Cheng Yu blushed a little from her blunt words, turned her face away and said in a low voice: "Don't be gibberish, be serious."

Le Yao nodded: "It seems that Yu'er is a decent person, she likes me to smile and talk seriously. But, I'm serious, you look really good when you smile." After finishing speaking, she slightly smiled She smiled, "You don't like to laugh, it's really my honor to make you laugh."

Cheng Yu pursed his lips and glanced at her.Although Le Yao is always smiling, but the smiles to different people have distinct meanings, so she also likes to see her smile to herself.Although most of the time, her heart can't help throbbing, but Ruo makes her feel very happy.Of course, Le Yao was born too flamboyant, and her smile was always coveted, but it made her unhappy.

Seeing her thoughtful expression, Le Yao leaned over and said in a gentle voice: "Okay, I know that I will also have a family in the future, so I must only smile at you, and only smile seriously at others."

Cheng Yuqing coughed: "Okay, is there something to do here at this hour?"

Mentioning this Le Yao showed a slight smile: "Your Majesty has sent a letter, she and Su Jin are coming back. Most of Langzhou City was destroyed by the war, and the imperial court decided to allocate funds to rebuild Langzhou. It's just that the officials inevitably corrupted the law." Yes, so Junshang said that they will be sent directly to the Sheng family, and the Sheng family will directly provide some worker materials from around Langzhou to supervise the matter."

After hearing this, Cheng Yu raised her eyebrows, her eyes narrowed slightly, Le Yao shook her head, her smile undiminished.Every time Sheng Yu starts to settle accounts, it is this expression, so serious and cute.

After a while, Sheng Yu nodded: "Okay, I will inform the other side to prepare first, and finish it as soon as possible."

"En." Le Yao replied, and then his eyes hesitated, as if he wanted to say something.

Seeing that she was always open and cheerful, Cheng Yu couldn't help but ask, "What's the matter, but do you have something to say?"

Le Yao raised her eyes to look at her, but her expression was very serious, and then she sighed and said: "Just now, even though Yang Cheng can't spit ivory out of his mouth, he is talking nonsense, but one thing is true... You...you are the only one in the Sheng family now, will you..."

Seeing her nervous and serious expression, Cheng Yu raised the corners of her eyes lightly, and took up the conversation: "You want to ask if I will marry someone else for the sake of my child?"

Although Cheng Yu talked to her with a cold face, he always showed a gentle tone. At this moment, Le Yao couldn't understand what she meant, but he could guess from the words that she seemed to be angry.

Sure enough, Cheng Yu's tone became colder and colder: "Le Yao, although I have never said it clearly, I have also recognized that you are mine, and I have also recognized the relationship between you and me. Do you think I am so casual and treacherous in your eyes? If I would give up on you for the sake of my child, I wouldn't start with you."

Le Yao, who was a little flustered because of her anger, stood in place after hearing what Sheng Yu said, lowering his eyes and laughing.Immediately, she raised her head, took a step forward, and gently hugged Sheng Yu, who was still furious, into her arms. Just as Cheng Yu was about to break free from her, soft words rang in her ears: "I'm sorry, I was just thinking wildly." It's just that Yu'er is always so cold. Even though I kept telling myself that you would smile at me, I never really refused me to approach you. You must like me. But as you said, you never gave me a positive look. After I reply, I'm also afraid that you don't like me as much as I imagined. Although you are cold, if you have a good temper, if you can't be cruel and tolerate me again and again, then what should you do. "

Although Le Yao's voice was soft, Cheng Yu could hear the uneasiness and helplessness in her words, and she froze in place, with guilt in her eyes, she hurriedly said: "I... like you very much, I just... just don't like you. I'm used to... I'm not used to being so straightforward, it's not that I don't like you that much as you said..."

Cheng Yu is indeed not used to being so straightforward, after saying that, his voice became lower and lower, his condensed and beautiful face was flushed, and he lowered his head, not daring to look at the dazzling light in the eyes of the person in front of him.

Le Yao was short of breath, she couldn't hide the surprise in her eyes, she wasn't sure that it was a long time ago that Sheng Yu liked her, how could she not understand now.However, it is more difficult to hear this shy and reserved girl express her love than her smile.Le Yao hugged her slender waist, lowered her head and approached her, happily said: "Yu'er, say it again."

Sheng Yu's ears were red now, and he pushed her lightly, his usually cold voice softened a lot because of shyness: "You...you don't know how to be ashamed."

Le Yao burst out laughing, the tenderness in her peach blossom eyes was like water, she suppressed her laughter, she seemed to be whispering, and she seemed to swear: "I also like Yu'er very much, as long as Yu'er doesn't regret being with me, Le Yao will swear , I will do my best for the rest of my life, to protect and love you, and I will not regret it."

Cheng Yu has always felt that when Le Yao smiles pretentiously and charmingly, it will make people fascinated, but the restrained, gentle and tender her makes her even more powerless. Whenever Le Yao shows this side, she is deeply moved. I am deeply immersed in it, unable to extricate myself.Just like when she met her for the first time, her inadvertent thoughtfulness changed her view of this seemingly unscrupulous woman instantly.

Le Yao robbed her of her breath, and when her lips and tongue were intertwined, Cheng Yu slightly opened her eyes, the face in front of her was still seductive, her cheeks were flushed, and her slender eyelashes were trembling slightly. Zooming in, Le Yao's heart beats fast, like a drumbeat.This was probably the first time she opened her eyes with shyness, and suddenly found that the cheeky Le Yao also had a shy expression. No, she watched for a long time, but Le Yao didn't dare to open her eyes.Although she was very active when she kissed her for the first time, she only knew that she was close to her lips and didn't dare to move. Until now, her kiss is still cautious, green but lingering.

Closing his eyes, wrapping his arms around her neck, he remembered his initial evaluation of her, a woman like a red apricot, but a red apricot that came out of the wall with a branch of red apricot.Immediately couldn't help laughing, this Hong Xing is now obediently shrunk in her side of the world.

From here, Le Yao finally opened her eyes slightly, the eyebrows and eyes of the person she kissed were curved, as if the solid ice had melted into a pool of spring water, and her heart fell into it.

The capital city has also been restless recently. The battle of Langzhou spread throughout the Great Xia, and some literati who claimed to be sympathetic to the world were talking about it.During the first battle against Langzhou, many people buried gunpowder and criticized them.These gunpowder directly destroyed many houses and killed thousands of soldiers. The methods were cruel and had no morals at all, let alone the soldiers who were fellow Daxia compatriots on the opposite side.

After being maliciously used and led by some people, rumors about the regent's militarism and cruelty spread. Although most people still remembered Zhao Ziyan's compassion and kindness to the people back then, these remarks were still very rampant.When Li Fu received Zhao Ziyan's letter, he made preparations early in the morning. He could only guide the public opinion on the surface, and forcibly suppressing it was counterproductive. The few people who were intentionally instigated to confuse the crowd secretly took control, and only waited for Zhao Ziyan to return to Beijing to deal with it.

Those old fellows in the court hall had already started to speak to Zhao Xun to impeach Fu Huai, but Zhao Xun pretended to be stupid and fooled them.

When Zhao Ziyan returned to Beijing, the imperial court's 20 troops had already arrived at Shu Road in Jianmen, and together with the Langzhou defenders, they joined forces with Beiliang to directly encircle and suppress Mu Liyan's army.Under attack from three sides, Tuyuhun had no choice but to withdraw his troops overnight and take back Yizhou, taking back most of the eight cities in Shu.

After returning to Beijing, Zhao Ziyan started to go to court after a day's rest. The court, which was always full of troubles, had a queen regent today, and it was surprisingly quiet.

Zhao Ziyan was dressed in green clothes, embroidered with Nine Chapters, gold and jade decorated with swords and darts, her long hair was tied up, and she wore a crown.She was born beautiful, but this attire added a bit of majesty and handsomeness. She was sitting in the wheelchair without a trace of expression, her eyes fell on the minister below, quite intimidating.

Seeing that no one came out for a long time, she inspected the circle slightly, and said in a calm manner: "I listened to His Royal Highness when I returned to the court. My lords have important matters to report. I don't know why they are so quiet? Could it be that there are some words that only dare to agree with you?" The crown prince said, don’t you dare tell the king?”

After a while, Xu Mao stood up from the incident: "I report to your lord, and I have something to report!"

Zhao Ziyan looked up at him, Xu Mao was steadfast, looking straight at her, Zhao Ziyan raised his mouth slightly: "Speak."

"The minister, together with the censors of the Procuratorate, impeached the Southwest King Fu Huai for his great achievements, regardless of the safety of the people! His methods were brutal. He smuggled gunpowder and set up an ambush in Langzhou, and attacked Xiao Tuo's troops with gunpowder. The people were devastated. There is no sense of benevolence and righteousness in our Great Xia! The violence of the thugs has provoked criticism from the common people, making others think that my Great Xia court is violent and immoral, please take away his seal of command, and don't reuse such murderous people!" After saying that, he kowtowed deeply and fell to the ground.

Zhao Ziyan sneered: "Master Xu is sympathetic to the common people, benevolent and benevolent, it's really my great summer blessing."

Xu Mao was slightly stunned, looked up at her, and hurriedly said: "I am ashamed of this."

"It's just that you just said that the King of Southwest was very happy and didn't care about the safety of the people. I want to ask, how many people were killed or injured in the Langzhou battle? Master Xu is so heartbroken, he must be aware of it. Tell me, how many people are there? "At the end of her speech, her voice suddenly sank, and even Xu Mao, who had always been courageous, couldn't help but flinch.

Seeing that he was speechless, Zhao Ziyan turned his eyes and fell on Xue Qi: "Lord Zhongcheng, as an army supervisor, you must be more clear than Master Xu. Tell him how many there are."

"Yes." Xue Qi bowed and went out, and said loudly: "In the battle of Langzhou, more than 210 rebels were wiped out, and more than 43 of them died in gunpowder ambushes. The civilians in the city were killed or injured, and one of them A thousand and 120 people died when Tuyuhun, Qiang, and rebels besieged Langzhou. 50 people died on the way out of Langzhou City, [-] people died when the two armies fought in the city, and those who died directly from gunpowder, none!"

After the Battle of Langzhou was over, Zhao Ziyan asked people to carefully count the number of casualties, especially the casualties of innocent civilians, when cleaning the battlefield. Xue Qi was in charge of this task.The Battle of Langzhou was a big battle, and such statistics are very troublesome. Xue Qi didn't quite understand it at the time, but now he is amazed.

The people below were also stunned. Xu Mao's face was covered with cold sweat, but he still said: "But the people in Langzhou have been displaced and most of the houses have been destroyed. Why not harm the people."

"It's true, it's just that Mr. Xu thinks that the people in Langzhou fled because of the gunpowder or because of this war? As a speech officer, Mr. Xu can't even see through this point. Do you think this war The threat of quick battles to the people is greater, or the harm caused by continuous wars! Eighty thousand rebels, Mr. Xu can use your sharp tongue to persuade them to submit to the court for the sake of the common people, for the sake of benevolence, righteousness and morality! A few questions in succession caused Xu Mao to pierce his back. He raised his eyes to look at the aides who were clamoring with him, and they all shrank their heads and remained silent at the moment.

"Impeach the Southwest King? If I withdraw his seal of command, Master Xu is confident that he can recommend a suitable general for this king to lead the Southwest Army? If not, when the situation of our imperial army is in good shape, impeach the commander, Master Xu, yours." Who is the heart on? And the battle of Langzhou was all this king's idea, or is Master Xu dissatisfied with this king and wants to make trouble?"

These words are very serious, whether collaborating with the enemy or being disrespectful to the emperor is a capital offense!Xu Mao couldn't take it any longer, and kowtowed heavily: "I dare not, it's because I'm pedantic and ignorant, I failed to analyze it properly, so I got confused, please forgive my sin, my loyalty can be learned from the world!"

Zhao Ziyan glanced at him and shook his head: "As a speech officer, firstly, one must be obsessed with the country and forget one's family, and be loyal without forgetting oneself; secondly, one must be upright and straightforward; , and can learn about the past and the present. Master Xu, this time it has been shown that you have neglected your duty. As a speaker, you can't even make a basic judgment. You have wrongly judged the virtuous and foolish, and you are useless as a speaker. Please resign."

With a light word, Xu Mao immediately collapsed to the ground. He has been a speech official for so many years, and even the late emperor was afraid of him, but this time he was fascinated by ghosts for a while, and looked down on the regent in his heart, ruining his reputation for a lifetime.

Seeing that Xu Mao took off the black gauze and stepped back, Zhao Ziyan glanced at the officials again: "Is there anything else to say?"

Several people immediately lowered their heads, and Zhao Ziyan slowly opened his mouth when he saw this, "What the king has done today is not to make you feel timid. The position of the speaker is very important, and the responsibility is equally important. You must restrain yourself and be cautious in your words and deeds. If you make mistakes , I hope you can be blunt, but if something is created out of nothing and people use it to harm my Great Xia, this king will never tolerate it!"

"Follow your orders!"

All the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty knelt down, showing their majesty for a while.
