The Way of the National Teacher

"Crown Princess." King Wu looked aggressively, "I wonder if I can let this king see her true face?"

Liu Shao, the crown prince of the Southern Dynasty, said sharply, "King Wu is so rude, is this the attitude of your Northern Wei Dynasty towards our Song royal family?"

King Wu's eyes did not leave He Lianzhen, "The crown prince doesn't know something. There is a concubine in the palace of the prince who fled without permission. She looks somewhat similar to the crown princess."

"Presumptuous!" Liu Shao was furious, "How can a concubine in Wu Wang's mansion be compared with the princess of this palace! Could it be that Wu Wang intends to provoke?"

A gloomy look flashed across Tuoba Yu's face, but he said, "This king has no such intentions, but I don't know who can become your concubine, Prince, I'm just curious."

He Liankuo didn't speak all the time, and only spoke when he heard this, "We in the Southern Dynasty are not as big as you in Wei, women don't show their appearance easily to outsiders, I'm afraid they will disappoint the King of Wu."

"It really is you." King Wu's eyes were about to burst into flames.But He Liankuo just wanted him to confirm himself, so he just pretended he couldn't hear him at the moment, stood behind Liu Shao and said nothing before finishing speaking.

"I know this rule," said Cui Hao who came not far away, and the three of them greeted Cui Situ quickly when they saw Cui Situ.Even King Wu didn't dare to be too presumptuous.

Cui Hao saluted them, and said with a smile, "The folk customs in the Southern Dynasty are always conservative, and the daughter's family appearance must not be revealed, and the lower officials have heard about it." He added, "It must be that the king of Wu didn't understand the rules of the Southern Dynasty, and offended the prince and princess, and misunderstood .”

"Hmph," Liu Shao sneered, "Excuse me." She grabbed Helian Kuo's wrist, and she struggled for a while, but the situation was clearly inappropriate, so she and Liu Shao got into the sedan chair and rushed back to Guoshifu.

The white wrist in the palm was smooth and soft, Liu Shao's heartbeat kept beating, and he reluctantly let go of it after sending He Lianzhen into the carriage.However, it might as well be that Helian Kuo frowned slightly, and gave him a cold look.Liu Shao was taken aback suddenly, but he didn't dare to be rude to her, so he retreated embarrassingly.

He Liankuo rubbed the center of his brows, his thoughts turned and he was in a trance for a long time.

Cui Hao watched them leave and bid farewell to the King of Wu. Just as he was about to leave, suddenly another servant came to announce, "Cui Situ, the Empress has summoned you."

"The humble minister leads the decree." Cui Hao left with the servant.A group of people who broke up the banquet didn't care.After all, Cui Situ had always been the emperor's favored minister, and also a disciple of the former national teacher Kou Qianzhi, so it was not uncommon for him to often go in and out of the inner court with the emperor.

The bright moon is in the sky.As soon as the servant brought Cui Hao into the back court, he stopped, "The Empress said, please go on your own."

Cui Hao lowered his eyes, "Yes. Thank you for leading the way." He gave the waiter a piece of silver, and the waiter went away with a smile. In a remote place at the back corner of the palace, there is a pavilion hidden behind a rockery.

Sure enough, the graceful person standing in the gazebo is not the empress or who?

Cui Situ's eyes softened, and he walked over, "See empress."

"Sit." Empress Helian said calmly.Logically, Cui Situ should not sit on an equal footing with the empress, but as soon as Empress Helian spoke, he sat beside the empress, "Are you feeling unwell again?"

Empress Helian pursed her lips, "It's okay. I'm used to it." She poured a glass of wine for Cui Situ and handed it to him, "Don't freeze."

"Thank you for your concern." Cui Situ smiled, and took her wine cup, "Do you have something on your mind?"

Empress Helian paused for a moment, "The Southern Dynasty crown princess's surname is Helian?"

"That's right," Cui Hao paused, "It just so happens that I have the same surname as your empress."

Empress Helian glanced at him, "Does Master Situ know her origin?"

Cui Hao was silent for a while, "What do you suspect?"

"Oh," Empress Helian turned cold, "Naturally, I suspect that there is still a fish that slipped through the net in Da Xia, and was not killed by Lord Situ!"

Cui Hao hurriedly said, "Look, I'm anxious again." Cui Hao held her hand, "You can't get angry, it's not good for your health."

"Don't worry about Cui Situ." Empress Helian pulled out her hand.

Cui Hao sighed, "It's okay for you to blame me, but you shouldn't take your own body seriously. The Great Xia is dead, so why should you never forget it! Besides, Your Majesty has favored you, you are the lord of the six palaces—"

Before Cui Hao could finish speaking, Empress Helian gave him a cold look, "Let's go."

Cui Hao choked.After a while, he said, "Okay, I just don't say anything."

"You've always thought this way," Queen Helian said softly, "You think I'm married to a man who destroyed my homeland and my people, and if he treats me well, I should devote myself to him. Cui Hao, in your In your heart, is this how you look at a woman? I thought that no one could understand women better than you. But you, I am so disappointed." She glanced at Cui Hao quietly, "The man has been doing this for a long time, Don't you even understand a woman's mind?"

Cui Hao froze and fell silent.

Seeing this, Queen Helian sneered, "Why am I telling you this, you are also an accomplice." She got up to leave.

Cui Hao grabbed her wrist, "Don't get angry."

"None of your business."

"Your Majesty!" Cui Hao said, "Your Majesty entrusts your safety to this humble official, and this humble official dare not slack off in the slightest."

Upon hearing this, Queen Helian immediately shook off his hand, "Your Majesty... Oh, you are really a loyal minister."

"Mother," Cui Hao stubbornly held her wrist again, "Please don't—"

"Without His Majesty's will, you wouldn't care about me at all, would you?" Queen Helian interrupted him again, "Master Situ, it's late at night, you can go."

Cui Hao clenched his palms secretly, his voice was a little hoarse, "I am a minister of the Great Wei, even if there is no order from His Majesty, I will definitely do my best to your mother."

"Really?" Empress Helian looked back at her, "You are a courtier of Great Wei, and I am the queen of Great Wei. You are loyal to me and obey me, right?"

Cui Hao's scalp tightened, "Yes."

"Okay," Queen Helian glanced at Cui Hao's hand on her wrist, "Hold me."

Cui Hao was shocked, and his voice trembled immediately, "Hu... Huang..."

Empress Helian took a step closer and stroked her face, "I order you, hug me." She said quietly, "Just like when you first saw me in the summer palace, hug me back to the palace."

"Your Majesty!" Cui Hao knelt down on the ground in cold sweat.He became an official when he was young, and he was disguised as a man, so he has always been cautious in his words and deeds, and dare not go beyond the rules.Otherwise, how can it stand for three dynasties!He knows better than anyone what should be done and what should not be touched.He has superior endurance and self-control than others, and he will never do anything that endangers his family.What's more, he is worshiped under Kou Qian's sect, and he has always regarded Qingxiu as his duty.Master Cui has never sought love in his life, but only to show off his ambitions.Since the day he decided to disguise himself as a man, he gave up his rights as a woman.He told himself that he would never let this world down.He only wants two things, one is naturally to display his talents and make people proud of the world, and the other is to live a long life and enjoy the prosperity of the world.He did both of these things.Master Cui is now over 50 years old, but his face is not old, and his actions are more vigorous than that of a teenager.It has won the emperor's honor and favor, and is famous all over the world.

Cui Situ has long been seeking benevolence, he thought that this life would be enough, but who would have thought... that day he met Helian Ying, the eldest princess of the Summer Palace.The bloodbathed Xia Palace was full of corpses and severed hands and feet. He charged into battle for Tuoba Tao and killed all the way there, but saw the Xia Palace ablaze with flames.In the light of the fire stood a well-dressed woman. Although the blood was stained and her hair was messy, she couldn't hide her proud and beautiful face.That was Helianying, the eldest princess of Daxia.Holding a torch, she looked up at Master Cui and a group of soldiers who led the troops to kill her. Her eyes were steadfast. She didn't know whether the long skirt was stained red by blood or reflected red by the fire. She looked proudly at the slaughter of her homeland and clansmen enemy.

It was the first time in Cui Hao's life that his heart beat suddenly and uncontrollably, for such a resolute and fierce woman.When he was about to rush in to save people, he suddenly heard the voice of Tuoba Tao who rushed to the side, "I want her to be my queen, come and put out the fire!"

Cui Hao's heart skipped a beat, before the soldiers rushed towards the fire, he jumped off his horse and ran towards the woman.

He Lianying was already at the end of her strength, she was just trying to hold her breath.In any case, she belongs to the Great Xia royal family and will never bow to the enemy.But when Cui Hao came over to touch her acupuncture points, hugged her forcefully and rushed out of the fire scene, she had no ability to resist at all.From then on, she hated Cui Hao.

Emperor Tuoba Tao would not coax women, as the emperor, there are many women around him who flatter and pet him, and he himself is a talented emperor who does not indulge in female sex, so the task of persuading He Lianying falls on Cui on Hao.

The emperor saved not only Helian Ying, but also her sisters, her royal family in Daxia.Only, no man.Almost all the women in the Xia Palace were brought into the Great Wei Harem.She wants everyone to die for the country like her, but unfortunately people are greedy for life and afraid of death.When her young sister tremblingly said to her, Sister Huang, I'm afraid, when all the women in the harem were looking at her pitifully and wanted the eldest princess to find a way out for them, she compromised.She finally became the queen of Wei.

As for the harem of the Great Wei Dynasty, most of them were women who had subjugated the country and exterminated the clan.Emperor Tuoba Tao conquered the north and south, pacified the world, destroyed as many countries as he brought back as many captives and female relatives.The harem is full of poor people.

The eldest princess has never hated a person so much.She hates Cui Hao more than the emperor who destroyed her country.She originally only wanted to die, but Cui Hao saved her.She was already heartbroken, but Cui Hao's meticulous care made her heart warm again.She used to have many court attendants who made her happy, but none of them could match Cui Hao's skills. At that time, Master Cui did not hesitate to go to the mountains and seas, and even put down his figure to pretend to be a clown, just to make Bomei smile.She was finally a little happy, but Cui Hao told her that His Majesty wants to make you queen.

This sentence was even more unacceptable to her than when she found out that Cui Hao was a woman.However, everything is a foregone conclusion.

Master Cui is a well-known loyal minister!

Empress Helian sneered, and glanced at Cui Situ who was kneeling at her feet, "Aren't you a loyal minister? Now you are disobedient to my palace's will?"

Cui Hao gritted his teeth and did not speak.Master Situ felt that he had never been ashamed in his life, but he could not lift his head up when he was only facing Wei's queen.That was the empress of the Great Wei, no longer the Princess of Subjugation who had never been in the middle palace.The time she once stole has gone with time.

Empress Helian kicked her so annoyed, her chest heaved violently, she couldn't help shaking her body, and she was about to faint.

"Mother!" Cui Hao quickly got up and hugged her, Empress Helian gave her a bitter look, "Cui Hao, I hate you."

Cui Hao's voice was distorted in anxiety, "Don't be angry, you can't be angry. He Lianying..." The hard-as-steel Master Cui's eyes turned red at this moment, and he was almost speechless, "Don't be angry..."

Seeing this, Empress Helian gently hooked her neck and leaned on her neck, "I hate you..."

Cui Hao's heart tightened, and he endured a few moments before resisting the urge to hug her tightly.

"I really envy the wives and concubines in your family." After Empress Helian said softly, Cui Hao suddenly came back to his senses, and wanted to let go of her, but he didn't know whether he was afraid or unwilling to let go, so he whispered, "I'm sorry ..."

Mr. Cui used to marry a wife, but later died of illness, so he remarried again.This is a very common thing in Dawei, and it would be disgraceful for a man to keep the chastity for a woman.It's just that Mr. Cui is keen on Qingxiu, and has always been opposed to intercourse, so he hardly deals with the matters of husband and wife.But because he was so famous and studied under famous teachers, everyone knew that he was a strange man, even so, no one criticized him.Even after his wife's death, his wife's natal family sent their youngest daughter to Cui's mansion to become Cui Hao's successor without hesitation in order to reconcile with Cui Jiayong.

For a man, as long as he maintains integrity, is virtuous, and has made many achievements, who cares about his wife?At that time, people believed that a wife should be an ox and a horse for her husband, and let her husband drive her.

Since Mr. Cui decided to be a man, he couldn't avoid it.However, facing Queen Helian at this moment, he couldn't even utter a word of defense.She didn't feel ashamed of her two wives. Compared to other families, Master Cui cared more for his wives, and even gave them everything they could, regardless of whether they were having an affair with someone or not.And he also saw many concubines in the family's family, who were abandoned like a wretch when they were old, such as the deadly enemy Gao Pinggong, and there were groups of wives and concubines in the family.

Women are such playthings.Cui Hao hated this world, so he was even more thankful that he pretended to be a man.He is so talented, he is so proud, he doesn't pay attention to anything else, but it is Empress Helian who messed up her mind.Master Cui is deeply trapped in this catastrophe, and her cultivation has long since failed to improve.

There is a person living in my heart, which makes Mr. Cui gradually start to grow old.Although no one has seen it yet, Master Cui knows it in his heart.However, he was secretly happy that he could grow old slowly with her.

They hugged each other shallowly, as if they were apart.Time was quiet, only the breathing and heartbeat of the two of them could be heard.

It was too quiet, so quiet... Finally, Master Cui smelled another breath——

Chu Li didn't know where she had gone at first, she walked around in a mess, and seeing that there was no one around here, she leaned on the rockery and let herself go.Until I heard footsteps, and the next voice...

"Your Majesty, you go first." Cui Hao said softly, pointing to Empress Helian with his eyes, but unexpectedly, Empress Helian frowned, followed her gaze, left her, and walked behind the rockery.

Cui Hao was taken aback, fearing that something might go wrong with her, he hurried to follow, but when he saw the person behind the rockery, he was shocked, "National Teacher!"

"Little national teacher?" Empress Helian paused for a while, with pity in her expression, but said, "It's a pity." The implication is that he must die at a young age, how can it be a pity!

Cui Hao was startled when he heard the words, but he also realized the seriousness of the problem, his face darkened immediately, and he grabbed Chu Li's neck.

As for Chu Li, although his cultivation base is advanced, his force value has degraded to zero because of his lack of courage. At this moment, he has no power to resist Cui Situ, who once fought in the battlefield.
