Chapter 1859

"Because of your Second Uncle's affair, because of the Battle of Hexi?"

Gao Tianlong asked again.

"Correct."

Gao Yang withdrew his smile, and that handsome face was filled with a chilling intensity.

Gao Tianlong understood everything in his heart, and his mood was extremely heavy.

"Then what do you intend to do? Have you thought it through?!"

Gao Yang shook his head, "Sun Er is still conflicted, but I really want to resign from office and return to the fields, and from now on, not ask about court politics."

"At that time, I'll pick chrysanthemums under the eastern fence and leisurely see the southern mountains. Whatever the world's situation or court struggles, they will all have nothing to do with Sun Er. Wouldn't it be wonderful to leisurely be an old farmer?"

As Gao Yang spoke, a very indifferent smile appeared on his face.

But he added, "However, this is just an immature idea of Sun Er's; it shouldn't be taken seriously!"

He held the position of Prime Minister of Da Qian, the head of all officials, and had just established illustrious merit that caught the world's attention. How could it be so simple to resign and return to the fields?

Gao Tianlong laughed, "What is there to call mature or immature about an idea? Since you've decided, then let go and do it. Grandfather supports you!"

Gao Yang raised his eyes, looking incredulous, "Grandfather, you support me?"

This was resigning from office, and his shoulders carried the rise and fall of the entire Duke of Dingguo's mansion.

Gao Tianlong, actually didn't oppose it at all?

Gao Tianlong smiled, "If one cannot provide unconditional support, then what kind of family is that?"

"You are Da Qian's number one poisonous scholar; your perception of crises is naturally more sensitive than Grandfather's. Since you want to resign, you must have your reasons!"

"No need to explain to Grandfather, and even less need to be conflicted. Since you've thought it through, then do it. You only need to know that the Duke of Dingguo's mansion will always be your backing!"

"If the sky falls, Grandfather will hold it up! If His Majesty is enraged because of this and even goes so far as to wield a blade against the Duke of Dingguo's mansion, then even if you don't resign, the result will be the same. Regardless of the outcome, you don't need to have any psychological burden."

Gao Yang looked at the frail old man before him. Wrinkles almost covered his face, his waist was hunched, his hair was white, and his whole body exuded an air of twilight.

But when saying this, Gao Tianlong's voice was mixed with immense dominance.

He knew clearly that if he really resigned, it would cause a massive storm in Da Qian!

As the head of all officials, the Champion Marquis, and the General of the Flying Cavalry, too many honors were heaped upon him. Every move he made was watched not just by Da Qian, but by the whole world.

If Wu Zhao were truly enraged because of this and lost her reason, the entire Duke of Dingguo's mansion would be wiped out!

Yet Gao Tianlong... only had one sentence: Since you've decided, then let go and do it!

If the sky falls, he would hold it up!

Gao Yang smiled and said to Gao Tianlong, "Grandfather, actually, it's not that dramatic. His Majesty is, after all, His Majesty, the Son of Heaven, the Lord of Da Qian. Suffering a little grievance before His Majesty and bowing one's head is normal."

"This resignation is just like a slip of the tongue, said casually. Don't overthink it."

"Silly child." The old man laughed, "Why deceive yourself? Everything Grandfather said came from the bottom of my heart. If you really want to resign, then resign! The entire Duke of Dingguo's mansion will support your choice. Whether it's overwhelming power or worldly fame, none of it is worth a single hair of my grandson. In my heart—this world, no one is worthy of making my grandson suffer grievances, even if it is—His Majesty!"
