Du Shiyi, the acting governor and deputy envoy of Hedong Jiedu, was promoted to the position of the Central Secretariat.

Du Shiyi, who had just passed the thirty years, suddenly ushered in such an promotion. He could still treat it calmly, but others were different.

After the famous chief minister took office, some people were waiting and watching, but after Du Shiyi took office, he initially made drastic moves and followed up with extremely stable government orders, and did not blindly introduce various new policies that make people maladaptable. Although Daizhou did not promote economic crops such as kapok or tea, Du Shiyi vigorously promoted new agricultural tools and with the help of Tian Mo, he designed the three-in-one weapon of the water wheel. Last year, the weather was good again and the harvest was very good. In addition, Du Shiyi attached great importance to the criminal prison and learned that he was about to leave office, proposals such as erecting monuments became popular again.

The umbrella of the people and the monument of virtue were the most popular in the Ming and Qing dynasties, but in this era, it is common for officials who were in office to erect monuments as a record. However, although Du Shiyi paid great attention to business reputation, he respected this excessive and under-excessive behavior and directly took out the famous prime minister Song Jing, whom he admired as a shield. He insisted that Song Jing was reluctant to erect monuments when he returned to Beijing when he was in office as the governor of Guangzhou. The elders of Daizhou, led by Wen Zhengyi and Pei Mingya, could only give up this idea.

However, when Du Shiyi summoned them for the last time before leaving office and showed high expectations for state schools, they were immediately excited.

"My senior brother has agreed to stay in Daizhou Prefecture for another year. I think the newly appointed state officials are happy to see the more talents under their rule, so they will not go to the state to study. However, Duan Guangzhen, the military envoy of Daizhou, is familiar with the military formation and has outstanding martial arts skills. He is not afraid of being an official. You are local elders, please take care of him." Seeing Wen Zhengyi agreeing with pleasure, Pei Mingya nodded slightly, and was still worried on his face, so he comforted him with warm words, "I have been in Daizhou for more than two years. To be honest, I have too little time and have not benefited much from the people, so I insisted on not erecting the monument..."

Before he finished speaking, Wen Zhengyi suddenly stood up and said, "Where is the envoy? Daizhou has changed its official position after official position, but no one has seen through the biggest weakness of Daizhou in many years like an envoy. The fact that Daizhou affairs and the rule of others really make us Daizhou feel excited. Although the envoy does not agree to erect a monument, the envoy's words and deeds over the past two years have been like a monument, and they are standing in the hearts of the officials, the people of Daizhou."

Since Pei Mingya has been in charge of the Daizhou Pei family, she has been both humble and arrogant towards the Hedong Sect Hall, and has taken various measures such as persuading students to study and advance, punishing bad things, etc. As for the former vassal sect, Yuruo Village, who was sent by the former vassal sect, she was either expelled or severely punished. For more than two years, the Pei family in Daizhou, which had always been loose, was twisted into a rope. Looking back at the setbacks in his career that year, he had a different feeling. At this moment, he also stood up with Wen Zhengyi and solemnly bowed to Du Shiyi.

"The envoy is the great blessing of the people of Yanmen. Now the envoy returns to the court, but he does not allow the monument to be erected and does not accept Cheng Yi. After discussing with Mr. Wen, I finally decided to set up a practice banquet in Daizhou Prefecture. Please do not refuse.

Hearing this, Du Shiyi finally smiled: "Okay, I'm not that pretentious, I must go to the banquet."

Before Pei Mingya and Wen Zhengyi bid farewell, Du Shiyi gave them another promise. If there were scholars from Daizhou who were unwilling to ask for the posts to be sent to the state, but planned to try Jingzhao Prefecture, they could submit a post at the two Jingshuo Mansions. If they were really talented and knowledgeable, he would definitely recommend it. Such a promise was extraordinary for the two people who had extremely deep local feelings. They were all happy when they left. So Zhang Xing, who was sending the two men to the door on their behalf, couldn't help but ask Wen Zhengyi, "Brother Wen, you are so smiling that the corners of your mouth are about to get to the bottom of your ears. What did the envoy agree to you again?"

"You kid, you can't spit out ivory from your mouth." Wen Zhengyi smiled and scolded. After explaining the whole story, his smile closed again, "X-jun, do you really want to abandon the position of Hedong Jiedu Secretary and follow Du Envoy to Beijing? You know, you have the title of proofreader, even if you stay in Daizhou..."

"Brother Wen, how could I not know? In fact, the envoy also mentioned that if I planned to stay, he would recommend me to Song Gong, the Yin of Taiyuan and the governor of Hedong, to let me serve under Song Gong. However, Brother Wen should be very clear that Song Gong and I have never met each other. Even if I use me for one word, how much trust can I have and how many guests can get along with each other? As for staying in Daizhou, I am a cold-sweet and the new envoy takes office, how can I tolerate the old people from my ex to take charge of important positions everywhere? It would be fine if Duan Guang is really a military general, but the chief secretary is an important position in the shogunate, and only by using his own people can he be more at ease."

Hearing Zhang Xing say this in one breath, Wen Zhengyi knew that his friend forgotten has already thought through it very clearly. He nodded, then smiled and said, "Well, you are just thirty now, and Du Jun is a person who uses talents in an unconventional manner. You should have another chance to go to Beijing with him. But..."

He patted Zhang Xing's arm meaningfully and said with a smile: "But although Du Jun got married late, he already had a son, but you didn't even marry a wife. I will ask Du Jun to choose a virtuous wife for you."

Zhang Xing immediately became embarrassed: "Brother Wen, stop teasing me, let's talk about it if you are destined, let's talk about it if you are destined..."

Not only were all local elders present at this banquet, but many traveling scholars who visited Daizhou because of the famous scholars in Yanmen gathering. As for Li Bai and Meng Haoran, Du Shiyi had said that he had agreed with the three of them first. It would be fine if the next president of the Governor Shi Lixian was the one who could not stay there. If the three of them went to Yunzhou to visit and give lectures for a while, and then came to the two capitals to find him, he would definitely welcome him. Therefore, more than one or two people were drunk that night, and even Du Shiyi himself was drunk and was carried back to the official party behind the Governor's Office.

But while enjoying himself, Du Shiyi was not without worries. This time the order was not the same. Wang Rongzheng was pregnant and might have a child within one month. Then because the child was too young, he could not go on the road immediately. Therefore, Du Shiyi could only urgently order someone to seek help from Du Shisanniang and Princess Gu'an in Yunzhou, and agreed to let Wang Rong stay in Yunzhou for a while. After all, although Wen Zhengyi and Pei Mingya and other Daizhou elders were willing to take care of their wives, no sister and sister could make Wang Rong feel more at ease. As for the eldest son Du Guangyuan, after thinking about it for a while, Du Shiyi had to stay with his wife.

After completing the handover with the new acting governor, Du Shiyi brought more than ten guards including Chi Bi to the return journey back to Luoyang with Zhang Xing and Wu Tianqi. In addition to the two Wenpos who were specially invited to Yunzhou, he also had Bailang's younger brother Ah Liu. After much consideration, he still felt that Yunzhou, far away in the border, was more suitable for resettlement than the two capitals, who had suffered severe damage and became a little demented. As for Bailang, he was among the same group as Li Wei returned to Beijing in the day he returned to Beijing with triumphant success.

From Daizhou to Luoyang where Zi is today, it is 1,223 miles. There is no need to rush on the road. It takes only half a month to travel 80 to 100 miles a day. The last time he returned to Chang'an before Yuwen Rong stopped seeing him, but Luoyang has been away for many years. He deliberately walked around Luoyang and sat around him, the most spectacular Dingding Gate, facing north and south. Then he said to Zhang Xing beside him: "It's the first time that Qijun is seeing the atmosphere of Dongdu, what do you think?"

Zhang Xing grew up so old, this is the first time he has arrived at Luoyang, the eastern capital of the Tang Dynasty. He had just passed through Luoshui from the north and then arrived at Dingding Gate. He was amazed at the tall and solemn city walls. He saw many people queuing in the doorways, including many of them with high noses and deep-necked Hu people. He felt his eyes were even more blurred. He heard Du Shiyi's question, and he couldn't help but sigh: "No wonder people say that if they are less than two capitals, they are a Tang people.

As soon as these words came out, Chibi and other followers who had originally come from the Eastern Capital suddenly burst into laughter.

Chibi said after laughing: "Langjun Zhang, if he had the chance to enter the palace, he would only know what it means to be amazed. Luoyang Palace was repeatedly repaired when the Queen of Heaven was alive, and it was not inferior to Xingqing Palace in Chang'an. The southern city of Luoyang is definitely not inferior to the east and west cities of Chang'an. Once you enter Dingding Gate, it is Tianjie, and the Zhuquemen Street in Chang'an is not more spacious than Tianjie."

Everyone had experienced the city while joking. Sure enough, after passing the long Dingding Gate, the darkness in front of them was swept away, replaced by the sky street of the things that were dozens of steps wide, with willows on both sides. However, the tall palace vaguely visible in the distance certainly made people fascinated, but now it is already summer. The shade of the willow trees on both sides can only cover a little bit. The feeling of being exposed to the sun in the sun made Zhang Xing no longer have the intention to appreciate the scenery of the Dongdu again. If the two capitals had not been able to rush to the horse, the group would have wished to rush to the horse. When they arrived at Du Shiyi's private house in Guandefang, Wu Jiu, who had already been cleaned up inside and outside the house, would have welcomed him.

This mansion was when Du Shiyi was promoted from Wannianwei to Zuoshiyi, Wang Rong instructed him to rent it from Liu Jiaodong, Qianbao Pavilion. However, he had enough money later, so he bought it. On weekdays, he only had a few servants to be responsible for daily management such as cleaning and repair. Now, because he returned to the court to be promoted to the Secretariat of the Central Secretariat, Wu Jiu had prepared a call early. He threw all the things he had to place others to his son Wu Tianqi. When he accompanied Du Shiyi to the deepest bedroom, he did not call him maid. After Du Shiyi sat down, he knelt down next to him and whispered a word.

"The Lord, Prime Minister Song, the Duke of Guangping County, wrote a letter a few days ago to seek resignation because of illness and old age. Your Majesty has agreed."
