Li Xiu was about to resign, so in the next time, he also began to arrange some things, not only the financial supervisor, but also the printing office, but compared with the financial supervisor, the affairs of the printing office are much simpler, the position here is single, mainly responsible for printing, and it has been on the right track before, so Li Xiu does not need to worry too much about it.

In addition to being busy with outside things, Li Xiu also discussed it with his family, and the result was not surprising, Princess Pingyang and Yiniang, Yuechan and others were all very much in favor, after all, when Li Xiu was not an official before, he often had time to accompany them at home, but since he became an official, sometimes he didn't see anyone for a few days, especially when he went to Liaodong this time, he was gone for more than half a year, which made them very worried.

After getting rid of the outside and at home, Li Xiu finally came to the Liangyi Hall to see Li Shimin this day, at this time it was already the time of the wax moon, and it would be the New Year in a while, and there was already a bit of New Year's flavor in Chang'an City, but Li Shimin was busy during this time, after all, he was basically not in Chang'an this year, and now after coming back, there is also a backlog of government affairs to deal with.

When Li Xiu came to the Liangyi Palace, he happened to see Li Shimin was burying his head in dealing with government affairs, and the eldest grandson Wuji was also helping beside him, the two raised their heads from time to time to discuss a few words, and then a government affairs related to the people of the world was decided, Li Xiu saw that they were so busy, so they didn't bother, but sat quietly on the side and waited, Li Shimin and the eldest grandson Wuji's attention was also on government affairs, and they didn't even notice Li Xiu's arrival.

I don't know how long it took, the piled up on the bookcase was processed, and then there were chamberlains who carried it back to the three provinces, and if there was any objection, it would be left for discussion, and if there was no objection, it would be implemented immediately, and the entire court of the Tang Dynasty would also run because of this, as if it was a sophisticated machine, and Li Shimin was the core of this machine.

"Huh? Li Xiu: When did you come? Li Shimin only found Li Xiu sitting there drinking tea at this time, and he couldn't help but ask in surprise at the moment.

"I've been here for a while, but I just saw that Your Majesty and Brother Wuji were busy, so I didn't bother." Li Xiu also smiled at this time.

"I noticed that Li Xiu was coming, but I saw that you had been pondering something when you were sitting there just now, and it seemed that you had something on your mind, so you didn't remind Your Majesty!" I saw that the eldest grandson Wuji also smiled at this time.

"Oh? What's on the colt's mind? Li Shimin couldn't help but ask with an interested expression when he heard the words of the eldest grandson Wuji.

"Ahem, Your Majesty, in fact, the minister came today to bid farewell to Your Majesty!" Li Xiu stood up and saluted at this time.

"What?" Li Shimin couldn't help but stand up in shock when he heard Li Xiu's words, and then hurriedly asked, "Where are you going?" ”

"Actually, it's not where to go, but when I went to Liaodong, I promised Uncle Ma to help him bring back the bones of the Sui army who died in Liaodong, but for some reasons, I couldn't help Uncle Ma fulfill this wish, so I decided to take Uncle Ma and General Qin to Liaodong next year to collect the bones of those Sui soldiers!" Li Xiu opened his mouth to explain at this time.

Although Li Xiu wanted to resign from his official position completely, he also knew that Li Shimin would not let him go easily, and it just so happened that he promised Ma Ye that he would go to Liaodong with him next year, and it would take a lot of time to go back and forth, so he could take this opportunity to resign from his official position, so it sounded like at least there was a valid reason.

"It turned out to be this matter, speaking of which, I have long wanted to collect the bones of those Sui soldiers who died in Liaodong, and I originally planned to send a special official to take charge of this matter next year, since you are going, then it is better to leave this matter to you!" Li Shimin was also relieved when he heard Li Xiu's words, and then spoke again.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Seeing that Li Shimin agreed, Li Xiu immediately thanked him, and did not shirk the task assigned to them by Li Shimin, after all, in the name of the imperial court, it would be more convenient for them to collect the bones.

But soon Li Xiu spoke again: "Your Majesty, Liaodong is a long way away, and I heard that the number of bones of the Sui army is huge, I am afraid that this matter will not be completed in a short time, and the minister may not be able to come back for a long time, but the financial supervisor needs someone to preside over the overall situation, so the minister wants to resign from the post of financial supervisor, and I hope Your Majesty will approve it!" ”

"What? You're going to resign from office? Li Shimin couldn't help but be shocked again when he heard Li Xiu's words, if Li Xiu just left temporarily, it would be nothing, but if he resigned, it would be a big problem, after all, Li Xiu was unwilling to come out to be an official at the beginning, and then he finally let Li Xiu enter the court step by step.

"It can't be said to be a resignation, but the responsibilities of the financial supervisor are getting heavier and heavier, and I sometimes have a feeling of powerlessness, plus this time I have to go to Liaodong, and I really can't manage the financial supervisor anymore, so I want to give up the official position to a more suitable person!" Li Xiu said very tactfully at the moment, in fact, he was also secretly complaining at this time, feudal society is this good, resigning from an official still has to be crutches, it is better to be in the company in the future life, I don't want to pat my ass and leave.

Although Li Xiu said it very tactfully, with Li Shimin's shrewdness, he naturally knew what idea he had in his heart, which made his face sink and his heart sank, and he was very reluctant to let Li Xiu leave, so he was also a hundred unhappy about Li Xiu's resignation, but looking at Li Xiu's appearance, it seemed that he had made up his mind, which made him not know how to decide for a while.

"Donkey, even if you want to go to Liaodong, you can let someone temporarily take over your official position, and it's not too late to take over when you come back in the future?" At this moment, the eldest grandson Wuji also opened his mouth to persuade that he and Li Xiu had a good relationship, although there was a certain amount of competition between the two of them, but there was usually more cooperation, so the eldest grandson Wuji didn't want Li Xiu to leave.

"Brother Wuji doesn't need to persuade me anymore, this is already the result of my previous careful consideration, so please ask Your Majesty for permission!" Li Xiu spoke again at this time, and when he said this, he also took out the resignation fold he had prepared and put it on Li Shimin's desk to show his determination.

Seeing Li Xiu's resignation excerpt, Li Shimin couldn't help but show a complicated expression on his face, that is, he was reluctant to let Li Xiu leave, but looking at Li Xiu's appearance, he was determined, which made him also in a dilemma, if Li Xiu was forcibly left, it might affect the relationship between them, after all, when it came to Li Shimin's position in such a high place, there were too few people around him who could be called friends.
