"I'm old, and I used to think that others were stubborn, but I didn't expect to become an abominable person. ”

"Is this a reminder from the prince's dream, or am I thinking about it day and night?"

"Whether it is the prince's dream or not, Su Ziji acts according to the words of ghosts and gods, this is not good, not to say the door, it is the introduction of Sanskritism, who does not have a small spirit and a small benefit, but it is not the avenue of life and livelihood, and the saint abandons it, I have to carefully fold it up. ”

Qi Hongxin wandered alone under the lonely candle, muttering, who is he Qi Hongxin, the prince was stunned by the dream, and immediately resumed his judgment.

"The credit of Su Ziji, I am not greedy at all, don't be old enough, but let myself look down on it. ”

After polishing, the draft was scrapped and rewritten three times before it was satisfied.

At the end of the play, I listened to the rooster crowing three times, but still had no sleep, and wrote: The ministers have served for 20 years, and there is nothing to repay to the monarch's father, and there is nothing to benefit the people.

Begging for bones is a euphemism for officials of this era to ask for resignation, which means that the bones are to be buried in their hometown and return to their hometown to live out their old age in peace.

Repeat it several times, and when you put down the last stroke, and when you look up again, the window paper has been illuminated by the morning light.

With the sound of gently pushing the door, Qi Zhou's came in from outside, holding a tray in his hand, on which there was a stack of freshly made hot cakes, a bowl of sticky hot porridge, and a small plate of refreshing pickles, all of which were made by Qi Zhou's own hands.

Qi Hongxin hurriedly put the folds on the table into the box, this is waiting to go back and seal it, so he sent someone to the capital, and other pen, ink, paper and inkstones were also temporarily put aside, and he got up to take the food that was sent to him.

"Eat, see you get up in the morning, I'm afraid you'll be hungry for a long time. Qi Zhou said.

Qi Hongxin looked at his wife apologetically, he was old, and his wife was also old.

Once the fold is handed over, there is a great possibility that His Majesty will directly approve him to return to his hometown and will not keep it.

Although he was still thinking just now, maybe he was afraid that he would regret doing this in the future, but seeing his wife follow him without regrets, wandering around, and wasting half his life, he felt that he was right to do this.

has betrayed the trust of the prince, and spent half his life to repay, and there are still days left, it is time to go back to his hometown and live a leisurely life with his old wife for a few days.

As for other things in the court, national affairs, without themselves, there will be rising stars to do.

"Hey, as for the construction of water conservancy, you can give it to Su Ziji. ”

"But the drawbacks have to be pointed out, I, Qi Hongxin, have offended people in my new life, and I am afraid that there will be one more Su Zi. ”

Thuan An Mansion Residence

In the mansion not very far from the mansion, at this moment, Su Ziji also put down his pen, gently moved his wrist, and his eyes fell on the water conservancy document he had written all night.

The number of laborers and the number of locusts removed had been collected and summarized by Cen Rubai during the day, and the number was written into the document, which clearly pointed out the fact that water conservancy construction would not consume too much manpower, material and financial resources.

A number of short-term visible benefits were also mentioned.

Irrigation is also part of the water conservancy project, and now it is a drought, and repairing the water conservancy can not only prevent floods, but also irrigate the fertile land.

"Although the irrigation of fertile land can only radiate a quarter of Thuan An Province due to the places marked on the water map, not all of them, but the benefits are far greater than the cost at this time. ”

Qi Hongxin is not willing to work hard because of what may happen in the future, so he will write about the things that may benefit him in the short term in the near future, and increase the bargaining chips for this water conservancy matter. ”

After reading it again, and seeing that it was already bright outside, Su Ziji put away the paperwork, washed, had breakfast, and rushed to the government with this document.

Every morning, Qi Hongxin arrived very early, and today is no exception, Su Ziji got down from the ox cart, asked Zeng Nianzhen to park, and walked into the still somewhat deserted yamen alone.

When I was talking to a scribe for a few words, I felt that I was being stared at, and when I looked up, I saw Qi Hongxin Qi, who was dressed in official uniforms and dignified, standing not far away.

The scribe was suddenly startled, and hurriedly saluted: "Lord Prefect!"

"You go ahead and get busy with yours first. Qi Hongxin's eyes fell on this scribe and said lightly.

As if he had been granted amnesty, the scribe hurried away.

Su Ziji was also looking for Qi Hongxin to continue to persuade the construction of water conservancy, so he saluted Qi Hongxin in the past, took out the prepared paperwork, and handed it to: "My lord, this is a water conservancy document written by Xia Guan last night, involving irrigation of farmland, please take a look." ”

I thought that it would take a lot of effort to persuade the other party to take a look, after all, I was obviously very repulsed by this matter yesterday, but I didn't expect that Qi Hongxin was silent for a while, and he took this document directly.

Unfolded it in front of Su Ziji, looking at his expression, he was quite serious.

It's just that I can't see what the idea is, his expression is light, and Su Ziji secretly thought: "It seems that we need to add more fire to convince Qi Hongxin." ”

But at this time, I heard Qi Hongxin say: "This matter, the government agreed." ”

Su Ziji looked over in surprise, but what he saw was a pair of tired eyes.

"Master Su, since you have contributed so much to this project, and you will hand it over to others, the government will not worry, so I will leave it to you. ”

This is simply an unexpected joy, Su Ziji really didn't expect that he was still strong and difficult to persuade, but suddenly changed his mind, and he immediately responded: "The lower officials must handle this matter!"

Qi Hongxin didn't speak, just walked casually, and the nearby officials all dispersed, and at this time there were only two people around, the sun was shining, and the flowers and trees in the courtyard were shining, and the thick green seemed to flow down.

"My lord, what other discipline do you have?" Su Ziji said as he looked at Qi Hongxin, who was stunned.

Qi Hongxin didn't speak, his face was expressionless, he casually browsed the courtyard, and said for a long time: "Master Su, there are some things that you may still not like to hear, but I still have to say them." ”

"You have a great future, and you still have a long way to go, so you must stabilize your heart, don't give the ghosts and gods a way, so it will cut your life. ”

"This time, the government promised you because I looked carefully, and there is indeed a need to repair it. ”

"But you are obsessed with the gods, I have already folded it to the court!" Qi Hongxin gritted his teeth and stared at Su Ziji: "Do you think that this official will take revenge?"

"If you have anything to say, it's just the two of us here, you might as well say it directly. ”

“...... No wonder this official's path is getting narrower and narrower. Su Ziji thought secretly, and felt that instead of going around in circles, it was better to say directly: "If it's someone else, it's indeed a little, if it's an adult, I don't think so." ”

"Oh?" Qi Hongxin suddenly turned his face, his eyes were suspicious, and Su Ziji also stared at Qi Hongxin, and said: "My lord's excerpts over the years, in fact, I have seen some of them, and many of them are indeed offended. ”

"It's just that according to the temperament, it's all about the fairness of people and the solitary loyalty of the ministers. ”

"I'm uncomfortable, but I'm impressed. ”

"What you said is clear and happy!" Qi Hongxin nodded and smiled, and said: "Whether you hate me or admire me, I only act according to my temperament - you have a great future, which is not comparable to me, and you will do it yourself in the future!"

After speaking, he turned around and left, I don't know why, Su Ziji watched him go away, and he saw that he was desolate.
