Chapter 165 Is there any chance of a turnaround?
The next day, Song Wenshi, who had been suspended from work and was reflecting on his mistakes at home, received an imperial decree to dismiss him from office. He fainted on the spot.
When he woke up again, he beat his eldest son despite his wife's objection.
"Didn't I ask you to give something to your younger sister? What did you give me? It caused me to lose my job." Song Wenshi was almost mad.
When the emperor ordered someone to convey his decree, although he did not say it explicitly, he did give him a warning.
After he woke up, he thought about it for a while, and finally realized that it was his son who had given the wrong gift and offended Song Yulan.
That's why he suffered this misfortune.
"I gave it to her. I gave her Fu Guang Jin. Such a precious thing, wouldn't it be enough to satisfy her?" Song Chong's eyes dodged.
He had not expected that his younger sister was now so capable that she could actually incite the emperor to dismiss his father from office.
Song Wenshi could see that his son was hiding something from him, so he beat him even harder.
"You little bastard, why don't you tell the truth? I'll beat you to death."
Song Chong was beaten so hard that he cried out in pain and finally had to tell the truth.
After hearing this, Song Wenshi was so angry that his hands were shaking.
Song Chong hid behind his mother and shouted, "Dad, let's go and file a complaint. Why did the emperor dismiss you based on a woman's whispers? Let's ask the adults to judge. This is not fair."
Song Wenshi was so angry that he threw away the whip that was broken into two pieces in his hand.
For the first time, he felt that his eldest son was as stupid as a pig.
You are just feeding your brain to pigs when you go to the emperor to complain.
If a plaque falls in the capital, it can hit several royal relatives. He is just a seventh-rank official. Who would speak up for him? But he would rather take advantage of the situation and step on others.
"From today on, you are not allowed to go out or send anything to the palace." Song Wenshi was tired.
"Hurry up and find him a wife and have children. I want to have grandchildren."
Song Wenshi gave up his eldest son.
Since his son was not capable, he taught his grandson step by step. It is impossible that his grandson would be so stupid, right?
【Haha, you deserve it! 】
[Bad guys like this deserve more beatings. ]
[Sir Song is still soft-hearted. Why did you use the bamboo whip? You could use a steel one. The steel one won’t stop!]
[Oh, Master Song, your son is useless, so you are counting on your grandson? ]
Lu Li happily ate the melon in her mother's arms.
Lord Song?
Could this be the melon from Concubine Song’s family?
The concubines looked at Song Yulan.
Song Yulan lowered her head, unable to control the smile on her lips.
Fortunately, the Ninth Princess had a system for eating melons, which allowed her to be the first to know that her elder brother was beaten by their father. She felt secretly happy.
She doesn't care what others think.
She is the official of the fifth rank in the Ministry of Civil Affairs!
Those who envy her may never become a fifth-rank official in their lifetime.
"What do you think of the children's class proposed by Concubine Shu?" The Queen finished eating the melon and looked at the other concubines.
The Royal Girls' College is in full swing and will soon be opening its second term.
This time, Concubine Shu suggested opening another class for young children.
Noble girls aged three or above could enter the school, which also provided a place for several princesses.
Let’s give it a try first. If it goes well, the Ninth Princess can enroll directly in two years.
Xia Shuyi was very interested in this proposal, but she still asked for everyone's opinions.
"I think this is a good suggestion."
Everyone agreed.
Lu Li felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
No way, Daxia will not die, but she only has one and a half years left to play???
It's obvious that she just wanted to be a parasite and enjoy life since she was reborn.
She didn't want to be like her third brother, who kept repeating nonsense every day.
Lu Li frowned and tried to object: "I don't agree."
"Xiaojiu, you are still young. When you have learned enough and become a teacher, it will be useful if you disagree." Xia Shuyi looked at her daughter with a smile.
Wait until she can be a teacher?
That will be many years later.
Lu Li suddenly became depressed.
Seeing the usually lively little princess become like this, everyone couldn't help but laugh.
Lu Li pursed her lips as she looked at these ladies who were smiling happily.
Wuwu, bullying, she doesn't want to stay with them anymore, she wants to go find her father.
"I want our father!" Lu Lichong stretched out his hand to Lu Ran who was standing beside him.
The queen understood what she meant and nodded with a smile: "Send her to the emperor."
Lu Ran said yes and carried Lu Li to Yu's study.
Just when Lu Yanshi wanted to know about Long Wudi's situation, Lu Li came to him. He happily took the little daughter from Lu Ran's arms.
"What's wrong with Xiaojiu? Are you unhappy?"
Lu Li pursed her lips, feeling very aggrieved, and nodded.
“I don’t want to go to school.”
Lu Yanshi laughed dumbly: "You are still so young, you don't need to go to school."
"But my eighth sister is going to school, how can I be far away?" Lu Li felt sympathetic.
[As the saying goes, if you don't worry about the future, you will have immediate worries. Father, you don't understand my suffering. ]
Listening to her inner thoughts, Lu Yanshi could no longer hold back and burst out laughing.
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Come here, Xiaojiu, let your father play with you."
He made a gesture to Cao Dehai.
Cao Dehai understood what he meant.
The emperor had already told him that when he made this gesture, he was to report the matter to the emperor of southern Xinjiang.
Although he didn't know why the emperor did this.
But a qualified eunuch chief steward only needs to do what the emperor tells him to do, without asking why.
"Your Majesty, a secret letter came from the border saying that the Dragon Emperor arrived in southern Xinjiang yesterday."
"Okay, I understand." Lu Yanshi nodded.
[Hey, Long Wudi is home? ]
Lu Li immediately became interested.
The days when she can enjoy melons so leisurely are numbered.
She has to hurry and eat the melon.
[Hahahaha, don't be so funny. Long Wudi has agreed with his father to surrender. Lord Kang can't stand this blow and wants to hang himself.]
Lu Yanshi raised his eyebrows slightly.
Whether there will be chaos in Southern Xinjiang depends on whether Long Wudi has the ability to convince those ministers.
…
Kang You, who failed to hang himself, was rescued.
He knelt in front of Long Wudi with tears and snot.
"Your Majesty, you are confused."
"It's all my fault. I shouldn't have let you go to Daxia alone."
"The Great Xia Emperor is cunning and deceitful! The first time you cheated us out of 600,000 taels of silver, the second time you sent us another 500,000 taels of silver, and the third time, you gave away the entire Southern Xinjiang."
"Wuwuwu, what should I do?"
Kang You wiped his tears, heartbroken.
Long Wudi was given a headache by his crying.
"Don't cry, I'm doing this for the good of the people."
"I can't help it, wuwuwuwu." Kang You felt very regretful now.
He should have overcome all difficulties and followed His Majesty to Daxia.
Just because he didn't go, now he has lost his home.
"To surrender without a fight is a humiliation. I would rather die than agree to it." Kang You said this in a powerful voice.
"I'm not surrendering without a fight." Long Wudi spoke a little uncomfortably.
"Hmm?" Kang You stopped crying.
Is there any chance of a turnaround?
