Since this confession has been handed over to Lord Jian, I believe Lord Jian can take out this confession at the most appropriate time and make the most of it."
Tan Qinghui is a smart man, otherwise he would not have been able to sit in the position of Jingzhao Prefecture Governor for so long. However, such a person should not take sides in this way. If he is not careful, he may bring disaster upon himself.
"I heard that when Lord Tan was investigating the case of medicinal materials, he did not punish Zhao Shiqin, but instead protected him." Su Chenyu asked, "Does Lord Tan trust Zhao Shiqin so much?"
"To answer your words, my father was critically ill and it was Elder Zhao who came to see him in person, saving his life. The Zhao family was in trouble before and I only did my little bit to help. Fortunately, Prince Consort discovered the truth, otherwise I would not be able to save the Zhao family."
Su Chenyu smiled and said, "My father relies heavily on you, Sir Tan. Why did you come here today?"
Tan Qinghui bowed to Su Chenyu again and said, "Your Majesty, you may not know that the commander of the Yulin Guard, Tan Yanxi, is my half-brother. This time, he was sent to Xixia as an envoy. Thanks to your care, Your Majesty and Your Majesty, he was able to return safely. I will never forget your kindness and virtue."
After Tan Yanxi returned from Western Xia, he told Tan Qinghui all about his experiences along the way. Only then did Tan Qinghui realize that this mission was full of dangers and they almost couldn't come back.
In this way, Tan Qinghui became even more grateful to Su Chenyu and Baili Yanqing.
Su Chenyu really didn't know the relationship between Tan Qinghui and Tan Yanxi. She originally just wanted Tan Yanxi to testify about Lian Shizhao after he came back, but she didn't expect to have this unexpected gain.
"Master Tan is keeping this matter very secret."
Tan Qinghui replied with some disapproval: "My younger brother is different from others. He said that he could make a name for himself without relying on the Tan family, so he concealed his identity and joined the Yulin Guard. I never thought that he could become the commander of the Yulin Guard."
"If it's because of the mission to Xixia, Lord Tan can tell my brother not to worry about it. My master and the prince consort took them to Xixia, so we should protect them and bring them back safely." At this point, the smile on Su Chenyu's face dimmed a little, "It's true that they suffered a lot along the way."
"My Lord, when I entered the officialdom, I was full of passion, but the current situation affected me, and I don't know when my mind changed. For such a long time, it's not that I didn't see the actions of Wuling Marquis and the prince, but I was afraid of causing trouble, so I pretended to be blind and deaf.
But what the Lord did and said made my blood, which had long since cooled down, warm up again. If there is a wise ruler, I would naturally be willing to be that loyal and loyal minister. "
Tan Qinghui spoke without any concealment. He did not want to be the one who was sober while everyone else was drunk. Being able to sink with the world and avoid disasters was definitely the best choice.
However, deep in his heart he had always harbored the wish of a peaceful and tranquil life like when he first entered officialdom. He originally thought that this was hopeless, but Su Chenyu gave him hope again. For this faint hope, Tan Qinghui was willing to give it a try.
"Does Lord Tan trust me so much?"
Tan Qinghui answered solemnly: "When the Lord was in danger, he did not abandon any of his followers, and even risked his life to save others. Therefore, I believe in the choice you made, and I am willing to stand on your side and will never regret it!"
"Then I will definitely not let Master Tan down."
Su Chenyu knew that there were many officials like Tan Qinghui who seemed to go with the flow but always maintained sincerity in their hearts.
If a person like this meets a wise ruler, he can become an effective minister.
