At night, Yang Shidao came to Cui Junsu's house again, and as soon as he entered the door of Cui Junsu's study, he smiled bitterly: "Old Cui, we have to find a way to get our resignation back." ”

Cui Junsu smiled and said nothing, ordered his family to bring a few plates of side dishes, and took a pot of good peach wine, he personally poured a glass of wine for Yang Shidao, and then said with a smile: "I am still reluctant to leave the court, right!" ”

Yang Shidao sighed, "Sometimes I really hope that His Royal Highness the King of Chu will simply die and refuse to bow his head, so I will really go fishing in the Hanjiang River, and that's it, but he corrected his mistake, it is really a rare Ming monarch, under such a throne as a minister, I can also do a career, and my name will go down in history, if I really resign and leave, I am unwilling!" ”

Cui Junsu took a sip of the wine glass, the thick aroma of the wine made his eyes narrow, he simply drank the wine, and asked: "Brother Xian thinks that His Royal Highness the King of Chu was forced by the two of us to admit his mistake?" ”

Yang Shidao shook his head, "He is not that kind of person, he will not be coerced by anyone, and besides, the Great Sui is full of talents, and he is not inferior to the two of us, I think he realized the importance of this matter, which also shows that he really attaches importance to the law, rather than putting on a show, and is willing to lead by example." ”

"You are right, the first dynasty died in the second dynasty, he has deeply learned a lesson, attaches importance to the people's livelihood demands, attaches importance to the division of power, and avoids dictatorship, these are all guarantees of long-term peace and stability, in fact, Li Tang also did a good job, and the implementation of the multi-phase system to divide the monarchy also learned the lessons of the Sui Dynasty."

"I'm not optimistic about the Tang Dynasty."

Yang Shidao did not agree with Cui Junsu's opinion, "The Tang Dynasty divided the kings of the Li family and did not dare to touch the interests of the Guanlong nobles, although the Tang Dynasty was supported because of this, but it also cultivated a big elite class, and now because of the war at the end of the Sui Dynasty." Sparsely populated. You can also give a little benefit to the general public, and after a hundred years, the population will increase. The enclosure of these clan magnates will inevitably intensify, and sooner or later there will be a big mess, of course. The premise is that the Tang Dynasty can take the world. ”

Speaking of this, Yang Shidao's mood seemed a little depressed, on the one hand, he was relieved that the king of Chu had corrected his mistakes, on the other hand, he was disappointed that he was about to resign, he took the initiative to resign from the phase, once he resigned, it was difficult for him to return to his career, unless it was the crown prince who took the throne.

But the king of Chu was younger than him. In fact, it was a retirement, Yang Shidao drank all the wine in the cup and sighed long. "If it's because of my resignation. And so that His Royal Highness the King of Chu no longer violates the system, I will be depressed for the rest of my life. No regrets! ”

His sentence 'no complaints, no regrets' was full of infinite melancholy, Cui Junsu looked at him, suddenly laughed, and finally raised his head and laughed.

This unbridled laughter made Yang Shidao also a little annoyed, and he put the wine glass down, "What are you laughing at?" ”

"I'm laughing at you! At first, you were indomitable and brave, but after achieving your goal, you regretted it, and you can see what makes people's hearts unpredictable. ”

Cui Junsu shook his head, got up and took out a book from the bookcase, and handed it to Yang Shidao, "Du Xiangguo came to me this afternoon, this is for you." ”

Yang Shidao was stunned for a moment, he recognized that this book was his resignation, he slowly took it, flipped through the two pages, it was his resignation, but a few words were annotated later, it was Yang Yuanqing's handwriting.

'For the sake of the prime minister, he should be cautious in his words and deeds, and the public is more than brave and not cautious, and the public can know that he is wrong? ’

"This ......"

Yang Shidao's face was flushed and a little cramped, Yang Yuanqing actually returned the song to himself, which caught him off guard.

Cui Junsu sighed and said: "We should think that His Royal Highness the King of Chu can't be so narrow-minded, if he can't even accommodate the two of us, how can he accommodate the world?" ”

Yang Shidao was silent for a moment and said: "But no matter what, we have to give him a face, the king of Chu is wrong, we are also wrong, since he can correct his mistakes, why can't we correct our mistakes, just for the four words 'high-ranking nonsense', I should also go and apologize to him." ”

Cui Junsu gave a thumbs up, "I have told you so much tonight, only your words make me happy and convinced." ”……

In the palace of the king of Chu, two candles make the room bright, the green smoke curls in the incense burner in the corner, so that the room is filled with a faint sandalwood, on the couch, Yang Yuanqing is sitting on the desk to review the recitals, he left Taiyuan for more than a month, accumulated a large number of recitals, so that he had to bring a part of it back to the house, and take out the evening time to review.

This afternoon, Empress Xiao's edict has come out, he is punished lightly, he is removed from the post of Taishi, and he will be fined for half a year, Yang Yuanqing has to admire Empress Xiao's ability to be a man, understand his intentions, and be very good at figuring out people's minds, so that this matter is over.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and the voice of his wife Pei Minqiu came from outside the door, "Husband, I have something to do with you." ”

"Come in!"

Pei Minqiu pushed the door in, she was holding an ivory box in her hand, it was the box sent by Empress Xiao, this matter made her a little difficult, so she came to discuss with Yang Yuanqing.

"What's the matter?" Yang Yuanqing put down his pen and smiled.

"Hey!"

Pei Minqiu sighed, sat down opposite Yang Yuanqing, put the box on the table, and pushed it to her husband, "This is sent by the queen mother at noon, saying that it is a congratulatory gift for Peihua, Peihua didn't dare to accept it, and gave it to me again, I am also very embarrassed, you can help me refer to it." ”

"What is it?" Yang Yuanqing was a little curious, what would be the congratulatory gift that even Jiang Peihua didn't dare to accept?

Pei Minqiu opened the box and carefully took out a bracelet, which was inlaid with diamonds, which were dazzling in the candlelight, especially a diamond as large as a pigeon's egg, which shimmered with a sea blue light.

Yang Yuanqing took the bracelet and looked at it for a moment, his brows furrowed slightly, "This bracelet is very precious, but it will not make the concubine of the king of Chu dare not accept it, and make the princess of Chu feel embarrassed, is it so serious?" ”

"Peihua said, this is one of the seventy-two pieces of jewelry after Xiao, her seventy-two pieces of jewelry will never be given to anyone, including Princess Nanyang gave birth to Yuwen Zen Master, and asked her for a piece of jewelry for the Zen master to suppress evil spirits, she refused, it is said that she was enlightened by the master of Tiantai Zong Zhiyi, and none of the seventy-two pieces of jewelry is missing, but she gave one to Qiaolang, this favor is too great."

Yang Yuanqing smiled, and did not take the princess to heart, what if Empress Xiao had seventy-two pieces of jewelry, if she didn't care about her, it was estimated that her jewelry would not be able to keep it for half a day, and it would all be snatched away by the bandits, I am afraid that even she herself would be robbed to be the lady of the village, Empress Xiao looks charming and mature, and she is very young, which is in line with the taste of those bandits.

It was her own shelter that made her rely on her for the rest of her life, and she could continue to keep her glory and wealth, and give her son a piece of jewelry, which shows the wisdom of this woman, Yang Yuanqing knows very well in his heart that this is actually Empress Xiao showing favor to himself.

"It's just a piece of jewelry, you just let Peihua accept it, just say I said it, it's not a big deal."

Pei Minqiu also understood what her husband meant, she thought for a while and said, "Okay then! I'll take it, but I'm going to thank her myself and give her back. ”

Yang Yuanqing took out a jade pen and handed it to his wife, "This pen is also a precious thing, so I will return this pen to her personal favor." ”

Pei Minqiu pursed her lips and smiled, and took the jade pen, "I'm worried that I don't have anything for her, so it's just right for you to send a pen, saving me a good piece of jewelry." ”

At this time, there was a housekeeper outside the door who reported: "Master Qiqi, Yang Xiangguo and Cui Xiangguo are here, and they asked to see each other outside the gate, saying that they came to ask the master for their guilt." ”

There are two Cui Xiangguo and two Yang Xiangguo in Ziwei Pavilion, but now only Yang Shidao and Cui Junsu are the ones who come to ask him for guilt, Yang Yuanqing thought for a while and said: "Tell them, just say that I have rested, see you tomorrow!" ”

"Wait!"

Pei Minqiu called the housekeeper's wife, she frowned lightly, and persuaded Yang Yuanqing in a low voice: "Husband, this is not good!" After all, they are Xiangguo. ”

"I've been tolerant enough that the two of them dared to threaten me with resignation, and I forgave them."

"If they have forgiven, why don't they see it, so that they will not have a mustard in their hearts."

"But I'm not feeling well!"

Yang Yuanqing's face was gloomy, "They used resignation to coerce me to admit my mistakes, from the overall situation, I have a heart and can ignore them, but I am not a puppet, it doesn't mean that I have no temper, I am not happy in my heart, and now I don't want to see them." ”

Pei Minqiu sighed helplessly, and said to the housekeeper's mother-in-law: "Just do what the master says!" ”

The housekeeper's wife left, the atmosphere in the room became a little heavy, neither of them spoke, Pei Minqiu sighed lowly, "Husband, be busy!" I won't bother anymore. ”

She turned around to leave, but Yang Yuanqing took her hand, "Sit down!" Talk to me. ”

Pei Minqiu showed a smile on her face, and laughed coquettishly, "I asked the maid to fry the ginseng tea, it is estimated that it is already good, the husband will sit down for a while, and I will bring it to you." ”

She turned around and walked briskly, Yang Yuanqing was indeed a little annoyed in his heart, but he didn't want to inflict the unhappiness in his heart on his family, looking at his wife going out, he shook his head slightly, picked up the pen again, and opened the next notebook......

Outside the palace, Cui Junsu and Yang Shidao stood in front of the steps, patiently waiting for Yang Yuanqing's reception, they were all smart people, Yang Yuanqing accepted their advice with a tolerant mind, so as not to go to the post of Taishi and be fined for half a year, admitting that he had violated the rules of killing the county order without permission.

But Yang Yuanqing's admission of mistakes does not mean that he is not dissatisfied in his heart, especially when Lu Yu and Cui Hongyuan are also using resignation to exert pressure, it is conceivable that the simultaneous resignation of the four prime ministers will cause Yang Yuanqing to be angry.

Cui Junsu and Yang Shidao also realized that it was inappropriate for them to use resignation to exert pressure, and he needed to apologize and give Yang Yuanqing a face.

At this time, the door opened, and the housekeeper walked out quickly, bowing to the two of them: "Two Xiangguo, I'm really sorry, there was news from the inner house just now, the lord is a little tired, and he has rested early, tomorrow the lord will go to the court normally, what's the matter, let's talk about it tomorrow!" ”

Cui Junsu and Yang Shidao glanced at each other, and a wry smile appeared in both of their eyes, it seemed that Yang Yuanqing was really a little angry with them......
