Collect historical materials and compile biographies

Haoqi lasted forever and said back then

Soon, Yue Lei, who was less than forty, died, leaving behind four sons and two daughters. Li Shuzhen died at the age of 70.

The task of avenging Yue Fei fell on the third son Yue Lin, and in addition to official duties, he collected and sorted out various documents related to Yue Fei. Many of the soldiers of the original Yuejia army are still alive. With the help of all parties, Yue Lin has compiled many precious original materials one after another, including the imperial notes and edicts given to Yue Fei by Song Gaozong, as well as some of Yue Fei's recitals. Song Gaozong gave Yue Fei more than 200 imperial notes and edicts only eight years ago in Shaoxing. After Yue Fei was killed, his home was copied, and most of Yue Fei's own chapters, battle reports, and manuscripts were lost. Song Gaozong's imperial notes and edicts could not be discarded at will, but they were also scattered a lot, and only more than 80 pieces remained.

In the fifth year of Chunxi (1178), Shi Hao paid homage to the prime minister again, and Yan Du, the Jiangdong transfer envoy, asked Yue Fei to be given the name, and Emperor Gaozong agreed, which meant that he indirectly admitted Yue Fei's innocence. Xiaozong then ordered the Ministry of Rites to make a report and make suggestions, which caused a sensation in the officialdom of the Southern Song Dynasty.

The highest nickname of the two Song generals is "Zhongwu". The Ministry of Rites originally suggested that Yue Fei's nickname be "Zhongshu", but Xiaozong signaled that it would be changed to "Wu Mu", indirectly admitting that Yue Fei had died in prison.

In June of the leap year, Yue Lin was transferred from Qinzhou to be a young eunuch, and when Song Xiaozong summoned Yue Lin to the palace, he said: "The discipline of the Qing family, the law of using soldiers, Zhang and Han are far behind, the Qing family is wronged, I know it, and the world knows it!" Yue Lin sobbed and said: "Yang is cared for by the Holy Inspector, so the retainers are grateful!" Yue Lin then went to the court and asked for the return of the imperial notes and edicts given to Yue Fei by Song Gaozong, the provincial edicts issued by the imperial court to Yue Fei and some of Yue Fei's chapters, and Song Xiaozong immediately ordered the return of the southern library of Zuozang and the return of the original documents related to Yue Fei that still survived to the Yue family.

Yue Lin extensively collected the observations and accounts of Yue Fei from the contemporaries, visited some of the soldiers of the former Yue family army who were still alive, and learned about some of Yue Fei's deeds through their reminiscences, and recorded them.

Dr. Guozi Gu Qi also helped Yue Lin collect a lot of information related to Yue Fei, and also sorted out a draft of Yue Fei's biography. And this draft of Yue Fei's biography is actually the manuscript of the "Yue Shaobao Xingshi Chronicle" that has been handed down to later generations.

Yue Ke recalled with tears in his eyes that his father Yue Lin was an official in Guangzhou at the time, and his wish to avenge his grandfather had not yet been realized, but he died in October of the third year of Shaoxi (1192). When he was dying, he gave him a draft of his biography and some other information he had collected, and instructed him: "The loyalty of the ancestor has not been revealed, the grievances have not yet been redressed, the facts are all there, and everyone knows them, and as the days go by, some things will disappear." When I was a teenager, I was imprisoned. As for the official career, and the examination is based on what I have seen and heard, and I have visited the widow, and I have not had time to play it for many years. If you can fulfill your father's ambition and avenge Erzu, I will die blindly! ”

Yue Ke's two elder brothers have been local officials, and his sister has been married, so he rushed to take care of the funeral when he heard the news, and he helped his father's coffin to go north at the age of ten and buried Yue Lin in Yixing Tangmen.

After listening to such a long story, Han Yanxuan's face was solemn, "The country will be unstable if there is no conscience, and the court will not prosper without loyal ministers." Everyone knows that Ling Zuyue Shaobao is the first fierce general of Zhongxing in my dynasty, with great military achievements, loyal to the country, and the gold thief was frightened, but unexpectedly, he was killed by the traitor Qin Hui, which is heartbreaking. Now, it is time to do a thorough job of repudiating it in order to boost the righteousness of the sergeants. ”

Clapped Yue Ke with his hand, the young man is good. Talented and courageous, he deserves to be a good son and grandson of Yue Shaobao. Do you know that Naizu Yue Shaobao still has a relationship with our Han family's Dayjin Hall.

Yue Ke only knew that Taishi's ancestral home was Anyang County, Xiangzhou, and Yue's family was Tangyin County, Xiangzhou, less than 80 miles apart, and they were fellow villagers in a broad sense, but he didn't know what else to do.

At that time, Yue Fei was still an eighteen or nineteen-year-old Leng Touqing. As a nursing home in Anyang Dayjin Hall, the owner is Han Xiaoxuan, who is doing Zhizhou in Xiangzhou.

That time, the old man Han Xiaoxuan took people to Bianliang, Tokyo, and part of the nursing home went to the countryside with the eldest son Han Sa to collect rent, and the owner of the family was only Young Master Sun Han Jisen, and the rest were women and children. There are only four guards in the huge courtyard, so it can be said that it is the weakest time of the Dayjin Hall

After the fourth watch, Yue Fei and another nursing home patrolled the night. It was the middle of spring, it was pitch black outside, nothing could be seen, and the steep wind was blowing, blowing on people, and there was a kind of cold that pierced into the muscles and bones. Yue Fei couldn't help but shudder, and when he saw the other shrinking back and ignorant, he reminded him to cheer up.

The man muttered, "Brother Pengju, what can happen to this ghost weather, it's better to go back to sleep." ”

That's not good, on a dark and windy night, when thieves are infested, and the owner is not at home, we should be more careful.

After that, Yue Fei held a spear in his right hand and a lantern in his left hand, climbed up the tower, walked north in turn, and found that there was movement under the courtyard wall, and then looked closely, there were three or four thieves who were setting up ladders.

When the nursing home saw it, he was frightened, and Yue Fei patted him, "Don't be afraid, I, Yue Pengju, will call him if he comes and goes." Go ring the bell! ”

The whole courtyard is three or four miles in circumference, and there is a tower in each direction of the courtyard wall, where you can rest and watch, or you can rely on this to fight back, and there are drums in it, and the guards and masters can hear it.

Yue Fei hung the lantern by the wall, held a spear, stood majestically on the courtyard wall, pointed at the thief who was about to climb up, and shouted: "Oh, where did the robber come from, I don't know what to do, dare to come and rob the Han family's compound, I advise you to get out of here quickly, otherwise the gun in Yue's hand will not recognize anyone!" ”

The thieves outside the wall heard the shouting, knew that they had been discovered, and hurriedly retreated. Look again, although the drums are beating, there is only one person in the whole area. The leader cheered up, "Don't be afraid, just one, go up and slaughter him." ”

The thieves climbed up the courtyard wall one after another, only to see Yue Fei without fear, brandishing a spear, stabbing and picking on the left, knocking over the thieves one by one.

At this time, the other nursing homes arrived, and Young Master Sun Han Jisen also arrived. The thieves who came up were all beaten down. Han Jisen said to Yue Fei and the others, "Everyone, protect the courtyard, give me a stop, you must not let this group of thieves into the courtyard, I have already sent someone to inform the yamen, and the soldiers will be there in a while." ”

Yue Fei knew that there were about eight or nine thieves outside the courtyard wall, and even a few of them could deal with them. Since the officers and soldiers will be there soon, don't let them run away. Then he put away his guns and withdrew, so that they could resist for a while.

Seeing that Yue Fei had retreated, Young Master Sun hurriedly asked, "Yue Huyuan, are you injured?" ”

Yue Fei waved his hand, "It's okay, I see that this group of thieves is not bad, deliberately rest, fight slowly, and when the officers and soldiers come, they will attack inside and outside, and they can no longer be allowed to harm people." ”

Seeing that Yue Fei was full of anger, Young Master Sun nodded in agreement. After a while, Yue Fei picked up the gun and went up again, "Brothers, you stand down and let me come." ”

When the officers and soldiers arrived, these thieves were all defeated by Yue Fei and immediately arrested.

Yue Fei became famous in one fell swoop, becoming the youngest and bravest bodyguard of the Dayjin Hall, and was deeply trusted by the Han family. Later, because of the southern invasion of the Jin soldiers, the Central Plains was full of smoke, and upon the recommendation of Han Xiaoxuan, Yue Fei joined the army and defected to Tokyo to stay behind Li Gang.

Some time ago, Xin Qiji built a temple for Han Shizhong in Zhenjiang, and some people thought of Yue Fei's grievances.

Seeing that Yue Ke was still immersed in the past, he told him: "You will submit this "Jin Tuocui Compilation" to the History Museum, and the historian will approve it, and then compile a biography and pass it on to future generations. The matter of rehabilitating Zhaoxue will be handled by Zhongshu as soon as possible, and then reported to the emperor for decision, so you can wait for good news. ”
