Chang'an is good

The Grand Tutor didn't look happy. He turned his head back, straightened his sleeves, and said sarcastically, "Why, Your Highness, are you here to confront me in person?"

"That's not necessary." Li Suining said in a relaxed tone: "I have always been a tolerant person, and now I have calmed down."

The Grand Tutor said coldly, "Your Highness is so magnanimous. I would like to thank you very much."

Li Suining: "I am a student, so I have to be more tolerant and patient. Besides, if not, how could the teacher's injury heal so quickly?"

"Don't try to be nice after getting the upper hand!" The Grand Tutor turned half his body and glared at the man pretending to be innocent and helpless: "The thief is crying thief, do you think you are innocent?"

"So we are the same as teachers and students." Li Suining said with a smile: "Then no one should say anything to each other, let's just call it a draw."

There was no need to elaborate on the love and dedication between her and her teacher. There was no need to elaborate on why the teacher did this and why she went to Beijing early.

She was indeed a little angry, but that anger was due to fear.

Now that I have come to my senses, I am no longer afraid, and I am no longer angry.

For Li Suining, being able to push his teacher along like this is the greatest blessing.

But Master Chu didn't think so. He could keep his heart to himself, but he would scold people! He had a lot of insults in his heart!

At this moment, Li Suining pushed his teacher forward, followed by Wei Shuyi and Qiao Yang. Lu Chong had led the imperial guards to retreat ten steps behind and followed. Lu Chong's original intention was to make it easier for Her Royal Highness the Princess to talk, but he didn't know that this clearly created a perfect condition for Her Royal Highness the Princess to be scolded.

If there was any real outsider present, the tutor would have to consider the student's face, but now he could scold him freely.

As for Qiao Yang and Wei Shuyi, they could not be relied upon. One of them did not dare to persuade, and the other did not want to persuade at all and just wanted to watch the fun.

Although the world is fickle and people's hearts are fickle, Li Suining never fights a battle without preparation. Before the teacher really made a move, she suddenly interrupted the teacher and asked without hesitation: "Teacher, what do you think of the scenery here?"

"It's barely passable!" Master Chu: "Don't look around and talk about it. Today, I--"

"Let's give this place to you to fish." Li Suining interrupted the teacher again: "I plan to have someone build a separate courtyard here, which is not far from the city. Whenever I miss you, I can come here anytime."

"..." Master Chu suddenly choked.

Qiao Yang sighed with envy and said hurriedly, "When I have some free time, I will come to find you, Master, and borrow your precious land to catch some fish. I hope you won't chase away talented people!"

Master Chu ignored Qiao Yang, but he felt very happy in his heart. Looking at the mountains and rivers, his anger was mostly gone.

Wei Shuyi, standing by, exclaimed in admiration: "When it comes to avoiding disasters and finding a way out of desperate situations... Your Highness is truly an expert in this field."

At first he turned the tables and refused to show up. Then when they met, he was so polite that no one could scold him. A big scolding was resolved just like that. How resourceful he was.

"But who can become a leader without any reason?" Li Suining said modestly, "It's just that I have a lot of experience and practice makes perfect."

"You are just trying to say that I scolded her a lot! Listen, this is the good student I taught!" Although Master Chu's voice was not low, there was no anger in it. He continued, "You gave this place to me, and you thought she was kind and generous, but you just used me as a gravekeeper!"

Qiao Yang laughed and said, "If Mr. Luo knew that you were the gravekeeper, he would be terrified!"

"This place has a pleasant feng shui, and it is a rare treasure." Wei Shuyi said with a smile: "Taifu, if you live here, you will definitely live more than a hundred years."

"Then I will enjoy my old age in peace." The Grand Tutor finally stopped arguing: "I will leave the court to you young people."

Wei Shuyi: "We have little experience, so we have to come to ask for advice from the Master frequently. I hope the Master will not find it annoying."

Upon hearing this, Master Chu felt a headache and annoyed. He waved his hands unbearably and said, "Don't disturb my peace. Go ask for advice somewhere else..."

Hearing Li Suining also laughing, the old master glanced back at her and said, "I knew you had bad intentions and deliberately tied me up in front of you and made me suffer so much trouble!"

As he spoke, he thought of an old account: "I heard from Prime Minister Wei that he had proposed to the emperor that I should be the unlucky Minister of Rites. It was you who came up with the evil idea behind the scenes... You, the evil bamboo shoot, started plotting against me before I even showed up!"

"..." Li Suining looked at Wei Shuyi who was standing beside her. Was this guy going to sell her out like that?

Wei Shuyi just smiled and said nothing. The Grand Tutor suspected that he had been dissatisfied with him for a long time. He could not bear the Grand Tutor's criticism alone, so he had no choice but to tell the truth.

"That's also because a student misses his teacher..." Qiao Yang stroked his hair, "In those years, the master wanted to retire and his spirit was scattered, which inevitably made people worried... If it weren't for someone who truly missed you, how could he have thought of this?"

The more stubborn an old person's temper is, the less things he has to do, and the worse it is.

If the Grand Tutor really retired like that, given his personality, he would probably die alone and depressed.

Having something to worry about can make you feel a little nervous.

Anyway, the Grand Tutor never puts himself in a difficult position. He would rather let young people suffer than put himself in a difficult position in official duties. He will not get hurt by being tired.

Seeing that Qiao Yang was stroking the hair very steadily, Li Suining gave him an approving look.

Qiao Yang was not modest this time, and stroked his beard confidently - if he didn't have the special skill of stroking hair, would the Grand Tutor have chosen him as his partner to go fishing together for so many years?
The four of them walked forward, talking incessantly. The old tutor stopped pestering the students and finally asked them about the main business: "It's time to put the important matter on the agenda. Have you made a decision?"

Li Suining nodded: "Teacher, don't worry, it has been arranged."

Master Chu knew what she would choose, so he nodded and did not ask any more questions. He just gave her a few words of advice from a teacher's perspective.

Li Suining listened carefully, pushed the teacher, and slowly walked into the pleasant breeze of early summer, looking into the depths of the rolling green hills.

Going east along Huainan Road, the mountains and rivers become gradually gentler, and the breeze blows the weeping willows.

Outside the city of Jiangdu, there is a secluded courtyard half-hidden in the green of spring and summer. Lotus roots and bamboos are planted in the courtyard. It is quiet everywhere and there are few human voices.

In the afternoon of that day, a group of people came and broke the tranquility that had remained unchanged for many days.

There is a stone table in front of a clump of dense green bamboo. At this moment, two maids are standing quietly beside it, watching over the person who is sitting quietly.

The meditator was wearing a loose, dark-colored robe, his hair, almost silver-white, combed meticulously and fixed with two red-gold hairpins, and his whole body exuded an air of elegance.

She placed one hand quietly across the stone table, silently looking at the group of more than ten people.

The leader was a lady in blue clothes.

After the lady bowed, she raised her head slightly, revealing a thin face that was calm and upright.

The Emperor of the Holy Ce recognized her. She was the daughter of Yao Tingwei. Five years ago, there was chaos during the sacrificial ceremony in Dayun Temple. This girl exposed her biological mother, Pei, in public and used a golden hairpin to disfigure herself. The scar is still there now.

The little official's daughter in the past, whose life was ruined in the eyes of everyone, now seemed to be able to stand on her own, standing in front of her without any fear. Yao Ran half-lowered his eyes and bowed again.

Behind her were Wang Yue, Wang Changshi, and other Jiangdu officials, all of whom followed her to perform the ceremony.

Yao Ran opened his mouth and stated his purpose, concisely and without question: "The princess has ordered that the emperor return to the capital."

There was finally a slight fluctuation in the eyes of the Holy Ceremonial Emperor. She grasped the dragon staff and slowly stood up.

In the sunlight, the bamboo leaves rustled, shaking off pieces of gold all over the ground.

The Holy Ceremonial Emperor turned his head and looked towards the western sky.

On the Dragon Boat Festival in May, the Holy Emperor set out from Jiangdu to return to the capital.

On the way, the emperor, who had experienced many hardships, wrote a "Confession of Sins" in his own handwriting, confessing his many mistakes and admitting that he had let down the people of Dasheng. Even if he wanted to change, he was now too old to be of any use. So he asked to give up the throne and follow the will of heaven and the people. He appointed Crown Princess Li Suining as the new emperor to ensure the stability of Dasheng and the stability of the world.

In this edict, he not only confessed his mistakes as the emperor to the world, but also stated his past as a mother who had forced his young daughter Li Shang to pretend to be his brother Li Xiao in order to deceive his superiors and subordinates.

[What did the young girl do wrong? I am a member of the imperial court and a commoner. My identity is fake, but my achievements are real. All the mistakes I made are my fault.]

Apart from this, she never expressed her apology as a mother. She knew very well that her daughter no longer needed her apology, so there was no need for her to express it in vain to the world.

This edict quickly spread everywhere, causing an uproar in the world.

Amid the uproar, there were also some unexpected voices.

The surprise was not that the Holy Ceremonial Emperor was willing to abdicate. Under the current situation, her abdication was inevitable. She had no other choice...

To the surprise of many people, the murderous princess still allowed the exiled emperor to return to the capital in the most generous and decent manner.

After the abdication edict was issued, people from all over the country no longer hesitated and waited, and the voices proposing to establish a new emperor were overwhelming.

Faced with this invitation, the Crown Princess did not refuse repeatedly. She simply nodded calmly and said just "yes".

Seeing this obligatory and self-reliant attitude, the officials who were about to kneel down to beg were caught off guard - he nodded right away?

However, she couldn't help but think that the throne was something she had won and what she deserved. There was truly no one in the world who deserved it more than her.

Their new king is full of youthful vigor, confident and calm. The world is probably about to usher in an unprecedented new atmosphere... and they will all be witnesses and experiencers.

Amid the excitement of the world, another piece of good news came back from the north.

The Tubo army was defeated.

And they did not simply flee back home in defeat, but their retreat was blocked. The 200,000 Tubo troops were like trapped beasts, and were surrounded and killed until less than 70,000 were left. The Tubo king was no longer angry, but desperate and panicked. He claimed that he was deceived and instigated by Princess Gu'an who was in collusion with Li Yin, which led to his big mistake.

The Tubo King took the initiative to hand over the traitor Mingluo as a sign of sincerity in seeking peace.

Tubo had a vast territory, and Dasheng at that time did not have the ability to fight it to the death. This great victory was the result of the leader's ability, high morale, and the blessing of the Flying Fire Artifact, rather than a reflection of Dasheng's strong national strength.

On the contrary, Dasheng, which had been ravaged by war for years, was in urgent need of rest and recuperation.

The best situation at the moment is that the Tubo army, having suffered heavy losses, is asking for peace.

Li Suining was delighted to hear the news and ordered General Cui Jing to withdraw his troops and return to the capital.

As the news of the great victory spread, the court and the people were excited.

Some ministers suggested that an auspicious date for ascending the throne should be set as soon as possible. Li Suining chose the latest one among the three auspicious dates calculated by Wu Jue and Tianjing, which was in late June.

An official gently reminded her that it might be too late, but the Crown Princess said, "I have to wait for the general to return to the capital."

The official who reminded him was stunned for a moment, and most of the others were also stunned. Soon, someone smiled and agreed, saying, "The general has been stationed in the northern border for nearly five years. He is an undisputed hero who protects the country. Your Highness is wise in thinking this way."

This general Cui Jing commands a large army and has made countless military achievements over the years, guarding the northern gate, repelling the Tubo, recruiting soldiers and raising horses. His prestige in the army is already very high. This man is rebellious, and if he is not satisfied, he may become disloyal...

As for those insignificant rumors, what do they count for in the face of the real big picture? People's hearts are fickle, not to mention their own interests.

At this critical moment, stabilizing this person and calming his heart is indeed a matter that cannot be taken lightly... Although Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess acts according to her heart, she is indeed wise.

Listening to the praises, Wei Shuyi just smiled and said nothing.

Some ministers began to worry about how to reward the general after he returned to the capital. This matter was also very important, so some officials discussed it.

Amid the discussion, an official couldn't help but look at Wei Shuyi: "...Why is Prime Minister Wei so silent today?"

Wei Shuyi raised his eyebrows slightly, and smiled at the princess sitting above him: "Wei believes that the princess has a good plan."

After much thought, since there is no reward to be given, if one wants to "stabilize" Cui Ling'an and appease the people of the court and the world, it seems that there is only one way to choose.

Wei Xiang sighed in his heart - it's really a matter of time and fate, others can't envy it.

The days pass quickly in the busy and orderly scene.

On June 16th, the cicadas outside Beijing were chirping and the sky was as blue as a clear sky.

Loud eagle cries were heard, and three eagles, one big and two small, that had gone to investigate circled back from the north.

"He's back, Xiaojing is back!" Adian ran forward happily to greet him.

The officials who came to greet them immediately came out from under the awning set up beside the official road and looked towards the north.

After waiting for a while, he heard the sound of horse hooves.

In the height of summer, the horses' hooves are in a hurry, the grass is lush and green, and there is no dust or smoke.

A man and a horse were the first to appear in everyone's sight.

The war had ended and it was the middle of summer. The man on the horse was not wearing armor, but a dark blue robe. A Hequ horse, with a shiny black body, was returning from the north.

Hearing these sounds, the heavy sky-blue gauze curtains hanging in front of the imperial carriage were lifted by a hand, and then, a light green skirt fluttered, and a figure wearing a round-necked gauze robe as bright and clear as jasper lightly jumped out of the carriage. (End of this chapter)
