His majesty is not strict, and his ministers are unknown, this is not a trivial matter, although Liu Daxia is old, he is not confused, he knows that this is the emperor leaving him a dignity.

His Majesty is not strict, and he cannot lead the entire Metropolitan Procuratorate; The position of the minister is unknown, and the duties of the imperial history of the left capital are at a loss.

In this case, I can only take this dignity and take the initiative to resign, otherwise I have to be decent.

But in a high position and in power, who does not covet power, who does not covet wealth.

That's why he came to ask for his resignation in person, instead of handing over a letter of resignation.

The warm pavilion was quiet for a few seconds, and Emperor Hongzhi only seemed surprised at this time, and asked in surprise: "Why did the Qing family submit his resignation to me?" ”

Liu Daxia sorted out the wording he had thought of on the way here, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, Chen Tianshun ascended to the rank of Jinshi in the eighth year. When Yu Yingzong and Xianzong were not of great use; Until His Majesty ascended the throne, His Majesty did not give up, and promoted the minister to the right of Guangdong, and then because the minister pacified the bandit uprising, His Majesty remembered that the minister had merit, and transferred the minister to Beijing.

After the minister served as the deputy capital envoy, Hongzhi six years, His Majesty sent the minister to dredge the flood of the Jialu River, the minister governed properly, His Majesty promoted the minister to the left servant of the household department; In the tenth year of Hongzhi, the minister was appointed as the imperial history of the capital, and he handled the salary of the soldiers in the Xuanfu for the twelfth year of Hongzhi."

Xia Yuan's eyes had already narrowed, how could this old man come to ask for his resignation, just in the name of resignation, to tell the merits of these years, wanting to impress the emperor.

Thinking in his heart, he turned his head to look at Emperor Hongzhi, only to see that Zhu Youzhu's eyes were already half-closed, obviously caught in memories.

"Over the years, the minister has been promoted to the servant, promoted to the political envoy, promoted to the deputy imperial envoy, promoted to the imperial history of the capital, and has been promoted to the imperial history of the left capital until he returns to Beijing this year. Every step is a promotion of His Majesty, every step is because of His Majesty's appreciation, and every step is a blessing of His Majesty.

His Majesty's kindness to the minister is as heavy as a hill, and the minister has nothing to repay, but the minister is old, and it is really unbearable for state affairs. ”

After saying this, Liu Daxia slammed his head on the ground and was silent for a long time.

Xia Yuan's cheeks moved slightly, and he swallowed back that sigh, this is the art of speaking, and the first sentence is unusable, and he directly skipped Emperor Chenghua's promotion reward.

Only talk about the experience of the Hongzhi Dynasty, list the merits of his years one by one, and finally attribute them to the emperor's appreciation and favor.

It is called resignation, but when these words come out, the emperor is afraid that his resignation will not be successful.

It's a pity that it's inconvenient for me to leave my beak in this kind of resignation, otherwise I would have to muddy the water for him.

After a long time, Emperor Hongzhi sighed imperceptibly, but the indifference and disgust in those eyes softened a lot, his original intention was to let this Liu Daxia return to his hometown, and use this second-grade Zuodu Yushi to kill chickens and monkeys, lest the rest of the ministers be beaked by the holy decree of the princess.

But now after hearing this, the generosity in his personality flared up again, remembering the hard work of this old minister for more than ten years, but his heart softened, and he couldn't help but say: "Although the Qing family is old, the old people are also old and respectful, and they can be relied on by the court." From my point of view, let's put this resignation later. ”

As soon as the words came out, Zhu Youzhu suddenly felt regretful, if he didn't resign, who would he find to kill the chickens and make an example?

Immediately, he looked at Xia Yuan and asked, "Why does the Xia Qing family look like they want to speak and stop, but they feel that something is wrong?" ”

“？”

Xia Yuan was a little stunned, how could I stop talking?

His mind swirled on the word inappropriate, and he stood up and said, "No, the minister thinks that what His Majesty said is very right." From the minister's point of view, although Lord Liu is old, he has not yet reached the point of old age and physical decline, and it is indeed early to resign now.

And as the saying goes, there is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure, Lord Liu is also an old north nose when he stays in the court. ”

Liu Daxia didn't understand what this old north nose meant, and after listening to these words, he was even more stunned, and he couldn't figure out what medicine this dog was selling.

Emperor Hongzhi also frowned slightly, he didn't know what medicine this kid was selling, didn't he understand my hints?

"But Your Majesty also knows that this minister has no other hobbies on weekdays, and his favorite thing to read is medical books.

I don't dare to say that the medical skills are superb, but they are also exquisite, according to Chen Shicai's observation, in just two days, Lord Liu's brain-dead disease has aggravated a lot, and he must be sentenced to Liu Yuan for treatment as soon as possible, and he must not delay.

But this brain disease is the most difficult to treat, and it may take three to five years. From top to bottom of the government and the opposition, everyone knows that His Majesty is benevolent and generous, and considerate of his courtiers, especially for an old minister with outstanding achievements like Lord Liu.

I beg Your Majesty to give Lord Liu a long vacation of three years and five years, and to come back when Lord Liu is cured. ”

At this time, Liu Daxia finally knew what this dog thing wanted to do, the old face on the ground was already gloomy, and if he took a long vacation for three or five years, what was the difference between that and resignation?

And this dog thing not only kills people, but also punishes the heart.

At that time, if His Majesty really agrees to this matter, won't the entire government and the opposition know that the old man has been put on a long vacation to treat his brains.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly spoke: "Your Majesty, the old minister is indeed old, but His Majesty will not allow him to resign, and the minister also asks His Majesty to allow the minister to resign from the post of the imperial history of the left capital. ”

“.”

Emperor Hongzhi pondered for a long time, and then he bowed his head and said: "Well, since Liu Qing's family says so, I can't bear to be too tired of the Qing family, and I will hand over the post of Zuodu Imperial History to others, and then Qing will go to the Hanlin Academy as a university scholar, where it is leisurely, and Liu Qing's family can also enjoy tea and study every day, but it is also enjoyable." ”

From the Zuodu Imperial History, who held the power to supervise hundreds of officials, to a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy all of a sudden, Liu Daxia's bitterness in his heart can be imagined, but he still kowtowed respectfully and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compassion!" ”

"Thank you for it, Liu Qing's family will retreat first, and go back to rest for a few days, and when I find a suitable candidate, I will hand over this errand of the imperial history of Zuodu with Qing."

"The old minister obeys."

Liu Daxia answered, and then got up from the ground, and then walked out a little dejected.

When Liu Daxia walked out of the warm pavilion and went out of the Qianqing Palace, Emperor Hongzhi turned his face and admonished: "Don't insult the minister like this in the future, you should be elegant." ”

"Yes, yes, Your Majesty said yes."

Xia Yuan nodded again and again, used me as a gunman, and turned his head and said that I was not elegant enough, is this what people do?

Yes, you are the emperor, you are the father-in-law, everything you say is right.

Thinking of the word father-in-law, Xia Yuan suddenly remembered the business of coming over this time, so he began to chatter again, "Father-in-law, it's time for the son-in-law's wife to go home, it's been three months, how can anyone live in his mother's house for so long, this is not in accordance with the etiquette law, and"

"Okay, I'm going to make noise again, and I'm so distracted that I can't even see it. Besides, it's not that I won't let people go, it's really Xiurong who is reluctant to let me and the queen want to stay in the palace for a longer time. ”

“.”

Hearing this, Xia Yuan's eyes widened, and he was shocked for a while, this dog emperor didn't blush when he said something coercive?
