Chapter 96: Zhao Shanfeng returns to his hometown
At dinner, Zhao Shanfeng asked people to prepare a few tables of wine and food, called all the people from Shangshu Mansion, and everyone had a casual meal together. With the Dream ()
Zhao Shanfeng picked up the wine glass, looked at everyone and said: "Everyone knows that I am going back to my hometown to retire soon, this is the glory of my life; After I resigned and went home, I was an old man, and I didn't need anyone to serve me, so what about this meal, it was a casual meal, and after eating, everyone could pack up their things, and if they wanted to leave, they could leave, and I had prepared some entanglements for everyone, which should be used as severance pay for everyone. ”
"Your Excellency..." Hearing Zhao Shanfeng's words, everyone's hearts were full of reluctance, and some people even cried softly.
"You don't want to be like this, I can go home safely to retire, this is a good thing, don't you want to see me die here? I know that none of you want to, so you all put away your tears and let go of eating and drinking today. Zhao Shanfeng looked at everyone and said, and then said loudly: "I, Zhao Shanfeng, toast everyone!" ”
Hearing Zhao Shanfeng's words, everyone stood up with their wine glasses and followed Zhao Shanfeng to drink their own wine.
"Don't be restrained, let's eat." Zhao Shanfeng said with a smile.
Everyone sat down and slowly moved their chopsticks, but the atmosphere was very depressing.
"I tell you, there are two days left, if you want to go to some mansion on an errand, just tell me, and I will write you a letter of recommendation." Zhao Shanfeng said with a smile.
In fact, everyone knows that some people have already found a home in the past few days, but this is understandable, now that Zhao Shanfeng has retired, he can't support these people, and it is normal for everyone to find a way out for themselves, and many people are pointing to these shares of money to support their families.
"I know that some of you have found the next home, I am happy for you, if you don't find the next home, you can come to me, I will help you find it, and now I can only help you do these things." Zhao Shanfeng said with a smile.
A strong man stood up and said loudly: "My lord, I Li Da is a reckless man, I don't know anything, I am carrying a sedan chair for adults, and I want to carry a sedan chair for adults in the future." ”
Hearing this, Zhao Shanfeng smiled and said: "Sit down, I won't sit in a sedan chair in the future, and I don't need you to carry a sedan chair for me, if you don't dislike it, I still have some land at home, you can go back to farming with me, and I will also give you twenty acres of land." ”
"Thank you, sir!" The strong man said happily when he heard it.
In fact, many people don't know what to do, and when they heard Zhao Shanfeng's words, many people stood up and wanted to follow Zhao Shanfeng back to farm, and Zhao Shanfeng agreed.
"Okay, let's all hurry up and eat, let's talk about something tomorrow." Zhao Shanfeng said with a smile.
After eating, Zhao Shanfeng called Lin Tianyang and a few people to him again, and said: "The four of you will leave tonight, I have already written your resignation, and I will go to Ning Wangfu early tomorrow morning, if any of you change your mind, it is still too late." ”
Hearing Zhao Shanfeng's words, the four of them knelt down on one knee to Zhao Hanfeng, saluted, and then turned around and left.
Looking at the backs of the four people, Zhao Shanfeng's eyes were filled with tears, but he showed a relieved smile.
After Lin Tianyang and the four of them left the study, Zhao Shanfeng called the other guards in.
Lin Tianyang and the others returned to their respective residences, cleaned up briefly, and then gathered together in the courtyard again, the four of them didn't say anything, and walked towards the gate together.
Walking out into the street, the four of them said together, "Take care!" Then he left in a different direction.
After Lin Tianyang walked out of the two streets, he climbed on the roof of a house next to him with a vertical leap, and then returned to the vicinity of Shangshu Mansion in a few vertical leaps, standing next to the mansion.
Suddenly, Lin Tianyang also saw several figures in other directions, and then he smiled, and several figures moved closer together.
"Why did you all come back?" The master looked at the three people and asked with a smile.
"I'm thinking about waiting for the adults to leave the capital before leaving." Lin Tianyang said with a smile.
"Me too." Commander Qian and Liu Liqin said with a smile.
"Then let's find a place and watch the adults while drinking until the adults leave." Master said with a smile.
"That's exactly what I mean." Lin Tianyang and the three of them said with a smile.
Early the next morning, Zhao Shanfeng rushed to King Ning's Mansion with four resignation letters.
King Ning glanced at the four resignation letters, and the content was the same as what Lin Tianyang and they said before, each person has their own reasons.
"Hey, it's a pity, they're all talents." King Ning sighed and said.
"Yes, these people are all from the rivers and lakes, but they are righteous and courageous, and it is a pity not to serve the country, but fortunately, there is a Qian commander, and he has returned to the frontier, which can be regarded as the fulfillment of his dream." Zhao Shanfeng also said with a regretful face.
"People have their own ambitions, this is also a matter of no choice, since they are gone, they have no chance with this king, and there is nothing to say, trouble Lord Zhao." King Ning said with a smile.
Zhao Shanfeng waved his hand again and again and said, "Don't say that anymore, Lord Wang, I'm no longer an adult, I'm just an ordinary little old man." ”
King Ning smiled when he heard this, and said: "Lord Zhao, you are a smart person, not only do you do your best for the imperial court, but even the people you have cultivated are also talents; That Wang Dakuan originally wanted him to be the secretary of the Ministry of Works, but he said that he would go all over the country's rivers, mountains and rivers, tidy up the rivers, in the hope that there would be no more floods in the future, and the characters to cover up should not be said to others, even the king also liked it very much, and the emperor gave him three years to let him do this, and specially reserved the position of the Ministry of Industry for him. ”
"Wang Dakuan is indeed a talent, he is young and energetic, and he is the best candidate for the Ministry of Industry." Zhao Shanfeng said with a smile.
After the two of them said a few more words, Zhao Shanfeng got up and said goodbye.
Watching Zhao Shanfeng's figure walk out of the door, King Ning looked at the four resignation letters in his hand again, and said with a smile: "This old fox... ”
Two days later, Zhao Shanfeng, who had completed the handover, left Shangshu Mansion with more than a dozen servants and slowly walked out of the city.
Many people came to see them off, and there were many officials, Lin Tianyang and the four of them stood in the crowd of people seeing them off, watching Zhao Shanfeng and others leave the capital.
"It's really an honor for adults to be able to return to their hometown like this." The master said.
"It's time for us to disperse, and we'll meet later!" Liu Liqin said, and then rushed to Zhao Shanfeng's team.
"There will be a date later!" Commander Qian said to the two of them with his fists clenched, and then strode towards the city gate with a burden.
"I'm gone, take care!" Master said, and then quickly disappeared into the crowd.
"Take care!" Lin Tianyang said silently.
Lin Tianyang walked slowly along the street, and unconsciously returned to the door of Shangshu Mansion, and when he saw the closed door, he reacted, now this place is empty, and he can't go in, at this moment, Lin Tianyang suddenly had a very lonely feeling, feeling that he had no direction, and even his head was empty.
After a long time, Lin Tianyang walked into an inn next to him, asked for a room, ordered a few dishes, asked for a few jars of wine, and drank it in the room by himself.
Lin Tianyang couldn't describe his current mood, he only knew that he wanted to drink now, and after drinking two jars of wine in a row, he was completely drunk and fell to the ground.
Three days later, Lin Tianyang opened the door, asked the shopkeeper to bring bath water, washed up well, ate another meal, and then went out.
Although he has been drunk for the past three days, Lin Tianyang has been thinking about his own affairs, and now he can't contact those high-ranking officials, but he still has some clues, and his purpose is to help the master find Shiniang, this is his goal, and those who assassinated Lord Zhao and the people behind Du Chengli are all good breakthroughs, and now his goal is to find them.
"Hey, isn't this Brother Lin?" Suddenly, a surprised voice came, and a person blocked Lin Tianyang's way.
"It's you ???" Lin Tianyang looked at a very delicate face in front of him and said in surprise.
Isn't this the Purple Jade Princess!
"Of course it's me, I heard that Lord Zhao left, so I wanted to come to you, but I pounced, and no one knew where you went, so I thought about coming out and going around, maybe I could run into you, and I really ran into you." Princess Ziyu said with a smile.
Seeing Princess Ziyu, Lin Tianyang was also very surprised, he didn't expect that she was actually looking for herself, and subconsciously wanted to hide; But after thinking about it, Ziyu is a princess, if you use her, maybe you will save a lot of effort, although it is not heroic to do so, but now you can only rush to do it.
"No, princess, Lord Zhao left, and I had no place to go, so I stayed in the inn for three days, and the cost was quite expensive, so I came out." Lin Tianyang said.
When Princess Ziyu heard this, she said loudly: "It's useless for you to talk to me, you are still short of money?" I tell you, I have investigated everything about you, and you will be my guard in the future, and I will cover you and ensure that you have food and drink. ”
"There are so many of your guards, and you still need me? I don't want to be a guard for you, I still have my own things to do, and I have to make contributions to my work. Lin Tianyang pouted and said.
Hearing this, Princess Ziyu was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "You are the first person to reject me, but this is also what I value, they follow me to take shortcuts, and I know their careful thoughts; What you said also makes sense, your ability is not bad, you can't be buried in me, I want to think about it, find a good place for you. ”
