As the Prime Minister of the province and the Imperial Master, he has such a distinguished status, yet he is so coldly treated in a place like Xiangzhou!
The officials of Xiangzhou Prefecture treated him lukewarmly, and the local people even gathered outside to insult him all night long.
Geng Nanzhong, who was deeply humiliated, sent out the royal guards to protect him and drove him to kill him, so he could finally find peace.
'They are all unscrupulous people and have no idea that I am seeking peace for the sake of the Song Dynasty!'
As the leader of the peace faction who ceded territory and sought peace, Geng Nanzhong's reputation has long been ruined.
But he couldn't change his course, so he could only grit his teeth and hold on until the end.
At this time, when King Qin's troops from all over Hebei and Hedong swarmed in, Geng Nanzhong became even more angry.
Originally, he was given the title of deputy marshal of troops and horses in Hebei and Hedong by the officials, and he was to take over Li Yunze's military power here.
But after the army arrived, he couldn't even enter the military camp, let alone take over the military power.
Troops and horses came one after another, but no one paid any attention to him, nor did they react at all to his title of deputy marshal of troops and horses.
Waiting until today, when he heard that King Kang's Chinese army finally arrived in Xiangzhou, Geng Nanzhong, full of anger, came directly to block King Kang's Chinese army camp.
After being blocked again, I just ignored it and went straight through.
"Pengju, I'll give you three days' leave. Just go and come back as soon as possible."
In the camp, Li Yunze was giving Yue Fei a holiday, asking him to take a trip home while the army was gathering.
"Your Majesty," Yue Feifei saluted, "At this time when the country is in danger, how can the general abandon the national crisis and only care about his family."
Li Yunze probably wouldn't believe it when others said such righteous things, but he definitely believed what Yue Fei said.
"Then I won't say that I'm giving you a holiday." Li Yunze simply changed his excuse, "I ordered you to go to Tangyin to recruit brave warriors and come back in three days. Well, those in the army who are from Tangyin can go there together."
It’s not that Yue Fei really doesn’t understand the ways of the world. Now that the holiday has turned into serious work, he naturally won’t shirk all kinds of excuses.
The two of them talked and came outside the camp, only to find out that someone had forced their way into the camp and had been captured. The man claimed to be Geng Nanzhong, the Prime Minister of the capital.
"You go and do your own business." After arranging for Yue Fei to leave, Li Yunze turned back to the camp and called for Geng Nanzhong to be brought up.
"It's simply lawless!" Geng Nanzhong, whose official robes were in messy shapes, roared as soon as he entered the camp, "I am the provincial minister, and the second and third sons dare to neglect and humiliate me like this!"
"Your Majesty." Geng Nanzhong bowed his hands towards Li Yunze, "I hope Prince Kang can prove the law clearly."
‘Tsk.’
Li Yunze was amused. "How can the deputy marshal prove it?"
"I'm going to collide with the provincial minister." As a scholar, Geng Nanzhong was extremely disdainful of the deputy marshal and didn't even want to mention it.
"No one is allowed to break into the military camp without my military order. The sergeants are only following my orders. If the deputy marshal wants to seek revenge, he will come against me." At this point, Li Yunze said a heartfelt sentence, "I
The king's subordinates are the true masters of tigers and wolves, and
They are not those forbidden soldiers who knew everything but fighting."
Geng Nanzhong, whose face was as suffocated as pig liver, stared blankly at Li Yunze.
After a long while, he finally choked out a sentence, "Your Majesty, the noble Lord Tianhuang, is actually collaborating with the second and third sons. Aren't you afraid that the world will laugh at you?"
The sergeants in the camp looked slightly moved, and looked at Geng Nanzhong with increasingly unkind eyes.
"People from all over the world?"
Li Yunze was also amused, "When you talk about people in the world, I guess they must be from poor families or above to be considered human beings. Or are those people who talk about talented people and beauties all day long considered human beings?"
"In my heart, only the common people in Guizhou are the real people of the world. As for you, you are just parasites. In other words, if you eat well and drink well, you seem to be stronger."
Geng Nanzhong never thought that one day he would be compared to an insect, and he was almost stupid.
After coming back to his senses, he became angry and said, "Your Majesty, where have you learned the words of saints? It is simply an insult to gentleness."
"Sage, hey."
Li Yunze got angry when he mentioned this, "Now that foreign invaders have invaded, the people are being ravaged and life is worse than death. Where are the saints you mentioned? Why don't they come out to save the people of the world from dire straits?"
"If they can't save it, why should they learn the words of their saints?"
Geng Nanzhong couldn't refute what he said, he could only keep stamping his feet and shouting, "Sophistry and sophistry, be polite!"
Li Yunze was too lazy to pay attention to such a die-hard advocate and factional national thief, and directly asked, "What is the purpose of the deputy marshal's coming here?"
Geng Nanzhong, who tried hard to calm down his mood, said with a dark face and rolled his sleeves: "Your Majesty, I have come to take over the military power according to the official order. I also ask Your Majesty to deliver the goods as soon as possible."
After finishing speaking, he simply took out the imperial edict and held it in his hands.
"Mr. Geng." Li Yunze looked at him for a while, and then sighed, "Why are you so ignorant?"
Geng Nanzhong was furious when he heard this, "What do you mean by this, Your Majesty?"
"Who do you think you are? Zhang Bairen? You want to take away military power in just one sentence, and you are worthy of it? I wanted to leave you some dignity so that you could retreat despite the difficulties. Now it seems that you don't understand."
"Prince Kang!" Geng Nanzhong, who was angry, stopped calling him "Prince. Do you want to resist the decree?"
"When the country is destroyed and the family is destroyed, and the people are bleeding." Li Yunze simply stood up, walked step by step in front of Geng Nanzhong, picked up the imperial edict in his hand, and threw it aside without looking at it, "You national thieves
Still fighting for power, when all the Song Dynasty and I are dead
People calling?”
"You~you~~you~~~"
"Take out the imperial edict and burn it." Li Yunze turned around with his hands behind his back. "As for the deputy marshal, drag him out and hand him over to the people of Xiangzhou for disposal."
Zhai Cong, who was in the tent, loudly received the order and immediately led his men to drag Geng Nanzhong away.
The furious Geng Nanzhong struggled desperately and shouted, "Kang Kang, you want to rebel, you want to rebel~~~"
Zhai Cong raised his fist as big as a casserole and punched Geng Nanzhong's round face several times.
After suffering a bruised nose and a swollen face and losing a few teeth, he finally calmed down.
Li Yunze, who was standing with his back turned, raised his head and closed his eyes, "Hey, scholar-bureaucrat!"
That night, Zuo Cheng, the great scholar of the Zizheng Palace, and Geng Nazhong, his minister, were besieged by angry people in Xiangzhou City, and were eventually beaten to death by carrots.
The peace faction in the Great Song Dynasty lost a strong man who advocated ceding territory and paying compensation.
"elder brother."
On the way to Tangyin, Wang Gui saw a burned village not far from the main road and looked at Yue Fei worriedly.
"Yeah." Yue Fei's complexion was also very ugly, and the veins were bulging when he clenched his fists with both hands.
The main force of the Jin Army's East Route Army indeed moved south from Daming Mansion, but the fringe troops also swept through Xiangzhou on the edge.
Although he had seen too many scenes of people being brutally killed along the way, every time he saw it again, the anger in his heart would build up further.
Hundreds of Song troops from Tangyin followed Yue Fei all the way south anxiously, and finally returned to their hometown after crossing Tangshui.
Following Yue Fei's order, everyone dispersed and went home with their military rewards and pay.
However, Yue Fei himself did not go home. He took Wang Gui and others in a cart to deliver rewards and military pay to the fallen compatriots from house to house.
On the way, he met a group of refugees preparing to flee south, but he was shocked to see his wife among them.
"Why are you here?" Yue Fei, who had always been taciturn, finally changed his mind. "Where is my mother? Where is Yue Yun and Yue Lei?"
Mrs. Liu looked at Yue Fei on the horse, muttering and not daring to speak.
"sister in law."
It was Wang Gui, Zhang Xian and others who reacted quickly and hurriedly stepped forward to persuade me, "Go home first. My brother will have his own explanation later."
When Mrs. Liu lowered her head and ran away, Wang Gui and others looked at Yue Fei with some worry.
"Keep working." Yue Fei, whose teeth were almost broken, continued to ride his horse with trembling hands to deliver money and silk to the family of Pao Ze, who died in the battle.
After being busy until the evening, after instructing Wang Gui and others to recruit brave warriors in various villages and towns tomorrow, Yue Fei returned home with a dark face.
Returning home, eight-year-old Yue Yun was overjoyed.
Mrs. Liu, on the other hand, was holding the infant Yue Lei in her arms, lowering her head and not daring to speak.
After patting Yue Yun on the head, Yue Fei did not even look at Mrs. Liu, but led the horse into the yard and went straight to find his mother.
When mother and son meet each other in troubled times, they are naturally extremely happy.
"Mother." Yue Fei came to the courtyard and took out the heavy cloth bag on his horse. "These are the rewards my son has received."
The bag was opened, and heavy silver ingots splashed all over the ground.
Mrs. Liu's eyes shone when she saw it, but her mother-in-law's face darkened.
"Yue Fei!"
His mother-in-law pointed at him and scolded him, "Are you deducting food and salary in the army and eating the hard-earned money of your colleagues?"
Yue Fei immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed heavily, "I don't dare. These are all calculated by the marshal based on his military merits. None of them are obtained by deduction."
My mother-in-law expressed doubts about this, "How generous is the marshal? You wrote in your previous letter and said that a small school in the military can actually get so many rewards?"
"Reply to my mother." Yue Fei took out his fish bag and the talisman document. "I have won the respect of the marshal. My son is now under the control of the Yongxing military capital."
It was only then that his mother-in-law finally felt relieved and took his hand to ask about his situation these days.
Yue Fei was naturally full of words and explained his experience in detail, especially how he defeated the Jin army under the command of King Kang.
When the moon was high in the sky, mother-in-law called Mrs. Liu to prepare the meal. After her daughter-in-law left, she comforted Yue Fei, "Don't blame her. The family is going to be in trouble. The world has become such a mess. She also has her own reasons."
of."
Yue Fei lowered his head and said nothing.
Seeing his appearance, his mother-in-law sighed repeatedly and could only continue to persuade him.
During dinner, Yue Fei ate without saying a word, while Mrs. Liu was trembling by the side and didn't know what to do.
After dinner, everything was arranged and Yue Yun and Yue Lei had gone to bed. When Mrs. Liu was helping Yue Fei wash up, Yue Fei asked frankly, "Why don't you take the mother and the child with you?"
Mrs. Liu burst into tears when she heard this, "I am just a woman. My mother is older and my son is younger. What can I do? Drag them or hold them across the river?"
This is true. The family was too poor to take the blame, and the Jin army came across the border killing countless people.
In such troubled times, there was no news about Yue Feiyuan from the Pingding Army. If Liu wanted to escape, she could only say that she wanted to survive.
If you take an old mother and young son with you, you won't be able to escape.
Yue Fei also knew this, so he stopped talking after that.
But I slept until midnight, and my mind kept replaying the tragic scenes of being harmed by the Jin army in various places along the way, the misery of my hometown, the misery at home, and the fact that the prince was dedicated to saving the Song Dynasty, but he was betrayed by the hypocrites in the court.
All the persecutions have arrived
At this time, the court actually asked for peace!
Countless thoughts kept going around, until finally I couldn't bear it anymore.
He simply got dressed, got on his horse and went out.
After running through the night, I arrived at the door of a famous tattoo master in Tangyin, and knocked on the door.
The tattoo expert opened the door and saw Yue Fei, a famous person from Tangyin. He quickly handed over his hand, "Brother Yue family, what's the matter?"
Yue Fei took a deep breath as he stepped in, "I can't calm down. I want to get a tattoo on my back."
"Yes Yes."
The master of sashimi responded again and again, asking him to come into the house to fetch the food guy.
"May I ask Brother Yue, what character should I get tattooed on?"
