Chapter 634 Thinking about the long term (150 months)

The habit of habit is still very terrible. Qi Huizhi did not make any contribution to the Fu court, but relying on his background and qualifications, the literary world's reputation took the post of Minister of Rites. Most people took it for granted after hearing the news, and did not have any doubts. Instead, they praised Zhou Shou's abdication and gave way to the wise.

Of course, many people in the army and martial arts complained a lot about this, but due to the imperial edicts, civil officials will not interfere in military affairs, and military officials are not allowed to interfere in court affairs. The position of Minister of Rites has basically nothing to do with military generals, so they cannot express their opinions on this topic, so they put it behind after talking for a while.

On the contrary, the candidates who took the exam and the students in the university got into trouble. Confucian students celebrated each other. They regarded Qi Huizhi as the Minister of Rites as a sign of the retro imperial examination. They no longer looked depressed in the past, and became arrogant. They were very sarcastic and sarcastic students in other subjects, such as mathematics and Gezhi. As well, these students gradually became frightened and unwilling to review their homework all day long, and began to find ways to inquire about news everywhere. Many candidates with both scientific knowledge were even considering whether they wanted to change their application goals, give up mathematics and other subjects, and picked up the booklet of the time to consider participating in the Jinshi.

After receiving the imperial edict, Qi Huizhi immediately went to the hall to thank King Fu, and then moved into the mansion assigned by the court to him, and began to open the door to welcome guests. In less than a day, Qi Huizhi's House of Rites became the most lively place in Jiazhou City. The outside of the mansion was crowded with officials who came to wait for their visit, and the students' carriages and horses were blocked one mile away.

However, Zhou Shou's mansion gradually became deserted. The scholars who rushed at his door a few days ago disappeared, which made Mrs. Zhou unable to help nagging, "How old are you now? You are much younger than Yang Jiefu back then. In my opinion, you can be an official in the court for at least ten years. Why should you rush to resign? With your qualifications and your son-in-law's position in the court, if you don't take the initiative to give in, who dares to force you to resign?"

"Women's opinion!" Zhou Shou snorted, his tone was full of energy, and he was a little old. Seeing that there was no outsider in the study, he explained in a weak and weak voice, "I just saw Nan'er giving birth to a boy. This time, the Qi meeting went south just for a coincidence. In fact, my resignation has nothing to do with him."

"What's wrong with Nan'er? Isn't it a good thing for her to give birth to Jue'er?" Mrs. Zhou was a little confused by him for a while. "For your grandson's sake, you should have to hold on to be an official for a few more years."

"It is for my grandson that I should resign." Zhou Shou's voice became lower and lower, and Mrs. Zhou came to his side before she could hear it clearly, "In your opinion, if the capital is recovered tomorrow, will my son-in-law be willing to stand under King Fu?"

"You mean son-in-law." Mrs. Zhou immediately took a breath. Obviously she understood what Zhou Shou meant, and from all the previous judging, Li You did not look like she was just willing to be a loyal minister of the Great Wei Zhongxing.

"That's true." Zhou Shou nodded without waiting for her to finish her words, "Now, looking at the world, the destruction of King Yue is only in the evening. When Qian Hua's navy is successful, the King of Yue will be destroyed. The King of Shu is just a dog guarding the household. Now everyone has no mind to conquer the Central Plains. When the Central Plains decides the victory or defeat, they can take down the King of Shu. Xu Shiyong is just a puppet of the Northern Barbarians. Although the Northern Barbarians are quite powerful, in Henan Road, Hedong Road is unpopular, and the strong troops under their command are also annihilated by their son-in-law. From this point of view, the one who can unify the world in the future will definitely be the son-in-law. When the capital is restored, even if the son-in-law wants to be a loyal minister of the Great Wei, I think Yao Guangxiao, Sima Cuo, Wang Ji, and Luo Shiji will not agree."

"What's more, my sister-in-law has no other choice now. Even if my sister-in-law wants to retire after regaining the world, then the emperor on the throne and the ministers in the court may be relieved. I'm afraid that when he resigns from office and returns home, the day of poisoning wine and white silk will be welcomed." Zhou Shou's words became more and more scary, but Mrs. Zhou is not a fool in the countryside. She has also been through history books. After a moment of thinking, she realized that Li You is now in retreat. Apart from ascending to the highest throne, there is no other way to protect her wife and children. She can't help but feel very nervous.

"Don't be afraid, now my son-in-law has the land of the four states, and the land in the world is three parts, and Ding's mouth is half. Everyone knows that this is all because of my son-in-law. As for the prince of Fu, Zhou Shou did not say the words that evaluated King of Fu. "Just as I said just now, my son-in-law has taken the lead in this battle of fighting. As long as there is no major change, it will be a matter of time before it will be a matter of time to ascend the capital in the future and become emperor."

"Since that's the case, why don't you help me with my son-in-law?" Mrs. Zhou still didn't understand his resignation. Wouldn't there be more helpers in the court?

"My son-in-law acts quite differently than the Great Wei Dynasty. Even if I stay in the court, I can't help much." Zhou Shou was a serious Confucian scholar and did not understand Li You's many measures, but these policies that seemed to be contrary to Confucian classics achieved unexpected results, so he became more confused.

"But I know that if someone as handsome as a son-in-law, he definitely doesn't like the foreign relatives to interfere too much in the affairs of the court." With Li You's future promising and he is not adapted to the new era, Zhou Shou began to consider his grandson. "If I had been in the court for a long time, it would not be a good thing for Jue'er. It would be better if I resigned early and left, Jue'er's status in the future might be more stable."

Mrs. Zhou finally understood that if Li You ascended the throne in the future, Zhou Shou would still be in the dynasty. Although it seemed that Li Jue had foreign aid and his eldest son's status was more stable, after careful consideration, you would understand that Li Jue's origin determined that he would definitely be Li You's first heir. If Zhou Shou had a strong power in the dynasty, it would be difficult to guarantee that people would not be suspicious. In addition, Zhou Shou was an authentic Confucian scholar, but Li You did not attach as much importance to Confucianism as the previous dynasty, and maybe he would have concerns about the enthronement of Li Jue for this reason.
