"Daddy, are you a little reluctant?" Looking at his father looking at the gate of the Zhao Mansion that was about to close with a look of nostalgia, Zhao Zheng, who was already twelve years old, asked. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"After all, I've lived there for more than ten years, and I really want to leave, and I really can't bear it!" Zhao Feng did not deny it. I have been in this world for so many years, and I have been wandering before, and it was not until I came to Xichuan that I settled down a little. If you want to talk about the feeling of home, this place brings you the most. Pengcheng, Lujiang, Chaisang and even Hanshou cannot be compared.

"Lock the door, let's go!" Zhao Feng took one last look and turned his head to command. Since the holy decree required him to leave Xichuan within three days, he traveled lightly and did not take many things with him. Zhao Feng has also purchased some properties in Xichuan over the years, but his family has a big business, and he doesn't care about this thing, so he gave his surname to the servants in the house, and he only left Xichuan with a few retinues and two carriages. The Shu road is difficult to travel, and the previous few times he took the waterway in order to be in a hurry. Now that I'm not in a hurry to do anything, the surname Suo will take the land route, which can be regarded as a taste of Shu Road.

"Daddy, I really didn't expect you to resign. I didn't expect that Your Majesty would let you go like this, you really gave him so much credit for nothing! Sitting in the car, Zhao Zheng suddenly said with some indignation.

"Silly son, you'll understand why Daddy did this. It's just that Zheng'er, you have to remember that if you devote yourself to your career in the future, you must remember that the most important thing for an official is to seek benefits for the common people in the world, so that you are worthy of the Son of Heaven and the people of Li. As for some personal gains and losses, many times it is not so important! Zhao Feng patiently enlightened.

"The child remembers, to be honest, Daddy, the child really admires you today, and his mood is always so peaceful and cheerful!" Zhao Zheng seemed to have grown up a lot suddenly, and sighed seriously. Zhao Feng listened to his son's words, and touched his head lovingly, but didn't say anything. The group walked quietly, and outsiders looked like a big family traveling, but they didn't expect that the person in the car would be a generation of famous generals who moved the world. By the time the new Yizhou Mu Lu Xun and his wife were ready to see him off, Zhao Feng had already gone far.

"Bo Yan, let's go back!" Seeing her husband standing in front of the Zhao Mansion with some amazement, ignoring the cold wind, Sun Shangxiang also persuaded. Lu Xun sighed lightly, and then spoke: "General Zhao has promoted me many times, and his kindness is as heavy as a mountain. Now that he's gone, I haven't even been able to send him, it's really uneasy! ”

"I think, General Zhao just didn't want to be too loud, so he left quietly early in the morning!" Sun Shangxiang said quietly, and there was no resentment in his tone. The couple sighed for a long time before going back. For them, life is about to enter a new stage.

Zhao Feng's family went all the way out of Xichuan in a low-key manner, along the Shu Road to Yong'an, through Yidu to Jingnan, and then took the waterway to Chaisang. Staying overnight in an inn under the Zhen family's industry, Zhao Feng also inquired clearly, his old house in Chaisang is still there, and the current Chaisang County Order is Cao Wei's Yangzhou Thorn History in history, Zhuge Liang's brother Zhuge Sao. Zhao Feng himself is a cadre who has stepped down, and he doesn't want to have anything to do with the people in the officialdom anymore, so the surname Suo is closed to the guests, and in addition to instructing his son in articles and martial arts, the rest is to manage business and accounts, and then make love and affection with his wife. Although half of the Zhen family's property has been inherited by his brother-in-law, that is, the younger brother of the Zhen family's sisters, the messy Zhen family over the years, as well as some properties given to him by Mi Zhu, plus some fishing grounds and manors purchased by himself, are also a lot. Zhao Feng hasn't paid much attention to these things, and now that he is no longer an official, Liu Bei doesn't pay him a salary, and if he wants to live, he still needs to pick up these things.

Not surprisingly, Zhao Feng's resignation caused a lot of stirring in the court that had just been in the city. When many people knew the news, it was already Lu Xun who took over as Yizhou pastor. And he walked too fast, and he didn't tell anyone where he was going, and even Liu Bei didn't know about him for a while. It wasn't until a month later that Liu Bei learned from Zhuge Liang that Zhao Feng had returned to Chaisang.

"In other words, Bo Tao is closed in Chaisang, and he doesn't care about anything anymore?" When Liu Bei heard this, he was also a little surprised.

"Exactly, General Zhao is now a civilian, so naturally he doesn't want to take care of things anymore, and he can't take care of it anymore!" Zhuge Liang replied honestly. With his wisdom, there are also some sighs between his words. retired so simply in his prime that Zhuge Liang asked himself if he was afraid that he would not be able to do it. Liu Bei was silent for a long time, and suddenly asked, "Kong Ming, what are you thinking about at the moment?" I'm afraid that the bird is hiding the bow, and the rabbit is dead and the dog is cooking! ”

"Your Majesty, the minister would not dare to have such a thought!" Zhuge Liang was shocked when he heard Liu Bei's words, and hurriedly knelt down to plead guilty.

"Well, you don't need to worry about it, I know your loyalty. I'm still relieved of you! Liu Bei sighed. To say that in this world, there are only a few people who he is really relieved of, but there are still a few people who really can't understand. The two monarchs and ministers were silent for a long time, but at this time, they heard a report from the inner servant, saying that Zhao Yun asked to see him.

"Zilong, what's the matter?" Liu Bei also asked a little strangely when he saw Zhao Yun coming, and he still looked like he wanted to speak and stopped.

"Your Majesty, the minister has thought about it again and again, and feels that with the power of the minister, he is really not worthy of the post of hussar general, so he implores His Majesty to withdraw his order. In addition, the minister was very tired after working hard for half his life, and wanted to resign from his official position to His Majesty and return to his hometown to support his old age. Zhao Yun gritted his teeth, and said all the surnames of Suo.

"What, Zilong, are you too?" Liu Bei was shocked when he heard this, looking at Zhao Yun with a firm face in front of him, Liu Bei was also stunned for a while, and then sighed for a while and said: "I have worked hard for decades, and now I have finally calmed the four seas and clarified the domain, and I wanted to share the wealth with all the secretaries, why, why are you in such a hurry to leave me?" ”

"Your Majesty, the minister has only this wish, and I hope that Your Majesty will approve it!" Zhao Yun didn't say anything, just pleaded in a firm tone. Liu Bei looked at Zhao Yun, and finally waved his hand weakly, and said astringently: "Let's go, let's go, just leave me alone to be the emperor here!" Let's go, let me go! After speaking, he angrily overturned a plate on the table and left hatefully, leaving behind a group of silent waiters and Zhao Yun, who was a little overwhelmed. After a while, Zhuge Liang gently pulled Zhao Yun's sleeve, and the latter came back to his senses and followed Zhuge Liang.

In the next few days, there were other civil and military dignitaries who resigned to Liu Bei, including Xu Shu, the assassin of Xuzhou, and Lu Su, the prime minister who was sick in bed. Liu Bei sighed, but also agreed one by one. That night, Liu Bei picked up the "Fengshen List" again and looked at it, he has been reading this book recently, and he is almost about to finish it.

"Everyone has their own ambitions!" Liu Bei also sighed when he saw the end. In the book, Li Jing's father and son, as well as Yang Jian and others, all did not want to be officials, and would rather go back to the mountains to cultivate, seeing this, Liu Bei suddenly understood, maybe Zhao Feng thought of these things in his heart when he compiled this book. I have been worried in vain for so many years, but in the end, I am a villain in vain.

That night, Liu Bei had a rare insomnia.

In the afternoon of the next day, Liu Bei specially summoned Zhuge Liang. "Kong Ming, Zijing, are they all gone?" Liu Bei asked faintly.

"They're all gone!" Zhuge Liang said cautiously. Accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, even if it is Zhuge Liang, he also feels that the pressure on his body is a lot more than before. This pressure naturally comes from Liu Bei.

"I thought about it all night last night, you said that like Bo Tao and Zi Jing them, they have done so much for the Han Jiangshan Society over the years, but in the end I let them leave in such a miserable and panic. For so many years, I haven't been able to give them even a little benefit, and if I continue like this, I'm afraid it will also chill the courtiers! Liu Bei sighed.

"Your Majesty is serious!" Zhuge Liang knew that Liu Bei was really emotional this time. It's no wonder that so many people said they would leave, which also hit Liu Bei deeply. It's just that Zhuge Liang is at this time, and it's not good to persuade Liu Bei anymore.

"In this way, Kong Ming, you will draw up the decree for me. Zhao Botao, Lu Zijing, Xu Yuanzhi, Zhao Zilong and other court officials, although the important ministers of the society resigned from their official positions and allowed them to return to their hometowns, they were still young and were not allowed to return to the fields for retirement. It is not on one side, but it can enjoy the worship of the imperial court. If it is a national event, then do the consultation. Liu Bei thought about it and said.

"Your Majesty, what are you?" Zhuge Liang didn't know why Liu Bei did this, but he heard Liu Bei sigh and said, "In this way, maybe they can feel at ease!" ”

"Alas!" Zhuge Liang sighed lightly and didn't mention it. After a few days, several holy decrees were successively issued to Chaisang, Linhuai, Changshan, Yingyang and other places to restore Zhao Feng, Lu Su and others, who were already unofficial and light, and the marquis of the prince or marquis, so that they could retire at home with peace of mind. Although these titles have too much real power, they also ensure that they are not exploited by the local government, and they have a high salary, so that they can live at home with peace of mind. In fact, other people are still there, the idea is Xu Shu, he hasn't bought himself any property over the years, and if he doesn't pay him a salary, he will have to beg for food in a few years.

"Come on, it seems that it's really not easy to make Lao Liu completely forget about me!" Zhao Feng, ah no, the freshly baked Chai Sanghou, looking at the holy decree that had just been issued in his hand, was also a little helpless. But his son has nothing to do with himself, and he can still persuade the old god on the ground: "Daddy, although His Majesty has named you the Marquis of Chaisang, but he doesn't ask you to take care of anything, and the food is only a county in Chaisang." All you have to do is catch the thief or something, and that's pretty much it! ”

"Yes, it's still a baby son who can think about it!" Zhao Feng smiled and patted Zhao Zheng's head. He pondered carefully, and now his title of Chai Sanghou is almost the same as those in the Tang and Song dynasties, such as Luo Cheng in the Tang Dynasty and Cao Bin in the Song Dynasty. Aside from a slight fiefdom, there aren't many other privileges. That's fine, it's a little difficult to do things with too few privileges, and it's a little troublesome if there are too many, and now I'm just like this as a rich man, which is almost right.

Liu Bei's series of actions did not bring a lot of convenience to Zhao Feng and his cadres who stepped down. But for the entire Han, it has no impact. Although Zhao Feng and the others have retired, Zhuge Liang, Gu Yong, Lu Xun, Ma Tan, Zhang Ren and other military generals are still there, and relying on the imperial examination system, they can also select a steady stream of talents to contribute to the newly prosperous Han court. For several years, the whole world was peaceful.

Four years later, that is, in the fifth year of Zhang Wu, Wei Yan, then the assassin of Qingzhou, played Liu Bei, the emperor of Zhaolie, saying that some ronins and wanderers of unknown origin have appeared in the coastal area recently, burning, killing and looting, but they do not understand their words. After Wei Yan sent troops to exterminate them, the interrogation of the prisoners could not be found. Wei Yan had no choice but to play the court and wait for disposal. Coincidentally, similar news came from Huiji, Liaodong and other places, and Huo Jun, the king of Gaoliang who guarded Yizhou, asked for support one after another.
