Two hundred and five, resignation
The people in Qiuchi still respect Liang Weng, so no one even accepts night incense like they did for Du Mao's family. But the people of the Liang Mansion still heard a lot of criticism and blamed Liang Weng for going against the sky.
Officials other than Liang Weng were not so lucky, and they were more or less squeezed by their neighbors. Now they really hope that Invite Yu can return to China as soon as possible, so as to save them from the sea of suffering.
He Lu was very worried about Liang Weng, "The teacher still needs to take care of his body." Regardless of the past, the situation in the country has stabilized. The people of Xianji and Qiu Chi still need your support. β
Liang Weng said in a joking tone, "When people are old, they should be self-aware." You can't stand in the way of young people. Your envoy to the Northern Wei Dynasty this time can be regarded as meritorious, and you should go to ask for a reward from the right minister. β
Qin Zhongzhi knew that Liang Weng was reminding himself that He Lu should be promoted. But He Lu is already the county guard of Hanyang County, and if he wants to be promoted, he can only find a vacancy for him to be on duty in the palace.
But without waiting for Qin Zhongzhi to speak, He Lu had already spoken first, "Actually, I want to resign to the two prime ministers today." I plan to go home to take care of my father. β
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Liang Weng yelled at He Lu with hatred, and glanced at Qin Zhongzhi fiercely.
The reason why Liang Weng dared to resign was because his protΓ©gΓ© was still in office. These people are faintly looking at Liang Weng's horse. He Lu is one of them.
Liang Weng originally had great expectations for He Lu, but who knew that he would suddenly resign. Liang Weng deeply suspected that this was someone from Qin Zhongzhi's deliberate suppression of his own line.
Qin Zhongzhi was innocently hit by the arrow this time, he really didn't know about it! He Lu has already surrendered to the girl, and there is no need to suppress him.
He Lu said calmly, "The student knows that he has disappointed his teacher. It's just that the students accompanied the Wei army to the north this time. I've seen a lot of life and death. Often the people who are good during the day are gone at night. Students can't help but reflect on how short this life is, and if they don't spend their time on the things they love, wouldn't it be wasted? The student has already planned to inherit his father's blacksmith shop when he goes back this time. β
Qin Zhongzhi incredulously tentatively said, "So what you said about not wasting this life is...... Striking iron? β
He Lu nodded affirmatively, "Exactly. You don't know it. There are many techniques for striking iron, such as this furnace temperature, first of all......"
Qin Zhongzhi felt that He Lu's chatterbox was about to open again, and immediately stopped, "You wait, wait." A certain has no interest in striking iron. Let's discuss your resignation later. In order to wait for you, Liang Weng dragged his sick body and waited in the palace early. I must be tired at this time. Why don't you send Liang Weng home first. β
Liang Weng also felt that there were some things that he couldn't ask He Lu in front of Qin Zhongzhi, and he also agreed, "In this way, the old man will leave first." β
Qin Zhongzhi respectfully bowed, "Lord Zuo, please." β
He Lu also knew that Liang Weng must have a lot of things to ask him privately, so he also took his leave and sent Liang Weng home.
Tang Xi left the palace with them at first, and waited for Liang Weng to get into the carriage before saying, "Your Excellency will send Zuo Xiang back to the house, and the maid will go home first to tidy up." The official house has not been cleaned for half a year, and it must be a little dirty. β
He Lu nodded, "Well, you can go back first." I'll go back as soon as I send my mentor away. β
Tang Xi saluted Liang Weng and He Lu respectively, and went towards He Lu's official residence. didn't go far, Tangxi's figure disappeared into the street, and no one around him noticed anything wrong.
When Tangxi returned to the palace and the political hall, Qin Zhongzhi was looking through the palace to read the music. When he saw Tangxi coming in, he got up and asked, "You are Tangxi, right?" β
Tangxi knelt on one knee, "I've seen Lord Youxiang." β
Qin Zhongzhi smiled and helped Tangxi, "Sit down and talk." β
"Tangxi doesn't dare."
Qin Zhongzhi said with a smile, "You and I are both subordinates of Xianji, and we can be regarded as colleagues, there is no distinction between high and low, so why can't we sit still?" β
Tang Xi thought about it and sat down as he said.
Qin Zhongzhi also personally poured a cup of tea for Tangxi, "Let's talk about it, why did He Lu suddenly want to resign?" β
Tang Xi said succinctly, "Xian Ji hopes that Lord He can concentrate on developing weapons. In order to avoid people's eyes, he asked Lord He to resign and return home. also sent a servant to protect him. It's just that when Lord He developed the weapon, it cost a lot of money. Xian Ji was a little worried that the current treasury was not enough to support Lord He. β
Qin Zhongzhi waved his hand, very wealthy and rude, "It's just money, don't worry." A certain self-congregation with Xian Ji reported. After the new emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty ascended the throne, he promoted Xianji's uncle Xie Fangming according to the agreement. Xie Fangming had also already sent out a message to everyone in the clans, saying that he had built a mound for the ancestors of their branch on the Fuqi Ridge, so it was time to operate. Nowadays, there are several clans who are interested in building a mound on Fuqiling, and the remuneration is also very high. So you don't have to worry about money. β
Tang Xi nodded, "That's very good." β
Qin Zhongzhi said with a smile, "You cherish words like gold." Xian Ji put you next to He Lu, but she will suffer you. Qin Zhongzhi still had a little headache when he remembered He Lu talking non-stop at this time.
In fact, Qin Zhongzhi still had something to tell Tangxi. The Zhu family's division was cleverly packed into logs, so it took some time. It is estimated that in another month, it will be transported to Qiuchi. At that time, Qiu Chi will really not be short of money.
After seeing Qin Zhongzhi, Tangxi returned to He Lu's official residence and cleaned it carefully.
He Lu didn't come back until it was dark, and then he came back tired. Tang Xi poured him a cup of tea first. I went to the stove again and brought the rice porridge that had been warm.
He Lu sighed, leaned against the charcoal basin, and drank the rice porridge in small sips with satisfaction, "Even if Xian Ji doesn't let me resign, I'm a little tired of this officialdom." In the past, teachers rarely entertained their colleagues, but now they are ...... Alas......"
Tang Xi originally thought that He Lu would continue, but he didn't expect him to stop, bow his head and rummage around in his sleeve pocket. Finally, he took out a small wooden box and handed it to Tangxi.
Tang Xi didn't expect it, "Give it to the servant?" β
He Lu blushed and nodded.
When Tangxi opened the small wooden box, there was a thumb-shaped sleeve inside, and there was a wide sleeve on the sleeve, which seemed to be moving.
He Lu said, "I know, Xian Ji has wronged you by asking you to protect me. I don't have anything to give you...... I had to make one myself. Yes! Don't worry, I've already told Xian Ji about this matter, and she agrees. So you can use it with peace of mind. β
Tang Xi's eyes turned red, "Thank you." The maid liked it very much. β
With this, will she be able to draw a bow and shoot arrows again?
When He Lu saw Tangxi wiping away tears, he was a little panicked, "Don't cry." Don't always scream at your servants. Later, when you go back to your hometown with me, it will be very eye-catching to call me like that. He looked at the fake thumb again, "Try it quickly, if the size is not suitable, I'll help you change it." β
Hearing this, Tangxi gently wiped away his tears and smiled, "Okay." I'll give it a try. β
