Chapter 285: Acceptance
In front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, Cheng Enhou only said that he was unwell and unworthy of being an official. He also said that he was old and did not want to inherit the title.
When the people in the court heard this, they were in an uproar.
Even the emperor on the dragon chair was stunned.
The people who saw the emperor's expression whispered even more----- this is not a scene between the emperor and Cheng Enhou.
It seems that the Marquis of Cheng Enhou is really going to resign and resign.
The emperor's expression was unpredictable, and he did not make a decision on the spot, but after leaving the father and son of Chengenhou, he asked the eunuch to announce the next court.
The father and son of Chengenhou, who stayed behind, followed the emperor to the imperial study.
"Let's be honest. Why did you quit suddenly? The Emperor who sat down asked with an unpredictable expression.
Chengenhou paused for a moment, and said that now that the crown prince has been established, his son is also in charge of the right feather guard in the guard, and the Liu family is too powerful, he said it all.
After hearing this, the emperor's expression eased slightly. Then, I let them go.
As soon as the father and son of Chengenhou, who had just left, came out of the imperial study, they were invited to Fengyi Palace by the queen mother who got the news.
Seeing this situation, the emperor also relieved his suspicions----- it seems that the queen is also unaware.
After all, the sudden resignation of a high-ranking minister is really confusing.
The queen naturally inquired again in the Fengyi Palace, and Cheng Enhou said what she said in the palace again.
"So, am I bothering my father?"
After listening to the whole process, the queen said in amazement.
Men are ambitious, and their own fathers are even more so.
has been an official for so many years, and suddenly resigned, the sense of loss must not be as easy as my father said.
It's all for her daughter.
"Say anything. Aren't parents all about their children? If you and Tiankuo can be fine, what do I have with this old bone? Cheng Enhou hurriedly comforted.
Seeing that the children's expressions were still relatively serious, he quickly added: "Besides, I'm waiting to hold my grandson now." When the time comes, my children and grandchildren will be on my knees, and I will be very happy in this day. ”
The queen and Liu Tiankuo saw that Cheng Enhou seemed to be really open, so they were a little more cheerful.
After all, this is in the harem, and it is inconvenient for the male dependents to stay longer, so since Cheng Enhou has finished talking about the matter, he hurriedly left Fengyi Palace with Liu Tiankuo.
Not to mention that the father and son of Chengenhou talked to the emperor and the empress about these things in the palace, but also said that the important ministers after the dynasty also had mixed reactions to this matter.
But most people's opinion is that Cheng Enhou is trying to avoid suspicion. After all, the prince was only more than two years old, and the emperor was canonized as the crown prince.
In this way, the prince's maternal grandfather is also a super-grade Cheng'en Hou, and he also has the actual position of the official secretary of the second grade.
The prince's uncle was a military attache under the command of the second rank of the right feather guard.
In this way, the Chengenhou Mansion can really be regarded as a powerful and noisy sky.
At this time, if you want to avoid suspicion, you naturally have to have someone to retreat.
Liu Tiankuo is just a young man, so it is naturally impossible.
And the Marquis of Cheng'en is old, and he resigned from his title and official position, and it is really a good calculation to keep the prince and his son.
The foreign family of those princes had a bad face.
Marquis Chengen is so sensible and interested, when he just established the crown prince, he resigned from his title and official position so decisively, then the emperor will naturally see his benefits.
Seeing the benefits of Chengenhou, the emperor will naturally pay more attention to the crown prince.
If so, what chance do the other princes have?
What's more, as soon as Cheng Enhou resigned like this, some of their previous plans could not be used------ they originally planned to provoke the jealousy in the emperor's heart.
The prince's family, who had figured it out, naturally hurried back to his house and called his staff to discuss what to do.
I didn't know that Cheng Enhou, who had attracted other princes and foreign families like great enemies, went directly back to the yamen of the ministry to deal with official business.
Cheng Enhou went to deal with official business, but in the Cheng Enhou Mansion where he got the news, it was a mess.
The angry Old Lady Liu, the gray Second Master Liu, the iron-faced Third Master Liu, the pale-faced Second Lady Liu, and the gloomy Third Lady Liu gathered together in the main hall of Song'an Courtyard.
"What about people? Haven't found the Grand Lady yet? ”
Old Lady Liu saw the person who came in alone outside the door, and scolded angrily.
"Back to the old lady, the eldest lady went to the Chu Mansion. There were guards guarding the gate of the Chu Mansion, refusing to let our people in. They refused to give an informant. ”
The subordinates who came in to tell the prayers said tremblingly, and at the same time complained in their hearts.
With a 'snap', Master Liu San threw a tea bowl to vent his anger.
However, now Mrs. Chengenhou has hid in the Chu Mansion to clean up, and Chengenhou is on duty in the Ministry of Officials. They really didn't have any other way but to wait.
However, after the Marquis of Cheng'en was on duty in the evening, he only said one sentence, "The resignation and resignation are true", and let them talk about it, they no longer paid attention to them.
In this way, they can only secretly hate it, and only hope that the emperor will not really approve Cheng Enhou's resignation, and there is no other way to do anything else.
In the court a few days later, everyone waited for the emperor's decision on the resignation of the Marquis of Chengen.
Emperor Xu also felt that this was indeed not easy to deal with. I had been thinking about it for many days before I talked about it in the morning of September 19.
In the end, the emperor's decision was to revoke the title of Marquis of Chengen, but to reply to Marquis Chengen's request to resign from the Ministry of Shangshu.
As soon as this resolution came out, the court roared again.
And the people of the foreign faction of several princes are as pale as earth.
took back a dispensable title, but still left a position of real power to the Marquis of Chengen, oh, the current Liu Shangshu.
In this way, it proves even more that the emperor attaches great importance to the crown prince.
This, but it is clearly paving the way for the prince.
This resolution not only shocked the important ministers in the court, but even Liu Yunxuan and Liu Tiankuo were shocked.
Although the position of the secretary of the ministry has been withdrawn, it is not impossible for them to use the power of the minister, but it is more justifiable to retain the position of the secretary of the ministry.
Liu Yunxuan and Liu Tiankuo glanced at each other, and neither of them could hide the shock in their eyes.
However, Liu Yunxuan thought for a moment and walked out of the courtiers.
"Minister, you are old, please resign from the post of secretary of the ministry." Liu Yunxuan said loudly.
Naturally, the emperor was not allowed.
After the dispersal of the dynasty, the emperor left Liu Yunxuan alone.
"I understand the heart of Lord Taishan. However, I will not doubt Lord Taishan. Lord Taishan can rest assured. ”
The emperor said sincerely. Even this folk name was shouted.
Seeing this, Liu Yunxuan was even more unsure of the emperor's thoughts.
However, his intention to resign was real, because he didn't care either, and he still insisted on resigning.
"I really want to be a Mingjun. But Lord Taishan is suspicious? ”
The Emperor said with a stunned look.
Hearing this, Liu Yunxuan didn't dare to say anything more, so he could only continue to serve as the secretary of the ministry.
