Chapter 842

When there was a drought in the four southern counties, Luo QingHan, the crown prince, insisted on going south to pray for rain in person in order to solve the drought, regardless of the obstruction of the people.

The decision seemed foolish and impulsive to everyone.

Even Wan Jun, who was still the prince's teacher at that time, thought so. He even expressed his disappointment with the prince.

Until——

The drought was resolved and the prince returned with success.

Then they knew that they underestimated the prince's ability.

Wan Jun always remembered that he was standing on the quiet and spacious rosefinch street to welcome the prince back.

At that time, the crown prince was younger and more immature than now.

But the firmness in his eyes has never changed.

Wan Jun said slowly, "in fact, your majesty knows very well that anyone who comes from an aristocratic family will not support the tax reform, including Weichen."

Luo QingHan looked at him calmly.

"But you supported it."

Wan Jun smiled bitterly: "so Weichen has to pay for his behavior."

With that, he held the table and stood up with difficulty.

Father Chang wanted to come up and help him, but he pushed him away.

Wan Jun stepped back two steps, then bowed to the ground again, put his forehead on the ground and said word by word.

"Wei Minister Wan Jun is old and weak. He is no longer able to serve his majesty and the court. He begged his majesty for mercy and allowed Wei minister to resign and return home."

Luo QingHan stretched out his hand to help the other party and froze in place.

For a moment, the needles dropped in the imperial study.

For a long time, I heard Luo QingHan ask.

"Why?"

There was endless bitterness in Wan Jun's voice.

"What your majesty wants to do is almost against all aristocratic families.

Weichen respects your courage and is willing to support you to turn your ideals into reality.

But Wei Chen is only a mortal after all. Wei Chen also has his parents, wife, children and brothers.

Wei Chen has too much concern.

Wei Chen can't cut off these concerns, so he can only take the initiative to withdraw from the war to protect himself. "

This is too straightforward, so that Luo QingHan can't even say a word to stay.

Both teachers and students fell into a dead silence.

Luo QingHan never thought that he would have to face such a difficult situation on the first day he proposed tax reform.

He opened his mouth and wanted to call the teacher, but he couldn't shout out.

Finally, he just said something hoarse.

"I need to think again."

Wan Jun stood up with the help of father-in-law Chang.

Wan Jun seemed not to see the lonely look of the emperor, arched his hand at him, then took the crutch from father-in-law Chang's hand and left the imperial study shakily.

He walked down the steps step by step.

There are already sedan chairs waiting under the steps.

Wan Jun looked back at the imperial study behind him before sitting in the sedan chair.

Complex emotions appeared in his cloudy eyes.

If he could be ten years younger, he would be willing to fight with the emperor.

But now he is old. He has more heart than strength to do things.

Even if he continued to stay in the court, he could not help the emperor, and might even become a gap for others to break through the emperor's heart.

Rather than drag down the emperor's pace, he might as well take the initiative to resign.

Wan Jun sighed long.

My heart is endless helplessness and frustration.

……

Yunxiu palace.

Xiao Xixi was about to have lunch when he heard that the emperor was coming again.

She immediately got up and went out to meet the emperor, who happened to meet the emperor coming here.

Luo QingHan stopped her from preparing to salute.

Xiao Xi noticed that something was wrong with his face.

She took his hand, took him to the house and asked.

"Have you had lunch?"

Luo QingHan: "not yet."

Xiao Xixi: "then eat with me."

She asked someone to add a pair of dishes and chopsticks, and let drizzle cook two more dishes.

Luo QingHan and Xiao Xixi sat down beside the food table.

Xiao Xi asked as she filled him with soup.

"What's the matter with you again? Why are you unhappy?"

Luo QingHan looked down at the bowl put in front of him and said softly.

"I mentioned the tax reform in the court today, and many people opposed it."

Xiao Cuixi: "isn't this expected?"

Luo QingHan: "but what I didn't expect was that master Wan would resign because of this."

Xiao Xi was stunned.

She knows master Wan.

When Luo QingHan was the crown prince, the old master was his teacher, and the crown prince respected him very much.

Luo QingHan: "I know the tax reform is very difficult, and I know there will be many dangers on this road, but I didn't expect that on the first day, master Wan would draw a line with me."

In fact, he can't accept Wan Jun's resignation. After all, Wan Jun is getting old and his health is getting worse and worse. It's sooner or later to resign and go home.

What he couldn't accept was that Wan Jun chose to resign today.

As soon as he proposed tax reform, he was hit head-on.

He was under great pressure.

Xiao Cuixi: "did you find this road more difficult than you expected?"

Luo QingHan: "HMM."

Xiao Xixi: "will you give up?"

Luo QingHan: "No."

Xiao Xixi spread his hands: "that's it? Anyway, you won't give up. What do you want to do so much? Try this Longjing shrimp. It's refreshing and delicious, especially to your taste."

Luo QingHan looked at the shrimp in his bowl and was silent for a moment. After all, he picked up chopsticks, picked up the shrimp and put it into his mouth.

Xiao Xi looked at him expectantly.

"Is it delicious?"

Luo QingHan swallowed the shrimps: "not bad."

Xiao Cuixi: "if you like, eat more. I'll tell you, there's no trouble in the world that can't be solved by one meal. If there is, eat another meal!"

Luo QingHan: "

Does she think everyone eats like her?!

After lunch, Luo QingHan didn't leave. He stayed to take a nap with Xi Xi.

There was a real husband, and the human pillow was thrown aside by Xiao Xi.

She took Luo QingHan to sleep for a while and soon woke up again.

She got up and touched the human pillow.

Luo QingHan asked, "what's the matter with you?"

Xiao Xixi: "your body feels hard. It's not comfortable to hold it. It's softer and more comfortable to hold it with a pillow."

Then she took the human pillow and held it in her arms, with a small expression of satisfaction on her face.

Luo QingHan looked at her expressionless.

Xiao Xixi didn't realize that someone was drowning in jealousy.

She lay back with her pillow in her arms, ready to go back to sleep.

Luo QingHan reached out and pulled the pillow out of her arms.

Xiao Xi looked at her in surprise: "what are you doing?"

Luo QingHan roughly grabbed the pillow and asked coldly, "I can only choose one between it and me. Who do you choose?"

Xiao Xixi was afraid that he would tear the pillow in his anger, so he answered quickly.

"Choose you, choose you! I must choose you!"

Luo QingHan looked a little slower.

He threw his pillow to the ground and gave a deep warning.

"You are not allowed to touch this pillow when I am here in the future!"
