Chapter 121: Night Visit to Yue Pengju: Continued
When night fell, Yue's family had quieted down, and suddenly there was a gentle knock on the door, and Yue Fei, who had not yet slept, heard it, so he put on a dress and came out of the house, walked to open the door, and saw three people outside the door, all of them heroic and extraordinary, especially the man in the middle, who was wearing a dragon eyebrow and phoenix eyes, and acted with a god, and he didn't dare to be careless at the moment, so he arched his hand and said: "I didn't dare to ask, are the three ......?" ”
Zhao Zhen arched his hand and said: "Ke Mu Qin, this is my eldest brother Mu Yi, this is my brother Yan Lang, we were instructed by Zhao Zhen, the envoy of the two rivers, to congratulate Mrs. Yue on her birthday." ”
Yue Fei was shocked and hurriedly said, "Oops! It turned out to be the official of the wood king, but it was rude, please come in and talk. Then he let Zhao Zhen, Yang Zhi, and Yan Qing into the courtyard and invited them to the grass hall.
As soon as he arrived at the grass hall, Yan Qing walked over and sent a box to Yue Fei and said, "Master Yue, please take a look at the gift of King Xin." ”
Yue Fei said in fear: "Yue Fei has never seen King Xin, how dare he accept the courtesy." ”
"Lord Yue speared King Liang, Weizhen Tokyo, at that time, our Royal Highness admired Lord Yue, but at that time, it was not easy to make friends, this time our Royal Highness went to Hebei to fight against the Jin soldiers, and thought of a hero like Lord Yue, so let us come to see Lord Yue, it just so happened that our Royal Highness knew that Mrs. Yue had a birthday, so we sent this gift over." At this point, Zhao Zhen couldn't help but glance at Yan Qing, he came here temporarily, where to prepare any good gifts, it was Yan Qing's skill, and he made a gift temporarily, which was exactly what he wanted, so he sent it.
Yue Fei saw Zhao Zhen's enthusiasm, and couldn't help but be even more panicked, so he had to open the box, and immediately a golden light shot out, and what was in the box was a longevity peach spelled out with gold leaves.
Yue Fei only felt hot when he held the box, he was not the kind of ignorant martial artist, he also paid attention to current affairs when he was at home, and he had some objections to Zhao Zhen's appointment as the marshal of Hebei, and with Zhao Zhen's soldiers and horses winning consecutive battles in Hebei, he was more sure of his opinion, and often said to people in private, the Zhao brothers were bound to break out into a huge conflict, and now Zhao Zhen suddenly sent someone to see him, and in the case that the two people had no intersection, he gave him such a heavy gift, what he wanted was nothing more than him, But even Zan Quanmei has such a cognition, not to mention Yu Yue Fei, just like him, he promised himself to be a country, how could he go to fight for his life for the sake of one person's selfishness, it was too unworthy.
Yue Fei held the gift box, without saying a word, he didn't want to take it, but he couldn't find a reason to refuse, this was a gift on the grounds of his mother's birthday, no matter what excuse he used, it would cause dissatisfaction with the other party, and there was a tear on his face, and Yue Fei's character was not the kind of person who was good to him, but he could refuse a word.
Zhao Zhen saw Yue Fei hesitating with the gift box, thinking of his words in the morning, he couldn't help but look at the department a little, so he said: "Grandpa Yue don't have to be embarrassed, this is a gift for the old lady, even if Grandpa Yue accepts it, there is no reason to take people short, as for the rest, we don't have anything to do with this."
Yue Fei was broken by Zhao Zhen, and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and when he didn't know what to do, he heard the voice of Yue Lao Taijun behind the curtain: "Pengju!" Yue Fei hurriedly went over and said, "Mother! ”
"Help the old man out, since he is here to pay homage to the old man, then the old man should see it in person."
Yue Fei helped Yue Lao Taijun out, Zhao Zhen and the three of them had already seen Lao Taijun when they were white, and they all admired her feat of tattooing the word for the son, so they stood up together to salute, Yue Lao Taijun was supported by Yue Fei, returned the salute, and then said: "It is the blessing of my wife to be taken care of by King Xin, and with this birthday gift, my wife will also lick her face and live for a few more years." ”
Zhao Zhen laughed and said: "Old Taijun's words are bad, if you are not blessed and long-lived, how can you give birth to a character like Yue Ye." ”
"Huh." Old Taijun Yue also laughed and said, "That's right, the old body has no other ability in this life, only to teach such a son, and make the old body satisfied." Yue Fei looked at his mother with a strange expression, such a compliment, his mother was the first time for him.
Old Taijun Yue glared at Yue Fei and said, "Idiot, it's too much to stand there, and you don't bring the birthday gift of King Xin to your mother." ”
Although Yue Fei was puzzled by the old Taijun's strange behavior, but he was a filial son, the old Taijun had to listen to everything, so he went over to serve the birthday gift, who wanted Yan Qing to be fast, took it first, and held it in front of the old Taijun, and said: "Taijun, please see, this is the birthday gift given to Taijun by the king of my family." ”
Mrs. Yue looked at it carefully, nodded again and again, and said: "This birthday gift is good, don't want this gold leaf to be valuable, even the craftsmanship is also very skillful, the old body is so old, but it is the first time I have seen it." ”
Yang Zhi gently kicked Zhao Zhen's boots and glanced at him, Zhao Zhen didn't feel right without his eyes, with Yue Laotaijun's behavior and behavior, how could he value this bit of gold.
At this time, Mrs. Yue said again: "Pengju, take the gift of King Xin into it, and give it to your daughter-in-law, so that he can put it together with the holy decree of the official family." Yue Fei was still confused at first, but when he understood it, he nodded and said, "The child obeys." After holding the gold and about to leave, Yang Zhi couldn't help it, so he said: "Wait, Master Yue, what's going on with this official holy decree?" ”
Mrs. Yue grabbed Yue Fei's clothes intentionally or unintentionally, asked him to stay, and then said with a smile: "The three envoys don't know, just now my child's mentor Xu Ren Xu Da of the main hall of Tangyin County came back from Tokyo, and brought the curtain to my family's Peng Ju'er's recruitment decree, and transferred him to Tokyo to stay in the division for business. Both the official family and the king of letters value the old son so much, and the old man feels deeply honored. ”
The smile on Zhao Zhen's face couldn't be maintained anymore, it became extremely ugly, and he regretted it so much that he wanted to slap himself in the mouth, if he didn't have to wait until the evening to come, how could he lose to that Xu Ren.
Yang Zhi and Yan Qing's faces were also wrong, they saw that Zhao Zhen admired Yue Fei very much, but they ended up with such an ending, they couldn't help but be a little annoyed, but Zhao Zhen was here, they couldn't talk well, they could only stand like that first, and Yue Fei also saw that Zhao Zhen and them had changed, and couldn't help but secretly feel that if they turned their faces and made a move, they would be the old lady of the mountain, so they half blocked their bodies in front of the old lady Yue.
Zhao Zhen slowly recovered, and said to Yue Fei: "Then Brother Yue is going to take up a post in the East?" ”
Yue Fei nodded and said: "Now there is a big chaos, it is the time for men to learn literature and martial arts, and the goods are with the emperor's family, so Yue Fei naturally wants to go to Tokyo with Xu Enshi." ”
"Tokyo has the old Yuan Rong garrison, the periphery of Hedong, Hebei, and have been recovered by the army, in a short period of time, the Jin soldiers are afraid that they will not be able to go south again, the grandfather-in-law has arrived in Tokyo, but it is just to sit in the poor city, and will not really fight with the Jin soldiers, and my family Xinwang is running Hebei, Yu Jinbing and the traitor Liu Yu, there are big wars, and the father-in-law is dedicated to serving the country, so why not serve under the account of my family Xinwang?"
Yue Fei smiled and said, "The envoy is wrong. ”
Zhao Zhen frowned and said, "How do you say this?" ”
Yue Fei said: "Emperor Zhang Bangchang was abolished, this is the Jin people hold in their hands to the south, the Jin people only retreated, nothing more than most of the Jin soldiers are not suitable for the life of the Central Plains, but back to the bitter cold desert, they will soon remember the flower world of the Great Song Dynasty after leaving homesickness, so the ambitious people in the Jin army must go south again, Hedong all the way, although it was recovered, but did not form a unified command, the King of Wei sat in Taiyuan, only knew how to recruit soldiers and horses, but did not know to solve the fundamental matter of grain and grass, Soon he would have to retreat to Luoyang to eat, and when he retreated, the east of the river would be a blanket of Bin Bai, and the Jin would be able to move south almost effortlessly. ”
At this point, Yue Fei paused, organized the language, and continued: "And the Xinwang Division, although the battle has been won continuously, but it has not shaken Liu Yu's foundation, in order to set up a puppet that can be used by them in the Central Plains, the Jin people will not wait until the Xinwang army completely defeats Liu Yu, and then come to support, and among the Xinwang army, there are high-ranking people who praise the painting, during this period of fighting, they all avoided the Jin soldiers, but were only afraid of Liu Yu's men and horses, since this is also wrong, right, Xinwang has few soldiers, and he can't deal with the Jin soldiers immediately." , the wrong thing is that King Xin will disobey the order of his son, and when the Jin soldiers go south, he will never fight to the death with the Jin soldiers in Hebei, but retreat to Shandong, so who can stop the Jin soldiers? Tokyo will once again be presented under the iron hooves of Jin Rao, so Yue Fei is in the right place in Tokyo. ”
Zhao Zhen couldn't help but nod his head, and finally couldn't help but sigh, and said: "Although Brother Yue is not in my army, he has a very thorough view of my army's affairs, and he admires it very much...... Then I will only ask Brother Yue one more word, you; Are you really unwilling to go to Hebei with Lone? ”
The sentence 'go to Hebei with the lonely' was like a thunderbolt exploding, Yue Fei was stupid for a moment, and even the steady old lady Yue jumped up, looking at Zhao Zhen in disbelief, Yue Fei swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said, "You...... You are ....... ”
Zhao Zhen knew that he was exposed, and he was no longer pretending, so he gave up; "Brother Yue is Zhao Zhen, Zhao Zhen just now, he concealed his identity just now, and please don't blame Brother Yue."
Yue Fei hurriedly helped Old Taijun Yue to kneel, and said; "Chen Yue Fei, see Your Highness!"
Zhao Zhen hurriedly went over, helped the old lady up first, and then pulled Yue Fei to get up, and said: "Brother Yue, I came here alone, just to be able to have an equal relationship with Brother Yue, so as not to worship like this, just ......." He smiled bitterly and said, "But I didn't expect it to be self-defeating and miss out on Brother Yue." ”
Yue Fei didn't have such a chic bearing this time, so he smiled bitterly and said, "Your Highness killed Yue Fei." ”
Yang Zhi snorted coldly and said, "Father-in-law, my Royal Highness has come to invite you, but you haven't eaten dinner yet, if you have the heart, prepare something to eat first." He flew to this time, saw Zhao Zhen, and even gritted his teeth, refusing to say a word about being recruited, so he stabbed a sentence.
Yue Fei hurriedly said: "But it was Yue Fei's negligence, Your Highness waited a while, Yue Fei went to prepare." When he was about to leave, Zhao Zhen grabbed him and said, "Brother Yue doesn't have to be busy, my sister-in-law should also be behind the curtain, right?" I asked my sister-in-law to cook three bowls of noodles for us, but my brother-in-law sat down, and my brother-in-law and I wanted to say a few more words. ”
Yue Fei couldn't refuse, and was in a dilemma, so Old Taijun Yue said: "Pengju doesn't have to move, just listen to His Highness's arrangement." Then he saluted Zhao Zhen and said, "Your Highness will sit down for a while, and the old man will go down and prepare with his daughter-in-law." ”
Zhao Zhen arched his hand and said, "I'm tired of the old lady." Just stood there, sent Mrs. Yue through the curtain, then sat down, and said to Yue Fei: "Brother Yue, even if Lone comes one step earlier, like your bearing, you may not be willing to go with Lone, but Lone does not give up, and I have to ask you, if Lone allows you to only hit Hu to the north, no matter what conflict Lone has with my official family, I will not let you be in it, and Lone will also find a way for you to live, so that no matter what kind of changes there are, you can keep your own status and will not be punished by the officials, are you willing to go to Lone's account?" ”
Yue Fei just wanted to speak, Zhao Zhen rushed to say: "Although the Tokyo Left-behind Division is heavy, but Brother Yue's qualifications are light, and when he gets there, he is just a hundred generals. ”
Sima of the palace specializes in military affairs, and is at the level of Shi Ping, the head of the palace, when he was in the Han and Tang dynasties, he was an indispensable official position in the palace, but after entering the Song Dynasty, because the prince did not have the right to directly command the soldiers and horses, the position of Sima was either not permanent, or became an official to the rank of the officer, but Zhao Zhen was a real official here, and there was no vacancy, Yang Zhi and Yan Qing did not expect that Zhao Zhen would give such a position to Yue Fei, and they couldn't help but look at Zhao Zhen in surprise.
Yue Fei was also stunned, he could feel the sincerity from Zhao Zhen's words, and knew that Zhao Zhen had nothing to say just now, which moved him, but what Zhao Zhen asked for was contrary to his philosophy, which made Yue Fei embarrassed.
Zhao Zhen saw that Yue Fei was silent, and said: "I know that with Brother Yue's personality, I don't care about the size of the official position, but being the commander of an army of 100,000 people or being a general of 100 people, which one is more convenient to serve the country, I want to come to Brother Yue." ”
Yue Fei was forced by Zhao Zhen to have no way out, and sat there with a look of embarrassment, cramped, and really didn't know how to answer.
Zhao Zhen saw it in his eyes, couldn't help but sigh, and said, "It seems that Zhao Zhen and Brother Yue still have no chance!" ”
Yue Fei couldn't help but take a deep breath, and just as he was about to speak, he heard through behind the curtain, and Old Taijun Yue said in a deep voice: "Peng Ju'er, come and bring the noodles to His Highness." ”
Yue Fei's breath that was easy to puff up was dispersed again, so he got up and went to the curtain to hold a red lacquer tray, put the three bowls of noodles in front of Zhao Zhen, Yang Zhi, and Yan Qing, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness...... But please use noodles. ”
