Chapter 926: Asking for a Monthly Pass
Walking out of the palace gate, Li Chao felt a burst of relief in his heart. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Without the Liang Guanyu belt, Li Chao swaggered out of the palace gate with his bare head and loose robe. The guards guarding the palace gate were dumbfounded.
Li Xiangguo's appearance, how can he seem to run away in embarrassment after being caught cheating. However, this kind of thought is only a thought in my heart, which is too absurd. It's the palace inside, who dares to mess around in the palace. Even Li Xiangguo, who is famous all over the world, doesn't dare.
"Look up to the sky and laugh and go out, how can my generation be a Penghao person!"
Ignoring the strange eyes of the guards, Li Chao flicked his sleeves, laughed a few times, recited a poem, and left.
Out of Yuliangzhou, the family of the Li family was waiting there, and when he got in the car, Li Chao went home directly.
Back in the house, Cui Yingying was surprised that Li Chao came back so early, usually Li Chao went out in the morning to go to the office, and the lunch was used in the yamen, and he didn't go home until the evening.
"Why did you go home so early today?"
"I resigned."
Cui Yingying glanced at Li Chao and found that her husband was bareheaded, and even the jade belt on his waist was gone, and he didn't have a goldfish charm, only a purple robe, but he understood a little.
"Bring Ah Lang a top head, and then bring a jade." She said to the maid on the side.
Brushing the dust off her husband's body, she said, "If you quit, you will quit, and you are just recuperating at home." ā
Li Chao directly took off the purple robe and threw it aside, and sat in the chair, "You don't care?" ā
"I'm a woman, what do I care about. I believe that the husband must have his own reasons. ā
After drinking a cup of tea, Li Chao went to change his clothes.
simply took a bath first, and when the soak was relaxed, Li Chao got up and changed his clothes.
Relaxed.
At this time, calm down and think about it, Li Chao did not regret his resignation. In the palace today, he did not resign on a whim, nor did he resign on a false basis.
Even if you think about it carefully, the emperor's anger today is not all because of Hou Junji's affairs. The matter of Hou Junji can only be said to be an introduction, and the emperor must have other meanings in his heart.
In the final analysis, it is still the collision of power and monarchy, and it is even said that Li Shimin has always delegated power to Li Chao before, but as Li Chao's achievements are getting bigger and bigger, the emperor has not been mentioning it all the time, when the two have a conflict, Li Shimin's violent reaction shows that he has always been not very worried about Li Chao's power.
Although Li Shimin was angry today, his performance was not bad, Li Chao took the opportunity to resign, and Li Shimin also agreed angrily.
In fact, both of them may be happy to see this result in their hearts.
This is not Li Shimin's stinginess, Li Chao can understand the emperor's mentality.
No one can offend the imperial power. When Li Shimin perceives that he is threatened, no matter how generous he is, he will be angry.
Today's matter, if Li Chao is willing to take a step back and is willing to let Hou Jun gather a horse, things will not get to this point. But Li Chao didn't want to back down, not just because of Hou Junji himself.
It doesn't matter if he resigns, with his reputation and meritorious deeds today, he will continue to stay in the court, Li Shimin is afraid that he will always feel uncomfortable in his heart. It shows that he may not admit that he will not be able to tolerate Li Chao, but this is the case.
Maybe Li Chao was too careful, but Li Chao didn't want it to come to that point.
In early autumn in September, the weather is cool.
Under the trees in the courtyard, lying on a rattan chair, drinking tea and reading books, it is very leisurely.
However, Li Chao's resignation quickly spread the news, which caused a major earthquake in Xiangyang. Countless people were surprised that Li Xiang was such a good person, how could he say that he would resign if he resigned, and the emperor agreed.
Many people sighed that this year's DPRK and China have been regarded as a major earthquake, Liu Xun was reduced to the people in the imperial history, Yuan Ji was also demoted to a concubine, and then Xiao Yu and Chen Shuda were dismissed, and now Li Chao has also resigned.
Cheng Yanjin was the first to come to the door.
As soon as he came in, he rushed directly to the garden, sat in front of Li Chao, picked up the purple sand tea and drank it to his mouth. Li Chao's eyelids twitched, Mah, this guy is also a real feudal prince, and this year he remarried Qinghe Cui's wife, and he is close to Li Chao.
But even if he married Qinghe Cui, Cheng Yanjin still didn't change much. Every time he comes to Li's house, he directly carries Li Chao's teapot to drink, whether it is Da Hong Pao or Longjing, no matter how precious the tea is, he is a cow drink.
Li Chao felt sorry for his another good teapot, and when Cheng Biting Jin drank it like this, he could only change it again.
"Wenyuan, I've bothered you this time. Unexpectedly, you resigned in the end because of my. ā
Li Chao put down the book in his hand, "It's not because of you who resigned, but because I'm tired and annoyed, and I want to be idle." ā
"." Cheng bit Jin and slapped his thigh, "It's not because of Hou Junji, I'm also convinced, I don't know why Your Majesty has to protect that surnamed Hou, it's really chilling." I'll tell you, I just hung up my crown and resigned from my mother's job. If you don't do it, since you're happy, then go home. ā
"By the way, the two lines of poetry you left in front of the palace gate today have already spread all over Xiangyang. Look up to the sky and laugh and go out, how can my generation be a Penghao person, haha, happy. I haven't heard of your poem before, what is the whole poem? ā
Li Chao smiled, "It's just two casual words." ā
"What a casual remark, this is too level."
"Did you really quit?" Li Chao asked.
"Resign, since the emperor is so partial to the surnamed Hou, then what's the point of me as a bird official, stop doing it."
Cheng Biting Jin, Li Chao knew that he was thick and fine, and on the surface he was a rough and reckless man, but it was actually quite interesting. This man is not a fool, but a goblin man.
As soon as Li Chao resigned, he also resigned immediately, and Li Chao remembered this love in his heart.
"Hey, bring wine, it's not fun to drink tea. Anyway, the official also resigned, and when we have time and leisure, we have a good drink. ā
"Then drink two glasses."
Li Chao said with a smile.
At this time, the meeting under the door of the Chinese book broke up unhappily.
Li Chao resigned on the spot, and there were eight prime ministers left, and no one was willing to draft an edict for the emperor, let alone agree to his pardon.
Li Shimin threw away angrily.
As soon as he returned to his imperial study, Li Shimin knew the poem that Li Chao left in front of the palace gate when he left.
"Look up to the sky and laugh and go out, how can my generation be a Penghao person!"
Reciting these two lines of poetry, Li Shimin smiled.
"Okay, since you look up to the sky and laugh and go out, then let him go."
Under the door of the book.
Li Chao and the emperor are gone, leaving eight prime ministers, sitting there in a somewhat dignified atmosphere.
"It's a mess." The eldest grandson Wuji broke the silence, "Ma Xiang, do you see if you go to talk to Li Xiang, don't be rash, this Shangshu Province can't be presided over without Li Xiang for a day." You go and persuade Li Xiang for us first, and come back to preside. ā
Fang Xuanling also nodded.
Today's incident is a little too intense. Although he also looked down on Hou Junji and was dissatisfied with the emperor's blind favoritism, Li Chao was too fierce before, and both sides couldn't get off the stage. Anyway, the emperor is still the emperor, and he has to give some steps.
"Well, I also ask the eldest grandson Xiangguo to talk to Your Majesty, it is best to talk to the queen first, so that the queen can persuade Your Majesty."
Wei Zheng sat there with a calm expression, "Li Xiang still has to come back, but there is one thing we still have to talk about first, Hou Junji This matter, we can't let go." No matter how much Your Majesty tries to protect it, we can't compromise. There is no concession to this matter. In this regard, I fully support Li Xiang, Hou Junji does not kill, it is not enough to calm the anger of the army and the people, or it will chill the hearts of the heroes and soldiers! ā
Today, it can be said that since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the most serious conflict between the prime minister and the emperor has been.
Previously, for the implementation of the new law, Xiao Yu, Chen Shuda and other prime ministers opposed the new law, which was only the opposition of some prime ministers. But this time it was different, the nine prime ministers unanimously refused to give in to the emperor, and they must severely punish Hou Junji and not give in an inch.
The prime ministers put the emperor on top.
The eldest grandson Wuji smiled bitterly and entered the palace to see his sister, he knew that his errand was estimated to be difficult to complete. The queen's qi illness has been much better recently, and after spring, the illness is always easier.
She also knew what happened under the Zhongshu Gate today, and now she saw her brother come and carefully inquired about what happened at that time.
"You help persuade Your Majesty, this time, Your Majesty has indeed passed, and Hou Junji is not worth protecting."
The eldest grandson nodded, and she said to Princess Changle, "Lizhi, you go over there to read a book." ā
"I can't imagine that Your Majesty and Li Xiang are still so stiff today."
However, Empress Changsun is also a smart woman, although she does not interfere in politics, she knows the situation in the DPRK and China very well.
"I'm afraid that Li Xiang's resignation today is not so simple. Wen Yuan, you know, young, but smart. In the past few years, he has made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty's expedition to the east and west. On top of the court, he also presided over the reform and change of the law, and His Majesty has always relied on it. Li Chao is not that kind of impulsive person, but this time, because of this matter, he refused to give His Majesty any face, and made things so stiff, and even went directly under the Zhongshu Gate, I am afraid that it was also intentional, and deliberately took the opportunity of this matter. ā
"Are you saying that Li Chao has long had the intention of retreating bravely?"
"Well, Li Chao is too smart, and people who are too smart always think far ahead. The merit is high, and it is always against the earthquake. ā
"This guy is sometimes very carefree, but sometimes he is too shrewd, I don't even know what to say about him. Is Your Majesty the kind of person who is suspicious of meritorious heroes? Eldest Sun Wuji shook his head and sighed.
Thinking of Li Chao several times before, he finally let this guy find a chance.
"What does Your Majesty think?" The eldest grandson Wuji asked his sister.
The eldest grandson Wuji shook her head, she sometimes couldn't guess her husband's thoughts, and she couldn't guess it more and more. The husband should have never suspected Li Chao, not before, but maybe in the future. Li Chao resigned this time, but her husband didn't keep her, although she may have been angry at the time, but she couldn't figure out what she really thought in her heart.
"I'll go and persuade Your Majesty later."
The Imperial Study.
Li Shimin circled around the study, and all the palace attendants lowered their heads and didn't dare to take a breath. The emperor's appearance at this time made it clear to them that he did not dare to be angry at all.
Li Shimin sighed and turned around. One will grit his teeth, and the next will sigh again and again.
As the Son of Heaven, he didn't know what to do with Li Chao.
