Chapter 602
There are too many people congratulating each other, and both the young couple are very tired.
Su Caier has never been so formal, and has hosted so many female relatives from the families of upright officials and nobles.
Until he saw off all the guests at home, Zhao Ce felt a little overwhelmed.
On the contrary, his little wife still looked full of energy.
Zhao Ce took her and sat down, pinched her hand: "Are you tired?"
Su Caier didn't feel tired at all, and even took the initiative to turn around and pinch Zhao Ce's shoulders.
"My husband looks a little tired."
Zhao Ce enjoyed her thoughtfulness, squinted his eyes slightly, and said "yes".
"These relationships are indeed a bit tiring."
When Su Caier heard him say he was tired, she suddenly became even more excited.
After pinching, she said, "Husband, today's imperial edict is much longer than in the past?"
The previous imperial edicts were not very much.
Today, half a person is long.
Zhao Ce held her hand and smiled: "After all, it is the imperial edict of the two of us who are jointly entrustment, which is much more valuable than the previous ones."
"If we return home in the future, we have to bring this imperial edict back, carved it with a stone tablet and worship it in the ancestral hall."
"It must be so grand..."
When Su Caier thought of such a grand scene, the kneading force became much smaller unconsciously.
Zhao Ce didn't need her to pinch her anymore and pulled her into his arms and sat down.
Su Caier was happy to think that when she returned home, her husband's name would be engraved next to her stone tablet, and she felt a little unbelievable for a moment.
Her name will also be carved on the stone tablet.
And it's with your husband.
Suddenly, she remembered the contents of the imperial edict and hurriedly grabbed Zhao Ce and continued to ask.
"Husband, the imperial edict says that I have a salary and will have court patrols."
"Just, is it the same as your husband?"
The wife of the imperial decree also has a salary, although not much, but it is also a kind of honor.
Zhao Ce quipped her scattered hair with amusement and said affirmatively: "Yes, my Caier will be able to receive the salary paid by the court every month in the future."
When Su Caier heard this, she moved around happily in his arms.
"Salary..."
Su Caier took Zhao Ce's hand and shook it happily, saying, "The salary I receive will be given to my husband in the future."
Zhao Ce also said: "Well, then I will give all the salary I receive to Cai'er."
The two of them were childish and didn't feel stupid.
However, the result of being too happy during the day was that Su Caier was a little confused during dinner.
She is pregnant with a child, so she doesn't have enough energy.
I was busy all day today and was too excited.
I barely ate a few bites of food and drank a few bites of soup in the evening.
Zhao Ce asked her to go back to her room to rest.
When Zhao Ce washed and returned to the room, the quilt on the bed bulged slightly.
The charcoal fire in the room was a bit strong, and Su Caier on the bed turned over and stretched her foot over the quilt and put it on.
Zhao Ce took a look and felt that his calf seemed to be swollen.
He walked over and pinched it gently, and found that he was really edema because he had been standing and walking for a long time.
Zhao Ce gently pinched her legs.
After pinching this, I changed another one.
Su Caier slept like a piglet. When she changed her feet, she only hummed twice and fell asleep again.
Zhao Ce reached out and scraped her nose, and whispered: "I slept like a pig."
The answer to him was Su Caier's little mouth that had slapped her twice.
Zhao Ce washed his hands and wiped it dry, and went to bed to hug his fragrant and soft little wife, and soon fell asleep.
......
The day after holding a wedding at Zhao Ce’s house.
Emperor Hongzhi in the warm cabinet looked at Liu Daxia, the Minister of War, whom he had not seen for a while, and invited him to sit down with joy.
He asked gently, "Shangshu Liu entered the palace today, and is he in good health?"
Liu Daxia lowered her eyebrows and eyes slightly, and she could not see too many expressions on her old face.
"Thank you for your concern."
After a pause, Liu Daxia said directly: "I am here to resign from Your Majesty today."
"Resign?" Emperor Hongzhi did not seem surprised, and only said: "Mr. Liu has a heavy responsibility, so why did he suddenly resign?"
Liu Daxia said: "I am old and sick. Now that the country and the people are poor and wealthy, it is time for the ban on the sea. If there is an accident in one area, the responsibility lies with the Ministry of War."
"After estimating, I feel that I am really unable to do so, so I will come to resign from Your Majesty today."
This is not the first time that Liu Daxia has come to see Emperor Hongzhi to resign.
He was old and weak, and he was sick all over.
I was already unable to do anything when I went to court a few years ago.
Now that the sea ban is being lifted, he and his subordinates keep writing letters to object.
On the table behind Emperor Hongzhi, the thick stack of memorials were all sent by their people.
However, His Majesty turned a blind eye to their opinions and firmly continued the process of opening the sea.
Since Your Majesty turned a blind eye to his opinions, he, as the Minister of War, would rather give it to someone who is capable.
It just so happened that he could also retreat and return home to enjoy his old age.
Emperor Hongzhi looked at the old minister who had helped him fight for most of his life, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
"Liu Gongxianliang, since he took office, has been working hard for the country's military and civilians."
"Many old systems of the Ministry of War were expelled one by one by Mr. Liu."
"For this, I offended many powerful people."
"At this time, the country is in an internal turmoil, and I am weak. Please continue to help me solve my problems."
These days, Emperor Hongzhi was able to suppress those opposing memorials.
If Liu Daxia was let go at this time, I am afraid that the opposition would be completely unstoppable.
Moreover, since Liu Daxia was appointed as the Minister of War, he has made great achievements in various reforms to the border.
He has a very high prestige among the military and civilians, and he will definitely not find a more suitable candidate for a while.
Over the past few years, Emperor Hongzhi has also become more and more trusting in him.
It is impossible for him to let Liu Daxia resign now, both public and private.
Liu Daxia was silent for a while before bowing, "Your Majesty, I have repeatedly stated the harm of opening the sea, but I have all been beaten back by Your Majesty."
"I'm afraid that my current thoughts can no longer keep up with what Your Majesty thinks."
"It's better to give up the position to truly capable people so that they can better relieve His Majesty's worries."
Emperor Hongzhi comforted: "You are the best candidate now."
Seeing that Liu Daxia still refused to give in, he insisted on resigning on the grounds that he was old and in poor health.
Emperor Hongzhi was not panicked either.
He received a year's request for resignation, but he couldn't count both slaps.
He will naturally stay what should be left behind.
Liu Daxia was the Minister of War and made many achievements in the country.
In order to keep him, Emperor Hongzhi didn't mind taking a step back.
He said: "You have said before that the people of the world are poor and wealthy. I want me to reduce my relatives, and I am lucky enough to grant my salary without reason."
Speaking of this, Liu Daxia raised his head and looked at Emperor Hongzhi.
Emperor Hongzhi continued, "I have been thinking about it for a long time and feel that your words are indeed reasonable."
"The salaries of not only relatives, nobles, etc. must be reduced. I am preparing to reform the salaries of royal relatives."
"All the money saved can be used for military pay expenses on the frontier."
Liu Daxia was stunned when he heard the emperor say this.
