Song Qingxue sat in the car depressed for a moment, then she became energetic again.

She leaned on the stool and sat down in front of Xiahou Chongyuan. She propped her chin with one hand and looked up at him for a long while before she said, "I heard from Pin'er that the emperor called you over in the middle of the night. What was the big plan you two were discussing?"

"He encountered a memorial that he didn't know how to handle, so he asked me to go over and take a look."

"?" I was fucking confused!

"You have such a good temper." This compliment came from Song Qingxue's heart, without any falsehood!

Really! She had never seen anyone with such a good temper!

If she were to encounter such a thing, she would be so angry that she would die!

She was sleeping soundly in the middle of the night, but her boss called her and asked her to work overtime. Anyone would be angry!

She has never encountered such a situation in all the years she has been a doctor!

It has to be said that Xiahou Chongyuan's performance as regent is even more unreliable than her as a doctor.

Putting aside other things, she truly admires his professionalism!

Xiahou Chongyuan heard her sigh in her heart, but did not express any opinion.

It's not that he wants to be so good-tempered, but the late emperor entrusted Xiahou Le to him, so he has the obligation to guide the emperor well.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Song Qingxue knew that there was no point in talking about this topic, but she had a lot of things she wanted to say and had no shortage of topics!

For example, the woman who followed Xiahou Jun today.

She knew that woman.

Qin Zhen, the top performer in the best music hall in Shangjing City.

In the original text, Qin Zhen was Xiahou Chun's first concubine.

However, when Qin Zhenjin arrived at the palace, the war with the Yuchi Kingdom had already ended.

At that time, Xiahou Chun had just achieved great success and was at the height of his fame, but Zhao Wanqiu had a conflict with him over some trivial matters. In a fit of rage, he brought the gentle and caring top performer in the music hall back to the palace.

When he brought his men back, Zhao Wanqiu was also very arrogant. She was stubborn and ignored him every day. It was not until he had doted on Qin Zhen for a while and Qin Zhen brought his servants to act wildly on her that she finally calmed down, humbled herself and took the initiative to find Xiahou Chun.

Xiahou Chun, who originally wanted to reconcile with her, saw her lower her head on her own initiative, and the conflict between the two was eased.

However, even after reconciling with her, Qin Zhen did not immediately fall out of favor.

In fact, according to the original text, Qin Zhen was not considered to be very smart, but her gentle personality made Xiahou Chun very fond of her.

Every time Xiahou Chun had a quarrel with Zhao Wanqiu, the first person he thought of was always Qin Zhen.

Thinking of Qin Zhen, a smile appeared on Song Qingxue's face.

"Hey, Xiahou Chongyuan, do you know Miss Qin Zhen from the First Music Hall?"

Xiahou Chongyuan had heard everything she had just thought about. Now that she asked this question, he could probably guess what she wanted to do.

But he did not point it out, instead he said: "Miss Qin Zhen is also a famous person in the capital, but it's a pity that she was blind and followed Xiahou Chun."

What he said is true.

Although Qin Zhen was just a female zither player, because of her beautiful appearance and superb zither skills, many dignitaries in the capital spent huge sums of money to make her smile. However, she ignored all of them and fell in love with Xiahou Chun, who looked like a coward.

But then again, although Xiahou Chun looks incompetent, as the male protagonist, his hidden strength is undeniable. Maybe Qin Zhen was born with a pair of discerning eyes and saw that he was just a pearl covered in dust.

Of course, perhaps only she herself knows what the truth is.

Song Qingxue spread her hands and said, "It's not a pity actually. It's better for her to follow Xiahou Chun."

"Qin Zhen is just a substitute for Zhao Wanqiu. You'd better give up this idea as soon as possible." Xiahou Chongyuan finally opened his eyes and looked at her.

To be honest, such a heart-beating face, lying so obediently in front of him, was quite appealing.

At least the Regent himself felt that his heart skipped a beat the moment he opened his eyes.

He calmly lowered his eyes, deliberately avoiding the bright and charming face, and said, "Instead of trying so hard to sow discord between the two of them, it would be better to collect all the evidence of their crimes as soon as possible."

Song Qingxue puffed up her cheeks and said helplessly, "It's because it's difficult to collect evidence that I want to sow discord between the two of them!"

She was thinking that, given Zhao Wanqiu's crazy temper, if Xiahou Chun really dared to divorce her for another woman, she might fight to the death with Xiahou Chun!

But if you think about it carefully, the possibility of this is very small.

In the original text, Xiahou Chun had so many wives, but she could endure it and slowly get rid of them. Now, Qin Zhen is the only one he has.

This kind of thing is really better to just think about it.

"Oh, by the way, a few days ago you said Xiahou Chun has gained momentum in the court. What happened?"

Because of the archery competition a few days ago, she didn't have time to ask for details. Now that he was mentioned, she might as well ask.

"The emperor told me that some time ago, bandits were rampant in Qingzhou. He proposed a very good solution, and many ministers in the court changed their views on him."

"What's the solution?"

"Recruitment."

"Recruit? Bandits?!"

"Um."

Song Qingxue looked at him in shock, "No way! Do you people in the court have any misunderstanding about the word 'very good'? How can recruiting bandits be considered a good idea? Isn't that just inviting a wolf into the house?!"

Instead of refutating her words, Xiahou Chongyuan smiled at her.

"Those ministers were originally on the same side as the king."

"Even if they are from his faction, they shouldn't be praised forcefully!" Song Qingxue frowned, "Bandits are still bandits, they have hands and feet. If they really wanted to be good people, they wouldn't be bandits now! These old guys are doing this, are they afraid that their lives are too long?"

After she finished her angry scolding, she immediately asked, "So many people in the court praised his idea, didn't they really recruit those bandits in the end?"

Xiahou Chongyuan shook his head, "The method is a good one that the ministers approve of, but the emperor thinks it is inappropriate."

"That means... it didn't work?"

"Of course it can't be done."

"That's good! We're still recruiting them! If even bandits can become officials, then the country will probably be doomed."

It’s no wonder she spoke harshly, this statement is really too outrageous!

Fortunately, the late emperor did not favor Concubine Zheng, otherwise he would have made her son the new emperor, and no matter how powerful Dong Yue was, he would have defeated it sooner or later!

Xiahou Chun was really smart to recruit the bandits!

Although there are indeed people in this world who become bandits out of necessity, they are a minority after all. Most people become bandits because of their own greed.

If such people were recruited to serve as officials in the court, it would only add to the burden of the court!

Seeing that she had thought so much but still hadn't come up with an idea, Xiahou Chongyuan couldn't help but say, "The Qingzhou area is very rich, and it can be considered a piece of fat meat."

Song Qingxue was stunned at first, but then she reacted quickly.

"You mean, those bandits...are Xiahou Chun's men?"

"There is collusion."

"He's so brave!"

The bandits were real bandits, but Xiahou Chun offered sufficient conditions to make them work for him.

Song Qingxue thought about it and couldn't help but let out a hiss.

"He dares to make conditions for such a greedy bandit. Is he really not afraid of the retribution of his evil power?"

"If he was afraid, he wouldn't do this."

"That's right." Song Qingxue nodded in agreement, and then asked, "Then how did you deal with this matter?"

"The Emperor has sent troops to encircle and suppress them, and the news of victory came a few days ago."

"That's good."

When encountering such a situation, the best way is to fight violence with violence!
