But three days after Yun Zhengting was released from prison, the imperial decree arrived.Yun Zhengting was convicted of the crime of neglect of "lax military management". His official position remained the same, but his salary was deducted for one year.This is a trivial matter, and there is no need to elaborate on it.However, a day later, another imperial decree came down, saying that although Yun Zhengting didn't know about it, the generals under his command were suspected of covering up accomplices, and the crime was unforgivable.Therefore, according to the severity of the circumstances, those who were transferred were transferred, those who were demoted were demoted, and what's more, they were sent to the army and never returned for life.For the vacant official positions, the imperial court will send other trusted generals to fill them up.As a result, all Jingzhou troops were under the control of the imperial court.Yun Zhengting had no generals to dispatch, no soldiers to transfer, he just kept the title of General Soldier of the Seven Provinces for nothing, but the military power was divided up by the new generals.This is naturally the young emperor's way of soothing people's hearts and killing two birds with one stone.It is important to know that Yunzhengting has made great contributions throughout his life as a soldier. If he does not die well in old age, it will inevitably chill the hearts of the veterans in the court. Therefore, the young emperor kept the official title of Yunzhengting and made him a "big border official" who had nothing to do when he was old.Not only took advantage of this turmoil to evade his military power, but also reassured the elders in the court.

Yun Zhengting has experienced the ups and downs of the officialdom, so how can he not know the holy will? But he used to go out early and return late every day to practice military generals, and now he is suddenly free, and his heart is hard to let go. He is extremely lost and depressed all day long.After dinner that night, Yun Zhengting got so excited that he asked Yun Chenxiao to play chess.Yun Chenxiao was thinking about talking to his father about Shui Xinyou these few days, but he was not happy, and he never found a chance.At this time, I got this good opportunity to play chess, and without any excuses, I went happily.

Yun Zhengting was busy with military affairs on weekdays, and he was even stricter and serious towards Yun Chenxiao.The father and daughter seldom interacted with each other on weekdays, and this was the first time that they played games on separate tables. Yun Chenxiao was unavoidably cautious, with fine sweat dripping from his forehead.However, Yun Zhengting has changed his previous style and has a pleasant face.Coupled with the nature of father and daughter, blood is thicker than water, and after a while, the two were talking and laughing happily.Yun Chenxiao's chess skills are not bad at all, once he let go of his hand, sometimes a surprise attack will surprise Yun Zhengting and kill him by surprise.However, Yun Zhengting was careful and thoughtful, and finally he was able to strictly defend his position, and then tried to attack.Although it is not like Yun Chenxiao's schemes and plans to attack him unprepared, but he is cautious, heavy and solid, but he does not fall behind.In the dead of night, the third watch has passed, and the game will end.The final game counts, but the two are tied.

Yun Zhengting asked someone to put away the chessboard, Nian Xu nodded and said with a smile, "Xiao'er, who did you learn how to play chess from?"

Yun Chenxiao pursed her lips lightly, raised her eyebrows, and said confidently: "Why do you need to learn from others to play chess? I have read some chess records, and then I figured it out by myself. When I have nothing to do, I also play against myself, but it's not easy. It's boring. If I had known that Daddy also likes Go, I would have come to you every day!"

Yun Zhengting put down the teacup in his hand, laughed loudly and said, "If that's the case, you're welcome as a father! I'm afraid you won't have time to accompany me, old man."

Yun Chenxiao saw that her father had a look of disbelief, so she got up and said anxiously: "Daddy doesn't believe it? Don't say that these black and white pieces are chess, Shuanglu, and Liubo. I don't know how to do it. If Daddy doesn't believe it, you can come and try it." ."

Yun Zhengting smiled and said, "Why don't you believe me as a father? My daughter is so smart, and you won all the arithmetic problems that all the scholars in Jingzhou couldn't do. It's just that you, Xiaoer, are a little clever. Hey. Hey, you think you study in private, don’t you know about your father? But seeing that you are addicted to books, my father doesn’t want to embarrass you, hey..." When Yun Zhengting said this, he suddenly let out a long sigh, Yun Chenxiao knew that he might have something to say, so she had to put Shui Xinyou's matter aside for the time being, and listened to Yun Zhengting continue, "Xiao'er, since you have read thousands of volumes, let me ask you for my father, you appreciate it the most." Who is the character in?"

Yun Chenxiao was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't expect Yun Zhengting to ask this question suddenly. After thinking about it, he seemed to have a deep meaning and said: "What my daughter admires most is the demeanor of the seven sages in the bamboo forest. Ji Shuye's last song "Guangling San" has never been heard through the ages. Liu Ling was drunk and buried after his death. How carefree. Ruan infantry drove poorly, singing long songs and crying. All of them are expressions of true temperament. Therefore, although the daughter is in the boudoir, she appreciates the Wei and Jin Dynasties very much. Contempt for vulgar manners."

Yun Zhengting pondered for a while, and said in a low voice: "It fits your rebellious nature. As a father, you admire Su Shi..."

Yun Chenxiao's eyes lit up, she almost jumped up and said joyfully, "My daughter appreciates it too, not only appreciates it, but also likes it..."

Yun Zhengting frowned and waved his hands, and said, "It's different. Xiao'er, what you admire is Su Dongpo, who is optimistic and open-minded, who lived a misty life. What you admire as a father is Su Shi, who is a simple father." I was fooled by my cleverness for a lifetime. I only hope that the child will be foolish and unruly, and come to the court without any disasters. Xiao’er, you don’t need the court, Daddy only wants you to be safe.”

Yun Chenxiao suddenly realized that her father had been around for so long, but she still wanted to talk about it, so she knelt down on the ground, lowered her head and said in a low voice, "My daughter violated the ancestral precepts, I hope my father will punish her."

Yun Zhengting shook his head and helped Yun Chenxiao up and said, "Xiao'er, how can I blame you for being a father?" He paused, his eyes suddenly showed a rare tenderness and lingering, and said slowly: "You My mother died early, and left me with a daughter like you. Although you have an elder brother, you are the only one who resembles me the most. Although I am strict with you on the surface, I actually hope that you can live a good life! Xiaoer, I'm telling you this just to let you understand the painstaking efforts of being a father. If you are a man, maybe I still hesitate, but since you are a woman, I don't have to worry anymore..."

Yun Chenxiao saw that the tenderness in his father's eyes gradually turned into a gloomy one, and felt a chill in his heart, and said softly: "Daddy, now that the Holy Grace is so great, Daddy doesn't need to worry too much."

Yun Zhengting smiled wryly and said: "Yes, Sheng En is great. Otherwise, our Yun family would lose their heads. But I don't understand. The generals sent by the emperor don't know anything about military affairs. He has no actual combat experience, and is nothing more than a yellow-haired boy who has read a few military books. If there is a real war, the princes of the feudal vassals will be strong and strong. ..."

Yun Chenxiao frowned, thought for a while and said, "Father, although I don't know anything about military affairs, I do understand one thing, which is to control and balance. Now the various forces in the world are almost the same, and each has their own considerations. There will be no war for the time being, right?" And even if it's a turmoil, it's just a vassal's civil turmoil. The world is still under the surname Xue, so what's the matter with Dad? Since the Emperor has accepted Dad's military power, he intends to ask Dad to withdraw from the government and enjoy his life."

Yun Zhengting laughed and said, "Although what you said is right on point, it's a lot wrong. Forget it, the state affairs are complicated, so let's not talk about that. Xiao'er, you are only my daughter after all, so there is no need to get involved in such a struggle." Come. Father will find you a child from an ordinary family in the future, and hope that you will spend this life safely and happily, and Father will be satisfied."

Yun Chenxiao didn't care about political affairs at all, and just echoed a few words just now. Hearing his father's relief, he took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Daddy, please forgive my daughter for being ridiculous. My daughter already has someone she likes in her heart. My daughter also I just want to spend this life with her, and there is no one else to replace me."

When Yun Zhengting heard this, he was astonished. He was stunned for a long time, and finally a gratified smile appeared on his face and said: "Well, you girl is very anxious if you don't want to stay in the university. This is also like yours. Ha, that’s fine, you don’t have to worry about your father. Then..." He seemed a bit embarrassed when he said this: "Xiaoer... well, who is your favorite? A child of which family? Oh , how about character and talent? What about appearance? He treats you..."

Hearing his father's tone, Yun Chenxiao couldn't help feeling warm in his heart, his eyes were sour, and he almost burst into tears.This heroic general galloping on the battlefield, invincible, asked about his daughter's marriage, but he was just an ordinary old father, caring about these trivial matters.

Yun Chenxiao raised his head, and suddenly felt that Yun Zhengting's thick beard was turning gray.She grieved in her heart, clenched the hem of her clothes tightly, and said in a trembling voice, "Father, she is not a member of an aristocratic family, but she is the person my daughter loves the most. She is now in Jingzhou Mansion. If Daddy wants to see her, I will How about calling her over tomorrow...?"
