Several children had lunch together at Su Qingyao's place, which was quite lively.

But because it was so lively, several children gathered together and no one wanted to take a nap.

Even Yun Shu, who always loved sleeping the most, was very energetic at the moment.

Although Chengjin and Yi'an didn't have to go to the study room, the master also left homework.

Yi'an's work basically involves copying and reciting ancient poems, while Chengjin's work is more complicated. He not only needs to copy and recite, but also has his own understanding.

The two of them sat at the table and studied their homework together. The two little guys were noisy and babbling on the side, but they couldn't understand anything.

Yi'an would hit the two little guys on the head with a brush from time to time, but Chengjin was not affected at all.

Su Qingyao asked Ziqiu to prepare fruits for the children. Yi'an ate while writing, while Chengjin concentrated on writing.

When Yi'an saw how serious the emperor's brother was, he stopped making trouble and completed his homework conscientiously.

As soon as Emperor Yin De entered the door, he saw this beautiful picture.

His children, except for the second princess Wen Jing who did not go on patrol due to the cold, are all in one place at the moment, studying when they should and playing when they should.

"Jin'er, Yao'er, I will take you to the government office." Because it was already afternoon, Emperor Yinde was afraid that it would be too late, so he did not go around in circles and made his purpose clear.

Su Qingyao knew that Emperor Yin De had his own considerations about who he would take with him to the government, so she couldn't refuse even if the two children hadn't taken a nap yet.

This time when he went to the government, he did not mobilize any troops. In addition to Su Qingyao and Chengjin, Emperor Yinde also brought Gu Wenkang and Li Fuhai.

A few people took only two carriages and arrived at the government office.

Although the government government in Su Qingyao's imagination was not as grand as the imperial palace, at the very least, it should be reasonable.

As for the government office in front of us, we can tell that it is a government office just by looking at the words on the plaque. Those who don't know may think it is a poor family.

Su Qingyao seemed to already know why Emperor Yinde had to come to the government and took Chengjin with him.

Liu Xun was not trying a case today. Hearing such a loud noise at the door, he guessed that His Majesty might be coming in person, and hurriedly came up with his family members, "The humble minister Liu Xun is here to see Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty."

Emperor Yinde sighed heavily, took Chengjin's hand, and walked directly to the main hall. Su Qingyao quickly followed.

Gu Wenkang stepped forward, helped Liu Xun up with his own hands, and took him to the main hall.

In the main hall, Emperor Yinde sat at the top, Chengjin stood on one side of him seriously, Su Qingyao and Gu Wenkang sat on the left and right sides, and it was obvious that Emperor Yinde was slightly unhappy at this moment.

Liu Xun stood in the hall with his head lowered, not knowing what to say for a moment.

"I have long heard that Liu Aiqing has worked hard for the imperial court for half his life and is a good official who serves the country and the people."

Hearing this, Liu Xun knelt down in fear, "I don't dare. Since I put on this black gauze hat and took over this official position, I will definitely not disappoint His Majesty."

Emperor Yinde stood up and walked down, helped the person up personally, and said in a very calm tone, "I also heard that Liu Aiqing's life was relatively poor. When I saw it today, I realized that the word "poor" is not enough to describe Liu Aiqing's life. The imperial court's money is also distributed every month. My dear, where is your money?"

Su Qingyao immediately realized this problem. A county magistrate lived like this. The Holy Father came in person, but he didn't even bring a cup of tea. Most likely, he didn't have any tea leaves to sell. So where did his monthly money go?

Could it be that someone is corrupt?

Your Majesty just punished the Zhou family half a year ago. He didn't expect that someone would dare to do such a thing.

Su Qingyao never said much about the affairs of the previous dynasty. This was also a reminder she always reminded herself in her heart. No matter how much favor Emperor Yin De gave her, she would never say a word about the affairs of the previous dynasty, otherwise she would be accused of having ulterior motives. If people know about it, where will she go to cry?

Su Qingyao stood aside, silently observing Emperor Yin De's face, and was a little relieved when she saw that he was not angry.

Liu Xun stood in front of Emperor Yinde, hesitating and unable to explain.

Emperor Yin De knew his difficulty and was not in a hurry. He just waited quietly for him to speak.

Liu Xun felt sorry for leaving an emperor waiting, so his legs softened and he knelt down in front of Emperor Yin De again, "Your Majesty, I acknowledge my guilt."

Emperor Yinde immediately helped him up and said, "I know you are a loyal minister, but you are also a citizen of Wanjin. You cannot live like this just because you help the people. You use your own money to help the people, It's a good thing, I feel very relieved, but I heard that my beloved has almost lost everything, how can I live with this?"

Liu Xun said quickly, "This is what I should do. It is my luck. I really shouldn't disturb the Holy Master because of this."

"Then you have to live your own life. If everyone becomes an official and does what you do, I'm afraid no one will want to be an official." Emperor Yinde chuckled.

After Emperor Yinde finished speaking, he patted Liu Xun hard on the shoulder and said, "Liu Aiqing is a loyal minister. I can't treat you badly, Li Fuhai."

Li Fuhai quickly took out the banknote from his sleeve and presented it to Emperor Yinde.

After Emperor Yinde took it, he put it directly into Liu Xun's hand, "Aiqing, take it, you deserve this."

Liu Xun took the thick stack of banknotes with an indescribable feeling in his heart.

From the day he became an official, this was never what he wanted.

"Master Liu, don't refuse. This is the gratitude of His Majesty and the court to you." Gu Wenkang saw Liu Xun bending his legs and about to kneel down again, and quickly stood up to stop him.

After all, Liu Xuncai collected the banknote and repeatedly assured Emperor Yinde that he would continue to be a good official.

On the way back, Chengjin sat in the carriage and asked Emperor Yinde seriously, "Father, are you rewarding Mr. Liu like this because he has done practical things for the people?"

Emperor Yinde held Chengjin in his arms with admiration and scratched his nose, "Jin'er is right. Master Liu did this for the people, but even more for the court. I naturally want to reward him." .”

"I have always made clear rewards and punishments. Those who have done well should be rewarded, and those who have made mistakes should be punished. Only in this way can officials serve the court loyally. Jin'er, my father wants to ask you, if you study well and make great progress for a period of time, Tai Fu and your mother both praise you, but I act as if I don’t know anything and neither praise you nor reward you. Are you happy in your heart?"

Chengjin thought for a moment and said with a smile, "Father will not do this because he is a wise king who knows rewards and punishments clearly."
