The morning glow shone in the east, and the golden clouds seemed to be waiting for the sun, as if the ministers were waiting for the king......

Kaifeng Mansion Imperial Palace Jinluan Palace.

Huang Shang slowly stepped out of the ranks, bowed his hand, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the old minister is now in his old age, and his heart is not strong, and it is difficult to continue to serve the Great Song Dynasty."

I beg Your Majesty to allow the old minister to return to his hometown. ”

Say goodbye, bow deeply.

Hua Kui stared at the old man below.

The rectangular face has almost no elastic muscles and soft tissues, and is full of deep folds. has long gray hair, but it is neatly organized.

For so many years, Huang Shang has never been greedy for ink, and is dedicated to the people. He never joined any faction, only loyal to himself, and can be described as the pillar of the country.

"Alas"

Hua Kui sighed and said reluctantly: "Huang Yushi, I have been loyal to my duties all these years, and as soon as you leave, I will be like a broken arm."

I don't know where Huang Yushi's hometown is located. ”

Huang Sheng hurriedly replied: "Lao Chen's hometown is located in a seaside village on Liangzhejiang Road, which is under the jurisdiction of Zhongshan City. ”

Hua Kui got up and walked back and forth in the hall with his hands in his hands, but he didn't know how to reward him.

After thinking for a while, his footsteps paused, and he suddenly said, "Intention."

I allowed Huang Shang to return to his hometown.

He gave him 1,000 taels of gold, 100,000 taels of silver, and 200,000 taels of copper.

It can be under the jurisdiction of Zhongshan City, and arbitrarily enclose 100,000 acres of land and belong to it. ”

After that, he asked Huang Shang, "Huang Yushi, is this reward satisfactory?"

Huang Sheng hurriedly knelt down, touched his head to the ground and bowed: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your generous gift." ”

"Huang Yushi, please get up quickly, this is what you deserve. Hua Kui hurriedly walked down the hall and helped Huang Shang up.

Huang Sheng returned to the queue at this time, and no longer focused on the speeches of other colleagues, but looked around this Jinluan Palace, there should be no chance to come again in this life.

"Your Majesty, the minister has a book. Then another courtier came out and had something to say.

"Quasi-play. "Hanami is a young face, as if he was the governor who took office not long ago, but he doesn't remember his name.

"Your Majesty has long passed the year of his establishment, but he has neither established a queen nor accepted a concubine.

The so-called unfilial piety has three and no queens, not to mention that His Majesty is the king of a country.

Weichen implored His Majesty to accept the harem and give birth to a dragon son as soon as possible, which would also help the stability of the Great Song Dynasty. The young courtier stiffened.

Hua Kui's face changed instantly, but he was not angry, and said coldly: "I already know about this matter, you can step down." ”

"Yes. ”

......

After all, it is the middle of early winter, and the sun is like an egg yolk hidden in a layer of clouds like cicada wings, appearing and disappearing, giving people a warm feeling.

The court meeting did not end until this time, and the civil and military officials left the Jinluan Hall one after another and walked outside the palace.

Although Huang Shang did not join any faction, after all, he has been an official for many years, and everyone has a colleague, and the rest of the officials have shown their concern and sent blessings.

And the new governor who disliked His Majesty just now, no one paid attention to it for the time being.

One is that he hasn't joined any faction yet.

The second is that he is an official here, which age is not much older than him, to put it in layman's terms, that is, there is a generation gap, and we can't talk together.

Hou Baoliang looked back at this 'newcomer', perhaps out of interest, and stopped waiting, wanting to chat with him.

"Prime Minister Hou. ”

This 'newcomer' saw that Prime Minister Hou Cheng, who was above 10,000 people under one person, blocked his way, and out of politeness, he respectfully bowed and said hello.

Hou Baoliang stretched out his hand and said kindly: "As an official in the same dynasty, you don't have to be restrained, go together and be a companion." ”

The 'newcomer' was overjoyed, but he didn't expect Prime Minister Hou Cheng to take the initiative to talk to him, and obediently followed Hou Baoliang out, consciously half a step behind.

"The old man's memory is not very good, and I don't know where the Lord Sen is.

Looking at the age of adults, they should not be at the age of confusion, and it is really remarkable to sit in such a high position at such a young age. Hou Baoliang in front of him said.

"Xia Guan is a person from Jiangning Mansion, and nine years ago, he was lucky to enter the Shi and the first, and he was made up as a professor in Mizhou.

Three years ago, he was transferred to Taixue Xuezheng, and he was just promoted to the governor of the government this year.

The official Qin Mingjuni, the word will be, and the prime minister can call it a meeting. Qin Hui honestly explained the origin of his name, hoping to climb the high branch in front of him.

"Qin Hui. ”

When Hou Baoliang heard this, he muttered, nodded, kept his name in his heart, glanced at Qin Hui, who was low-eyebrowed, and said in a low voice: "Don't be smart in the future." ”

When Qin Hui heard this, he was puzzled, but he still smiled and said, "The prime minister taught me a lesson." ”

Hou Baoliang sneered, put his hands behind his back, looked around, got closer to Qin Huan, and whispered: "You must know, this Chinese martial arts official, which is not a smart person."

His Majesty has always refused to set up a concubine, why don't we say anything about it.

The old man has been following His Majesty for twenty-four years, and he has never seen him fall in love with any woman.

Well, maybe there's one.

This man, with power, either loves money or lustful.

Of course, there are also many virtuous people like Huang Yushi who are wholeheartedly for the country and the people, and have clean sleeves.

But even if Your Majesty doesn't love money, for the sake of the people of the Great Song Dynasty, he should consider opening a harem and giving birth to a dragon son to stabilize the society.

In short, His Majesty has not been close to women for so many years, either he is infatuated with one person, or he is ...... Hehe. ”

The reader's mind is not much, Qin Hui can understand it at one point, suddenly realized, and said solemnly: "Thank you for the grace of the Prime Minister, Qin will definitely take the Prime Minister as the head of the future in the future." ”

Qin Hui's words meant that he had joined Hou Baoliang's faction, and then he frowned slightly, and said worriedly: "It seems that Qin Mou has done evil to His Majesty today, and I am afraid that his career will be bumpy in the future." ”

Hou Baoliang's generous palm patted Qin Hui on the shoulder and comforted: "It's okay, Your Majesty, this person is the most holy monarch in all dynasties.

As long as you say it, it is for the country and the people.

Your Majesty will not blame you.

I can't say that because of today's words, Your Majesty will value you more. ”

Qin Hui's face turned from worry to joy, and if there were really people in the officialdom, he could do it smoothly.

So he worked harder to curry favor with Hou Baoliang.

......

Huang Shang returned to the mansion and informed his family about his resignation.

Huang Shang's children have their own careers, and they have long been accustomed to life in Kaifeng and are reluctant to leave.

Of course, Huang Shang will not force it, and children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren.

Almost all of the gold and silver rewarded by His Majesty were left to his children.

As for the 100,000 acres of land in Zhongzhou City, the children don't seem to look down on it.

After all, Kaifeng is now worth every inch of land, and a large mansion near the city center is worth 100,000 acres of land in that remote area.

Huang Shang packed up the fine and soft, in fact, most of them are books, basically Confucian and Taoist classics.

led his great-grandson Huang Ping, sat in the carriage driven by the servant, and went to his hometown.
