Chapter 423 Ming Chongyan's Farewell

Since moving the capital to Luoyang, Ming Chongyan has suddenly become low-key. Only when Li Zhi was alive, he would occasionally get sick, so Ming Chongyan would come to the palace to treat him. Later, Li Zhi was seriously ill, and Ming Chongyan was helpless. Since then, Ming Chongyan has rarely appeared in front of others.

It’s not that Chongyan fell out of favor because of this. In fact, even when Li Zhi was seriously ill, he still valued Ming Chongyan very much. After Li Hong ascended the throne, he only took away Ming Chongyan’s power to participate in political affairs and did not remove him from his official position as a counselor.

But even so, Ming Chongyan seemed to disappear in front of people all of a sudden, especially Wu Meiniang was placed under house arrest in the palace, and people outside could not contact her, which made Ming Chongyan lose any sense of existence, but he did not expect that he would suddenly visit him.

Thinking of the above, Zhang Zong couldn't help but be curious, so he stepped into the front hall. Sure enough, he saw Ming Chongyan sitting there drinking tea. When the other party saw him, he stood up and smiled and said, "I haven't seen you for many days, Brother Zhang is fine!"

"Brother Ming is a rare guest. Why did you come here if you have time today?" Zhang Zong immediately smiled and said. He had asked the manager just now. Ming Chongyan had been here for a long time. If anyone else had left, he patiently waited for Zhang Zong to come back. Obviously, there was something to say.

Ming Chongyan smiled again and said, "I have been busy with some private affairs during this period, so I rarely walk outside. But now my private affairs are over, so I plan to say goodbye to Brother Zhang!"

"Goodbye? Where are you going?" Zhang Zong was stunned when he heard Ming Chongyan's words and then asked.

"It's not decided yet. Maybe it's going back to my hometown, or maybe it's traveling around." Ming Chongyan smiled freely again.

At this time, Zhang Zong suddenly realized that Ming Chongyan seemed to be a little different. Although Ming Chongyan was free and easy on the surface, he was actually very smooth and could not miss the words and things. But now Ming Chongyan seemed to have put down everything, and his face also had a kind of dullness, and this dullness definitely didn't seem to be disguised.

"Are you going to resign from the office?" Zhang Zong looked at the other party in surprise when he heard this. He really didn't expect that Ming Chongyan came to see him to say goodbye, but wasn't he just taking such a great danger to help Wu Meiniang just for fame and fortune?

"Yes, my work has been done, and it doesn't make me want to stay here anymore. Instead, I'll waste my time. I just happened to be able to walk around now, so I plan to go to more places and go back to my hometown to rest if I'm tired of walking." Ming Chongyan nodded and said.

Although Ming Chongyan had a broad friendship, in his heart, Zhang Zong seemed to be the only one who could truly call the word "friend". So he took time to say goodbye to Zhang Zong before leaving.

"You really want to leave! But before you..." Zhang Zong felt incomprehensible at this time. After all, Ming Chongyan's actions were too abnormal, and he even suspected that this was Wu Meiniang's conspiracy.

"I used to be the past. I had my own things to do, but now everything is over." Ming Chongyan smiled again. There was only freedom and calmness in his smile, and everything seemed so natural.

"Why, why did you leave suddenly? If you are not nostalgic for everything in front of you, why do you help that person do those things?" Zhang Zong asked again in confusion. He really couldn't figure out what Ming Chongyan did for?

"I never thought about helping anyone. I used to do it just to achieve my own goals. In fact, when that person died, I was ready to leave, but it was delayed because of some private matters." Ming Chongyan smiled again.

"That person?" Zhang Zong was stunned again when he heard Ming Chongyan's words. The other party mentioned a person, and this person was still dead, which made him immediately think of Li Hong. After all, now that Li Hong had just died, Ming Chongyan was about to leave, which made people have to associate.

"No, you are not talking about the late emperor!" However, Zhang Zong quickly shook his head and said again. Li Hong and Ming Chongyan had no grudges. Even Li Hong wanted to recruit each other at the beginning, but Ming Chongyan took the initiative to surrender to Wu Meiniang. However, even so, Li Hong did not make too embarrassed for Ming Chongyan.

"Okay, Brother Zhang, you don't have to guess randomly. The matter has been over, and I don't want to mention it anymore!" Ming Chongyan smiled again when he saw Zhang Zong's curious appearance.

"I understand, you say it's Emperor Gaozong!" Zhang Zong suddenly slapped his thigh and said, since it was not Li Hong and it had a deep connection with Ming Chongyan, the only possibility was Li Zhi, but wasn't Li Zhi extremely favored for Ming Chongyan? Is there any grudge between the two of them?

Thinking of the above, Zhang Zong couldn't help looking at Ming Chongyan curiously, obviously wanting to hear his explanation, but Ming Chongyan shook his head again without changing his face and said, "I'm afraid you will disappoint Brother Zhang. I've already said that I don't want to mention the things that happened back then, and everyone is already dead. What's the use of even saying it?"

Ming Chongyan suddenly sighed at the end, but this also proved that Zhang Zong was right. He did have any grudges between him and Li Zhi. Zhang Zong even suspected that Ming Chongyan was so abnormal at the beginning and was probably related to Li Zhi.

However, Ming Chongyan was unwilling to explain, and Zhang Zong had no choice but to ask again. In the end, he could only give up helplessly and said again: "Brother Ming, when will you leave? I will see you off at that time!"

"Thank you for your kindness, but there is no need to see you off. If you are destined to come, we may have a day to meet again!" Ming Chongyan refused to tell Zhang Zong the date of his departure, and was even more unwilling to let Zhang Zong see him off.

Hearing Ming Chongyan say this, Zhang Zong had to give up the idea of ​​seeing him off, and then asked about the other party's recent situation. Chongyan did not hide this point. He talked about some of his recent situations and congratulated Zhang Zong on his promotion to the Minister of the Sect.

After finally talking about the matter, Ming Chongyan also stood up and bowed to Zhang Zong and said, "Brother Zhang, the court is dangerous. Although you are in a high position and powerful position now, you must not forget your original intention, otherwise it will cause trouble!"

"Thank you, Brother Ming, for your reminder, I understand all this!" Zhang Zong immediately stood up and bowed. He knew that Ming Chong was reminding him not to be fascinated by power. After all, Zhang Zong's identity is too keen now, and if he wants to be authoritarian, there is no chance.
