Chapter 157: The dust has settled, and the prince returns to Beijing

The court has its own set of operating rules. Ding Ge Lao rebelled, the West Factory was reopened, and the Qingliu faction represented by the old lady was already a serious failure, and someone must come forward to take responsibility.

It's just that there are true and false resignations, generally speaking, the resignation of an important minister like the old lady, the emperor must be retained, generally everyone just means it, you resigned last time, I put on a posture to try my best to retain, this time you have no face, I will help you make up for it, and then everyone pats their butts, what should they still do.

Only this time, the situation is very different. The old lady has been an official for 40 years, and she has stayed in the center of the cabinet for 30 years. What's more, he is over seventy years old, his life is rare for seventy years, he always feels low energy, and now he is betrayed by his important protΓ©gΓ©, and he is an in-law, the old lady is even more disheartened, and the battle between the prince and King Zhao is getting hotter, and the Yang family has been labeled as a princeling because of Yuxin, and the old lady really has no good impression of the prince...... All this finally made the old lady make up her mind to go into hiding.

Early the next morning, Chen Jia took the old lady's recital and folded it into the Xinuan Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace. He spoke ill of the old lady without a trace. The emperor had already obeyed him, but at this time he smiled and said: "You have only been with Shoufu for a short time, and I don't know that his character is also there, and the country is still absolutely indispensable to an old and serious minister like him." ”

Chen Jia was shocked when he heard this, so he had to keep silent, he felt that the emperor was kidnapped by the old lady in the name of morality from time to time, and he must have some hatred for this old man, but now it seems that he was wrong.

He didn't know that the emperor did still have a lot of feelings for the old lady. Although the emperor is a little cowardly and a little confused, he also knows that Yang Shoufu is loyal to the country and is a rare capable minister, in the defense of Beijing, although he is not as radiant as Ye Yichen, but he dispatches grain and grass in the city, handles government affairs, and is really a hero behind the scenes, all this, the emperor still understands. What's more, he has been with the old lady and the minister for nearly ten years, although the old lady often has direct admonitions, but after all these years, the emperor has already seen clearly that he is not a powerful minister who holds power and respects himself. He was willing to let the prince marry Yuxin as the crown princess, but he did not have this consideration.

So the emperor comforted him with kind words on this letter, and approved it.

At this time, hundreds of pairs of eyes up and down the court were staring at the Yang Mansion. The Yang Mansion is also panicked, the eldest wife and the second wife are so anxious, the Yang family is not the family of the lord after all, and now the old lady is sitting in the position of the first assistant, naturally he is a high power, and the scenery is infinite, but if the emperor approves the old lady's resignation, then the Yang family's Xuanhe will be regarded as the end.

This is a matter of vital interest to them, so everyone is staring at it with wide eyes. It wasn't until the emperor's reply was sent to the Yang family that everyone learned the content that they all breathed a sigh of relief.

After the old lady got into the recital, she no longer went to the cabinet office, but stayed in the Songfeng study house to study. The emperor's recital came back, and he looked at it casually, which was already in his expectation, the second recital of the resignation had been written, and he directly asked someone to hand it to the General Administration.

The next day, the emperor quickly approved it again, the country is indispensable to the boss, you should work in this nest for a few more years!

The old lady persevered, and took a third letter. Now everyone can see that the old lady is determined to resign from the office.

This time, not only the eldest wife and the second wife were anxious, but even the eldest master, the second master, and the fifth master couldn't sit still. Qi Qi knelt outside the Songfeng Study, begging the old lady to take back his life.

The emperor has already earnestly retained you twice, and you have all this face, so don't toss anymore. The second wife's reason is also very high-sounding: Brother Zu is eighteen years old, and he should have said goodbye last year, but it was just in time for the national funeral, and it has been delayed for a year. The eldest grandson of Shoufu and the eldest son of the Sanpin official, the weight here does not need to be weighed to know that the Dao is 108,000 miles away, we all know that the father of the Dao is indifferent to fame and fortune, but you should also think about the grandson! What's more, there are younger brothers and sisters behind my brother!

When the eldest lady heard this, she rarely beat the side drum on the side, and the two of them cooperated seamlessly for the first time. The old lady said indifferently: "Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, and the future is earned by themselves!" I have made up my mind, and you don't need to persuade me anymore! ”

actually drove away his son and daughter-in-law on the spot!

Since this incident, Yulan has been closed in the green quiet fast. The eldest lady came out of the old lady's Songfeng Study, and she couldn't think about it for a while, so she said to the eldest lady: "Let's ask my mother to come forward and persuade my father!" ”

The eldest man's face was embarrassed: "Mother is sick, how can she disturb her old man with this kind of thing, not to mention that according to her mother's temperament, no matter what decision her father makes, she will approve of it!" ”

The eldest lady hurriedly said, "How is this good?" ”

The eldest lord is more anxious than her, his officialdom has been up and down for more than ten years, with the help of his father, he finally got to the threshold of Sanpin, and he is only one step away from the important position of the center, if his father retires like this, how can he have a chance? It's just that he knows his father's temper very well, and the things he has decided will definitely not change, so he can only shake his head and sigh, and go to the front to discuss with his two younger brothers.

The eldest lady was really sick and rushed to the doctor. She is the niece of the Queen Mother, she has been clothed and fed since she was a child, and she is also the number one person in the social circle of the noble lady of Beijing.

After thinking about it, he went straight to Yulan's Green Jingzhai.

There was a lot of trouble ahead, and Yulan knew everything, but she was not in a hurry, and she was writing in the house leisurely. The little maid ran in and said that the eldest lady was here, and Yulan was taken aback. It is said that she has been in this world for a while, and every time the eldest lady calls her to Yiningju to talk, the eldest lady still returns to her small courtyard.

What an epoch-making moment!

Yulan hurriedly packed up the four treasures of the study, and took the maid and the maid to pick it up in person. Welcoming the eldest lady into Lu Jingzhai, the eldest lady's nose was upside down, and she suddenly smelled the ink fragrance on Yulan's body, and couldn't help complaining: "Such a big thing happened at home, why are you still writing here?" ”

Since Yulan received Ye Yichen's letter, she has become more and more grassy in her heart, and she writes to calm her mind. Hearing what the eldest lady said, she had to admit her mistake first: "What my mother taught me was that it was just a matter ahead, where could my daughter get involved?" ”

Yulan Lan was very heartfelt, and as soon as the eldest lady arrived, she knew the purpose of her visit. Sure enough, the eldest lady didn't care about saying those scenes, and said directly: "We have said everything, but my father just refuses to extinguish his heart of retreat." His old man has always loved you, and now you will persuade him, whether it is successful or not, he will always be a dead horse and a live horse doctor! ”

Yulan lowered her eyebrows and said, "Since my mother said so, I'll try it!" But what my grandfather decided is something I can change, and my mother must not hold out hope! "I still got vaccinated first.

The eldest lady urged: "I didn't tell you to do it, just go and give it a try!" Go, go, go! ”

Yulan said: "My daughter changed her clothes, and then she followed her mother." "I thought why I was in such a hurry!

Hurriedly changed her clothes, Yulan followed the eldest lady to the Songfeng Study, Yulan took a bowl of tea from the waiting little eunuch and went in, but the eldest lady didn't dare to follow in.

The old lady in the room was holding an ancient scroll with a yellowed surface, and he was reading it with relish! It looks very laid-back! Yulan gently put the tea cup on the table, walked behind the old lady, and rubbed his shoulders for him lightly.

These are cooked!

The old lady closed the book and said with a smile: "What, you are also here to be a lobbyist?" ”

Yulan listened to his relaxed tone, and knew that he was in a good mood, so he smiled and joked: "My granddaughter can't help it!" The old lady nodded, he naturally knew who called Yulan.

The old lady sighed and said: "I have been an official for forty years, after three dynasties, I am busy with tedious political affairs all day long, and I have abandoned many hobbies of my youth!" When I was not a jinshi, my favorite thing was to study these rare books! But look at this one-of-a-kind book, I've had it for two years, and I don't even have time to read it for myself......"

Give up hobbies for the sake of your career! Yulan deeply understood, and she smiled and said, "When you go into hiding, you have time to study!" ”

The old lady laughed: "Didn't you come to persuade me?" ”

Yulan stuck out her tongue and said, "Grandfather, you have made up your mind, I won't waste my tongue!" The old lady was flattered by her: "Aren't you afraid that without the label of the first assistant's granddaughter, you won't be able to marry a good family?" ”

Yulan thought to herself, I have Ye Yichen, the prince who is scared to death, but he didn't dare to say this, but he just said: "That rich family, although it is a fire cooking oil, flowers are brocade, the surface is beautiful, and I don't know how tired and bitter it is inside; Small doors, although plain, but not without happiness and happiness! What's more, now the competition between the crown prince and the king of Zhao is becoming increasingly fierce, and marrying a high-ranking family will not make it possible for the new emperor to ascend the throne and liquidate, and he will be implicated! ”

The old lady's eyes shot a sharp light, and he couldn't help sighing: "The eldest and the second one, they have lived in vain for so many years, and their knowledge is not as good as yours." "It's not that he doesn't think about his grandchildren, but he feels that his sons don't have very outstanding talents, if they participate in this battle for succession, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no catastrophe in the future, and after he goes, the more low-key the Yang Mansion is, the better.

But none of his sons and daughters-in-law could appreciate his painstaking efforts.

Another day later, the emperor summoned the old lady in the Qianqing Palace, and it was a good time to stay, but the old lady had already decided, and the emperor finally had no choice but to issue an edict to add officials to the Taibao, allowing the old lady to retire, but he was not allowed to return to his hometown, let him stay in the capital, the emperor but had difficulties, and consulted at any time.

The matter of Shousuke telling the old man has finally come to an end.

On February 16, Ye Yichen returned to Beijing as a great hero in pacifying the northwest. The emperor ordered the crown prince to meet sixty miles in the suburbs, and all the civil and military officials went out of the city to kneel down. Yulan remembered that the first time she met the prince was exactly the same situation, and she almost sneaked out of the house again with Xiaoyue.

It's just that she is now a young lady with a head and a face in the house, and she can't hide it from her wife when she goes out like this, so she has to put out this thought.

The emperor held a banquet in the Wuying Hall to entertain Ye Yichen. Ye Yichen's credit is too great now, it is really rewardable, the emperor and the Manchu Dynasty civil and military racked their brains, and finally came up with a workaround. The emperor allowed Ye Yichen to add an extra Dongzhu to the hat of the prince's dress, in addition to Ye Yichen's son can attack the prince in the future, Ye Yichen will have a second son in the future, and he can also be named the king of the county!

Such a grace is truly rare in the world!

As soon as this decree came out, all the noble families in the Jingshi, all those who had marriageable daughters in the family, all set their sights on the Jin Prince's Mansion.

Seeing that the mourning period of the Queen Mother is about to pass, it is impossible for the palace to be without a hostess all the time, and the position of the step-concubine of the prince of Jin is more attractive than the position of the ordinary princess and concubine. No matter who fills his house, as long as he gives birth to a son-in-law, he is a county king!

The entire Kyoshi has fallen into madness!

When Yulan heard the news, she didn't know what it was like in her heart. Since the prince returned to Beijing, she began to fidget, even writing big characters could not calm her irritable mood, knowing that the prince could not ask her to come over in a hurry, but the lovesickness, the closer she got together, the stronger it became.

For a few days, there was no movement in the palace, and Yulan was anxious and apprehensive, almost hating the prince a little. If it weren't for the fact that she was a girl who hadn't come out of the cabinet, she shouldn't be too eager, she couldn't wait to send a post and invite Ye Yichen over!

On this day, Xiaoyue ran in with a smile and said, "The concubine of the Jin Palace's prayer side sent a post over, saying that she had a new guqin, and asked the girl to come over and enjoy it!" ”
