At the same time, in the imperial study room.
"Resign?" The emperor didn't expect Chu Yan to make such a decision. He was so surprised that he couldn't even close his mouth.
Chu Yan nodded slightly, bowed calmly and said, "This decision was made after careful consideration by the minister, and I ask His Majesty to agree."
The emperor was really frightened by Chu Yan's decision. He had known Chu Yan for more than 30 years, and he knew Chu Yan best. Now he could guess what Chu Yan was thinking. He didn't even think about it at the time. He said: "You don't have to think too much, this time..."
Before the emperor could finish speaking, Chu Yan interrupted the emperor: "You also know that this minister is not very promising. In this life, he has been set up by court affairs for the past twenty years. My family has often angered me because of this." Now seeing that there is nothing in Beijing that I have to use my minister to do, I just want to resign from this position and spend the rest of my life traveling around the mountains and rivers with Yan'er. Compared to worrying about court affairs all day long in Beijing, Chen I still prefer to spend the rest of my life with Yan Er as a pair of immortal couples."
The emperor still insisted: "Now that something like this has happened in the court, 20% of the officials are vacant, and I still need your help in selecting officials."
No matter what the emperor said, Chu Yan's attitude was also resolute. He put the military amulet he had prepared early on on the emperor's case, and simply said: "Anyway, I have resigned as an official. If you don't agree, I will You might just sneak away one night."
Hearing Chu Yan's words, the emperor smiled helplessly: "If you insist on doing this, I will not persuade you anymore, but you can't quit this official." After saying that, the emperor pushed the soldier talisman to Chu Yan again: " You put this soldier talisman away, if something happens in the future, I will call you back."
Chu Yan, however, looked at the soldier talisman and hadn't stretched out his hand, and said with a smile: "I'm getting old, I don't want to go to the battlefield anymore."
The emperor laughed too.
Looking at the soldier talisman put away by the emperor, Chu Yan suddenly felt as if his body had rested from a heavy burden, and felt extremely relaxed.
He understood that if the emperor really wanted to keep him, he would never let him go so easily.
But this also shows that his decision is correct, the power of Prince Jin's Mansion must not grow any bigger, it is good for everyone that he handed over the military talisman, resigned and left.
This will also give Chu Mu a chance and Xing Minzhi a chance.
In the future, it will be their young people's world.
As for him, he felt that it would be better for him to fulfill the promise he made to Su Yan for more than ten years first.
At that time, Su Yan always wanted to go out for sightseeing, but Chu Han's birth disrupted the plan just as she was about to set off. Later, when the two children grew up, he took Su Yan out a few times, but every time Su Yan couldn't bear to part with her child, and she yelled to go home after walking too far.
The two of them have been tied down by their children for more than ten years. Now that the children have grown up and have their own destinations, Su Yan can go out with him at ease, and he can really promise to spend her life with her It's a double for a lifetime.
The moment he walked out of the imperial study, Chu Yan looked up at the rising sun in the sky, feeling relaxed.
Princess Jinyang stayed in the palace to prepare for the emperor's burial. Su Yan was worried about the situation at home, so she returned home with Chu Yan ahead of schedule. At the door of the house, Chu Yan looked at Xing Minzhi's horse at the door and frowned: "Why did Xing Minzhi come to our house first if he didn't return to the emperor after he came back?"
Seeing Chu Yan's caring look, Su Yan thought it was funny, she pinched Chu Yan quietly: "Didn't it be the same way back then, no matter where you came back from, you had to go and see me first? Why? Only the state officials are allowed to set fire Do the people light the lamps?"
Chu Yan shook his head solemnly and said, then took Su Yan's hand and went straight to Chu Han's room. Before the maid came in to inform, Chu Yan pushed the door open and entered.
Seeing the scene in front of him, Chu Yan frowned immediately, because he saw Chu Han lowering his head and wiping the wound on Xing Minzhi's arm.
Xing Minzhi, a big man, took off his shirt and exposed his arms in front of his daughter!
Seeing this scene, Chu Yan couldn't be more angry. Just as he was about to go forward, Su Yan who was following him grabbed his arm. Su Yan raised her head and gave Chu Yan a warning look, then walked forward quickly. He lowered his head to check Xing Minzhi's injuries.
Chu Han was cleaning Xing Minzhi's wound seriously, but now seeing his father and mother come in, he always felt like he was caught doing something wrong. After all... She is a girl who has not been out of the cabinet. Her arms are a bit out of order. Not to mention that she was bumped into by her father, queen, mother and concubine. She felt shy in the room alone. look elsewhere.
Oh, it's all her uncle's fault. She had said long ago that she would call the doctor, but he just let himself do it...
Chu Han was thinking wildly when he heard Su Yan ask: "Did you get hurt last night?"
To be honest, Xing Minzhi was a little embarrassed to be caught fooling the little girl, but Chu Han was blamed, so he immediately explained for Chu Han: "Yes, originally Han'er said to call the doctor, I think Seeing that the injury was not serious, I asked Han'er to bandage it for me."
Su Yan is someone who has been here, and she doesn't understand the careful thoughts of these young girls. She didn't say anything, but just lowered her head to check. The wound is not too deep. After simple cleaning and disinfection, Su Yan took the medicine powder and gave it to Xing Min. , took the bandage and tied it up neatly for him.
Xing Minzhi put on his clothes immediately, but he still didn't dare to look at Chu Yan's current expression.
No need to think about it, he knew that Chu Yan's face must be darker than the bottom of the pot.
In fact...
Xing Minzhi guessed right.
Chu Yan looked at Xing Minzhi very unkindly, and couldn't help pulling him aside the moment Su Yan finished bandaging him.
Seeing his father's appearance, Chu Han stuck out his tongue quietly.
Chu Yan led Xing Minzhi to the table. He glanced at Xing Minzhi and asked while pouring tea, "Will you regret it in the future?"
Xing Minzhi was taken aback for a moment, and then realized what Chu Yan asked him, and he smiled lightly: "I am not the son of the late emperor, so why regret it?"
Looking at Xing Minzhi with a determined face, Chu Yan showed him a rare smile.
Turning to look at her daughter who was shaking Su Yan's arm and acting coquettishly, Chu Yan said: "In the future, you must treat sister Han better."
Xing Minzhi didn't know why Chu Yan said such a sentence suddenly, but he immediately reacted, and promised very seriously: "Don't worry, I will treat Han'er the same way you treated the princess. I will never let her suffer a bit."
This answer can be said to please Chu Yan. He hummed and took a sip of tea, his face looked better.
Xing Minzhi continued to actively find topics to talk to Chu Yan: "Everything went smoothly last night, but... the prince is not afraid that after this incident, the emperor will be on guard against you?"
But Chu Yan said something unexpected: "I have resigned from the emperor."
As soon as these words came out, not only Xing Minzhi, but also Su Yan and Chu Han who were speaking at the side were taken aback, and looked at the calm Chu Yan in disbelief.
