Chapter 332 Consideration

"You can speak the truth, which also shows that you trust me and treat me as your own, not as a high and mighty, inhuman emperor."

The emperor smiled and said, "So, I am very pleased, and I also think that Lord Song is very honest. But I am still a little confused. Since you want to resign and spend time with your family, as far as I know, your family has a lot of property and you don't have to worry about food and drink. Why do you still want to be a minor official?"

"It is precisely because my family has a small fortune that I want to be a minor official. Firstly, it will not make me look useless, and secondly, it will give me some status, so others will not dare to covet me."

emperor,"……"

He really is thinking about the Jiang family wholeheartedly!

Most of the sons-in-law of other families have been humble and submissive for many years. Once they gain power, they will feel proud and change their previous behavior. Those who are sentimental can still keep a decent appearance, but those who are narrow-minded may even trample on the father-in-law's family.

Song Jingyun is really very different from others. Even at this time, he is still wholeheartedly considering the entire Jiang family.

However, the emperor also heard that the Jiang family treated Song Jingyun very well. Before Song Jingyun studied for the imperial examination, his family treated him like their own son and loved him dearly.

This kind of home should be something everyone envies and wants to own.

The emperor nodded slightly, "Lord Song is indeed very thoughtful, but Lord Song is very capable and prudent. If you leave my side, I will be missing a loyal minister like you, and I will be very reluctant to let you go."

"Your Majesty is wise, and all the civil and military officials are working hard. Your Majesty can rest assured that our dynasty will surely prosper."

"Then I will borrow your good words." The emperor nodded slightly, "Since Song Aiqing wants to become a minor official, then I will follow your wishes and appoint you as the county magistrate to take charge of the affairs of the county."

"In addition, I have granted you the title of Earl of Ping'an, which can be inherited for three generations. This is also my reward for your dedication and hard work. Your wife, Jiang, will still be a fifth-rank imperial lady."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward." Song Jingyun kowtowed to express his gratitude. After standing up, he smiled at the emperor and said, "Now the world is peaceful, but the sea is quite rough. However, for fishermen who often live by the sea, the bigger the wind and waves, the greater the harvest."

"If Your Majesty has some free time, why not send more people to the sea to have a look? Perhaps there will be great gains."

Send people out to sea?

But the emperor remembered that Jiang Junli's family was involved in many businesses, and maritime trade was one of them.

Jiang Junli probably knows a lot about what's happening at sea, so you can ask him.

"I've made note of it." The emperor nodded thoughtfully.

Song Jingyun's decisions have always been correct, and listening to him this time will definitely pay off! Regarding Song Jingyun's resignation and becoming the county magistrate and the Earl of Ping'an, the emperor quickly ordered someone to draft an imperial edict and let Song Jingyun take it away.

After Song Jingyun left the palace, he did not even return to the Hanlin Academy, but hurried back home.

"You're leaving office so early today?" Jiang Mixia was very surprised to see Song Jingyun coming back.

"I went to the palace for some business, and came back directly after seeing the emperor." Song Jingyun saw Jiang Mixia lying on the bed and asked with concern, "What about you? Why are you sleeping at this time today?"

"There have been many banquets in the capital these days, and no one can refuse. Today, when I went to the Jinxiang Marquis' Mansion for a banquet, I probably drank one extra glass of wine. After I came back, I felt a little headache, so I wanted to sleep for a while."
