Chapter 857 A hairless phoenix is ​​not as good as a chicken (please subscribe!)
...

Seeing that he could become the king of a country, but in just a few months, he became a petty official without any real power.

Such a huge gap is really hard for Ren Dejing to accept, no, it is simply unacceptable!

One day.

Ren Dejing overheard two small officials chatting and spanking.

"Guess, when will His Majesty send someone to pick up Empress Xixia into the palace?"

"I guess it's coming soon. I heard that many people are planning this matter, wanting to make this great contribution, and then become famous."

"I've also heard that it seems that the most active one belongs to our Shangshu. I also heard that he went to Anlehou Mansion once in the morning. I wonder if he was talking about it?"

"Everyone's success must have a reason. In terms of ability, our Shangshu may not be the strongest one among them, but if we think about our majesty's thoughts, there is no one who can surpass our Shangshu. It's no wonder that our Shangshu is so favored by His Majesty, even the names of the twenty heroes who founded the country were given to our Shangshu. There are so many high and middle ministers, and there are not a few capable ones, like Tang Zuocheng (Tang Ke), Li Youcheng (Li Gang), Li Shangshu (Yelu Dashi), but do the twenty heroes who founded the country have their place? Does Zhaoxun Pavilion have their place? So, we still have to learn how to be an official from our Shangshu."

"Yeah, when it comes to being an official, I'm afraid no one is better than us Shangshu...It's a pity that you and I are humble, otherwise, you can still be greedy for this great achievement, and maybe you can make a fortune in one fell swoop."

"You and I don't want to think about it. There are too many people who are thinking about this great achievement. It is impossible for you and me to turn."

"A hairless phoenix is ​​not as good as a chicken. Although the Xixia Li family has a marquis, no one knows that this is just for His Majesty to comfort the Xixia Li family. When this limelight is over, the Xixia Li family will definitely be dealt with. How can you tolerate it on the side of the couch?" Others are snoring, to put it bluntly, the Lord Xia is actually the same as the Empress Li, who has no power and power, so he has to be a man with his tail between his legs. Therefore, no matter how much he suffers, the Xixia Li family dare not speak, otherwise, wait. Theirs is the scourge of extermination, and now it is only because the Xixia Li family has just arrived in the capital not long ago, and Xixia has not yet been completely settled down. Otherwise, those who beat the autumn wind may have gone long ago. If His Majesty is happy with this great achievement, if His Majesty is happy, not to mention a big reward, maybe you can be promoted to three levels in a row."

"But this credit is not so easy to get. After all, Xixia Li has just arrived in Yanjing. There are hundreds of thousands of party members in Xixia. Everyone should pay attention to the influence. Otherwise, with the power of our minister, Xixia Li She obediently handed over the Empress of Xixia not long ago. By the way, there is also the Empress Dowager of Xixia. I heard that one of the two empress dowagers of Xixia is not yet thirty, and the other is only in her early twenties. Both of them are liked by His Majesty. age."

"Age doesn't really matter, what matters is their status. Do you see that the queen of any of our kingdoms that has been wiped out doesn't enter the palace? In short, the daughters of the royal family and the clan have to enter His Majesty's harem. In this world, only His Majesty is the orthodox. Who dares to enjoy the daughters of the royal family and the clan? Isn't this overstepping?"

"..."

"..."

Ren Dejing could tell that the two little officials were a little swollen.

in fact--

Not only these two little officials, but also many people in Dazhong are a little swollen now, thinking that Dazhong is the center of this world, is there any king in the world, and Li Yan is the first emperor in the ages, what Qin Huang Han Wu Tang Zong Song The ancestors are incomparable with Li Yan, and Dazhong is the first dynasty in the ages, even the Han and Tang Dynasties.

Of course, Dazhong and Li Yan did have this strength. In terms of land area alone, the Tang Dynasty could barely surpass Dazhong in its most prosperous period, and even the Han Dynasty was far inferior to Dazhong. Moreover, there is still a lot of room for growth in Dazhong's land area. Yue Fei in the Western Regions and Liu Qi in the Northeast are both sharpening their swords. Therefore, it will not take long for Dazhong to surpass the prosperous Tang Dynasty and become the most powerful North Korea, and all of this, it took Li Yan more than [-] years to do it.

Ren Dejing didn't care about the changes in the hearts of the Chinese people, what he cared about was the great achievements these two petty officials said.

As soon as Ren Dejing rolled his eyes, he made up his mind, and then went to Anlehou Mansion to ask for an audience.

Knowing that Ren Dejing came to see him, everyone in Anlehou's mansion was gearing up, wanting to find Ren Dejing to avenge the subjugation of the country.

But these people were all stopped by Li Renxiao——Li Renxiao just said, "Do you want to kill Li's family?", and the people in Anlehou's Mansion all withered. This is different from the past, they are no longer The Xixia royal family and clan are now ordinary people, and they need to be ordinary people with their tails between their legs. Ren De respected and hated him to the point where he even wanted to eat his flesh and drink his blood, but they still had to endure it.

Not long after, Li Renxiao sent someone to invite Ren Dejing to the hall, and then greeted Ren Dejing as if seeing an old friend: "I haven't seen you for a long time, how is Yuanwailang? Is he still used to life in Yanjing? Yes Yes, the Ministry of Rites is very busy with public duties, so why does Yuanwailang still have time to come to me?"

After Ren Dejing listened, his face twitched. How could he not understand that Li Renxiao was actually saying: "It's not right to be the prime minister of the country, and it's not right to be the king. If you insist on committing a rebellion, you deserve what you are today." end!"

Are you Ren Dejing and do you regret your previous choice?

However, the matter has come to this point, no matter how much Ren Dejing regrets it, it will be useless.

Therefore, Ren Dejing quickly squeezed out a smile, and went straight to the topic: "I came here today, I have nothing else to do, just want to send a message to my daughter, her sister misses her, let's see when she has time Go to the palace, stay in the palace for a few days, and spend time with her sister."

As soon as Ren Dejing came to give the queen mother to Li Yan, Li Renxiao's face darkened instantly, and said: "Ren Dejing, don't go too far, His Majesty once promised to protect my family's wealth for the first time, Do you dare to disobey His Majesty's orders?"

Ren Dejing said leisurely: "Naturally, this old man has no guts to disobey His Majesty's orders, but is the Marquis really sure that His Majesty's guarantee also includes the Queen of Xixia and the Queen Mother of Xixia?"

Li Renxiao's heart moved, and then he asked in a deep voice, "What do you mean?"

Ren Dejing smiled and said: "It's not interesting, I just want to remind Lord Hou that when His Majesty cut off Lord Hou's position as the Lord of Xia, did you cut off the position of Empress Xixia from the position of Queen, and did you cut off the position of the two queen mothers of Xixia?" Empress Dowager?"

After being reminded by Ren Dejing, Li Renxiao's pupils shrank immediately, and then he broke out in a cold sweat!

Ren Dejing's voice came to mind again: "When the monarch and his ministers are together, the old man will talk too much and remind Lord Hou, don't ruin the lives of Li's family because of three women."

PS: I couldn't sleep last night, and suddenly remembered one thing, that is, how old am I?

After thinking and thinking, and calculating and calculating, I realized that I am already 36.

Thinking about it again, I am already so old that I don’t even have the most basic guarantee. If something happens to me, what can I do? Moreover, I already feel that my body is not as good as before, although because of I haven't had a physical examination, and I don't know how many diseases I have, but it is right to specify that it is not completely healthy. Personally, the three highs may account for two of them (hyperlipidemia and high blood pressure). The key is that the heart is not good, so I can't say for sure The next day, he suddenly fell ill and suffered from insomnia.

I didn't sleep until four or five o'clock in the morning.

After waking up, I made an important decision, which is to apply for medical insurance. In this way, if something happens to me, there is some assurance that my family will not be wiped out because I can’t afford my medical expenses. What's more, if my family would not quarrel over whether to treat me or not, then my life would really be a tragedy.

So, today I spent a whole day (actually half a day, when I got up, it was already a little bit faster) to get medical insurance for myself.

As a result, today I only wrote one chapter of Fighting Wolves again.

I'm guilty.
