Chapter 160 Resignation
It's not that the second prince is not good, it's just that she married a man who only met once, so how can she trust her for the rest of her life with peace of mind.

It's like a dead leaf in the wind and rain, with no branches to lean on and no tomb to bury.

After the female relatives went out, the flower hall was no longer as relaxed as before. The two masters sat upright in front of Mrs. Song, listening to their father's orders.

Mrs. Song picked up the teacup in hand and sipped it carefully. His cloudy eyes were fixed on the front through the dense water vapor, as if he had made some decision.

"In a few days, the old man will ask the emperor to resign. I am too old to take on a big job. I just want to have my grandchildren and take care of my life."

Master Song Er was terrified, and hurriedly persuaded him: "Why did father say that? You are still young and strong, how can you just give up the position of Jixian Hall University scholar!"

The second master of Song Dynasty was not as smooth as his elder brother's official career. He obtained the doctor of imperial studies only with the help of his father and brother. He is a mere sixth-rank official, and he is not even qualified to go to court every day.

If there is no father's help in the court, it will be difficult for him to move up.

Although nearly half of the adults in the court are his father's protégés, but there is no father to support him, he always feels flustered and unsteady.

"Why, are you afraid that I won't be able to protect you?!" The old man Song was furious.

"You are in your thirties now, why are you still thinking of relying on others! The old man has half his neck buried in the ground, and he might let go someday."

"You act like this, how can I let the old man feel at ease! Do you have to rely on your brother for everything?"

The old man Song scolded him anxiously, blowing his beard and staring at him, which made the second master feel ashamed, and his face turned red and then pale, but the husband and wife were somewhat similar.

Elder Song changed the subject and helped his younger brother out of the siege: "Father did this for Yulan!"

"Yes, and no." Old Master Song said slowly.

The old master Song brushed his long gray beard, and explained to the second son in front of him: "The art of an emperor lies in the balance. The second prince's mother and concubine were born in the Yongwei Hou Mansion. The young master doesn't seem to lean to any side, but to be honest, it's time to come." At a critical moment, will the young master just watch and not intervene?"

"Now with the addition of our Song family, it can be said to be capable of both civil and military affairs. Then Da Qi is the second prince. Forget it. How can he, the old emperor, have the voice to speak."

"Your majesty is using us as enemies! You don't want to see the Song family become the next family, but you also want to use the Song family to unite with the second prince to deal with the third prince. The two sides will fight to the death, so that the prince can benefit and become a great treasure. It’s really a good plan!”

"It means that the Song family will survive this disaster no matter what, they will either cut off their own arm, or be stabbed secretly by the emperor!" Elder Song immediately understood his father's plan, and saw the bright moon through the clouds.

"Father's move can be regarded as a brave retreat, and the Song family's losses will be minimized."

Master Song Tai sneered and said: "My name as the teacher of the emperor doesn't seem to be a big deal, but the emperor is not merciless in using it!"

The old lady Song's eyes flashed, like a simple and simple sword suddenly unsheathed, and said with a cold snort: "Since it is the emperor's intention, then my Song family should be respectful and follow orders!"

"But the cat has three or two minions, and we are not made of mud! Naturally, we will not be manipulated by others. Since we are on the second prince's boat, we must make a living under the new master!"

The old man Song whispered in a low voice, but he spoke in a rebellious and murderous manner, his stooped body did not look like a civil servant, but a fierce military officer.
