At two o'clock in the morning, Wei Yanzong took Yue Lei into the restricted area of Dali Temple through a small side door and came to the small courtyard where Yue Fei was under house arrest.
Although it was very late, Yue Fei had not rested yet.
Under the lamp, Yue Fei was concentrating on reading. Yue Lei ran over excitedly, "Daddy!"
Yue Fei put down the book and looked at his son in surprise, "Lei'er, why are you here?"
"The kid is here to visit daddy!"
Yue Lei pointed behind him and said, "Brother Wei brought me in. We were able to leave Lin'an only because of Brother Wei's help. My mother has also come to Lin'an."
Yue Fei was startled, "Your mother is here too, where is she?"
"I'm temporarily living in Yuhang County. Brother Wei has made arrangements."
Wei Yanzong stepped forward and saluted: "I am Wei Yanzong, the deputy manager of the Western Army Intelligence Station in Lin'an."
Yue Fei nodded, he had been treated very well for more than a month, and it probably had something to do with them.
"Thank you, General Wei, for helping my family. Tell His Highness King Yong for me that I, Yue Fei, will bear his kindness in my heart."
"Must Yue Dutong know what happened in Xiangyang!"
Yue Fei sighed and said: "Yesterday, officials from the Privy Council came to me and told me about the situation in Xiangyang. A large number of my troops defected to the Western Army. The remaining troops were also ordered to be disbanded by the emperor. Alas, after ten years of training, they were destroyed in one day.
!”
At this time, a jailer said in the courtyard: "Someone is coming to inspect, you should leave quickly!"
Wei Yanzong said quickly: "Let me just say one thing. The Western Army on Jinghu South Road is affiliated to the Sichuan Road Bingma Mansion and is under the jurisdiction of the capital commander Zheng Ping. All army grain and military supplies must be distributed from Chengdu and sent to Jiangling by water. They cannot
Materials will be delivered directly from Jingzhao Prefecture."`
After saying that, Wei Yanzong pulled Yue Lei and said, "Let's go!"
Yue Lei quickly handed his mother's letter to his father, and then hurried away with Wei Yanzong.
Yue Fei was confused after hearing this. What does the transportation of Jiangling garrison supplies have to do with him?
Just as Wei Yanzong was taking Yue Leigang away, Li Ruopu, the Prime Minister of Dali Temple, walked in quickly. He looked at Yue Fei and said: "I got the news this afternoon that the gold medal you lost has been obtained. Someone sent it to the Privy Council from Xiangyang Mansion.
He should be your subordinate. Once this matter is settled, the arrest of your son Yue Lei should be lifted soon."
"Thank you, Li Sicheng, for telling me!"
Li Ruopu waved his hand and asked the jailer to retreat. He whispered: "This morning, Qin Xianggong and Zhu Xianggong jointly proposed to the emperor, asking the emperor to set up a three-chamber trial to strictly investigate the collusion between Yue Dutong and Jingzhao. Their ultimate goal is
In order to put the crime of rebellion on Yue Dutong, I heard that Zhu Shengfei got a report from Dong Xian."
"Mr. Dong?"
Yue Fei was shocked, "How could Mr. Dong report me?"
"Empress Dowager Wei has recommended Dong Xian to be the envoy to eastern Zhejiang. Doesn't Yue Dutong still understand?"
Yue Fei let out a long sigh, "It's a shame that I don't care about past grudges. Treating him like that makes people's hearts unpredictable!"
Yue Fei asked again: "How could he report me?"
"I heard that he reported that the capital had colluded with Chen Qing and allowed the Western Army's grain, grass, military supplies and troops to pass through Xiangyang for many years, which led to the deterioration of the situation on Jinghu South Road."
Yue Fei suddenly understood the meaning of Wei Yanzong's words. He allowed the camel caravan from Jingzhao to pass through the border, but only for commercial goods. He would never agree to the transit of army grain and military supplies. If he had no reason, he would really be slandered.
Framed, I can’t explain it clearly.
Wei Yanzong's words are the best rebuttal. The Jinghu South Road garrison is affiliated with the Sichuan Road Soldiers and Horses Mansion. How can Jingzhao skip the level to transport military grain and supplies? Besides, wouldn't it be more convenient to transport grain and grass supplies by ship from Chengdu? It doesn't need to be thousands of miles away at all.
It was transported all the way from Jingzhao by camel.
Yue Fei immediately said angrily: "I want to write to the emperor, I want to explain the situation clearly, and I will never allow them to frame me wantonly."
"Yes! We should submit a letter. Yue Dutong swallows everything, and they become even more unscrupulous!"
At noon the next day, the "Beijing News" was distributed throughout Lin'an Prefecture as usual. The content of today's newspaper was a bit special, which immediately aroused a lot of discussion.
Two poems were published on the front page, one of which was Yue Fei's "All the Rivers Are Red". He was so angry that he stood beside his head and looked up as the rain stopped.
This song "Man Jiang Hong" was written a few years ago. Almost everyone in Lin'an knows it. Everyone is confused as to why this poem was published on the front page.
However, another poem was published on the front page at the same time, which immediately attracted the attention of many people. It was actually a poem by the late Emperor Zhao Heng. It was the first time for the people and officials of Lin'an to read it.
""Drunk and Desolate". Zhao Heng
I was speechless and choked. I looked at the lantern and remembered the season of the year. Xing Xing pointed to the moon and Xing Xing said. May the moon be always full and never be missing for a while.
This year’s flower market has a display of lanterns. The beautiful lanterns make people feel sad. I dare not say it clearly in front of others, I can’t bear to raise my head, and I am ashamed to see the old moon.”
This is when Chen Qing took action. Political struggles at high levels never need to be so straightforward. Wen Xian understood the elegant meaning and put the words of Yue Fei and Zhao Heng together, which became an out-and-out threat to the emperor Zhao Gou.
Secondly, it was also published in the education column of the fourth page, 'There is a controversy in the Jiangning Prefecture Examination, whether the candidate named Lin should be the first.'
This is using Lin Yifei to beat Qin Hui.
"boom!"
In the imperial study, the emperor Zhao Gou lost control of his emotions again and smashed the tea cup to pieces. Zhao Gou's face turned livid and he gritted his teeth and said, "What a Chen Qing, you are so bullying!"
Prime Minister Xu Xiantu happened to walk in. When he saw the porcelain shards and newspapers thrown on the ground, he immediately understood and asked the eunuch to clean them up.
Xu Xiantu picked up the newspaper, put it on the imperial desk, and sighed: "Chen Qing will definitely help Yue Fei, why is your majesty so angry!"
"Are they really colluding?" Zhao Gou snorted heavily.
"Your Majesty, if there was really collusion, Yue Fei would not be preparing to attack Jinghu South Road, let alone be imprisoned when it comes. The reason why the minister said that Chen Qing will definitely rescue Yue Fei is because Chen Qing wants to win people's hearts. Yue Fei's numbers
Thousands of troops defected to him. He wanted to win over the hearts of these soldiers, and the best way was to help Yue Fei. Frankly speaking, on the one hand, Chen Qing wanted to help Yue Fei, but at the same time, he least wanted Yue Fei to return to Jingxiang."
Zhao Gou's anger subsided a little, and he said coldly: "He wants to stand up for Yue Fei, so he writes to me directly. I may give him face. What does it mean for him to threaten me with the late emperor?"
"Your Majesty, Wei Chen was confused at first. Will his threat be counterproductive? But Wei Chen quickly felt that something was wrong."
"What's wrong?"
"Your Majesty, Chen Qing and Yue Fei don't have this kind of friendship, so they won't use the late emperor to threaten him. Does it mean that if your majesty kills Yue Fei, he will help the late emperor ascend the throne? I'm afraid even Lu Yihao doesn't have this treatment! Who is Yue Fei?"
Zhao Gou sat down slowly. After Lu Yihao's analysis, he felt that something was wrong. Yes! Chen Qing would not fight him to the death for Yue Fei.
"Then what does Aiqing mean?"
"Wei Chen feels that Your Majesty should think the other way around."
Zhao Gou frowned, "I don't quite understand. Please be more specific."
"Your Majesty, if a person wants to kill someone, he will never shout all over the world, I am going to kill so-and-so. It is like a dog barking desperately, but it will not bite. In the same way, Chen Qingruo really wants to help the late emperor.
If he ascends the throne, he will not threaten him with this matter."
Zhao Gou tapped hard with his fingers, "Then what does he mean?"
"Wei Chen feels that what he means is that he gave His Majesty a favor regarding the late Emperor's affairs, and he wants Your Majesty to return the favor to him in light of this matter!"
"is that so?"
Xu Xiantu nodded, "Other than that, there is no other explanation, not to mention that the meaning of the words is very downcast and sad, and it definitely does not have the momentum of rebuilding the mountains and rivers and being high-spirited. Wei Chen's understanding should be correct."
Zhao Gou read the poem carefully again, and found that it was very downcast and sad, and indeed did not feel enterprising.
Zhao Gou's anger was mostly gone, he nodded and said: "If this is really the case, I will consider it carefully!"
There is one person who plays the red face, and one person who plays the white face, both soft and hard. Chen Qing himself played the red face, and he needed someone to play the white face to appease him. He chose Xu Xiantu.
