full of mountains and rivers

Emperor Wei Xian tapped his fingers on the table, the ninety-five supreme beings in the world, there is no one who does not hold the long-cherished wish of unifying the world.

"You mean, you want me to recuperate for three years?"

"Yes. Only when the common people live and work in peace and contentment, have diseases that can be cured, and starve to death, can we fight a war."

Emperor Wei Xian looked at him in surprise, glanced at Lu Jue's article again, and said, "Your opinion coincides with this year's No. [-] scholar. I was thinking... what are you doing?"

Shen Cong suddenly knelt down on the ground, kneeling three times and knocking nine times, which really shocked Emperor Wei Xian. "My lord, there is one more thing. I know that I have committed a felony, but the emperor's kindness is immense. May your majesty allow me to report it."

"You go down first." Wei Xiandi pushed back the people around him, even Qin Ying was driven out, he hurriedly got up to help Shen Cong, but Shen Cong knelt on the ground without moving as if he had given up. "Believe it, although you and I are monarchs and ministers, we also have a fateful friendship..."

"Your Majesty is a king. Back then, I was a commoner, so I deserved to be a general. Thanks to your majesty's benevolence, I was granted the title of general." Shen Cong said, "It's just that what I'm doing now violates the ancestral etiquette. I dare to ask your majesty for leniency."

"As long as it's not collaborating with the enemy and treason, it's nothing to worry about. I believe you have a sense of proportion. You have old wounds on your knees, so get up and speak."

Shen Cong took out the folder that had been hidden for a long time from his bosom, and presented it to Emperor Wei Xian with both hands.

On the booklet, it is recorded in detail, everything about him picking up Lu Jue.

The last line, "I kindly ask you to step down as a general and be demoted to a battalion soldier", is the heart of Shen Cong's letter.

"I don't need this number one scholar, but I can't live without you as a general!" Wei Xiandi closed the folder, threw it on the table, and knocked down a stack of memorials, "If you like him, I will decree to give him to you , who in the world dares to say more?"

"I dare you."

Emperor Wei Xian was furious at Shen Cong's words, pointed at Shen Cong's head "you" for a long time, but did not say a complete sentence, he could only support his head and said: "Before I am mad at you, continue to say .”

"As far as the Great Wei is concerned, Lu Jue is definitely not something in the pool. If he is appointed well, he will surely benefit the people and the Great Wei. However, apart from leading the army to fight, I don't know anything about court affairs. As far as the minister is concerned, I don't want to be a bondage His cage." Shen Cong took out the Shen Family Army Soldier Talisman from his sleeve, and presented it with both hands, "Today, I hand in the Shen Family Army Soldier Talisman, and voluntarily resign from the post of Shen Family Army Commander and General of the Township, and leave it to His Majesty to dispose of."

A trace of grief flashed in Emperor Wei Xian's eyes. With his secret support, Shen Cong cultivated Shen Cong's power directly under the emperor. He was ostracized and opposed by many aristocratic families back then, and Shen Cong resisted all opinions and persisted.

"Shen Cong, the general of the town, received the order. I think you have fought for many years and made great achievements. In this peaceful and prosperous age, he is specially allowed to temporarily resign from his official position and take a rest in Beijing. When troubled times are approaching, it is his duty to return to the court in armor."

"Your Majesty, thank you for your grace." Shen Cong knocked his head heavily on the ground, leaving a smear of bright red on the marble floor in the hall.

Emperor Wei Xian helped Shen Cong up, patted him on the shoulder, failed to speak a few times, finally only turned into a sigh, and waved his hand to signal him to back down.

"Resignation." Shen Cong pushed open the door, the dazzling sunlight made him unable to open his eyes for a moment.

Seeing him coming out, Qin Ying hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "What did you say to the emperor? Are you going to do it again... Did the emperor hit you on the forehead? What on earth..."

"I handed in the soldier talisman, and I plan to take advantage of these two years to rest." Shen Cong stretched his waist after adapting to the light, and walked towards the palace gate with a look of relief. The plan was probably given to you a few days ago. I'm not here, so Shen Jiajun will leave it to you."

"You're not here, why did Shen Jiajun come here?!"

"Well... You can change it to Qin's Army if you want." Shen Cong smiled, his steps were not affected at all.

Qin Ying was extremely angry, and had no mood to joke with him. He chased after him in two steps, grabbed Shen Cong, and asked, "This is the solution you came up with? Resign? Shen Cong, he was dazzled by masculinity." , you are really capable!"

Shen Cong didn't turn back, just left him and continued to walk forward.

"Shen Xinzhi!"

He stopped, looked sideways slightly, and Qin Ying's angle was just right enough to see an unknown smile on his lips.

"Qin Ying, I am also a human being. I have my emotions and desires, and I am also tired. There are some things that you will understand in the future." Shen Cong put his hands behind his back and turned his head, leaving Qin Ying with a complete back view. "Hurry up and cherish the little time you have to take care of me, and you will be out of time if you make an order tomorrow." Shen Cong waved his hand as farewell, and continued to walk towards the palace gate.

Qin Ying was so moved by his previous sentence that he froze in place, temporarily ignoring the weirdness of the second half of the sentence.

"Shen Xinzhi! You are just too lazy to deal with official documents! Just stop!"
