The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 2112 Request to retire

The next day.

Zhao Dongting hosted a banquet for dozens of people including Wen Tianxiang, Chen Wenlong, Zhao Da and Zhenjin.

Of course, except for the real gold, those people in the Yuan Dynasty did not receive a banquet.Except for the real gold, they are all meritorious ministers in the Great Song Zhengyuan War.

This is a comfort banquet!
The banquet was very sumptuous, delicacies from mountains and seas, birds and beasts filled the whole table.This must cost a lot, but what Zhao Dongting has always believed in is not to save what should not be saved.

These heroes who sacrificed their lives for the Song Dynasty should not be treated badly.

At the banquet, except for Zhen Jin who was silent, the atmosphere of the rest of the people was quite lively.

These ministers of the Great Song Dynasty, including the retired Zhang Shijie, Zhang Jue, Sun Shichuan, Chen Jianghan, and the still in power Lu Xiufu, Wen Tianxiang, Wang Wenfu, Zhao Yuluo, Chen Wenlong, etc., and the young and strong Zhong Jian, Wen Qingshu, Zhu Hecong, Li Zhaoen and others have all worked hard for the Song Dynasty in these years.In recent years, most of the people in the imperial court can be said to be selfless, working hard for the same dream.Such a group of people, of course, have a good friendship in private.

After returning from the great victory, everyone was extremely happy, and they all opened their mouths to drink.If outsiders see it, it will be hard to imagine that these people are the composition of the Great Song Center.

They hooked their shoulders, sang battle songs, and laughed loudly.Some, laughing and laughing, shed tears again.

Raising his hand to wipe it away, he continued to laugh.

No one used internal energy to force the wine away.

It lasted no more than two quarters of an hour, and some people had already passed out, and those who had a good capacity for alcohol were also slightly tipsy.

Wen Tianxiang and Chen Wenlong suddenly came to Zhao Dongting with wine glasses.

Zhao Dongting looked at the flushed faces of the two, smiled, and picked up the wine glass, "This glass of wine is for me to respect the two of you."

In this era, Chen Wenlong and Wen Tianxiang are considered old, but they are still working hard for the Song Dynasty, carrying the leading role.This spirit is selfless and worthy of admiration.

After finishing speaking, Zhao Dongting raised his neck and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

Chen Wenlong and Wen Tianxiang looked at each other and smiled, and drank the wine in the cup.

Immediately Wen Tianxiang said: "Your Majesty, I have something to ask."

Zhao Dongting was slightly stunned, "Please tell me the military order."

He really couldn't think of anything else that Wen Tianxiang needed to use the word "begging".Based on his contribution to Song Dynasty and his current status, this word should not be used.

Wen Tianxiang smiled and said: "I have been leading the army in these years, and I am really tired. This old bone can't hold it anymore. Therefore, if I want to retire, I ask the emperor for permission."

Chen Wenlong also said next to him: "The same is true for the minister. Now the Song Dynasty is in full swing. We old bones can also hand over the power in our hands with peace of mind, and go home to enjoy the rest of our lives."

Zhao Dongting showed shock on his face, and said immediately: "The deputy state minister will be able to retire to the second line in a few months, and the military plane orders you to retire to the second line in only four years. Why do you want to sue now?"

The voices of the three people were not loud, and they were all suppressed in the noisy atmosphere.

Wen Tianxiang said with a chuckle: "Nowadays, there are a large number of talented people in the Song Dynasty. I think that if there are no old guys like us who are self-confident, maybe the Song Dynasty can develop faster."

He paused, and then said: "Of course the most important thing is that I feel tired."

He said this very sincerely, without any pretentiousness.

He is indeed the person who paid the most for the Song Dynasty in the Song Dynasty, and it can even be said that there is almost no one.

At the beginning, there was a big family of writers, but now there are only writers left.Those friends and fellow countrymen who followed Wen Tianxiang to the north and south, after all these years, there are not many left.

Zhao Dongting has always known that Wen Tianxiang bears a great responsibility in his heart, and at the same time he also bears a great guilt.

In the past, the great enemy of the Song Dynasty and the Yuan Dynasty was still alive, and he was always able to support the righteousness without showing any weakness.But now, the guilt in his heart probably has the upper hand.

Sighing slightly, Zhao Dongting said, "How about allowing me to discuss this matter with the two lovers later?"

Both Wen Tianxiang and Chen Wenlong could hear Zhao Dongting's intention to let go, and of course they wouldn't force Zhao Dongting for this matter, so they nodded and retreated.

Zhao Dongting watched the two merge into the group of older veterans, and pursed his lips.

The Yuan Dynasty was destroyed.

There are no major enemies around the Great Song Dynasty.

Perhaps, there are not a few veterans in the court who have ideas like Wen Tianxiang and Chen Wenlong, right?
They are all righteous people, and they don't take personal honor or disgrace to heart.What they care about is whether Da Song still needs them, and what else they can do for Da Song.

Just now, Wen Tianxiang said that without old guys like them, Da Song might be able to develop faster.This sentence made Zhao Dongting's heart suddenly touched.

What Wen Tianxiang said was not polite words, but that he really felt old.

Perhaps this is the mentality of the hero's twilight?
Zhao Dongting was unwilling to reject them from the bottom of his heart.

These people have paid enough for the Great Song Dynasty. From a personal point of view, Zhao Dongting himself feels that they should take care of themselves and enjoy life now.

They are all nearly 60 years old. Even if they live a long life, how many years can they enjoy in their lives?
