Chapter 1029: Retire with Success

The fleet galloped through the night, sailing into the camp of the Hangzhou Bay Navy in the early morning, and Zhao Hao did not stop for a moment after disembarking, and rode back to the city. But he did not return to the palace, but went straight to the Mingqing Division, Master Yuan Miao did not live in the palace since his wedding, led a few disciples to practice in the nearby Mingqing Temple, and only entered the palace on the tenth day of the month to guide him to practice martial arts.

Most of the Buddhist temples in Lin'an City are official temples, Mingqing Temple often holds sacrifices and prayers here after the imperial court crosses to the south, all the royal and military bureaucrats every grand festival or the Christmas day of the emperor and queen, the courtiers also hold a grand ceremony here, so people who know people regard Mingqing Temple as the great Xiangguo Temple in Tokyo that year, and it can be seen that the status is lofty.

Later, several emperors believed in Taoism and built many Taoist temples in the city, but they could not affect the prominent status of Mingqing Temple. Although the incense became increasingly depressed after the loss of the country, it flourished again with the return of the dynasty, not only restored its former status, but also the queen mother often came here to incense and donate money to repair, as if it was regarded as a royal temple. But when Zhao Hao rushed to the temple in a hurry, it was still too late, and Yuan Miao had already led a group of disciples to leave the temple and go south.

Zhao Hao couldn't help but feel sad when he heard this, and retreated from everyone, leaving Yuan Miao's retreat alone. There is only a couch, a case, and a futon in the monk's house, which is extremely simple, and there is nothing superfluous, and he sits on the futon dejectedly, as if he wants to feel the breath left behind, but what is left for him is the melancholy and complaint and lingering sadness of people going to the empty house.

"Ten years of master-apprentice love, why didn't you say goodbye...... Zhao Yu didn't expect Yuan Miao to leave him one day, but when it really happened, it was still difficult to accept, and he couldn't help but complain and muttered. He knew that Yuan Miao left quietly, in addition to the fact that the current situation has stabilized and there is no need to worry about his life, it is likely that it will be difficult to let go of the feelings of being like a master and father for many years, and he is worried that he will hesitate at that moment, so he will choose to leave in this way.

Although Hangzhou and Quanzhou are separated by only a few thousand miles, they are like a moat in ancient times, and the hardships are not something that modern people can experience, so it can be said that life and death are parting. Backward transportation, backward communications, a go out may be a few months, or even the last year, it can be said that once you go out, life and death by the sky, so to the ancestral road that is sacrificed, relatives and friends to set up a banquet farewell.

Anyway, this is why there was a saying of "practice" before, every parting may be a parting of life and death, of course, we have to eat and drink together! Once you've done that, you'll be on your way with peace of mind. And there can't be shops everywhere on the road, and it is inevitable that you will eat and sleep in the open. Where people are sparsely populated, there may also be jackals, tigers and leopards on the way, and bandits infested with them. Even waterways can affect travel due to changes in weather and water direction, and the danger is quite high. When the envoys of the Great Song Dynasty went to Goryeo, there were eight ships and seven ships overturned.

Therefore, as soon as Yuan Miao leaves, it is almost impossible to return to the capital at his age. Although Zhao Yu is in the prime of life, he doesn't need to think about these problems when he goes out, but as an emperor, it is not easy for him to go far away. Looking back on the previous emperors of the Great Song Dynasty, except for the founding Emperor Taizu and Emperor Taizong, most of them went around at the gate of the capital.

Thinking that a farewell may be a farewell, Zhao Yu was even more sad, he couldn't help but cry like rain, but he couldn't cry out in pain like ordinary people, he could only bury his head in his chest and weep silently, although he tried his best to avoid his fragile side from being shown in front of others, but his shoulders that shrugged from time to time still betrayed him......

"How is Your Majesty?" The news of the emperor's return to Beijing had already reached the court, but he did not return to the palace for a long time, and Wang De and others, who were guarding the temple, did not see His Majesty come out until the afternoon, and they did not dare to enter without permission. Worried that he could only go to the queen mother and the queen, and they were not convenient to leave the palace, the queen mother ordered the courtiers to come to persuade him, he hurried to see Wang De and others like ants on a hot pot outside the door, so he stepped forward and asked.

"Governor, Your Majesty was very sad when he heard that Master Yuan Miao had left Beijing, and he never came out of the house after entering the house!" Wang De breathed a sigh of relief, he knew that the little emperor was the most respectful and strict, and he was the only one who could persuade His Majesty, so he hurriedly bowed and said.

"Has Your Majesty ever eaten?" Ying Jieyan frowned and asked again.

"After Your Majesty got the news that Master Yuan Miao was leaving Beijing yesterday, he ordered to return to the ship without having lunch, and only drank a little porridge for dinner, and he didn't sleep well all night. As soon as the ship docked at the port this morning, it came non-stop, and the water and rice have not yet touched the teeth! Wang De hurriedly replied.

"Haven't you come into the house to see? I'm not afraid of something going wrong! Liu Huang said a little angrily beside him.

"Governor Liu should also know His Majesty's temper, where does he dare to enter without summoning a small one!" Wang De said with a wry smile when he heard this.

"Then your majesty doesn't know what he has done in the house?" Liu Huang also knew that what he said was true, but he still couldn't suppress his anger.

"Governor Liu, the little one has also seen it through the crack in the door, and after His Majesty went in, he sat on the futon in a daze, as if he was ...... It's like crying! As the emperor's close attendant, Wang De was of course more concerned about his every move than anyone else, in fact, he was not the only one who saw His Majesty crying, and the guards guarding outside the house also heard his extremely suppressed cry. You must know that for so many years, no matter how difficult it is, they have never seen the emperor cry, and today they are all shocked when they hear it, but they are also moved by it and feel the sadness of the little emperor.

"Your Majesty is crying, how can this be?" Liu Di was also very surprised when he heard it, and he was also incredulous.

"Shengbo, don't be loud!" Ying Jieyan pulled Liu Huang's sleeve and said, "Master Yuan Miao has been with His Majesty for more than ten years, and he has long been like relatives when he gets along day and night, and he leaves suddenly, and it is normal for people to be a little sentimental, so what's strange." ”

"Well, Your Majesty is also a person who values love and righteousness!" Liu Huang nodded. But there is some guilt in their hearts, the words and deeds of the little emperor over the years are different from ordinary people, and they have long stopped treating him as an ordinary person in their hearts, ignoring his age and emotions, and forgetting that he is also a flesh-and-blood person.

"Master Yuan Miao left suddenly, not to mention Your Majesty, even I felt very sad, I thought that he would wait for His Majesty to return before leaving, and I also wanted to set up a banquet for him, but I didn't expect him to leave as soon as he said goodbye, and he didn't even leave a chance to say goodbye!" Ying Jieyan choked up as he spoke, and half-tilted his head so that the tears did not remain.

"Master Yuan Miao is also a strange person, he was originally a clan but gave up glory and wealth and joined the monks. And when the country is in danger, he can stand up to defend the country and protect the Lord, and when he sees the success, he quietly goes to worship the Buddha, and there are few people in the world who can reach it! Liu Huang was infected and sighed.

"What kind of identity is Your Majesty, who is not in awe. But he can teach a lesson without pretending to be a lesson, and he can be punished, His Majesty is not only not annoyed, but more respectful, this pair of master and apprentice can also be called legends. Ying Jieyan agreed very much, and shook his wry smile.

"I am also very worried, now that Master Yuan Miao has returned to Buddhism, and you intend to return to his hometown. But Your Majesty respects you and the two of them the most, and if you leave one after another, I am afraid that no one in the court will be able to advise Your Majesty! "Liu Huang looked at Ying Jieyan, he said many times in private that he wanted to return to his hometown, and the little emperor was now acting more and more 'radical' and could not listen to the advice of his ministers, which made him deeply worried.

"Your Majesty ran the Shuaifu at the age of five, and succeeded to the throne at the age of six, and now it has been more than ten years, and we have completed the responsibility of assisting. And Your Majesty is now in charge of the government and has his own ideas, and I am seventy years old and still rely on the court to not go away, blocking the way of others' promotion, isn't it too uninteresting. Ying Jieyan smiled.

"Although what my father said is reasonable, I am afraid that His Majesty will not give up. Moreover, the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains is imminent, how can you be missing! Liu Huang looked very indifferent, as if he had made up his mind, he frowned.

"Your Majesty is determined to forge ahead, and a group of cadres in the DPRK and China have matured, and with their loyal assistance, great things can be accomplished. And I am also old and famous, and it is time for me to retreat bravely. As for His Majesty, he also understands in his heart that parting with life and death is a common thing, and where is there a banquet in the world that will not be dissolved, but His Majesty values love and righteousness, and it is difficult to give up for a while! Ying Jieyan stroked his snow-white beard and smiled.

"Retire after success...... Or can I see it to my father, and it is time for us to retire after success. Liu Di listened and was silent for a long time.

He knew in his heart that although he usually talked about indifference to fame and fortune, power was too fascinating, and he knew that his career had reached its peak, and it was almost impossible to go further, but he was always lucky. However, after Liu Huang returned to the south of the Yangtze River, the little emperor was eager to forge ahead as Ying Jieyan said, and the will of the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains was very arduous. However, a group of old ministers had a slack heart, and their governing philosophy tended to be conservative, and there were differences with the little emperor's governing program.

Although the little emperor did not explicitly reprimand, he began to vigorously promote those who were close to him, and even issued direct decrees directly across the Zhongshu Sect Province from time to time, and he also understood that this was a gradual decentralization of power and weakening their power. And should be stricter than him to see farther, the current Jiangnan has been decided, the Great Song Dynasty has passed the most dangerous pass, they can be described as the ministers of the assistant can be described as hard work, with the emperor's temperament at this time Zhishi will inevitably treat them well.

But when the differences between the two sides increased day by day, the contradictions intensified, and when it came time to meet the poor dagger, Liu Huang knew that even if the little emperor took into account the feelings of the past, he would not be merciful in the face of the country's righteousness. When it came to the time when the two sides tore their faces, they were forced to give office, and even were demoted, if they did not retire at the moment, they would have completed the friendship of the monarch and the ministers, and they could also protect the descendants of future generations.

Ying Jieyan as the emperor's teacher, was regarded as a reliance by the little emperor, and worked harder than himself, if it weren't for the queen mother and His Majesty repeatedly retained, he would definitely ask for Zhishi. Although Master Yuan Miao is an outsider, he is also a noble person, if he is still vulgar, he must be a prince, but he has gone further and done more decisively, not only won the respect of the emperor, but also left more thoughts. When Liu Huang thought of this, his eyes couldn't help but suddenly open up, and he also had the heart of retreat.

"Governor Ying, Governor Liu, let it go in advance, or try to comfort Your Majesty!" Seeing that the two old men were not in a hurry at this time, they chatted on the side, and Wang De was anxious.

"Don't be anxious, Your Majesty is just because Master Yuan Miao left suddenly, and it is difficult to accept it for a while, let him vent it will be better, it is better than holding back his illness!" Ying Jie Yan smiled and comforted Wang Dedao.

"But Your Majesty hasn't rested for two days, and he hasn't eaten for another day, and the little one is still worried!" Wang De said with a bitter face.

"If you are concerned, you will be chaotic, in wartime, Your Majesty often forgets to sleep and eat, and does not sleep for many days, and nothing has happened, so it doesn't matter for a day." should be strict and strict.

"This ...... This, the small one is worried that once Master Yuan Miao leaves, His Majesty will be devastated because of this! If someone else said such a thing, even if Wang De didn't fight with him, he would have to be charged with disrespect, but it seemed reasonable to say it from Ying Jieyan's mouth, and he didn't dare to be abrupt at all, so that he couldn't refute it, but his concern was still undiminished.

"No, Your Majesty is not an ordinary person, he has seen the wind and waves, and has experienced the difference between life and death, this little thing is still difficult to defeat Your Majesty, and it will be fine in the future in a while." Liu Huang also watched his nervous appearance from the sidelines, and also spoke out to explain.

"I hope so!" Wang De's face eased slightly, but he was still worried.

"Your Majesty is out!" At this moment, with the creak of the door shaft, the little emperor walked out of the monk's house. Wang De turned his face to look at it, only to see that his eyes were red and swollen, his face was still stained with tears, his lips were chapped and peeled, and there were two shiny bubbles. But when he came out, he was shaken by the sun, and his body couldn't help shaking twice, and he hurriedly stepped forward to support him.

"Your Majesty!" Ying Jieyan and Liu Huang also looked the little emperor up and down at the same time, and saw that although his spirit was a little sluggish, he was fine, so he hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

"Aiqing is flat!" Zhao Yu stood firm, raised his hand and said, "Spread my will, Feng Yuanmiao will be the great master of the Great Song Dynasty, and allocate two million yuan to rebuild the Shaolin Temple in Quanzhou. The states and counties through which the mage master returns will be provided with convenience, and he shall not be neglected, and the violators will be severely punished! ”

"The ministers obey the order, and they will draw up the will immediately after the court, and the edict will be issued to the place!" Ying Jieyan and Liu Huang were also relieved when they heard this, and the little emperor issued an edict to enshrine Yuan Miao, indicating that he had accepted the reality, and after passing the hurdle in his heart, he immediately gave a salute.

"Is there water? I'm dying of thirst! After the decree was issued, Zhao Yu turned his face and asked Wang De for waterways.

"Yes, yes, submit it quickly, the small ones have already been dried for the official family!" Hearing that the little emperor asked for water to drink, Wang De also put his mind at ease and hurriedly urged the little yellow door to bring the dried tea.

"Hiccup", Zhao Yu drank several cups of tea one after another, and burped, "It's not early, let's go back to the palace!" ”

"Your Majesty has an edict, drive back to the palace!" Wang De was originally worried that the little emperor would not return to the palace and would stay here for a few days, but now he wanted to go back, so he shouted with great joy......
