People of his position, no matter the former Emperor or Xu Jin, only asked him to call for exemption with a modest courtesy. This time, Xu Jin did not speak. After reading two memorials in succession, he put down his imperial pen, looked at Qiu duo and asked, "mother Zheng said that you had an affair with Princess Zhang, the biological mother of Prince an, when you were in Luoyang. Did she create something out of nothing, or..."
Qiu duo kowtowed: "it is true."
The Emperor didn't explain how he listened to mother Zheng. For example, mother Zheng said it on her own initiative, or he sent someone to interrogate him. Qiu duo also understood that it was useless for him to explain that he had nothing to do with king an, and the emperor could not have doubted that he was using people.
They were all wise men, and there was no need to say much. The palace was silent.
A moment later, Qiu duo said: "the emperor, when I was young, I fought in all directions, and I fell sick of my legs. In recent years, it has become more and more frequent, which has seriously affected my work. Therefore, please ask the emperor's Quasi ministers to return to their hometown and take care of their illness."
Now that he has been suspected, it is meaningless for this official to continue to serve. It is better to take the initiative to step back and still retain a decent position.
Xu Jin did not detain him, which was related to the Royal reputation, and it was not suitable to be polite at this time.
The next day, Qiu duo formally handed in his resignation.
Xu has been approved.
Fu Pinyan looked at his son-in-law on the Dragon chair, and his heart moved.
When he went home in the evening, he told Qiao Shi about it. "Qiu duo doesn't know what the emperor is like. You and I know that the emperor won't be angry because of an old mother's peeping, and Xu Jia won't make a fuss, but it's because of this that Qiu Duo resigned."
Qiao was lying on his chest and sat up after hearing the speech. He was puzzled: "do you mean that the emperor knew that Qiu duo and that mother were not conducive to Qiu duo's official career, so he specially made a trick to let Qiu duo resign voluntarily?"
Fu Pinyan said.
The son-in-law, judging from the things he did after he ascended the throne, was deeply in his mind.
Qiao's brow frowned. "Is it a coincidence that the emperor calls on you, or is there any meaning?"
Everyone envies her daughter as a queen. Only the Fu family knows that under the glory, she is cautious, and she is afraid of becoming a spoiled and coquettish woman.
Fu Pinyan sighed, took her hand and said, "after a while, I quit. Maybe the main hall can be promoted again." He is a civil servant, and his son is a military officer. If he holds a high position in the court, he will be more likely to be feared by the royal family. He is old, and his son is just at the right time. He is willing to give his son the opportunity to make contributions.
Chou's feeling gloomy.
In winter, Fu Pinyan asked Xu Jin to resign on the ground that he was indifferent to fame and wealth. He did not dare to push himself out of the way, for fear that his daughters would worry.
Xu Jin was very surprised. He looked at his father-in-law for a second, and then he realized what the problem was.
He was only amused and ordered his father-in-law to go out. He invited Fu Pinyan to the couch and play chess.
Fu Pinyan was puzzled, but he had to follow.
After several children were left behind, Xu Jin said to the chessboard, "my father-in-law must have guessed why Qiu duo resigned. The reason is that it is harmful to the royal dignity. I can't tell you in detail. In order to avoid Qiu duo's suspicion, I have to ask someone to be present. The reason is that I trust my father-in-law most. I believe that even if my father-in-law guesses a little, he will not investigate it without authorization Secret. "
