After several months of recuperation, the old chivalrous Zheng Li's injury slowly recovered. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
On this day, Zheng Li had nothing to do in the room, so he came to the garden in the Xin Mansion for a walk, and as soon as he walked to the pavilion in the garden, he heard someone sighing, and when he got closer, it turned out to be Lord Xin Qiji.
Xin Qiji saw Zheng Li coming over and said: "Old hero, these days because of the busy official business, rarely accompany each other, the former doctor once said that the old hero has basically recovered, which is really gratifying." ”
Zheng Lida hurriedly replied: "During this period of time, I am recuperating in the adult's house, which is really disturbing, and the adult seems to have something to worry about, I don't know if I can say it, to see if I can share the worries of the adult." ”
Xin Qiji said: "It's not a secret, the current power in the DPRK is Lord Han Yanxuan, I don't know if the old strong man knows anything about this person?"
Zheng Li replied: "Outside the temple, I don't know much about the officialdom, I only heard that this person is a main battle faction, and the details are unknown. ”
Xin Qi heard this, and then said: "What the old hero said is true, this Han Daren is indeed advocating the Northern Expedition, but this Han Daren seems to be a little narrow-minded, the scholar Zhu Xi, just because he has different political views, was driven out of the imperial court, and today's national affairs are difficult, and it is necessary to unite these popular people to fight against the Jin people; ”
Zheng Li continued: "What the Lord said is very true, I don't know that the Lord and Lord Han are both the main battle faction, why don't you remind one or two?"
Xin Qiji said: "A few days ago, I revised a letter, and I didn't want this Lord Han not only not to accept it, but to be angry with me, saying that I colluded with Zhu Xi, and I was instigating the official to impeach me in the past few days." ”
Zheng Li said to Xin Qiji: "My lord, there is a word below, I don't know if I should say it?"
Xin Qiji said: "Old knight, you don't have to be polite, just say it." ”
Zheng Li said: "Today's imperial court is mediocre, can not use people, Yue Wumu has been loyal to the Great Song Dynasty all his life, and the end is still so miserable, not to mention the adults! ”
Xin Qiji continued: "It's really a word to wake up the person in the dream, no matter what, officialdom is like this, don't be an official, or return to the hidden Huangquan, where the mountains and rivers are beautiful, enough to support the elderly, write a book and say." ”
After saying this, Xin Qiji then asked, "I don't know what the old strong man plans to do next?"
"I have become completely identical below, I am wandering the rivers and lakes, and the four seas are my home," Zheng Li replied.
Xin Qijian heard this, and then said: "There is a son under him, Mingran, fifteen years old this year, in addition to following the old man to learn literature, he will also have some superficial kung fu, but he has not met a famous teacher to guide him, the old hero is strong in martial arts, and he is loyal and good, if he doesn't dislike it, I want to call the dog to worship the old hero as a teacher, I don't know if the old hero will agree?"
Zheng Li replied: "The son of the adult, during this time, I have been recuperating in the mansion, and I have already seen it, I am talented and intelligent, and it is really an honor to accept the son as an apprentice. '
Seeing that Zheng Li had agreed, Xin Qiji hurriedly called out his beloved son Xin Ran and ordered him to worship the old man as a teacher.
On the second day, Xin Qiji wrote to the imperial court, saying that he was old and frail, and was not suitable for this important task, and Han Qiji, who was in power in the DPRK, wanted to remove Xin Qiji, but because of Xin Qiji's prestige in the main battle faction, he did not dare to remove him from his post.
After Xin Qiji's resignation was approved, he finished handing over his official duties, packed his luggage, took his family and Zheng Li, and came to Huangquan together to live a secluded life.
