On the first day after the wedding, Yuan Zhi was in high spirits.

said that he was pro-government, but in fact, Su Youyi had already handed over the power of the DPRK to him, and there was no difference between the previous court and the previous one.

If you have to talk about the difference, it is probably a different state of mind.

From today onwards, he will officially pro-government, officially facing all the ministers and officials and the people of the world as an adult king.

The ministers saluted and worshipped, "The emperor is safe." ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, be even."

Motoji looked down, and Prince Gong, who was standing first on the left, smiled and looked at him with some relief.

Looking at Su Zhiming, Sima Hu and others again, they also had smiles on their faces.

These people were loyal to Su Youyi in the past, but they were equally happy to see that they were in power, and they will definitely be equally loyal in the future.

Motoji is sure of this.

Because they were loyal ministers, sometimes loyal ministers had more influence on the court than the king, and they were all serving the people of the world, no matter who sat on the throne.

This is the situation that Motoji wants to see.

"Recently, the government has been smooth and there are no miscellaneous things. If you have something to do, let's retreat if you have nothing to do. ”

Yuan Zhi said this, and he couldn't help but feel a little regretful in his heart.

On the first day of his pro-government, there was no major deal to deal with, but it seemed that there was no place for heroes.

Just when there was silence in the lower head, the acting head of the first on the right, Fu Xue Ge, stood up, his beard was gray, and he looked old when he stood up.

"The old minister has something to play."

"Elder Xue Ge, please speak."

Xue Ge Lao held the wat board in his hand and bent down with difficulty, "When Zhou Shoufu died of illness, the Queen Mother and the emperor promoted the old minister to take charge of the post of first assistant, and the old minister was inexplicably grateful. However, the old minister is old this year, and his health is not as good as that of Zhou Shoufu, who was eighty years old, and he is riddled with illness. Therefore, the old minister begged for bones and begged the emperor for permission to return to his hometown. ”

Elder Xue Ge is over seventy years old this year.

At his age, he should have retired a long time ago, but with Zhou Shoufu, an example of being eighty years old and still doing his best in the court, no one would think of urging Xue Ge to tell the old.

What's more, although Xue Ge Lao is in charge of the position of first assistant, the cabinet has actually always been supported by a young and promising mainstay like Su Zhiming, and no one cares about him when he can't always take charge due to illness.

No one cares, but Xue Ge himself doesn't want to live like this.

His old bones should have rested a long time ago, if it weren't for the unstable situation in the court, the queen mother had to ask him to take charge of the first assistant, on the one hand, he didn't dare to live up to the grace of the saint, and on the other hand, he also wanted to fight for more shade for his children and grandchildren......

Now that it is enough, the wedding date of his granddaughter and the second prince is less than a month.

The emperor is in power, it's time for him to retire from this old bone.

Yuan Zhi looked at Xue Ge's old appearance of Long Zhong, he seemed to be much shorter than before when he stood there, he was old, and his back was not straight.

Yuan Zhi saw that his heart was sour, and he hurriedly said: "Xue Ge is not feeling well, hurry up and move the chair." ”

Xue Ge Lao raised his head in surprise, waved his hand again and again, and said that he didn't dare, "The old minister doesn't dare, the old minister really doesn't dare." When Zhou Shoufu was eighty years old, he had never sat in the early dynasty, how could the old minister cross him? ”

"Zhou Shoufu was old back then, but his body was healthy, Xue Ge, you are not feeling well, let's sit quickly!"

The ministers next to him also saw that he was unwell, and they all gently persuaded him to sit, Xiao Jizi had already lifted the chair and put it beside Xue Ge Lao, and Xue Ge Lao had to sit down obediently after resigning several times.

He didn't dare to sit on the top of the chair, but only sat on the first third of the chair as a sign of respect.

Yuan Zhi saw him sit down and said: "Xue Ge is old, it stands to reason that you shouldn't bring it up, I should let you return to your hometown, and you should take care of your old age." It's just that the elder of the pavilion is highly respected, and he is pro-government at the beginning of my life, and there are still many things to rely on the elder of the pavilion. If the elder of the pavilion leaves, I am really reluctant. ”

The ministers below listened to Yuanji's words, but they were not surprised.

On the surface, these words are to retain Xue Ge Lao, and his words are sincere, but after listening carefully, it does not seem like he is really retaining Xue Ge Lao.

The scene always has to be said, otherwise Xue Ge Lao will agree with the beggar bone Yuanzhi, then outsiders will inevitably discuss, is it that Yuanzhi has long been dissatisfied with Xue Ge Lao?

Xue Ge Lao can naturally understand this meaning, he said: "The old minister knows that he is shallow in his knowledge and his strength is meager. After the old minister is old, there must be someone in charge of the cabinet. The old minister is not talented, and he elected Su Ge Lao as the next first assistant, and asked the emperor for permission! ”

For a while, the eyes of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty fell on Su Zhiming.

Su Zhiming lowered his eyebrows and his chin, and looked at his nose and nose.

He was not surprised by Xue Ge Lao's recommendation, everyone was looking at him at this moment, he didn't react well, so he could only continue to listen patiently.

Yuan Zhi was overjoyed when he heard this, and Xue Ge Lao's recommendation was exactly what he wanted.

After he smiled, he was embarrassed again, "Su Ge is naturally a young talent, a leader in the court, and I am also very hopeful. It's just that Xue Ge Lao walked away like this, and I was quite sad. ”

"The old minister is sick and crippled, and it is really not good."

Elder Xue Ge sighed, "Even if you have more than enough heart, but your strength is insufficient, you can only be ashamed of the trust placed in the emperor and the queen mother." ”

After a few tugging, the words were finished, and Xue Ge Lao seemed to have made up his mind.

Yuan Zhi said at this time: "In this case, for the sake of Xue Ge's old body, I have to endure the pain and allow you to return to your hometown." I want to respect Xue Ge's old grade Purple Gold Guanglu Doctor to show my respect in my heart. ”

A pin of purple gold Guanglu doctor, the people who can get this honor in the court can be counted on one hand, and the last one to win this honor is the empress dowager's own uncle, Su Zhiming's father Su Heng.

Elder Xue Ge hurriedly got up, trembling and kneeling to thank him, "Old minister thanks the emperor for his grace." ”

Yuan Zhi said: "As for the question of the first assistant of the cabinet after Xue Ge told the old man, ......"

This matter is very important, Yuan Zhi thought about it carefully, and decided to press it for the time being, "I still have to think about this matter carefully, and I will not discuss it for the time being." ”

He already liked Su Zhiming in his heart, and he could officially hand over the position of first assistant to him after a while.

……

The matter of Xue Ge's old man telling the old man led to the news that Su Zhiming was about to ascend to the throne, which was a good thing, and Yuan Zhi still had a smile on his face.

Xiao Kiko could see that he was in a good mood, "Why is the emperor so happy?" It's not that Xue Ge Lao is unhappy, so I wish he was going to go quickly, right? ”

"Nonsense."

Yuan Zhi smiled and glanced at him, "Xue Ge is so good, why don't I look at him happily?" I'm thinking that my uncle can finally be the rightful first assistant. ”

Xiao Jizi said: "Since the emperor is interested in Su Ge Lao, why didn't Xue Ge Lao recommend it today, and the emperor didn't simply agree?" ”

Yuan Zhi turned around and stopped, with an expression on his face that could not be carved from rotten wood, "Are you still a child from the past?" All thoughts are engraved on the face. As soon as Xue Ge Lao was promoted, I immediately agreed, so where will I put my face? Joy and anger are invisible, this is the spirit of the emperor. ”
