Chapter 550: Resigning from old age and returning home
What Prime Minister Wen said was plausible, but he simply said that Yan Fei was not a woman and had insulted her ancestors.
After Prime Minister Wen finished speaking, he did not forget to secretly glance at Wu Yuan's reaction. He did not want to really confront Wu Yuan.
Originally, he planned to go to the theater, but now, a female chief of ceremonies has seriously threatened his status, and he cannot sit idly by.
However, what made Prime Minister Wen's heart skip a beat was that he didn't see any expression on Wu Yuan's face.
But just because there is no expression, it is even more dangerous.
Wu Yuan had no intention of speaking and allowed these people to talk nonsense.
Yan Fei was no longer nervous now and was watching with the same cold eyes, but she had already made up her mind to fight for the position of Chief Ceremony Officer.
Yan Fei is sure that Wu Yuan must know exactly how to spell it.
When these people had said enough and could no longer say anything, Wu Yuan finally took out his ears and said, "Is it all over?"
Prime Minister Wen smiled bitterly. He didn't know why Wu Yuan had to take the risk of breaking with the ministers and insist on appointing the Chief of Ceremonies. But looking at Wu Yuan's look, Prime Minister Wen knew that this matter was probably a done deal.
.
After sighing helplessly in his heart, Prime Minister Wen also wanted to leave some dignity for himself.
After a moment of silence, he stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I have one last thing to say. Please give me your permission."
Wu Yuan looked at Prime Minister Wen in surprise, as if he had already guessed what Prime Minister Wen was going to say.
However, Wu Yuan still gave Prime Minister Wen this opportunity, "Just say it."
Prime Minister Wen was also unambiguous and said with firm eyes: "Your Majesty, I am already old, and I have dedicated my life to Your Majesty. Please allow Your Majesty to allow me to retire and return home immediately.
"Resign yourself to your hometown?" Others were also shocked by Prime Minister Wen's words.
For a moment, the situation was about to get out of control again.
But as Wu Yuan yelled angrily, "Shut your mouths."
Everyone stood there in anger but did not dare to speak, their eyes full of words.
Although he had already guessed what Prime Minister Wen was thinking, Wu Yuan could not help but feel a little angry when Prime Minister Wen actually said it.
He even said without hesitation: "Prime Minister Wen, have you thought about it? If you leave now, you will never come back."
Prime Minister Wen smiled bitterly in his heart, but persisted and said: "Your Majesty, I have decided to leave. Please give me your permission."
Prime Minister Wen said again, and even knelt down to ask Wu Yuan'en for permission.
But before he knelt down, Wu Yuan said: "There is no need to kneel down, I will allow you to resign and return to your hometown."
"Your Majesty, you absolutely must not do this."
These ministers began to worry again. How could the prime minister of a country leave just as he said?
What's more, Prime Minister Wen can still help them deal with it when they can't understand the new emperor.
But now that Prime Minister Wen is gone, if anything happens, who will be the intermediary for them? Furthermore, at the banquet at the Prime Minister's Mansion yesterday, Prime Minister Wen also won a lot of hearts.
Wu Yuan would not be polite to these people, "Why not, or whoever wants to leave, why not stand up together, everyone counts, I will be sure."
Everyone was completely dumbfounded. How could the new emperor, who was chatting and laughing with them yesterday, fall out so quickly?
After Wu Yuan said these words, Prime Minister Wen immediately turned around and said to the ministers: "My lords, I am really beyond my ability. You must not act on your own initiative. The court still needs you."
Prime Minister Wen didn't dare to take away a group of people just because of himself, even if it was just one or two, it might leave a bad impression on Wu Yuan.
Don't dare to joke with your own life, Prime Minister Wen still knows a thing or two about Wu Yuan's abilities.
Wu Yuan gave Prime Minister Wen a thoughtful look, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly.
When the ministers were filled with indignation and wanted to defend Prime Minister Wen, Wu Yuan was too lazy to listen to these people's nonsense and said directly: "I know you are not convinced, but you should still remember what I said to you yesterday.
Bar?"
Upon hearing Wu Yuan's question, all the ministers responded one after another and expressed their memory.
Wu Yuan also nodded with satisfaction, "Just remember, I once said that in this court, there is no distinction between high and low. As long as you have the ability, I can promote you."
This was a fact they had seen with their own eyes, and the ministers did not object.
But someone had the courage to say, "Your Majesty, don't you want to say that this rule you set also applies to women?"
"That's natural." Wu Yuan confirmed what this man said.
"How can this be possible? How can a woman serve as an official and serve in politics? This is ridiculous."
It seems that no matter how you say this, the ministers will find it difficult to accept this matter.
Wu Yuan was not very angry, because this was expected, not to mention that Wu Yuan was a man who knew how low the status of women in ancient times was.
Deep-rooted thoughts are not easy to change, otherwise, Prime Minister Wen would not have opposed him.
Wu Yuan knew this very well. Prime Minister Wen proposed to return home, although it was probably because the position of chief ceremonial officer threatened his position as prime minister.
However, Prime Minister Wen's character has always been for stability.
Nowadays, I am able to do this job mostly because the person sitting in the position of chief ceremonial officer is a woman.
"With me, no matter what your background is, what your official position is, whether you are a man or a woman, or even a eunuch, as long as you are capable and capable, I can give you a chance."
Although Wu Yuan had said similar words at the Prime Minister's Mansion yesterday, they all subconsciously thought that these words were only aimed at those people who were officials in the court.
Some people have thought about it, and it seems that Wu Yuan was not what they thought yesterday. The purpose of going to the Prime Minister's Mansion was to give everyone a shot in the arm and enhance the cohesion of the court.
It seems that the real purpose is to bring his woman to court, and he has found a high-sounding reason for this.
Even Prime Minister Wen thought so and immediately didn't want to say anything more.
"Since Your Majesty has promised that I can retire and return to my hometown, I will go to court."
After saying that, he turned around and left without waiting for Wu Yuan to agree.
"Haha, Prime Minister Wen doesn't have to be so impatient. I haven't finished speaking yet."
Upon seeing this, Prime Minister Wen said uncertainly, "But this has nothing to do with me."
Prime Minister Wen was determined to leave, which made everyone anxious.
"Okay, then let's start the next competition after you leave."
Prime Minister Wen paused, and other ministers also had strange expressions on their faces.
"I wonder what kind of competition your Majesty just mentioned?"
Prime Minister Wen turned around to face Wu Yuan again and asked.
Wu Yuan waved his hand casually, "It's not a big deal, it's just to let Yan Fei compete with the ministers."
Everyone was surprised when these words came out, but soon some people who reacted quickly thought that this was probably Wu Yuanbu's plan again.
