When Li Chao walked out of the palace gate, he felt relieved.

Without Liang Guanyu belt, Li Chao left the palace gate with his head, loose hair on his head, and swaggered out of the palace gate. The guards guarding the palace gate were stunned.

Why does Li Xiangguo look like he was caught in a panic? But this kind of thought was just like he was thinking in his heart, which was too ridiculous. There was a palace in it, so who dared to do whatever he wanted in the palace? Even the famous Li Xiangguo would not dare.

"I laughed to the sky and went out. How could we be a weed man!"

Regardless of the strange eyes of the guards, Li Chao shook his sleeves, laughed a few times, recited a poem, and then left.

After leaving Yuliangzhou, the Li family's servants were waiting there. When they got on the bus, Li Chao went home directly.

When he returned to the mansion, Cui Yingying was surprised that Li Chao came back so early. Usually, Li Chao went out to work in the morning and used lunch in the yamen. He did not go home until the evening.

"Why did my husband come home so early today?"

"I quit."

Cui Yingying looked at Li Chao and found that her husband was bare-headed, and even the jade belt on his waist was gone, and there was no goldfish talisman. He only had a purple robe. He understood a little.

"Give Alang a head and bring it with you." She said to the maid on the side.

After stroking the dust on her husband's body, she said, "I quit, I quit, and I just happened to be at home to recuperate."

Li Chao took off the purple robe and threw it aside, sat in the chair, "Don't you care?"

"I am a woman who cares about what I care about. I believe my husband must have his own reasons."

After drinking a cup of tea, Li Chao went to change his clothes.

He simply took a bath first, and his whole body was relaxed before Li Chao got up and changed into his clothes.

A relaxed look.

At this time, he calmed down and thought about it, and Li Chao did not regret his resignation. Today, he did not resign on a whim, nor did he resign in a fake manner.

Even if you think about it carefully, the emperor was angry today, not entirely because of Hou Junji's affairs. The incident of Hou Junji can only be said to be an introduction, and the emperor must have other meanings in his heart.

After all, it was the collision between prime minister's power and monarch's power. It was even said that Li Shimin had always delegated power to Li Qiaoyu before. However, as Li Chao's achievements became greater and greater, the emperor was actually not always talking about it. When the two had a conflict in their ideas, Li Shimin's violent reaction just showed that he had always been worried about Li Chao's power.

Although Li Shimin was angry today, his performance was pretty good. Li Chao took the opportunity to resign, and Li Shimin also agreed angrily.

In fact, both of them may be happy with this result.

This is not Li Shimin's stinginess. Li Chao can understand the emperor's mentality.

No one can violate the imperial power. When Li Shimin realized that he was threatened, even if he was generous, he would be furious.

If Li Chao was willing to give in to a step back and let Hou Junji go, things would not have come to this point. But Li Chao didn't want to give in, not just because of Hou Junji himself.

It’s better to quit. With his reputation and merits today, Li Shimin is afraid that he will feel uncomfortable all the time. It shows that he may not admit that he will not be able to tolerate Li Chao, but that’s the case.

Maybe Li Chao is too careful, but Li Chao doesn't want to get to that point.

In early September, the weather is cool.

Under the tree in the yard, I lay on a rattan chair, drinking tea and reading books, and I was very leisurely.

However, Li Chao's resignation was soon spread, which caused a major earthquake in Xiangyang. Countless people were surprised that Li Xiang was so awesome, so why did he resign if he resigned, and the emperor agreed.

Many people sighed that this year the court had been considered a major earthquake. The Censor Liu Shi was demoted to a civilian position, Yuan Ji was demoted to a commoner, and then Xiao Yu and Chen Shuda were dismissed from prime minister, and now Li Chao has resigned.

Cheng Yaojin was the first to come to the door.

As soon as he came in, he rushed directly to the garden, sat in front of Li Chao, picked up the purple clay tea and drank it in his mouth. Li Chao's eyes twitched, "It's right, this guy is a real Duke. This year he has also married Cui Qinghe as his wife, and he has been even more kinship with Li Chao."

But even if he married Cui from Qinghe, Cheng Yaojin still had no change. Every time he came to the Li family, he would directly drink Li Chao's teapot. Whether it was Dahongpao or Longjing, no matter how precious the tea was, he would drink it.

Li Chao felt sorry for another good teapot for him. After Cheng Yaojin drank it like this, he could only change it.

"Wen Yuan, this time I have implicated you. Unexpectedly, you resigned because of my messy matter."

Li Chao put down the book in his hand, "It's not because of you. I'm really tired and annoyed. I want to be relaxed."

"Bad." Cheng Yaojin slapped his thigh, "Isn't it because of Hou Junji? I'm convinced. I don't know why His Majesty insisted on protecting the Hou's surname. It's really disappointing. Tell you, I just left a seal and resigned from his mother's position. I quit. Since I'm happy, then go home."

"By the way, the two lines of poetry you left in front of the palace today have spread throughout Xiangyang. I laughed to the sky and went out. How could we be a weed man? Haha, it's so satisfying. I haven't heard of your poem before, what is the whole poem?"

Li Chao smiled, "Just just say a few casual words."

"What a casual word, this is so skillful."

"You really resigned?" Li Chao asked.

"I've resigned. Since the emperor favors the Marquis so partially, what's the point of being a bird official? I'm not going to do it anymore."

Li Chao knew that Cheng Yaojin was a man with fine and fine texture. On the surface, he looked like a rough man, but in fact he was quite interesting. This man was definitely not a confused person, but rather a ghost person.

As soon as Li Chao resigned, he also resigned immediately. Li Chao remembers this love in his heart.

"Oh, I can't drink tea with wine. Anyway, the official has resigned. If you have time and have time, we will have fun drinking."

"Then let's have two drinks."

Li Chao said with a smile.

At this time, the meeting under the Secretary of the Central Committee ended unhappily.

Li Chao resigned on the spot, leaving eight prime ministers, and no one was willing to draft an edict for the emperor, let alone agree to his pardon.

Li Shimin angrily threw away his sleeves.

As soon as he returned to his imperial study, Li Shimin knew the poem that Li Chao left in front of the palace gate when he left.

"I laughed to the sky and went out. How could we be a weed man!"

Li Shimin smiled as he recited these two lines of poetry.

"Okay, since you're laughing to the sky and going out, then let him go."

Under the Secretary of the Central Committee.

Li Chao and the emperor were both gone, and the eight prime ministers were left, and the atmosphere was a bit solemn when they sat there.

"This matter is a mess." Changsun Wuji broke his silence, "Ma Xiang, do you think you are going to talk to Li Xiang, don't act irritating. This Shangshu Province must be hosted by Li Xiang for a day. You can persuade Li Xiang first and come back to preside over us."

Fang Xuanling also nodded.

Today's incident was a bit too intense. Although he looked down on Hou Junji and was not satisfied with the emperor's blind favoritism, Li Chao was too intense before, so that neither side could come down from Taiwan. No matter what, the emperor or the emperor had to give him some steps.

"Well, I'll ask the Changsun Prime Minister to talk to His Majesty. It's best to talk to the Queen first and let the Queen persuade His Majesty."

Wei Zheng sat there with a calm look on his face, "Li Xiang still has to invite him back, but we have to discuss something first. We cannot give in to Hou Junji for this matter. No matter how much His Majesty wants to protect him, we cannot compromise. This matter cannot be compromised. In this regard, I fully support Li Xiang. If Hou Junji does not kill, it will not be enough to calm the morale and public anger, and it will not be disappointed to the hearts of the heroes and soldiers!"

Today, it can be said that it is the most serious conflict between the prime minister and the emperor since the founding of the Tang Dynasty.

Previously, for the sake of the implementation of the new law, Xiao Yu and Chen Shuda and other prime ministers opposed the new law, which was only the opposition of some prime ministers. But this time, the nine prime ministers unanimously refused to give in to the emperor, and they must severely punish Hou Junji and never give in.

The prime ministers pushed the emperor up.

Changsun Wuji entered the palace with a wry smile to see his sister. He knew that this job would be difficult to complete. The queen has improved a lot recently, and after the spring, she will always be more relaxed.

She also knew what happened under the school of the school today. Now she saw her brother coming and asked carefully about what happened at that time.

"You can help persuade Your Majesty. Your Majesty has indeed passed this time. The man Hou Junji is not worthy of protection."

Changsun nodded, and she said to Princess Changle, "Lizhi, go there to read a book."

"I didn't expect that His Majesty and Li Xiang were still having such a stalemate today."

However, Empress Changsun is also a smart woman. Although she does not interfere in politics, she is very familiar with the situation in the court.

"I'm afraid that Li Xiang's resignation today is not so simple. You know that Wen Yuan, young, but smart. In recent years, he has made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty's expeditions and struggles. In the court, he has also presided over reforms and reforms, and Your Majesty has always relied on it. Li Chao is not the kind of impulsive person, but this time he refused to give his Majesty a little face because of this matter. He made the matter so stiff, and even just got rid of the title under the Secretariat. I'm afraid it was just intentional and deliberately taking advantage of this matter."

"You mean Li Chao had the intention of retreating bravely?"

"Well, Li Chao is too smart. People who are too smart always think a lot. They have high achievements and are always on guard against shock."

"This guy is sometimes very free and easy, but sometimes he is too smart. I don't know what to say about him. Is Your Majesty the kind of person who is suspicious of the heroes?" Changsun Wuji shook his head and sighed.

Thinking of Li Chao who had tried to put on picks several times before, this time he finally found a chance.

"What did Your Majesty think?" Changsun Wuji asked his sister.

Changsun Wuji shook her head. Sometimes she couldn't guess her husband's thoughts, and she was getting more and more difficult to guess. Her husband should have never been suspicious of Li Chao. He didn't have it before, but maybe in the future. This time Li Chao resigned, but her husband did not try to keep him. Although she might be angry at that time, she couldn't figure out the real thoughts in her heart.

"I'll go and persuade Your Majesty later."

Imperial study room.

Li Shimin was circled around the study, and all the eunuchs of the palace were lowering their heads and not daring to breathe. The emperor's appearance at this time made them clear that they did not dare to offend them at all.

Li Shimin sighed and turned around. He gritted his teeth and sighed again and again.
