Chapter 2685 Resigning From Old Age and Returning Home
Yun Dai glanced at him: "If I remember correctly, Yin Tianci, the Minister of Civil Affairs, is a student of Mr. Xu Ge?"
"Yes. But -"
"My mother knows that this matter has nothing to do with you, so don't rush to explain." Yun Dai raised her hand to interrupt him, "However, Mr. Xu Ge is old after all, and it's time for him to retire and return to his hometown. What do you think, waiter?"
The waiter was slightly startled, silent for a moment, and said softly: "It is up to the father, the emperor, and the empress to decide on this kind of matter."
"Mr. Xu Ge is an important minister in three dynasties, and I have a teacher-student relationship with you. I always want to ask what you mean."
"Can my son go say goodbye to Mr. Xu Ge?"
"Since you have decided to stay in the palace to cultivate yourself, don't go out casually. Mr. Xu Ge is old, so he shouldn't be too excited to avoid anything going wrong."
"...Yes, I understand."
The waiter silently turned around and left Fengyi Palace.
Returning to the Wenhua Hall, the accompanying student Zhou Hong came over and said, "Your Highness, the Xu Mansion has sent another article approved by Mr. Xu Ge. Please take a look."
The waiter took it, looked at it, and shook his head: "There is no need to send articles to the Xu Mansion in the future."
"Why?"
"Mr. Xu Ge will retire and return to his hometown soon."
"How could it be?" Zhou Hong was surprised, "I haven't heard a word of it. Xu Ge is a veteran of the third dynasty. Although he is already eighty, his body is still strong. It makes no sense to retire suddenly."
Xiao Er said calmly: "This is the mother's decision."
"Queen?" Zhou Hong was even more surprised, but didn't dare to say anything more.
It has always been a rule of the Zhou dynasty that the harem does not interfere in politics.
However, since the previous empress dowager spanned three dynasties, this situation has changed a bit.
After all, the late emperor...how to put it, to put it more seriously, was debauched and immoral.
If the Empress Dowager did not control the government, the Great Zhou Dynasty would have been destroyed long ago.
Nowadays, this empress has made great contributions to the imperial court. She is also a princess of the Northern Qi Dynasty. She is the favorite of the current emperor. It seems that it is natural for her to interfere in political affairs.
At first, the officials would impeach the Empress for such behavior, but they were either directly ignored, or the Empress wrote articles to refute them one by one.
The queen's poems were so gorgeous and sharp that she made the officials feel ashamed.
How dare you write again.
Therefore, when Zhou Hong heard that the Empress wanted Mr. Xu, the elder of the Three Dynasties, to go back to his hometown, he was just surprised and then understood.
"But Mr. Xu Ge has a different status after all. How can the Queen be dismissed with just one sentence?" Zhou Hong couldn't help but ask, "Does the Emperor know about this?"
"Without the acquiescence of Father, how could the Empress do it?" After the waiter finished speaking, he seemed to sigh slightly, and his mood was a little low.
Zhou Hong: "Your Highness..."
"I'm fine." The waiter rubbed his face, "Ye Fuxin is gone, Yin Tianci is gone, and now it's Mr. Xu Ge's turn... My mother is removing the ministers who support me in the court one by one."
Zhou Hong felt uncomfortable for His Highness.
He didn't understand: "Your Highness was also born to the Queen. Why is the Queen so partial to His Highness? Why is it that no one in the court is allowed to support His Highness?"
"Yes, why. Even my father allowed Mr. Xu Ge to support me. But my mother did not allow me to cultivate my own power in the court."
"Ye Fuxin and this time Yin Tianci seem to be the handiwork of His Highness the Crown Prince?"
"On the surface, the emperor brother is trying to vent his anger on the queen mother, but in fact, he is just trying to exclude dissidents." The waiter said, "And the queen mother also supports him in doing this."
