That being said, it remains to be seen whether it is not.

It's just that the things in the imperial study, Mu Ling also secretly listened to it, and now looking at Liang Chu's expression, I am afraid that he will not deal with this courtier.

Mu Ling's eyes rolled, and he boldly had an idea.

"Tsk, sir, you see that you are trembling even when you are standing, why do you force yourself to do such a thing?"

"The old concubine is worried about it, the old minister has done his best for the court all his life and died, so naturally he won't care about this." Lord Chen glanced at the concubine dissatisfied, and the displeasure in his eyes was obvious.

Mu Ling nodded indifferently: "Lord Chen is willing to serve the country, but our emperor is not so unkind." Thinking about it, Lord Chen is also old, and it is not good to always ask you to get up early and work in the dark, so why not from today Lord Chen will pack up his burden and go back to the countryside to retire! ”

"You!"

Lord Chen was immediately angry.

Asking a courtier to return to his hometown to retire for the elderly is a grace to say it well, and it is a derogatory reproach to the courtier if it is not good.

And once a courtier is demoted, many things and many rights are gone, what a torment is it for the courtiers who have been in the officialdom all the year round?

If the emperor said it, it would be fine, but this was what the concubine said, and she couldn't be taken seriously either, so for a while, Lord Chen couldn't even find the words to refute, so he could only stare at Mu Ling with wide eyes and couldn't speak.

"Thinking that Lord Chen is looking forward to this day, he is so excited that he is speechless." Mu Ling covered his mouth and giggled twice, "Since you are so happy, why don't the emperor fulfill a wish of the old man!" ”

At this time, Lord Chen was very anxious, but he couldn't speak, his whole body seemed to be stuck, and it was a little difficult to even move Zen.

Mu Ling looked at this situation, afraid that it was a precursor to a stroke, so he hurriedly ordered Xiao Ruizi to give in and help.

Liang Chu had already written the decree with a pen, and only handed it over to Feng Shou to frame, and then sent it to Lord Chen's mansion later.

"Hurry up and help Master Chen out, send him back to the house well, older people always have to be extra careful."

Mu Ling hurriedly spoke, signaling Xiao Ruizi to send the person back quickly. Others will have a stroke and fall into a coma, and the spread will have to rely on the emperor's head.

Xiao Ruizi didn't dare to delay, and was busy transporting Lord Chen out.

When the imperial study was tired and fell into silence again, Mu Ling breathed a sigh of relief: "Today is my overstep, but if I don't mess around like this, I'm afraid I won't be able to deal with these old adults." ”

This kind of old man is old because others respect him, and he can go to heaven, relying on the old man to sell ** and stir up the tricks, which is better than a child who wants candy.

is to deal with such a person, you can only be more scoundrel and more brutal than him, otherwise you will never have the upper hand.

Liang Chu didn't mean to blame: "Although I sent him away today, there are still several in this court!" Not to mention that there has been no peace in the past few days, and when the seventh brother comes back in a few days, it will be even more and more unpeaceful. ”

Liang Yan is also of royal blood, and these old ministers saw the things of the past. As soon as Liang Yan came back this time, it was strange that the group of people didn't hug Liang Yan's thighs!

Thinking of this, even Mu Ling was silent.

The battle for the throne between the princes has always been bloody and cruel. During this time, these people supported Su Jin's rebellion and did not succeed, so they naturally knew that Liang Chu had already been wary of them, and Liang Yan's appearance was their lifeline, and these people would definitely turn to Liang Yan instead.

But if this is the case, then there will be no more peaceful days for this beam.

Mu Ling felt a little pain, and couldn't help muttering: "It would be good if you got a retirement method, and you would automatically retire when you are old, and you wouldn't have to jump here all day." ”

"Retirement?"

"Ahh Mu Ling was taken aback, and then came back to his senses, "Retirement is naturally to reach a certain age, whether you are sick or healthy, you must be disarmed and returned to the field, and the imperial court will issue a certain retirement pension every month to show that this person has made achievements during his reign." ”

This is the most common way in modern times, especially the iron rice bowl with a compilation, which is to sit at home and get money after retirement.

This kind of good thing is usually not rejected, but in ancient times it was a little different.

Mu Ling thought for a while, and added: "It's just that some courtiers don't use it, and this pension can be distributed as a reward and glory for an excellent courtier." ”

In this way, it can also ensure that corrupt officials will not be allowed to take money for nothing after retirement, and it can also ensure that honest officials will not have a miserable life after retirement.

And if this pension is the emperor's reward for the courtiers, it must be an extremely glorious thing. Even if the ministers are retired, the glory on their bodies is still there, and there will not be such a big gap.

This kind of thing must be something that many people are willing to accept.

Liang Chu thought about it for a while, and then understood the twists and turns, and his eyes immediately lit up: "Ah Ling is really a good idea, if I had thought of these earlier, I wouldn't have such trouble today!" ”

"It's not too late, there will always be people who take the initiative."

Mu Ling smiled, seeing that he looked relieved, and felt much more relaxed in his heart.

And as soon as such a decree is moved, although there will be ministers who have opinions, it will not be too violent. And some of those Su Jinyu parties will take the initiative to retire in order to protect themselves.

In this way, it is not that Liang Chu wants to oppose these old ministers, but sympathize with the courtiers.

Fame and fortune, why not?

Liang Chuchu was happy, and his eyes became hotter and hotter when he saw Mu Ling. He knew that his Ah Ling was a treasure, and he could easily solve his problems in a few words, but he never expected her to surprise him like this.

"Don't be looking at me." Mu Ling was helpless, and handed over the dim sum, "Eat some first, I'll go back first, remember to go over for lunch." ”

Liang Chu nodded and called Feng Shou to send her out.

Seeing him so busy, Mu Ling's heart ached, but he could only sigh helplessly and follow Feng Shou out.

She is just a concubine, no matter how talented she is, she will be appreciated by the emperor again, and she will not be asked to interfere much in this national matter, so even if she feels sorry for him, she can't help much.

Out of the imperial study, just a few steps away, I saw Xiao Ruizi on the other side leading someone in a hurry, Mu Ling couldn't help but stop: "But what happened?" ”

"That's the Marquis of Yasukuni, I handed over the fold today, and the emperor allowed him to bring the tiger talisman into the palace."

Feng Shou glanced at it and explained in a low voice.
