Ding Changhe is now more and more worried about An Ran and his children, and he has indeed done so and has never had anything to do with other women.
But he didn't send them away for the time being. These women were sent to him as chess pieces, and he had to deal with them at the appropriate time.
The Ding family is still short of a bowl of rice, and it's time to settle it now. Aunt Bai and Aunt Wen behaved themselves in Fucheng and did not make any more noise. Yes, if you don’t have children, who dares to make trouble?
Aunt Han often went to Ding Han's place to serve her. Aunt Yu stayed in her yard and rarely came out except to take care of Ding Ping.
If he really leaves the capital, these women will be in trouble. Thinking of this, Ding Changhe wrote another letter and had it delivered to Fucheng.
In the remaining time, he devoted all his energy to the court and personnel transfer. ?.?????.???
People in the capital are now in panic.
The emperor's original strict investigation caused many officials to fall into disgrace.
The officials of the Ministry of Punishment were not vegetarians either. After a long period of torture, they fought with each other and bitten many people.
During this sensitive period, news came from the border that many people in the army were infected with serious diseases, suffering from diarrhea and many red rashes on their bodies.
The emperor was anxious when he heard about this. Disease is contagious. So many soldiers are sick and have no fighting ability. How can the safety of the border be guaranteed?
After Ding Shengkang heard the news, he fell seriously ill again. He was worried about his eldest grandson, so Ding Changhe handed over a sign overnight asking the imperial doctor to treat his father.
A few days later, Ding Changhe was attending to his father's illness again, and was worried that his son, who was on the border, might have an old illness.
He had no choice but to give in, but he couldn't resist his father's pleading. He had to force Ding Changhe to find a way, and he didn't want to see anything happen to his eldest grandson.
The emperor suppressed the situation and did not allow Ding Changhe to resign.
At the next court meeting, Ding Changhe came out again and asked the emperor to resign as minister.
"Your Majesty, it's not just that I'm unwilling to do my best for you, but it's because my father is not in good condition and I'm worried about my children and grandchildren. I'm suffering from an old illness, so please be considerate of me. I'm willing to do my best to calm down the border issues, and I also ask for your permission. I went to the border once, and when my condition stabilized, I left."
The emperor's expression softened and he asked, "Although you have also been in the frontier, what can you do about serious diseases?"
"The climate in the frontier is complicated and different from that in the interior. So I plan to take the imperial doctor and recruit a few doctors with high medical skills from the private sector to the frontier."
Ding Changhe bowed deeply again and said emotionally, "Your Majesty, my son is still in the border area. Not only my father is worried, but I also can't feel at ease. I would like to ask your Majesty for your permission."
Ding Changhe's resignation immediately stirred people's hearts in the court. The regent could no longer control Ding Changhe, and his departure was just what he wanted.
At this moment, a minister immediately stood up and said, "The emperor will allow Ding Shangshu to love his son!"
Someone else said, "Your Majesty, General Ding has spent his whole life fighting for the country, and now he can no longer bear the excitement. If the old general is harmed by this incident, it will be difficult for Master Ding to be a son or a father."
When the emperor looked at these people, he found that most of the people who interceded with Ding Changhe were the regent's people, and some of them were not on good terms with Ding Changhe.
The emperor looked at Ding Changhe who was kneeling down. It happened that Ding Changhe raised his head slightly at this time. The emperor and his ministers looked at each other. Ding Changhe nodded lightly, then quickly lowered his head.
The emperor raised his hand and said, "Ding Aiqing, please rise first. Now that you are resigning, who can take your place?"
After saying this, someone immediately came forward to recommend him.
This matter could not be decided in a few words. After retreating from the court, the emperor recruited a regent, and several important ministers stayed behind to discuss it.
After returning home, Ding Changhe went to his father's house first. Ding Shengkang was indeed in poor health, but not to the point where he could not live without the imperial doctor.
"So, things are going pretty well."
Ding Changhe said with a smile, "Dad, you also know that the regent is now eager for me to disappear. As soon as I showed this intention, he contacted people. I will resign today, and I don't need to say more. All of his people They all worked hard.”
Ding Shengkang still sighed with regret, "You have been with me and your grandfather since you were more than ten years old. It took you so many years to reach this position. To be honest, it is a pity to give up."
Ding Shengkang knew how difficult Ding Changhe's journey was.
Ding Changhe said solemnly, "Father, in this world, there are gains and losses. The emperor has made up his mind to ask the regent to leave the court. He will not allow me to become bigger in the future. If I continue to stay, his spearhead will It will be aimed at me one day.”
As a minister, no matter how capable he was, how could he dare to go against the emperor? Moreover, he was still such a calculating and ambitious person.
"Then who will take your place."
Ding Changhe smiled and said, "There is no regent in charge of the Ministry of War now, but the emperor has appointed a few people. They will definitely choose someone who is easy to handle or who will not deal with me."
"Who do you think will be chosen to replace you?"
"Zhao Gang or Zhou Chengyong will definitely not be able to escape them."
Zhao Gang is in the Ministry of War, he is selfless and does not sell anyone's favors. With such a person, the emperor will definitely feel at ease.
Zhou Chengyong, on the other hand, did not deal with Ding Changhe. They often had quarrels when doing errands at the Ministry of War. The regent also recruited him, but he never made his position clear.
Ding Shengkang smiled and said, "Those are not all the people you arranged.
