Chapter 669 Goodbye Dai Zhou
Red beans have the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, strengthening the spleen and stomach. Eating red beans in autumn is indeed a very good food tonic.

After finishing the red bean porridge, Li Zheng returned to his study to continue reading.

Li Lizhi returned to the kitchen, there was a bowl of red bean porridge left, and she filled a bowl and took a sip.

The taste was a bit bitter, Li Lizhi looked at the color of the red beans with a bitter face, it seemed that some of them were burnt.

Fortunately, Li Zheng finished the whole bowl.

Putting down the bowl a little aggrieved, Li Lizhi came to the yard and looked at the scenery of the village outside the door in a daze.

Li Ji received an order for the weapons business, and asked Xu Jingzong in surprise, "It's been a year, and this business has finally opened again."

Xu Jingzong nodded, "I did encounter some troubles before, but fortunately it has started again."

Li Ji looked at the quantity of these weapons on the order, "I don't want many, this deal is only [-] guan, which is much less than before."

Xu Jingzong also said with emotion: "It is inevitable that the business has been silent for such a long time now that the government is investigating closely."

Li Ji also said: "It's all those ignorant guys in the court. If they hadn't stopped them, this business wouldn't have come to this point."

Xu Jingzong sighed and said: "The next thing will be troublesome to the general."

Li Ji accepted the order and said, "Let's arrange it now."

The order was quickly sent to the palace by Li Ji, and delivered to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin looked at the order and frowned and said, "Why is there only a business of [-] yuan?"

Li Ji bowed and said, "This business has just resumed recently, and we can't go back to the previous time all of a sudden."

There was some inexplicable gap in his heart, Li Shimin thought for a while, then looked at Wang Ding at the side, "You and Li Ji can make arrangements."

"Here."

Wang Ding and Li Ji walked out of Ganlu Hall.

Li Ji said: "The old man is going to arrange the generals at various gates."

Wang Ding also said: "The old slave is going to rectify the ordnance."

Two days later, these ordnance were sent outside the customs under the disguise of a caravan.

After completing the tasks ordered by His Majesty, and arranging the affairs in the palace.

Before Wang Ding went to Jingyang, he had to meet another person.

Since Dai Zhou left Dali Temple, he has been living in the outskirts of Chang'an City.

There is a house on the outskirts of Chang'an City.

The house is not very big, and it looks a little old.

Wang Ding knocked on the door with some medicinal materials.

It was a little boy who opened the door, and when he saw that it was Wang Ding, he quickly saluted.

Wang Ding smiled and said, "Is Mr. Dai Zhou here?"

The little boy said quickly: "The old gentleman is in the study, please come here."

Wang Ding stepped into the courtyard.

The boy led him all the way to a corner hut in the house.

The location is good, the sun can shine directly into the window.

The little boy went in first to report, and then came out and said, "The old man is here to invite you."

Walking into the study, Wang Ding looked around here, and then looked at Dai Zhou who was sitting in front of the table.

"How did you come?"

Dai Zhou asked first.

Wang Ding put the medicinal materials aside and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty asked this old slave to visit the old man. How is the old man?"

Dai Zhou put down the pen in his hand, and blew on the paper on which he had just written, so that the good ink could condense better.

Wang Ding also looked at the words written on the paper and said: "The old man's handwriting is getting better and better."

Dai Zhou sighed and said, "It's not how good the old man's handwriting is, it's the paper made by Li Zheng's Jingyang."

Knowing that there is something in Dai Zhou's words, when Dali Temple investigated the weapon case, Dai Zhou investigated for a long time, and he knew a lot of clues.

Wang Ding sat down and said, "If there are no writers, what use is the paper?"

Dai Zhou glanced at Wang Ding strangely, "The old man is already in his seventies, and now he has no energy to help His Majesty handle the government affairs."

Wang Ding said in a low voice: "Everyone has such a day. Don't blame the old man too much. His Majesty still misses the old man very much."

Dai Zhou poured another cup of tea for Wang Ding, "Wang Gonggong, try it?"

Wang Ding picked up the teacup and took a sip, "The tea from Jingyang really tastes very good."

Dai Zhou said with a smile: "I don't know when it started. All the goods in Jingyang have the seal of Jingyang. It is said that it was the inscription written by His Majesty to Li Zheng."

Wang Ding nodded, "That's true. There are many people reselling Jingyang's goods outside. In order to control this situation and prevent people from shoddy goods, this is also Princess Changle's request to His Majesty."

Dai Zhou smiled wryly: "Although the old man doesn't like Li Zheng, his things are indeed very good things, his soap, his paper, his printing technique and tea leaves, before I know it, I can't do without these things gone."

Wang Ding took another sip of tea.

Dai Zhou continued: "Li Zheng is indeed a capable person. When I left Dali Temple, I thought about many things. Sometimes right and wrong are not so important, but needs are the most important. Although Li Zheng is not in the court Officer, but His Majesty needs Li Zheng to do things, is this old man right?"

Wang Ding smiled and said, "I made the old man laugh."

Dai Zhou caressed his beard and said: "It's okay, after leaving Dali Temple, the old man also understood."

Looking at the smile on Dai Zhou's face, Wang Ding said: "If there is anything the old man needs the old slave to do, just say it."

Dai Zhou shook his head, "No need, the old man's children have already gone to their hometown, and they will not ask about the affairs of the court anymore. As for the Dali Temple and the weapon case, the old man will not say a word, half body It's buried in the ground, and the children have already married, so I don't have so many worries."

Hearing this, Wang Ding stood up and bowed to Dai Zhou.

Dai Zhou said: "The old man knows that you have a lot of things to do, if one day Li Tang Jiangshan is even more magnificent, the old man will not be in vain in this life."

Wang Ding said: "The old man should also pay attention to his body."

"You go, the old man won't send it off."

Dai Zhou coughed twice and picked up the pen again.

Wang Ding walked out of this study, and looked at the little boy beside him, who looked very unhappy.

Taking out a piece of silver cake, Wang Ding handed it to him and said, "Son, take good care of the old man."

Xiaotong took Wang Ding to the outside of the house, and said with some sobs: "The doctor has come to see it."

"doctor?"

"Hmm." The little boy glanced at the house and whispered, "The doctor said that the old man has not much time left, he is too old, he has worked for many years, and now he is falling ill like a mountain."

Wang Ding knelt down and said: "This old slave knows many great doctors. Don't be too sad if you come back to treat the old man."

"Go slowly." The little boy wiped away his tears, then ran back to the courtyard and closed the door.

Looking at the closed door, Wang Ding felt indebted to Dai Zhou.

Perhaps Dai Zhou already knew the truth, even if time is running out, he is still willing to keep the secret for His Majesty.
