After a long time, Zhao Jun slowly said: "Why is Zhang Xiang so important?"

Zhang He smiled and replied: "In the future, there will be no place for veterans in the court, so it is better to go back."

Zhao Jun shook his head:
"I said that the cabinet will have a chief assistant. I am interested in you as the first chief assistant."

Zhang He slowly shook his head and said firmly:
"Your Majesty, I am old...

Even if he continues to stay in the court, how many years can he stay?
The intrigues in the imperial court over the years have also made the old minister exhausted mentally and physically. Now that His Majesty wants to abolish the prime minister, I might as well retreat and get a chance to leave my name in history.

At least what will be recorded in the history of the future will be that Zhang He, the last prime minister in the world, finally retired and returned to his hometown to take care of himself.

However, Fei Zhanghe was forced to abandon his position under the torrent of the times and became the chief assistant. "

"Zhang Fang really can't stay?"

Zhao Jun was silent for a while again and asked again.

"I want to go home and farm. I heard from my family that the loquat tree planted by my old wife has grown up.

There is a loquat tree in the courtyard, which was planted by my wife when he died.

Your Majesty, I would like to ask your Majesty for permission! "

Zhao Jun took a deep breath and looked at the old man who was bending and bowing in front of him with complex eyes. He had worked hard for this country for most of his life.

Now his temples are all gray, and even his granddaughter is still his imperial concubine.

Now, he has to retire and return to his hometown.

After slowly closing his eyes for a moment, Zhao Jun opened his eyes again and sighed:
"Xiang Zhang, the imperial concubine said she missed you some time ago. Why don't you go and meet the imperial concubine and talk about the relationship between your grandfather and grandson?"

"Your Majesty, the matter of my old age..."

"Now that the court has just ended a period of turmoil, it is not time for Prime Minister Zhang to leave. I still need Prime Minister Zhang to stay for a while. When the cabinet is formed, how about Prime Minister Zhang retires?"

Zhang He lowered his eyelids in disappointment, then raised his hands and said:

"Since Your Majesty needs it, I will continue to use my remaining energy for a while.

Your Majesty, the old minister went to look for Concubine Zhang first. "

"go Go."

Zhao Jun waved his hand and asked Wang Huaien to take Zhang He towards the palace where Zhang Yuyan was.

After Zhang He left, the pavilion fell into silence again.

Smoke rose from four cups of tea, but now one cup has lost its owner.

After a while, Zhang Zheng’s voice sounded:
"Your Majesty, do you really want to let Zhang Xiang leave?"

Zhao Junxian glanced at him and sighed helplessly:
"Xiang Zhang is right, he is indeed old.

Moreover, Zhang Xiang wanted to leave a good reputation, but the Prime Minister was not left in his hands. How could I not satisfy him? "

"But... the fact that the government is so stable now must be attributed to Zhang Xiang!
If Prime Minister Zhang leaves, the court will be in turmoil! "

Zhao Jun glanced at him again and said slowly: "So I need you to work harder."

Zhang Zheng was stunned!
I'll try?
What am I trying for?
Jiang He on the side already understood something, showed a smile, and looked at Zhang Zheng with a smile on his face, who was still ignorant that he was a person in the game.

……

Yaohua Palace.

"Xiang Zhang, please come this way. Your Majesty should be planting flowers in the backyard at this time."

Wang Huaien led Zhang He all the way to Yaohua Palace. After asking the eunuch on duty, he led Zhang He towards the backyard.

As soon as the two of them arrived in the backyard, they saw Zhang Yuyan, who was wearing a long blue dress, hiding in a flower bed on the ground planting a peony. She was talking to the maid next to her from time to time. She was smiling and obviously in a good mood.

When Zhang He saw his granddaughter looking like this, he let go of some of his worries. It seemed that he had made the right choice in sending Yan'er to the palace. At least she could live happily here.

A faint smile appeared on Zhang He's old face.

The arrival of the two people quickly attracted the attention of a group of masters and servants who were planting trees. Zhang Yuyan turned around and saw Wang Huaien bringing an old man here. When she was wondering why he dared to bring a man to her palace, she saw the old man clearly. The moment she became familiar with her face, joy immediately filled her pretty face.

"Grandpa! Why are you here!"

Throwing away the small shovel in her hand, Zhang Yuyan quickly stood up and rushed towards her grandfather!
……

The main hall of Yaohua Palace. "Look at you girl, now that you are an imperial concubine, you are still so reckless. You pounce on grandpa without even wiping your hands. Look at my official robe, it is all covered in mud by you."

Zhang He looked helplessly at the muddy handprints on his official robe. Zhang Yuyan, who was opposite him, stuck out his tongue playfully and said with a quirky look on his face:

"Don't you miss grandpa too much? I didn't notice it for a moment."

Zhang He shook his head helplessly: "You girl, you have been weird since you were a child. I still don't know your evil ideas?"

"hey-hey!"

Zhang Yuyan smiled and then asked: "Grandpa, why do you have time to come to the palace to see me today? Do you miss me?"

As he said that, he winked playfully.

Zhang He rolled his eyes and then explained: "I don't have that much free time. I was just discussing things with the officials in the Imperial Garden. The officials said you missed me, so I asked me to come and see you."

When Zhang Yuyan heard this, she immediately said with an aggrieved face: "Okay, Grandpa, you actually have to ask the official to speak before you can think of your lovely granddaughter. You don't even care about my daughter anymore!"
In your eyes, after your daughter gets married, she belongs to someone else’s family, right? "

"Stop it, stop it!"

Zhang He couldn't bear it, so he quickly raised his hands and surrendered.

"Think about it, how could this old man miss my precious granddaughter? Isn't it time for her to come here as soon as she has the chance?
Grandpa, there's nothing you can do about it. You are an imperial concubine now. How can a man from the previous dynasty come to this harem at will? You don't want grandpa to be thrown out of jail that day for being a filthy harem, right? "

"Giggle...Grandpa, even if you think about it, I'm afraid you're not that capable at your age, right?"

Zhang Yuyan smiled and teased, and Zhang He's face suddenly darkened.

The maids and eunuchs waiting around all hurriedly lowered their heads and snickered.

Zhang He had no choice but to wave his hands, and then said with a serious face: "Okay, I won't talk to you about anything else. Grandpa came today to tell you something."

Seeing her grandfather's face become serious, Zhang Yuyan, who was familiar with his grandfather, immediately knew that his grandfather really had something serious to say, so she hurriedly sat upright and listened.

"Grandpa, tell me."

Zhang He said slowly:
"Grandpa is ready to retire and return to his hometown."

"what?!"

Zhang Yuyan even wondered if she heard wrongly. What did grandpa say just now? !

Resigning from old age and returning home? How can it be?

Zhang He sighed when he saw his appearance.

Then he continued: "I am already seventy this year, and it is time to return to my hometown. Your grandma was buried in my hometown. I have been busy with state affairs my whole life and have never had time to accompany her.

Now that I am getting older, I want to spend the last little time with her. "

"But...but if you leave, what will Yan'er do?

In this huge Bianjing city, Yan'er doesn't have any relatives anymore! "

Zhang Yuyan's tears fell.

Zhang He saw it in his eyes and felt pain in his heart.

He sighed again and said:
"You are now a wife, and the officials treat you very well. Grandpa also knows this.

Grandpa can also rest assured.

You should be more cautious in this palace from now on. This is a deep palace after all, and grandpa can't help you much.

But as long as grandpa is still alive, with grandpa’s influence, no one can bully my granddaughter if she doesn’t cause trouble! "

At this moment, Zhang He finally showed that he was the prime minister who was inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people.

The figure suddenly grew taller.

Zhang Yuyan's eyes were filled with tears, and she nodded slowly: "Yan'er knows, grandpa can rest assured."

"Chier...Chier..."

Zhang He sighed leisurely.
