Liu Mingzhi finished reading the contents of the memorial. Although he was bowing and saluting, he could still detect the reactions of the officials around him.
Given his current state, it would be a bit exaggerated to say that he can see all directions and hear all directions, and his back is as if he has eyes. However, there is still no big problem in sensing the movements of the officials around him.
Liu Mingzhi seemed a little indifferent to the reaction of the officials and the reaction of Li Ye on the throne.
As if it was someone else who was going to retire and return home, instead of Liu Mingzhi, he acted as if the matter had nothing to do with him.
Li Ye finally came to his senses from his daze, and looked at Mr. Liu who was bowing and saluting him with a memorial in his hand, his eyes filled with confusion.
Before Liu Mingzhi went out to the expedition, he thought about many possibilities. The biggest possibility was that his uncle might want to fight for the leadership of the Northern Expedition.
However, no matter how hard he thought about it, he could not imagine that his uncle actually wanted to submit the articles of retirement and return to his hometown.
Li Ye's heart was in ups and downs all of a sudden, and he couldn't calm down for a long time. He asked himself, and he really wanted to agree to his uncle's request.
The pressure that his uncle put on him as the current emperor in the court was so great that he could hardly breathe. As long as his uncle was willing to put down his power and enjoy the rest of his life, he would give anything except the throne to make up for it.
Uncle Liu Mingzhi.
Countless gold and silver jewels, high salaries for empty-handed officials, dancers and singers in the palace, I can reward my uncle with anything as long as he asks.
But can the current court really leave uncle Liu Mingzhi?
My several imperial uncles now seem to be sensible and polite, not interested in political affairs, and appear to be greedy for pleasure.
But Li Ye knew in his heart that it was because of his uncle Liu Mingzhi, the invincible opponent who suppressed them back then, that they stayed honest.
If there is no uncle, will the uncles
In addition, my uncle brought up this matter so suddenly, and the imperial court had not drawn up the regulations on how to arrange the twenty-seven houses in the North. If I agreed to this matter, my uncle would leave the court and return home immediately, and what would happen to the twenty-seven houses in the north?
Disposal?
There will definitely be a big storm by then.
Now that the Northern Expedition is imminent, the imperial court cannot withstand any disturbances to hinder the great cause of the Northern Expedition.
Especially how the people of the world will view themselves as the current emperor.
The deeds of King Bingjian in recent years have been widely circulated among the people. Once you allow him to retire and return to his hometown, how will the civil and military officials and the people of Li regard him?
Even though my uncle asked him to retire and return to his hometown, his age is too young.
Once word spreads, no one will think that it is his uncle who is retiring and returning to his hometown. Instead, they will think that it is the emperor who forced him to leave.
An important minister in his early thirties took the initiative to retire and return to his hometown. No matter what he said, he could not stop others from thinking wildly.
When the birds are gone, the good bow is hidden; when the cunning rabbit dies, the lackeys are cooked.
Others would only think that he, the emperor, was worried about his uncle Liu Ming's high ambitions and destabilizing the emperor, so he tried every means to force him away.
In just a short moment, Li Ye thought a lot in his mind, and he thought through the pros and cons of agreeing to his uncle Liu Mingzhi's retirement and return to his hometown.
Although he was very willing to see his uncle hand over his power, Li Ye did not dare to think deeply about what kind of uproar his uncle would cause after leaving the court.
Because the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became.
It all stems from the fact that my uncle is too young and too young to be able to successfully resolve the matter of his retirement and return to his hometown. :(/
Li Ye looked at Liu Mingzhi, who was standing there motionless, with trembling corners of his mouth, with complicated and melancholy eyes.
Uncle is taking charge of his army!
This is a dilemma.
Li Ye looked at Liu Mingzhi blankly, thinking about how to speak.
Since he came to the throne, he has never encountered a more difficult problem than today.
If my uncle was the same age as Prime Minister Wei, I could have approved Liu Mingzhi's resignation at any time with a wave of his pen, but he is not that age.
Li Ye was caught in an ideological struggle between a rock and a hard place. The dumbfounded civil and military officials under the Dragon Stage also recovered from their astonishment. At this moment, they were staring at the figures of Li Ye and Young Master Liu with various thoughts.
No one dared to speak at this time, lest they get burned.
Everyone who can sit here is a fool, and they all know that the most obvious thing to do at this time is to remain silent and wait and see what happens.
If you open your mouth to speak at this time, if the issue of permission or rejection is brought to yourself, then you will really offend both parties.
Although the officials remained silent, they had their own thoughts in their hearts. They all looked thoughtfully at Li Ye, who was sitting on the throne, wanting to see how he would deal with Liu Mingzhi's request.
If even the side-by-side kings have to retreat bravely and spend the rest of their lives away from the temple, you and others should make careful plans for your future retreat.
Although many people do not have a deep friendship with Mr. Liu, and even many underachievers have never even met him, it is inevitable that one day they will have exactly the same identity as Mr. Liu.
They are all ministers of the dragon.
If Liu Mingzhi is allowed to retire and return to his hometown, they will inevitably feel sad.
All the officials remained silent and waited to see what would happen, but one person didn't think so, and instead became a little anxious and angry.
This person is Wei Yong, the left prime minister who has just been reinstated.
This old fox knows very well why he was reinstated.
Looking at Mr. Liu's figure standing motionless with his body bent over, Wei Yong fidgeted with the Chao Hut in his hand and seemed a little uneasy.
He stared closely at Mr. Liu's figure, his beard trembling from time to time, and muttering something in his mouth.
Wei Yong couldn't sit still when he looked at the scene where Young Master Liu was determined to resign and return to his hometown. In addition, the surroundings were so quiet that no one dared to make a sound.
Glancing at Li Ye, who was sitting on the dragon chair with a complex and changeable expression, Wei Yong took a deep breath and slowly stood up with his hands on the ground.
"Your Majesty, I have a report."
Li Ye, who was sitting on the dragon chair, was shocked. He hurriedly looked at Wei Yong, who was walking out slowly. There was a soothing look in his eyes. Finally, someone came to the rescue and resolved the embarrassing situation in front of him.
“That’s right! What does Mr. Wei Aiqing have to say?”
Wei Yong stopped and stood in line with Mr. Liu, holding the Chao Hut in his hand tightly and bowing in salute.
“Reporting to your majesty, I want to impeach the king of the current dynasty for harboring evil intentions and deceiving the king.”
Before Li Ye could breathe a sigh of relief, his heart suddenly rose to his throat after hearing Wei Yong's words. With twitching eyes, he looked at Wei Yong, who was standing next to Young Master Liu, and cursed in his heart.
Old man, are you here to solve my troubles, or are you adding to them?
The officials below also started to make an uproar softly, staring at the backs of Young Master Liu and Young Master Liu standing side by side with strange expressions on their faces.
It is not that King Bingjian and the Prime Minister of Wei did not have festivals in the past, and this was not a secret in the court.
But I have never heard of any deep hatred between the two.
Having evil intentions and deceiving the king, wouldn’t this lead to the death of King Bingjian?
Did the two of them have some unknown life-or-death feud in private?
Young Master Liu, who lowered his head and lowered his forehead, also trembled at the corners of his mouth. He glanced at Wei Yong vaguely and cursed.
“Old man, I’m going to knock your mother out.”
Wei Yong took advantage of Chaohu's shield and turned his head slightly to look at Mr. Liu, who was also peeking at him.
Wei Yong gave Mr. Liu a strange look, as if he wanted to say more.
Don't leave. We are now grasshoppers on a rope. Where will I be left if you leave?
The traitor has no opponent, aren't you going to push me into the pit of fire?
Young Master Liu, who was secretly glancing at Wei Yong, noticed Wei Yongde's gaze, his face froze, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and moved slightly to one side.
Damn it, what does this old guy look like?
Why is it so easy to make people tremble and tighten their anus?
However, he probably guessed what Wei Yong meant, and he nodded directly and lowered his eyebrows, not making eye contact with Wei Yong.
You think of me as an opponent who will benefit both sides if you divide them, and die if you join forces. That's your own idea, but I don't agree with it!
Do you know what I want to do? Come up here and cause trouble for me.
