Cui Jishu's eldest son Cui Changjun and second son Cui Jingxuan were both born from the side room, but because his wife Feng had no heirs, they only gave birth to two daughters, so Cui Changjun, as the eldest son, was still cultivated as the heir to the family industry.

Even marrying a wife for him was to hire a descendant from the Li clan of Zhao County.

Now the youngest grandson of Chenghuan under Cui Jishu's knee is the youngest son of the Li family.

After playing with his grandson for a while, Cui Jishu sent Cui Che away, and then said to Cui Changjun meaningfully:

"The saint is suspicious, if I get along with Yang Su, then one of them will inevitably lose his phase, if the two often speak ill of each other, it can last a long time, you don't understand this truth, but Yang Su is clear.

"As for advising the saint to stay away from Yaoguang Temple, it is not just for a good name.

"At the age of seventeen, he served in the shogunate of the saints, and now he is full of gray hair, and he is both a monarch and an old friend.

"Although the saint has Sun Simiao's diet, his body is not as good as before after all, how can I see him hurt his body again because of women.

"As for the saints, you need not worry about it, for you have served the Father for more than forty years, and you do not know his character.

"The saint is a person who misses the old love, it was like this when he was young, and now that he is older, as the old man gradually withers, he cherishes the old minister."

Cui Changjun suddenly realized and bluntly said that he was taught.

In fact, there is another reason why Cui Jishu did not say it, caring about Gao Cheng's body is not just the friendship between the two.

As the so-called son of heaven and a courtier, once the prince succeeds to the throne, he must promote his henchmen, as an old minister of the former dynasty, Cui Jishu does not want to leave the center of power, and as long as Gao Cheng can let him take charge of Shangshu Province for so many years.

The prince can't give this trust.

In the thirty-fourth year of Zhaode (581 AD), the year of Yang Jian's establishment of Sui in the original time and space, of course, Yang Jian in this time and space, over forty years old, only sat on the position of county guard, which still relied on his father Yang Zhong to raise righteousness in time when the Qi army attacked Zhou, and was awarded an official position, which provided a way for him to enter the office.

The only thing that remains unchanged is the marriage with Dugu Jialuo, who is dignified and guarded, but there is not even a concubine in the house, and even the maidservants are all ordinary, or old and decrepit, which has become a joke in the officialdom.

In July of this year, Cui Jishu, who had been worried about Gao Cheng's health, fell ill before Xiao Gaowang.

When 61-year-old Gao Cheng heard the news, he came to the door on crutches to visit his illness.

"Your Majesty, the old minister is dying."

Cui Ji was relieved.

Gao Cheng sat on the edge of the couch and comforted:

"I brought Imperial Doctor Sun over, and with him here, Cui Xiang will definitely recover."

Cui Jishu had a wry smile on his face:

"The old minister's medical skills are not as good as Sun Simiao's, but he is also full of medical books, and His Majesty does not need to be relieved."

"That's it! All right! Don't say it, Imperial Doctor Sun is diagnosing your pulse, and we'll talk about it later. ”

Gao Cheng said, looking at Sun Simiao, who was engrossed in diagnosing Cui Jishu's pulse, and couldn't hide the nervousness in his heart.

After a long time, after Sun Simiao's careful observation, he shook his head slightly at Gao Cheng.

Gao Cheng's heart seemed to be pinched by someone, over the years, there were too many old people who had left him, and now it was finally Cui Jishu's turn.

Cui Jishu had expected it, but he comforted Gao Cheng instead:

"Your Majesty, the old minister is sixty-seven years old, he has served by your side for fifty years, and now he is full of wealth and wealth, and his children and grandchildren are all in important positions, what is the old minister not satisfied with, I just ask Your Majesty not to hurt my body for me."

Gao Cheng held Cui Jishu's hand tightly and was silent for a long time.

In August of the same year, Gao Cheng also went to Cui Jishu's mansion during the Mid-Autumn Festival to spend the festival with him.

On the 17th, Cui Changjun hurriedly entered the palace and informed Gao Cheng that his father was critically ill.

When Gao Cheng arrived at the sickbed, Cui Jishu was much more energetic, and his pale face was now flushed.

Gao Cheng knew that this was a return to the light, and he had seen too much over the years.

"Your Majesty, the old minister has something to say, please step back from others."

Gao Cheng naturally didn't believe that Cui Jishu would murder him, he waved his hand to hold everyone back, and even Cui Changjun did not stay in the ward.

There were no outsiders, so Cui Jishu spoke:

"Lao Chen has beaten the puppet emperor of Guanxi, and also beat the Zhengshuo emperor of Yuan Wei, a few years ago, Xiao Gang and Xiao Lun broke the law, and Lao Chen was also ordered to punch three times.

Even Yu Wenjue was punched a few times as a warning.

"Not to mention that over the years, the Goguryeo kings, Turkic khans, and Tuyuhun kings who have been imprisoned in Luoyang one after another, Your Majesty asked the old ministers to preach the great Qi martial virtues, and the old ministers also taught them a lesson for Your Majesty.

"But if you think about it carefully, Lao Chen has never beaten the Son of Great Qi Tianzi, I don't know if Your Majesty can let Lao Chen punch him, and Lao Chen has no regrets in this life."

Maybe he said too much in one breath, Cui Jishu's spirit was visibly decayed with the naked eye, and even the blush on his face had disappeared.

Gao Cheng didn't blame Cui Jishu for disrespecting the Son of Heaven, his eyes were moist, and he nodded again and again:

"Okay, you fight."

Cui Jishu, who was lying on the hospital bed, heard this, showed a smile, raised his right hand with all his strength, and then gently hammered on Gao Cheng's chest, slid down Gao Cheng's chest, and fell weakly on the couch.

has been with Gao Cheng for 50 years, and his closest old friend Cui Jishu died in the mansion with a smile.
