Chapter 974

After thinking hard for a long time, he still couldn't find a suitable candidate. Zhu Guangting couldn't help but stomp his feet and complain. "In fact, the most suitable candidate is to support him, but unfortunately he was also led by the bastard Wang Wushan..."

"Huh..." After hearing Zhu Guangting's complaint, Liu Zhi frowned slightly, and his eyes lit up and let out a light eh.

"What, did you think of some good plans?" Zhu Guangting quickly asked when he saw Liu Zhi's appearance.

"We only considered the people who were familiar with us among the old party, but we just forgot that there were still a group of people among the old party..." Liu Zhi raised his head and said to Zhu Guangting.

Zhu Guangting was stunned for a moment, then he understood what Liu Zhi said, and immediately shook his head faster than the splatter. "No, no, we finally excluded the Shu Party. How can we resign ourselves and let them return to the circle of power?"

"These people from Zishu Party, one or two, have a high opinion of themselves. Like that Su Dongpo, when they meet the benefits of the party, it seems that they are the only people who are worried about the country and the people." Zhu Guangting said with a painful expression.

"But now everyone around us is in the vital position. Can you just watch this position be handed over to the new party?" Liu Zhi couldn't help but sigh and spread his hands and asked.

Now, Zhu Guangting couldn't help but speak silent again. Liu Zhi's words were reasonable. If the position of priest of the Imperial College was handed over to the New Party, wouldn't it mean that he picked up a long knife and delivered it to the New Party?

Although those people in the Shu Party only listened to Su Dongpo's words, at least, to a considerable extent, still belonged to the old party faction.

But the nature of these people is really helpless.

"The Shu Party is also all arrogant and arrogant. Brother Yu has a choice here. I wonder if you like it?" Seeing Zhu Guangting's appearance, Liu Zhi, who knew that he had convinced the other party, then he stroked his long beard and said slowly.

"who?"

"The Taixue Zheng Li Gefei..."

"He?" Zhu Guangting jumped up from the couch, with a dog-like expression on his face, and stared at Liu Zhi in a daze.

"Brother Yu knows the grudge between you and Wang Wushan. Now that you are old, it has a great relationship with Wang Wushan. But the problem is that Li Gefei is a very good candidate."

"He is a man named Li Gefei, but he has always been honest and upright. He is a rare gentleman. He has never argued with others based on his personal likes and dislikes. In addition, he is still the father-in-law of Wang Yang Wang Wushan. If you recommend him to Your Majesty, your Majesty will most likely not object. This is the biggest key."

"Your Majesty has always been very favored by Wang Yang and Wang Wushan. Now, let Li Gefei become the Imperial College Priest, this..." Zhu Guangting said unwillingly.

"Li Gefei is a well-educated man and is not good at court disputes. He is obsessed with the way of studying. It is very appropriate for him to take on the position of priest priest in the Imperial College. What is important is that Wang Yang has made many new contributions in the border area of ​​Shaanxi. His Majesty intends to commend him several times, but he is obstructed by us..."

"If you recommend Li Gefei, it is not only showing your sincerity as Your Majesty, but also representing that my old party shows goodwill to Your Majesty. Do you understand?"

Seeing Liu Zhi's serious face, Zhu Guangting couldn't help but sit down on the couch in dejectedly, showing a bitter smile. "Isn't there anyone else to choose? Are there several good officials in the Shu Party?"

"Yes, there are, but some of them are either too far from the center, or they are lacking in qualifications and prestige..."

Zhu Guangting nodded helplessly. "Since brother Tai thinks that Li Gefei is the most suitable candidate, then I will recommend him to Your Majesty. It is also the last thing Zhu left the court and did for my old party group..."

"As a laborious brother, I have endured humiliation and bear the burden. I will remember your kindness in my heart." Liu Zhi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, quickly stood up, bowed deeply to Zhu Guangting, and said sincerely.

After Liu Zhi, who had obtained the answer he wanted, left, Zhu Guangting, who had been sitting in the room for a long time, asked someone to get wine and food, drinking alone, drinking alone until the sky was white.

A few days later, the emperor received two more memorials from Zhu Guangting, and finally announced that Zhu Guangting would enter the court and see him carefully.

When everyone saw Zhu Guangting again, they couldn't help but look surprised. Only ten days had passed. Zhu Guangting, who was less than sixty years old, seemed to be ten years old. His temples, which were originally mixed with silver threads, were already gray.

"Old me, please see Your Majesty..." Zhu Guangting ignored the court officials' surprise and astonished expressions. He first arrived at the imperial stairs and politely said.

"Zhu Qing is not polite. Didn't I let you rest well in the mansion? Why do you look more and more today..." Zhao Xu frowned slightly and asked.

"I have reported to Your Majesty. I have been staying in my door and I have been trying to rest for peace of mind, but unfortunately I have not received any news from Your Majesty that I have been praying for my retirement, so I tossed and turned every day..."

Hearing this guy's words made many civil and military officials unable to help but secretly scold him in his heart for being a typical flatterer.

Of course, Zhao Xu doesn't have to worry about what others feel, but Zhu Guangting's words made Zhao Xu quite satisfied. Regardless of whether it was true or not, at least this was a perfect excuse.

"I didn't expect that Mr. Zhu insisted on doing this. Since your family has decided to leave, it seems that even if I force me to stay in the court, I am afraid that I will not have the intention to manage the affairs. It would be better to let you go, so that you can enjoy the joy of family fun with your grandchildren. Your memorial for retirement, I, are approved..."

"I, thank your Majesty for your kindness..." After hearing the words I allowed you to retire, even though I had been mentally prepared, Zhu Guangting still felt a sense of sadness and desolation in his heart, but fortunately, he fell to the ground and concealed his expression.

"Your family has worked hard and made great contributions to me in the Song Dynasty. Since I have decided to leave today, I naturally have to express my feelings. What else do you have to leave for me?" Zhao Xu continued to say according to the past routine. Well... This is when the minister resigns, he can make a request. As long as it is not excessive, the emperor will generally agree.

After all, this is also a way of expressing the meaning of the ruler and the subject.

Zhu Guangting, who was lying on the ground, stood up and bowed to the emperor Zhao Xu again and replied. "I am already afraid to surrender to Your Majesty because of my own selfishness. I am already afraid that I will make any requests. However, if I leave like this, I will probably make Your Majesty worry about the position of the Imperial College. Therefore, I want to recommend a person with both virtue and talent to Your Majesty..."
