Zhu Houzhao wanted to protect Tang Yin, but his attitude towards this matter was not so firm, and he forgot about it in a blink of an eye after he said it.

The court's opposition to Tang Yin was too strong. After the Shangyuan Festival, the court's rest period ended, and the court began the next round of impeachment of Tang Yin. Zhu Houzhao was untiring about this.

Zhang Yong had just taken office as the chief of the Sili Supervisor. Although he had a certain "friendship" with Tang Yin, he wanted to win the hearts of the people. This time he had the opportunity to get the support of many powerful people in the court, so he secretly helped impeach Tang Yin. With his support, Zhu Houzhao would learn about the chaos in the court every time he inquire about the affairs of the court.

On the 19th day of the first lunar month, Zhu Houzhao issued an imperial edict, and Tang Yin resigned as the left minister of the Ministry of War in Nanjing and changed to a "suspended edict", which was equivalent to being ordered by the emperor to resign.

"It's really awesome."

Zhang Yong made this comment when he met with a noble representative from the capital.

The gifts sent by the nobleman to Zhang Yong were very generous. After Zhang Yong accepted them, he made another move to win people's hearts. In short, he tried his best to make himself look at the overall situation.

He sent the person away with his front foot, and then came to the door with a small twist.

Zhang Yong asked with a smile: "Is there anything wrong with my father-in-law?"

Xiao Zhuozi looked cold: "Don't think that no one knows your actions. Your Majesty ordered you to send someone to escort Lord Tang back to Beijing."

Zhang Yong was a little surprised: "Why did you escort Tang Bohu back to Beijing? Didn't he resign as the Minister of the Ministry of War in Nanjing?"

Xiao Guozi said angrily: "This is what Your Majesty gave himself, and he asked to ensure the safety of Lord Tang. Do you want to do it if you like it... Or we go to find Li Xing, anyway, he has someone on his hands."

"Where is Qianning?"

Zhang Yong asked with a dark face.

Xiao Tiaozi turned around and left, saying, "What others are doing now, you may not need to tell Eunuch Zhang clearly. You should first think about how to safely escort Lord Tang back. If something happens to Lord Tang, Your Majesty will definitely peel you off!"

...

...

Tang Yin suffered the biggest blow since he entered the officialdom.

After learning that he was ordered to retire, his loss was indescribable.

Originally ambitious and prepared to do a big fight, but was suddenly hit by reality. Life could not find its direction for a while, and he was in a daze. He had to go to the Ministry of War early the next morning. Before leaving, Tang Yin realized that he would never have to go to the yamen again.

"Sir, my wife has been waiting in the house for a long time. If you have nothing to do, go home as soon as possible."

The servants of the Tang family came over to salute respectfully, with a look of worry on their faces... Originally, he felt that his future was bright and he was a job as a job. Unexpectedly, his master encountered an unpredictable disaster and his future was uncertain, and he was also suffering.

Tang Yin said: "Go back and tell your wife, I have no shame to go home, sir."

The servant cried and said, "The Ministry of War came and said that it would send officers and soldiers to escort the adults back to Beijing. This was his personal instructions... Dongchang and Jinyiwei would also send people to protect the adults' safety."

Tang Yin waved his hand angrily: "What kind of capital is going to? Haven't you lost your face enough? Master, I just want to live a few days of quiet life... By the way, has someone been sent to the east?"

At first, Tang Yin was not very energetic, and when he mentioned the "East side", his eyes became more eager.

The servant was stunned for a while before asking, "East? Who are the lords talking about?"

"Forget it, it's already here, who can care about whom? It's better not to come, it's all my own fault. If I don't enter that memorial, even if I am a monk and hit the bell for a day, I will never be like this." Tang Yin said disheartenedly.

When the servant saw that Tang Yin was in a bad mood, he quickly bowed and said he would leave.

...

...

Tang Yin did not leave to the capital immediately. For him, he just wanted to be quiet for a few days and relieve his mood.

He now needs help urgently, not only does he feel that Chen Xi cannot sit idly by, but also thinks that Chen Xi may choose to watch the fire from the other side of the river... Because he doesn't know what Chen Xi's attitude towards this matter, he doesn't think about food and food.

Until the end of the first lunar month, people sent by Zhang Yong repeatedly urged him, but Tang Yin still had no intention of going on the road.

I really couldn't wait anymore, so Tang Yin planned to go to Xincheng to visit Chenxi in person. Before leaving, he happened to meet Chenxi and sent someone to deliver the letter. Tang Yin was quite looking forward to it.

But when he read the content of the letter and found that Chen Xi had no intention of helping him, and even vaguely criticized him for being too radical, Tang Yin could not accept it, and after reading the letter, he threw it on the table, becoming more and more upset.

"Sir, if you don't leave, the government will come to collect the house... You can't put so many things on the street, right? Should you go to the capital or to the new city and make a decision as soon as possible? The wife later urged her several times."

Although the servant felt uncomfortable in the face of Tang Yin's depressedness, he still tried his best to persuade him.

Tang Yin waved his hand: "Forget it, let's go back to our hometown and live a few good days."

The servant asked, "Which hometown?"

Tang Yin said angrily: "Master, can I have another hometown? I can't stay in Nanjing, so can I go back to Suzhou? Master, I have also saved some money over the years, went back to buy land to build a garden, and built a peach blossom wall... Taohua Temple in Taohua Temple, Peach Blossom Fairy in Taohua Temple. Peach Blossom Fairy planted peach trees, and picked peach blossoms to exchange for wine money... Shen Zhihou's poem deeply attracted my heart... Others laughed at me for being too crazy, I laughed at others not seeing through it. I didn't see the tombs of heroes in Wuling, and made fields without flowers or wine... Haha..."

After saying that, Tang Yin burst into laughter.

The servant was panicked and did not dare to ask again, so he quickly went back to the backyard to report, asking his wife to pack her bags and prepare to return to Suzhou.

...

...

Tang Yin was packing his luggage here, and people came to visit him one after another.

Although Tang Yin offended many people in the court, he also won the hearts of the people, especially those depressed officials and generals, who highly praised the reform measures implemented by Tang Yin.

They felt that Tang Yin spoke on their behalf and was punished for the powerful and powerful. They wanted to find an opportunity to express their support for Tang Yin.

At this time, Tang Yin didn't want to see anyone. Although he knew that he was a little popular, he also knew that these middle and lower-level officials and generals could not help him at all, and he was determined to go back to his hometown to live a life of peace and stability.

"In the past few years, I still have a thousand and eight hundred silver in my hand. When I go back, I will build a garden. When the Taohuawu is built, I will drink and drink various peach blossoms in it, find some old friends to recite poems and write pairs, enjoy the scenery and paint every day, and write a few poems to entertain myself. Isn't this kind of life what I have always pursued?"

Tang Yin felt that he was going to return to the countryside. Although his "dream" for many years was realized, his loss was hard to describe. Having been an official, savoring the taste of power, and letting him go is a test of others' human nature.

Tang Yin decided to leave Nanjing on the fourth day of the second month. He did not read the almanac and found a day to leave the city.

He thought that as a down-and-out official, he would be in disgrace when he left. After all, there were too many people who were guilty and even tried to keep a low profile to ensure the safety of himself and his family. He was afraid that those powerful people would settle their accounts in the future.

As a result, when he left the city, he did not encounter any vicious incidents such as "assassination". Instead, a large number of officials and the people came to see him off spontaneously.

Tang Yin had no idea that he had accumulated a lot of connections in the past few years as an official. From his follower of Chen Xi to Fujian and Guangdong to the rank of the grassland, and later as a county magistrate, he became an official from Beijing to the Minister of War of Nanjing. He was ordered by the emperor to carry out reforms and rectify the administration of officials. His name was known to the world. In addition, he was originally a "star figure" and was the pride of Nanzhili. His departure can be said to be the biggest news in Nanjing at present.

Tang Yin didn't even know how the news of his departure from the city was leaked. When he saw the ten-mile long street crowded with people and officials came up to greet him with tears from time to time, he felt flattered.

"Mr. Tang, Master Qingtian... In the past two years you have been in Nanjing, no one dares to do evil. We ordinary people have finally lived a good life."

At this time, there are always people who come out to sensation. The words of Mr. Su recommended by the people made Tang Yin’s nose sour.

"Mr. Tang, please stay here. Nanjing cannot be without you."

When Tang Yin heard these words that were usually just a compliment and never took them to heart, he burst into tears and felt that his efforts had finally been rewarded. The people's voices were the greatest affirmation of his official career in recent years.

The people on both sides of the street knelt down one after another, spreading towards the city gate like waves, and the sounds left by Tang Yin were heard one after another.

The scene was very touching. Tang Yin couldn't bear to leave just like this, so he waved his hand and said, "My fellow villagers, it's not that I want to leave, but the current situation is not to be kept. I just want to return home and spend a few days of quiet life... New officials will take office later. Leader, you live a good life! Please get out of the way."

"Sir Tang, don't leave..."

"The court must leave behind a good official like Lord Tang, who is honest and upright..."

Tang Yin burst into tears on the spot, but in the end he gritted his teeth and got on the carriage. There were endless people who kept him along the way. It was not easy for the carriage to move forward, but in the end he left Nanjing City surrounded by the people.

Although the East Factory and the Jinyiwei insisted on escorting their homes, Tang Yin chose to refuse, and the carriage headed eastward, with tears behind him.

...

...

The sensation caused by Tang Yin when he left Nanjing moved Nanzhili and even the entire Ming Dynasty officialdom and was amazed.

As one of the most popular celebrity officials in the Ming Dynasty, Tang Yin's every move became a topic of conversation for people after dinner, and his dismissal this time also made the people sigh.

The scene that Tang Yin left Nanjing was reported to the court by the censor. Liang Chu, Jin Gui and others did not dare to stop it and reported the matter to the emperor.

Zhu Houzhao had already regretted dismissing Tang Yin. He heard that Tang Yin refused to go to the capital to wait for recruitment, and was also persuaded by 100,000 people when he left Nanjing, and he felt even more upset.

"... Whether he is a good official, the people's reaction is the most sincere. Although Tang Yin has been in the court for a few years, he has done a lot of practical things. The people are not fools and will not be deceived by lies. Instead, I have let him down!"

After watching the memorial, Zhu Houbao said with emotion.

Zhang Yong felt uncomfortable. In this matter, he stood opposite Tang Yin, so he naturally would not speak for the other party, saying, "Your Majesty, Tang Yin was dismissed because he did something wrong..."

Zhu Houzhao gave him a blank look, "The so-called mistake depends on what position he is standing on. His mistake is offending the powerful and powerful. It is enough for the people to know his goodness! Don't he like to live a quiet life? I want to fulfill him and not hurt the hearts of loyal ministers and righteous men. I will choose a big garden in his hometown to give him, and give him dozens of slaves..."

Zhang Yonglao honestly recorded Zhu Houzhao's oral orders and sent them to Jiangnan in the form of an imperial edict.

Tang Yin doesn't have to go back to the capital.

Staying in Jiangnan to assist Chen Xi in preparing for the expedition to Folangji and its overseas territories, the salary was paid, and the land, houses and slaves were rewarded, which was very meaningful to let Tang Yin live happily in Jiangnan for a long time.

It was just that he had no official position. Tang Yin stayed in the court simply as Chen Xi's attack, which made him mind the most. However, Tang Yin had no choice, because the emperor did not ask him to do anything, and assisting Chen Xi was just a cover. He would not come forward to ask him to do whatever he liked in Suzhou.

When Zhang Yong went back to discuss the situation with his subordinates, he scolded several staff members who had the idea in anger.

Li Xing happened to come to him to do something, and when Zhang Yong lost his temper, he was a little surprised.

"Why is Eunuch Zhang so angry? Tang Bohu was just rewarded by His Majesty with some inconspicuous things." Li Xing smiled and comforted.

Zhang Yong said angrily: "What do you know? As long as your Majesty appreciates it, Tang Bohu can come back at any time. His status in the court will be extraordinary in the future. Have you forgotten the lesson that Jiang Bin covered the sky with his hands?"

In the past, the eunuchs in charge of the seals of the emperor were considered absolute confidants, but Zhu Houzhao did not follow the ordinary path and insisted on cultivating some favorite ministers who were not eunuchs themselves but often went to and from the forbidden palaces.

Li Xing smiled and said, "Tang Bohu is not Jiang Bin. Even if it is Jiang Bin, don't you see what the outcome is now?"

"What's the end?" Zhang Yong asked glaring at Li Xing.

Li Xing knew that Zhang Yong was taking his anger on him, so he didn't explain much, saying, "I heard about something. Lord Shen secretly wrote a secret letter to His Majesty, mentioning Tang Bohu... This time Tang Bohu was treated preferentially, and it was probably because Lord Shen did it."
