Transmigrated As My Former Uncle’s Sweetheart

ile, he was unable to collect himself.

Only when the Emperor’s cool gaze descended upon him did he recover his senses, and throwing himself onto his knees, he cried out in shame, “Forgive me, Your Majesty.”

The imperial censorate official decided to press home his advantage and said to Long Yang, “Vice Minister Li has failed to raise his daughter properly.
He was well aware of his daughter’s immodest conduct, yet he neglected to discipline her and even allowed his wife and daughter to run amok.
If everyone follows suit, wouldn’t it lead to social disruption? Not only has Vice Minister Li failed as a parent, but he also failed to acknowledge and correct his faults.
I highly doubt his ability to serve the imperial court!

“A person like him is an utter disgrace to Your Majesty’s tutelage and does not deserve to be a court official.
For the sake of fairness and justice in the court, I beg Your Majesty not to let him continue to disrupt order.”

Long Yang’s expression remained deadpan as he pondered for a moment, then said, “You make a good case, but this matter isn’t as serious as you described.”

A glimmer of hope rose in Li Wei’s heart.

Maybe the Emperor was speaking up for him because he was really interested in Tong’er?

His breath hitched in his throat.

However, Long Yang’s next words sent him plunging from heaven into the depths of hell.

“The imperial court has always been a solemn place, and all court officials should lead by example.
If you can’t even keep your wife and children in check, how are you going to serve the court? Failure to observe self-discipline can easily lead to grave mistakes.
Considering the importance of court order and official conduct, I believe that you require more training, Vice Minister Li.

“From tomorrow onward, you shall move to Wuhe and take office there.
You shall start from the bottom, and when you finally learn what it means to be a responsible court official, I will transfer you back here.”

Everything went black before Li Wei’s eyes, and he almost collapsed to the floor.

Although the Emperor did not strip him of his court official status, he had demoted him.

Everyone knew that Wuhe was a rural backwater place, and sending an official from the imperial capital to take office there was no different from exiling him.

Besides, he was getting on in his years, and even if he was transferred back to the capital for outstanding political achievements, that would probably be decades later.

Li Wei was suddenly overwhelmed with remorse.

He had thought that the Emperor had fancied Tong’er, but now, it seemed that he had never been interested in her at all.

“Thank you, Your Majesty!” Swallowing the lump in his throat, Li Wei prostrated to him in gratitude.
