After Liu Mingzhi finished reading the contents of the memorial, although he was bowing and saluting, he could still detect the reactions of the officials around him.
In his current state, it would be a bit exaggerated to say that he could see in all directions and hear in all directions, as if his back had eyes. However, it was not a big problem to sense the actions of the officials around him.
Liu Mingzhi seemed a little indifferent to the reactions of the officials and the reaction of Li Ye on the dragon throne.
It was as if it was someone else who wanted to retire and return home, not Liu Mingzhi, as if it was none of his business.
Li Ye finally came to his senses from his daze, and looked at Mr. Liu who was bowing and saluting him with a memorial in his hand, his eyes filled with confusion.
Before Liu Mingzhi went out, he thought about many possibilities. The biggest possibility was that his uncle might want to fight for the leadership of the Northern Expedition.
However, no matter how hard he thought, he could not imagine that his uncle actually wanted to submit the articles of association for retiring and returning to his hometown.
Li Ye's heart was filled with ups and downs, and he couldn't calm down for a long time. After asking himself, he really wanted to agree to his uncle's request.
The pressure that his uncle put on him as the current emperor in the court was so great that he could hardly breathe. As long as his uncle was willing to put down his power and enjoy the rest of his life, he would give anything except the throne to make up for it. Uncle Liu Mingzhi.
Countless gold and silver jewels, high-ranking officials with empty posts, and dancers and singers in the palace. As long as my uncle asks, I can reward him with anything.
But can the current court really leave his uncle Liu Mingzhi?
Several of my imperial uncles now seem to be sensible and polite, not interested in political affairs, and appear to be greedy for pleasure.
But Li Ye knew in his heart that it was because of his uncle Liu Mingzhi, the invincible opponent who suppressed them back then, that they stayed honest.
If there was no uncle, would the uncles...
In addition, my uncle brought up this matter so suddenly, and the imperial court had not drawn up the regulations on how to arrange the twenty-seven houses in the North. If I agreed to this matter, my uncle would leave the court and return home immediately, and what would happen to the twenty-seven houses in the north? Disposal?
There will definitely be a big storm by then.
Now that the Northern Expedition is imminent, the imperial court cannot withstand any disturbances that can hinder the great cause of the Northern Expedition.
Especially how the people of the world will view themselves as the current emperor.
The deeds of King Bingjian in recent years have been widely circulated among the people. Once you allow him to retire and return to his hometown, how will the civil and military officials and the people of Li view him?
Even though my uncle asked him to retire and return to his hometown, his age is too young.
Once word spreads, no one will think that his uncle is retiring and returning to his hometown. Instead, they will think that the emperor is forcing him to leave.
An important minister in his early thirties took the initiative to retire and return to his hometown. No matter what he said, he could not stop others from thinking wildly.
When the birds are gone, the good bow is hidden; when the cunning rabbit dies, the lackeys are cooked.
Others would only think that he, the emperor, was worried about his uncle Liu Ming's great achievements and tried every means to force him away.
In just a short moment, Li Ye thought a lot in his mind, and he thought through the pros and cons of agreeing to whether his uncle Liu Mingzhi should retire and return to his hometown.
Although he was very willing to see his uncle hand over his power, Li Ye did not dare to think deeply about what kind of uproar his uncle would cause after leaving the court.
Because the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became.
All of this stemmed from the fact that my uncle was too young and too young to be able to successfully resolve the matter of him resigning to old age and returning to his hometown.
Li Ye's mouth trembled as he looked at Liu Mingzhi, who was standing there motionless, with complicated and melancholy eyes.
My uncle is taking charge of his army!
This is a dilemma.
Li Ye looked at Liu Mingzhi blankly, wondering how to speak.
Since taking the throne, he has never faced a more difficult problem than today.
If his uncle was the same age as Prime Minister Wei, he could have approved Liu Mingzhi's resignation at any time with a wave of his pen, but he was not that age.
Li Ye was caught in an ideological struggle between a rock and a hard place. The dumbfounded civil and military officials under the dragon stage also recovered from their astonishment. At this moment, they were staring at the figures of Li Ye and Young Master Liu with different thoughts.
At this time, no one dared to speak, lest they get burned.
No one who can sit here is a fool, and they all know that the most obvious thing to do at this time is to remain silent and wait and see.
If you speak at this time, if the issue of permission or rejection is brought to yourself, then you will really offend both parties.
Although the officials remained silent, they had their own thoughts in their hearts. They looked at Li Ye who was sitting on the throne with contemplation, wanting to see how he would deal with Liu Mingzhi's request.
If even the side-by-side king had to retreat bravely and spend the rest of his life away from the temple, I and others would have to make careful plans for their future retreat.
Although many people do not have a deep friendship with Young Master Liu, and even many underachievers have never even met him, one day it is inevitable that their identities will be exactly the same as Young Master Liu.
They are all the ministers of Dalong.
If Liu Mingzhi is allowed to retire and return to his hometown, they will inevitably feel sad.
All the officials remained silent and waited to see what would happen, but one person didn't think so and instead became a little anxious and angry.
This person is Wei Yong, the left prime minister who has just been reinstated.
This old fox knows very well why he was reinstated.
Looking at Mr. Liu's figure standing there motionless with his body bent. Wei Yongkou fiddled with the Chao Hut in his hand and seemed a little restless.
He stared closely at Mr. Liu's figure, his beard trembled from time to time, and he muttered something.
'You bastard, you bastard, what will I do if you retire and return to your hometown? Damn it, you are trying to kill me. '
Wei Yong couldn't sit still when he saw that Young Master Liu was determined to resign and return to his hometown. In addition, the surroundings were so quiet that no one dared to speak out easily.
Glancing at Li Ye, who was sitting on the dragon chair with a complex and changeable expression, Wei Yong took a deep breath and slowly stood up with his hands on the ground.
"Your Majesty, I have something to report."
Li Ye, who was sitting on the dragon chair, was shocked. He hurriedly looked at Wei Yong, who was walking out slowly, with a soothing look in his eyes. Finally, someone came out to rescue him and resolve the embarrassing situation in front of him.
"That's right! What does Mr. Wei Aiqing have to say?"
Wei Yong stopped and stood in line with Young Master Liu, holding the Chao Hut in his hand tightly and bowing in salute.
"Reporting to your majesty, I want to impeach the current king Yizi Jianjian for harboring evil intentions and deceiving the king."
Before Li Ye could breathe a sigh of relief, his heart suddenly rose to his throat after hearing Wei Yong's words. With twitching eyes, he looked at Wei Yong, who was standing next to Young Master Liu, and cursed in his heart.
Old man, are you here to solve my troubles, or are you adding to them?
The officials below also burst into an uproar, staring at the backs of Young Master Liu and Young Master Liu standing side by side with strange expressions on their faces.
It is not that King Bingjian and the Prime Minister of Wei did not have festivals in the past, this is not a secret in the court.
But I have never heard of any deep hatred between the two.
To harbor evil intentions and deceive the king, wouldn't this lead to the death of King Bingjian?
Could it be that there was some unknown life-and-death feud between the two of them?
Young Master Liu, who lowered his forehead, also trembled at the corners of his mouth. He glanced at Wei Yong in a subtle way and cursed.
"Old man, I'm going to knock your mother out."
Wei Yong took advantage of Chaohu's shield and turned his head slightly to look at Young Master Liu, who was also peeking at him.
Wei Yong gave Young Master Liu a strange look, as if to say no more.
Don't leave. We are now grasshoppers on a rope. Where will I be left if you leave?
The traitor has no opponent. Aren't you going to push me into the pit of fire?
Young Master Liu, who was peeking at Wei Yong, noticed Wei Yongde's gaze, his face froze, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and moved slightly to one side.
Damn it, what does this old guy look like?
Why is it so easy to make people tremble and their anus tighten?
However, he probably guessed what Wei Yong meant, and he nodded and lowered his eyebrows without making eye contact with Wei Yong.
It is your own idea to treat me as an opponent who will benefit both sides if you divide them and die if you join forces, but I do not agree!
Do you know what I want to do? Just come up and cause trouble for me.
