At night, Yang Shidao came to Cui Junsu's mansion again. As soon as he entered Cui Junsu's study, he smiled bitterly and said, "Old Cui, we have to find a way to get the resignation back."

Cui Junsu smiled but said nothing, and ordered his family to bring a few plates of side dishes and then brought a pot of good Plum wine. He personally poured a glass of wine for Master Yang, and then said with a smile: "I still can't bear to leave the court, yes!"

Master Yang sighed, "Sometimes I really hope that Your Highness, the King of Chu, will never bow his head, I will really go to Hanjiang to fish. It's fine, but he made a mistake. He is really a rare wise king.

, As a minister under such a throne, I can do something and be famous in history. If I really resign, I will feel unwilling to accept it!"

Cui Junsu picked up the wine glass and sucked it carefully. The rich fragrance of the wine made him narrow his eyes. He asked Xing to drink the wine and asked again: "My brother thinks that His Highness of the King of Chu was forced by us.

Do you have to admit your mistake?"

Yang Shidao shook his head, "He is not that kind of person, he will not be coerced by anyone. Besides, the Sui Dynasty has a lot of talents, and it is not bad for us. I think he realized the importance of this matter, which also means that he is

We really value laws, not show off and are willing to set an example."

"You are right. He died in the second lifetime first. He learned his lessons deeply, attaching importance to people's livelihood demands, attaching importance to the division of power and governance, and avoiding du cai. These are all guarantees of long-term stability. In fact, Li Tang did a good job,

Implementing a multi-ethnic system to divide the monarchy was also learned from the lessons of the fall of the Sui Dynasty."

"I don't like the Tang Dynasty."

Yang Shidao did not agree with Cui Junsu's view, "The Tang Dynasty enfeoffed the kings of the Li family and did not dare to touch the interests of the Guanlong nobles. Although the Tang Dynasty was supported because of this, it also cultivated a powerful class. Now, due to the war at the end of the Sui Dynasty, it was sparsely populated.

.It can also be divided into a little bit of benefits to ordinary people. After a hundred years, the population will increase. The land occupied by these royal family members will inevitably become more and more intense, and sooner or later there will be a big chaos. Of course, the premise is that the Tang Dynasty can only win the world.”

Speaking of this, Yang Shidao seemed a little depressed. On the one hand, he was relieved of the King of Chu's mistakes and corrected them. On the other hand, he was disappointed that he was about to leave his post. He voluntarily resigned from his position. Once he resigned, it would be difficult for him to do so again.

Returning to the official career will be unless the crown prince ascends the throne.

But the King of Chu is younger than him. In fact, he retired from the officialdom. Yang Shidao drank the wine in his glass and sighed. "If the King of Chu no longer violates the system because of my resignation, I will be the last one.

Half a lifetime of upset and no regrets!”

His words "no regrets" were filled with infinite melancholy. Cui Junsu looked at him and suddenly laughed, finally tilted his head and laughed loudly.

This unscrupulous laughter made Yang Shidao a little angry. He put the wine glass heavily, "Why are you laughing at?"

"I'm laughing at you! I'm brave and fierce at first, but I regret it after achieving my goal. From you, you can see what it means to be unpredictable."

Cui Junsu shook his head, got up, took out a memorial from the bookcase, and handed it to Master Yang, "Secretary Du came to see me this afternoon, this is for you."

Master Yang was stunned for a moment. He recognized that the memorial was his resignation. He slowly took it over and looked through two pages. It was his resignation, but after commenting a few words, it was Yang Yuanqing's handwriting.

'As a prime minister, you should be careful of your words and be careful of your actions. The public is more brave and cautious but not enough, and the public is in a high position and speaks nonsense. Can you tell if you are wrong?'

"this......"

Yang Shidao's face turned red and a little cramped. Yang Yuanqing actually returned the memorial to himself, which caught him off guard.

Cui Junsu sighed and said, "We should think that His Highness, the King of Chu, cannot be so narrow-minded. If even we both can't accommodate us, how can he accommodate the world?"

Yang Shidao was silent for a moment and said, "But no matter what, we have to give him a face. The King of Chu is wrong, and we are also wrong. Since he can correct his mistakes, why can't we correct them? Just say something like "a high position"

You should also apologize to him."

Cui Junsu gave me a thumbs up, "I have said so much to you tonight, but only your words convinced me."

.........

In the Chu Palace, two candles made the room bright and the incense burner in the corner of the wall lit up, making the room filled with a faint sandalwood. On the couch, Yang Yuanqing was at his desk to review the memorials. He left Taiyuan for more than a month and accumulated

He had to take a lot of memorials back to his house and take time to review it in the evening.

This afternoon, Empress Xiao’s imperial decree was released, and he was punished with a minor crime and was relieved of his position as the Grand Tutor and was fined for half a year. Yang Yuanqing had to admire Empress Xiao for being a human being, understanding his intentions, and being good at judging people’s thoughts.

Once this happens, this matter is over.

At this time, the door was knocked, and his wife Pei Minqiu's voice came from outside the door, "Husband, I have something to do with you."

"Come in!"

Pei Minqiu pushed the door open and she was holding an ivory box in her hand. It was the box sent by Empress Xiao. This matter made her a little difficult to deal with, so she came to Yang Yuanqing to discuss it.

"What's the matter?" Yang Yuanqing put down his pen and smiled.

"Why!"

Pei Minqiu sighed, sat down opposite Yang Yuanqing, put the box on the table, and pushed it to her husband, "This was sent by the Empress Dowager at noon, and said it was a gift to Peihua. Peihua dared not accept it, and

I gave it to me, and I was in a difficult situation. Please help me find out."

"What is it?" Yang Yuanqing was a little curious. What would be the congratulatory gift that Jiang Peihua dared not accept?

Pei Minqiu opened the box and carefully took out a bracelet. The bracelet was covered with diamonds, which were dazzling under the candlelight. Especially a diamond as big as a dove egg flashed with a sea blue light.

Yang Yuanqing took the bracelet and looked at it for a moment. He frowned slightly, "This bracelet is very expensive, but it doesn't make the concubine of the King of Chu dare not accept it, and it makes the Princess of Chu feel embarrassed. Is it so serious?"

"Peihua said that this is one of the seventy-two jewelry pieces of Empress Xiao. Her seventy-two jewelry will never be given to anyone, including Princess Nanyang gave birth to Zen Master Yuwen and asked her for a jewelry piece to Zen Master.

She refused to stop the evil. It is said that she was consecrated by Master Zhiyan of Tiantai Sect. None of the 72 pieces of jewelry can be missing, but she gave one to Qiaolang. This favor is too great."

But Yang Yuanqing smiled. He didn't take the favors as the princess said. So what if Empress Xiao owns 72 pieces of jewelry? If she didn't care about her, she would probably not be able to keep her jewelry for a long time and was stolen by the bandits. I'm afraid

Even she herself would be snatched to be the wife of the village. Empress Xiao looked charming and mature, and was very young, just in line with the taste of those bandits.

It was her protection that she had relied on the rest of her life and could continue to maintain her wealth and glory. Give her son a piece of jewelry, which shows that this woman is smart. Yang Yuanqing knew very well in her heart that this was actually Empress Xiao showing goodwill to her.

.

"It's just a piece of jewelry. Just ask Peihua to accept it and say it was what I said. It's no big deal."

Pei Minqiu also understood what her husband meant. She thought for a while and said, "Okay! I'll accept it, but I still have to thank her in person and give her another gift."

Yang Yuanqing took out a jade pen and handed it to his wife, "This pen is also a precious thing, so I will give it back to her personal favor."

Pei Minqiu smiled and took the jade pen, "I'm worried that I have nothing to give her. It's just right for you to give me a pen, which saves me a good piece of jewelry."

At this time, a housewife outside the door reported: "Your Majesty, Yang Prime Minister and Cui Prime Minister have come and asked for a meeting outside the door, saying that they are here to apologize to the master."

There are two Prime Minister Cui and two Prime Minister Yang in Ziwei Pavilion, but now only Yang Shidao and Cui Junsu are coming to apologize to him. Yang Yuanqing thought for a while and said, "Tell them, just say I've rested, see you tomorrow!"

"Wait a minute!"

Pei Minqiu called the housekeeper, she frowned slightly, and whispered Yang Yuanqing: "Husband, this is not good! They are prime ministers after all."

"I'm already tolerant enough. They dared to threaten me with resignation, but I still forgive them."

"Since you have forgiven, why don't you see each other? In this way, there will be no grudge in their hearts."

"But I feel uncomfortable!"

Yang Yuanqing's face was seyin, "They used their resignation to force me to admit my mistakes. In the overall situation, I have the heart and can ignore them, but I am not a puppet, which does not mean that I have no temper and I feel unhappy. Now I don't want to see them."

”

Pei Minqiu sighed helplessly and said to the housekeeper: "Just do what the master said!"

The housekeeper left, and the atmosphere in the room became a little heavy. Neither of them spoke. Pei Minqiu sighed softly, "Husband is busy! I won't disturb you."

She turned around and wanted to leave, but Yang Yuanqing grabbed her hand and said, "Sit down! Talk to me."

Pei Minqiu smiled and smiled, "I asked the maid to fry ginseng tea. It's probably ready. My husband sits for a while and I'll bring it to you."

She turned around and walked away lightly. Yang Yuanqing was indeed a little annoyed, but he didn't want to impose the unhappiness in his heart on his family. When he watched his wife go out, he shook his head gently, picked up his pen and opened the next memorial.

.........

Outside the palace, Cui Junsu and Yang Shidao stood in front of the steps, waiting patiently for Yang Yuanqing's reception. They were all smart people. Yang Yuanqing accepted their advice with a tolerant heart to avoid being the position of Taishi and being fined for half a year.

He admitted that he had committed a violation of killing the county magistrate without permission.

But Yang Yuanqing's admission of his mistake does not mean that he is not dissatisfied, especially when Lu Yu and Cui Hongyuan are also using resignation to put pressure on him. It can be imagined how angry Yang Yuanqing would be caused by resigning at the same time.

Cui Junsu and Yang Shidao also realized that it was inappropriate for them to put pressure on their resignation. He needed to apologize and give Yang Yuanqing a face.

At this time, the door opened, the housekeeper quickly walked out and bowed to the two of them and said, "Two Prime Ministers, I'm so sorry. The news came from the inner house just now. The master was a little tired and had already rested early. The master will go to court normally tomorrow.

, If there is anything, I will talk about it tomorrow!"

Cui Junsu and Yang Shidao looked at each other, and both of them showed a wry smile. It seemed that Yang Yuanqing was really angry with them.
