Qing Qi pointed to the chair, "Mrs. Su, please take a seat." ”

Mrs. Su couldn't figure out Qingqi's attitude, but she still walked over and sat down.

Empress Dowager Su only cared about shedding tears in a trance.

"Su Taifu, Beixuan attacked Xiliang, the battle in Yujing City, Beixuan lost, Mo Xuanling led the troops to withdraw to Beixuan, and the eldest princess of Xiangyang was called the emperor, and now, Xiliang has restored stability." Qing Mao told Mrs. Su what she had just told Empress Dowager Su again, and then asked, "According to Mrs. Su's opinion, now that we are in Dongqin, where should we go?" ”

"There is a regent in ......" When Su Taifu heard the news, he was also shocked for a moment, and then he was about to open his mouth to show his loyalty, but as soon as the words came out, he suddenly realized that something was wrong.

The regent did not appear for two or three days in a row.

In normal times, this is not a big deal, and even when the regent is closed, he often does not see anyone for a few days.

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

The entire Eastern Qin Dynasty knows that the regent loves his daughter Qingqi, and his status is comparable to that of the regent, but the people in the capital almost all know that this county lord has a bad brain, sometimes sober and sometimes confused, so he rarely appears in front of people.

But the words of the county lord can undoubtedly fully represent the regent.

But because of this, if there was anything to discuss with him, the regent would come and tell him in person, instead of inviting the lord to come.

In particular, the county lord of Qingqi had already gone to Xiliang with his relatives before, and he had also asked the regent before, let the county lord go to Xiliang and his relatives, if he had any plans to deal with Beixuan in alliance with Xiliang, the regent did not answer his question directly, only said that he would know when the time came.

Later, Beixuan started a war against Xiliang, and he also asked the regent about his plans, but the regent only ordered people to guard the capital and various states and counties, and severely punished those who made trouble.

At that time, he felt that the regent was plotting something big, but the regent has always acted arbitrarily, and over the years, although they have been a little unaccustomed to these old ministers, they have to admit that with the regent controlling the government, Dongqin is a rare country and people's peace, and the economy is prosperous, and they old ministers naturally have a piece of the pie.

These officials, they are nothing more than 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 is also tolerant in this regard.

Therefore, almost the entire courtiers of Eastern Qin were convinced by the regent.

Even if he is like Mrs. Su, the elder of several dynasties, and his daughter is still the current queen mother, he has not given birth to too many ambitions, and he is also dedicated to the teaching of the little emperor.

Although he has not retired, he has almost lived an early retirement life.

In his selfish heart, he didn't want to get more, but compared to these, a stable and clean court is the most beneficial.

For a while, Mrs. Su had countless thoughts in her heart, and suddenly she sighed.

The regent did not come forward, and it was Qingshu who came forward, so there is only one possibility, that is, the regent is inconvenient, or the regent will not appear again.

Mrs. Su was in a trance for a while before finally coming back to her senses.

"The county lord is his own person, and the old minister doesn't dare to hide it, now in Eastern Qin, if there is a regent in charge, it's okay, once he leaves the regent, he can't guarantee the prince of Beixuan, and he will directly hit the idea to Eastern Qin. The most thing we have in Dongqin is money and grain, which is a piece of fat in the eyes of everyone, and the original Prince of Beixuan did not have the idea of beating Dongqin, but it was only because of the regent that he did not succeed. ”

Su Taifu sighed: "But even so, several vassal kings secretly made a lot of moves, some supported grain and grass for Beixuan, and some followed Nanyue to make chaos everywhere, and now the surrounding states and counties have long been in chaos." It was only because of the regent that they did not dare to go further, but only dared to be cautious and tentative in the surroundings. ”

"County Lord, our Eastern Qin, we can't live without the regent! Then tell the old minister, the regent, that he ......."

Mrs. Su got up, bent down and bowed down to Qingqi.

Qingqi hurriedly got up and helped him up, and secretly said that it was really an old fox, and he had clearly guessed it, and he wanted to test her in turn.

"Father has something important to leave Dongqin, and now it is at the time of turmoil in Silingzhou, since I have already opened my mouth with Mrs. Su today, I will not hide it from Mrs. Su, and now in the entire East Qin, the only person who can preside over the situation is Mrs. Su."

Qing Mao thought for a while and said: "Taifu is a famous minister, and the people in his heart are also the people of Eastern Qin. Even if Taifu wants to go further, I also support it, but Taifu also knows that the current situation in Eastern Qin, once it is chaotic, it will be innocent people who will suffer in the end, so I implore Taifu to stand up and preside over the situation, whether it is to assist the young emperor in the future, or to achieve the world's famous ministers, I am willing to help Taifu. ”

Qingqi thought about it all night last night, and the reason why he came to find the Empress Dowager Su and Mrs. Su's father and daughter early in the morning was because Mrs. Su and the old ministers of the dynasty still had some weight in Eastern Qin, and secondly, he was a scholar and wanted to be face-saving, as long as he had a name, he would not easily start a war or rebel easily.

And Empress Dowager Su is a love brain, even if she doesn't get up to start a career, she won't be wiped out.

If she wants to save the little emperor's life, there are only two ways, that is, Su Taifu Li Bao, and being able to send the little emperor to Xiliang as a proton, at least let him grow up safely.

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

As long as Su Taifu can be with General Shen, he can hold on for a few more years, and until the little emperor grows up and has the ability to govern himself, Dongqin will be defended.

Of course, if the eldest princess of Xiangyang moves fast enough, it is not impossible to take Nanyue and Dongqin first before the little emperor grows up, before Beixuan has no complete rest and recuperation, and then the Siling Continent will be unified.

But that's all for later.

All she can do is to unite as many people as possible and reduce the casualties of the war.

Mrs. Su just thought about it, and then understood the meaning of Qingqi.

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, the regent's methods have always been tough, but I didn't expect the only daughter to be a soft-hearted person.

She did this nothing more than to save the little emperor's life, and then buy more stable time for Dongqin to avoid war.

If there really is such a day, no matter who wins the lord of the world, let him surrender in time and put the world first, at that time, maybe he will not only be the Taifu of the Eastern Qin, but a hero who can go down in history.

It's a hard proposition to refuse.

The development of the family, the most important thing is the choice, if the choice is right, it is the further development and continuation of the family, if the choice is wrong, it is not nothing that collapses in an instant.

Their Su family, which has developed for less than a hundred years, is still a little far from those real families.

But if you can take advantage of this shareholder wind, you may be able to achieve a century-old family.

That's it, everyone is greedy for the throne, but in the troubled times, the throne is easy to get but difficult to keep.

Thinking about what he wanted, Mrs. Su also suddenly became enlightened, he took a step back, and bowed down to Qingqi again, "The old minister is willing to put the people of the world first, devote his modest efforts, assist the young emperor, and thank the county lord for his righteousness." ”

Qingqi helped him up and breathed a sigh of relief.

With Su Taifu's promise, at least in the short term, he will be able to save the life of the little emperor and stabilize the Eastern Qin court.

When the goal was achieved, Qingqi handed him a thing: "This is one of my father's seal letters, and I will hand it over to Su Taifu for safekeeping, and in the future, this seal letter, plus the talisman in General Shen's hand, can mobilize the army under my father's command, I hope that the world will be stable as soon as possible, and you can get what you want." ”

Mrs. Su took the letter and thanked Qingshu again.

Qinghua finished the matter, and said goodbye to Mrs. Su by the way.

As soon as she took two steps, she was stopped by the Empress Dowager Su, who had been in a trance, and her voice choked: "Is he really, won't he come back?" I could have waited, I could have waited forever......"

"He's gone to find my mother." Qingshu replied, and then walked away without looking back.

There was a cries of collapse behind her.

If Qinghua's persuasion before only made Empress Dowager Su in a trance, then the last sentence completely shattered all her hopes.

For so many years, the entire Eastern Qin, it can be said that everyone is curious, who is the mother of the green tree, there are many rumors that the mother of the green tree is a fairy, and some say that it is a demon girl, in short, after leaving the green tree, it disappeared.

Empress Dowager Su has been in Beijing for so many years, and she still knows that Qingqi's mother is not from Silingzhou, so she dares to have such a presumptuous crush on the regent, just because, as long as the regent does not leave Silingzhou for a day, it means that there will be no chance of meeting between him and that woman.

But if the regent goes to her one day, it is a sign that he will never return.

Her glance has been in the palace for more than ten years, and she has been willing to spend more than ten years in the palace, but it is still empty after all.

……

Qinghua had just left the palace of the Empress Dowager Su, and the little emperor got the news, and stopped her in the garden without waiting for her to walk to the palace of the little emperor.

"Sister Huang, you just called Taifu away, did something happen?" Even if the little emperor is sluggish, he also feels that something should have happened, otherwise the imperial sister will not come to the palace to see the queen mother first, she obviously doesn't like the queen mother, every time she enters the palace, the queen mother has various excuses to invite, but she rarely goes over, usually the queen mother can't help but find it herself.

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

He had a faint feeling in his heart, like he left after the imperial sister came to see him last time, and then he married Xiliang and didn't come back for a long time.

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

Aoki rubbed his head, pulled him into the gazebo, dispersed the others, and gave him a red leaf.

"Little crane, do you like to be the emperor?" Aoki asked.

The little emperor knew the red leaves of the green tree, and the green tree had also sent him before, and he was careful to collect it, and when he heard the question of the green tree, he was stunned, and then carefully lowered his head, not daring to see the green tree.

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

"You have your own thoughts, 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, and there are things that you have to do. I hope you can work hard to stick to your heart and be a good emperor one day when you are still in this position, but if one day, you have to choose, I also hope that you can cherish the lives of the people in the world and cherish your own lives. ”

Although sending the little emperor to be a proton is also a way to live, she can't make a choice for the little emperor.

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

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

"I'm leaving, and my father won't be by your side in the future, Xiaohe, you have to learn to grow up on your own. I have convinced Mrs. Su that he will try his best to stabilize the court and stabilize the stability of the current Eastern Qin, what you have to do is to 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 a handful of tears.

After a while, he stubbornly raised his head, wanting to ask Qing Qi if he could not go, if he could not leave him alone, but he understood that the imperial sister was thinking about him, and even paved the way for him as much as possible.

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

He looked at Qingqi and nodded heavily, his voice was a little hoarse, but it was extremely solemn, "I know." ”

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

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

Qing Xi thought about it, one day she would most likely return to Siling Continent, but that might not know how long it would be.

It's just that in the face of the little emperor's hopeful eyes at this time, she couldn't bear to shatter his hope, so she nodded and said, "Yes, as long as I have the opportunity, I will definitely come back to see you!" ”

"That's a word!" The little emperor's depression just now was suddenly swept away, and he stretched out his finger at Qingqi, "I will definitely be a useful person and will not disappoint the imperial sister!" ”

"Good!" Aoki hooked his fingers, and the two laughed together.

……

When he left the palace and returned to the regent's palace, General Shen was already waiting.

General Shen was the regent's confidant and followed the regent for many years and remained loyal to him.

So the last talisman, Qing Qi almost didn't think about other candidates, and directly handed it over to General Shen.

However, after General Shen learned about the current situation in Silingzhou, he was a little puzzled when he saw that Qingshu handed over the talisman so neatly: "County Lord, aren't you afraid that after I take the talisman, I will directly rebel?" ”

"Even if my father doesn't reveal his whereabouts to others, he will definitely explain to you in advance, he understands better than anyone else that leading troops to fight is not relying on this talisman at all, especially in troubled times, this talisman is useless at all. He was just in a hurry, and he didn't have time to hand it over to you personally, "The last time we were separated in Ghost Prefecture City, she had already mentioned to her father about going to her mother together, but she didn't expect that there would be a temporary situation, and her father actually left her and ran away."

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

General Shen smiled bitterly: "I'd rather the prince didn't have this plan, but the county lord, Xiliang is now on the throne, is it really the eldest princess of Xiangyang?" ”

"What? You don't believe it? Qing Shu looked at him curiously, General Shen is in his Chinese New Year's Eve this year, in the prime of life, obviously a big general, but he has a small white face, it is said that when he first entered the barracks, he was not less ridiculed, the result was that he smiled and beat everyone down, kneeling and calling his grandfather to finish.

Since then, no one dares to say that he is a little white face behind his back, and they all call him White Yama, Black Lotus, and Smiling Tiger.

is a merry boy, but in fact, his heart is very dark.

"How can you not believe if you believe in your faith? I just remember that when I was young, I went to Xiliang with the prince, and I once experienced the demeanor of the eldest princess of Xiangyang, and now many years have passed,...... County Lord, you said that Weichen and I, now go to Xiliang Mao Sui to recommend myself, can you get the first seat in front of the empress? General Shen rubbed his face and looked at Qing Qi with innocent eyes: "County Lord, I know that you have great skills, do you have any panacea for eternal youth, and use it for me to improve my competitiveness?" Or do you write a letter and praise me? ”

Qing Qi almost didn't take the sip of tea he drank and sprayed it directly in his face.

No, she is talking to him seriously about things, he has a brain so divergent that he goes to face people, and he still wants her to be a matchmaker?

What kind of big dream is he doing!

I knew he was outrageous, but I didn't think he was so outrageous!

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

I turned my head and ran away without looking back.

"Hey, county lord, I'm serious, no kidding!" General Shen shouted from behind.

Qingqi ran faster, until she ran to the guest house where Ning Fengxu and they lived, and then she was shocked, and as soon as she raised her eyes, she bumped into Ning Fengxu who was standing at the door and smiling at her.

These days, they are busy, busy until now, and neither of them has had time to spend time alone.

Seeing this coldly, she hurriedly stood still and touched her nose, "What about Xiaohui and Qingluo?" ”

"Xiaohui went to help the housekeeper settle things, and Qingluo was also called over." Ning Fengxu replied.

"Oh," Qingqi replied casually, and said as he walked inside, "what time is it, I'm hungry, come on, go and bring lunch!" I'm going to eat here! ”

The maid departed, and Qingshu walked to the table and sat down, and poured herself a glass of water.

Ning Fengxu looked at her quietly, and suddenly spoke,

"Aoki, if I'm here, will it make you feel uncomfortable?"
