Something happened in Cui Zhuangyuan's family again.
He was an official with profound literary talent, diligence, ability and great favor from the emperor, but his parents were unlucky. His stepmother committed a crime and was exiled, and now his father, who returned to his hometown to observe mourning, was involved in corruption.
The three cabinet ministers, Liu Ji, Xu Pu and Liu Jian, looked at the petition and resignation letter written by Ryan Cui overnight with serious expressions and complicated feelings.
Xu and Liu, two Hanlin scholars, had watched Ryan Cui grow up - although only in the past few years since he entered the palace to give lectures and became Li Dongyang's apprentice. After all, they had known each other for a long time, and they had a good relationship with his master and had worked under him for more than a year, so they were reluctant to let him ruin his future.
Although both of them were people with great integrity, they also felt that their son should not be implicated in their father's mistakes, so they left a memorial and wanted to plead with Prime Minister Liu on his behalf.
