Rebirth of the Blind

Ling Qi didn't stay for a long time. After knowing that Xia was really fine, he asked Xia to pay attention to his body before leaving the palace.

He is already an adult prince, and he can no longer stay in the palace for a long time, not to mention that his brother's people in the dark have been watching him, Ling Qi can only laugh helplessly.He may be happy, his brother is no longer monitoring him for fear of any changes in him, this is also a kind of trust, right?

Ling Qi just left with a wry smile.Maybe he will never see Xia again this time, Ling Qi doesn't think that his self-control is better than his brother's.

After Ling Qi left, Ling Yuancheng appeared in time, and asked Xia as if surprised, "Where's my eighth brother?"

Xia was in a daze for a moment, "The Eighth Prince has already left the palace, does Your Majesty have something to do with the Eighth Prince?"

Holding those cold hands, "No, it's just that I haven't seen him for a long time, and I want to ask him how he is doing recently. He always gets along well with the queen mother."

Xia fell silent.Your Majesty is right. The Eighth Prince seemed a little tired when he spoke just now. Although he couldn't see it, he could still feel it.

"Okay, now that he's gone back, you and I can have dinner together first." Ling Yuancheng remembered the time Xia had every meal.Thinking of Xia waiting for him to eat together in the past, Ling Yuancheng felt uncomfortable again.

The stubborn illness probably didn't make Xia Shao suffer.Now that he is in love with this person, he will give his all until Xia completely accepts him.

Wei Yan and Xiao Yinzi put the food on the table together.Looking at the light food on the table, it is hard to imagine that this is actually an imperial meal.

Xia didn't know clearly, Ling Yuancheng didn't care about eating, and directly fed Xia, which made Xia feel like a pet, and ate half of the bowl half-heartedly, and didn't dare to say anything when his stomach was full, thinking that Ling Yuancheng would continue to feed him, He opened his mouth, but he couldn't help being stunned because he didn't have the food he expected.

Ling Yuancheng naturally did not ignore it, and after ordering people to remove the food on the table, Ling Yuancheng explained to Xia: "I have to drink a cup of soup later, so don't be so full."

Soup?Xia didn't know, so Ling Yuancheng didn't want to talk anymore, walked out with Xia, and took a walk in the courtyard.Doctors say it helps digestion.

Xiao Xizi who came back from the imperial dining room carefully guarded the soup in her hand.

Mr. Wei explained that this is a prescription that His Majesty has not found easily. It is used for the gentleman to take care of his body. He must be safe and protect this soup.

Xiao Xizi stared intently at the things in her hands, naturally she didn't notice that someone was watching him from behind.

In the distance, a person hid behind a banyan tree, looked thoughtfully at Xiao Xizi who was walking away, calmed down his expression, walked out calmly, and then naturally greeted the people he met on the road one after another.

And recently the prime minister's faction is not much better recently, although the prime minister's mansion did not find anything, but they are connected with it, feeling a lot of pressure.After the Eighth Prince Ling Qi came back, he immediately started to investigate the matter of the prime minister's mansion, and sent them to Yushitai one by one in order. In just two days, he had already called 20 people. The feeling of being interrogated day and night was unbearable. .

The latest batch of officials walked out of Yushitai, drove away the carriages that came to pick them up, and then hurried to the secret building to meet up with other colleagues. After the meeting, they walked up to a secret room on the second floor.The second floor has always been closed, no one will go in without authorization, and no guests will come up, so naturally they are relieved a lot.Pushing open the door without looking at it, and then seeing the prime minister sitting on the main seat, all of them bowed and saluted: "Meet the prime minister." It seems that they have been squeezed little by little until only the inside is left, with a sluggish look.

Prime Minister Rui Cheng stood up and made a solemn salute, the eyes bursting out of emotion made the eyes of officials who had been with him for many years couldn't help but blush.

Rui Cheng said guiltily: "During this period of hard work, everyone, it is the old man who made you suffer."

"Prime Minister, this has nothing to do with you, it's Your Majesty. The lower officials can't bear to suppress you like this for a mere beggar. It's a pity that the prime minister has been insulted like this, but he still doesn't know that the beggar is dead. No." The speaker's eyes were full of cruelty, and when he remembered that he had entered Yushitai because of that beggar, he became even more depressed.

If the beggar was in front of him now, he would definitely kill him first before thinking about the consequences.

The prime minister saw the group of officials nodding one after another, but he was not as proud as usual. He didn't show too much emotion on his face, but his eyes were wet, "Anyway, you are all troubled by the old man, and the old man will go to the hospital tomorrow." Chao Qi reports to His Majesty that he voluntarily resigns from the position of Prime Minister, and the Ling Kingdom will depend on you from now on." After speaking, he gradually choked up, "I only hope that in my lifetime, I can see Your Majesty become a wise ruler of a generation, and not be ruined by a man's pampering." This sentence actually told them indirectly that the male favorite was not dead.

Seven days had passed, and according to the fact that there was no news from the palace, Rui Cheng knew the answer almost without thinking.

"Master Prime Minister, no!"

The officials present knelt down one after another, and some infected ones quietly wiped away the tears from the corners of their eyes, leaving only soft sobs and comforting voices in the huge space.

"I have made up my mind, but I don't know who His Majesty will let take this position. I am deeply ashamed that I can no longer protect you. I only hope that the old man will return to his hometown in the future, and the young grandson can still get help from you in the future. "At this time, he is like an ordinary grandfather in the folk, planning for his relatives.

In the end, those people still didn't persuade Rui Cheng, and Rui Cheng didn't use bitter tricks. To him, His Majesty cared about that male favorite to an extraordinary degree. He suspected that he had poisoned him, so he immediately sent someone to the prime minister's mansion to search. Show no mercy.

Despite two-thirds of the court's opposition, His Majesty did not take a step back, and even refused to go up to the court, pressing every step of the way, so that Rui Cheng understood that what His Majesty wanted to express was very clear, that is, you should do it as soon as possible Go, or don't blame him for being rude.

Rui Cheng, who is used to the wind and waves, is not afraid at all. For him, the dignity of the royal family is more important, but... his young grandson is already his only blood. He can think about himself, but he can't think about the future of his young grandson.He has always made his young grandson his successor, but unfortunately at that age, there is nothing he can do if he is still the prime minister.

On the second day, Rui Cheng thought that Ling Yuancheng would not go to court, so he was already preparing to bring the memorial of returning home to Lingao Palace. He never thought that His Majesty had already sat in the main hall, and since he came in, he used a kind of Looking at him with meaningful eyes.

Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I still underestimate you.

Rui Cheng didn't procrastinate, and handed over the memorial to return to his hometown as soon as he came to the court, "Your Majesty, the old minister is getting old, so please Your Majesty to let the minister return to his hometown to take care of his old age."

Ling Yuancheng was very satisfied that Rui Cheng understood current affairs, pretended to hold back a few words, and then closed the paper with a look of regret, "Prime Minister, in view of your contribution to the Ling Kingdom, I will find a good mansion for you, and give it to the Prime Minister. What do you think of a title?"

Rui Cheng didn't move, breathed in a calm manner, then bowed and said: "Old minister, thank you for your grace!"

After retreating from the court, Prime Minister Rui Cheng still showed no emotion, but silently rejected the people who followed him one by one, and when there was no one around, he suddenly softened his body and leaned weakly on the pillar.

Your Majesty is going to take away all his foundations!He, Rui Cheng, has guarded the royal family for so many years, and this is all he got?

Rui Cheng was suddenly confused, was he wrong, was it right or wrong to support His Majesty to ascend the throne?Soon he had an answer.Even though the second prince, Ling Rongheng, was easy to control, he was easily irritable and couldn't help being angry. It was indeed inappropriate to be an emperor, and His Majesty... Even if he was given another choice, he would still choose His Majesty.

That's all, let's unload the burden from now on, and live a good old age.

At this moment, Rui Cheng, the prime minister who once dominated the country, stood up and walked slowly.

Standing in the distance, Li Chong couldn't help sighing as he watched the figure slowly walking towards the palace wall.He was very happy that Jun Zixia was fine, but why did he feel regretful that this person who once regarded him as an opponent left now?

They were destined not to be friends, but...

Li Chong couldn't help thinking, if he also resigned, could they become good friends who share the same interests and drink together in a few years?

Maybe... yes.

After Ling Yuancheng came down to court, he didn't immediately look for Xia, but called his younger brother Ling Qi to Lingao Palace.

Sitting on the throne, the awe-inspiring aura naturally expanded and pressed, Ling Yuancheng fixed his eyes on his younger brother, "Ling Qi."

Ling Yuancheng rarely called Ling Qi by his name, and when he did, it showed that he was very serious.

Ling Qi raised his drooping head.

"What do you think about the prime minister?"

Ling Qi frowned, and said: "Brother Huang acted too quickly. If Yushitai investigates for a while longer, the prime minister will definitely not be able to escape." He has collected a lot of evidence before, and the prime minister could be caught by a little bit more. There is no escape.Resigning in exchange for a family's life, the prime minister's plan is well done, but Ling Qi is very shameless.

Ling Yuancheng disagreed, "The reason why I asked him to resign was to spare his life. It is indeed a crime for him to form a party for personal gain and attempt to interfere with the royal family, but it cannot be denied that he is really loyal to the royal family, and I have clear grievances and grievances." Rui Cheng did For so many years, there has been hard work without credit. Without Rui Cheng, he would not have been able to get this position so quickly, and the person who moved him would have to pay the corresponding price.

What's more, killing them all will easily cause panic in the court.

"Now there is a vacancy in the prime minister, and I want you to suggest someone to replace it."

Almost half of the officials are Rui Cheng's people, and how many others have the qualifications to sit in this position?

The most suitable one is his eighth brother.No one would dare to object to Ling Qi's status as the eighth prince, but it's a pity that Ling Qi's temper is the most suitable place for him, and the prime minister Ling Qi can't do it.

Ling Qi thought of a person, "Brother Huang, there is a candidate for my younger brother, but it's a pity that this person's official position is too low to convince the public."

"who is it?"

"A mere fourth-rank official, Song Shu."

Song Shu, the fourth-rank official who was sent to Qin Yucheng with Ling Qi?

"Why?" Ling Yuancheng asked.

"One is that he has no party affiliation, so he is naturally not afraid of being controlled by anyone. Second, this person has a clear mind, is organized, and is willing to live under other people's official positions. He is considered a talent. In Qin Yucheng, without his organized arrangements, it is estimated that Half of the people in Qin Yucheng will die. The third is that he is stupid and loyal. It is enough for the prime minister to have this talent, but how to make the rest of the people submit is also a problem."

It is indeed difficult for a fourth-rank official to convince the public, but Ling Yuancheng is very satisfied with the three points Ling Qi said.He needs a foolish and loyal prime minister, and more importantly, a prime minister who has no ambition but can do nothing.

In this way, without any preparations, Song Shu was kicked out of the market and became the youngest prime minister in the history of Ling Kingdom.For the next 20 years, Ling Yuancheng was very satisfied with his decision. Song Shu was indeed very suitable for the position of prime minister. With him, Ling Yuancheng saved a lot of effort in making decisions, and Song Shu would not completely follow blindly. Sometimes he thinks it is unreasonable and will bite the bullet and remonstrate, pointing out what is unreasonable.
