The fourth day of the fifth month.

On the moat of Beijing, a magnificent official ship with a length of eight feet and a board height of more than eight feet is slowly moving, and more than a dozen yellow, yellow, green and green flags such as 'Patriarch Zhishi', 'Glory Returns to Hometown', 'Qin Ordered Escort', and 'Greeting Along the Way Prefectures and Counties'.

Xu Fan, who was dressed in a brocade robe and wearing a big hat, stood on the deck with his hands in his hands, looking at the prosperous imperial scenery in front of him stupidly.

Since Jiajing entered Beijing with his father in the nineteenth year, he has been living here, and he is already a complete Beijinger.

He thought he would live in the city for a long, long time.

Who knew that his father, who was in the middle of the day, would be so gloomy. He, a self-contained little pavilion elder, could only follow him home.

These scenery that I have long been accustomed to, I wonder if I will be able to see them again in this life?

As soon as he thought of this, Xu Fan's nose was sour, and his heart was blocked.

He looked back at the cabin behind him, and his father must have felt even more uncomfortable......

~~

After saying goodbye to the hundred officials who came to see him off at the official ship dock, Xu Jie rushed into the cabin, not wanting to look at this sad place again.

Going into the wild in such an undignified way, Xu Ge Lao was already very uncomfortable in his heart.

And there are so many foolish people who don't know the truth, scolding outside the gate all day long, making the old Shoufu completely disheartened. canceled the rich arrangements before leaving, and left Beijing in a low-key manner.

But even today, the emperor didn't let him go comfortably. The retirement treatment given to him before was far inferior to Gao Gong, and before he left, he didn't even send a lieutenant to send it.

You must know that even at that time, Guo Pu Zhishi and Huang Dì Dū sent the eunuch as a representative to send him off, and he also gave a parting gift.

For a chief assistant of the two dynasties and an auxiliary political elder, this is clearly a naked humiliation.

Thinking of the sympathetic gaze in the eyes of the hundred officials on the dock, Xu Jie felt that he had become a pitiful worm in the eyes of others.

"Hey......"

Xu Ge Lao lay on the couch and sighed for a long time. The old man did his best for Daming, how could he end up like this?

In fact, compared with the momentary honor and disgrace, what worries him more is Zhang Juzheng's attitude.

Although there is no direct evidence, Xu Ge can clearly feel that this good student has played a disgraceful role in a series of political waves against him last month.

Even if he didn't attack himself directly, he was afraid that he would be suspected of sitting back and fueling the troubles.

This feeling of being betrayed by a disciple who has been carefully cultivated by himself is really heartbreaking.

What made Xu Jie even more breathless was that he could only knock out his teeth and swallow the blood in his stomach, because after he became a minister, he had to count on Zhang Juzheng's protection.

It was because Zhang Juzheng went to his house yesterday to say goodbye, and Xu Ge Lao had to greet him with a smile. begged him in a low voice, if Gao Gong came back in the future, please be sure to take care of the Xu family's thoughtfulness.

Zhang Juzheng naturally agreed. But whether his promise can be fulfilled by then, Xu Ge Lao has no bottom in his heart......

"Hey......" Xu Jie sighed again. Why did you know in the first place today? Why do you want to fight to the death with Gao Gong?

The old man is really called a dog full of melancholy......

~~

Listening to Xu Jie's long sigh in the cabin, Xu Fan's heart was even more uncomfortable, and he was about to go in to comfort his father.

Suddenly, Xu Yuanchun said excitedly at the bow of the boat: "Dad, look! ”

Xu Fan looked for prestige in a daze, and saw that on the pier of the Datong Bridge in front of him, tens of thousands of people had gathered in the black press.

Those poor people deliberately changed into clean clothes, helped the old and the young, carried baskets, and held colorful umbrellas for the people, gathered at the dock to send them off.

"Your Excellency, please stay and drink this glass of wine before you leave......"

"My lord, we will never forget your kindness in our lives......"

"A good official like my lord, but he was framed by a traitor and left Beijing, it's really blind!"

Seeing this situation, Xu Fan's blood turned up, and he immediately opened the hatch and shouted inside:

"Father, come out and see! Right and wrong are at ease in people's hearts! There are many more people who think of you than those people who have ulterior motives! ”

Xu Jie had already heard the movement outside the cabin, so he hurriedly dressed up, put on a black gauze hat, and slowly came to the cabin with the support of Changsui.

Seeing the reluctance of the people to bow and worship and burst into tears, Xu Ge Lao's eyes were red, and he choked in a low voice:

"It seems that the old man is not too much of a failure."

"How could my father think that?" Xu Fan stepped forward to pick up his father and helped him walk towards the boat. "You are the first assistant of the two dynasties who are in the community, and Ze is the first assistant of the two dynasties!"

"Hey, I almost forgot ......" Xu Jie, wiping the wet corners of his eyes with his sleeve, was about to humble himself to the people on the shore.

But I heard someone shouting on an official boat in front of him.

"Father and fellow villagers, get up quickly, Zhao can't afford it!"

"Uh......" Xu Ge was stunned when he was old, didn't the people come to send him?

He really didn't guess wrong, he just heard the people on the shore shouting:

"Why can't Lord Zhao afford it? If it weren't for you, we homeless people would have frozen to death and starved to death! ”

"Yes, we can survive, all thanks to Lord Zhao......"

Elder Xu Ge felt that the blood in his whole body was surging towards his head. A fair face, the face turned red.

"Lord Zhao angrily reprimanded the dog official for us, and even ate the emperor's court staff! If we don't come to kowtow to you, will we still call someone? ”

Hearing this, Xu Jie's eyes darkened, and he almost fainted.

"Father!" Xu Fan didn't care about the seizure, and hurriedly held his father first.

"Fool go away!" Xu Jie, who was ashamed and angry, pushed his son's hand away and stumbled back into the cabin.

Xu Fan was even more uncomfortable than Xu Ge Lao's heart. Those homeless people are a 'dog official', and they are scolding him.

But reason told him that the wrath of the crowd should not be offended.

Xu Fan had no choice but to suppress his anger, staring at Zhao Shouzheng's slightly rickety back on the boat in front of him with red eyes, gritted his teeth and said:

"The surname is Zhao, let's see!"

Then he glanced coldly at Xu Yuanchun, who was frightened like a fawn. "Evil obstacles, it's all your fault, let me in!"

Xu Yuanchun glanced at the river behind him in fear, and said in his heart, it's better to jump down.

~~

Coincidentally, the Zhao family's father and son also left Beijing on the fourth day of the fifth lunar month.

Zhao Shouzheng's grade was not enough, and he was demoted out of Beijing, so he was naturally not qualified to set off from the official ship wharf in the city, so he could only board the ship at the Datong Bridge wharf outside Dongbianmen.

They were a group of about 200 people, and they needed five boats with their luggage.

Zhao Hao and his son got on the boat as soon as they opened the city gate, and they didn't finish loading the ship until the third pole on the day.

Father and son were tired for the past few days, and they didn't have to worry about it anyway, so they plunged into the cabin to catch up on sleep.

It wasn't until the homeless people who came outside to see them off gathered more and more, and there was a posture of not letting them go if they didn't see Zhao Shouzheng, that Zhao Shizhen had to call the two up.

Zhao Shouzheng held his waist and slowly walked out of the cabin, startled by the scene of thousands of people sending each other.

He hurriedly wanted to shout for everyone to get up, but the voice that came out was very empty.

When the people saw Zhao Zhuangyuan's pale face and vain figure, they couldn't help but feel like a knife.

Lord Zhao is really badly injured!

Many people cried on the spot, and Zhao Shouzheng hurriedly gave birth to comfort and say goodbye to the victims.

Zhao Hao rubbed his sleepy eyes, and was also stunned by this scene.

He didn't arrange it.

In the past two days, his busy feet have not touched the ground, and Zhao Gongzi has completely forgotten that there should be such a parting drama to be complete.

It turns out that the common people really won't forget the people who once sheltered them......
