Not long after, footsteps gradually came from outside the door. It was obvious that Yuan Zai's three sons had arrived, and they had obviously learned about what happened in the court today, and the footsteps were very anxious when walking.

"Father, my three brothers are all outside the door, I don't know my father..."

"Come in."

These three words were spoken from Yuan Zai's mouth. To the three brothers, they seemed to be ten years older than before. In addition to the affairs in the court, the three of them felt a bad feeling in their hearts, and quickly pushed the door and walked into Yuan Zai's study.

I saw Yuan Zai wearing a loose inner robe and scattered hair at the table, completely losing the spirit of the number one person in the Tang Dynasty in the past. To his sons, he looked like an old man who was about to die.

With just this image, these three brothers were scared. They didn't have the ability of Yuan Zai, so they could only rely on their father to get a few idle jobs in Chang'an City. Although they lived happily, they couldn't say anything in the court. Yuan Zai always adhered to a belief that he could not train his sons. If he was born to be a person who was unable to do it, no matter how hard he trained, he would not be able to do it.

But coincidentally, none of his three sons can inherit his legacy. This has always been a matter that Yuan Zai is quite worried about. However, now, all this is obviously no longer important. In Yuan Zai's current heart, his three sons are not successful, but rather a good thing.

When the three of them saw that their father had become like this, they didn't dare to say anything. Look at me, and I look at you, and finally they could only focus their attention on their elder brother Yuan Bohe.

"You three have already known what happened in the court today, right?"

"Father, father, we have indeed heard about the matter in the court, but isn't this just that His Majesty took Yang Yuhuan back to Xingqing Palace? Although his father's attack on His Majesty was resolved by him, he would not mention this matter in the future. Why is this so for my father?"

Obviously, these sons of Yuan Zai did not fully understand what Yuan Zai did. When Yuan Zai heard this, he looked at his sons and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Yang Yuhuan's affairs can indeed be passed, but some things can no longer be returned. Fortunately, Your Majesty is still a kind person, so he gave me three days in the end. In these three days, we have to make a conclusion on where our entire Yuan Mansion will go!"

After hearing this, Yuan Zai's youngest son Yuan Jineng was a little unhappy. He was currently serving as the proofreader of the Tang Dynasty's Secretariat, and he dealt with books all day long. He knew the least about the matter in the court. At that time, he began to speak out for Yuan Zai: "Although Your Majesty is a person with outstanding military achievements, his father has worked a lot for the Tang Dynasty's court over the years. Is he going to kill a donkey? Why didn't his father go to argue with him?"

When he said this, even his two brothers lowered their heads. Although they did not participate in some things, they knew how authoritarian Yuan Zai was in the court. They vaguely felt that Yuan Zai was probably caught by Li Qing at this time.

"Third brother, don't talk nonsense! My father created this day in the Yuan Mansion. Today, my father summoned the three of us. No matter what decision it made, we all support us strongly and will never disobey our father at all!"

When things got to this point, their elder brother had already expressed his opinion to Yuanzai.

"Okay! Let me listen to me. Today, in my study, we, father and son, all left letters, resigned and returned to our hometown. I will go to Tai Chi Palace to explain the situation to Your Majesty tomorrow. If I can return to the mansion tomorrow, the four of us will leave the city immediately. If I don't come back, you will take your family out of the city and return to Qishan County, Fengxiang Prefecture, and become an ordinary family in our old house. I have never given you anything else to you in the past years. You have read some books of sages. With these books of sages, you will definitely not starve to death in the second half of your life."

"Father, why is that?"

Obviously, Yuan Ji, who was younger, still couldn't understand why they all worked well in the court, and suddenly they had to return to their hometown to be ordinary people.

"Why is this? In order for my Yuan clan to continue to survive in this world, there are some things that the three of you don't need to know. You just need to know. If Your Majesty asks me to die, don't resent Your Majesty. If you succeed, the king will be defeated, and you will eventually have such a day."

Yuan Zai's words were quite subtle, but his three sons had all studied, so naturally they knew what was going on. So they lowered their heads and stopped talking. After a long time, under the leadership of their elder brother, they began to write the resignation documents in Yuan Zai's study.

At night, Chen Zhibao went to Tai Chi Palace to report on the movement in Chang'an City and told Li that almost no one had been to Yuanzai's mansion that day, and only his three sons were found by him, and he never came out again.

Li Yan pondered for a while and sighed in a low voice: "This Yuan Zai is really smarter than I had imagined at the beginning. He still knows how much he is."

"Why should your Majesty do this? I just take some imperial guards directly to the mansion to get people. Yuan Zai's crimes in the court will be tried for a little, but I have said everything?"

Facing Chen Zhibao's words, Li Qing waved his hand and said, "If it were a prosperous era, it would be like this, but the Tang Dynasty is not like this today! You, I, the king and the minister, should learn this way of retreating to advance."

Chen Zhibao touched his head and left without understanding, leaving Li Qing looking at his back with a smile. Obviously, Li Qing had already decided something in his heart at this time.

The next morning, Li Yan had just had a meal when the eunuch outside the door had already reported that Yuan Zai was alone and had arrived outside the Tai Chi Palace gate and wanted to see Li Yan.

After receiving this news, Li Qing didn't feel any surprise in his heart, nor did he use the emperor's airs, so he directly asked the eunuch to lead Yuan Zai in.

In fact, since Li Yan ascended the throne, Yuan Zai has never been to this Tai Chi Palace alone. No matter how big the matter is, he does not want these things to come to Li Yan. Naturally, he is accused of Wang Jin and Zhang Xun of not wanting to add burden to His Majesty, but in fact, he is of course thinking about what he wants to achieve his goal of controlling the government.

Li Neng knew that the first time this guy visited the Tai Chi Palace he led would be the last time in his life.
