Hold your pen, dip it ink, and sign your name at the end of the document;

Put the pen, then take the official seal beside it, put it right next to the signature, press it hard, and when it is lifted again, the governor's seal is already upright and clearly covered there.

Wen Ming's eyes stayed on the document for a while, and he couldn't help but feel a little reluctant and a little unwilling to do so. But in the end, he slowly closed the document and handed it to his subordinates on the side, then got up, stepped out and walked out.

"Sir..." The row of officials standing in front of him shouted as he walked forward, all of whom were reluctant to leave, but they could not say a word of retention - because they knew that it was useless to say it. This was the court's intention and the will of His Majesty.

Wen Ming stopped, with a smile on his face, then suddenly bent down and bowed, and gave a deep bow: "Everyone, Wen Ming thanks you for helping me with many official duties this year, and even when the chaos arose in Jiangnan, he was willing to obey my orders and endure some of my arbitrary actions. If there were any offense in the past, I hope you all will forgive me."

"Sir..." The officials in the governor's yamen were moved again, and they knelt down, "Sir, are you really leaving? You are reluctant to leave your job, and the people of Jiangnan cannot live without you..."

"Haha, there will be a banquet that will last forever. At least now, I will leave a peaceful and prosperous Jiangnan. You don't have to do this. I believe that the court will soon send a capable and capable official to take over the position of governor of Jiangnan. In the future, you will also assist your superiors as before and do more practical things for the people of Jiangnan. This will not be in vain for me to work with you."

While speaking, Wen Ming came to several subordinate officials, bent down and helped them up one by one: "Okay, they are all local officials. Don't be so sensible. Let the people below see it. It will damage your authority. I have stayed here for two more days. If I don't leave, I'm afraid I will be blamed by the court again. You don't want to harm me with this, right?"

When everyone heard this, they all bowed: "The officials dare not dare to do so, so they have no such thoughts."

"That's good. Although I am no longer the Shangguan you wait for, everyone is in court, and maybe when will they be the officials of the yamen be the officials, so it is not a perfect answer, so why bother to be sad?" As he said that, Wen Ming no longer paid attention to the nostalgic gaze of everyone, waved his hand slightly, and walked forward step by step, as if he really had no nostalgia for the position of governor of Jiangnan.

However, there was a little light flashing in his eyes, but he tried his best to hide it. After being an official for many years, other abilities may not be enough, but this cunning and cultivation, the ability to not show your emotions is still enough.

After leaving the second hall of the yamen, there were two carriages and five or six servants waiting in front. Seeing their master come out, they all opened their mouths and wanted to say something, but they couldn't say it in the end. They mentioned what they should say in private, but instead received the master's reprimand, so it's better not to say anything at this time.

"Master, get in the car and set off." The leader said as he spoke, and helped Wen Ming, who was obviously staggering. This time, Wen Ming did not push him away as before, but was helped by him as he had helped him get on the car and shouted: "Let's go!" The carriage drove slowly and headed towards the open door in front. The gate of the governor's yamen was naturally not open at ordinary times. Only when the imperial officials in the capital arrived would open the middle door to welcome him. But today, these two middle doors were opened early, and the high threshold was moved aside so that the carriage could pass smoothly.

When the carriage came, the soldiers guarding both sides bowed one after another: "Sir, it's a good time."

Wen Ming in the car had no reaction. After getting into the car, he could no longer restrain his shocking mind, and two lines of turbid tears rolled down.

After all, I failed to achieve my ambition...

I think of him Wen Ming, who passed the imperial examination at the age of 27 and passed the imperial examination at the age of 31, has been a Jinshi in high school for twenty years. He has made achievements in the officialdom for the past twenty years, and has also been entrusted with the lofty ideal of making decisions for the people and seeking benefits for the country.

He thought he had been diligent since he was an official and never dared to relax at all. He did his best to do every job, whether he was working in a local area or working in Beijing. Therefore, with almost no backing, he overcomes all obstacles throughout the past twenty years and reaches a high position as governor of Jiangnan.

I thought he could show his strengths at such a high position and fulfill his wishes, so that Yu Yu would clarify the world of Dayue, which has gradually fallen into decline. For this reason, he did not hesitate to sleep at night, nor was he afraid of offending many colleagues in the officialdom and many forces outside the officialdom.

I thought that even if there was some resistance, I could think of the court with facts and prove to Your Majesty that the reorganization of the civil book and the land would bring a lot of financial and taxation to the Dayue court. In this way, this might be promoted nationwide. By then, Dayue would inevitably reach its peak again, and it would not be an empty talk to the Han and Tang dynasties.

But in the end, what I thought was just empty talk. In just a few months, my year of hard work and years of expectations were all broken. Not only did I achieve the plan to rebuild the civil book before it was completed, but my position as governor was deprived. I am afraid that my future would be worrying when I went to the capital.

He was not sad about his future, but because his ambitions were hard to fulfill, he felt unwilling to accept it.

"Die before the ambition is fulfilled, and the heroes are filled with tears... Du Gong's sigh to Zhuge Wuhou, and today I realize how sad it is..." A sigh was murmuring, a bitter smile climbed up to Wen Ming's mouth, and finally breathed a long sigh.

It was not until this time that he pulled out his mind a little from his thoughts, and then he heard the noisy movement outside the car. He thought it was because the car was walking on the street market and pedestrians came and went. But then, he heard some voices clearly: "Sir, you have to take good care of yourself when you go to the capital..."

"Sir, we have no way to repay you. We can only pray for you at home, and we just hope that the Bodhisattva can bless you."

"Sir, let's go all the way..."

These movements are actually saying goodbye to myself!

When Wen Ming slightly lifted a corner of the car curtain and looked out, he saw countless people standing outside the car window, waving goodbye to him with reluctance. Some people were watching the car come and even knelt on the ground, kowtowing his head, expressing their respect for him.

This action made Wen Ming stunned again, and suddenly a thought arose - justice is in the hearts of the people.

Yes, justice is in the hearts of the people!

Although the court stopped its ambitions and although the gentry and powerful families regarded themselves as beasts and wished they could be defeated immediately, the people were not influenced by them because of this. They were still grateful for some of their achievements and knew what kind of official they were.

So, I am not actually a failure. At least the people in Jiangnan and Jinling are grateful to me and are willing to come to see you off today. Why should I be so sad? If I fail, there will always be latecomers. There may be fewer others in my country, but there will be no less loyal and dare to do it!

So what if I fail? One day, someone will follow the direction I pointed out, and let the world be bright and clear, so that those worms know what the right way is in the world!

At this moment, although the tears were still there, Wen Ming's eyes lit up. Then, the corners of his mouth were raised again, and a smile had completely bloomed. It was no longer a forced smile, no longer a bitter smile, but a smile that emerged from the heart because of joy and hope.

However, Wen Ming did not show up in the end and said something to the people of Jinling. Let the later generations help him talk about what he does in the future and do it.

It was not until the carriage passed through the long city gate hole and officially left Jinling, away from the people who kept following but finally stopped, Wen Ming stuck his head out of the car window and looked at the gradually distant Jinling City. At this glance, he seemed to be trying to imprint everything here into his mind.

Once you go, the mountains are high and the waters are far away, and there is no more time to come again!

The horse could not understand people's minds, so his steps forward were still firm. Soon, the tall city gate had become narrow. After running along the official road for a while, Wen Ming turned around and looked back, he could not even see the city, leaving only a sigh.

...

After hearing that the governor had left for more than an hour, several fast horses rushed from the official road and rushed straight into the city of Jinling. Because the leader was wearing a green official uniform, even though he rode his horse, the guards at the city gate did not dare to stop him, and let them rush past and headed straight to the governor's yamen.

When Li Ling, who had stopped horses, learned from the depressed guard in front of the governor's yamen that Wen Ming had stepped out of the city one earlier, he sighed again: "It's still one step late..." Although he had already rushed as soon as possible in the past three days, he still had to be slower than the other party's speed.

However, he was not upset for too long. He immediately tweaked his horse's head and asked, "Where did the Governor Wen leave the city?" After getting the other party's answer, he stopped talking and whipped the horse's buttocks again, urging the horse under his crotch to run at full speed again, running towards the city gate on the other side like a sharp arrow.

Li Moyun and others who followed him did not dare to neglect them. They quickly shouted and drove their horses to chase them. Five horses galloped in Jinling City again.

Fortunately, everyone was unable to raise any interest today because of the departure of the governor, so this fierce rush did not cause much trouble to the people in the city. However, when Li Ling and his party left in a hurry, many people who didn't know the truth began to discuss and guess their identity and purpose.
