Chapter 1216: The awning boat at the dock, one worship has passed away
Chapter 1216: The awning boat at the pier, a world gone by one worship
Lin'an City, West Pier!
A small awning boat was parked on the water. A slightly stooped old man wearing a black cloak was leaning on a soft chair on the bow. Opposite the small table, an old man wearing a purple official robe faced each other. And sit!
These two people were Zhang Jun, who was about to leave Lin'an, and Shi Hao, who came to see him off.
The two of them were sitting across from each other drinking, but they didn't say anything. The breeze was blowing slowly and the water was turbulent, but it seemed a bit desolate!
"Why!"
Shi Hao placed the wine glass heavily on the small table, "Why are you so stubborn? Although you resigned from the position, His Majesty also gave you a young division, a military governor of the Guanxin Army, and a sentencing to Fuzhou. Why shouldn't you?"
Zhang Jun resigned, and Zhao Shen agreed angrily. However, after Zhang Jun left, looking at Zhang Jun's tired figure, Zhao Shen finally softened his heart. He also understood Zhang Jun's attitude toward military matters. It's embarrassing, not to mention that this is an old minister who has been with him for more than ten years and has dedicated himself to him until now.
Therefore, Zhao Shen changed his mind. Although he still accepted Zhang Jun's resignation, he was given the position of young master and went to Fuzhou as an official.
However, after Zhang Jun thanked him, he resigned from his official position at Shangshu again!
"If others don't understand, how can you still be unclear?"
Zhang Jun said nonchalantly, "I have been working for the imperial court for decades, and I am already tired. This time, I am just using this excuse to support my old age! Moreover, the affairs in the military are nothing more than a pool of sewage. I can’t be cruel enough to intervene.”
"If you can retain your official position, you might be able to revive again soon!"
Shi Hao frowned, "Now, how many of those people in the court are available?
Your Majesty, can you not use me?"
"Furthermore, even if you really want to have some leisure time, can't Lin'an keep you?
It's getting cold soon, do you have to go back to your hometown?"
Zhang Jun is a native of Hanzhou in the north of Chengdu Prefecture. This time he returns to his hometown, but he has to take the same road as Shen Tang took office last time.
Therefore, this is also the reason why these two people are at the dock.
It is said that people are like tea, and this is clearly demonstrated in official circles. Zhang Jun is above the court, ranking as a minister, holding the Privy Council, and is a close minister of Zhao Shen. Which high-ranking official in the court is not close to him?
On weekdays, let alone what happened in Zhang Jun's house, even if there was nothing, other people would find excuses to come and walk around. But now, when he resigned, there was no one to see him off.
These people are smart and realistic. Zhang Jun resigned this time because he obviously hated Zhao Shen. Moreover, he returned home from afar. How many opportunities will he have to set foot in the court again?
“During the Northern Expedition, I made an agreement with Yifu that when I became an official, I would return to my hometown and open a teahouse, with me as the boss and Yifu as the shopkeeper.
Now, Yifu is also in Chengdu, so I can just go back and keep the appointment!"
"You..." Looking at this old friend, Shi Hao had mixed feelings, but he didn't know how to persuade him.
"Come, I'm here to toast you! After that, you will be the chancellor of the imperial court, and I will be a countryman. You are in Lin'an, and I am in Chengdu. I don't know if we will see each other again in this life! You and I have known each other for decades and have supported each other. We also fought, but now with this glass of wine, all grudges are gone!"
The two raised their glasses and drank it all in one gulp!
"I don't care about the others, and I don't care about them either. There is only one thing I need to ask of you!"
Zhang Jun put down his wine glass and spoke solemnly.
"Shen Tang?"
Shi Hao said in response.
The only person Zhang Jun could care about was Shen Tang, a young man.
"good!"
Zhang Jun nodded solemnly, "Although Shen Tang is growing up quickly, he is still young and still in his infancy! To be honest, I agree with him that he resigned this time!"
"In just a few years, he has grown from an ordinary commoner to an important minister in the court. Although he has enough achievements to support it, he is still vain. Resigning this time will not only consolidate himself, but also the position and importance of his family in His Majesty's heart. sex.
Otherwise, he will drink like duckweed in the court, unable to withstand the wind and rain."
"Originally, according to my idea, I tried to grit my teeth and live a few more years, and also protect him for a few more years.
But now it seems that I obviously can’t wait for him to come back.”
"He has no foundation above the court. You are the only person he can rely on, so when he comes back, you must do your best to protect him!"
“Our Song Dynasty can’t rely on us.
Before I close my eyes, whether I can take a look at the prosperity of Bianzhou back then can only rely on a genius like Shen Tang.
Therefore, I can resign, but nothing can happen to him."
Shi Hao pondered for a moment, and then nodded solemnly.
Two old comrades-in-arms have persisted for more than ten years for the broken Song Dynasty, and Shen Tang can obviously give them more hope! This is why they are willing to protect Shen Tang.
"Okay, I'm leaving now, please let me know if you have any questions!"
Zhang Jun waved his hand!
Shi Hao stood up and held his hands in plain hands, "Deyuan, take care along the way!"
"Take care of yourself!"
Shi Hao got off the boat, and the awning boat rowed gently and entered the wide water! On the bow of the boat, Zhang Jun looked at Lin'an City gradually going away, and his thoughts were filled with thoughts!
Here, I have my own struggles and my own traces. Now, I finally have to leave! Is it a pity?
Of course there is, are you nostalgic?
How could it not be?
It's a pity that as I grow old, this place no longer belongs to me.
"My dear, Zhang Jun, bid farewell to Your Majesty! I wish the Song Dynasty peace and prosperity!"
Zhang Jun adjusted his robes, leaned on the ship and bowed in the direction of Lin'an City! This bow may be a farewell forever!
"Your Majesty, Mr. Zhang has already left by boat!"
In the Qinzheng Hall, Zhao Shen sat quietly with his eyes closed!
Wang Quan walked into the palace carefully and spoke to Zhao Shen softly.
"Master Zhang brought with him a few guards and servants, as well as some odds and ends! Master Zhang sent back all the mansions and sacred objects that His Majesty had given him earlier! Some of the family envoys who were inconvenient to bring with him were all exchanged for silver coins, but they were given as gifts. After arriving at Imperial College..."
After Wang Quan finished speaking, Zhao Shen nodded slowly, "I...got it, go down and sit alone for a while!"
After Wang Quan left, Zhao Shen slowly opened his eyes. He looked at the seat next to him. In the past, Zhang Jun often sat here to confront him, but now, the old minister has gone away! Facing a After serving for him for more than ten years and making great contributions to the Song Dynasty, Zhao Shen returned home desolately. How could Zhao Shen calm down?
He had a glass of wine alone, then stood up and looked towards the west...
"My dear, take care of yourself all the way! I... am ashamed of you!"
After that, drink all the wine! From now on, there will be one less person to help you!
