238. No taboo resignation

The eldest grandson Wuji returned home and told his mother Gao about his sister's situation in the palace, indicating that she did not need to worry.

Gao Wrong knew that the girl was fine, and the queen and the emperor's favor would not be threatened because of this, and the heart he was carrying was finally put down.

Chen, the wife of the eldest grandson Anye, was dissatisfied when she learned that her husband had only pardoned the death penalty and was still sentenced to exile.

Because the general order given to them by the court was that the families of all the main culprits involved in the case should leave Beijing within one month after seeing them off.

Now there are still eight or nine days before the time of the general order, and Chen and his sons and daughters have not yet left Chang'an, and they are trying to meet Gao again.

It's just that Gao went to ask for mercy once, and his daughter was grounded for a month. She already regretted it in her heart, and when she heard that the Gao family came to the door again, she refused to see her again.

Chen couldn't see Gao, and secretly cursed her several times at home, and when she saw that the day of leaving Beijing was getting closer and closer, she couldn't help but be anxious.

They came to Chang'an in the fourth year of Wude, and after coming to Chang'an, the eldest grandson Anye did not have leisure, he was arranged by Li Shimin, and has been serving in the court, plus the money in the hands of the Chen family, relying on the influence of Li Shimin and his wife over the years, he has placed a lot of properties in Kyoto.

Now that their husbands are in exile, if they return to Luo Chang's ancestral house, they will be helpless, coupled with Anye's former personality, they will definitely be ostracized by the clan when they go back, and their lives will be very sad.

The eldest grandson Anye has all five poisons, and he is by no means a good husband, and the Chen family has followed him for so many years, and the relationship between husband and wife has long been exhausted.

ran to the Gao family to intercede before, not because the Chen family couldn't give up the eldest grandson Anye, but because they were worried that he would die, she and her children would lose their support, and life would be sad, and now seeing that her husband couldn't keep it, she was thinking about how to stay in Kyoto.

Although the eldest grandson Anye was sentenced, the emperor did not confiscate his family property for the sake of the queen and the eldest grandson Wuji, as long as he did not leave Chang'an and had these properties in his hands, others would not dare to bully them for the sake of the eldest grandson Wuji's brothers and sisters.

Although their family's life will not be as beautiful as before, it is still possible to be this ordinary rich man.

For this reason, after hearing that the eldest grandson Wuji came back, Chen's teeth were bitten, his heart was horizontal, and on the second day of the eldest grandson Wuji's return, he took his ten-year-old son to the door again.

After she came to the Changsun Mansion, she didn't say a word, she knelt directly at the gate, and the subordinates of the Changsun Mansion were taken aback when they saw this, and hurriedly ran in to report it.

The eldest grandson Wuji has just returned from the outside and has a three-day holiday. When the servant came to report, he had just finished breakfast and was taking the schoolwork of the principal's eldest son, Sun Chong.

After listening to the report of the subordinates, the eldest grandson Wuji's face suddenly sank, and the eldest grandson Chong on the side was startled by his father's suddenly sinking face.

"Go and bring them in." The eldest grandson Wuji commanded his subordinates with a calm face.

"Father." Changsun Chong called cautiously.

"Alright, it's time for you to go to school." The eldest grandson Wuji waved his hand, signaling his son to leave. The eldest grandson glanced at his father, didn't dare to say anything more, and turned to leave.

After a while, Chen walked out with her ten-year-old son, Changsun Qi, and as soon as she came in, she pulled her son to kneel in front of Changsun Wuji, and cried loudly: "Fourth brother, please help our mother and son for father's sake." ”

"Your brother An Ye has now been sentenced to popularity, and the return date is difficult to determine, our orphans and widows, if we return to Luoyang, it is really not easy to live, I don't dare to ask for anything else, I just ask the fourth brother to help, let our mother and son stay in Beijing......"

"Second sister-in-law, in my memory, you don't seem to have called me fourth brother a few times, right? It's rare to scream so smoothly today, but he kneels at my feet, if this is seen by outsiders, won't he immediately go to the Yushitai to denounce me?"

"Are they being unkind and disrespectful to my sister-in-law?"

"The queen mother has been punished by His Majesty for a month's grounding in order to save An Ye's love, and now His Majesty has been extrajudicial and pardoned An Ye's capital crime, you are still not satisfied, and you want me to beg Your Majesty to let him take back his will."

"What? Do you think that my eldest grandson Wuji's ability is already great enough to influence His Majesty's decisions at will? The eldest grandson Wuji didn't tell her to get up, just looked at Chen Shi with cold eyes and spoke.

"Fourth brother, I didn't mean that, I just, I just thought that I was a woman's family, with a few children, running back and forth, it was really easy, and it was not a big deal to forgive a few of us to return to our hometowns......" Chen was taken aback, suddenly raised his head, and opened his mouth to argue.

"Second sister-in-law, if I'm not mistaken, you are now forty and six, and your eldest son is nearly thirty years old, he has already married and given birth to children, what is the matter with returning to his hometown with his mother? What's the difficulty? ”

"Your Majesty is so pardoning, you are not satisfied, do you have to force Your Majesty to coin the same crime against your whole family, confiscate the family property, and exile you uniformly, you are satisfied?" The eldest grandson Wuji said coldly.

"No!" Chen blurted out.

"There are still nine days, if within nine days, the second sister-in-law and nephews still show to leave, I will personally write a letter, please Your Majesty deal with it strictly, the second sister-in-law is a smart person, she should know my temperament, I am not my mother, those you can impress her are useless to me, Steward Liu, send off guests." The eldest grandson Wuji stared at Chen coldly and called the housekeeper.

Hey, it seems that my sister's worries are true, I still took the initiative to resign from the prime minister's office, after the Chen family left, the eldest grandson Wuji stood in the study with his hands behind his back for a long time, and let out a helpless sigh in his mouth.

Three days later, the first thing the eldest grandson Wuji did when he returned to the dynasty was to hand over the invitation to the emperor, Li Shimin was taken aback when he saw this, and immediately asked Wang De to summon him to the imperial study after leaving the court.

"Auxiliary, what's the matter with you? I am not really angry with her, and I don't mean to be angry with you...... "Because there are still two days before the queen's grounding expires, the eldest grandson queen has not come to Li Shimin, and Li Shimin still thinks that the eldest grandson Wuji handed over the resignation fold for her business.

"Your Majesty, this matter has nothing to do with the queen, it is a decision made by the minister after careful consideration, three days ago, the minister and Niangniang talked a lot, Niangniang said, my eldest grandson's family is a descendant, too powerful, to the court, to the opposition, and even to ourselves, it is not a good thing."

"After the minister went back, he thought about it, and felt that the words of the mother were very reasonable, this eldest grandson Anye, as well as my uncle eldest grandson Shunde, all proved that this is the case, this prime minister's position, the minister can no longer hold it no matter what, I hope Your Majesty will have mercy and give approval." The eldest grandson Wuji bowed and said.

"Guanyin is really, once in the future, all of them are trying to seek wealth for the family, she is good, she wholeheartedly persuades you not to take power, and you are the same, but the conscience of heaven and earth, I have really never had the slightest suspicion of you."

"Hey, that's it, I understand your thoughts, since you insist on refusing to be the prime minister, I will allow it, but you must not give up the position of Shangshu, I can't do without you, and at the same time, I will give you the position of opening the palace and the three divisions, and you are not allowed to resign." Li Shimin sighed softly and said helplessly.
