When the autumn is high and cool, the osmanthus flowers in Jinling City are fragrant, and it is the Mid-Autumn Festival of the year in the blink of an eye. The entire land of the Central Plains is filled with a joyful atmosphere. Even those military families whose relatives are away are as sweet as honey in the face of the sincere 'greetings' sent by the court and the society one after another.

The government first sent condolences, then donations from all walks of life, and finally Emperor Lu personally published a speech on 15 August, all of which showed their concern and concern for them.

With the good news that the war between Tianzhu and Tianfang is going smoothly - the Chola Kingdom has rebelled, but the Xizaro Dynasty has still not raised troops. Wu Erlang and Luan Junshi sat in Tianzhu, and then there were sailors to cooperate in the battle, and the battle of Tianzhu was still in the palm of Emperor Lu's hand. Both the government and the opposition were overjoyed.

But at this time when the whole country is happy, some bad news is also circulating in private.

A certain king has a tyrannical temperament, is fierce and ruthless, and slaughters the city at every turn, killing and injuring countless people, and greatly hurting the heavens and ......

A certain king regarded human life as a mustard and set fire to the city, which was unbearable......

There are many rumors about several sons, but there is no one who does not have one.

With the control of Jinling City by the Security Division, Lu Qian couldn't even find out who was spreading rumors. The battle report sent from heaven, he has always sent a part of it and left a part of it.

This is clearly not an 'accident'.

Of course, he understands in his heart what is going on, and as for whether everyone is making a move, the world is as black as a crow, and revealing his 'pure goodness' at this time will only look very feminine.

……

It was also at this time that Zhang Xiaochun returned to Beijing. He was demoted to Japan because of his mistakes, and then he went around Korea and Nanyang, and then went to Tianzhu, and now he has been transferred back to the Central Plains, which is also a matter of course.

When he came back from Tianzhu by boat, he naturally didn't know about Tianfang and several princes and uncles. He only knew that his long-cherished wish had finally come true.

When people reach old age, it is also a great joy to be able to 'be born into the Jade Gate Pass'.

Without the experience of wandering all the year round, and without the sense of crisis of old age, Ban Dingyuan's mood of "not daring to look at Jiuquan County, but wishing to be born in Yumen Pass" is not experienced by ordinary people.

Zhang Xiaochun did not faintly learn some news from his son Zhang Hao, who served in Shanghai and Hong Kong, until the ship stopped in Shanghai and Hong Kong. Zhang Hao is a mediocre person, that is, he had his father in his early years and was mixed in the army. Later, he simply changed his career to become a police officer. This person has a lot of flavor from the Zhao and Song dynasties, and because of his background, the military generals are not like military generals, but more like a literati.

After changing careers, with his 'gentleness', although he could not rise to prominence quickly, he also developed in the police system. I understand something in the dark.

From Shanghai and Hong Kong to Jinling, after landing, take a carriage and rush towards the city. When I arrived outside the city gate, I saw a green cloth car waiting in the distance, and there was a 'Li' word plate painted with cloud patterns. Isn't it Li Guang who has not been seen for many years sitting in the car!

I haven't seen him for many years, and Li Taiding, who was in his prime back then, is now also gray.

From afar, he hurried over: "Brother Yongxi! Don't come unharmed! ”

Li Guang and Zhang Xiaochun did not have too deep friendship, and Li Guang gave Zhang Xiaochun a platform so that he could overpower Guo Yong to take over as governor of Qilu, but it was not out of personal friendship. Guo Yong was too harsh, and he was able to calm down one side in troubled times, but Qilu at that time needed Zhang Xiaochun with a sleek personality more than Guo Yong.

However, because of the harshness of the immigration bureau at that time, the incident of baby drowning broke out again in Qilu, just to reduce the family size and keep the per capita income from falling below the red line of 50 yuan. After the incident broke out, Emperor Lu was furious, and the Qilu officialdom was shaken.

Whether it's Zhang Xiaochun or Li Guang, they all work hard for it.

And the real friendship between the two began with this shared tribulation. Zhang Xiaochun still has his own bottom line, and he took the initiative to take a lot of fault above the responsibility, he has always been floating outside all these years, but Li Guang returned to the Central Plains after going around in the claw, and that is not without reason.

Of course, Li Guang stumbled again in his tenure as governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and no one else is to blame. Although Emperor Lu dismissed Li Guang from his post as governor, he raised the board high and put it down gently, which already showed his attitude.

Otherwise, why did he lie dormant a little, and then sit in the Xuanzheng Division again?

Zhang Xiaochun is already older than Li Guang, and now he looks even older. Li Guang's mind is still the same as Zhang Xiaochun in the past, but now his eyes are moist when he looks like him.

"Brother Xian, don't come unharmed!"

"When I said goodbye, I was a teenager in the blink of an eye, and my brother often dreamed that he was Brother Yongxi!" Li Guang said with tears in his eyes.

"Yes, I didn't know that I hadn't seen you for so many years. Are you alright? Look at you, you're much older than you were back then. So saying, the two got into the carriage.

"yes, it's different. The grandchildren have all been married, and the time is gone. "Both of them are old, they don't have the motivation they had back then, and they don't have the fame/ambition they had back then.

"My brother has entered Beijing this time, why don't you find a half-official position in Beijing. Why bother to suffer from that rush and toil again? Li Guang smiled.

"I'm not that ambitious! To be born in the Central Plains, this life is enough. Zhang Xiaochun said with a smile.

With a joke, the carriage stopped. But he has already arrived at Zhang's Mansion.

Although Zhang Xiaochun's career is unsatisfactory, his grade is not low, and the title on his head has not been deposed. After Emperor Lu moved the capital to Jinling, Zhang Hao bought a house in Jinling.

The next day, Zhang Xiaochun handed over the sign to ask for it, but he thought he couldn't see it.

Unexpectedly, Lu Qian announced his audience that afternoon.

In the Xuande Pavilion, Lu Qian met Zhang Xiaochun in the small study. didn't let him bow down, with a wave of his hand, the attendant on the side had already hugged Zhang Xiaochun.

I haven't seen him for more than ten years, and Lu Qian's face to Zhang Xiaochun has long been blurred. But Zhang Xiaochun remembered Emperor Lu very clearly. After such a long time, he has snow-white temples and gray hair, and he has truly entered old age. But Lu Qian looked at Wu Ziru as a strong man in the prime of life, but his age, if Zhang Xiaochun remembered correctly, he would be sixty years younger.

"Sit down." Lu Qian said: "You have worked hard all these years. "Although it was degraded, Zhang Xiaochun traveled several places, did his duty, and did a good job!

Temasek, for example, has faded from the colour of the military port, and although it is known to be the home port of the Nanyang Naval Division, the number of merchant ships coming and going has now taken shape.

Zhang Xiaochun made a great effort, and it started with Zhang Xiaochun that Temasek changed its positioning from a military port to a repot port and a military port.

"After many years of overseas service, Zhang Qing has worked hard and made great achievements, and this time he returned to Beijing to facilitate the placement of Beijing teachers. My sons have all grown up, and I want you to be a teacher for the prince, learn this ability to govern the people's livelihood, and lead the military academy with the secretary, I don't know what to do? "Lu Qian is also lenient enough. found such a suitable position for Zhang Xiaochun.

Zhang Xiaochun was very excited, he naturally understood the subtext of the emperor's words, those princes who were still studying in the sergeant academy were hopeless, but this was also a good position for him to take care of.

"Old minister...... I am willing to die for my majesty and your majesty. Zhang Xiaochun knelt down.
