Following.

It happened to be September 27 in the 18th year of Wanli.

The sun hangs high in the autumn sky, and the light penetrates the red leaves, dotting the withered yellow leaves with gold beads.

Hai Rui lay on the couch by the window, bathed in the sun, and soon reached out to pick up a yellow leaf that fell on his body, and then squinted at Gao Yang at the lines on it, as if he saw the way back to Qiongzhou, and couldn't help but say to Haiyou: "Go and ask you Brother Zhongshi, how long do we have to go." ”

"He said he would leave after noon in the afternoon, when it would be warmer."

In addition, he said that although his father had long prevented hundreds of officials from sending them, he still had to leave time for hundreds of officials to send posts.

Haiyou replied.

Hai Rui did not answer after hearing this, only closed his eyes and rested.

Haiyou picked up a bowl of porridge at this time: "Father, eat something." ”

"Don't eat it!"

Hai Rui replied.

Haiyou picked up the osmanthus cake again: "The osmanthus cake given by the queen." ”

After hearing this, Hai Rui let out a long breath: "You have to eat!" Otherwise, there is disrespect. ”

Hai Rui opened his eyes as he spoke, stretched out his hand, took the osmanthus cake, and even if he really had no appetite, he took it to his mouth and forcibly bit it.

Food is the foundation of self-cultivation.

After Hai Rui forcibly ate something, his body gained some strength, and when he left the official residence, he took the initiative to ask to get off the sedan chair and take a look at the place where he had worked.

Hai Rui leaned on the python cane given by the Imperial Gift, watching as he walked.

Blown by the wind, his gray hair stood still for a while, turning to look at the majestic Forbidden City.

The Forbidden City under the blue sky is spectacular, looking down on all beings.

Suddenly.

Hai Jui threw his hand towards the Forbidden City.

After a difficult struggle, Hai Rui muttered: "Your Majesty, the minister is back!" ”

After speaking, Hai Rui took the initiative to go back to the sedan chair, and then instructed Hai You in the sedan chair: "Grinding ink, I want to write!" ”

Haiyou hurriedly asked, "What does my father want to write?" ”

Hai Rui said: "Write about Your Majesty's great achievements, and write about how much Your Majesty in my heart Hai Rui blesses all the people!" ”

"Everyone in the world knows that I, Hai Gangfeng, dare to scold the emperor, but I don't know that I, Hai Rui, also dare to praise the emperor!"

"Besides, when the Son is the closest to the ideal father in my heart today, how can I not praise him?"

"It's just that I'm afraid that in the future, because of the chaos of people's hearts, the world will still fall, so future generations will still have a lot of slanderous words against him, and I, Hai Rui, have been fortunate to have a great reputation, so the emperor that I Hai Rui praised, future generations can't, and I still have to believe those people with ulterior motives who ruined my pilgrim's remarks, right?"

Hai Rui said: "While I can still move, I can write more, and you will take out all my savings to find a famous publisher to print at that time!" ”

"Don't feel sorry for the money, if it weren't for the fact that Your Majesty couldn't bear to be a minister like your father because of his honesty and couldn't get rich, and few people in the world were willing to follow your father's example to be an official, your current life would not be so good, it can be said that your father's savings were originally Your Majesty's, and now they should be used to repay the emperor's kindness."

"Yes! Son remembered! ”

Soon after Hai Rui said this, the sedan chair was slowly carried south.

So far.

The prince of the Ming Dynasty and the scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion University, Hai Rui, resigned and left the Beijing Division.

Zhu Yijun still sent eunuchs and medical officers as well as brocade guards to escort them.

And it's worth mentioning.

Zhou Yong and Yin Zhengmao, who fainted on the ground after hearing about the military victory of the Ming Dynasty against Luzon, soon woke up in the official residence.

The first to wake up was Yin Zhengmao.

As soon as Yin Zhengmao woke up, he saw that he was already at his own house, and he thought of winning a great victory in Luzon, and said very depressed again: "This is a miserable loss!" ”

But as soon as Yin Zhengmao said this, he couldn't help but feel nervous for a while because he saw that there was an additional subordinate official beside him: "Who are you and why are you here?" ”

This subordinate official hurriedly bowed his hand and said: "The subordinate is Xue Limu, the medical officer of the Great Sima, and he will be specially responsible for the health of the Great Sima in the future. ”

"Medic?"

"When did Your Majesty set up this system?"

Yin Zhengmao muttered a few words to himself, and then suddenly choked up:

"The emperor's grace is magnificent, the emperor's grace is magnificent!"

Then, Yin Zhengmao said: "I just said that this loss is miserable, that is, to say that the old party has lost miserably since then, and now it seems that His Majesty treats me and other ministers so kindly, and the old party will only lose even worse in the future!" ”

Yin Zhengmao said and asked Xue Limu confirmatively: "Doctor Xue, you said yes, right?" ”

"Da Sima said yes, that is!"

Xue Limu replied at this time.

Yin Zhengmao smiled.

And Zhou Yong also woke up, hugging his head and crying on the spot:

"My coupon!"

Then, Zhou Yong also knew that the emperor had assigned him a medical officer, and after feeling grateful for the emperor's grace for a while, Zhou Yong immediately said with a strong smile: "Now, my subscription coupon will rise sharply!" ”

"Since it will rise sharply, why is the prince crying?"

At this time, Zhou Yong's medical officer couldn't help but ask more.

Zhou Yong said: "Naturally, I cried with joy, cried with joy!" ”

However, Zhou Yong and Yin Zhengmao actually did not stick to their positions, and after seeing the subscription coupons continue to plummet, they also let their family secretly sell the subscription coupons, so they couldn't accept such a result for a while.

You must know that Yin Zhengmao has already persuaded the emperor to prepare for the first defeat, and then hurriedly prepare for the second battle of Luzon, and in order to make a big profit after the first defeat and sell-off caused the subscription coupons to fall sharply, he can make a lot of money in advance, and then after the victory in the second battle of Luzon, he made a lot of money.

But now the result was a great victory in the first conquest of Luzon.

Yin Zhengmao secretly hated the strength of the old party in his heart, and it seemed that it could not have much impact on the outcome of the war, and he also knew that although he refused to admit that he was involved in the sale of subscription coupons before fainting in front of the emperor, the emperor would definitely guess it, so he felt shameless and stood in the court again, so he wrote his resignation and submitted it the next day.

Zhou Yong, like Yin Zhengmao, wrote his resignation the next day and submitted it.

Zhu Yijun had already learned about their situation after they woke up from the factory guards and medical officers, and knew that they were ashamed of themselves, so he also approved their resignation.

And Zhou Yong and Yin Zhengmao also moved out of the official residence on the same day as Hai Rui and left Beijing.

The two also saw the scene of Hai Rui stopping to look north at the Forbidden City.

For a while, Yin Zhengmao couldn't help but say to Zhou Yong with a guilty face:

"Haigang Peak is worthy of Your Majesty, we are sorry!"

Zhou Yong nodded, couldn't help but feel sad, and then returned to the sedan chair.

Yin Zhengmao also followed and walked back.

"Sir!"

"What's wrong with you, sir?"

Suddenly, a shout came from Zhou Yong's sedan chair.

Yin Zhengmao hurriedly got out of the sedan chair and asked, "What's wrong with Zhou Shumi?" ”

At this time, the slave of the Zhou family replied: "Our master committed suicide by taking poison!" ”
