Yang Daolin came out of Yang Daosi's courtyard and saw at a glance, at an intersection not far ahead, Yang Binglin was standing there quietly, with a look of confusion and a hint of desolation on his face. As he walked forward, he saw Yang Daosi's residence.

, to the right is Yang Daolin's residence.

"Binglin, why are you standing here?"

Yang Daolin stepped forward and asked aloud.

Yang Binglin murmured to himself: "I can't find the way."

"Your father hasn't been very well lately. If you need anything, you can come to me."

Yang Binglin nodded silently: "Father is really tired and should rest more."

Yang Daolin sighed secretly, stepped forward and patted Yang Binglin on the shoulder, and walked away.

Turning his head and looking at Yang Daolin's leaving figure, Yang Binglin clenched his fists and an inexplicable color appeared in his eyes.

"Sixth brother, come and sit with me?"

Yang Youan didn't know when he was approaching.

Yang Binglin remained silent and silently glanced at the door in front of him. When he passed there, he could see his father, Yang Daosi, but...what could he do if he saw him? With a shake of his head, Yang Binglin turned around and strode away.

Imperial City.

In a pavilion in the imperial garden, Zhao Zhi is sitting there, drinking tea leisurely. Next to him, a palace maid is playing the piano. In recent days, there have not been many things. Zhao Zhi has been doing some insignificant things and memorials.

I recommended it to the Political Affairs Hall, so I rarely had time to relax and go to the Imperial Garden to listen to music and drink tea.

A eunuch came over in a low voice, came up to Duke Mu, and whispered a few words. Duke Mu nodded and glanced at Zhao Zhi, but said nothing.

"Your Majesty, Mr. You Mingyuanyou, the left servant of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, has arrived."

Zhao Zhi closed his eyes and listened to the music quietly. How could Duke Mu dare to disturb him at this time? He stood aside quietly and waited for a long time. The sound of the piano paused. Zhao Zhi opened his eyes again and picked up the tea cup to drink water. At this time, Duke Mu

Come forward and report.

Zhao Zhi took a sip of tea and nodded.

Duke Mu waved his hand to the eunuch on the side, motioning for him to go down and deliver the message, and then glanced at the palace maid on the side, who quickly stood up, hugged Qin and left.

After a while, You Mingyuan slowly walked into the Imperial Garden.

"Weak minister, please see Your Majesty."

You Mingyuan bowed and bowed.

Zhao Zhi waved his hand: "Please sit down."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The eunuch moved a low stool for You Mingyuan to sit down. Zhao Zhi chuckled and said, "I thought you would have a bitter face when you saw me, but now it seems that I have overthought it."

You Mingyuan said seriously: "Your Majesty, you are worrying too much. I am not that stingy."

Zhao Zhi smiled softly. From You Mingyuan's words, he could tell that he had resigned from his position as Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Civil Affairs for no reason. You Mingyuan was still a little unconvinced in his heart.

"I heard that your daughter has returned to Fengjing from Longyou. Is she okay?"

"Everything is well, Your Majesty, I miss you."

The two had a small talk.

Three days ago, without any warning, Zhao Zhi issued an edict to the Political Affairs Hall, which was approved to remove You Mingyuan from the position of Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. You Mingyuan was puzzled that he was in the position of Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

Although it has been a few years, I have never made any mistakes. I am always careful and fair in my work. I put my country before my family and do not seek personal gain. I am even more loyal to the emperor and I have not offended anyone. How come my official position suddenly changed?

What if the emperor just says so?

You Mingyuan was depressed at home. Today, the eunuch from the palace suddenly visited to convey Zhao Zhi's oral instructions and announce his entry into the palace.

"I wonder why Your Majesty Xuanchen came here?"

You Mingyuan's mood at this time was undoubtedly one of frustration and anticipation. A few days after he was dismissed from office, Zhao Zhi immediately summoned him. Could it be that he had other plans for him?

Zhao Zhi smiled lightly and said: "I have free time today, so I invite you to come over and talk some gossip."

You Mingyuan thought that Zhao Zhi was just evading words, but he did not expect that in the subsequent conversation, Zhao Zhi did not talk about state affairs at all, but only talked about some ordinary things. Li Xun was mentioned several times, and he was quite fond of him.

He expressed his appreciation, said many good things, and asked some questions about You Min's life in Longyou.

Zhao Zhi's abnormality made You Mingyuan unable to touch his head, and he was in a daze. In all the years they had been kings and ministers, You Mingyuan had never seen Zhao Zhi like this.

The two chatted for almost an hour when a palace maid walked slowly over. She was the palace maid from Li Yi's palace.

"Your Majesty, I would like to ask you, are you going to have dinner with her later?"

Zhao Zhi nodded, chuckled and said, "I'll be here later."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The palace maid bowed and bowed, then turned and left.

You Mingyuan stood up, bowed his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to do. Please leave."

"I love you, please do as you please."

Zhao Zhi nodded, looking at the unconcealable depression on You Mingyuan's face, a faint smile appeared on Zhao Zhi's face.

You Mingyuan was indeed in a depressed mood. When he came, he had great expectations. Who knew... the outcome of the matter would be very different from what he thought.

"Master You, please stay."

There was a shout from behind, and You Mingyuan turned around to look, only to see Mr. Shepherd chasing after him quickly.

"Mr. Mu, what else can you do?"

You Mingyuan asked politely with his hands raised.

Duke Mu said, "Your Majesty asked me to bring a message to Lord You."

Bring a message?

You Mingyuan didn't know why: "Mr. Mu, please tell me."

"If you don't serve in a certain place, why should you be a prime minister?"

After saying these words, Mu Gong bowed his hands and turned to leave.

You Mingyuan's whole body shook violently, and he felt a sudden realization. He recalled his official career in his life. He became famous as a young man, promoted by his family, and rose step by step. It was so smooth along the way. At the age of thirty-three, he became famous.

He held the position of left minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, but it was in this position that he lasted for nearly ten years without any promotion.

The position of Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Civil Affairs seems to be only one step away from the Political Hall, very close, but You Mingyuan feels that it is getting further and further away from him. After thinking about it for a while, You Mingyuan also figured out the reason.

The key point is that when he was a local official in his early years, he did not become a governor and take charge of one side. Instead, he was transferred to the central government as a prefectural Sima. Although he quickly reached the high position of left minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, if he wanted to go further, he had to join the political affairs hall as a

The qualifications and reputation of the prime minister are a bit too reluctant. Now Zhao Zhi asked Mu Gong to bring this sentence. The meaning is obvious. If you work in a local area for a few years and take charge of one side, if you can make political achievements, you may be able to become a prime minister in the future.

possible.

Thinking of this, You Mingyuan thought of the chat that Zhao Zhi had just had with him. It seemed to be some insignificant things, but who was Zhao Zhi? Even if he was free, he would never come to him.

Talking so much nonsense.

After pondering for a long time, You Mingyuan slowly understood something, and there was a wry smile on his face again. As the king of a country, Zhao Zhi, after going around such a big circle, actually...

"Master You, are you still leaving the palace?"

You Mingyuan stood silent for a long time. The eunuch standing aside reminded him impatiently that lunch time had come and he had to lead him out of the palace. He was late and he might not even have a mouthful of soup left.
