Buddhist palace maids want to be rich

Chapter 285 Resignation
In Chengenhou's mansion, he was rewarded in Hefu.

Among the folks, because of the appointment of the crown prince, the emperor pardoned him a little.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Jiang Zhixia secretly freed Xing Ruolan from slavery and replaced her with the status of a good citizen.

Xingzhuangtou was an official slave of the first emperor.

The laws of the first emperor were even stricter, and such officials and slaves were not pardoned.Therefore, Jiang Zhixia didn't think about messing with his body.

However, after Xing Ruolan became an official slave, it is not common for her to be expelled, but she can still be pardoned.

This time there is just such an opportunity, it's hard to say when we will encounter pardon next time.

Therefore, Jiang Zhixia directly released Ruolan's citizenship.

After all, expelling Ruolan from her citizenship was also for Song He.In case the two get married, it's good that Ruolan is a commoner.

However, due to Liu Tiankuo's request, he did not tell Xing Ruolan about this.

Jiang Zhixia took advantage of the fact that the crown prince was registered, and was busy handling the matter of leaving Xing Ruolan's citizenship.She also took time out of her busy schedule to celebrate a sweet wedding anniversary with Liu Tiankuo.

The second day of the wedding anniversary was the tenth day of the ninth lunar month, a ten-day holiday. Naturally, Cheng Enhou and his wife arrived at the Chu Mansion early to visit their son and daughter-in-law.

Cheng Enhou took Liu Tiankuo to talk about things in the front yard.

Mrs. Cheng Enhou seemed hesitant to speak.

"If mother has anything to say, you might as well say it directly." Jiang Zhixia was surprised to see Mrs. Cheng Enhou like this.

Now, everything is going well, what else can Mrs. Cheng Enhou say?

Mrs. Cheng Enhou hesitated for a while when she heard Jiang Zhixia's words, and then spoke to Jiang Zhixia as if making up her mind.

It turned out that on the day when the crown prince was registered, Cheng Enhou felt something in his heart. After returning to the main courtyard of the long house from Song'an courtyard, he thought carefully for a long time in the study.

It took two or three days before Chengenhou told Mrs. Chengenhou that he planned to resign from the title of Chengenhou and the official position of Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

Madam Cheng Enhou was naturally very surprised when she heard this.

This daughter of my own family is in the position of queen well, and the next queen will be at least ten or twenty years away, so why is she resigning the title of Marquis Chengen now?
Besides, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials is a real post, and he is in charge of the promotion and relegation of officials all over the world.Why are you willing to quit?
Cheng Enhou naturally explained it to Madam Cheng Enhou.

Naturally, it was because the first prince became the crown prince, and he himself was the head of the official department, and his son was also the commander of You Yuwei, a second-rank guard with real power.

The Minister of the Ministry of Officials is the head of the civil officials, and You Yuwei of the Guards is the best among the military officials. Both the civil and military ends have fallen to the Liu family.

Before, it was better, after all, the first prince had not been established as the crown prince yet.

But now the first prince has become a prince.

Then someone in the Liu family will give up.Otherwise, with such power, the emperor might feel insecure.

My son is in the prime of life, and I am now over 50 years old, so I should give way to my son.

What's more, the glory that his majestic Cheng Enhou got was enjoyed by such a group of people.Thinking about it, he felt annoyed.

All the forbearance before was for the sake of his daughter and grandson, but now his daughter and grandson are standing up, and his son is also very promising, so he doesn't want to bear it anymore.

After hearing this, Mrs. Cheng Enhou agreed.

Everything is enough to have a child.If it was for her son, she would naturally be willing to do everything.

In fact, Cheng Enhou still had a vague guess in his heart, but that was just a guess and could not be confirmed.So Cheng Enhou didn't mention it to Mrs. Cheng Enhou.

Since Cheng Enhou and his wife had agreed on the resignation of the title and office, they thought about talking to their sons --- this resignation of the title and resignation is a big deal.Now that I have a son, I naturally have to discuss it with my son.

It just so happens that today is a ten-day holiday, and everyone is resting.

Therefore, Cheng Enhou mentioned this matter to his son in the front yard.

Madam Cheng Enhou was considering whether to mention it to Jiang Zhixia.

After all, Jiang Zhixia is pregnant now.

Having said that, I am afraid that Jiang Zhixia will be troubled;

Don't say it, I'm afraid that Jiang Zhixia will feel that she is an outsider and won't tell her anything - anyway, if she is Jiang Zhixia, she will feel so.

Now, when Jiang Zhixia asked, Mrs. Cheng Enhou quickly told all these things.

After Jiang Zhixia listened, he was really surprised.

At that time, people value power, and even more the power in their own hands.

Marquis Cheng En, Minister of the Ministry of Officials has a much better reputation than Commander Liu's father.

Not to mention, this Minister of the Ministry of Officials is a real post, in charge of the assessment of officials all over the world.

If you really resign, this sacrifice is not small.

Therefore, Jiang Zhixia asked hesitantly, "Did my father and mother agree on this matter?"

"It's agreed. It's agreed."

Madam Cheng Enhou was also relieved to see that everything was finished.Naturally, there are answers to all questions.

"This is a real official position. Don't you think it's a pity that my father resigned like this?" Jiang Zhixia asked thoughtfully.

"Your father said that he is getting old, so it's better to retire and pave the way for his son."

Mrs. Cheng Enhou smiled and expressed her gratitude.

At this time, if you don't increase your favorability in front of your son and daughter-in-law, when will you show it?

Sure enough, Jiang Zhixia was a little moved when he heard this.

He is old, what is he, he is not yet sixty.

That Wu Guogong is 66 years old this year, and he still occupies the position.

Although he was also doing it for the good of his children and grandchildren, Cheng Enhou was naturally not old.

The decision on this matter rests with Cheng Enhou and Liu Tiankuo who are talking in the front yard. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are just exchanging news.

Therefore, Jiang Zhixia was no longer obsessed with this matter.

After Cheng Enhou and his wife left and Liu Tiankuo returned to the backyard, Jiang Zhixia asked about it.

"I disagree with my father's resignation, but in the end he didn't listen to me. I just said that in the current Liu family, both civil and military officials occupy high positions. I'm afraid that the emperor will have other thoughts after a long time." Liu Tiankuo said with a frown.

"However, if they all retreat, there will be no civil servants to support the empress in the palace."

Jiang Zhixia couldn't help worrying for the queen.

"It's not that exaggerated. After all, my father has been in the position of Minister of the Ministry of Officials for many years. If it weren't for the empress, he might not be able to be a prime minister. It's just because the Ministry of Officials is in charge of appointing and dismissing officials, so the interpersonal relationship is even stronger. Just a little more. Therefore, just not being the Minister of the Ministry of Officials does not mean that the power of civil servants is gone. What's more, my grandfather was a prime minister, and he has many disciples."

Hearing Jiang Zhixia's worry, Liu Tiankuo said briefly.

Jiang Zhixia knew that she was thinking simply, so she couldn't help but blush, stopped talking about this issue, and started talking about other things.

Therefore, at the court meeting on September [-]th, the officials who had just rested and bathed heard a shocking news as soon as they went to the court hall.

Marquis Chengen, please resign from the title of Marquis Chengen and the post of Minister of the Ministry of Officials in front of the whole hall of civil and military officials.
