Murder and Heartbreaking

The emperor is lax and his duties are unclear. This is not an unreasonable statement. Although Liu Daxia is old, he is not confused. He knows that the emperor is leaving a dignity for him.

If the imperial censor is not strict, he will not be able to take charge of the entire imperial censorship; if the ministers' duties are unclear, the censor of Zuodu will not be able to fulfill his duties.

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

But when one is in a high position and holds great power, no one is greedy for power or wealth.

That's why he came to resign in person instead of handing in a resignation letter.

The Nuan Pavilion was quiet for a few seconds. Only then did Emperor Hongzhi seem surprised and asked in surprise: "Why did the Qing family want to submit their resignation to me?"

Liu Daxia sorted out the words he had thought up on the way here, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, in the eighth year of Tianshun's reign, I was promoted to Jinshi. During the reign of Yingzong and Xianzong, I was no longer useful. Until your Majesty ascended the throne, your Majesty did not give up and promoted me.

He served as the right envoy to Guangdong. Later, because he put down an uprising of mountain bandits, His Majesty, in recognition of his meritorious service, transferred him to the capital.

In the sixth year of Hongzhi, your Majesty sent your ministers to dredge the floods in the Jialu River, and the minister managed it well. Your Majesty promoted him to the rank of Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Household Affairs. In the tenth year of Hongzhi, I was appointed as the censor of Qiandu.

The Xuanfu dealt with military pay for the 12th year of Hongzhi."

Xia Yuan's eyes had narrowed. This old man didn't come here to resign. He just wanted to impress the emperor by recounting his achievements over the years in the name of resigning.

Thinking in his mind, he turned to look at Emperor Hongzhi and saw that Zhu Youtang's eyes were half closed, obviously lost in memories.

"In the past few years, I have been promoted to minister, chief envoy, deputy imperial envoy, and imperial censor of the capital, until I returned to Beijing this year and was promoted to censor of the left capital. Every step is promoted by your majesty, and every step is because of your majesty.

Your Majesty's appreciation, every step is a blessing from His Majesty.

Your Majesty's kindness to me is as great as mountains, and I have nothing to repay you for it. However, I am already very old and cannot handle state affairs. I hope that Your Majesty will consider my old age and frail body and approve my resignation."

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

Xia Yuan's cheeks moved slightly and he swallowed back the sigh. This is the art of speaking. The first sentence was useless and he directly ignored Emperor Chenghua's promotion and reward.

He only talks about the experience of the Hongzhi Dynasty, lists his achievements over the years one by one, and finally attributes them to the emperor's appreciation and favor.

It was called a resignation, but after saying these words, the emperor might not be able to approve his resignation.

It's a pity that I can't comment on the resignation matter, otherwise I will have to muddy the waters for him.

After a long time, Emperor Hongzhi sighed inconspicuously, but the indifference and disgust in his eyes softened a lot. His original intention was to let Liu Daxia retire and return to his hometown, and use this second-grade Zuodu censor to scare the monkeys, so as not to

The other ministers were talking about the imperial edict to confer the title of princess.

But now after hearing this, the generosity in his character broke out again. Thinking of the hard work of this veteran for more than ten years, he softened his heart and couldn't help but said: "Although the Qing family is old, the old people are also mature and prudent.

, and can be more relied upon by the imperial court. From my point of view, let’s put the matter of resignation at a later date.”

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Zhu Youtang suddenly felt regretful. If he refused to resign, who would he find to scare the monkeys?

Immediately he looked at Xia Yuan and asked, "Why do the Xia Qing family seem to be hesitant to speak, but feel there is something wrong?"

"?"

Xia Yuan was a little stunned. How could I hesitate to speak?

His mind wandered around the word inappropriate, and he stood up and said: "No, I think what your Majesty said is absolutely right. In my opinion, although Mr. Liu is old, he is not old and frail yet.

For my sake, it is indeed a bit early to resign now.

And as the saying goes, if a family has an old man, if there is a treasure, Mr. Liu will also be an old man when he stays in the court."

Liu Daxia didn't understand what Old Beibi meant. After hearing these words, he was even more stunned. He couldn't figure out what kind of medicine this bitch was selling.

Emperor Hongzhi also frowned slightly. He didn't know what kind of medicine this guy was selling. Didn't he understand my hint?

"But your Majesty also knows that I don't have any other hobbies on weekdays. My favorite thing is to read medical books, and I forget to eat and sleep without letting go of the books.

I dare not say that my medical skills are superb, but they are also exquisite. According to the observation of the minister Shicai, in just two days, Mr. Liu's mental retardation has become much worse. He must seek treatment from Liu Yuan as soon as possible. There must be no delay.

.

But this brain disease is the most difficult to cure, and it may take three to five years of hard work. Everyone in the government and the public knows that Your Majesty is kind and generous, and considerate of his ministers, especially a veteran minister with outstanding merits like Mr. Liu.

I sincerely request your Majesty to give Mr. Liu a three- to five-year long leave, and wait until Mr. Liu recovers before returning."

At this time, Liu Daxia finally understood what this bitch wanted to do, and the old face that was sticking to the ground had darkened. What's the difference between taking a three- to five-year vacation and resigning?

And this piece of shit not only kills people, but also kills people's hearts.

If Your Majesty really agrees to this matter, then the entire government and the public will know that I have been given a long leave to treat my brain disability.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I am indeed old. Even if Your Majesty does not allow me to resign, I would like to ask Your Majesty to allow me to resign from the post of Zuodu Censor. I am really beyond my ability and cannot take on this important task."

"."

Emperor Hongzhi pondered for a long time, then nodded and said: "Well, since Liu Qing's family said so, I can't bear that the Qing family is too tired, so I will hand over the post of Zuodu Censor to others, and then you will go to the Hanlin Academy to take up the post.

It's quite a leisurely time for me, a great scholar, and Liu Qing's family can drink tea and study every day, which is quite enjoyable."

From the censor of Zuodu, who had the power to supervise all officials, to a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, one can imagine the bitterness in Liu Daxia's heart, but he still kowtowed respectfully: "I thank your majesty for your kindness!

"

"There is no need to thank you. Liu Qing's family will leave first and go back to rest for a few days. When I find a suitable candidate, I will hand over the job of Zuodu Censor to you."

"Old minister, I obey the order."

Liu Daxia responded, then got up from the ground, and then walked out a little lost.

When Liu Daxia walked out of the Nuan Pavilion and out of the Qianqing Palace, Emperor Hongzhi put a straight face on his face and warned: "Don't insult ministers like this in the future. You should be polite."

"Yes, yes, your Majesty said so."

Xia Yuan nodded repeatedly, using me as a spearman, and then turned around and said that I was not generous enough. Is this something a human being does?

Yes, you are the emperor and your father-in-law, whatever you say is right.

Thinking of the word "father-in-law", Xia Yuan suddenly remembered the business of coming here this time, so he started talking again, "Father-in-law, it's time for my son-in-law's wife to go home. It's been three months. How can she stay in her parents' house for so long?"

, this is illegal, and "

"Okay, you don't want to make any more noise. It makes me so upset that I can't even read the memorial. Besides, it's not because I don't want to let him go, but it's Xiurong who doesn't want to leave me and the queen, and wants to stay in the palace for a longer time.

.”

"."

Hearing this, Xia Yuan's eyes widened and he was shocked for a moment. This dog emperor didn't even blush when he said something ridiculous?
