Chapter 283: Six Years of Success

When He Lanxiang and his entourage entered the customs, there were three uncles such as Yan Ji and the biological mother of Yuwen's sister-in-law, and there was no doubt about the identity of the Qiu brothers.

The Yuwen family, who had been blocked by Guanhe for eleven years, was finally reunited in Chang'an.

The joy and tears of reunion after a long absence do not need to be repeated, looking at the two sisters-in-law who were alone, Yuwentai made the decision, and passed the second son of his nephew Yuwendao to Yuwen Yuanbao, the son of the second brother Yuwenlian, as the heir.

In the future, Yuwen Hu and Yuwen Dao will have another heir, and they will be passed on to Yuwen Bodhi, the son of the third brother Yuwen Luosheng.

The reunion of the family was a happy event, but the Qiu family had an incident.

Aunt Yuwen has nothing to say to her two sons Qiu Bin and Qiu Chong, but she doesn't have a good face for her husband Qiu Yuan.

When I returned to Chang'an, I saw Qiu Yuan's concubines in the house.

Qiu Yuan has been alone in Kansai for eleven years, and it is normal to take a concubine, but Yuwen's sister-in-law has to use this as an excuse to make trouble and insists on reconciling with Qiu Yuan.

However, the three widowed sisters-in-law such as Yan Ji and He Bashi were even more brainless to stand on the side of their sister-in-law.

Yu Wentai and the others came to persuade them, and the four of them spread out their hands, so that they could see the calluses left in their palms by working in the weaving room.

Yan Ji said with tears in her eyes:

"We have experienced hardships in Jinyang, we can't eat, but we don't want to visit our wives and children, we only enjoy ourselves in Chang'an, and the wives and concubines are so unhappy, don't say it's a sister-in-law, if it's me, an old woman, I have to be resentful."

The words made Chang'an's family have a hot face, especially the two brothers Yuwendao and Yuwenhu, who were even more embarrassed, and even Yuwentai was ashamed.

Although there is a suspicion of scolding Huai, it is Yan Ji who said this, Yuwentai's sister-in-law who is nearly sixty years old, Yuwendao, Yuwenhu's mother, who can argue with her.

In private, Yu Wentai also asked the three sisters-in-law if the little sister had changed her mind and had a lover in Kanto, Yan Ji and others denied it.

Yuwentai can only let the little sister live in his house temporarily, Rao is Yuwentai is a smart person, and there is no doubt about this in his heart:

The little sister was doted on by her family when she was a child, and she developed a brutal character, but she didn't expect that after eleven years, her temper didn't change at all.

But after getting along for a few days, I found that my little sister's squeamishness had long been worn away.

is kind to anyone, but he doesn't want to see Qiu Yuan, the three sisters-in-law said that the little sister has not changed her mind, and Yuwentai can only think that she has suffered too much in Jinyang, so she can't forgive Qiu Yuan's behavior.

Who would have thought that his own sister had already sat in the seat of the daughter-in-law of the Gao family.

Yu Wentai is helpless about this, he can't force his sister-in-law to expel the concubines, Qiu Yuanna's first concubine is still his wife and brother, who knows that there will be a goodbye day in this life, and Qiu Yuan can't be left alone.

It is even more impossible to force the little sister to go back to Qiu's house, so she can only stalemate like this, and one day she will lose her anger and let Qiu Yuan take her back.

And Yuwen's sister-in-law also got her wish and lived in her brother's mansion.

Let's talk about Luoyang, Gao Cheng sent away Yuwen's sister-in-law, and just as he felt psychologically empty, someone accidentally touched his moldy head.

Shuozhou Assassin Shi Hu Lujin reported that Hengzhou Assassin Shi Cui Shuren was corrupt and brutal, so that the local people's grievances boiled, and many people abandoned their land and fled.

Gao Cheng didn't expect that with Zheng Boyou's example, there were still officials who dared to commit crimes against the wind, and immediately ordered Xue Hu'er to lead people to Pingcheng (Datong, Shanxi) to arrest Cui Shuren.

Knowing that Gao Cheng sent someone to arrest him, Cui Shuren did not dare to resist, and he had no way to resist even if he was a civilian assassin.

I had to send someone to Luoyang to deliver the news to my nephew before Xue Hu'er entered the city, hoping that he would think of some way for himself.

Cui Shuren's brother is also Gao Cheng's old acquaintance, it is Cui Ning, who was released from prison some time ago, and his nephew is Cui Zhen.

In fact, not long after Xue Hu'er left Luoyang, Cui Zhen had already received the news that the third uncle was going to be punished, but he didn't dare to run for him to intercede.

Previously, his father Cui Yong was trapped in a cage and was lucky to survive, and then Cui Zhen witnessed the tragic scene of Zheng Boyou and his wife being smashed to pieces, and finally dying of thirst.

Now that the third uncle has committed an accident, he is afraid that Gao Cheng will bring up the old matter again and dispose of his father.

It's too late to avoid this matter, and how dare you get involved.

Cui Zhen not only didn't run for it, but also didn't allow his family to ask about it, but he didn't learn to bury his head in the sand.

After Cui Shuren was escorted to Luoyang, he was presiding over the trial by Shangshu Zuocheng and Song Youdao, in fact, the evidence of the crime was conclusive, and there was no need for more trials, but Song Youdao had to torture him severely, which can be regarded as a thorough investigation of all the bad things that Cui Shuren had done since he was a child.

Gao Cheng read the case file and Cui Shuren's signature, and quickly approved Song Youdao's verdict: Cui Shuren was beheaded outside the gate.

On the day of the execution, Cui Shuren wrote five poems and said goodbye to his brothers.

For Cui Ning's family, who closed their doors during this time, their hearts were full of resentment.

This incident also caused a secret estrangement between Cui Xiu's sons.

On the contrary, although the little lady of the Cui family also gave Cui Shuren a ride, she did not have much sympathy for the third brother.

There are so many examples in front of him, but the third brother doesn't know how to restrain himself, and who can blame him.

Gao Cheng did not allow the Cui family to collect the body, but only ordered someone to pickle Cui Shuren's head and spread it to various places, so that the governor of the prefecture and county could look at the time of a stick of incense as a warning.

This decree can disgust officials everywhere, except for those martial arts assassins, who will not be sick to their stomachs when they look at a pickled human head.

But the effect is really surprisingly good, after all, some things, some words, no matter how much you listen to them, are not as useful as what you see with your own eyes.

Thinking of the horror of Zheng Boyou's death in the rumors, the officialdom of the Eastern Wei Dynasty actually changed its atmosphere because of the death of these two people.

Although there are still people who secretly collect some money, no one dares to abuse and harm the people anymore.

Everyone knows that if you are greedy for a little money, as long as it is useful to Gao Cheng, he will not touch you, but if you kill the people, he will take you under the knife.

No one wants to be the third case after Zheng Boyou and Cui Shuren.

No one wants to travel to all corners of the Eastern Wei Dynasty in the way that the head of Xiang Shang is transmitted.

Starting from Gao Cheng's appointment of Du Bi as the lieutenant of the imperial history, and then to the climax of Song Youdao's appointment of Shangshu Zuocheng, to the present Cui Shuren's head in various places.

After six years, Gao Cheng vigorously rectified the rule of officials, and finally changed the atmosphere of officialdom.

In the past, the phenomenon of officials openly soliciting and accepting bribes no longer exists, and they dare not treat the people harshly.

And when Cui Shuren was rumored to be the head, people from all over the country were in the middle of the road, vying to watch, and what they loved most was the deeds of those who deceived the people and embezzled bribes and were severely punished.

Coupled with the noble background of Cui Shuren Qinghe Cui's family, they were even more excited.

But everywhere Cui Shuren passed, Gao Cheng was praised, and even many people set up immortal tablets to pray for him.

It's not going to be tonight, so I'll try to write more tomorrow.
