"Well?..."

Xie Huyong crawled on the ground, was stunned when he heard this, and looked up in shock.

The emperor is right?

What's accurate?

Xie Huyong found out that the emperor had "misunderstood" him and his expression was extremely frightened.

No~, the old minister didn’t mean to ask for retirement!

Although he was seventy-eighty-year-old Prime Minister, he was still strong in his body and strong in his bed. He was still able to fight in the bed. Of course, he could also act in the position of the prime minister and serve the emperor and the court for ten years.

Your Majesty, the old minister is begging you to severely punish Xiao Hunhou, you don’t really want to retire!

According to the normal routine, the Prime Minister should have made three remarks to really retire.

He resigned, and the emperor tried to keep him.

He resigned twice, and the emperor tried to keep him again.

Then he couldn't say it for the third time, and he reluctantly couldn't continue to stay and serve. Because he said it for the third time, he was really quitting.

This is the first time...Your Majesty, you can't do this!

Xie Huyong trembled excitedly, and almost collapsed at this moment, and burst into tears.

Emperor Xiang Yanran stood up from the throne, went down the steps of the hall, helped Xie Hu Yong up, and said in a heavy mood: "I know the hard work and contribution of the old prime minister to me for more than ten years and govern the world.

I rewarded 100 kilograms of gold and 100 hectares of good land. The old prime minister will live a life of his life after he returns. As for Xiao Hunhou, who writes poems randomly, I will definitely punish him well."

"Your Majesty~, the old minister thanks the holy grace!"

Xie Huyong burst into tears and kowtowed to thank him.

He thought the emperor would keep him a little, so he would also use the donkey to go downhill and continue to serve the emperor.

However, the emperor approved his request for retirement immediately.

Even if he was reluctant to give up, he was unable to turn things around.

Xie Huyong took off his prime minister's hat and handed it to the emperor, and kowtowed again to thank him.

He felt sad and stood up staggeringly.

With the complicated eyes of the court officials, he reluctantly left the Golden Palace.

Leaving!

He thanked Hu Yong for taking charge of the Prime Minister's Mansion of the Great Chu Dynasty for more than ten years, and finally it was time to say goodbye to the Golden Palace.

...

Inside the Golden Palace.

Hundreds of kings and court officials looked at each other, Wang Su, Deputy Prime Minister Lu Zi, and the doctoral secretary Cui Haoran... were all silent, silent, all shocked and frightened.

Prime Minister Xie Huyong, who had been sitting firmly for more than ten years, suddenly fell!

The civil servant leader of the nobles of the family resigned!

This is certainly because Xie Zhuxiang was lying in anger by Xiao Hunhou's poem "Pear Blossom Prime Minister", and he resigned in anger, demanding severe punishment for Xiao Hunhou's punishment by retreating as a result. As a result, he was negligent and careless.

However, Xiaohunhou could not let the prime minister resign.

This is the holy will.

The emperor wanted to reform the "annual promotion system", and opponents must be swept out of the court, but were waiting for the Lord Xie to resign in person.

The ministers finally realized that the emperor's intentions were as strong as iron.

It is imperative to abolish the "annual promotion system".

If you obstruct me again, you can only go home after resigning.

...

The censor Kong Hanyou was stunned in the hall, unbelievable.

His greatest hope is to abolish the "annual election system".

But unexpectedly, Xie Zhuxiang suddenly fell?

Xie Huyong was the civil leader of the noble faction of the family, and he was the mainstay of the top ten families in Jinling.

This drastic change came so suddenly that he, Prime Minister Xie's biggest political enemy, could not react for the moment.

The strengths of Xiaohunhou and Prime Minister Xie Huyong are very different, just like eggs and huge rocks, incomparable.

Xiao Hunhou was a suicide-like charge.

But inadvertently, he defeated Xie Hu Yong, the Lord who had been sitting firm for ten years, and completed a final kill.

Successfully captured the enemy's impoverished main camp among the troops and took the general's head.

Prince Xiang Tiange lay under the table, laughing, and his stomach was cramping. After a while, he recovered and came out, sitting seriously on the prince's seat.

Chu Tianxiu scratched his head and saw the court officials around him looking at him in panic.

His face was filled with innocence.

What's the matter with his little husband!

Xie Zhuxiang yelled in anger that he wanted to resign, and the emperor happily approved it.

He did nothing.

No, he did something.

That is to add a gift and give a very appropriate poem "Pearl Blossom Prime Minister" to congratulate the old prime minister's new concubine.

That's all!

The fall of Xie Zhuxiang has nothing to do with him.

...

"I feel deeply regretful to thank the Lord for resigning and retirement!

However, the court should not be without the Prime Minister and the General Officer's Government Affairs for a day.

The Censor Kong Hanyou, you will take over the position of the prime minister!

In addition, Deputy Prime Minister Wang Su, you will take over as the vacant Censor.

As for who will take over the deputy prime minister... Kong Aiqing plans to be elected personally in the past few days, I will see and make a decision."

Emperor Xiang Yanran re-assembled on the throne in the Golden Palace, and his majestic gaze swept across the kings, princes and court officials, and said lightly.

He made the decision and decided completely of this matter.

The new master has taken office, and Xie Huyong wants to come back with shamelessness and seek an official position, that is impossible.

"I accept the order, and I will quickly draft the candidate for the deputy prime minister."

Kong Hanyou was excited and stepped forward to thank him.

The three officials in the court ranked, with the "Prime Minister" leading all officials ranked first, the "Taiwei" leading military and political leaders second, and the "Censor-in-Chief" supervising all officials the most.

His power was originally the smallest, and he could only occupy the Censorate.

However, with the fall of Xie Huyong, he was now promoted from the Censor to the Prime Minister and became the leader of all officials in the court. He could finally make a big move and preside over the institutional reform of the Great Chu Dynasty.

After he was promoted to the prime minister, it became much easier to dethrone the "annual slogan system".

"Old minister receives the order, thank you for your kindness!"

Deputy Prime Minister Wang Su was a little helpless, but he was willing to accept the arrangement.

The deputy prime minister seems to be only one subordinate away from the main and deputy, but in fact he is three positions away from the main and the "three dukes". He must first be promoted to the Censor to the Censor before he has the hope of being promoted to the main and prime minister.

This time, the promotion to the Censorate is also a major promotion for him.

After all, only those who are ranked among the three ministers can be granted the title of marquis!

He is already qualified to be a marquis, and he is just waiting for the right time to propose it.

In the hall, the nine ministers, including the Taichang Lu Zi, the doctor's order Cui Haoran, the Shaofu Xiao Gongwang, the Grand Master Liu Qi, the Tingwei Zheng Jingrong, the Grand Master Yang Chu, and other nine ministers looked at each other.

This position of prime minister should be selected from the nine ministers and senior officials.

"I'm going to discuss it!"

The kings and court officials agreed, and no one insisted on opposing the reform of the annual election system.

All court officials knew that the layout of the Great Chu court had changed drastically.

Kong Hanyou was promoted to the prime minister.

Wang Su was promoted to Censor.

This is equivalent to put Kong Hanyou, the leader of the Confucian sect, among a group of noble officials of the family and became their nominal commanders.

Wang Su, the deputy leader of the nobles of the clan, was placed among the Confucian censors.
