The emperor's face looks like a little more than forty, but his eyes are a pair of narrow Danfeng eyes, always squinting, the look inside is gloomy but full of majesty, and his posture is tall like a towering mountain.

He sat down and smiled rarely, his gloomy face seemed to be a lot gentler, and he said to the ministers present: "Zhong Aiqing doesn't need to be formal, today is just a family banquet, there is no need to taboo." ”

After thanking the people, they started talking in a whisper, but they still kept the etiquette.

Today's central figure is Wei Qilang, whose affairs are in a uproar and known to everyone, while he himself is calm and calm, ignoring all the remarks of the outside world. People are like this, the more they don't let them look at and not respond, the more suspicious they will immediately arouse, and all kinds of eyes will be cast on him, whispering to each other.

At this time, the emperor's calm and authoritative voice came, and asked him a word, and as soon as he spoke, the hall fell silent, and they all looked at him.

"Wei Qing, today's family banquet, why don't you bring your wife and children over for me to see."

Wei Qilang raised his eyes, put down the wine glass in his hand and replied lightly: "Back to the emperor, Neiko is in poor health, so he can't come to such a happy banquet, please forgive me." When he heard this, it was perfunctory, and he said something involuntarily, calmly, and didn't care what others thought.

A trace of anger flashed in the depths of the emperor's eyes, but he smiled on his face, and actually endured his presumptuousness, not speaking, but Su Liuyu, the corners of his mouth pulled up, and he actually smiled faintly.

Which one of the people present is not a human spirit, and they seem to be kind and dissolvable on the face, but in fact, they are all suspicious of each other in their hearts.

At this moment, seeing this admiration in his eyes and listening to them, a minister stood up, knelt on the ground and said to the emperor: "Emperor Mingjian, the first thing that the Lord of the Zhongshu Order will do when he returns to Beijing this time is to resign, he is the lord of the seven provinces, holding the lifeblood of the Chu State, and he cannot easily dismiss the official and escape the world, if not, the seven provinces will be divided like that scattered sand, and the seven provinces will be divided suddenly, which will directly shake the foundation of the country and destroy the foundation of my Chu State, and please think twice." ”

"Presumptuous!"

A break suddenly sounded after he finished speaking, the minister's kneeling body was frightened, and the people present were also shocked, and they turned their heads to look, but saw that it was Wei Qilang who had already stood up, full of anger, staring at the minister, pursing his lips and gloomy face.

I saw him snort coldly, flicked the hem of his robe and bypassed the small number, and walked to the center of the field, but he did not kneel, but stood with his head held high, first glanced at the minister with cold eyes, the minister was looked at worriedly, but he still knelt on the ground and couldn't get up, he just raised his head and glanced in the direction of Su Liuyu, and there was a cold blade in his eyes, which shot out like a knife, which could pierce Su Liuyu.

And the latter smiled at the corner of his mouth, his face was calm, and he did not show weakness, and the look in his eyes was moist, but he also looked straight at him with anger.

Wei Qilang sneered in his heart, but he turned his head to the emperor, looked at Su Liuyu and said: "Lord Su is really good at picking time, today is a good day established by the East Palace, but you used it to discuss the government, but did you put the emperor in your eyes?" ”

His eyes were calm, standing in the center of the venue and looking straight at Su Liuyu, forced by his momentum, the rest of the people sat in their places quietly, and for a while, the entire hall could hear the needle falling.

And the emperor looked at the wall with a black face and cold eyes, and it seemed that he was already angry, but for some reason, he didn't get angry at Wei Qilang's presumptuous tolerance to this point, and he didn't punish him, and let him continue.

"The prince of the East Palace is a big matter, and it can be regarded as an important matter of the court, and the resignation of the Chinese book will inevitably affect it, how can this be said to be a false discussion?" Su Liuyu is light, he has always been clever and eloquent, and he can turn things around in three or two sentences.

The fair-skinned face was even more beautiful in the brightly lit hall, looking at Wei Qilang with a vague smile, and said slowly: "I heard that Lord Zhongshu Ling once said a sentence: no matter how well the roses bloom, there will be a day when they will wither, and the withering is the past, that is, forgotten, and should not be remembered again." ”

As soon as he said this, in an instant, the entire hall was in an uproar, and after hearing this, the emperor's face was even more ugly and gloomy, and his eyes when he looked at Wei Qilang were also cold.

Yanghuai City in Kyoto is also known as Rose City, and Zhongshu Ling is in charge of the seven provinces, holding the lifeblood of the military and government of Chu State, and the highest power center is in Yang Huaicheng, so this position is also known as Rose Order.

The people who have always been in charge of the seven provinces are from the cold window and have studied hard for decades, have great wisdom, and can cover all kinds of things, so every man must be a man who stands up to the sky, which is rare in the world, and on the other hand, in charge of the position of Zhongshu Ling, he has to pay a lot of things that ordinary people can hardly imagine.

For example, there is no independent right to choose a good match and start a family, for example, for this position, you can't retire for life, and even if you die, you are a royal person.

That's why Wei Qilang has feelings for Dong Ru and can't do without her, in order to take better care of her and not let her suffer with him, he must resign.

But what he is carrying is nothing else, it is the lifeblood of the entire Chu State, and it is even more difficult to retreat, all the time, the emperor does not agree, and the ministers compete to dissuade him, giving him a lot of pressure, so that until now he is fighting alone.

Responsibility is greater than heaven, the people are the first priority, such a seemingly glorious reason, has been delayed again and again, tied to this position and cannot get out, and others don't seem to think that he can protect the safety and happiness of others, so what about his own, who has thought about it for him?

And the words that Su Liuyu said were telling the people present that Wei Qilang had already had the intention of retreating a long time ago, and saying it at this moment was just to remind the emperor.

Wei Qilang's expression remained the same, Su Liuyu is a cabinet minister, his power covers the sky, and his eyeliner is all over the place, it is not surprising to hear what he said to Master He at the beginning, presumably it was Master He who listened to it with his front foot, and told him with his back foot.

It's just that at this moment, the ministers in the main hall are all talking about it, saying that it is his woman from the countryside who fascinates him, otherwise why would such a powerful figure in Zhongshuling resign.

Wei Qilang heard it in his ears and was angry in his heart, but he didn't argue, but stepped forward and said aloud to the emperor: "Your Majesty, Wechen has already had the heart of retreat, not only today, the post of Zhongshu Ling is indeed a big matter, and Wechen does not dare to entrust it to others, if you want to retire, Wechen will definitely get everything done, please rest assured." ”

He speaks neither humbly nor arrogantly, even in the face of the supreme power in the world, he still holds his head high.

With people, he is calm, with his heart, he does not want to be wronged Dong Ru, with affection, he is willing to hold hands and look at each other, if you want to give up, then give up what you have, there is nothing in the world more important than being with your beloved.

Su Liuyu looked at it lightly, but the look in his eyes was a little shocked.

The hall was silent, and everyone's eyes were looking at Wei Qilang in disbelief, the Wei family is a giant family in a big family, and no matter how many people can't squeeze in if they sharpen their heads, let alone the highest position in the book, but he has repeatedly pushed back the power in his body, just for the weak wife Dong Ru who has no help to his career.

The emperor was silent, his originally gloomy face was even colder, looking at Wei Qilang's determined look, his heart was full of anger, and the ministers below raised their eyes and quietly observed the emperor's face, seeing that he was looking at Zhongshuling coldly, he was obviously very angry, and they all sweated in their hearts one by one.

He suppressed his anger for a while before he spoke, and asked Wei Qilang: "Wei Qing, this is the third time that you have asked me to retire, and you want me to dissolve your marriage contract, what are you going to do?" ”

"Because I only need one wife, maybe she is not smart, but in my heart no one can compare to her, I think even after a hundred years, Weichen will still choose her, so if there are thousands of calamities, all kinds of difficulties, I am willing to bear all the punishments, I just ask you to fulfill it."

After Wei Qilang finished speaking, he lowered his head and bowed to the emperor in a five-body posture.

Even if life is difficult, he has never been like this, he has never grovelled for anyone, and he has not bent his legs for a woman. But today, on top of this hall, he put down his figure, self-esteem, and everything a man should have for Dong Ru.

Su Liuyu sat in his position, his body and mind were shaken, but his eyes were full of confusion, he looked at the person kneeling there and thought for a moment, but he immediately stood up, and also walked to the center of the hall, knelt down and said lightly: "The grass people respectfully ask for Sheng'an, now that they are sick, they also want to resign from the world and ask the emperor to fulfill it." ”

He called himself a grass man, and his tone was indifferent, but his words exploded on the main hall like thunder, and everyone present was shocked and puzzled, what is Shousuke-sama going to do, isn't it chaotic enough, and there was a slight discussion above the quiet hall.

Wei Qilang also raised his head sharply to look at him, but his expression was elegant and lofty, and he didn't seem to feel that there was anything worthy of scrutiny or shock when he said it, and he glanced at Wei Qilang out of the corner of his eye, and shouted again: "Please fulfill the emperor." ”

Su Liuyu is obviously adding fuel to the fire, but what he is going to do, others can't guess, only he knows.

"It's not the other way around!" There was a loud bang, but the emperor threw the teacup on the ground, and the tea was scattered all over the ground, and when the ministers saw that he was angry, they all hurriedly knelt down and shouted: "The emperor is angry!" ”

The emperor was finally so angry that he roared, and the person also stood up directly with a gloomy face, flicked his sleeve robe and walked down, walked straight to Su Liuyu, and said gloomily: "Su Qing, do you and I have to talk about it now?" ”

Wei Qilang next to him listened, and immediately understood why the emperor was so angry with him, presumably because of Su Liuyuan's death.

I only heard the emperor speak coldly again, but he issued an edict to Su Liuyu to break him away: "General Miao is patrolling the city, since Su Qing has enough time, go and replace him back, and go to the city tower for me to have fun with the people." ”

As he spoke, his expression became even colder, and he glanced at the hall, and saw that the people below did not dare to look at him, and he was even more angry in his heart, at a critical time, one person cannot be used for himself, what is the use of raising so many courtiers. After looking at it for a long time, he didn't look at it anymore, raised his feet and left, and when he passed by Wei Qilang, he said 'come to the study' and walked out of the main hall.

"The minister's decree..."Su Liuyu said with a light smile, then stood up, his demeanor was calm, no one looked at him, his hands were hidden in his sleeves, and he walked out slowly and leisurely alone.
