Yang Pu stood up quickly, knelt down, and said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, I am old. Please give me the grace to return home after my death."
He is really old and sometimes his brain doesn't work well.
It has been more than forty years since I became an official in the Jianwen Dynasty, and I am really tired.
Yang Pu's resignation was beyond everyone's expectations. No one expected that he would say such words at this juncture.
Cao Nai and others were overjoyed. No one wanted the top position in the cabinet. Now that the position was vacant, they would have a chance.
However, the matter of the Supervisor of Ceremonies is the most important right now.
"Master Yang, you haven't answered the emperor's question yet," Cao Nai kindly reminded.
Chen Xun, Miao Zhong, and Gao Yi also echoed: "Yes, Master Yang, please keep saying something."
Yang Pu looked up and saw Zhu Qizhen staring at him with burning eyes.
Damn it, there are so many of you, why do you insist on me making the decision and bullying an old man in his seventies? Yang Pu was so angry.
No matter how you say this, it will offend people.
The two sides have clear distinctions. If they stand as emperor, their reputation will be ruined; if they stand as cabinet, their retirement will probably be on the line. As for the Sun family, he has not considered it at all.
This is how to do? Yang Pu's old CPU was overloaded and almost smoking.
Finally, he thought about it.
Abstain!
"I thought..." Yang Pu sucked his lips together for a while, then these three words came out, and then his body tilted and he lay on the cold floor, unconscious.
"Yang Qing (Master Yang)." Zhu Qizhen and the cabinet were shocked and stepped forward quickly.
I was vomiting in my heart: Can you faint again after saying this?
This is a damn out of context!
"Send the imperial doctor, send the imperial doctor quickly!" Zhu Qizhen shook Yang Pu and shouted outside.
Yang Pu's eyes were closed tightly, with a slightly painful look on his face: Your Majesty, please be gentle, I don't want to see Renzong and Xuanzong so soon.
"Yang Qing, I can't live without you~" Zhu Qizhen cried out sadly, his performance was a bit heavy, making people look like a drama.
Cao Nai could tell at a glance that the little emperor had bad intentions, and hurriedly asked: "Your Majesty, how should we deal with Wang Zhen?"
"Please make a decision, Your Majesty." Chen Xun, Gao Yi and Miao Zhong said solemnly.
Mrs. Sun snorted: "There are so many things to do, so I can just kill him."
"Do you still have a conscience?" Zhu Qizhen shouted: "Yang Qing is like this, and you are not worried about his safety, but you are still making noise here."
"..." Mrs. Sun and the cabinet were all speechless: It seems that you are the most noisy.
"Yang Qing, Yang Qing..." Zhu Qizhen shook Yang Pu, "I can't live without you!"
Yang Qing was very moved. Of course, if the emperor could lower his voice and stop shaking him so much, he would be even more moved.
…
When the imperial doctor rushed over, Yang Pu had already fainted. He was really faint and was shaken by Zhu Qi.
Zhu Qizhen took advantage of the opportunity and used the procrastination trick: wait until Yang Qing wakes up.
Cao Nai and others were kicked out of the imperial study by him. Sun was not angry and wanted to argue again, but he dismissed them by saying, "Let's discuss it later."
Mrs. Sun was so angry that she gritted her teeth, but Zhu Qizhen's upright and considerate look on his face made her unable to say anything.
You can avoid the first grade of junior high school, but you can't avoid the fifteenth grade. Even the civil servants will not let this opportunity pass easily... Mrs. Sun snorted coldly and left with a puff of sleeves.
Seeing that everyone was gone, Wang Zhen finally relaxed a little.
"emperor……"
"Yes." Zhu Qizhen waved his hand, "Keep your heart in your belly. As long as I am here, no one can kill you."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Wang Zhen was moved and very happy, but also a little worried, "Your Majesty, what if they stalk you?"
Thinking of the last time he was severely beaten, he trembled all over.
Can you not be afraid?
Now he is missing a piece of his ear, and he will never grow it back in this life.
Zhu Qizhen was also troubled by this, and said deeply: "The investigation must be carried out."
"ah?"
"Don't worry, I will let my own people take the lead in handling it."
"Oh!" Wang Zhen looked calm and asked, "What does the emperor mean by asking Dongchang and Jinyi Guards to investigate?"
Zhu Qizhen said angrily, "How is this possible? Jinyiwei and Dongchang are both under the supervision of the Supervisor of Ceremonies. It's strange that they are willing."
Wang Zhengang's joy suddenly froze, and he timidly said: "Should we let the Three Laws Division investigate?"
"Why, are you so afraid?" Zhu Qizhen raised his eyebrows and hummed: "As the saying goes, if you are upright, you are not afraid of slanted shadows. It seems that you have a guilty conscience."
"Uh... yes." Wang Zhen hesitated for a moment, then the bachelor admitted, "Your Majesty, some of the servants did go too far, and they won't do it again in the future. But if the civil servants come to judge, you know what they did. They framed things and framed them. They are just as strong as Dongchang and Jinyiwei."
He said with a grimace: "When the time comes, even if I have three heads and six arms, I won't be able to kill him!"
"Okay, don't worry, you won't die." Zhu Qizhen said calmly.
In fact, Zhu Qizhen knew about Wang Zhen's lawlessness, but he didn't know it in detail enough, but he didn't care.
What he cares about is whether Wang Zhen is beneficial to him in controlling the overall situation. Obviously, after this incident, Wang Zhen can only work harder for him.
Maybe it was just for power before, but now it's about adding one more, including wealth and life.
Because only Zhu Qizhen could protect him, and if he wanted Zhu Qizhen to protect him, Wang Zhen could only do his best to satisfy the instructions.
As a result, the conflict between Wang Zhen and the civil service group will only deepen, making him more dependent on Zhu Qizhen.
Wang Zhen himself understood this, but he had no choice.
The civil servants hated him to the core, and the Empress Dowager Sun wanted to kill him now. Wang Zhen had no choice but to follow the little emperor wholeheartedly. gōΠb.ōγg

More than half an hour later, under the treatment of the imperial doctor, Yang Pu woke up faintly.
"Your Majesty, veteran..."
"How do you feel?" Zhu Qizhen stepped forward and asked.
"I really can't do anything anymore." Yang Pu said with a wry smile, "I beg the emperor to grant me permission to retire and return to my hometown."
Zhu Qizhen could feel his weakness and homesickness, so he asked the imperial doctor: "How is Yang Qing's health?"
"Back to the emperor, Mr. Yang is old and frail, and he really can no longer work hard." The imperial doctor replied.
Zhu Qizhen nodded slightly: "Okay, I'm sure."
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Thank you, Your Majesty for your kindness." Yang Pu almost cried with joy. He had spent most of his life in the temple, and such a long time had already exhausted everything he had.
In addition to being tired, just bored, there is no more original energy and yearning for power.
I can finally go back... Yang Pu's face looked relaxed, as if a huge boulder had been lifted off.
He did not stay and set out on the same day despite his discomfort, without even informing his colleagues and friends.
On the carriage.
Yang Pu raised the curtain of the sedan chair, looked at the imperial city gradually disappearing, and said softly: "I will never come here again in my next life."
After decades of ups and downs in the officialdom, intrigues, factional disputes, ups and downs, it is indeed tiring.
In the second year of Jianwen, he became a Jinshi and entered the Hanlin Academy as an editor. He thought that after a few years, he would be able to return to his hometown and become a county magistrate. Unexpectedly, Jianwen cut off the feudal vassal, and then the Jingnan War began.
After another day, he was selected by Taizong and became a member of the Prince's staff in the East Palace. He thought that if he worked hard with the prince, he would prosper in the future, but unexpectedly, he was imprisoned by Taizong...
Life is always full of drama!
He has been down and out, and he has been brilliant, but if you think about it carefully, in the end, he is just a broken body.
He chanted softly: "When a young man leaves home and his elder brother returns home, his local accent remains unchanged and his hair on his temples fades away; when children see each other but don't recognize each other, they smile and ask where the guests are from."
This poem is not too close to him, but it is very similar.
Yang Pu is very lonely. His former colleagues and friends have long since passed away. The once majestic San Yang is now the only one left.
There is no one left who can exchange letters and talk to someone intimately. Thinking of this, the joy of returning to his hometown as an official has been diluted.
Yang Pu's face was full of loneliness and bitterness, and he sighed: "Alas...what's there to fight for?"
…
Yang Pu is gone, but the struggle for power surrounding this palace continues.

Baoyuan Bureau.
Li Qing supervised the production of copper coins. During this period, he stayed here every day. He didn't steal a copy of "Yongle Dadian" and he felt very uncomfortable.
"Now that the casting of copper coins is on the right track, it won't be of much use if I watch it here or not." Li Qing leaned on the recliner and whispered to himself, "Look for an opportunity to talk to the little emperor. It's better to return to the court. This day will not be over." If you steal the ceremony, I will be scratched all over."
At this time, a high-pitched voice came from outside the door: "Master Li, is Master Li in the room?"
Li Qing stood up and opened the door, "What's wrong?"
The little eunuch said with a bright smile, "The emperor has asked you to return to the court."
"Okay." Li Qing smiled and nodded, "Father, please wait a moment. I will go and explain."
This is really what he wants, and Li Qing is in a good mood.
But he ignored that every time Zhu Qizhen came to him, something bad would happen.
