On the second day, inside the Peace Hall of the Imperial Palace

The old Prime Minister Yang looked sadly at the familiar face in front of him, tears pouring out like rain.

His eldest son Yang Zhenggang recently made a huge mistake, which brought great shame to the Yang family and the entire court.

As an honest and upright court official, Prime Minister Yang had no face to face the Holy Emperor and decided to resign from his official post and return to his hometown.

During this sad morning, he decided to talk to the emperor and express his guilt and grief.

Prime Minister Yang slowly walked to the dragon chair, knelt down on the ground, and said in a trembling voice:

"The humble minister's incompetent teaching has led to the eldest son making a big mistake. I am unworthy of the Lord who has been holy for thousands of years!

I have no face to hold an official position again, and I would like to resign from this position, retire and return to my hometown. "

Yan Mingjue's face was cold, and he stared sternly at Prime Minister Yang who was kneeling on the ground, his expression full of disappointment and anger.

"Prime Minister Yang, your son really disappoints me! Now the reputation of the imperial court and the palace has been seriously damaged! The Yang family is a scholarly family, how can there be such a scum?"

Prime Minister Yang lowered his head in pain, and tears finally couldn't help but flow out.

"Your Majesty... your eldest son is indeed extremely absurd and his evil deeds are unbearable.

As a father, I feel deeply guilty, but I can no longer undo his mistakes.

I have no face to face the emperor, and am willing to resign from my official position and retire to the countryside to express my gratitude to everyone. "

The emperor was silent for a while. The prime minister was an upright man and he could not be implicated in his son's affairs. He sighed deeply.

"Prime Minister Yang, I know your integrity and the way you conduct government. Although you have not personally committed any mistakes, your son is part of your blood.

No matter what, I won't blame you.

Now that you are old and resign from office, I will always remember your contributions to the court over the years. "

When Prime Minister Yang heard the emperor's tolerance, he still looked up shamelessly.

His voice was almost choked as he said: "Your Majesty, even if you can forgive me for my words, I can't forgive myself.

Thank you for your majesty's kindness and not to implicate the nine Yang family members.

Wei Chen taught Wu Fang that his heart was cut by a knife, and he lost his beloved son. From then on, he could not face the Holy One. "

The emperor's eyes softened, vaguely showing sympathy for Prime Minister Yang. "Yang Qing, as a father, you will naturally find it hard to calm down when you suffer such a blow.

But you have to understand that sometimes we cannot control the development of destiny.

What is important is to uphold truth and justice and contribute to the country and people. The thousand-year style of the Yang family will not be shattered by one person's fault. "

Prime Minister Yang listened quietly to the emperor's words and gradually calmed down his emotions.

He raised his head with determination in his eyes: "I accept the Holy Lord's forgiveness. Although I have retired and returned to my hometown, I will continue to be an honest official and use practical actions to make up for the shame of my family."

The emperor smiled slightly and nodded encouragingly: "Okay, Yang Aiqing! I hope you can repent and pursue a style worthy of your father.

Officials who once resigned and went into seclusion were able to pick up the pieces and start over again in the days to come. "

Prime Minister Yang kowtowed several times with gratitude, and the pain in his heart seemed to be relieved a little.

"I sincerely follow the teachings of the Holy One. I am willing to use my life and property to protect the stability of the country and benefit the people! Even if I leave the court, I will do my best for the country in my own way."

The emperor expressed his praise for Prime Minister Yang's firmness and determination and stood up slowly.

"Yang Aiqing, my deep affection for you will not be reduced by your departure.

The court will remember your governance, and your name will be spread throughout the world forever.

After retiring from old age and returning to your hometown, I hope you can find peace of mind in the countryside. "

Prime Minister Yang stood up staggeringly, his grief gradually being enveloped by the relief.

He looked at the emperor and said with gratitude: "I will obey the Holy Instructions and will cultivate my character and live up to your high expectations."

"By the way, Yang Aiqing, you are now over 18 years old, right?

I feel that the new number one scholar, Wen Tao and Wu Lue, is very suitable for the style of a talented woman who has received a daughter. "

After hearing the emperor's words, Prime Minister Yang said with a troubled face: "Your Majesty, my daughter is now eighteen. I have helped her find many good matches, but she rejected them all.

The little girl is now in the right age to get married, but unfortunately Wei Chen is so worried that she refuses to get married.

If the emperor has a suitable candidate, please ask the emperor to grant her a marriage, which will solve the worries of the minister. "

After hearing what Prime Minister Yang said, the corners of Yan Mingjue's mouth raised slightly.

This was the result he wanted. Prime Minister Yang's daughter often stared at him with disgusting wooden eyes at palace banquets in the past, and it was difficult for him not to notice.

I heard that she is proficient in all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy and painting, so now she just happens to be betrothed to the number one scholar, which is quite a good match.

"Prime Minister Yang! Today's new top scholar is rich in literary and military skills and is full of scriptures. A talented man and a talented woman are simply good-looking and talented!

How about I immediately draw up an imperial edict and betroth him to the new top scholar? "

"That's very good. Your Majesty's vision is not wrong. Thank you, Your Majesty, for understanding your wish." Prime Minister Yang said excitedly.

I finally got rid of a disgusting woman, I just need to marry her as a woman and see how she distracts me from now on.

"Hahaha! That's great. Yang Aiqing goes back and has a night's rest. The imperial edict will be delivered to your house tomorrow."

"Farewell, my minister!"

After bidding farewell to the emperor, Prime Minister Yang left the palace with a heavy heart, waiting for his daughter's imperial edict to marry her to the number one scholar.

Nowadays, Yan Mingjue's country is peaceful and the people are at peace. After his daughter marries him, he can return to his hometown without any regrets.

He knew that even if he resigned from his official position, he would not live up to his responsibility as a loyal minister and an upright person.

He will spend the rest of his life with a calm mind, guarding the glory of his family and the tranquility of the country.

Prime Minister Yang resigned and returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, sighing in his heart.

He looked at the chaos in the world and wondered whether the disputes and intrigues in the world really made sense.

Savoring the strong taste of officialdom, he sorted out the heavy seals of title and seemed to be thinking about where to store them.

Prime Minister Yang remained silent, patting his palms with a paper fan casually, and couldn't help but recall a past event.

That was a few years ago, and the Yang family was in great glory. Yangliu is his only daughter. She is as beautiful as a flower and has outstanding talents. She was named the daughter of the prime minister by the court and was called the beauty of the world by the royal city.

She is the envy of others and her beauty is peerless.

I once heard that her piano music was the most wonderful in the world. Today, however, it all seems to be in vain.

Seeing his daughter coming back, Prime Minister Yang sighed and said, "Liu'er, your eldest brother is no longer here. My father is now very old. He resigned today and plans to retire and return to his hometown."

When Prime Minister Yang finished speaking, his eyes moved to Yang Liu who was sitting aside. He saw his daughter's eyes widened with an expression of disbelief. She might still not be able to accept this fact.

Dad actually resigned as prime minister! Yang Liu's heart was filled with excitement, as if the whole world was collapsing.
