Yue Yun said: "After my father-in-law came back, I was always worried about the emperor's safety. He said that the emperor appointed Wang De as the chief of the Huaixi Army, and Li Qiong would definitely not accept it, and he would definitely instigate his subordinates to kill Wang De and launch a rebellion to surrender to the Jin State. The father-in-law also said that the emperor would listen to Prime Minister Qin's words and come to Huaixi, and he was worried that the Huaixi mutiny would be unfavorable to the emperor, so he sent me to inquire about the news. ”

When Gaozong heard this, he was grateful to Yue Fei for his sincerity, and he decided not to doubt Yue Fei's loyalty anymore. Gaozong returned to the capital smoothly under the escort of Yue Yun, and after returning to the capital, he turned his anger on Zhang Jun's body, he wanted to kill a hundred people, and first took Zhang Jun to open the knife.

"This Zhang Jun is really lawless, I sent him to supervise the army, and actually forced the Huaixi army to the Jin country. I don't know how he became a prisoner? I came in person, but he disappeared without a trace, I want to ask, what is his intention? Could it be that he colluded with rebellion and plotted to seize the Great Song Dynasty?" Gao Zong said angrily.

Zhang Jun fled back to Lin'an like a lost dog, and he came to Qin Hui's mansion and asked Qin Hui for help.

"Zhang Jun, the emperor is furious this time, I don't know how you behaved as a Qincha? Could it be that you and Wang De can't deal with a Li Qiong? actually let his conspiracy succeed, and almost killed the emperor, this time you just wait to die!" Qin Hui looked indifferent.

"Lord Qin, I, Zhang Jun, have always been loyal to you, and this time you have to help me get through it. If the prime minister can save my Zhang Jun's life, I am willing to serve Lord Qin as a cow and a horse for the rest of my life. Zhang Jun knelt down and pleaded.

Qin Hui deliberately pretended to be helpless, and said slowly: "Zhang Jun, let me ask you, why did Li Qiong rebel? What reason did they have to rebel? Did they say anything to you?" Qin Hui asked.

Zhang Jun listened and said: "They said that the emperor was unclear, so Wang De was not convinced by the fact that he was in charge." They also said that Marshal Yue had made many meritorious contributions, but the emperor not only did not reward him, but also withdrew his military power and demoted him to a commoner, and they were unhappy for Marshal Yue. ”

"Do they really say that?" Qin Hui asked.

"Yes, Li Qiong really said that, and he also said that the emperor is a faint king. Zhang Jun added.

"That's right, they are nominally holding grievances for Yue Fei, but in fact they were instigated by Yue Fei, and the culprit of this Huaixi rebellion should be Yue Fei. Qin Hui said.

Zhang Jun didn't understand why Lord Qin would say this, Yue Fei obviously reminded Gaozong in advance, but Gaozong didn't listen, and now that something happened, he put the blame on Yue Fei, which was too unfair to Yue Fei.

"Prime Minister, Yue Fei obviously has nothing to do with this matter, if he shirks his responsibilities like this, the emperor will not believe it, so let's find another way?" Zhang Jun said.

As long as you point the finger at Yue Fei and tell the truth, the emperor will definitely believe it. Qin Hui said.

"Then how should I tell the emperor about this, and why should the emperor believe me?" Zhang Jun asked.

Qin Hui came to the table silently, drew a circle on the table, and said: "You are trapped in this circle now, this circle is around the rebellion of the Huaixi Army, if you don't jump out of this circle, you will be a dead end." If you jump out of this circle in time, and then lock another person in this circle, you can escape and ascend to heaven, and maybe the emperor will reward you. ”

"Prime Minister, you have always been resourceful, tell me what to say when I see the emperor?" asked Zhang Jun.

"Wipe your own ass or wipe it yourself, I'm just giving you a wake-up call. Qin Hui said lightly.

Zhang Jun knelt down and asked Qin Hui to give him ideas, Qin Hui saw that Zhang Jun was a chess piece in his hand, and he would still need it in the future, so he whispered in Zhang Jun's ear for a while. When Zhang Jun heard this, he couldn't help but turn his worries into joy, and thanked him repeatedly: "Thank you, Lord for your guidance, this kindness and virtue will never be forgotten." ”

"Go down, and I await your good news. Qin Hui said and waved his hand.

Zhang Jun left the Prime Minister's Mansion, quietly slipped back to the apartment, deliberately injured himself, and made himself disheveled and disheveled, and then came to the palace to see the emperor with tears in his eyes. Gaozong saw Zhang Jun's embarrassed appearance and walked in and knelt down, tears filled his eyes, and the anger in his heart suddenly disappeared.

"Zhang Jun, what the hell is going on, why did you become like this?" said Gaozong suspiciously.

"Your Majesty, Weichen deserves to die, and he didn't see through Li Qiong's conspiracy early, and he still fell to such a point. Zhang Jun cried.

"Zhang Jun, tell me, what happened? Why did Li Qiong defect to the Jin Kingdom? How did Wang De die? How did you return to Lin'an? What kind of conspiracy did they have?" asked Gaozong.

"Your Majesty, it's a matter of confidentiality, and Weichen can only say it to you alone. Zhang Jun looked at Yue Yun who was standing aside.

Yue Yun saw that Zhang Jun was speaking so flickeringly, and knew that it was inconvenient for him to stay, so he had no choice but to retreat.

"Zhang Jun, now you can talk about it!" Gaozong urged.

Zhang Jun then started from the beginning according to what Qin Hui said: "That day, I came to the Huaixi Army garrison by order and read out the holy decree, Wang De knelt down and thanked the emperor, Li Qiong was not convinced, he said that unless the emperor sent Marshal Yue to serve as the leader, he would not accept it. I had no choice but to pretend to promise him to ask the emperor first. ”

"That night, I was afraid that Li Qiong would rebel and attack me, so I secretly eavesdropped on them, do you guess how they discussed? They said that Marshal Yue secretly confessed that they had killed Wang De and Weichen, and then gathered the crowd to rebel, and together they went to Zhuxian Town to meet, went north to resist Jin, welcomed back the two saints, and supported Qinzong as emperor. Yue Fei also said that today's saints are incompetent, have no ambitions, are in a safe corner, listen to slander, belittle loyalty, do not want to forge ahead, and are afraid of welcoming back the two saints, so he withdrew his military power. ”

At that time, Weichen was taken aback when he heard it, and was about to leave, when he accidentally made a sound, they found out, and chased Weichen overnight, fortunately Weichen ran fast, otherwise he would never see the saint again. That Wang De didn't know what was going on, so he did their knife ghost out of a fool's errand. Zhang Jun couldn't help crying again when he said this.

"I didn't expect Yue Fei to keep saying that he was loyal and patriotic, but he turned out to have such a conspiracy. Your Majesty, think about it, why did Yue Fei ask to be the leader of the Huaixi Army? He just wanted to have military power again and let the Huaixi Army and the Yuejia Army become one. Why did Yue Fei not know that the prophet Li Qiong would surrender to the Jin Kingdom? This was all a conspiracy he had devised in advance. ”

"Why did Yue Yun appear at a critical moment? He wanted the emperor to know his loyalty. Why did Yue Yun not kill Li Qiong and save the 150,000 soldiers and civilians? This is what Yue Fei told him to do. Your Majesty, is the excuse for Li Qiong's rebellion because of Marshal Yue? Are they constantly complaining about Marshal Yue?"

"In fact, this is a play that Yue Fei and they colluded to co-star, the purpose is to make the emperor look at Yue Fei with admiration, and make the emperor feel that he can't do without Yue Fei, this is Yue Fei's good intentions. Yue Fei's resignation to his hometown was actually just to hide people's eyes, and his heart was clearly revealed. Your Majesty, Weichen is just a heartfelt statement, please let the emperor know. Zhang Jun said and wiped his tears.

After listening to Zhang Jun's words, Gaozong only felt that there was a well-founded basis, and he suddenly hated Yue Fei in his heart.

"Stand down, I forgive you for your innocence. But I want to give you a mission, you go to Tangyin and bring Yue Fei to Lin'an. Remember, don't talk nonsense when you see Yue Fei, as long as you say that Yue Yun has made a meritorious contribution to saving the driver, the emperor will reward them well. Gaozong said.

Zhang Jun received the order and walked out happily, he glanced at Yue Yun with a smug smile on his face.

After Zhang Jun left, Gaozong thought to himself: "Miao Liu rebellion, Huaixi mutiny, I suffered two losses and suffered from the generals. This time, I would rather kill my loyal ministers by mistake than let the Huaixi mutiny happen again. ”

It is said that Zhang Jun left the palace and came straight to the Prime Minister's Mansion, his whereabouts were targeted by Zhao Feidao, and he hurried back to the Zhao Mansion and reported the situation to Zhang Yuan, who immediately gathered the brothers of the Lin'an City Zhongyi Society together to discuss countermeasures.

"Brothers, I have summoned you in a hurry because I have an important matter to discuss with you. Brother Zhao Feidao just got the news that the emperor did not punish Zhang Jun, depending on the situation, there must be a conspiracy here. The responsibility for the Huaixi mutiny lies with Zhang Jun, but Zhang Jun has nothing to do, looking at his complacent appearance, he must be shirking the responsibility to others. ”

Zhao Feidao saw Zhang Jun come out of the Prime Minister's Mansion first, and after meeting the emperor, he went to report to Qin Hui. I suspect that Qin Hui and Zhang Jun colluded to target Marshal Yue, who is a loyal minister of the imperial court, and we cannot sit idly by. Therefore, I declare: Zhao Feidao, Li Zhong, Li Cheng, Chu Liang, and I are responsible for monitoring the Qin Mansion and finding out what Qin Hui and Zhang Jun will do next. The rest of you are waiting for Yue Yun outside the palace, if Yue Yun comes out, you will secretly protect him. Zhang Yuan said, and everyone unanimously agreed on Zhang Yuan's arrangement.

After listening to Zhang Jun's words, Gaozong had doubts about Yue Fei's loyalty, he felt that Yue Fei's prestige in the army was too high, and if he really rebelled, no one in the court would be invincible. He couldn't give an order to cut Yue Fei away, it would be counterproductive.

"I see that Qin Hui, Zhang Jun and others are quite jealous of Yue Fei, it is better to borrow their hands to get rid of Yue Fei, so that if they are held accountable in the future, I can punish them, and in this way, I can kill two birds with one stone. Qin Hui is not a good thing, he must have colluded with Jin Wuxuan, I will not demolish him for the time being, because he is still useful to me, as long as he gets rid of Yue Fei, I can ask the teacher to ask for guilt. ”

"Qin Hui, even though you do things well, if you want to deceive me, you still need to be tender. Do you think that when you came back from the Kingdom of Jin unharmed, with the edict of the Second Emperor, I would believe you? Thinking of this, Gaozong had a smug look on his face.
