The fleet rushed all night and drove into the Hangzhou Bay Water Army Camp in the early morning. After getting off the ship, Zhao rode back to the city without stopping for a moment. However, he did not return to the palace, but went straight to Mingqingsi. Master Yuanmiao had not lived in the palace since his wedding. He led a few disciples to practice in the nearby Mingqing Temple, and only entered the palace on the tenth day of every month to guide him to practice martial arts.

Most of the Buddhist temples in Lin'an City are official temples. After the court moved south, the Mingqing Temple often held sacrificial prayers here. All the royal family and the civil and military bureaucrats held grand festivals or the emperor and the empress's Christmas Day, court officials also held grand ceremony here. Therefore, people regard Mingqing Temple as the Daxiangguo Temple in Tokyo that year, which shows its lofty status.

Later, several emperors believed in Taoism and built many Taoist temples in the city, but they could not affect the prominent status of Mingqing Temple. Although the incense became increasingly depressed after the loss of the country, it grew again with the relocation of Xingchao. Not only did it restore its former status, but the empress dowager often came here to incense and donate money to repair it, which was regarded as a royal temple. But when Zhao rushed to the temple in a hurry, he was still late. Yuan Miao had already led a group of disciples to leave the temple south.

Zhao Wenzhi couldn't help but feel sad. He held everyone away and stayed alone in Yuanmiao's meditation place. There was only one couch, one desk, and one cushion in the monk's house. It was extremely simple and there was nothing else. He sat dejectedly on the cushion, as if he wanted to feel the breath left behind, but what he left was the melancholy and complaints of the empty house and the lingering sadness.

"Ten years of friendship between master and disciple, why did you leave without saying goodbye..." Zhao did not expect that Yuan Miao would leave him one day, but when it really happened, it was still difficult to accept it, and he couldn't help but complain and murmur. He knew that Yuan Miao had left quietly, in addition to the current situation that was stable and no longer had life worries, it was very likely that it would be difficult to give up the relationship of being a master and a father for many years. He was worried that he would hesitate at that moment, so he chose this way to leave.

Zhao knew that it might be difficult to meet again after this farewell. Although Hangzhou and Quanzhou were only a few thousand miles apart, they were like natural barriers in ancient times. The hardships were not something modern people could understand. It can be said that the separation of life and death was like a separation of life and death. Transportation was backward and communication was backward. It may take several months to go out. Even last year, it can be said that once you go out, life and death are from heaven. Therefore, you need to worship the ancestors, and relatives and friends have to hold a banquet to farewell.

Anyway, this is why there was a saying in the past that "practice" was that every parting could be a separation of life and death. Of course, you have to have a big meal together! After doing these, you can get on the road with peace of mind. There are no stores everywhere on the road, and it is inevitable that you will sleep in the open air. Where there are sparsely populated areas, there may also be jackals, tigers, leopards, and bandits on the road. Even the waterway will affect travel due to the changes in the weather and water flow direction, and the danger is quite high. When the envoys of the Song Dynasty went to Goryeo, eight ships and seven ships were overturned.

Therefore, when Yuan Miao left, it was almost impossible to return to the capital because of his age. Although Zhao was young and strong, he did not need to consider these issues when going out, as the emperor, it was not easy for him to go out for a long journey. Not only did he mobilize many troops, he had to be careful of a fire in the backyard and could not come back after going out. Looking back at the emperors of the Song Dynasty, except for the founding Taizu and Emperor Taizong, most of them were around the gate of the capital. The two emperors of Hui and Qin finally went out for a long journey, but they were thanks to the Jurchens.

Thinking about the possibility of parting, Zhao was even more sad and couldn't help but cry like rain. However, he could not cry like an ordinary person, so he could only bury his head in front of his chest and shed tears silently. Although he tried his best to avoid his fragile side from appearing in front of others, his shaking shoulders still betrayed him...

"What's wrong with Your Majesty?" The news of the emperor's return to the capital had already reached the court, but he had not returned to the palace for a long time. Wang De and others who were guarding the temple did not see His Majesty come out until the afternoon, and they did not dare to enter without permission. They were worried that they could only report to the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager, and they were not convenient to leave the palace. The Empress Dowager ordered Ying Jieyan and other court officials to come and persuade him. He hurriedly saw Wang De and others turning around outside the door like ants on a hot pan, and then stepped forward and asked.

"Report to the Master Ying Ge, Your Majesty was very sad when he heard that Master Yuanmiao had left the capital. He never came out after entering the house!" Wang De breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that the little emperor was the most respectful and strict, and that the only one who could persuade Your Majesty was to be persuaded was the only one who could bow to him. He quickly bowed and reported.

"Have Your Majesty ever had a meal?" Ying Jieyan frowned and asked again after hearing this.

"After your Majesty received the news that Master Yuanmiao was leaving Beijing yesterday, he ordered his return flight after lunch without any use. He only drank some porridge for dinner, and he tossed and turned overnight and did not sleep well. This morning, the boat arrived without stopping as soon as he approached the port. Until now, the water and rice have not yet been stained!" Wang De replied hurriedly.

"You haven't entered the house to take a look? You're not afraid of something happening!" Liu Fu said angrily.

"Governor Liu should also know Your Majesty's temper. If you don't summon the young man, how dare you enter without permission!" Wang De said with a wry smile.

"Don't you know what Your Majesty did in the house?" Liu Fu also knew that what he said was true, but he still couldn't suppress his anger.

"Governor Liu, the young man also saw it through the crack in the door. After His Majesty entered, he sat on the cushion in a daze, as if... it seemed to be crying!" Wang De, as the emperor's close servant, was of course more concerned about his every move than anyone else. In fact, it was not only him who saw His Majesty crying, and the guards guarding outside the house also heard his strong crying. You must know that over the years, no matter how difficult it was, they had never seen the emperor cry. But today they were surprised, but were moved by it and felt the sadness of the little emperor.

"Your Majesty is crying, how could this happen?" Liu Fu was also very surprised when he heard this, and said in disbelief.

"Shengbo, don't say loudly!" Yingjie Yan lazily said in Liu Fu's sleeve, "Master Yuanmiao has been with Your Majesty Hu for more than ten years, and has been together day and night, as if he has been a relative. It is natural to leave suddenly. It is natural for human beings to feel sad, so why is it strange?"

"Well, Your Majesty is also a person who values ​​love and righteousness!" Liu Fu nodded and felt a little guilty in his heart. Over the years, the little emperor's words and deeds were different from ordinary people, and they no longer regarded him as an ordinary person. They ignored his age and emotions, and forgot that he was also a flesh-and-blood person.

"Master Yuanmiao left suddenly, let alone Your Majesty, even I felt very sad. I thought he would say goodbye before His Majesty came back, and I also wanted to hold a banquet for him. But I didn't expect that he would leave as soon as he said nothing, and he didn't even leave a chance to say goodbye!" Ying Jieyan choked up as he said, and half raised his head to prevent tears from leaving.

"Master Yuanmiao is also a strange man. He was originally a royal family but gave up his wealth and joined the monks. When the country was in danger, he could stand up to defend the country and protect the lord. Seeing that he was successful, he quietly went to worship the Buddha. How many people in the world can do this!" Liu Fu was infected and sighed.

"What a status Your Majesty is? Who doesn't respect him? But he can teach him a lesson without false pretense. He can punish him if he wants. Not only is his majesty not annoyed, but he respects him even more. This pair of masters and apprentices can also be called legends." Ying Jieyan agreed very much and said with a wry smile.

"I am also very worried. Now Master Yuanmiao has returned to Buddhism, and you are interested in resigning and returning home. But Your Majesty respects you and the two of you the most. If you leave one after another, I am afraid that no one in the court can advise Your Majesty again!" Liu Fu looked at Ying Jieyan. He said many times in private that he wanted to resign and return home. The little emperor is now acting more and more "radical" and does not listen to the advice of his ministers, which makes him deeply worried.

"Your Majesty runs the commander's mansion at the age of five and succeeds the throne at the age of six. Now it has been more than ten years. We have completed the responsibility of assisting. Your Majesty has now taken charge of power and has his own opinions. I am in the 70s and still staying in the court and blocking the promotion of others. Wouldn't it be too ignorant?" Ying Jieyan smiled.

"Although what I said to my father is reasonable, I am afraid that Your Majesty will not give up. Besides, the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains is about to be imminent, so how can you be missing?" Liu Fu saw that he looked very calm and seemed to have made up his mind to retire, so he frowned.

"Your Majesty is enterprising, and a group of officials in the court have matured. With their loyal assistance, great things can be accomplished. And I am old and successful, it is time to retreat bravely. As for Your Majesty, he also understands in his heart that separation from life and death is a common thing, and there is no banquet that will last forever. It's just that Your Majesty values ​​love and friendship, and it's hard to give up for a moment!" Ying Jieyan smiled and stroked his snow-white beard.

"I can still see through success and retreat... I still have a clear view of my father. It's time for me to retire after success and retreat." Liu Fu said silent for a long time after hearing this.

He knew in his heart that although he often said that he was indifferent to fame and fortune, power was so fascinating. He knew that the career of the government had reached its peak and it was almost impossible to go further, but he was always lucky. However, after Liu Fu returned to Jiangnan, the young emperor wanted to make progress as Ying Jieyan said, and his will to fight the Central Plains was very difficult. However, a group of old ministers had a slack heart, and their governance philosophy became conservative, which had a difference with the young emperor's program of governing the country.

Although the young emperor did not expressly rebuke the confidants, he began to vigorously promote those who believed in the trustworthy people, and even often passed the Secretariat and the Ministry of Justice to issue direct government orders. He also understood that this was gradually decentralizing power and weakening their power. He also saw farther than him. Jiangnan has been decided, and the Song Dynasty has passed the most dangerous juncture. As ministers of the capital, they worked hard and made great contributions. With the emperor's nature, they would inevitably treat them well at this time.

However, when the differences between the two sides are increasing, the conflicts intensify, and when the goal is exhausted, Liu Fu knew that even if the young emperor took into account the friendship between the past, he would not be ruthless in the face of the country's justice. Because when the two sides were forced to retire, or even demoted, it would be better to retire now, even if the friendship between the king and the ministers is fulfilled, and the descendants can be safe from their descendants.

As the emperor's teacher, Ying Jieyan was regarded as a trustworthy by the young emperor. He worked harder and made more contributions than himself. If the Empress Dowager and Your Majesty repeatedly tried to keep him, he would definitely request to retire. Although Master Yuanmiao was a noble man from the side, he would be the prince. However, he went further and did more resolutely, not only won the emperor's respect, but also left more thoughts. When Liu Fu thought of this, he suddenly realized his mind and developed a desire to retreat.

"You should be the master, Governor Liu, let me go in advance, so I'd better try to comfort Your Majesty!" Seeing that the two old men were not in a hurry at this time, Wang De was anxious and chatting around.

"Don't be anxious, your Majesty is just because Master Yuanmiao suddenly left, and it is difficult for him to accept it for a moment. It will be better if he lets him vent his anger. It's better than suffocating it!" Ying Jieyan smiled and comforted Wang Dedao.

"But Your Majesty has not had a rest for two days and has not eaten yet another day. I am still worried!" Wang De said with a bitter face.

"You are concerned about it and you will be confused. During the war, Your Majesty often forgot to eat and sleep, and never sleeps for many days, and there is nothing wrong. It's only one day." Ying Jieyan said again.

"This... this is the smallest thing because he is worried that Master Yuanmiao will be depressed as soon as he leaves!" If someone else said such a thing, even if Wang De did not fight him to the death, he would still be punished for disrespect. However, it seemed reasonable to say it from Ying Jieyan, and he did not dare to be abrupt at all, which made him unable to refute it, but his concern remained unreduced.

"No, Your Majesty is very ordinary. He has seen strong winds and waves, and has experienced the difference between life and death. This little thing is difficult to defeat Your Majesty. It will be better in a while." Liu Fu was also watching his nervous look and said enlightenment.

"I hope this is the case!" Wang De's expression was slowing down a little, but he still said worriedly.

"Your Majesty is coming out!" At this moment, with the sound of the door shaft, the little emperor walked out of the monk's house. Wang De turned his face and saw that his eyes were red and swollen, his face was still covered with tears, his lips were cracked and peeled, and there were two shiny blisters. But suddenly he came out, and the sun shook, his body shook twice, and he quickly stepped forward to support him.

"I will meet your Majesty!" Ying Jieyan and Liu Fu also looked up and down at the same time. Seeing that although he was a little listless, he was fine, he hurried forward and said with politeness.

"Your dear!" Zhao stood firm and raised his hand and said, "Transfer my will to be the magistrate of the Great Song Dynasty to grant Yuan Miao a fund to rebuild the Shaolin Temple in Quanzhou. The local government should provide full assistance and no mistakes should be made. The prefectures and counties where the master returns to the road, and shall not neglect them. Violators shall be severely punished and not borrowed!"

"I followed the order and immediately drafted the order and ordered the local government!" Ying Jieyan and Liu Fu were relieved when they heard this. The young emperor issued an order to grant Yuan Miao a title, indicating that he had accepted the reality and passed the hurdle in his heart, and immediately polite.

"Is there water? I am so thirsty!" After issuing the imperial edict, Zhao turned his face and asked Wang De for the waterway.

"Yes, yes, come on, the little one has already been hung for the official family!" Wang De was relieved when he heard the little emperor ask for water to drink, and hurriedly urged Xiaohuangmen to present the dried tea.

"Himmer", Zhao drank several cups of tea one after another, burped and said, "It's getting late, go back to the palace!"

"Your Majesty has an order to return to the palace!" Wang De was originally worried that the little emperor would not return to the palace and wanted to stay here for a few days, but now he is going back. He was overjoyed and shouted in a long voice...
Chapter completed!
