Chapter 969

At the same time, he also secretly gave a thumbs up to the eloquent veteran driver in his heart. With his wonderful performance like this, then the emperor's anger must be eased.

Not only did he gain some good feelings for him, but he also allowed His Majesty to continue to spread his resentment and anger in his heart to the old party group that continued to remain in the court because of his reasons.

However, at this moment, many old party bosses showed shocked expressions and looked at each other. What the hell is this? Why did the energetic boss Zhu take the initiative to ask for retirement at this time?

"Mr. Zhu, what are you doing? You are a minister of the court. Now that you have made a new contribution, how can you abandon your official position and leave like this..."

"That's right, please think twice. I guess Mr. Zhu must be so tired and confused these days, so he said such words..."

The old party bosses jumped up and down, trying to speak for Zhu Guangting. At this time, the officials of the new party naturally jumped out and praised him unwillingly.

Praise Zhu Guangting, the old party boss, for his retirement, is an example and should be encouraged. Since you are old and confused, you should step down early and give your position to those loyal ministers who are strong and capable of enduring hardships.

The old party here is so terrible. Oh, is it related to your new party half a coin if our boss retires? Don’t be treacherous here if you have the ability.

The new party is naturally not willing to be outdone. I am also a loyal minister who loves the court and the Song Dynasty. Since he is an official of the Song Dynasty, we explain what's wrong, and what can I do if I just urge you?

Both sides expressed their views, and the smell of gunpowder became more and more intense. At this time, Liu Zhi, the prime minister of the Song Dynasty, could not hold back and shouted sternly. "Dear officials, you should not take a good look at what this place is?"

"What's the point of being so quarreling? This is not in the alleys of the city, but in the emperor's front. It's not quiet!"

Following the roar of this powerful old driver, the emperor who had been calm and silent behind the imperial case, the ministers who had gradually recovered their rationality had to bow down to the ranks and apologize to Emperor Zhao Xu, and then they all returned to the train to stand.

"Your Majesty, the old ministers also deeply agree with the many achievements of the Shaanxi Road, the people of the Shaanxi Road, and the court should carefully check the merits and not disappoint the soldiers and officials..."

"As for the matter of Lord Zhu Guangting asking Your Majesty to allow him to retire and retire, I think he should make a long-term plan. I wonder what Your Majesty thinks?" Liu Zhi said kiddingly.

As the leader of the old party, he expressed his recognition and approval of the old party for the merits of the civil and military officials of Shaanxi. At the same time, he neither agreed nor opposed the matter of Zhu Guangting, but only believed that he should be cautious.

He is worthy of being the old driver who has been the chief assistant of the Song Dynasty for a long time. His tricks were really beautiful. No matter the old party, he had nothing to say, and even the new party could only roll his eyes and look helpless.

Zhao Xu had a gloomy face and gently tapped his fingers on the imperial desk. Without saying a word, Zhu Guangting, who had already said the words, was agile and understood Zhao Xu's intention.

"Your Majesty, the old minister has decided to leave. Please do not need to keep him. Even if your majesty does not issue an edict, I will continue to submit a memorial. Your Majesty, until your majesty is kind to the old minister to retire..."

When did this guy become so informed and tactful? Zhao Xu smashed his mouth, so he naturally knew that Zhu Guangting's words were not just for himself, but for civil and military officials in the court.

What it means is that Lao Zhu, I have made up my mind to not stay in the court anymore. Even if the emperor does not agree now, I will not continue to do it.

"Zhu Qing... Forget it, you just returned to Bianliang from Shaanxi Road. The journey was exhausted. It was really hard. You should go back to the mansion to recuperate for a few days. If you have confessed your feelings, you can report to me directly... I will not be a minister who has made contributions."

Zhao Xu's words, whose methods are becoming more and more sophisticated, seem to appease the old driver Zhu Guangting, but in fact the true meaning is clearly conveyed to Zhu Guangting.

You should have a good rest in the mansion and continue to submit a resignation note. After the show is finished, I will make you retire in a grand manner. Even if you want to have a bad idea, haha, you will be suspended at home. Try moving?

After a lively court meeting, Zhao Xu was able to finally have a breath of vigor. Fortunately, the old man Zhu Guangting did not make any monsters.

What’s important is that the old boy’s deliberate show of kindness and the later Liu Zhi’s words could not change Zhao Xu’s attitude towards the old party, but at least Zhao Xu also understood that he would definitely not vent his anger on the entire old party group.

The current situation of the Song Dynasty cannot cause great turmoil for the time being. At least Zhao Xu understands very well that whenever there is great turmoil in the court, the real profit is not the court and loyal ministers and generals, but those villains who take advantage of the situation.

Think about it, when Lu Huiqing, who studied under Mr. Wang Anshi, was in power, as if he was the most loyal and filial disciple.

However, when Mr. Anshi retreated and placed his hope on him, Lu Huiqing tried every means to suppress Mr. Anshi in order to maintain his position. His ugly face was really annoying.

Previously, Lu Huiqing, who was also on Shaanxi Road, wrote many letters to the hope that he could arrange him to be placed in a more adjacent area to serve the country. However, these memorials were mostly pressed by the old party bosses.

Even if some people were reported to Zhao Xu's imperial case, Zhao Xu, who knew his character, ignored it. If such an ungrateful person is more ungrateful, he would be more stupid.

Therefore, although Zhao Xu was angry with Zhu Guangting's many actions on the Shaanxi side, he decided to deal with the matter in a low-key manner for the sake of the overall situation of the court.

Fortunately, the secret letters were all passed by Su Dongpo and then passed directly into the homeland, and no one knew about them. Moreover, Su Xueshi and other Shaanxi Road officials seemed to feel embarrassed and did not mention it to others.

This can be regarded as retaining the face for the court. After all, if this matter is spread, not only Zhu Guangting and the old party group will suffer from prestige, but also his Emperor Song Dynasty, who appointed Zhu Guangting, will also suffer from face.

Even Zhao Xu didn't want to bear this consequence, so even if he hated Zhu Guangting to the core, he had to suppress his emotions and use a more gentle move to end the matter.

When I arrived at the queen, I first visited the children who were taking a nap, and then I pulled my beloved queen Meng and talked about what happened in the court today.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, at least Minister Zhu finally repents at this time, and he can let this matter be done according to your wishes.

In this way, there are indeed many things that are not right or wrong, and it also avoids chaos in the court. This is great news. Why are you still worried about your Majesty?"
