Chapter 170: The Cui Family
When Cui Hao hurriedly returned home, Cui Hong and his wife Lu had been waiting for a long time. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Cui Hong hadn't seen his son for two years, and he didn't expect that Cui Hao was only in his early twenties and was already in the position of assassin.
"Unfilial son Cui Hao, meet your father and mother."
As soon as he saw Cui Hao, he immediately knelt on the ground and asked his parents for peace.
In Cui's house, Cui Hao's family of three hugged their heads and cried, and Cui Xiao next to him was also embarrassed when he saw this scene.
In the troubled times, there are too many tragedies of family separation, and there are very few people who are fortunate to be reunited like the one in front of them.
Lu Shi held his son's hand tightly, and he couldn't bear to let go no matter what, for fear that his son would disappear again in a blink of an eye.
It took a long time for everyone's emotions to gradually calm down, and then they had the opportunity to speak considerately.
"I almost forgot about my virtuous brother, Hao'er came to meet his uncle Cui Xiao."
In fact, Cui Hao had already discovered Cui Xiao, but his parents didn't speak, and he didn't want to ask.
Now as soon as he got his father's orders, he hurriedly stepped forward and said to Cui Xiao: "Nephew, I've seen my uncle." ”
"Virtuous nephews don't have to be polite, please get up quickly."
Cui Xiao accepted Cui Hao's salute, turned his head to look at Cui Hong, and said: "If it is really as my brother said, the virtuous nephew is a talent, no wonder he is already in the high position of the assassin at a young age." ”
"My nephew has today's achievements, all because of the care and trust of most of them, and I really don't dare to be praised by my uncle."
Cui Hong looked at his son with a modest face, and suddenly understood, it seems that Wei Shuo is really a person worthy of assistance, otherwise with his son's heart and arrogance, I am afraid that he would have already left Hexi, and he would never talk about Wei Shuo like now.
"It seems that Wei Dadu is very good at protecting fruits, otherwise the virtuous nephew would not praise him."
Speaking of Wei Shuo, Cui Haodeng's eyebrows danced, and he introduced himself to his father and uncle.
"My father and uncle have never been in contact with Daduhu, so I definitely can't imagine that the Han family also has such a British thing!"
"His military strategy is not inferior to that of Wei Wu and Cao Cao, and he has the open-mindedness of Han Guangwu and Liu Xiu."
"If it takes time to regain the lost territory and drive out the Hulu, it is none other than the protection of the capital!"
"Really...... Really, fake? ”
After listening to Cui Hao's comments, Cui Hong and Cui Xiao were stunned.
They had heard more or less rumors about Wei Shuo before, and there were both good and bad, or even worse.
Therefore, if it weren't for his son Cui Hao being an official in Hexi, Cui Hong might not have chosen to take refuge in Hexi.
Similarly, if it weren't for Cui Hong's repeated invitations, Cui Xiao might have entered Houyan as an official.
Seeing Cui Hao's evaluation of Wei Shuo so high today, it somewhat surprised Cui Hong and Cui Xiao.
"Do my father and uncle think that I think I have too high an opinion of Wei Shuo?"
"Is that Wei Wu Cao Cao? In the past 100 years, there has not been a heroic hero of the Han family. ”
"However, in addition to many figures, such as Shi Le, Liu Yao, and Murong Hao, Hu Lu's military talent may be comparable to Wei Wu's, but his political strategy and statecraft are not much worse."
In fact, before the Song Dynasty, the evaluation of Cao Cao by previous dynasties was still very polite and fair.
It was not until the Song Dynasty that, out of political necessity, he belittled and slandered Cao Cao.
The Song Dynasty was a cowardly dynasty that could not defeat the northern nomads by force, and in order to elevate itself, or to achieve spiritual victory, it had to preach the so-called orthodoxy politically and culturally.
"Before I came, my father and uncle must have heard a lot of rumors, I don't know how to feel?"
"There are a lot of rumors, true and false are mixed together, which makes people inconsistent."
"But one thing is very certain, everyone says that most of them are protective and hostile to the family, and the policies they implement are all to restrict the family."
"That's true." Cui Hao did not deny it, and very generously admitted that Wei Shuo was hostile to the family.
After all, this is not a secret, and when you come to Hexi, you only need to observe a little to find out what is true and false.
"Why, then, does the virtuous nephew still work for him? Aren't you afraid of taking the Cui family under the knife in the future? It must be known that the Cui family is a top wealthy family in Hebei. ”
"Uncle's words are wrong, my lord is hostile to the family, but he will not destroy the family. As long as the family is willing to accept the transformation, it can still live well, which has been proven in Hexi. ”
"No matter how good it is, it can't be compared to having all kinds of privileges before." Cui Xiao seems to have come specifically to provoke thorns, targeting Hexi everywhere.
Fortunately, Cui Hao has a good temper, and the other party is an elder, so he explained again and again: "Speaking of privileges, Hao agrees with Dadu Hu to take it back, it is precisely because of breaking the monopoly of the family's privileges that Hexi can be twisted into a rope and swept Zhuhu in a short time." ”
"And after Hexi takes back the privileges of the family, no one in all places dares to be special, even Dadu Hu."
"Take tax payment as an example, in Hexi, in addition to the tax exemption enjoyed by the families of military merits, even the Dadu Hu himself has to pay taxes according to the regulations, why do you say that the family has to pay taxes?"
"What?! Is this true? ”
Cui Xiao was shocked at this time, to be honest, he was not afraid that Wei Shuo would cancel the privileges of the family, but he was afraid that Wei Shuo would enjoy the privileges himself after taking them back.
Now from Cui Hao's mouth, he heard with his own ears that Wei Shuo not only does not allow outsiders to be special, but he also leads by example, so he knows that Wei Shuo is really the master.
"Of course it's true, if my uncle doesn't believe it, you can go to Hexi to inquire, there is no one in Hexi who doesn't know about this matter."
Later, Cui Hao talked about a series of policies such as the separation of public and private and the division of civil and military affairs implemented by Wei Shuo, and talked about it with his father and uncle.
In the end, Cui Xiao couldn't help but sigh to Cui Hong, Cui Hao's father and son: "This person is really a holy master!" ”
"Whether it's the Holy Lord or not, I'm not sure."
"But if I had to choose a hero who is expected to end the troubled times, I think it must be the most important protector."
"It seems that the virtuous nephew is very optimistic about the future of Hexi."
"That's right! Before I came to Hexi, I always thought that Hexi was remote and a poor place. ”
"Who knew that after I came, I was stunned to find that after several years of governance by the capital, Hexi has already changed greatly, the prices of all walks of life in the territory are stable, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, a prosperous scene."
"Right now, Hexi is the time to employ people, and Hao implores his father and uncle to stay and assist Daduhu."
"This is what most of the capital has protected you to keep?"
"No, no, no, most of the protectors only let Zai go home to accompany his parents, and did not ask for anything else, this is Zaixia's idea."
"Of course it's no problem to be a father, after all, with you, everything is easy to say, but I don't know what my uncle has planned?"
"Hehe, except for the Eastern Jin Dynasty and Hexi, there are Hulu regimes all around. That's it, that's it, the old man has arrived here, so he has to dedicate a handful of old bones to Hexi. ”
"Oh, that's great, I'll report this to Dadu Protector later, and make him happy."
"What do you have to tell Shuo?"
As soon as Cui Hao's words fell, he saw Wei Shuo walking in, and he arched his hand as he walked: "I take the liberty to visit, I haven't forgiven you yet!" Shuo heard that Bo Yuan's parents had arrived, so he came to visit the second elder. ”
"This is Uncle Cui, right?! In Xia Weishuo, I saw my uncle. ”
Seeing with his own eyes the world-famous Dadu Protector holding a nephew in front of him, Cui Hong was so excited that he didn't even dare to say it.
"Hey, why don't you dare? Shuo and Boyuan are called monarchs and ministers, but they are actually like brothers. Moreover, Shuo's achievements today are inseparable from Bo Yuan's dedication, and it is also appropriate to call you uncle. ”
Regardless of whether Wei Shuo is sincere or not, at least this gesture makes Cui Hong and Cui Xiao very useful.
"Lord, just now my father and uncle have agreed to go out of Hexi."
"Really? Oh, I was lucky enough to have two great talents today, what a surprise! ”
Wei Shuo couldn't hide the joy on his face, he chased Cui Mansion today, wasn't it just for Cui Hao's father?
Unexpectedly, before he could make a move, Cui Hao, the right-hand man under his command, had already taken him down in advance.
"It's just a little false name, and it shouldn't be praised by most of the capitals."
"Eh, you two are modest. Xuan Bogong did not mention it, he has been famous since he was a child, and he is known to the outside world as having the talent of Wang Zuo. And the uncle is not simple, he has been an official in Qianqin and Qianyan successively, and he is also a rare talent, and he has always had the reputation of being upright. ”
Seeing that Wei Shuo knew them so well, Cui Xiao and Cui Hong couldn't help but feel secretly surprised, and they were not relieved until they heard Cui Hao's explanation.
It turned out that Wei Shuo had always had the habit of collecting talents from all walks of life, and those who had a little reputation were recorded by him, so that he could meet and solicit each other in the future.
The next four talked happily, and Wei Shuo also made arrangements for Cui Hong and Cui Xiao, among which Cui Hong was sent by him to serve in the Metropolitan Protectorate, and Cui Xiao put him in charge of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and was responsible for supervising officials at all levels.
