Hou Ye Chu saw the dumbfounded Third Lady and Chen Afu and said, "You all sit down." "I just talked about it.

It turned out that the emperor dragged his sick body to the court, and first praised how the Marquis of Chu supported the prince to defeat the second prince and the party, how he made great achievements, and how he was majestic and strategic. He also said that he beat Princess Rongzhao well, which was to teach her a lesson for the emperor. Since he is no longer a concubine, he can't be lazy, he has to contribute to the court, and he is named the governor of the right army from the first product, and the Taishi of the first product......

When Marquis Chu heard this, he was frightened. The emperor kept saying that he was highly meritorious, and the implication was that he was a master of high merit. said that he taught the princess a lesson for the emperor, which means that he has a heart of disobedience.

Not to mention that he originally thought about not being an official anymore, but he didn't think about it that way, and he didn't dare to continue to be an official when he heard the emperor's words.

Moreover, although there are three people in the DPRK and China who are holding such fictitious titles as Taishi and Taifu, none of them are really lacking, and they are all over 60 years old. There is a real shortage, and no one has yet been able to receive these two false titles. He knew that if he dared to take over these two official positions today, tomorrow the emperor would find other excuses to clean him up, and it would be dangerous for the family to be bad.

He immediately knelt down and took a hard resign. He said that he was not virtuous, and beat the princess in a fit of rage, and committed the following mistakes, which is a negative grace. Although the emperor has a big mind and does not care, he can't help but reflect on himself from time to time, a person like him is really not worthy of this great responsibility. He also said that he is in very bad health now, and he is no longer suitable to be an official in the court. Not only can he no longer be an official, but he will also pass on the title of Marquis of Yong'an to him after his son Chu Ling Xuan's rebellion returns. After that, he would go to live in the countryside for a long time, both to recuperate and to reflect on his mistakes.

The emperor was unhappy, saying that he was right to teach the princess a lesson for himself, and that he was young and strong, and he should do more things for the court, and he was not allowed to be lazy.

Marquis Chu was not only moved by the emperor's "Heavenly Dragon Grace", but also ashamed that he could not share the emperor's worries and solve problems, knelt on the ground and cried, telling the remorse in his heart, he should not live up to the grace of the saint, and he should not beat the princess. He also counted his bad legs, bad waist, and asthma, and the doctor said that if he lived in the countryside for a long time, he might be able to alleviate his condition......

The emperor couldn't, so he had to take back the real shortage and let him receive the Taishi of the first grade. Marquis Chu still didn't dare to take it, and broke his forehead.

In the end, the emperor had to tearfully retract his fate, and repeatedly said that the loss of Chu Aiqing by the court was a huge loss......

The scene of "the righteousness of the monarch and the minister" touched all the ministers in the palace, and many ministers shed tears. Qi Qi knelt down and sang, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Marquis Chu originally told the old Marquis that he would not hold any official position in the future, and even the title would be passed on to Chu Lingxuan. The old marquis obviously did not object, but he still had an extravagant hope in his heart that he did not dare to say, that is, when the emperor died, the prince would definitely reuse his son. After all, his son is only forty-four years old, just in the prime of life, and he knows his son's political ambitions best since he was a child. However, today in the court, the son said this in front of all the ministers, and even if the emperor dies in the future, it will be impossible to re-emerge.

The old man said helplessly, "Now the emperor can rest assured." He looked at his son distressedly and said, "But you are still in the prime of life, and you are going to be completely idle and recuperate." ”

Marquis Chu said with a smile, "It's okay to learn from Tao Weng, pick chrysanthemums under the east fence, and see Nanshan leisurely...... Those days are not bad. Besides, I completely retreated and let the emperor put down the mustard, and the third brother and Xuan'er would have an easier road in the future. ”

Looking at the still handsome and elegant Marquis of Chu, Chen Afu was also a little uncomfortable. The dog emperor is really lacking in virtue and coldness, just because of his little worry and doubt, he treats the courtiers who have endured humiliation and worked hard for him for many years.

The third lady said, "Uncle did the right thing. Think about the Yuan family for decades, how terrible it is. ”

When it comes to the Yuan family, the old marquis has no grievances, and Chen Afu has no grievances.

Marquis Chu smiled at Chen Afu again, "When Xuan'er comes back, I will go to the countryside after I pass on the title to him...... Fuyuan lived. He originally wanted to talk about Tangyuan, but then he thought that Tangyuan was Luo's dowry Zhuangzi, and if Luo's didn't understand him, he couldn't go there, so he changed it to Fuyuan.

Before Chen Afu could speak, Old Marquis Chu smiled and said, "With vision, Fuyuan is a good place." After such a long time, I always think of Tang Garden and Fu Yuan. When you go there, I'll go with you. ”

Five days later, Chen Afu knew how wise and wise the decision of the Marquis of Chu was to resign, and how sincere and wise the big drama of admitting mistakes was.

On the twentieth day of the winter month, Xiao Eleven and Xiao Li Xuan came to Chu Mansion again.

Xiao Shiyi secretly told Chen Afu that he heard from his mother and the royal brother that the emperor seemed to be preparing to give a woman to the Marquis of Chu. The key is that the woman is very inappropriate, and it is the third daughter of the prince of Heshuo who is the lord of the county. The lord was twenty years old and a widow. The widow doesn't matter, the relationship is that she is strong, powerful, and unusually spicy, and the man was killed by her punches when he was fighting with her.

The prince's brother and the queen mother discussed how to persuade the emperor to give up this decision. After discussing for a long time, they still decided that they could not admonish, originally the emperor felt that the crown prince had relied too much on the Marquis of Chu in the past, and if they admonished again, the emperor would be even more unhappy.

As a result, because the performance of the Marquis of Chu was too good, the emperor actually gave up the marriage gift temporarily.

Xiao Shiyi was very embarrassed, pulled Chen Afu's sleeve and whispered, "Mother-in-law, I'm sorry." You also helped me apologize to Marquis Chu, he was so kind to me and my brother, but we didn't help him. ”

Chen Afu was very moved, holding his face and smiling, "Thank you, my father-in-law and I both know that you are a good boy with affection." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Queen Mother are doing the right thing, sometimes, if you don't help, you help. ”

But in his heart, he scolded the dog emperor, it was too bad!

The drama of "the righteousness of the monarch and the minister" soon spread, and everyone praised the emperor's kindness and the loyalty of the Marquis of Chu. Only the Li family was uncomfortable and felt that the Marquis of Chu was selfish, he resigned from the official position of Zhengyipin and Congyipin, and he should find a better shortage for his son. With a big official of the first grade, for a small official of the sixth grade, the emperor still took a big advantage.

Needless to say, Chu Lingxuan accepted the knighthood when he came back, and he was a third-grade military attaché. Even her concubine Chu Lingqi became an official from the sixth rank, but her own son Chu Lingan was still a petty official from the seventh rank. If the Marquis of Chu helps, his son can at least get a six-rank official.

Li went to the second master to tell him what he thought, and asked the second master to talk to the Marquis of Chu about getting his son a six-grade official, and it would always be one level higher than that concubine.
