On the occasion of rebirth Zhou Sui

Chapter 61 Restoring the old surname
On November 27th of the second year of the Elephant Elephant, Wenxi in Hedong, Pei Xiu finally received the news from Cui Che, Pei Xiu, Cui Zhaorong, Miao Rong, and Mu Xieli who knew the inside story would not make a fuss about Cui Che being exonerated, but He was also surprised that he was conscripted to join the army as a secretary of the prime minister's mansion, let alone a servant and maidservant of the mansion.

When Pei Xiu and the others were packing their bags, the news also spread. At first Wen Xi and the people didn't believe it.

Committing the felony of treason, he was exonerated by the emperor with only one policy document, and was even favored by the prime minister and accepted as an aide. What kind of fantasy is this.

But later, the official who conscripted Pei Ju into the capital confirmed this statement, and this official document was written by Brother Che.

Now people couldn't help but believe it. While everyone was shocked and envious, the news spread from Wenxi to the rest of Kanto. Countless people were curious about the content of the article, but they only knew it was related to Pingchen.

At the same time, the Governor of Hedong County immediately sent people to Pei Mansion to enlist Pei Xiu as a meritorious officer.

The most indispensable thing in this world is the icing on the cake. Previously, he was worried that Pei Xiu would be implicated by Cui Che, and recruiting him would cause him to get involved.

Now that Cui Che is not only exonerated, but also relied on by the Prime Minister, the Governor of Hedong County is naturally happy to provide Pei Xiu with an opportunity to become an official.

"Mother, my son intends to accept the levy of the county guard."

Pei Xiu thought over and over again, and finally mustered up the courage to talk to Cui Zhaorong.

No matter how close they are, they all have their own way to go. Pei Xiu knew in her heart that if she went to Chang'an, it would be difficult for him to become an official. She was her cousin, and she didn't want to depend on her for the rest of her life, but also wanted to make a difference.

"My mother is just a woman, and I don't understand your men's ambitions, but since you are an adult, you have a sense of proportion, and you don't need to ask for instructions on everything."

Cui Zhaorong can understand that his son also has his own pride.

Pei Xiu then went to pay homage to the prefect's mansion, and made a request to allow him to go to Chang'an and escort Cui Che's family to Beijing.

The governor of Hedong County was also happy to do this favor, and readily agreed on the spot.

County Meritorious Cao is a subordinate officer of the county guard. It is undoubtedly a good job to participate in the government affairs of a county, to be in charge of official affairs or the election of the chief.

Of course, the eggs will not be put in one basket, and the Governor of Hedong has not harassed Pei Ju's mansion in the past few days.

After all, the most worrying thing about sending officials abroad is that there is no one in the court to speak for them.

Pei Ju, who kept filial piety for his mother, also took off his filial obedience. In response to Yang Jian's conquest, he will go to Chang'an to meet Pei Xiu's family.

After Pei Xiu, Pei Ju and others set off, Chang'an City, or the Prime Minister's Mansion was also very lively, and this excitement revolved around an issue, that is, restoring the old surname.

The predecessor of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, that is, the Western Wei Dynasty, in order to reduce the resistance of Sinicization, Yu Wentai gave the Han officials the Xianbei surname. The reason why Jiong's surname is Dugu is that his father Gao Bin worked for Duguxin.

Although this approach has enhanced the cohesion of the army, it will inevitably cause many problems.

But in the final analysis, Yang Jian's proposal to restore the old surname is still serving his own ambitions.

Many important officials of the Han nationality were given the surname Yuwen, and the Cui family in Boling alone included Cui Hongdu, Cui Xuanyou and others. If Yang Jian wanted to usurp the throne, he naturally did not want them to bear the Yuwen surname.

The discussion of restoring the old surname was intentionally released, and it has become the most concerned issue of Chang'an Shimin.

And Yang Jian is also observing the attitude of the minister of Xianbei.

The Xianbei forces in Kansai are roughly divided into two sources. One is the North Town Xianbei who entered the pass with He Bayue, such as the Yuwen family, Hou Mochen family, Yuchi family, etc., and the other is the Northern Wei Emperor Xiaowu who was captured by Gao Huan. Persecuted, he fled to Luoyang Xianbei in Guanzhong.

Luoyang Xianbei belongs to a highly Sinicized group, and it is not a big problem for them to change back to the Han surname bestowed by Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

What Yang Jian was concerned about was the attitude of the descendants of Xianbei in Beizhen, but he obviously worried too much.

It is true that during Yuwentai’s period, Beizhen Xianbei’s interests were violated due to Emperor Xiaowen’s Sinicization policy, and he had a strong resistance to Sinicization. Otherwise, Yuwentai would not do anything unnecessary and change the surname of the Han people.

But after so many years, the group of Beizhen Xianbei who followed He Bayue to start a business in Guanzhong almost died of old age. After all, even Yu Wentai among those people was only a young generation.

The descendants of these people have not experienced the miserable life in Beizhen, nor do they have the attitude towards Sinicization that their fathers and grandparents regarded as a scourge.

On the contrary, in the case of material life without worries, there is somewhat a need for spiritual civilization, and the advanced nature of Han culture compared with Xianbei culture does not need to be repeated.

Therefore, Yang Jian released the trend of restoring the old surname, but it did not arouse too much opposition. On the contrary, many Han ministers and even Xianbei ministers actively supported it.

Cui Hongdu, Cui Xuanyou and other Han people who were bestowed on the Yuwen family wished to take off this hat immediately.

On December [-], after being sure that no serious consequences would be caused, Yang Jian ordered Cui Che to draft a draft and officially present it, requesting that those who changed their surnames to Xianbei during the Western Wei Dynasty, regardless of whether they were officials or civilians, should restore their old surnames.

On December [-], after a symbolic court meeting, the little emperor agreed to issue an imperial edict.

From then on, Pu Liuru Jian was changed to Yang Jian, Daye Yuan could also call himself Li Yuan, and the daughter of the Dou family became Mrs. Li.
With Yang Lihua's political sense, of course she was not aware of her father's real intention to change her surname, but even she could sense something was wrong with what happened the next day.

"For the Prime Minister! Chief Baikui! Enter the rank and become the king! Praise and worship are not famous! Prepare the gift of nine tins! What does father want to do!"

In the main hall of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Yang Lihua threw a letter of memorial on the ground, gritted her teeth in hatred.

With this set of standard procedures for power ministers to usurp the country, even Yang Lihua could clearly see his father's ambitions. Unless Yang Jian ordered it, otherwise there would be so many memorials for him.

The scribes in the main hall all left with winking eyes when she rushed in angrily. At that time, Cui Che was looking through the past memorials in his own room. far away.

Yang Jian did not answer directly, but severely reprimanded:
"This is the tone of your speech to your father! Even if you are the empress dowager, I am still your father! Important affairs in the court are not something you, a woman, can talk about!"

His voice was stern, but he revealed a guilty conscience.

Yang Lihua's lips trembled slightly, she finally came to her senses, choked up and said:

"Father still remember how his daughter taught me when she was not married?"

After all, without waiting for Yang Jian to answer, he left sadly with tears in his eyes.

Yang Jian felt a great headache, and regretted that he had raised his daughter too virtuously, and because of his status as a aunt, he really regarded the little emperor Yu Wenchan as his own son.

On that day, the little emperor issued an imperial edict, bestowing special gifts on Yang Jian's entry into the Xiangguo, Zongbaikui, and titles, and taking Anlu and other [-] counties as Suiguo.

Yang Jian made a firm statement, and after a lot of pushback, he finally only accepted the king and the ten counties as the kingdom.
