Chapter 187: Rewarding Heroes(2/2)
Originally, after Gongsun Qi and Pang Juan, Wei Feng wanted to reward his teacher, but now he took the initiative to stand up.
Facing the request coming from the front, Wei Feng pondered for a few breaths and then said in a deep voice: "If the Prime Minister has something to do, you might as well speak up. If I can do it, I will definitely agree to it."
"Thank you so much, Your Majesty."
Hearing what Wei Feng said to him, Gongshu Cuo felt a little moved in his heart, and at the same time, a trace of nostalgia could not help but appear on his face.
Once upon a time, Gongshu Cuo, who was an important minister under the command of Marquis Wu, met Wei Feng for the first time. At that time, he was still a young man with a somewhat immature look on his face.
Now decades have passed, and the young man in the past has become the monarch of this country, but his uncle Cuo is getting older day by day.
Even though he pushed himself hard and wanted to do more things in the court, his exhausted body kept reminding him that it was time to leave.
In the past, he was still worried about the difficulties encountered by Wei State, but now after the great victory over Qin State and Qi State, he can leave without any worries.
Looking at Wei Feng standing in front of him, a solemn look appeared on Gongshu Cuo's face, "Your Majesty, I am no longer qualified to hold the position of Prime Minister. Please allow me to resign from the position of Prime Minister."
Faced with this request from Gongshu Cuo, the hall was in an uproar.
Although the court officials below knew that Gongshu Cuo might resign as prime minister, they did not expect that this day would come so quickly.
What was also unexpected in the main hall was Wei Feng, who was standing in front of Gongshu Cuo at this moment. He only heard him say quickly: "Why is the Prime Minister so eager to resign? Could it be that I did something wrong?"
"If there is anything I did wrong, please ask the Prime Minister to point it out and I will definitely change it."
"You have done nothing wrong. You are even better than your father, Marquis Wu, when he was young."
After giving Wei Feng a heartfelt compliment, I heard a smile appear on Gongshu Cuo's face, "Your Majesty, I have grown old."
"Compared with the complicated government affairs, what I think about now is having my children and grandchildren around my knees and enjoying family happiness."
Listening to the words Gongshu Cuo said at this moment and looking at the smile on his face, how could Wei Feng not understand what he meant.
Gongshu Cuo chose to withdraw from the court at this moment, perhaps because he wanted to enjoy family happiness, but the most important thing was undoubtedly to make way for Wei Feng.
After thinking of this, a feeling of emotion slowly emerged in Wei Feng's heart, and his eyes looking forward became even more solemn.
"Gongshu Cuo has been the prime minister for decades and has worked hard for our country, Wei. It can be said that he has made great contributions through hard work."
"I have passed down my order to allow my uncle Cui to resign from the position of prime minister, but all the courtesies will remain the same as before, and he will be given five thousand hectares of land to support him until his old age."
"Your Majesty, Uncle Cuo, thank you very much."
