Ning Xiaochuan, who was far away in the Northern Barbarians, would never have thought that a major event happened in Yindu just over two months after he left Yindu. Prime Minister Wen Zhe was impeached on the grounds that he used his power to seek personal gain and dominated the court.

On the morning court that day, a Huangmen Minister named Yan Chuliang impeached Prime Minister Wen Zhe with a large number of charges. The six ministers next to him were stunned. Although they knew that Wen Zhe was about to fall, no one expected that

This day actually came so fast.

Faced with Yan Chuliang's impeachment, Wen Zhe held his hands behind him, his expression remained unchanged, and the young scholar seemed to think he had won, and he spoke more unscrupulously, saying Wen Zhe as a useless person.

A treacherous villain who only knows about personal gain.

If there are still traces of impeachment in the previous period, then Yan Chuliang's next words would be made out of nothing.

Who is Wen Zhe? How could you, a little yellow minister, know that the successor who could be named by Guan Zhongxian would be the kind of villain who mislead the country? If Wen Zhe had not used iron-blooded means to rectify the court, now Gao Yuan

How can you sit firmly on the throne?

"Bang."

Meng Yan, the Minister of Personnel who had been beside him, could not bear to listen, and pointed directly at the nose of the Huangmen Minister and said, "How dare you swear by a slander? The Prime Minister is an official appointed by the court. Without any evidence, how can you be so humiliated?

”

Ning Feng, as the minister of the new policy, also frowned. He still knew Yan Chuliang's character. As soon as Yan Chuliang spoke, Ning Feng knew that what this person said today was definitely not like what he said for the world.

, for the sake of the people, it is entirely for itself, trying to gain a certain reputation by trampling on Prime Minister Wen Zhe.

Even if the impeachment fails, his name Yan Chuliang will be well-known to the world.

"Meng Shangshu, as the saying goes, "Don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door. I dare to ask Prime Minister Wen, do you dare to swear in front of all the civil and military officials of the court that never did these things. If the Prime Minister makes this poisonous oath, then even if the subordinates are being

There is no other word for beheading and execution." Yan Chuliang shouted shamelessly.

After this voice continued, the court was in full swing.

Let Cheng swear in front of the civil and military officials? What a joke, let’s not talk about the problem of the poison oath itself. If Wen Zhe made this oath today, it would be really disgraceful and his majesty would not be there.

The dignified prime minister was forced to swear in the Palace of Supreme Harmony by a small yellow-sect minister. If this is spread, the prime minister Wen Zhe will be the end. Even if Gao Yuan asked him to continue to stay in Yindu, he would have no shame to keep it anymore.

.

This behavior is like a rascal who is pestering a wealthy young master of wealthy family and asking the rich young master to shine his shoes. Whether the rich young master agrees or not is irrelevant to the rascal.

But for that young master, if he promised, he would be disgraced. If he didn't agree to the spread, he would say that your rich young master actually wanted to polish his shoes to a gangster. Even if he refused, so what? What people care about is not the result, but the gimmick.

Meng Yan's old face turned red with anger and shouted, "Zhu Zi, why do you make the prime minister swear here? In my grand ceremony, we will argue whether a person is innocent and when will he have the rule of swearing?"

Ning Feng, who had been silent, looked up at Wen Zhe silently, and saw that Wen Zhe, who had been silent, walked two steps to the side and just walked to the center of the Supreme Hall. At this time, Gao Yuan was also looking at him curiously.

Wen Zhe was depressed. Could it be that Wen Zhe really wanted to swear?

After Wen Zhe left the list, the whole court was silent for a moment, and everyone's eyes were gathered on the prime minister.

Wen Zhe took a deep breath, bowed his hand, looked at Gao Yuan calmly, and said a sentence that shocked the court, "Your Majesty, the old minister begged for bones."

"What? Prime Minister..." Gao Yuan was shocked after hearing this and stood up directly from the dragon throne, looking at Wen Zhe with an incredible look on his face. After a long time of stunnedness, he said, "Prime Minister, you are...

”

Wen Zhe showed a long-lost smile, slowly took off the official hat on his head, looked at the red silk brocade octagonal hat with reluctance, and finally placed it on the ground.

A little silver thread had appeared on the head of the prime minister who had just passed his forties. Wen Zhe bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the old minister is talented and knowledgeable. The ability to achieve the position of prime minister depends entirely on the old prime minister's respect and the cultivation of the late emperor.

Now that I am a peddler in the court, how can the old minister take the position of prime minister with an old face? Those who are capable of this position will be in charge, and those who are both virtuous and talented will be in charge. The old minister is ashamed of this position, so please understand your Majesty.”

"Prime Minister Wen..." All the officials present spoke in shock. Yan Chuliang, who had just impeached Wen Zhe, stood in the center of the Hall of Supreme Harmony like a clown, at a loss.

"Prime Minister, please think twice..." Gao Yuan said with a deep eyebrows.

Wen Zhe breathed a sigh of relief and said slowly, "The old minister has no achievements and no achievements. I hope Your Majesty will agree to the old minister's resignation and return home to live a life of his life."

Gao Yuan looked at Wen Zhe and felt inexplicably moved. If Wen Zhe left again, there would be not many old ministers in the whole court. Although the alternation of new and old is the law of heaven and earth, when this day really came, he was still somewhat emotional and helpless.

"Since the Prime Minister has already thought about it, I will not keep you..."

Gao Yuan clenched his right fist and said with red eyes, "Come here, I will reward Prime Minister Wen Zhe with 10,000 taels of silver, 100 taels of gold, 500 pieces of brocade, and a title of Changlin Marquis, a fief of thousands of households, and a dispatch of Imperial Guards to escort back home."

"Old Chen thanked the Lord for your kindness." Wen Zhe's eyes were red and he knelt down to thank him.

"Oh..." Gao Yuan sighed helplessly over his back.

Wen Zhe stood up and wiped his tears. He stood proudly in the court, with his hands behind him, walking outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony. At this time, outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the sun shone brightly and the sky was clear.

.

He is like the strong pine standing on the desolate earth, standing vigorously in the snow in winter and standing green in the wilderness in summer; under his tall figure is his unyielding pride.

Seeing Wen Zhe walking straight, Yan Chuliang unconsciously retreated to the side. Compared to Wen Zhe, Yan Chuliang seemed extremely ridiculous. If Wen Zhe was like a pineapple, then he would not even be as good as the dogtail grass on the ground.

Wen Zhe, who left the Palace of Supreme Harmony, felt the summer sunshine and felt in a good mood. He finally took off all the burdens he had, and could complete the regret that he had always done but had no chance to complete.

"Hahaha, clouds, winds, sprints, suddens, pleasures, comforts, and at will..." The old prime minister Wen Zhe chanted happily outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

From beginning to end, Wen Zhe never saw Yan Chuliang. Yan Chuliang was still thinking about stepping on Wen Zhe to gain reputation. These stealing chickens did not lose a lot of rice, but instead made Wen Zhe retreat bravely and succeeded in retreating.

.

In August of the first year of Yongxi of Dafeng, Prime Minister Wen Zhe resigned and returned home, shocking the government and the country.

...

Three days later, Wen Mansion in Yindu.

There were not many servants in the mansion in total. When other officials resigned and returned home, they would hold a big banquet. Thanks to the officials in the court. Those who were almost not popular were almost no official titles. No matter how bad they were, they would hold a family banquet at home and have some drinks.

However, there is no one to see you off from Wen Zhe since he resigned from his post to now, which is really rare in ancient and modern times, and Wen Zhe is also the first person.

The wife in the yard is dismissing her retainers. Mrs. Wen's father is the famous Prime Minister Cui Yi and Cui. She thought she would be prosperous and prosperous for the rest of her life. Even if she was old and lost, she would still be a Prime Minister's wife, so it would not be embarrassing to tell her about it;

This dream has not been done for a few days before I woke up.

The old lady looked at the arduous courtyard with red eyes and comforted the servants at home. When the last servant left, she and Wen Zhe were left in the whole courtyard.

Wen Zhe sat alone on a chair in the living room, silently looking at the four big words "Jingxin for the Country" hanging in the middle hall. He still remembered that this was the wedding gift given to him by his father-in-law Prime Minister Cui after he got married.

After doing so much over the years, he is worthy of these four words.

Mrs. Wen wiped her tears and came to the door of the living room, stopped her tears and said, "The Imperial Guard will arrive soon. We should leave. If you can't bear to leave, take it with you."

Wen Zhe breathed a sigh of relief, "I won't bring it anymore. Since I want to give it up, I'll give it up clean."

He got up and dressed up, looked at his wife, and smiled softly, "Follow me to make you wronged. After twenty years, he ended up as a rural girl."

The old lady's tears fell down, then wiped off her tears and choked, "Don't say so much, twenty years have passed, as long as you no longer blame me, even if you go out to beg for me, I will do it.

”

Wen Zhe looked at the woman with wrinkles on her face and took her into her arms, "Twenty years have passed. I, Wen Zhe, used to be very angry and helpless, but now everything has passed. Maybe this is me

My destiny will be rewarded in the end, and this is my retribution for Wen Zhe.”

The woman who was held in her arms cried and shook her head and said, "No, it's not your fault, it's all my fault, it's all my fault, if I didn't bother my father to marry you, you wouldn't have abandoned Miss Liu,

I will not become the Jade-faced Shangshu who everyone despises. It’s all my fault, it’s me who ruined you..."

Wen Zhe hugged the woman tightly, his eyes were red, "Stop talking, stop talking..."

The couple hugged each other and cried. Looking at the packed luggage in front of them, Wen Zhe said softly, "Madam, before leaving Yindu, I want to see her, okay?"

If I don’t go this time, I may not have a chance in my life. I owe her a sorry, twenty years have passed, and it’s time to say it out.”

The woman nodded and sobbed, "I...I want to go with you, after all, it's all because of me..."

Wen Zhe nodded and reached out to wipe away the tears from his wife's eyes, "She will forgive you..."

Twenty years have passed, and the talented and beautiful woman on the banks of the Fu River has long been submerged in the river of history. All that is left is an official who is about to resign and a deposed person and return to his hometown and an old one standing by the Fu River.
