Before Fang Zheng's shadows could find out anything, the ministers in the court were shocked by the news.
Pan Shangshu, who had been recuperating at home, suddenly submitted a resignation memorial to the emperor. He said that he was old and frail and could not bear the heavy responsibility. Eating a meal without a corpse would only harm the country and the people, so he asked the emperor for permission to resign and retire.
The ministers were shocked. Pan Shangshu suddenly proposed to retire when he was in great power. This made the ministers who were attached to him suddenly feel that the sky was falling. At least half of the ministers in the court belonged to the "Pan Party".
Since it is called "Pan Party", as the name suggests, it is of course a crony headed by Pan Shangshu.
Now the boss doesn't even say hello, he just picks up his bedroll and casually says: "I'm leaving, you can play by yourselves." What do the younger brothers think? Isn't this kidding? Just pat your butt and walk away easily.
People, what should we do? We should not be wiped out by other gangs immediately.
Then the ministers thought, could the boss just do this as a gesture? After all, many ministers have liked to do this since ancient times. Once they disagreed with the emperor on some opinions, or felt that the emperor valued others but did not.
Feeling jealous, he sourly pretended that he was old and sick, but in fact he was just waiting for the emperor to persuade him to keep him, or to praise him severely, and then the minister was so happy that he could not find fault and resigned.
He treated the official matter as if he had just farted, and never mentioned it again. At best, this is called coquettishness, at worst, this is called pretentiousness. - It doesn’t seem to be a good thing? Forget it, anyway.
That means.
The speculations of the ministers cannot be said to be unreasonable. Recently, the emperor has gradually favored young ministers, such as Fang Zheng, Feng Qiudao, etc., and has become increasingly cold to Pan Shangshu. Pan Shangshu was depressed and retired to the imperial court. Most of them were helpless.
"Never" and "ever" are two completely different mental processes. It would be fine if the emperor never noticed him from beginning to end. The sad thing is that he has been favored by the emperor for ten or twenty years, but in the end, the emperor
But he turned his head to favor others and ignored them. How could Pan Shangshu feel so good?
Of course, the ministers never expected that Lao Pan would be unhappy and the consequences would be very serious. If you don't favor me anymore, I might as well find a way to get you down. Princes, generals and ministers, would you rather be kind? Translated into vernacular, then
That's it - the emperor takes turns and comes to my house this year.
The emperor was also caught off guard by Pan Shangshu's resignation memorial. The monarch and his ministers were dealing with each other in a very strict manner. You suddenly threw your hands and said in anger that you were not going to play anymore. It's boring. How could the emperor, who is in the mood for fun, not?
Surprised?
In the Jinluan Hall, the emperor held Pan Shangshu's memorial in his hand. He was stunned for a long time, and then he smiled meaningfully and said warmly: "Although the old minister is old, his spirit is still strong. I still need the old minister to help me."
I am assisting Sheji, how can I, the old minister, talk about my old age so lightly?"
Pan Shangshu covered his mouth with his sleeves and coughed a few times. He looked as if he was about to die at any moment. He said weakly: "Your Majesty, I don't want to serve the Emperor and the Chinese Dynasty for a few more years. However, I am seriously ill and my illness is getting worse.
I am really unbearable and tired from state affairs, so I would like to ask the Emperor to allow me to retire and return to my hometown."
After patting the memorial, the emperor looked resolute: "No, no, if the old minister is still ill, you might as well take care of him at home for a while and don't have to worry about state affairs, but I cannot allow you to resign. -Old minister, you
You have made great contributions to my country. If you leave, who will I ask if there is a national problem? This matter must not be done..."
"…………"
"…………"
The monarch and his ministers were doing Tai Chi in the Jinluan Hall. It was very lively as you came and went. One was afraid of delaying state affairs and resolutely resigned, while the other was reluctant to leave an old friend and refused. It was a harmonious scene of a monarch, a sage, and a virtuous minister. Standing in the palace were
Many of the old ministers were so moved that they couldn't help but secretly wipe their tears. Who said that the emperor only favors young ministers now? Look at this situation, isn't he very kind to the old ministers?…
So many ministers in the court also joined in the fun and went out to kneel to persuade Pan Shangshu to stay. For them, Pan Shangshu was the towering tree they relied on. The so-called "the tree fell and the hozens scattered", if this tree
Of course, the hozens are happy that the tree can survive without falling. They don't have to look for other trees.
The drama of resignation had been raging in the Jinluan Palace for most of the morning, and finally died down. The result of the argument was of course that the emperor won. Pan Shangshu was so gracious that he could not refuse, so he had to agree not to resign for the time being, but handed over most of the money in his hands.
Power, you can go home and "recuperate" with peace of mind.
Inside Pan Shangshu's mansion.
Lin Qingshan secretly glanced at Pan Shangshu, who had a calm face, and licked his lips a few times, but stopped talking.
"Do you want to ask, why did I suddenly resign to the emperor?" Although Pan Shangshu closed his eyes to rest, his mind was like a mirror. He didn't discuss it with anyone before resigning, so he knew many officials who relied on him.
Many people were dissatisfied with why he didn't say hello in advance.
Lin Qingshan nodded, then remembered that Pan Shangshu had his eyes closed, and quickly said: "I really want to ask, dare to ask, sir, why did you propose to resign? Isn't this... just to scare the snake?"
Lin Qingshan thought that Pan Shangshu had made a stupid move. Everyone was happily plotting a rebellion secretly. The emperor lived in the palace and didn’t know anything. When you proposed to resign, wouldn’t this have attracted the emperor’s attention?
?What if he gets something out of it and becomes more vigilant, how can the palace drama of changing dynasties continue? It has to be over halfway!
To say that "he died before he left the army" is to put money on one's own face. In the future, history books will only write like this: "On a certain day of a certain year, a certain month, a group of stupid and rebellious officials and traitors planned to rebel. As a result, the leader
The stupid old man has a brain in his head. I don’t know why he exposed his rebellion plan in advance, and was overthrown by the emperor before he even launched an army, and so on..."
Lin Qingshan felt that if he only got a few comments in the history books, he might as well go out and surrender immediately, and at least get the praise of "the prodigal son turned back".
Pan Shangshu opened his eyes and looked at Lin Qingshan for a moment, then closed them again and said calmly: "Qingshan is worried too much. My resignation is a lie, but delegating power is true..."
Lin Qingshan frowned and thought for a while, and then suddenly realized, yes! Instead of alerting the enemy, the boss's move made the emperor relax his vigilance. Just imagine, a "heavily ill" veteran gave up most of his power in order to recuperate.
, how much more vigilant can the emperor be to him? The power has been handed over, why does the emperor still care about him?
Then Lin Qingshan hesitated and said: "...But, Sir, if you hand over your power, will the officials who are dependent on us still listen to you? After all, the world is indifferent..."
Pan Shangshu opened his eyes and smiled proudly: "Whether I resign from my post or hand over my power, I am still the chief minister who dominates the court, and I am the official minister who orders the ministers and officials! Who is this?
It cannot be replaced! Neither can the Emperor!"
--------------------------
Poker.
Fang Zheng’s other courtyard.
Yanran's breathing was still a little panting, she leaned softly on Fang Zheng's shoulder, and her white jade-like flawless pink arms hung loosely around Fang Zheng's neck. The bed was already a mess, and neither of them tried to clean it up.
"Husband, you haven't come to see me for so long. Could it be that you have forgotten me?" The resentful voice was full of laziness, soft and pleasant to the ear.
Fang Zheng said in a deep voice: "Don't mention it. Recently, the emperor has sent me another errand. I'm so busy that I can't even touch the ground. Oh, it's annoying!"
Feeling a pair of soft hands gently rubbing her temples, Yanran said softly: "To be used by the emperor, many ministers have asked for it, but you are still troubled. You really don't know how to be blessed... Husband, don't worry, Yanran knows how to measure.
Yes, if you don’t come to see me for a long time, I won’t blame you…”….
Fang Zheng was moved and held Yanran's little hand: "You are the best. You are not like that heartless girl from Changping. She doesn't think about anything but playing around all day long. My husband, I have worked so hard, and she didn't come to express my condolences."
…”
Yanran smiled and said: "Husband, don't say that. Who said that Princess Changping is heartless? She... came to see me the day before yesterday..."
"Ah?" Fang Zheng was shocked: "She came here to see you?"
Seeing Yanran nodding, Fang Zheng's face darkened: "Did she make things difficult for you?"
With Chang Ping's temperament, it is really possible for her to do this. As a golden princess, she has an arrogant personality. She leads a group of women's soldiers through the city with their nostrils turned to the sky all day long, fearing that the world will not be chaotic. Now she has achieved her wish and is about to become
He is his wife. According to her personality, she will probably show off her power in front of Yanran, Xiaolu, and Sister Feng. Unfortunately, Chang Ping is not allowed to enter the palace at this time, otherwise Fang Zheng really wants to arrest her and question her carefully.
ask.
"She didn't attack you?" Fang Zheng asked worriedly. It's not that he is biased against Changping. Fang Zheng himself likes lively girls, but... Changping is too lively and irritable. It's hard to guarantee Changping's safety.
Will he fight Yanran violently?
Unexpectedly, Yan Ran was unhappy when she heard this: "How can your husband say that? Her Royal Highness the Princess is very kind to me, and she also gave me a lot of silks, satins and jewelry. Her Royal Highness the Princess said that as long as her husband becomes her
Dear, she...she will find a way to persuade...to persuade her father-in-law and mother-in-law to let Yanran enter the Fang family's door and become the Fang family's daughter-in-law..."
No wonder Yan Ran didn't respond to the news that Fang Zheng was about to get married to the princess. After a long time of quarrel, the two women had already started plotting behind the scenes. Anyway, it was just one first and one last, so there was no need to be jealous.
Fang Zheng couldn't help but look at Chang Ping with admiration. This girl seemed heartless and made trouble all day long, but he had to admit that she was quite fond of him. This is what the so-called "love the house and the bird" means. It seems that in the future
There should be no fire in my backyard. I have to go to the palace tomorrow to see her, um, look for something in her clothes as a reward.
The couple hugged each other and talked about love, and Fang Zheng felt surprisingly calm and satisfied. Is this how the couple lived? Most of the time, it was ordinary, with a little passion every day, or occasionally a small quarrel, and a cold war for a few days.
Then he pretended to be nonchalant and exchanged a few words, giving both parties a step down. In exchange for a few cute pink fists from the little wife, everything was back together as before...
This is called life.
"Husband, the business of those young men you bought is quite good now." Yan Ran leaned comfortably in Fang Zheng's arms and laughed softly.
"Well, this shows that your husband and I are discerning. Have you read the account books carefully? You have to keep an eye on it, don't let the people below do tricks on the account books." When money was mentioned, Fang Zheng became sleepy.
His eyes suddenly lit up. Young Master Fang's sensitivity to money rivaled that of Grandet.
Yanran smiled tenderly and said: "Husband, don't worry, I can still do a good job in this little thing."
Fang Zheng remembered the last investigation in Nuanchun Pavilion and said to Yanran: "Qing actually has a lot of information worth noting. Tell the people below to be careful. No matter what you do, keep your ears high and tell them.
, if the information obtained is valuable, I will reward you, young master."
Yanran asked curiously: "Husband, what do you want information for?"
Fang Zheng sighed: "Recently, the emperor sent me a new mission. Alas, Yanran, your husband and I are going to be a spy, and I am also the leader of the spy..."
Yan Ran wondered: "What is a 'secret agent'?"
"It's just fine work, or spies. Of course, it's not entirely true. In fact, it might be more appropriate to call it special forces or reconnaissance brigade. Anyway, we often do some sneaky things..."
"So, you are responsible for instructing them to do some sneaky things?" Yanran is very smart and can tell the truth...
Fang Zheng wanted to deny it, but when he thought about it carefully, he realized that it was really the case. Others were kings and hegemons in time travel, but if they didn't have enough fun, they would just become an emperor. How could it be that when it was his turn, he was just a cunning spy leader?
With a grimace on his face, Fang Zheng grabbed Yanran's little hand and said, "Thousands of years from now, your husband and I may be infamous in the history books. Will you dislike me?"
Yanran smiled slightly and looked at Fang Zheng tenderly, her eyes full of affection and determination: "I don't care about that. I only know that you are my God and my support. Even if you are a traitor and traitor that everyone reviles, I
I will always stand with you. Even if your husband is in disgrace for thousands of years in the future, I will be by your side for eternity! People around me will scold you if they want. How could they know that my husband is an upright man?"
Yanran is just a woman, and she doesn’t have much thoughts about her family, country, and world. She was sold as a prostitute and suffered a lot since she was a child. This also caused her to appear to be as docile as water, but in fact she is extremely stubborn in her heart. She only knows who is good to her, and she
No matter who she treats better, even if that person asks her to kill someone, she will stab him without hesitation, let alone a little reputation behind him.
Fang Zheng was greatly moved and hugged Yanran tightly into his arms: "Good wife,... let's do it again! Let you see what it means to truly stand upright..."
"Ah! I'm dying..."
"...This should only be said by a man?"
…………
…………
After a long time.
"You, can't you change your lustful habits?" Yan Ran gasped rapidly, her pretty face had the afterglow of sexual intercourse, which was really moving.
"That won't work. A long time ago, there was a person named Dongfang Bubai. He also had this problem, but she got over it later. But he (she) is my negative example..."
---------The following does not count as money----------
It was relatively early today, and there was a notice on the notice board under my house: the power and water would be cut off at eight o'clock, so I quickly posted it before it stopped.
So what, vote, monthly recommendation vote, don’t forget to vote, thank you!
