Chapter 2438 2114. Request to retire

The next day.

Zhao Dongting held a banquet to entertain dozens of people including Wen Tianxiang, Chen Wenlong, Zhao Da and Zhen Jin.

Of course, except for real gold, the rest of the people in the Yuan Dynasty did not receive banquets.

Apart from real gold, they were all meritorious officials in the Great Song Dynasty War to Conquer Yuan.

This is a comfort banquet! The banquet was very rich, with delicacies and birds and beasts filling the entire table.

This must be a considerable expense, but Zhao Dongting has always believed that he should not save what he should not save.

We cannot treat these heroes who sacrificed their lives for the Song Dynasty.

At the banquet, except for the real gold silently, the atmosphere of the rest of the people was quite warm.

These ministers of the Song Dynasty, including the retired Zhang Shijie, Zhang Jue, Sun Shichuan, Chen Jianghan, and the still-reigning Lu Xiufu, Wen Tianxiang, Wang Wenfu, Zhao Yuluo, Chen Wenlong and others, as well as the young and strong school Zhong Jian, Wen Qingshu, Zhu Hecong, Li Zhaoen and others, have all worked hard for the Song Dynasty over the years.

In recent years, most of the people in the imperial court can be said to be selfless and have worked hard for the same dream.

Of course, the private relationship of such a group of people is also very good.

After returning from a great victory, everyone felt very happy and they all drank openly.

If outsiders see this, it will be hard to imagine that these people are composed of the central part of the Song Dynasty.

They were holding their arms, singing war songs, laughing loudly.

Some, laughed and shed tears again.

He raised his hand and wiped it off, and continued to laugh.

No one used his internal energy to get rid of alcohol.

It lasted for only two quarters of an hour, and some people were already drunk, and people with good alcohol tolerance were also slightly drunk.

Wen Tianxiang and Chen Wenlong suddenly brought the wine glass to Zhao Dongting.

Zhao Dongting looked at the red faces of the two, smiled, and picked up the wine glass, "I will toast you this glass of wine."

In this era, Chen Wenlong and Wen Tianxiang were already old, but they were still working hard for the Song Dynasty and taking the lead.

This spirit is selfless and worthy of admiration.

After saying that, Zhao Dongting raised his neck and drank the wine in his glass in one sip.

Chen Wenlong and Wen Tianxiang looked at each other and drank the wine in the glass.

Then Wen Tianxiang said, "Your Majesty, I have something to ask for."

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

He really couldn't imagine that Wen Tianxiang had anything else to use the word "Que".

With his contribution to the Song Dynasty, his current status should not be used.

Wen Tianxiang smiled and said, "I have been leading the army in battle over the years, and I can't hold on to this old bone anymore.

Therefore, if I want to retire, I would like to ask the emperor to give in."

Chen Wenlong also said from the side: "So, I am, the Song Dynasty is now at its peak.

Our old bones can also hand over the power in peace and go home to enjoy our old age."

Zhao Dongting looked shocked on his face, and then said, "The Deputy State Council Order will be able to retreat to the second line in a few months, and military aircraft will only be more than four years away from retreating to the second line.

Why do you want to surrender now?”

The three of them didn't speak loudly, and they were all covered in the noisy atmosphere.

Wen Tianxiang laughed and said, "Now the Song Dynasty has emerged in many talents. I think that if we were not as proud old guys as us, the Song Dynasty might have developed faster."

As he said that, he paused and said, "Of course, the most important thing is that I feel tired."

He said this very sincerely without any pretentiousness.

He was indeed the person who made the most painful contribution to the Song Dynasty, and it can be said that he could not even be said to be one of them.

The huge literary family at that time is now only the literary ones left.

Those friends and fellow villagers who followed Wen Tianxiang to fight south and north, but there were not many left over the years.

Zhao Dongting always knew that Wen Tianxiang was carrying a great responsibility and a great guilt in his heart.

In the past, the great enemy of the Song Dynasty and the Yuan Dynasty had not yet been destroyed. He was able to support the righteousness without showing any weakness.

And now, the guilt in his heart is probably already prevailing.

After sighing a little, Zhao Dongting said, "What should I do about this matter? Let me tell you in detail later?"

Wen Tianxiang and Chen Wenlong both heard that Zhao Dongting was loose, so of course they would not force Zhao Dongting for this matter. They nodded and retreated.

Zhao Dongting watched the two of them merge into the group of old ministers and pursed his lips.

The Yuan Dynasty was destroyed.

There are no more enemies around the Song Dynasty.

Perhaps, there are many old ministers in the court now who have Wen Tianxiang and Chen Wenlong who think like this, right?

They are all righteous people and do not take personal honor and disgrace to heart.

What they care about is that the Song Dynasty still needs them or not, what else can they do for the Song Dynasty?

Just now, Wen Tianxiang's words without them, the Song Dynasty might be able to develop faster.

This sentence suddenly touched Zhao Dongting's heart.

Wen Tianxiang was not saying politely, but that he really felt that he was old.

Perhaps this is the hero's mentality in the late twilight?

Zhao Dongting was unwilling to reject them from the bottom of his heart.

These people have paid enough for the Song Dynasty. From a personal perspective, Zhao Dongting himself feels that they should live their lives and enjoy life now.
