Chapter 636

Song Mu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, thinking that Li Dong knew the news that he was leaving, but Song Mu still took a step forward and said with cupped hands.

"Your Highness..."

"My lord, don't call me like that now. My father named me Cheng Lin. If your lord doesn't mind, you can call me like that in the future."

Song Mu shook his head slightly, and said slowly at this moment.

"Your Highness, I'm used to calling it like this. If I change it temporarily, I'm not used to it."

Hearing this, Li Dong seemed to be in a trance, his expression was slightly touched, and he nodded slightly.

"Then it's up to you."

Having said that, Li Dong also got up, looked up at the hall, and sighed silently.

"In a few days, I will leave here. I think I will never come here again."

Li Dong's voice was full of sadness, Song Mu immediately looked up at the other party, puzzled, Li Dong had already continued.

"Originally, I should have kept my father's filial piety for three years, but..."

Li Dong shook his head slightly, his face full of loneliness.

"Some people don't want me to stay in Chang'an, and want me to leave far away."

Song Muran, it turned out that Li Dong's farewell meant that he would also leave from Chang'an.

And who is among them is naturally self-evident.

At this moment, Song Mu's gaze slowly fell on the painting in his hand, hesitation flashed across his face, but he still let out a deep breath, and handed over the thing in his hand.

"Your Highness, I didn't expect such a separation. I didn't know the reason for this thing."

From Li Dong's point of view, Song Mu had already handed the thing in his hand to the other party. Li Dong reached out to take the scroll, and immediately unfolded it in front of Song Mu.

Seeing the things above clearly, Li Dong also paused for a moment.

It seemed a little displeased, but at this moment Li Dong just looked up at Song Mu and asked in a deep voice.

"This thing... Did His Majesty ask the Lord to give it to me?"

Song Mu nodded, and Li Dong smiled lightly, but his face seemed a little relieved. At this moment, he carefully rolled it up and put it on the table beside him solemnly.

"Alright, this is the original work of your lord, and I rarely keep it, but I want your lord to cut it off."

Seeing Li Dong's calm face, Song Mu lowered his eyes slightly at this moment, thinking that the current Li Dong might have a better understanding of this matter.

It's just that Song Mu really didn't know where to explain it, so he just cupped his hands and said.

"In the future, Your Highness might as well be a free-spirited scholar. It would be wonderful to see the Wen Dynasty and leave a few beautiful articles for the world."

Li Dong nodded slightly.

"Yeah, I also have this plan. I have been living in Chang'an for decades, but I am about to open my eyes."

Li Dong said so, and now he looked at Song Mu again, and asked a question immediately.

"What about the future, my lord? Do you continue to teach the children of the royal family here, or... have another high-level job?"

Song Mu smiled calmly, and said now, clasping his hands.

"Your Highness, in fact, I came here this time to bid farewell to Your Highness."

Li Dong was taken aback when he heard this, obviously he didn't understand the meaning, Song Mu just explained calmly.

"I have already handed in my resignation letter to His Majesty today, and I am ready to return to my hometown."

Li Dong was stunned when he heard this, and said in a rather puzzled manner at the moment.

"My lord, why should you be like this? You are in your prime, and it is a good time to contribute to the Wen Dynasty."

Song Mu looked up at the other party, and the eyes of the two met. Li Dong seemed to understand Song Mu's meaning.

"My lord is... unwilling to serve His Majesty?"

"It's true that Song only knows how to read, so he may not be able to make any achievements in this court."

Song Mu explained a few words calmly, and Li Dong's face gradually calmed down, but the way he looked at Song Mu seemed to be a little different.

"My lord, if I have the opportunity to go to the Jiangnan West Road in the future, I will definitely take a good look at it. What kind of place is it, and there are such talented people as my lord."

Song Mu bowed his hands to Li Dong with a smile, whispered a few words, and then bowed his hands and said goodbye.

It's just that at this moment, there is a little bit of reluctance to say goodbye.

"Your Highness, perhaps one day, we will finally meet again."

"When the time comes, let's have a drink together and recall the past."

Song Mu saluted Li Dong respectfully, looked up at the East Palace, and walked out of the imperial city slowly.

Soon, Song Mu's resignation was also approved by Li Mo'er.

This matter was spread in the court in an instant, and it aroused a lot of discussion for a while, and the news was immediately spread in Chang'an.

Countless people have heard the news that Song Mu is going to leave, and when they regret it, they can't help but speculate about it, especially those students, who are even more heartbroken by this, thinking that Wen Chao has missed a good talent in this way.

Even at this time, many people realized that Song Mu already had a good position in the officialdom of the Wen Dynasty.

Many officials who were close to Song Mu came to persuade him, but Song Mu calmly refused. Even Song Mu's friends couldn't figure it out, Song Mu wanted to retreat bravely at this moment.

Only Song Mu understood best why he did this.

I am really tired of all this, and in the battle that day, Song Mu felt the desire for strength for a long time.

Living in Chang'an, it seems that he can control the affairs of the world, and is admired and revered by thousands of people.

But Song Mu is still a pawn, and when he does not have enough strength to grow up, he is still at the mercy of others.

In the future, his strength will be further improved. On that day, not to mention a comeback, at least he can be a figure like Xiang Daru, with few constraints.

The day of departure finally arrived.

On this day, Song Mu's family packed up and two carriages stopped at the gate of the city. Song Mu got out of the carriage and led his family to bid farewell to the visitors.

Old friends Tan Weiyi, Xu Yuncai, Kong Zong who stayed in Chang'an to continue studying, and Sun Fang have all arrived.

Many students even knew about Song Mu's departure one after another, and they came to see him off one after another.

The past seems to be still before our eyes, but today Song Mu's heart is much calmer.

"Brother Jingzhao, after leaving this time, I don't know when we will meet again."

"Perhaps when the time comes, we will go to Jiangnan West Road to find you."

Tan Weiyi talked to Song Mu a little tiredly, cupped his hands this time, and spoke softly again.

"His Highness went to the imperial mausoleum to express his condolences, and said that he would definitely look for you in the future, and asked you to take care of yourself."

Song Mu nodded with a smile, and said a few words to Tan Weiyi and the others. After drinking the Jianxing wine this time, he bowed his hands to everyone.

"Everyone, there will always be a day when we meet again in the future, we must be the pillars of the Wen Dynasty, take care!"

Everyone waved their hands and said goodbye, watching Song Mu's family board the carriage and head towards the direction of the Baoshan Great Wall.

On the carriage, Song Mu sighed for a long time, and Gu Qingqing who was sitting next to him at the moment just stretched out a hand to hold Song Mu, with a gentle expression on his face.

Looking at each other speechlessly, Song Mu just lifted the curtain slightly and looked out the window.

The carriage left Zhuqueguan all the way and crossed the Yellow River. Chang'an was getting farther and farther away.

On this day, Song Mu and the others had not been on the official road for a long time, but the carriage stopped suddenly. Song Mu was resting in the carriage with his eyes closed, and opened his eyes immediately.

"Father, there are two carriages blocking the way ahead."

Song Huaitong opened the curtain and said to Song Mu at this moment, Song Mu also got up at this moment, got out of the carriage and looked forward.

Two large carriages were parked on the official road, but at this moment one person got out of them.

Song Mu saw who was coming, but was suddenly taken aback.

"Your Highness, why are you?"

The person who came was actually Li Dong, who was wearing plain clothes at the moment. Hearing Song Mu's words, he hurried forward.

"Master Song, I heard that you have already set off, so hurry up and finally catch up with you."

Seeing the other party, Song Mu looked surprised at the moment, but Li Dong suddenly took a step back, and then knelt down straight towards Song Mu.

"Your Highness must not..."

"My lord, you have taught me in Donggong for a long time, and you have helped me a lot."

"In the imperial mausoleum, I had this idea in my heart. Li Dong hopes to follow your lord and go to the south of the Yangtze River."

"In this life, I only hope to read the books of sages and sages, and together with adults, read all over the common people, and pursue Confucianism and Taoism."

Li Dong's voice was very calm, and now Song Mu looked at Li Dong who was kneeling on the ground, and was actually moved.

Song Mu nodded slightly, and now helped Li Dong up.

"Since Your Highness is willing to be with me, then from now on, we will be close friends, read all over the world, and pursue Confucianism and Taoism."

Li Dong raised his head to look at Song Mu, his eyes moved.

The carriage headed south and crossed thousands of mountains and rivers. At the same time, the new emperor issued an edict, announcing that he would be the crown prince of the Wen Dynasty. name.

The imperial edict came out suddenly, and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty spoke of the sageness of the heavens, and the hearts of the people began to feel at ease here.
