, but I and Su Guogong have known each other for [-] years, and we are brothers and sisters, sharing weal and woe.

"Today Su Guogong assisted the King of Wu to go out of the town of Xuzhou. I took the blood of my heart and drank with Su Guogong."

Then he said to Liu Fang:

"There is no need for Mr. Su to worry about going here, and I have absolutely no suspicions.

"If anyone dares to slander and separate me from Su Guogong, no matter who it is, I will kill him!"

Hearing this, Liu Fang wept bitterly, and after prostrating repeatedly, Cui Che helped him up and drank the blood of his heart with him.

The day after the farewell banquet, Wu King Cui Yanqing and Su Guogong Liu Fang were sent out of the city by the Emperor of Yan personally and headed for Xuzhou.

And Cui Che is not worrying for nothing. Before Cui Yanqing and his party went south, there were many things that happened in Luoyang Palace and East Palace in the past few days, even Cui Qiji complained to Cui Che in East Palace, which proved that the relationship between father and son was not good. harmony.

Neiying not only exists in the East Palace, but also in the court hall, but Cui Che is currently unable to know about it.

He still needs to wait for his internal response in the south to send back a message for verification.

Since Wu Wang Cui Yanqing left Luoyang, Dayan is already preparing for the big battle after the spring plowing next year.

Cui Che ordered to build a large warehouse in Yanzhou. Once the war breaks out, grain, grass,

All these actions indicated that Cui Che was about to send troops from Xuzhou, with the goal of invading Huainan and drinking horses along the Yangtze River.

Yang Guang was skeptical about this at first, until the news about the East Palace reached Jiankang, as evidence, and Yang Guang couldn't help but believe it for the sake of the play.

And Cui Che's performance at the farewell banquet convinced the emperor and ministers of the Sui Dynasty even more.

For this reason, Yang Guang sent the Xiaoguo Army to Huainan to operate the Huaihe defense line wantonly.

Because after Cui Yanqing arrived in Xuzhou, with the assistance of Liu Fang and Li Jing, he practiced soldiers and horses vigorously and made frequent moves.

He even transferred the navy to the Huaihe River by using war instead of training, which caused many conflicts with the Sui Dynasty navy.

Yang Guang was worried, and sent his confidant minister Yu Shiji to inspect.

After Yu Shiji returned, he boasted to Yang Guang that the Huaihe River defense line was impregnable and insurmountable.

Yang Guang thought he had nothing to worry about and began his enjoyment in Jiangnan again.

Even sleeping, it is rare not to be rocked by a woman.
