The world is heavy and late

Chapter 278 Resignation
There used to be Anping waiting for Xu Zhong at the door at night, but since Xia Qing came out, there was no more. Xia Qing liked to sit on the bluestone steps in front of the door and watch the stars while waiting for Xu Zhong to come back.

Anping didn't wink anymore, and knew that sometimes it didn't matter whether he showed up or not, because he was not seen by anyone else.

Xu Zhong walked to the door step by step, and sat on the bluestone steps like Xia Qing, looking at the starry sky, he didn't think it was a good view in the past, but now he thinks it is really good.

Xu Zhong took the lead and said: "Today I will express my resignation to His Majesty, but His Majesty has not yet approved it."

Xia Qing's eyes finally moved from the vast starry sky to Xu Zhong. Xu Zhong's tone was very flat, as if he had no emotions at all, and seemed to have endless emotions: "I guess you also discussed with the empress when you entered the palace today." Is it about going out of Beijing?"

Xia Qing smiled, her round eyes had turned into half-curved crescents, the moonlight inside was like water, gentle, bright and quiet.

"How do you know that you have to leave Beijing? Aren't there several well-known people in the capital? Besides, don't you really feel sorry for your father-in-law's resignation?"

Talk as soon as you talk, but Xia Qing, a clingy man, kept getting closer and closer as he talked, until finally he leaned on Xu Zhong's shoulder completely, and said brazenly: "Elder-in-law is too thin, he's licking me."

Xu Zhong pushed Xia Qing's head away with his hand and said, "Just stay away from me."

Xia Qing's pestering skills, if Xu Zhong really had a way, he wouldn't be held back until now, and he really likes this, sincerely and warmly going forward.

In the past, he always felt that he would never have such strong emotions again. He thought so when he got married and when he took off the maple leaf, but now he knows, there are still.

Many, many, every time Xia Qing was by his side, every day when she opened her eyes, she was right in front of her, and every time she went home, she was waiting for him.

Xu Zhong thought, how could this be?How could he like Xia Qing so much, more and more every day.

Xia Qing put his head on Xu Zhong's shoulder, and didn't care if he messed up his hair long ago, just bumped him down, Xu Zhong's eyes flashed a smile, he patted Xia Qing's head and said: "In the capital city None of them fit."

Xia Qing had thought about it a long time ago, if the famous teachers and great scholars in the capital are really suitable, will it be the princess' turn?I don't know how many times the prince has been invited.

What they want is a wise man who is mature and tolerant, and it is better that this wise man is also knowledgeable, not a genius madman who is emotionally crazy.

Xia Qing nodded indifferently and said, "Understood, what should we do? If we all go, you will really resign. Are you going to rely on me to support you?"

Xu Zhong was startled and wanted to say something, but Xia Qing said first, "What you gave me is mine, it's not yours anymore."

Xu Zhong: ...the logic of robbers.

After rubbing his forehead and feeling the night breeze around him, Xu Zhong stood up and said, "Your Majesty may not agree, madam."

The title Madam is really uncommon, Xia Qing jumped up happily and said: "Forget it, forget it, even if you are down and out, if you call Madam, I will give you ten taels."

Xu Zhong: ...This is really too rich.

Xu Zhong no longer paid attention to Xia Qing's problem of being able to act anytime, anywhere. He used to just love to be in a daze, thinking about inexplicable things, but now he is thinking about what is what.

Xu Zhong's resignation went very smoothly, because the emperor also got the news from Gu Weiyun. In fact, he said that he could issue an order to call people to Beijing, so there is no need to waste so much trouble.

Who knew that the always gentle queen turned black when she heard this and changed the subject. He really couldn't understand the thoughts of these women.

She said that she wanted to build an academy, although he thought carefully about the interests of all parties before agreeing to it, but he paid for it, okay?

Now she said she wanted to invite a dean, okay, he said he made an order, but Gu Weiyun was still not happy.

The disgraced Zhao Chengming turned around and left after losing his temper. The people in Weiyang Palace were trembling, but the queen said as if nothing had happened: "Let your majesty go, I think your majesty is very busy."

Chu Wen almost knelt down to this master in his heart, what are you talking about?You are a queen, at least you should be soft.

Zhao Chengming, who was walking out, was not in a good mood, and asked Xu Ji beside him as he walked, "What do you think the queen is thinking?"

Xu Ji glanced at Zhao Chengming, and didn't dare to say that you were weak. You personally invited your son's teacher out of the palace three times, and your daughter's teacher just issued an imperial decree. What would others think like this, let alone your son and your daughter? the same queen.

It is said that the prince is the crown prince, and the princess is not that important. You even personally invited Mrs. Qin to the academy where your second child is studying. Be more considerate. When it comes to your daughter, you should send someone to invite her. You can do it like this. Zhao, people don't want to come, and some people praise him for his nobility.

Xu Ji had lived in the palace for half his life, so he could understand this kind of careful thinking. He said cautiously: "Perhaps the empress also wants to invite Her Majesty's husband in person."

This is also very spiritual, but unfortunately the emperor did not feel it.

Seeing the emperor snorted, Xu Ji stopped talking, and followed closely with his head down. To be honest, he felt that he was really old. He had no problem at all following His Majesty on these roads for ten years, but now it is a bit difficult to take two steps. Leg pain and back pain.

After all, he is almost fifty, and there are already many eunuchs who have lived to this age.

At least he is already among the best in this battle in the palace.

The emperor was angry and angry, Xia Qing was willing to go, and Xu Zhongji was willing to resign and go with him. Does he still insist that you all don't go, and watch my flying pigeon send a message?

This was absurd, but the emperor really couldn't do without Xu Zhong, so he limited the time and assigned Xu Zhong many missions to visit along the way.

Last time, because of worrying about Gu Weiyun's pregnancy, the half year originally planned was shortened to just six months, which also included the time on the road. Since Xu Zhong is going to go out this time, let's go and have a look.

Xia Qing looked at Xu Zhong's packed things, his face became darker and darker, and finally couldn't help but said: "Just let us go out for three months, and you can see how much you can do for him."

Xu Zhong glanced at the displeased Xia Qing and said, "It's not for His Majesty, it's for the common people. This time Xuzhou didn't rain for three consecutive months, and there was a drought. In April and May, the rain didn't catch up with the earing of the wheat. I heard that the situation is not very good. good."

After hearing this, Xia Qing also sighed and said: "I knew you shouldn't be crowned, and I just let him send you to be an imperial envoy. You have merit and money."

Xu Zhong shook his head and said: "If you are an imperial envoy, you will have to stay there for at least a year, and you will not be able to return to Beijing until all the refugees from the disaster have been appeased. Your Majesty can't wait for too long."

Xia Qing was silent for a moment and said, "Master Zhang, is something wrong?"

Xu Zhong nodded and said: "The imperial physician has had a secret consultation, and it's only been this year. I worked too hard when I was young, and now I have no way to recover."

Xia Qing was a little sad, she had never really dealt with Zhang Zhi, but she was very familiar with the former ministers, she said with emotion: "Master Zhang is such a capable and loyal minister, I am afraid that there will be no next one in a short time."

Xu Zhong also said with emotion: "The times make heroes. Back then, it was a troubled time to fight for the world. When it was time to fight against the aristocratic family, now the aristocratic family is weak, and His Majesty is strong and alone, so no one dares to sing the opposite."

Xia Qing stepped forward and hugged Xu Zhong's waist from behind, saying: "Eunuch, you must take good care of your body, you can't be like Mr. Zhang, who will burn out in the end, it's ugly."

Xu Zhong held Xia Qing's hand tightly and said, "Xia Qing, don't worry."
