On a rainy night, the sky was dark and dreary, and Yue Fei wandered alone on the streets of Lin'an, letting the rain wash him. His heart was as cold as the rain, and his tears rolled down the rain.

"The emperor listens to slander, is close to the villain, is suspicious of the generals, and treats the second emperor like fire and water. I want to write to the emperor, but the emperor can't even see him, and he wants to leave quietly, and he can't rest assured that he can't leave the rivers and mountains of the Great Song Dynasty. Yue Fei, Yue Fei, you are dominating on the battlefield, but now you have become a sick cat. ”

The lightning flashed and thundered, the wind and rain were shaking, and there was almost no one walking on the streets of Lin'an. Yue Fei thought about the past as he walked, he remembered everything that the Great Song Dynasty had experienced since the shame of Jingkang, remembered his lofty ideals and ambitions, remembered the words that he was born and died with his brothers, remembered Yang Zaixing and other brothers who sacrificed their precious lives to fight against the Jin soldiers, remembered the twelve gold medals of the imperial court, remembered the scene when he encountered monsters in the river, remembered the emperor's indifference to him, and remembered Qin Hui, Wang Jun, Zhang Jun and the others had a nest of snakes and rats, and his heart hurt like a knife, and at the same time he was very angry at what they did.

The rain kept dripping, Yue Fei walked on the street to let the rain wash his heart as calm as a mirror, he returned to his apartment, leaned on the railing, looked up at the dark night sky, and felt an impulse in his heart, he wanted to express his feelings and pass the time of this rainy night. Touching the scene, I can't help but think of the autumn of the fourth year of Shaoxing, the scene of the first Northern Expedition winning a great victory.

In late August, the imperial court promoted him to the envoy of the Qingyuan Military Festival, and when the festival was sent to Ezhou, the officers and men of the whole army rejoiced. That afternoon, the rain and clouds dispersed, and the blood-like sunset shone obliquely on the Yangtze River, and the river was fiery red. Yue Fei looked at the railing from afar, saw that the rivers and mountains were so beautiful and delicate, he was full of emotion, and casually recited a song "Man Jianghong" that has been recited through the ages.

Angry hair rushed to the crown, relying on the place, Xiaoxiao rain rest. Raise your eyes, look up to the sky and roar, and be fierce. Thirty fame, dust and earth, eight thousand miles of clouds and moons. Don't wait, the young man's head is white, empty and sad.

Jing Kang is ashamed, and the courtiers regret when they will be destroyed. Driving a long car is broken, and Helan Mountain is lacking. Zhuang is hungry for Hulu meat, laughing and thirsty for Xiongnu blood. To start from the beginning, clean up the old mountains and rivers, and face the sky.

Yue Fei remembered this poem, couldn't help but be full of passion, he returned to the house, took out the pen and ink, waved on the wall, and wrote "Man Jianghong" on the wall in an instant, and then chanted aloud: "Angry hair rushes to the crown, leaning on the railing, Xiaoxiao rain rest." Raise your eyes, look up to the sky and roar, and ...... fiercely"

"Good poetry, Marshal Yue really deserves to be an all-round talent in civil and military affairs, admire, admire. Yue Fei was chanting, when he saw Zhang Jun walk in and said praisefully.

Marshal Zhang smiled, Yue just couldn't sleep in this rainy night, and occasionally remembered the poem written by the Yangtze River, looking far away, full of passion, expressing emotions, and now thinking about it, everything is a passing cloud, even if Yue has this heart, there is nothing he can do. Yue Fei turned around and said lightly.

"Why should Marshal Yue give up on himself? Maybe he will show his skills in the near future. Now that Song Jin has just successfully negotiated peace, the emperor doesn't want to make a big move, so he has to let the generals temporarily grieve for a while, once the Jin people invade, you and I will fight a decisive battle. Zhang Jun said.

"I don't know what Marshal Zhang did when he came late at night?" Yue Fei asked.

"The emperor has an edict to hand over to Marshal Yue, and Prime Minister Qin is afraid that Marshal Yue will be impatient to wait, so he sent me to send it in the starry night. Zhang Jun said that, and handed the edict to Yue Fei.

Yue Fei took the edict and opened it, but it was a vague letter of recall. The marshal's military power was withdrawn, and a Xuanfu envoy with office but no power was sealed.

"Marshal Zhang, how did the emperor arrange the affairs of the Huaixi Army?" Yue Fei asked.

"The Huaixi Army is under the direct command of the imperial court, and the emperor ordered Wang De to serve as the commander-in-chief, and Li Qiong as the deputy commander-in-chief, and asked me to personally go to pass the decree, and by the way, be a supervisor. Zhang Jun said.

"It will be a bad thing for the emperor to do this, Marshal Zhang, please tell the emperor that you should pay attention to the Huaixi Army and don't give them to the Jin State. Yue Fei said.

"The emperor has his own reasons for doing this, and Zhang can't help it. Marshal Yue, you should say this to the emperor in person. Zhang Jun turned around and left.

When Yue Fei saw Zhang Jun leaving, he remembered the edict given to him by the emperor and the major events that were about to happen in the imperial court, and he was anxious.

"No, this is related to the Jiangshan Sheji of the Great Song Dynasty, that is, the emperor doesn't want to hear it, and if he can't listen to it, I will say it too. This is the duty of a courtier, I am an official of the court, and I have an unshirkable responsibility. Thinking of this, Yue Fei decided to brave the rain to go to the palace to ask for a meeting with the saint, and do his last bit of effort to persuade the emperor to take back his fate.

The rain was still pouring down, Yue Fei didn't bring rain gear, he braved the wind and rain to come to the gate of the palace, the yellow gate official saw that Yue Fei was wet all over his body, he was taken aback, and asked, "Marshal Yue, why did you enter the palace late at night?"

"I asked to see the Holy One, and I had important matters to tell the Holy One, and the Labormen Officials reported it on my behalf. Yue Fei said.

Seeing Yue Fei coming in the rain overnight, the Huangmen official thought to himself: "Marshal Yue entered the palace late at night to face the saint, it must be a big matter, so it is better to go in and report it, so as not to miss the big event." So he hurriedly entered the palace to report.

When Gaozong heard that Yue Fei had come in the rain overnight, he pondered in his heart: "Yue Fei must have come this time for the affairs of the Huaixi Army, if I see him, how should I explain it to him? ”

"Go out and tell Yue Fei that if you have anything to say tomorrow, I'm tired and have to rest. Gaozong said.

After hearing this, the Huangmen official had no choice but to come out and tell the truth: "The emperor is tired and has to rest, and he will talk about something tomorrow." Marshal Yue, you better go back. ”

Yue Fei heard it like five thunderbolts, and sighed: "Alas, the power of heaven is unpredictable, that's it, that's it." After Yue Fei finished speaking, he walked into the rain with heavy steps.

Yue Fei was disheartened when he saw that the emperor refused to summon him, he walked in the rainy night with heavy steps, and he didn't know when he would return to the apartment. It came to this point that he was no longer in the mood to lie down and sleep, and before dawn he wrote his resignation letter, folded it and took it with him. In the early dynasty, Yue Fei came to the palace on time, and above the court, he didn't say anything, and he didn't want to say anything.

"Your Majesty, this is the resignation of Weichen, please ask the emperor to read it. After Yue Fei finished speaking, he handed over his resignation.

Gaozong took the resignation letter, opened it and saw that it was written: Feisheng lives in Hebei and grows up in Tangyin. Since childhood, he has practiced literature and martial arts in order to serve the country. The young man was ordered to be in difficulty, and the prime of life controlled the army. For more than ten years, he has been fighting in the south and the north, and he has worked hard, although he has the heart to serve the country, it is difficult to repay his life's ambition. Now the Song-Jin peace agreement has been completed, and the world is peaceful. Flying eye disease recurred, he was unwell, and he had nothing to do while staying in the court. Fei implores to return to the field to recuperate physically and mentally. If the emperor approves it, he will be grateful. By the way, the Huaixi army is unreliable, and if the emperor is so decisive, it will cause trouble, and it is advisable to prevent it from happening.

Gaozong looked at it and said: "Yue Aiqing is concerned about the safety of the country, and I remember it in my heart. I will not forget your words, nor will I forget your credits. Since Yue Aiqing's eye disease has recurred, I have agreed, I don't know when Yue Aiqing will leave? ”

"The emperor's kindness, Yue Mou's heart understands, Yue Mou is just a grass farmer now, there is no need to send it away, I will go back to Tangyin's hometown after I finish it. Yue Fei said.

Gaozong didn't say anything after hearing this, but just said as usual: "Zhong Aiqing has a book, and he has no book to retreat." ”

None of the civil and military officials said a word.

"Qin Aiqing stays, and the rest will disperse. Gaozong said.

The ministers left one after another, and only Qin Hui glanced at Yue Fei triumphantly and stayed.

"Qin Aiqing, Yue Fei wrote a few words at the end of his resignation, I think he is also loyal, and he should consider Yue Fei's proposal. Gaozong said and showed his resignation to Qin Hui.

"Your Majesty, what Yue Fei said is not unreasonable, Zhang Jun may not be able to control Wang De and Li Qiong when he goes to the Huaixi Army to supervise the army. Just in case, Weichen implored the emperor to go to the palace in person, and the Huaixi army was not directly managed by the imperial court? The imperial court was in charge, that is, the saint himself was in charge. If the saint goes in person, the soldiers will definitely be grateful, they will serve the emperor with all their hearts, and Wang De and Li Qiong will not have any more dissent. Qin Hui pondered for a moment and said.

When Gaozong heard this, he felt that what Qin Hui said was very reasonable, and he decided to go in person. Qin Hui saw that Gaozong agreed, and he was secretly happy in his heart, the reason why he said this was actually to borrow a knife to kill people and make an immortal contribution to the Jin country.

Not long after Yue Fei left the capital, Emperor Gaozong, at the instigation of Qin Hui, left Lin'an with his personal guards and rushed to the Huaixi army station.

Zhang Jun was ordered to come to the Huaixi military camp and read the holy decree in the glory of Lord Qincha. Wang De was complacent when he heard it, and Li Qiong was dissatisfied when he heard it.

"Li Qiong, you will be my deputy in the future, and we will abandon our previous suspicions and serve the court together. Wang De glanced at Li Qiong with provocative eyes, and deliberately pretended to be quite generous and said.

"How old are you, if you want me to be your deputy, there is no door!" Li Qiong said.

"Don't quarrel between the two, this is what the emperor meant, what does it matter who is the right and who is the deputy?" Zhang Jun said.

"No, I'm going to try with him, and if he beats me, I have nothing to say, and if he can't beat me, then the position of steward is mine. Li Qiong said.

"Who's afraid of whom?" Wang De said, standing up.

Li Qiong saw Wang De stand up and show his weapon, he also stood up and showed his weapon, and his subordinates on both sides also showed their weapons. Zhang Jun saw the tension between the two sides, and he was so frightened that he couldn't possess his body. But he managed to stop it with the power of Lord Chincha.

"Don't fight, the emperor sent me to be your supervisor, and both of you must listen to my advice. As the saying goes, when two tigers fight, one must be injured, and whoever is injured is the loss of the imperial court. If you have any opinions, I will report to the emperor, and I believe that the emperor will deal with them according to your situation, and you will all step down. Zhang Jun shouted.

Wang De put away the sword in his hand and sat down, and Li Qiong walked out with his subordinates in a huff.
