Qing Hui pointed to the chair, "Master Su, please sit down."

Taifu Su was unsure of Qing Hui's attitude, but he still walked over and sat down.

Queen Mother Su was still shedding tears in a daze.

"Taifu Su, Beixuan lost the battle in Yujing City when Beixuan attacked Xiliang. Mo Xuanling led his troops to withdraw from Beixuan. Princess Xiangyang proclaimed himself emperor. Now, Xiliang has restored stability." Qing Hui told Taifu Su what he had just told Queen Mother Su, and then asked: "In Taifu's opinion, where should we, Dong Qin, go now?"

"The regent is here..." Taifu Su was shocked for a moment when he heard the news, and then he was about to express his loyalty, but as soon as the words came out, he suddenly realized something was wrong.

The regent did not appear for two or three days.

Under normal circumstances, this would not be a big deal. Even if the regent was closing the door to thank guests, he would often go without people for several days.

But now, it was the princess who asked him this, not the regent.

The entire Eastern Qin Dynasty knew that the regent's beloved daughter Qing Hui had a status comparable to that of the regent. However, almost everyone in the capital also knew that the princess was not very smart, sometimes sober and sometimes confused, so she rarely appeared in front of others.

But the words of the princess can undoubtedly fully represent the regent.

But precisely because of this, if there was anything that needed to be discussed with him, the regent would come and talk to him in person instead of asking the princess to come.

In particular, Princess Qingshan had already gone to Xiliang to get married. He had also asked the regent if he had any plans to form an alliance with Xiliang to deal with Beixuan, but the regent did not answer him directly. The problem will be known when the time comes.

Later, when Beixuan went to war against Xiliang, he also asked the regent about his plans, but the regent just ordered people to guard the capital and various prefectures and counties, and severely punish those who caused trouble.

At that time, he felt that the regent was plotting something big, but the regent had always acted arbitrarily. In recent years, although they, the old ministers, could not understand it, they had to admit that there was a regent in charge of the government, and the Eastern Qin Dynasty It was a rare moment of peace and prosperity for the country and the people, and the economy was prosperous. They, the veterans, naturally took a share of the pie.

As officials, they are just for power and profit, and the regent has given them enough benefits. As for power, as long as it is not too excessive, the regent can be considered tolerant in this regard.

Therefore, almost all the courtiers of the Eastern Qin Dynasty were convinced of the regent.

Even though Taifu Su was a veteran of several dynasties, and his daughter was still the current Queen Mother, he did not have too many ambitions, and he did his best to teach the little emperor.

Although he has not retired, he has almost lived a retired life early.

Privately, it's not like he hasn't thought about getting more, but compared to these, a stable and clear court is the most beneficial.

For a time, countless thoughts passed through Taifu Su's mind, and suddenly there was a thump.

The regent did not come forward, but Qing Hui did. There was only one possibility: the regent was inconvenient, or the regent would no longer appear.

Taifu Su was frightened and dazed for a while before finally coming back to his senses.

"The princess is one of our own, and the old minister dare not hide anything. Now in the Eastern Qin Dynasty, it would be good if there is a regent. Once the regent is gone, there is no guarantee that the Prince of Beixuan will directly take his ideas to the Eastern Qin Dynasty. Qin Lai. The most important thing in our Eastern Qin is money and food, which in the eyes of everyone is just a piece of fat. It’s not that the Prince of Beixuan never had the idea of ​​Eastern Qin, but it was only because of the regent that he failed."

Taifu Su sighed: "But even so, several vassal kings have made many moves secretly. Some have supported Beixuan with food and grass, and some have followed Nanyue to cause chaos. Now, several surrounding states and counties have already been in chaos. . It’s all because of the regent that they don’t dare to go any further, and they only dare to be careful and test the surrounding areas.”

"Princess, our Eastern Qin must never live without a regent! Just tell this old minister that the regent..."

Taifu Su stood up, bent down and bowed to Qing Hui.

Qing Hui hurriedly stood up and helped him up, secretly thinking that it was indeed the old fox who had already guessed it and wanted to test her in turn.

"My father left Eastern Qin due to important matters. Now it is at the time of the turmoil in Four Spirit Continent. Since I have spoken to Taifu Su today, I will not hide it from Taifu Su. Now the entire Dong Qin can preside over The only person who can control the situation is you, Taifu Su."

Qing Hui thought for a while and said: "The Taifu is a famous official, and all he pretends to be is the people of Eastern Qin. Even if the Taifu wants to go further, I support it, but the Taifu also knows that the current situation in Eastern Qin , once chaos breaks out, the innocent people will suffer in the end, so I implore the Grand Tutor to stand up and take charge of the situation. Whether it is to assist the young emperor in the future, or to become a famous minister in the world, I am willing to help the Grand Tutor."

Qing Hui thought about it all night last night. The reason why he came to see Empress Dowager Su and Taifu Su and his daughter early in the morning was because Taifu Su was a veteran of several dynasties and still had some influence in the Eastern Qin Dynasty. Secondly, he was a scholar. To save face, as long as you have a name, you will not easily start a war, nor will you easily rebel.

And Queen Mother Su is a lover. Even if she doesn't work hard to start a career, she won't kill everyone.

If she wants to save the little emperor's life, she has only two ways, that is, Taifu Su can protect him, and she can send the little emperor to Xiliang as a hostage, which at least allows him to grow up safely.

As for how he chooses in the future, she can't control it. At least now, he is still at an ignorant and ignorant age, and she doesn't want him to lose his life in vain.

As long as Taifu Su can stay with General Shen for a few more years until the little emperor grows up and is able to take charge, Dong Qin will be able to hold on.

Of course, if the eldest princess of Xiangyang moves quickly enough and can take over Nanyue and Dongqin before the little emperor grows up and before Beixuan can fully recuperate and counterattack, it is not impossible to unify the Four Spirit Continents by then. things.

But that’s all for later.

The best she can do is to unite those who can be united as much as possible to reduce casualties in the war.

Taifu Su just changed his mind and understood what Qing Hui meant.

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart. The regent had always been tough, but he didn't expect that the only daughter was actually soft-hearted.

She did this just to save the little emperor's life, and then buy more time for Dong Qin to be stable and avoid war.

If there really comes a day, no matter who becomes the master of the world, if he surrenders in time and puts the world first, then maybe he will not only be the master of the Eastern Qin Dynasty, but also a hero who can be remembered in history.

It was indeed an offer too hard to refuse.

The most important thing for the development of a family is choice. If the choice is right, the family will further develop and continue. If the choice is wrong, it will collapse in an instant.

The Su family has been developing for less than a hundred years, and compared with those real aristocratic families, there is still some distance.

But if we can take advantage of this trend, we may be able to build a century-old family.

Forget it, everyone covets the throne, but in troubled times, the throne is easy to get but hard to hold on to.

After understanding what he wanted, Taifu Su also suddenly understood. He took a step back and bowed to Qing Hui again, "I would like to put the people of the world first and do my best to assist the young emperor. I would like to express my gratitude to the princess for her righteousness. "

Qing Hui helped him up and breathed a sigh of relief.

With Taifu Su's promise, at least in a short period of time, the little emperor's life can be saved and the Eastern Qin court can be stabilized.

After achieving his goal, Qing Hui handed something to him: "This is one of my father's seals. I gave it to Su Taifu for safekeeping. In the future, this seal, together with the military talisman in General Shen's hand, can mobilize my father." I have a large army under my command. I only hope that the world will be stable as soon as possible and that you can get what you want."

Taifu Su took the seal and thanked Qing Hui again.

After Qing Hui finished his work, he said goodbye to Taifu Su.

After taking just two steps, she was stopped by Queen Mother Su, who had been in a daze. Her voice was choked with sobs: "Is he really not coming back? I can wait, I can keep waiting..."

"He went to find my mother." Qing Hui replied, and then left without looking back.

There was a burst of broken crying behind her.

If Qing Hui's previous persuasion only made Empress Dowager Su confused, then these last words completely shattered all her hopes. For so many years, it can be said that everyone in the entire Eastern Qin Dynasty is curious about who Qingshan's mother is. There are many rumors that Qingshan's mother is a fairy, and some say that she is a witch. In short, after leaving Qingshan, she... Disappeared.

After all these years in Beijing, Empress Dowager Su still knew that Qing Hui’s mother was not from Si Ling Continent, so she dared to be so bold and secretly in love with the Regent. It was because, as long as the Regent did not leave Si Ling Continent for a day, That meant that there was absolutely no chance of him and that woman meeting each other.

But once the regent goes to find her one day, it means that he will never come back.

She looked at her for thousands of years and was willing to waste more than ten years in the palace, but in the end it was all in vain.

……

As soon as Qing Hui left the palace of Empress Dowager Su, the little emperor got the news and stopped her in the garden before she could reach the little emperor's palace.

"Sister Huang, you just called the Tutor away. Did something happen?" No matter how slow the little emperor was, he still felt that something must have happened. Otherwise, Sister Huang would not have come to the palace to see him first. The Queen Mother, she obviously didn't like the Queen Mother. Every time she came to the palace, the Queen Mother would invite her with various excuses, but she rarely went there. Usually, the Queen Mother couldn't help but come to her on her own.

Although he is young, he has grown up in the palace, and he is not stupid.

There was a vague feeling in his heart, as if the imperial sister had left after visiting him last time, then married to Xiliang, and did not come back for a long time.

This time she finally came back, but he had a feeling that she was leaving again.

Qing Hua rubbed his head, pulled him into the pavilion, dispersed the others, and then gave him a red leaf.

"Xiaohe, do you like being the emperor?" Qing Hui asked.

The little emperor knew the red leaves of the green cypress. The green cypress had been given to him before, and he kept it carefully. When he heard the question of the cypress, he was stunned for a moment, and then carefully lowered his head, not daring to look at the cypress.

After a while, he whispered: "Sister Huang, if I say that I don't like being the emperor, will you be angry? Do you think my idea is wrong?"

"You have your own ideas, how can I be angry? Xiaohe, I actually want to tell you that you are in this position and have no choice, so you are not wrong. But you are in this position, but you have What you have to do. I hope you can work hard, stick to your heart and be a good emperor while you are still in this position, but if one day you have to choose, I also hope you If you can value the lives of the people in the world, you can also value your own life."

Although sending the little emperor as a hostage was a way to survive, she couldn't make the choice for the little emperor.

In this position, he has his own path to take.

There is a future and growth that he needs to face.

"I'm leaving, and my father will no longer be by your side. Xiaohe, you have to learn to grow up. I have convinced Taifu Su that he will try his best to stabilize the court and stabilize Dongdong today. For Qin's stability, what you have to do is learn to distinguish, because people's hearts will change, the situation will change, and everything will change. You have to protect yourself and what you have."

The little emperor lowered his head, clenched his fists tightly, and then quickly wiped away his tears.

After a while, he stubbornly raised his head and wanted to ask Qing Hui if he could not leave and leave him alone, but he understood that the imperial sister was considering him and even paving the way for him as much as possible.

He must be brave enough to survive on his own so as not to let her down.

He looked at Qing Hui and nodded heavily. His voice was a little hoarse, but extremely solemn, "I understand."

Qing Hui pinched his face: "Good boy, this red leaf is different from the one I gave you before. If you miss me, tell me what you want to say, maybe I can hear it. Also, if One day when you are in danger, just crush it. I will know that you are in danger and will find a way to save you. Remember?"

"Sister Huang, in the future, I mean you, will you come back to see me one day?" The little emperor looked at her expectantly.

Qing Hui thought for a while, and there was a high probability that she would return to Four Spirit Continent one day, but she didn't know how long it would be.

But facing the hopeful look in the little emperor's eyes, she couldn't bear to shatter his hopes, so she nodded and said, "Yes, as long as I have a chance, I will definitely come back to see you!"

"That's a deal!" The little emperor's depression suddenly disappeared, and he stretched out his finger towards Qing Hui, "I will definitely be a useful person and will not let the emperor down!"

"Okay!" Qing Hui hooked his finger, and the two laughed together.

……

After leaving the palace, when Qing Hui returned to the Regent's Palace, General Shen was already waiting.

General Shen is a confidant of the Regent. He has followed the Regent for many years and has always been loyal to him.

So for the last soldier talisman, Qing Hui gave it directly to General Shen without even thinking about other candidates.

However, after General Shen learned about the current situation in Si Lingzhou, he was a little puzzled when he saw that Qing Hui had handed over the military talisman so neatly: "Princess, aren't you afraid that I will directly raise troops to rebel after taking the military talisman?"

"Even if my father doesn't reveal his whereabouts to others, he will definitely explain it to you in advance. He understands better than anyone that leading troops in battle does not rely on this military talisman. Especially in troubled times, this military talisman is not at all It's useless. He just left in a hurry and didn't have time to hand it over to you." When they separated in Guizhou City last time, she had already mentioned to her father about going to find her mother together, but she didn't expect that something would happen unexpectedly. Her father actually left her and ran away.

And since my father has such a plan, even if he doesn't tell others, he will first settle his confidants, especially General Shen. The safety of the Eastern Qin capital can be completely counted on him.

General Shen smiled bitterly: "I'd rather the prince didn't have such a plan, but Princess, is it really the eldest princess of Xiangyang who is now on the throne of Xiliang?"

"What? You don't believe it?" Qing Hui looked at him curiously. General Shen was in his thirties and in his prime. He was obviously a general, but he had a pretty face. It was said that when he first entered the military camp, he was often attacked by others. Ridiculing, the result was that he knocked everyone down with a smile, and it was only when he knelt down and called him grandpa.

From then on, no one dared to talk about his pretty face behind his back. They all called him Bai Yanluo, Black Lotus, and Smiling Tiger.

He looks like a romantic young man, but in fact he has a very dark heart.

"Believe it, believe it, how could you not believe it? I just remember that when I was young, I went to Xiliang with the prince, and I had a taste of the grace of the eldest princess of Xiangyang. Now many years have passed...Princess, you said that I am a humble minister, now run away Xiliang, please recommend yourself. Can you win a seat in front of the Empress?" General Shen rubbed his face and looked at Qing Hui with innocent eyes: "Princess, I know you are very capable. Even if you don’t have any elixir for eternal youth, why don’t you give it to me to improve my competitiveness? Or you can write a letter and praise me?”

Qing Hua almost spit the sip of tea he drank directly into his face.

No, she was seriously talking to him about something, but he was so out of his mind that he even wanted to show her face to face, and he still wanted her to be a matchmaker?

What is he dreaming about?

I knew he was outrageous, but I never thought he was so outrageous!

Qing Hui almost ran away, "I don't care about this, you can figure it out yourself!"

He turned around and ran away without looking back.

"Hey, Princess, I'm serious, I'm not joking!" General Shen shouted from behind.

Qing Hui ran faster and ran until she reached the guest house where Ning Fengxu and the others lived. She was shocked. When she raised her eyes, she saw Ning Fengxu standing at the door, smiling at her.

They have been busy these days, and even now, they have not had time to spend time alone together.

Seeing him unexpectedly, she stood up quickly and touched her nose, "Where are Xiao Hui and Qing Luo?"

"Xiao Hui went to help the housekeeper arrange things, and Qing Luo was also called over." Ning Fengxu replied.

"Oh, oh," Qing Hui responded casually and said as he walked in: "What time is it? I'm already hungry. Someone, go bring me lunch! I want to eat here!"

The maid left in response, Qing Hui walked to the table and sat down, pouring herself a glass of water.

Ning Fengxu looked at her quietly and suddenly spoke,

"Qing Hu, would it make you feel uncomfortable if I were here?"
