The traffic in ancient times is not as backward as people think, of course, this only refers to the road, at least all kinds of pipelines, plank roads, folk trails everywhere, and can barely be called accessible, but the ancient transportation capacity is too low, like the official family, especially once there is an urgent situation that needs to pass on the news, the entire Ming Dynasty more than 1,400 post stations will naturally be full supply of horses and other things, but if it is a civilian, it is very inconvenient.

Especially for those who need to go out to run errands, for example, if a scholar who lives in the countryside is lifted, and wants to go to Beijing to take the exam, to win fame or something, I am afraid that they have to set off nearly a month in advance, and I don't know how long it will take to go back and forth.

Therefore, it is natural to say goodbye to the people who are going to travel, after all, it will not be able to see each other for a long time, and the farewell at the time of parting is also more precious.

Outside the capital, Shili Pavilion, here is for pedestrians to shelter from the wind and rain, cool and cold and rest, like this kind of pavilion, almost every village outside the country, but here has become a place for people to say goodbye to each other, and this pavilion in the capital is more different.

Beijing, as the capital of the Ming Dynasty, the world's largest vanity fair, countless people came for the ideal, but some left with a glorious body, and some lost all their belongings and left in disgrace, of course, there are also those who can't even leave here alive to live a stable life, and here, it has also become a place where people say goodbye to relatives and friends when they leave Beijing, sometimes happy, or lamenting, in short, here, contains too much.

Today seems to be a beautiful day, but in the middle of summer, there is no scorching sun today, and the white clouds in the sky also block a lot of sunlight, plus today's breeze gusts, it does not seem too hot.

Outside the capital, Shili Pavilion, now there are a lot of people gathered here, there are Longqing specially transferred from the Imperial Forest Army to escort Li Chunfang home, of course, these people are not the most noteworthy camp is not the most noteworthy, the most should be known is that there are now some court officials gathered here, of course, Gao Gong's group will not come, after all, it is too strange to come to send off people who have a deep gap for themselves, and Gao Gong's temperament of directly repaying grievances, let him make this kind of obviously against his will, It's really a little difficult, so most of the people here today are some people who can talk to Li Chunfang on weekdays, but this number is very small.

Saying goodbye to friends one by one, most of the people who came to say goodbye had a trace of regret on their faces, as if they felt that Li Chunfang left like this, although the ending was good, but after all, speaking of which, Li Chunfang also had to return to his hometown because of the high arch, indeed, this is not the best ending in the eyes of many people.

But Li Chunfang didn't show any pity, or an unwilling expression, it was completely a very happy look, in Li Chunfang's view, he can have today's ending, it is already very good, he has experienced decades of ups and downs in the court, never took the initiative to express his opinion, and has never raised any objections to someone, Li Chunfang, who was able to stimulate a high arch before parting, made him feel very happy, and more importantly, Li Chunfang, who is quite old now, really feels a little tired, and really doesn't want to continue to mix in this vanity fair, although his ending is not perfect, but in Li Chunfang's opinion, he is the best.

This time, Xu Jie's family also has to follow Li Chunfang back to Jiangnan, and now Xu Jie's is also here, saying goodbye to the people present, saying that when Xu Jie's official was in the court, he was extremely majestic, and he was extremely serious about anyone or anything, which also made many people a little afraid of Xu Jie, when he was in the court, there were not many people who could talk to Xu Jie, even if they were in the same camp as Xu Jie, there were many people who were afraid of Xu Jie. Therefore, not many people can talk to Xu Jie.

Therefore, Xu Jie's appearance here today, at the beginning, except for Li Chunfang, Zhang Juzheng and other people who would come forward to talk to him, other people were not willing to go up and talk to Xu Jie.

But it didn't take long for Xu Jie to stand there alone, no one went up to talk to him at all, looking at Li Chunfang's side was a crowd of people, but Xu Jie, who was standing alone on the side, was very calm, without any trace of embarrassment on his face, it seemed that he didn't care if he would come to say goodbye to him, and it was right to think about it, anyway, everyone came to see off Li Chunfang today, Li Chunfang is the protagonist today, Xu Jie naturally doesn't have to worry about these "little things".

However, Xu Jie doesn't care, it doesn't mean that others won't, everyone present saw Xu Jie's appearance standing alone, and most of them also felt that it was really a little uncomfortable to let him be so isolated as a septuagenarian, but if he wanted to think so, but if he really wanted to let any of them go up first to be cold-faced, it is estimated that no one would be willing.

However, there will always be this first person, whether it is a whim for a while, or he has plucked up the courage after thinking about it for a long time, in short, this first person has finally gone up, however, this person has come to Xu Jie, and he has already regretted it before he opened his mouth, but since the person has arrived in front of Xu Jie, it is impossible to regret it again and turn away.

Stiffly, this person had no choice but to open his mouth to greet him with a wooden expression and tone, but what he didn't expect was that Xu Jie didn't show any displeasure about this, but instead had a happy expression on his face, as if he was very happy to have someone come over to talk to him.

With such a good beginning, the people who are observing behind them have eliminated the burden of mental energy, and they are naturally willing to go up and say a few words to Xu Jie, not for anything else, just say that although Xu Jie is now a Zhishi homecoming, but after all, he is the patriarch of the Jiajing and Longqing dynasties, and he is also a great hero who overthrew Yan Song back then, although the two emperors are a little annoying to him, but they will never disrespect him, plus Xu Jie is also a protégé and former officials all over the court and the opposition, not to mention anything else, just say that this Zhang Juzheng, As long as anyone with a discerning eye can see that the position of the first assistant of the cabinet will inevitably be his in the future, although at this time it is said that he will please Xu Jie, it is already a little late, but it is better to be able to say two sentences than not to say anything, you must know, fate and luck, it is really wonderful, in the future, maybe it is just these two sentences, maybe it will be able to bring about a huge change, this is something that no one can predict, besides, anyway, there is no waste of a few drops of saliva, so why not.

In short, after this, Xu Jie's side was also lively, although there were not many people coming, but they could talk so harmoniously, this meeting looked like a normal farewell ceremony, without any previous political views, or personal grievances, it was completely a conversation between colleagues who had been officials with the same dynasty, even if many of them always had some unexplained selfishness in their hearts, but at least in terms of the scene at this moment, It really makes people feel a little warmer.

"Yo, Lord Zhang has arrived," Seeing Zhang Fan riding over, Li Chunfang said and took the initiative to greet him.

"Master Li, there are some things in Zhang Fan's palace that are busy and have been delayed for some hours," Zhang Fan came to Li Chunfang and arched his hand and said, "Today is such a day, but Zhang Fan is late, it really shouldn't be,"

"Alas, what did Master Zhang say," how could Li Chunfang blame Zhang Fan, "It's good to be busy, busy means that you are the time when you are reused by the emperor, if you are like me now, you can't be busy even if you want to, then it's troublesome,"

Hearing Li Chunfang's joke, Zhang Fan also laughed, and suddenly, he looked into the pavilion and said with some doubts, "Why is it that I saw off Lord Li today, but I didn't see water and wine,"

"Alas, that's the case," Li Chunfang said, "Xu Ge and I are also not young, and besides, we are about to leave, there are so many people here, if you drink like this, I'm afraid it will be ......."

"Then you can't drink a glass of wine, isn't that too rude," Zhang Fan said, and let Wang Meng, who was carrying a jar of wine on the side, come over and said, "Before leaving the palace, His Majesty specially asked Zhang Fan to bring the imperial wine, which was used as a farewell between Lord Li and Xu Ge Laopao,"

Saying this, Zhang Fan had already instructed Wang Meng to prepare, and this cup and everything were available.

"Since it's not appropriate to drink too much, let's toast the two of you together," Zhang Fan proposed.

The people on the side naturally agreed.

Taking advantage of the pouring of wine, Zhang Fan came to Xu Jie's side again and said to him: "Elder Ge, you still have to be careful after you go back,"

Hearing Zhang Fan's words, Xu Jie was not puzzled, but instead showed a solemn look, and asked, "Why, what wind did you hear, Gao Gong couldn't sit still,"

"It's not," Zhang Fan shook his head and said, "I didn't hear any rumors, but ...... It's just that according to Gao Gong's temperament, it is probably quite difficult to let him completely let go of the grudge between him and the elder of the pavilion, plus although he failed this time, he also suffered a lot of resentment, I am afraid that this resentment is difficult to settle,"

"Alas......" Xu Jie sighed and said, "It's no wonder that he is not guilty, it was all the trouble that the old man caused himself back then, and he will ...... in the future Look again,"
