Chapter 711 Honor Retirement (Fill)

These old guys have been entrenched in Jiankang for many years, not only in the court, but even in the palace, there are more or less people from them.

Because of this, Yang Jingzong was able to receive accurate news from the palace not long after Zhang Jing entered the palace, and rushed into the palace in a hurry.

Shen Yi watched Yang Jingzong's sedan chair stop at the gate of the imperial city, and then watched old man Yang enter the imperial city, then turned around and left leisurely. After wandering around the northern city, he returned home to play with his children.

When Shen Yi got up early the next morning, he heard the news that Zhang Jing was about to leave Jiankang.

The old man was leaving, Shen Yi couldn't pretend not to know, but fortunately he was still out of work and didn't have to go to work in the Ministry of War, so he changed his clothes and rushed to Zhang's mansion to see the old man off.

When Shen Yi rushed to the gate of Zhang's house, he saw four or five large cars parked in front of Zhang's house. Master Shen was a little curious and took a closer look.

Most of the carriage was loaded with books.

Most of them were hidden by the old man for most of his life.

After taking a few glances at these carts, Shen Yi was about to enter Zhang's mansion to have a look at the situation. Before he entered Zhang's house, he saw old man Zhang Jing walking out of Zhang's mansion with his old lady.

Following behind the old couple are Zhang Jian's father Zhang He and Taichang Temple Chancellor Zhang Jian.

Both father and son kept persuading Zhang Jing.

Especially Zhang Jian's father, Zhang He, pulled his father's sleeve, lowered his head and begged, "Father, although His Majesty allowed you to return to your hometown, he didn't let you go immediately. It will be the end of the new year soon. You Is it possible to celebrate the New Year on the road with my mother?"

He whispered: "You want to go back, and you will go back after the new year. At that time, my son will accompany you back to Yuqian..."

The old man glanced at his son stubbornly, and said, "When do I want you to accompany me?"

"Yu Qian is only five hundred miles away from Jiankang."

The old man said, "We traveled fifty miles a day, and we arrived home around the Spring Festival."

At this time, the three grandparents and grandchildren had almost walked in front of Shen Yi. Master Shen silently glanced at the three of them, then stepped forward silently, cupped his hands at Zhang Jing, and said with a smile: "Old Xiangguo."

"It's Mr. Shen."

A smile appeared on Zhang Jing's face, and he said, "It's rare that you can come to see off the old man."

He stepped forward and patted Shen Yi's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Mr. Shen will be free in the future. Remember to sit down with Yu Qian. The old man invites Mr. Shen to eat our Yu Qian's food."

Master Shen blinked, but didn't answer.

Yuqian County is a county under the jurisdiction of Lin'an Prefecture.

Shen Yi has been to this Lin'an Mansion, and lived in Lin'an Mansion for a while. This Lin'an Mansion is a good place, and the water is also very good, but the food is really not that good.

Therefore, Shen Yi did not answer the old man's words. He coughed and said, "Old Xiangguo is leaving in such a hurry, why don't you stay in Jiankang for two more months?"

"I have to go, I have to go."

The old man said with a serious face: "If you don't leave, you won't be able to get home before the end of the year."

As he said that, he was about to get into the carriage with his wife.

Shen Yi silently came to Zhang Jian's side, lowered his head slightly and asked, "Senior brother, what's wrong with Prime Minister Zhang? I'm leaving in such a hurry, can't even pass the year?"

Zhang Jian couldn't persuade his grandfather. Hearing the words, she looked back at Shen Yi helplessly, and said, "Original father was not in such a hurry. He planned to spend the new year in Jiankang and leave Beijing after the spring next year." ,only…"

Zhang Jian paused for a moment, then continued: "After Elder Father went to the palace yesterday, not long after, Prime Minister Yang also went."

"I know this."

Shen Yi nodded and said: "I also saw eight members of the Yang family carrying sedan chairs, they are really magnificent."

Zhang Jian looked left and right, then pulled Shen Yi aside, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty approved the memorial for the elder father to beg for the bones to return home, but..."

"But there is no such thing as Prime Minister Yang."

Speaking of this, Zhang Jian frowned slightly and said: "After the father heard the news, he didn't know what happened, so he insisted on leaving Jiankang as soon as possible, saying that he couldn't wait for a day."

"Father and grandmother are both at this age, and it's the cold winter months, and they have to travel such a long distance, how can people feel at ease?"

When Shen Yi heard this, his eyes turned slightly.

Originally, he estimated that after Zhang Jing told the old man to leave Beijing, the next one would be Yang Jingzong, and if Lao Yang left Jiankang, then His Majesty the Emperor would be able to do some things that should be done, and the court will go through a new round of power change After that, a new balance of power will be reached.

Unexpectedly, after releasing Zhang Jing, the emperor chose to keep Yang Jingzong!
There are many meanings behind this news that can be pondered.

For example, why did His Majesty the Emperor do this?Is it necessary to clean up Zhang Dang and reuse Yang Dang?

One day yesterday, because of this incident, Jiankang City was full of rumors, and some people even said that the emperor would re-appoint Yang Jingzong as Prime Minister.

But after Mr. Shen returned home yesterday, he didn't go out again, and today he slept in. He really just received the news.

However, in Shen Yi's view, there is another solution to this news.

That is, the emperor was willing to let Zhang Jing leave, give Zhang Jing a good death, and even pretend to be completely ignorant of Zhang's party members, but the emperor was not necessarily willing to treat Yang Jingzong.

The emperor kept him, firstly to paralyze the Qi people in the Northern Dynasty, and secondly, so that one day in the future, when the court needs to inspire people, the emperor can clean up all the "turtle sects" under Yang Jingzong's command. Morale and people's hearts are also up.

As for Zhang Jing, most likely he also saw this level, so he hurried to leave Jiankang, in order to get away from Jiankang as soon as possible.

Shen Yi thought for a while, then looked at Zhang Jian, and said, "Brother, the old prime minister has ruled the country for many years, so he has his own reasons for doing this. If the brother's family is worried, you can ask the family to follow, and the journey will be slower." .”

After saying this, Shen Yi said a few more words with Zhang Jian, and then he came to the old man, and smiled at the old man, "Old Xiangguo won't go back until the imperial court's imperial decree to confer the third division comes down?"

When Zhang Jing was in office, he had the title of the Prince's Young Master. After Hong De retired from the court in six years, he was named the Prince's Grand Master by the court.

Now, he took the initiative to ask the old man to return to his hometown. If the emperor gave him face, he should give him the title of grand master, so that the old man would look better when he went back.

The old man seemed to have completely read it at this time, and smiled at Shen Yi: "What does it matter if the three masters are not the third master? You can't grow a piece of meat."

As he said that, he looked at Shen Yi and said softly: "Mr. Shen, San'er is a bit straightforward. The old man will not be in Jiankang anymore. If there is anything else, I hope you can give him more advice."

"Don't dare."

Shen Yi lowered his head slightly and said: "At most, it's helping each other, and senior brother has also helped me a lot over the years."

The old man nodded with a smile, suddenly glanced at the people around him, then watched Shen Yi walk aside, and said with a smile: "Old Yang also entered the palace yesterday."

The old man's smiling eyes were gone.

"He talked with His Majesty in the palace for nearly an hour, but His Majesty didn't let him go."

"Ha ha…"

Zhang Jing laughed heartily: "This is very interesting."

"It's a pity that the old man is not in Jiankang, so I can't see what the future will be like."

Zhang Jing looked at Shen Yi, smiled and said, "Mr. Shen can probably see it."

Shen Yi also smiled slightly.

"This is all the more congratulations to Xiangguo."

Old man Zhang stroked his beard and chuckled: "That's it for now, I can't wait to go back to my hometown. Speaking of which, the last time I went back was six or seven years ago."

Zhang Jing stopped talking to Shen Yi, but got into the carriage very stubbornly. Together with Zhang Jian, Shen Yi sent the old couple out of the city gate. In the end, Zhang Jian's father, Zhang He, was still worried and took his wife to follow the old couple. The two went back to Yu Qian's hometown.

As soon as Zhang He and his wife left, Zhang Jian looked at Shen Yi who was standing aside with a bitter face.

"This time, I will be left alone in Jiankang to celebrate the New Year."

Master Shen smiled and said: "Anyway, things in Taichang Temple are not busy, senior brother might as well ask Qing Zheng for a leave of absence, and go back to Yuqian together for a year before coming back."

"No."

Zhang Jian shook her head slightly and said, "After the New Year's Eve, I'm going to work in the household department."

Shen Yi was taken aback when he heard the words, and then reacted.

It should be the arrangement made by old man Zhang before he left.

He asked, "Is it Doctor Tobu?"

"How can it be so fast."

Zhang Jian looked at Shen Yi and said helplessly, "I'm not you..."

He sighed and said, "I'm now the sixth-rank prime minister of Taichang Temple. After being transferred to the household department, it's already very good to be a fifth-rank official wailang."

"Tsk..."

Master Shen glanced at Zhang Jian quietly.

"Senior brother said this is really annoying. The younger brother was born and died in the southeast in the past few years. I don't know how many difficulties he has experienced. He almost died in the southeast. So far, he is only a doctor of the fifth rank. Senior brother is leisurely in Jiankang. Immediately From the fifth grade!"

"And Da Chen's household department is much better than the military department."

"Comparing people to people, it's really maddening."

Hearing these words, Zhang Jian's mood improved a lot. He patted Shen Yi on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Go, I invite you to Guiyun Tower for a drink!"

Shen Yi readily agreed, and said with a smile: "Then I must have a good meal for senior brother."

……

In the palace of nectar.

Gao Ming was reporting to His Majesty the Emperor, the Emperor put down the document in his hand, looked at Gao Ming, and asked, "Zhang Jing is gone?"

"Yes."

Gao Ming lowered his head and said, "Zhang Xiang took his wife and son and daughter-in-law, and they just left Jiankang."

The emperor rubbed the center of his brows and asked, "The Zhang family is in Jiankang, so there is only one Zhang Jian?"

"Yes."

Gao Ming nodded and said, "There is also Zhang Jian's family."

The emperor nodded again, and said slowly: "Master Zhang is sensible, this time Zhang Jian is transferred to the household department, give him a higher position as appropriate."

After saying this, the emperor asked again: "Where's Shen Qi?"

Gao Ming bowed his head: "It should be drinking with Zhang Jian."

The emperor snorted when he heard this.

"Call him into the palace..."

After saying these four words, the emperor shook his head again.

"Forget it, call him into the palace tomorrow afternoon."

Gao Ming bowed his head deeply.

"The servant obeys..."
