Yu Shiming nodded with an ugly face, and said with a serious expression:

"Take Daddy to him."

Looking at his expression, Yu Qiaoqiao knew that there must be something important when he came this time.

"Dad, please come here."

As she spoke, she led the way in front, and Yu Shiming followed behind her with a solemn face.

Leng Xi's wound has improved a lot in the past few days, and when Yu Shiming came in, he was already able to sit up on the edge of the bed by himself.

"Lord Xi, are you recovering?"

Leng Xi frowned and looked at him, nodding in surprise,

"Lord Yu came to Xiwangfu in the morning, what is the important thing that can't be done?"

Yu Shiming sighed, and instructed Qiaoqiao:

"Qiaoqiao, you go out for a while, close the door, Dad and Lord Xi have a few words to say."

Yu Qiaoqiao nodded, walked quickly to the door, and closed the door from the outside.

When only the two of them were left here, Leng Xi asked in surprise:

"Why is this, Lord Yu?"

"Alas!"

Yu Shiming let out a long sigh,

"I just came from above the court, and the emperor decreed that he cut me and a group of officials, and directly demoted me by more than three levels, I am no longer the imperial history, just a small principal."

"What?"

Leng Xi looked at him with surprised eyes,

"Who were demoted?"

"They are all your subordinates, and they have all been demoted."

Leng Xi's eyes tightened instantly, and he muttered in his mouth,

"It seems that Leng Yu wants to cut the grass and eradicate the roots."

"Not only that, he was promoted to the second rank of Leng Ming's official residence, and all the people under him have been promoted, and the whole court is his people, I asked him, what position will be arranged for you, and he said that he will arrange it alone, so I thought about telling you, you have a psychological preparation."

Leng Xi's face became gloomy at this moment.

After a while, he clenched his fists and shook his head heavily,

"This result is not strange at all, it's just that he can arrange it as he wants!"

"But...... But he didn't announce the decree above the court and give you a reward, which is unfair to you, and you have also made meritorious contributions on the battlefield......"

"But I almost rebelled, don't you know when he does? He didn't directly order to raid my Xiwangfu's house now, and sent my Xiwangfu up and down, and he was tolerant of me, so I would regard it as atonement for my sins, where would I dare to ask for anything else? ”

"This ......"

Yu Shiming suddenly felt a feeling of suffocation.

He sighed, clasped his hands into fists and said:

"Since that's the case, then I'll leave first, and I'll go back to prepare for my appointment, and from now on, I can be my six-rank official with peace of mind."

Seeing that Leng Xi didn't respond, Yu Shiming had a cold face and walked quickly to the door.

Seeing Yu Shiming come out, Yu Qiaoqiao, who was waiting at the door, stepped forward in surprise and asked:

"Dad, are you leaving?"

Yu Shiming glanced at her, sighed helplessly and shook his head,

"Alas......"

He only sighed and walked away, which made Yu Qiaoqiao curious.

When she came to the house, she saw Leng Xi frowning, holding her forehead with her hands, thinking about something.

She stepped forward, poured a glass of water and handed it to him,

"What did my dad say to you?"

Leng Xi didn't go to pick up the glass of water, but laughed self-deprecatingly:

"He told me that he was demoted to a six-rank petty official, and he was blaming me for causing him trouble."

Yu Qiaoqiao was a little surprised, her father's official position has always been very stable in the court, why was he suddenly demoted this time?

Leng Xi continued:

"Not only that, all the people related to me have been demoted, and all the people under Leng Yu's hands have been promoted to three levels, and even Leng Ming has been promoted to three levels in a row, becoming a second-grade Shangshu."

Speaking of this, he suddenly shook his head and smiled bitterly, and muttered to himself,

"It can be seen that with the right master, the people under him can follow the meat and fish, and if you follow the wrong master, everyone will be affected!"

"What about you? What do you want to do? ”

Yu Qiaoqiao is now very afraid that he will have any thoughts that he shouldn't have.

Leng Xi lay down on the bed, his eyes looked at the top of the bed, and the corners of his mouth drooped slightly,

"I don't want to do anything now, I can take care of my injuries in peace, as long as my position as the king of the river is still there, and my business is still there, I can support the people under my hands and support this family."

His idea surprised Yu Qiaoqiao.

She looked at him stunned,

"You...... This time I thought about it very openly. ”

"Isn't that what you want?"

Yu Qiaoqiao was silent for a while, then nodded slowly,

"This is indeed the life I want, not arguing, not thinking about things that don't belong to me, living in peace, if you can think like this, I am very grateful."

Leng Xi didn't speak, but sighed secretly.

It's not that he doesn't want to fight, he can't afford to fight.

What he did was enough for Leng Yu to order him to be raided several times, but Leng Yu didn't do anything to him.

Originally, he thought that the first thing Leng Yu did after he ascended the throne was to take him down, but now it seems that Leng Yu didn't do that, he just treated him coldly, and it seems that he still misses their brotherhood.

On the first day of his reign, he did not reward him in front of hundreds of civil and military officials, which is considered a punishment for him and a tolerance for him, what right does he have to fight?

……

The Temple of Nourishing the Heart

Leng Yu had just returned from the court, and Ah Cai and Ah Hong learned that they had been named female officials, and they came to Leng Yu to thank him.

Looking at the two people kneeling on the ground, Leng Yu breathed a sigh of relief and waved his hand slightly,

"Get up, all of you!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"No need to thank me, this is what you deserve, you have taken care of the queen for many years, in the wind and rain, you have endured hardships, especially Ah Cai, the matter of the little twins, I am sorry for you!"

Hearing the emperor mention the name of the little twins, Ah Cai's mood that had just calmed down was once again set off waves.

Her eyes were red and she bowed,

"The emperor said this, the slave and maid, the matter of the little twins, that is his life, no wonder others, you and the queen have taken good care of Ah Cai over the years, if it wasn't for the queen's mother to take it in, Ah Cai would have been living on the streets at this time, where would you dare to be a female official?"

Ah Hong also followed and said:

"Ah Cai is right, our sisters were enclosed on the street to sell, if it weren't for the queen mother's rescue, at this time, we really don't know what kind of life we will live, you and the queen mother's kindness to us, we can't repay it in this life."

Seeing the two sisters mention the events of the year, Luo Lan nodded with satisfaction,

"You and I suffered a lot back then, now it's time to enjoy some blessings, from now on, I don't want to take care of the chores of the harem, you two have to worry more, and you two serve by my side during the day, and you don't have to keep vigil at night."

Hearing this, Ah Cai and Ah Hong bowed together,

"Thank you for your kindness."

At this moment, Qin Shun walked in quickly, bowed and saluted,

"Your Majesty, Prince Ming and Princess Ming are here. ”
