On the occasion of rebirth Zhou Sui

Chapter 60
The winter solstice is a day for family reunion. Even the Empress Dowager Yang Lihua went out of the city with the little emperor to worship heaven, and with the consent of the little emperor, she brought Princess Yuwen Eying back to her natal family to visit her relatives.

Only the eldest son Yang Yong was out of town in Luoyang, and it was difficult to get together, but he also sent someone back to Beijing in advance, and sent greetings today at the right time.

After Yang Guang bid farewell to Cui Che and returned to his residence, Yuwen Eying threw himself into his arms, yelling that he wanted to avenge his second uncle and seek trouble for Cui Che.

It turned out that she was still thinking about the second uncle being beaten.

Yang Guang stroked his niece's head, his eyes were full of kindness, and he patiently explained his relationship with Cui Che to her.

On the side, the fifth brother Yang Liang, who was only six years old, fell down while chasing and playing with his eight-year-old fourth brother Yang Xiu. Yang Guang hurriedly picked him up and patted the dust off his body for the fifth brother.

Seeing that the skin on Yang Liang's arm was broken and bleeding, Yang Guang asked his parents for instructions, and took Yang Liang's hand to treat the wound.

While walking, he was still muttering to tell Yang Liang to be more careful in the future and not to bump into him again. He didn't talk like a 13-year-old boy, but his concern for his younger brother was beyond words.

All of this naturally fell into the eyes of Yang Jian and Dugu Jialuo.

Before Yang Guang and Cui Che parted ways, Cui Che once presented them with sixteen characters, namely, "Be filial to your parents, love your brothers; don't accept concubines, don't admire luxury." '

The words fit Yang Guang's heart, and he decided to use it to hold his body.

Leaving aside the matter of the Yang family, Cui Che returned to the mansion only to find that Yuchi Chifan was secretly paying homage to his father and ancestor.

At first, he thought it was Yuchi Chifan's cooking, but after looking at the lunch box, he realized that it was Yang Xuangan's maid who brought the food.

Cui Che walked over, knelt down and asked Yuchi Chifan:

"Mr. Yuchi doesn't mind sharing a table with others, does he?"

Yuchi Chifan didn't understand what table sharing meant, but Cui Che was already burning paper money there, and said to himself:
"Mr. Yuchi, if you don't want to sit with my father and grandparents, just say so."

After finishing speaking, he turned back to Yuchi Chifan with a smile and said:
"You see, your grandfather acquiesced."

Immediately, Cui Che ignored Yu Chi Chifan's astonished expression, got up and ran to the ancestral hall, and hugged the memorial tablets of Cui Jishu, Cui Changjun, Cui Jingxuan and other relatives, and still muttered:

"Don't blame my grandson for asking you to eat with others. There are still people who are hungry in this world. It's good to have a stutter these days. Let's deal with it for the time being. There are no slaves in the house. It's too much to do too much." Trouble, I will buy you a table of food and wine on the first day, please go back to Duke Yuchi."

Cui Che calculated the itinerary, Pei Xiu and the others should also come to Chang'an during the New Year, so he doesn't need to do it himself, naturally he has to offer Cui Jishu the big fish and meat.

Yuchi Chifan was shocked that Cui Che was just out of trouble, so he fooled the ancestor worship.

But thinking that it was such a person who took care of herself everywhere when she first came here, warmed my heart.

After the winter solstice holiday, Cui Che returned to the prime minister's mansion to be on duty. He didn't wait for Xiumu five days later, but he heard the news of Wei Xiaokuan's death on November 23.

There is no so-called conspiracy theory about Wei Xiaokuan's death. At the age of 72, it is normal that he did not survive the cold winter.

It's just that Cui Che also heard another theory, which said that after Wei Xiaokuan captured Yebei City, he buried all the rebels in the city alive, causing anger and resentment, and ruining his life.

Regardless of whether or not Wei Xiaokuan harmed Yin De, he did not survive to receive the reward for calming the chaos.

Yang Jian asked Cui Che to draft a document to posthumously present to Wei Xiaokuan the envoys Jie, Taifu, Shangzhu Kingdom, Duduhuai, Heng, Li, Xiang, Zhao, Ming, Bei, Cang, Ying, Wei, Ji and other eleven prefectures' military forces, Yongzhou animal husbandry.

Wei Xiaokuan took good care of Cui Che, and also had words of encouragement, which still linger in his ears.

'You will not waste your life, you must make a difference! '

Yang Jian brought all the staff from the Prime Minister's Mansion to offer condolences, and Cui Che was among them.

Back at the Yamen Office, Yang Jian gave Cui Che a task, which was naturally to write a sacrificial oration for Wei Xiaokuan, to be recited by him as a farewell when he sealed the land.

Wei Xiaokuan's funeral will last for a while, so Cui Che also has time to polish it carefully.

During this period of time, when he returned to the mansion, Cui Che was obsessed with pondering over and over again his words and sentences. Fortunately, his hard work paid off, and Brother Che finally produced a good article and presented it to Yang Jian.

In terms of literary talent, this article is even better than "Ping Chen Ce". After Yang Jian read it, he couldn't put it down. In addition to his praise, he even rewarded Cui Che with 300 pieces of silk. The governor's salary for one year.

In the Northern Qi Dynasty, cloth and silk were used as salary, but in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, corn was handed out. The most humble official with the first rank was 125 shi, the second-ranked official was 250 shi, the third-ranked official Cui Che belonged to was 500 shi, the fourth-ranked official was 1000 shi, and the fifth-ranked official was 2000 shi. 4000 shi, 6000 shi for officials with six lives, 7000 shi for officials with seven lives, [-] shi for officials with eight lives, and [-] shi for officials with nine lives.

For example, Cui Jishuna and other people who give nine lives posthumously are honored after death, and they cannot get ten thousand stones of corn.

300 pieces of cloth were transported to Cui's mansion that night. Brother Che looked at the cloth and silk that covered half of the room, with a bright smile on his face.

Before recruiting [-] plays, except for the two residential land deeds of Yongtong Wanguo and Boling's hometown that I brought, it can be said that the floating wealth of the family was wiped out, and the property left in Chang'an disappeared, which made the situation worse.

Cui Che reported the crime, but there was no follow-up, and he no longer had any hope of recovering the property.

When Wei Xiaokuan returned to his teacher, Chang'an, he released Cui Che's [-] plays. After all, they had meritorious service in dedicating the city and could be distinguished from ordinary captives.

In the name of repatriation, Cui Che asked Zhang Wu to take them back to Boling Manor. Most of them were the sons of the manor and the tenants who plowed the fields. Registered household registration, so as not to be regarded as a hidden household.

If the 3000 mu of land is distributed, the average per capita is less than [-] mu. These [-] people are farmers during the busy season, and they have to practice with Zhang Wu during the off-season, and then use the manor's output to support them during the training period. Cui Che naturally can't count on his family to support him, so it's good enough not to reach out to him.

The trilogy of private soldiers is actually nothing new among the gentry in Hebei. Besides, Cui Che also mentioned to Yang Jian that he hoped to bring his family trilogy with the army during the southern expedition in the future, so as to win military exploits and be awarded a title. Yang Jian also agreed.

It's just that when more than 100 servants and maidservants come to Chang'an, they will all spend on food and clothing. When they use up the 500 yuan on their bodies, how can they support this family with a salary of [-] shi.

Cui Che thought to himself, Mu Xieli's shop had to continue to be open, and it was considered as a subsidy for the family. If she didn't want to show her face again, she would find a clever maid in the mansion to be the shopkeeper. As for the goods, she would just sell rouge.

With the death of Emperor Tianyuan, the extremely inhumane edict, which forbade women, including officials and family members, to paint and smear, was abolished immediately.

In addition to winning people's hearts, Prime Minister Yang's action was probably also urged by Dugu Jialuo behind his back.
