"Lord Dai, please come directly to the Imperial Study Room later. I want to talk to you alone."
In the court, everything is fine as long as the Yang family is among the military generals.
But what he lacked most now was men of letters. Without two capable assistants, he wouldn't even have time to eat with Wanwan anymore.
On the way back to the Imperial Study, Emperor Wu of Xia held Wanwan in his arms and couldn't help but sigh, "Alas, in this entire palace, only your father can't escape. These officials can leave at any time, but your father can't leave."
[I can't leave now, can I? I'm forced to stay with you every day. But... my dad is really handsome. He's in his thirties, but he's much more mature and more heroic than a teenager.]
Emperor Wu of Xia was stunned for a moment. It was the first time that his own daughter praised him, and it was not common to see her praise so well.
Proud, well, I will take good care of this face in the future.
I was in a particularly good mood today, and I nodded at the tip of Wanwan's nose. "My Wanwan is still the best. She never leaves me."
"That's right, my dad is so handsome. He definitely has to stay. But, it would be better if he was a little smarter. It's a shame to let someone like Dai Qingshan not stay."
Emperor Wu of Xia remained silent, secretly thinking in his heart that he would keep the person even if it meant spending all his family fortune.
In the Imperial Study, Emperor Wu of Xia said nothing and showed Dai Qingshan the imperial edict promoting him to the third rank of Minister of Revenue. "I have read your article and it coincides with my own. I think highly of you."
After reading the imperial edict, Dai Qingshan knelt down resolutely and said, "Your Majesty, I am afraid I am not up to the task. Please allow me to resign and return home."
Emperor Wu of Xia was filled with inexplicable rage. This man was so ungrateful that he wanted to kill him. With Emperor Wu of Xia's previous mentality, he would have taken action long ago.
"Tell me why you want to resign." Emperor Wu of Xia suppressed his anger.
"Your Majesty, I simply feel that I am not up to the task."
Wanwan took a closer look at Dai Qingshan's expression. It was one of weariness and despair, like she was completely disappointed.
[Alas, Dad must have done a lot of bad things in the past, and these upright officials have given up all hope for him.]
Dai Qingshan's eyes must be filled with disappointment. Dad, I think you're hopeless. I've given up hope and just want to go back and spend a few days in peace.
Dai Qingshan's greatest ambition in life is to build bridges and roads for the people, so that they can live and work in peace and contentment.
Emperor Wu of Xia was holding back his anger, and all the civil and military officials in the court were so disappointed?
"I'll show you something!"
Emperor Wu of Xia had his subordinates open a map. "Longyan State has a total of thirty-eight cities. Currently, many people are still in a drought, with no water storage capacity. However, during the flood season, many places are flooded. In such an environment, as a minister of Longyan State, retiring at such a young age, isn't that a bit irresponsible to the country? Was all the loyalty and patriotism learned in childhood in vain?"
[Ahem, Daddy is such a jerk. He wanted to keep me, so he did, but he had to scold me. It was clearly your fault.]
Emperor Wu of Xia frowned and looked at the baby in his arms unconsciously: How can you keep someone if you keep saying that you are wrong? You must keep the person first, and then correct your mistakes.
"emperor……"
Sure enough, this scolding was effective. He immediately began to feel guilty, "The reason why I want to resign is..."
"Um?"
Emperor Wu of Xia stared intently, his brows filled with impatience, "If you have something to say, just say it like a man, don't be so coy."
[Oh my god, he didn't say it because he was afraid he wouldn't get support. Dai Qingshan is a very sentimental person. His greatest desire in life, besides revenge, is to be with his wife.]
[Wife? Could it be that it was because of his wife's problems? Yes, Dai Qingshan resigned because his wife wasn't going to live any longer. He was also deeply disappointed with the government, which was why he resigned. Later, after spending the rest of his life with his wife, it took him a long time to recover. And then, by chance, he met the male protagonist, and finally achieved his revenge.]
It turns out it’s because of my wife’s problem…
"Your Majesty, no matter how you view love, I, your humble servant, have been with my wife since childhood. I once swore to be with her and love her forever. However, she is now ill and there is no cure."
Dai Qingshan blurted out, but in his heart he thought, maybe in the eyes of Emperor Wu of Xia, a grown man resigning from his official position and returning home to accompany his wife for such a small matter is indeed a bit ugly.
After all, which man doesn't have three wives and four concubines? But in his opinion, his wife is more important to him than his own life!
"What if I don't agree to your resignation?" Emperor Wu of Xia stared at her. Although he heard Wanwan's thoughts, he still couldn't understand why she would give up her career for a woman.
"Oh, Dad, why don't you just find a way to fix that woman's wife? Do you think everyone is like you, so carefree? Your harem is just to give you face. You've never cared about any woman, but now you're trying to keep her."
[Alas, it's over. Dai Qingshan is either dead or resigning from his position now. Seeing how Daddy is acting, there's definitely no other way. Trying to force him to stay is a good idea.]
Have you never cared about any woman?
Emperor Wu of Xia looked at Wanwan. Perhaps before Wanwan came into his life, he really didn't understand the importance of women in his heart.
But after having Wanwan, one of his reasons for wanting to keep his throne was to hope that Wanwan could become the happiest princess.
He suddenly thought that if Wanwan was sick and about to leave him...
No, it couldn't be. He couldn't even think about it. His precious daughter would live forever.
"Your Majesty, if you cannot resign, I will die with you."
Wanwan also admired Dai Qingshan's temper. Even such a tyrant could not scare her.
"I'll ask the imperial physician to come to your house, and I'll have him examine her myself."
Dai Qingshan: ???
When these words came out, Wanwan and Dai Qingshan were shocked. When did Emperor Wu of Xia become so amiable? And also became so concerned about women.
"emperor?"
Dai Qingshan couldn't believe it.
"Doctor Wen is a highly skilled doctor who has seen all sorts of difficult and complicated illnesses. He will definitely be able to cure your wife."
Emperor Wu of Xia finished speaking, then added grumpily, "However, I hope you won't mention resigning again. For the sake of the people of the world, fight for them with me."
Dai Qingshan looked panicked. After a long moment, he raised his eyes and said, "Your Majesty, thank you, Your Majesty. Long live the emperor."
[Oh, I really want to go see what the illness is. Can the imperial physician cure it? The moment to witness history has come. If the emperor keeps Dai Qingshan, the court will have another great and upright official.]
"I'll take my daughter with me."
Seeing this girl enjoying watching the fun, I couldn't help but want to laugh. Maybe she was too suffocated in the palace.
