Outside the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Liu Sheng looked inside quietly. Today is Xu Yanping, the day of their resignation, they sighed slightly in their hearts. From now on, the burden on my body will be a little heavier.

At this time, Xu Yanping and the three Shangshu walked over in official robes. When they saw Liu Sheng outside the house, they all laughed. Shen Shangshu smiled at a few people: "I said that this kid won't be late, you guys believe it now."

"Liu Sheng, why don't you go directly to the Prime Minister's Mansion. but waited outside, and why?" Yan Shangshu heard Shen Shangshu's words and asked Liu Sheng.

Liu Sheng smiled embarrassedly and saluted to a few people: "Your uncles are about to resign, and it is inevitable that there will be many miscellaneous matters to deal with." The younger generation thinks about it, and it will be better to wait outside the house."

"We'll talk about gossip later, and now when you enter the palace to ask Your Majesty, it's most important to ask for your resignation." A carriage was brought by the family, Xu Yanping directly interrupted them and walked to the car.

Seeing this, several people did not gossip, and walked into the carriage together. The coachman saw a few people, and after sitting in it, he hurried to the palace with a whip.

After a short time, he arrived at the palace, Cao Gao's eyes were sharp, and he happened to see a group of people getting off the carriage, and greeted him: "Xiangye, a few Shangshu lords." Your Majesty has been waiting for a long time in the Imperial Study."

"Liu Sheng, let's go to the imperial study together." When Xu Yanping heard Cao Gao's words, he didn't answer, and turned his head to call Liu Sheng. Several people walked together to the imperial study.

Chai Yu was giving instructions when he heard footsteps and looked up. Xu Yanping and several people came over one after another, bowed to him, and saluted: "The ministers have seen Your Majesty's ......."

"Prime Minister, all scholars, this is the imperial study, not above the court, please be even. It's just that the Qing and others are coming, so what's the matter?" Chai Yu saw a few people saluting, and remembered this morning, after the dispersal of the dynasty. Xu Yanping was a little puzzled when he said.

Xu Yanping saluted Chai Yu, then took off the official hat on his head and put it in front of the table: "The old minister took the liberty of letting His Majesty wait for the ministers in the palace for the sake of resignation."

"Presumably Your Majesty should also have heard that this matter has spread wildly in Luoyang City. I am waiting to come here today because I want to resign together and return to my hometown with honor." The three Shangshu also bowed down at the same time, took off the official hat on their heads, and put it in front of the table.

Seeing this situation, Chai Yu was at a loss, and hurriedly walked over and convinced the four of them one by one: "But because I have lost morality, I disappointed Qing and others, so I had the idea of resigning."

"It's not Your Majesty, it's an old minister. Originally, the first emperor was in power, and I was already waiting for it, and I planned to resign. However, the will of heaven is unpredictable, and the first emperor died suddenly. In order to avoid turmoil in the government and the opposition, we can only steal a high position and dare not resign. But now that the situation is gradually calming down, and Your Majesty's majesty is growing, it is time for us to retreat." Lu Shangshu heard Chai Yu's inquiry, and hurriedly replied respectfully.

Shen Shangshu didn't wait for Chai Yu to reply, he hurriedly took over the conversation and continued: "Over the past year or so, the minister has felt that his health has become worse and worse, and his spirit has become worse and worse. The mind is sluggish, the old eyes are dizzy, and the high position is not the blessing of the society".

"Nowadays, there are many virtuous ministers in the court, rising stars, good talents and beautiful jade, and there are countless of them. The ministers are old and greedy, which is not the blessing of us and the court. It's also time to step down and give them the place to fulfill their ambitions." Yan Shangshu continued to speak after the words of several people. Thinking of his life experience as an official, I felt a lot of emotion in my heart.

Chai Yu heard the three Shangshu finish speaking, sighed, and saluted the three: "Now I have first ascended to the great treasure, less than two years. How could Qing and the others bear to leave me. After that, what should the court do?"

"Your Majesty must not, the ministers are ministers, and they can only receive the courtesy of the king." The three Shangshu saw Chai Yu, saluted them, and hurriedly dissuaded them.

Seeing this, Xu Yanping shook his head and bowed: "The ministers are old, if you can resign at this time, you will return to your hometown." Let the fallen leaves return to the roots, and there will be no regrets. Please also ask Your Majesty to thank you for the fact that your ministers are old and have some hard work for the court, and allow us to resign and go into hiding."

Seeing that the four of them insisted on resigning, Chai Yu remembered the past, and remembered the battle for the storage position back then: "Qing and others are all elders who watched me grow up, if it wasn't for Qing and others to protect each other, how could I be where I am today." Now that I have seen Qing and others resign, I feel that this palace is extremely desolate."

"Your Majesty, the lord of benevolence, even if the ministers didn't make a move, there would naturally be others. Recalling what His Majesty did when he ascended the throne, he can also be called a generation of heroes. I am waiting for this time to retire because I want to live a few more years and wait for Your Majesty to create a prosperous world." Shang Shu heard Chai Yu's sentimentality, and his heart was a little moved.

Shen Shangshu was very moved when he heard this, and saluted Chai Yuzai: "If the ministers return to their hometowns, they will continue to live for a few years." Your Majesty is willing to let a few of the old ministers die in the prosperous era."

"If Your Majesty can let a few old ministers die in the prosperous world. Wait until the bottom of the nine springs and see the first emperor. We have the ability to praise Your Majesty's merits in front of the first emperor." After listening to Chai Yu's exclamation and Shen Shangshu's words, Lu Shangshu's heart was also warm.

Chai Yu heard the sigh of the two, and was very touched in his heart: "I will not disappoint Zhongqing, but the matter of resignation is important, and I hope to think twice."

"Your Majesty doesn't have to worry, I will arrange everything after my resignation a long time ago." Xu Yanping heard Chai Yu say this, and nodded in his heart. This is an emperor, and the resignation of the four is a great thing for him. How can I hesitate to shirk it.

Chai Yu didn't continue to be polite, and asked directly: "Is it arranged?" I would like to hear about it".

"As early as a year ago, the ministers and others successively delegated power. Even now, I'll resign. Your Majesty only needs to appoint a virtuous minister to take over, and the ministries will be able to run freely." Shen Shangshu organized his words a little in his heart and replied to Chai Yu. The other two Shangshu also nodded in agreement.

Chai Yu heard Shen Shangshu's words, and thought in his heart: "Since the three Aiqing have made up their minds, how can I bear to disturb you to enjoy your old age in peace." I heard that your hometown is in Jinling, but I don't know how to arrange it."

"Your Majesty, rest assured, we have entrusted the people from Jinling to Liu Sheng. I don't know Your Majesty, but I am satisfied." Xu Yanping heard the meaning of Chai Yu's words and hurriedly replied.

Chai Yu was already slightly, but he didn't expect them to be so courageous. At first, when I heard Liu Sheng talk about this matter, I couldn't believe it, but now it seems that I think it is confirmed: "Entrust it to Liu Sheng?" They are satisfied".

"How could they not be satisfied? Entrusting them to Liu Sheng is just the right thing to do for the imperial court, such as Shantang." Xu Yanping knew Chai Yu's worries and directly singled out. Although the Hao clan is spread all over the world, they have established a good hall under the guidance of Liu Sheng. For the court and the royal family, it couldn't be better.

When Chai Yu heard this, he was overjoyed, and couldn't help but the corners of his mouth curled slightly: "Since the prime minister and all the scholars are still here, they insist on resigning." If I am imposing, it will not be unsatisfactory. Tomorrow morning, I also ask you Aiqing, when the court proposed, I naturally agreed. It's just that this is far away from Jinling Mountain, and I ask you to take care of yourself."

"Thank you for your grace, and we will leave. The next thing is to let Liu Sheng negotiate with His Majesty." When Xu Yanping heard Chai Yu's permission, the two of them hurriedly bowed down to thank him, turned around and walked out of the imperial study.

Chai Yu was slightly stunned when he heard them talk about Liu Sheng. Looking at their backs, I wanted to ask again. At this time, Liu Sheng came from outside the door with a smile. The two looked at each other, and everything was silent. (To be continued.) )
