Thinking of this, the Prime Minister couldn't help but sigh in his heart. It doesn't matter, it's time, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, this warrior is the only one to see him off during this thousand-mile journey.

It doesn't matter whether he is here to laugh at or out of sympathy.

The Prime Minister stepped off his horse.

He stretched out his hands to help Zhao Yuan, who was bowing, and joked to himself, "How can I, a commoner now, receive such a great gift from the Duke of the country?"

The prime minister stretched out his hand to help him, and Zhao Yuan stood up accordingly.

Officialdom is ups and downs, some win and others lose. He just recognized the other party's contribution to the people over the years, which does not mean that he owes the other party, so the other party helped him and he immediately stood up.

Then he smiled and asked the other party, "Prime Minister, would you like to talk about the tower?"

The Prime Minister stretched out his hand and said, "Master, please!"

"please!"

The two of them went up to the tower side by side. Standing on the tower, they could overlook the scene in the city.

Looking at the bustling scene below the city tower, Zhao Yuan said sincerely, "All this is due to the Prime Minister."

When he was in power, he didn't talk about his achievements, and they all left. Besides, it was really unnecessary to talk about these things, so the prime minister smiled and shook his head, "If the Duke hadn't guarded the border all these years, how could there be such a harmonious scene?" He waved his hand, "I really can't talk about merit."

Zhao Yuan said, "Prime Minister, you are too modest."

The two looked at each other and then laughed out loud.

After a moment, the Prime Minister raised his hand and patted Zhao Yuan's arm, and sincerely praised him, "I have given birth to a good son."

Zhao Yuan could only bow down and bow his hands in humility, "Prime Minister, this is too much praise."

Then, Zhao Yuan raised his hand to Mo Qi, who was standing not far away, and Mo Qi came forward with a food box.

The food box was opened, and inside was a jug of wine and two wine glasses.

Zhao Yuan poured the wine himself, and then handed the glass to the Prime Minister with his own hands, with a look of respect from a junior: "Prime Minister, I would like to give you a final toast to the Prime Minister."

He called himself a junior, and did not mention his official title, nor did he mention his title. He only said that he was a junior, which showed that no matter how the two of them fought in the officialdom, and they finally broke up, he came to see each other off, and it was all out of sincerity.

The Prime Minister also raised his glass and said with a smile: "Okay!"

"Master Guo, we... are destined to meet again."

"See you soon."

After finishing the farewell drink, the two went down to the tower side by side.

Under the city tower, there were already more than a dozen people standing next to the carriage of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

The Prime Minister is familiar with these people, and Zhao Yuan is even more familiar with them, because they are all his childhood friends, friends, and children of aristocratic families.

These people were led by Wu'anhou and Changbohou. They were smiling and did not stand there.

When they saw the prime minister coming down from the tower, they all had their bodies tied up.

Then they all bowed and saluted with respectful expressions, "I'm here to see off the Prime Minister. I hope that the Prime Minister will sail as far as the Yangtze River and the sun will set over the lakes in spring."

"Prime Minister, take this very seriously."

The Prime Minister couldn't bear it any longer, and the corners of his eyes were wet with moisture. He also bowed and handed over his hands, "I wish you all the best for your hard work."

"Everyone, let's meet again if we are destined."

"Prime Minister, see you later." Everyone spoke together again.

After the Prime Minister finished speaking, he turned around and got into the carriage without stopping. After getting on the carriage, tears were already covering his face with ravines. When the carriage left the city, the Prime Minister burst into tears.

He hated that Zhao Yuan, a warrior, used tricks on him before leaving.

If he quits lonely, then...

What happens next?

I will feel depressed and sluggish, and I'm afraid I won't be able to survive for long.

Today's farewell from Zhao Yuan and others made him feel relieved. He had been an official for decades. Although his final exit was not honorable, at least someone recognized him, right?

Thinking of this, the aged prime minister cried even harder.

He had to admit that Zhao Yuan was actually more scheming than him.

Even if he is more than twenty years older than Zhao Yuankong, he cannot compare.

He lost, but he admitted defeat.

The tearful Prime Minister did not care about his dignity, and finally stuck his head out of the carriage window to look at the figures inside the city gate. Those children of aristocratic families were all romantic, and some were dandy, which the Prime Minister could never see in the past. He thought that these people had only a few real abilities. They all relied on the influence of their ancestors to easily achieve results that only a poor student could achieve after ten years of hard work, so he disdained to associate with these people. But he never thought that it was these people who came to see him off for the last time.

As for the poor students he once promoted, no one dares to give them away for fear of being implicated.

The Prime Minister shed tears, sighed, and shook his head, but he also understood.

Zhao Yuan and other children from aristocratic families are intertwined. You are implicated in me, and I am implicated in you. They may not be too worried about their future, but those students from poor families, who have had an official career for ten years, cannot tolerate making mistakes.

The prime minister left, and the capital seemed to fall silent all of a sudden.

Maybe it’s because it’s the end of July and the weather is getting cooler.

However, good news came frequently from the Yangtze River Basin. The fifth prince went to deal with the floods and handled them very well.

Although it had only been a month since the Fifth Prince arrived there, the flood had already been well controlled.

After that, we started to revitalize the disaster area and deal with the affected people.

The note written by the fifth prince to the emperor stated that he would completely handle the affairs of the Yangtze River Basin in October at the latest and then return to Beijing.

When the emperor saw the fifth prince's performance, he said three good words in succession, expressing his approval for the fifth prince.

Because the floods have been managed well, and the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, people in the refugee camps have begun to return.

Everything is starting to look good.

The bad thing is that Tuobayan and his party were not caught in the end, and they fled back.

Lu Qimo, the governor of Liangjiang, was also convicted on the eve of the Mid-Autumn Festival and will be executed next autumn.

Also implicated were more than a dozen local officials in the Yangtze River Basin.

With all the blame removed, the floods in the Yangtze River Basin are coming to an end.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, Zhao Lin has been more than seven months old and already has two small front teeth. Every time he grins, his two small front teeth are exposed. Not to mention how cute he is.

Jiang Fu especially liked to make him laugh.

Because when he smiled, his front teeth were exposed like a bunny.

Not only does he laugh, he also crawls very fast.

Now there is no need for Jiang Fu to go to his room to hug him.

If the wet nurse puts him on the floor to play, he will crawl out of the house and crawl to the master bedroom if someone is not paying attention.

It frightened several wet nurses, as well as the maids and nannies who were looking after him. No one dared to lose consciousness easily when looking after him.

Therefore, Mrs. Chen was very angry when he escaped last time. The nanny was hired and was not easy to beat, but she also scolded him severely and deducted some monthly silver.

The maid, the nanny, not only received the money, but also received the beating.

Even though I only hit the board twice.

But no one wants to suffer!

Then the maid and nanny were replaced.

The maid currently taking care of her, Nanny, is a new one.

The newly sent nanny has a tough temper and is very strict with the management of the house. None of the nannies or nannies who take care of her dare to be lazy or slip up.

Jiang Fu didn't have any opinion on this matter. She was in favor of the child crawling on the ground, but she couldn't accept it. When the child crawled out, the caregiver hurriedly found it.

This time I just crawled out, what if I don’t pay attention next time?
