Compared with this idle job, where he could be careful in the mud at any time, Li Gang was more willing to choose this carefree job, where he only needed to teach students all day long.
This was what a great Confucian scholar liked to do most.
Drinking tea, reading books, studying things, and giving guidance to students when he had nothing to do. What was this?
This was what a great Confucian scholar dreamed of most.
After staying away from disputes, he could study knowledge quietly. At that time, he might be able to leave something that could make the protagonist go down in history in his lifetime.
Li Gang was very excited.
Although he was eighty-two years old at this time, as soon as he got home, he waved his hand and asked the servant to invite the barbecue seller on the street to barbecue for him at night.
While drinking beer and eating barbecue, Li Gang laughed like a child.
His abnormal behavior instantly frightened everyone in the mansion.
Li Gang was so poor when he was a child that he didn't marry his current wife until he was fifty-two years old. Then he had a son when he was sixty-nine years old.
Therefore, the whole family and the people in the mansion doted on Li Xiaozhi even more.
But this was not the case.
It was the case that he had a son when he was old.
Thinking of the past and everything that happened tonight, Li Gang always felt that it was so unreal.
"Master, what's wrong with you in the middle of the night?"
Right at this moment, a young man in plain clothes who was about forty years old entered the study. He couldn't help but frown when he smelled the fragrance of barbecued meat that filled the room and the oil and wine stains that had splattered on the books that Li Gang normally treasured and didn't want anyone to touch.
"It's all right, Madam! Come on, sit down and have a drink with me! "
Li Gang's face was unusually red, and Madam Li was so scared that she hurriedly sat down.
She wiped Li Gang's back.
"Master, didn't you go to the palace tonight to ask the emperor for your son? You … you … "
"Madam, don't worry about Xiaozhi's affairs. And no matter what he does in the future, don't ask about it. This is the Old Man's only request!"
"Why?"
Madam Li was shocked.
But Li Gang waved his hand.
"Don't ask about this matter, and don't bother about it. Our son has grown up. He naturally has his own path to walk!"
"Also, I have something to tell you. Didn't you want me to retire early and enjoy my old age? I, I promise you now. Tomorrow morning, I will ask the emperor to resign! "
Mrs. Li was scared out of her wits.
She hurriedly touched Li Gang's forehead. After confirming that he was fine, she became even more panicked.
In the past, when he was asked to resign, he would always fly into a rage. He was even more strict with his son. But what was going on today?
Not only did he want to resign, but he also wanted her to stop taking care of her son. Why was he so happy?
What exactly happened in the palace tonight?
Li Shi could not understand.
Everyone in the Li Residence was confused.
Not only them.
Tonight, as long as it was an official in the palace, it would be hard for them to sleep.
It wasn't until the gong sounded that everyone slowly got up and drank a bowl of Bone Strengthening Powder. In an instant, they were alive and kicking as they headed towards the palace.
In the Political Announcement Hall.
Since the establishment of the sign-in system, things had gotten a lot better in an instant. Basically, there were no more innocent people who did not attend the court. The discipline in the court had also improved a lot. On one hand, it was because Li Shimin had pulled a large group of people into his camp because of the matter of the locusts. On the other hand, it was because the relationship between the Emperor and the Retired Emperor had been restored. Now, Guan Long, the five surnames and seven wangs, as well as the people of the Shandong nobles, no longer dared to be as arrogant as before.
Once they raised their tails, countless ministers would instantly stand up and point at their noses to be scolded miserably before it reached the emperor's ears. ,
How could anyone who could work in the imperial court be easy to get along with?
No.
"His Majesty has arrived!"
While Xiao Guizi was singing,
Only then did Li Shimin slowly walk forward.
Everyone held the white jade tablet with both hands and hurriedly bowed and shouted.
"Welcome, Your Majesty!"
"Rise!"
Li Shimin sat on the dragon throne on the Nine Steps to Heaven Ladder. After looking around majestically, he asked, "Do you have anything to report today?"
"Your Majesty, this old minister has something to report!"
Before everyone could speak, Li Gang, who had been a good man in the court all his life, hurriedly shouted in a loud and clear voice.
Li Shimin nodded slightly.
"Minister Li, please speak!"
"Your Majesty, this old minister feels unwell now. This year, I'm 82 years old. Thanks to Your Majesty's kindness, this old minister is allowed to teach His Highness the Crown Prince. But recently, this old minister feels that my body is really weak. I always dream of my deceased relatives at night, so this old minister wants to resign!"
"What?"
"The Crown Prince wants to resign?"
"This …"
Hearing this, all the ministers could not help but be surprised.
Hearing this, Li Shimin nodded with a dignified expression.
He sighed and said, "Fine! Although I can't bear to part with you, over the years, you have done a lot for the Tang Dynasty. Since this is the case, I'll allow it! "
"Since the Crown Prince wants to resign, although I can't bear to part with him, I'm not a pedantic person. Come, bestow the Crown Prince's Junior Master the hereditary title of Duke, three thousand strings of money, three thousand shi of rice, and a mansion in Chang 'an Dong City! I'll let the Crown Prince's Junior Master enjoy his old age! "
"This minister accepts the decree and thanks for your kindness!"
