Baili Yan waved his hand and said, "It’s not their place to be dissatisfied. The book rely suggests relaxing rchant policies and elevating the status of rchants. It won’t harm the lives of ordinary people."
"Think about it, elevating the status of rchants would encourage many to engage in comrce. More trades and shops an that when people have idle ti from farming, they can find short-term work. Of course, everything has its pros and cons, as the book says, those in power must control it appropriately, so that not everyone rushes into comrce, lest it be putting the cart before the horse."
Prince Qing nodded, "Marquis Changning has thought this through thoroughly."
He pondered for a mont and wanted to ask Marquis Changning how he ca up with it, only to realize that Marquis Changning wasn’t present.
Baili Yan naturally noticed Prince Qing’s movents and said, "Marquis Changning wants to resign, but I stopped him."
"What?" Prince Qing was shocked, "Why does he want to resign?"
The attention of the court ministers shifted from the book, finally understanding why the Emperor was angry two days ago.
"Marquis Changning is hosick and wants to retire and return ho." Baili Yan was very displeased with this reason. "Tell , should I allow it or not?"
Prince Qing blushed and said, "Of course not, if it were up to him, then even I should retire and settle down at ho." Like Baili Yan, Prince Qing was also displeased; retiring at such a young age?
If he’s retiring, then what should we, who are older, do?
"So what do you suggest? He insists on resigning." Baili Yan took out the morial, "He’s even feigning illness to avoid attending court."
Everyone looked at the morial, thinking Ye Zi’an must be out of his mind.
Reading the book earlier, they thought Ye Zi’an was truly talented, but upon seeing this morial, they wanted to retract that statent. At such a pri age, wanting to resign, is he mad!
"Emperor, you mustn’t permit it!"
"Marquis Changning is a pillar of the court; such a person should devote his life to the court."
"..."
The vast majority did not want Ye Zi’an to leave the court, though a minority felt Ye Zi’an was obstructing their path and supported his resignation.
"Emperor, shall I try persuading Marquis Changning?"
"This policy of governance is his brainchild, should he not at least wait until our Great Zhou implents half of it before he leaves?"
Prince Qing just read that much of its content might take two to three dynasties of our Great Zhou to fully implent, leaving him to monitor half of it before departing is just right.
Prince Qing’s words resonated with Baili Yan, and Baili Yan also felt that having soone try to persuade him was better.
"Alright, I approve. Uncle Prince Qing, I’ll entrust this matter to you."
After court was dismissed, Prince Qing went to Prince An’s Mansion, but upon arrival, the people at Prince An’s Mansion said Marquis Changning had caught a cold and went to the estate to recuperate.
Prince Qing had to return and report truthfully to the Emperor.
anwhile, State Duke Tong thought it would be necessary to take a look personally. However, upon arriving at the estate, he was told that Marquis Changning had returned to Prince An’s Mansion.
State Duke Tong knew he was avoiding eting anyone.
News from outside the palace made Baili Yan quite anxious, even His Highness Crown Prince was worried.
This Ye Zi’an was his tutor and future supporter. If he left, what would he do?
Thus, the Crown Prince also ca.
"Father, His Highness Crown Prince has arrived!" Qingqing saw the Crown Prince coming and secretly ran to the bamboo courtyard to tell Ye Zi’an. "Will you keep hiding?"
