Chapter Thirty-Eight: Loyalty to the King and Serving the Country

The mother-in-law's break not only made Yue Fei pounce on the ground, but even made Niu Gao and Ji Qian, who had just stood up, also knelt down. Yue Yinhua, who had just stopped crying, was almost scared to cry again.

The mother-in-law stood up, not angry and arrogant, and her loving eyes became serious. "Gorou, aren't you also the king of the mountain now? Have you forgotten the four words I tattooed on your back before you left home? ”

Yue Fei raised his head and said without humility or arrogance, "Mother's teachings are engraved in the child's heart, and I dare not forget it for a moment." But the child thinks that since the mother tattooed the words "loyalty to the country" on the child's back, the child should follow the mother's teachings, do his best to serve the country with all his heart. What the child has done in the past two years is all for the sake of loyalty to the monarch and the country, and has not violated the teachings of his mother. ”

The mother-in-law couldn't help but be even more angry when she saw that Yue Fei didn't admit her mistake at all. Yue Fei saw his mother angry, and his heart was sad, but he would not bow his head and admit his mistake like he did two years ago. Because he wanted his mother to understand his painstaking efforts. So he continued, "Two years ago, the child left his mother and Yun'er Silver Bottle and abandoned his family to join the army, not for fame and wealth, but for a sense of injustice in his heart. The golden dog is brutal and broken. The child wants to rely on the martial arts passed down by his teacher to expel the golden dog. At that time, Bianliang was not broken, Zong Shuai broke the gold soldiers in Kaide Mansion, and King Qin's army gathered in Xiangzhou. Therefore, the child also threw himself into his command with enthusiasm, and was only willing to follow the banner of King Kang to kill Bianliang and rescue the people of Bianliang. But to the child's disappointment, although Zong Shuai repeatedly asked His Royal Highness King Kang to lead his army to Bianliang, King Kang not only did not dare to go south, but went north to the Daimyo's mansion and sat back and watched the golden dog break Bianliang and kidnap the second emperor. ”

"Are the Golden Soldiers really invincible? Zong Shuai crossed the river to the south with a partial division of 5,000 people, and broke the thirteen battalions of the Jinren. At that time, the child was fortunate to belong to the command of the commander of the sect and fought against the Jinren. I only hate Guo Jing's demons for deceiving Qinzong and making my Great Song Imperial City fall into ruins. At that time, Zong Shuai didn't sigh through gritted teeth! Who sighs? Sigh for the cowardice of Qinzong, sigh for the mediocrity of Huizong, and sigh for the cruelty of His Royal Highness King Kang. ”

"In the spring of this year, the Jin soldiers went north, and His Royal Highness King Kang left the Daimyo's Mansion and went to Yingtianfu, where he ascended the throne as emperor. At that time, the child still had illusions about His Royal Highness King Kang, so he wrote a letter to the Holy Driver and persuaded King Kang to move the capital to Bianliang, so as to gather heroes from all over the world and the hearts of the people of the Central Plains. The Son of Heaven drove across the river and went south to Lin'an City. But the child's book was only rewarded with a hundred sticks! ”

When the mother-in-law heard this, she couldn't help frowning. She knew that Yue Fei would definitely not lie about this. But the mother-in-law still said, "Although my son is wronged, he is resentful, and it is not what a minister deserves. ”

Yue Fei didn't argue with his mother and continued. "Niang Ke knows that King Kang not only gave up Ying Tianfu, but also left tens of thousands of rebellious troops to Ying Tianfu. At that time, in Yingtianfu, there were rebellious troops in the city, and there were rebellious people outside the city who killed people and sold goods. The child couldn't bear to respond to the blood of the 100,000 people in Tianfu, so he stepped forward and broke through the tens of thousands of rebels in the city in a week. At the request of the people of Tianfu, the child was recommended to be the training envoy of the Protector Legion. It took another month for the child to pacify the entire Ying Tianfu. Mother, did the child do something wrong? The mother often advises the child to protect the people, and the child has done it, is it still wrong? ”

The mother-in-law looked at Yue Fei who was kneeling on the ground, and suddenly felt that her child had really grown into a man, he had his own thoughts, and he was starting his own career. But this career is not what my mother-in-law likes. The mother-in-law just wants her son to become a good general through the ages and a loyal minister for all eternity. So although the mother-in-law felt that her child was doing the right thing, the loyal monarch thought that penetrated into the bone marrow still made her continue to reprimand Yue Fei.

"Gorou, you did a good job of calming Ying Tianfu. But you are also familiar with poetry and books, and you should know that between heaven and earth, loyalty and filial piety are the greatest. Although today's son is temporarily touring south, he will move back to Bianliang one day. He will not fail to avenge the revenge of his father and brother. He temporarily learned from King Goujian of Yue to taste his courage, and those of you who are courtiers should understand him. ”

Niu Gao saw that his mother-in-law was still defending King Kang, who had abandoned his father and brother, and immediately raised his eyebrows, and wanted to defend Yue Fei. However, he quickly kept his mouth shut, because he felt that if he opened his mouth to persuade him, it would only make his mother-in-law even angrier.

Yue Fei had already made up his mind to convince his mother. Therefore, although he knelt on the ground, his words were more impassioned and more rebellious. "Mother, my lord, the child remembers that Yasheng Mengke said, the king is not the king, and the minister is not the minister. He also said that the king regards his ministers as mustard, and his ministers regard his ministers as enemies. In Yichen's opinion, whether it is today's son or the second sect of Huiqin, he is not worthy of being a king. The three of them, father and son, are just what Yasheng Mengke said. Huizong ruled the world for decades, and only knew how to favor traitorous ministers. The people of the world are like beggars, and every day is not as good as one day. The people of Hedong and Hexi were harmed by the Western Regions, and even my Yue's family, from a small rich family twenty years ago to tenants, isn't it the same as the Western Regions that caused the harm? Huashigang harmed the people of Jiangnan again. This person has been the Son of Heaven for decades, but can he do a good deed that is beneficial to the people? Looking at Qinzong again, he was ordered to be in danger, but he didn't know how to make every effort to govern the country and strengthen the army, but he was mistaken by the traitor Zhang Bangchang, degraded Li Gang Zongze, and looted the wealth of the people of Bianliang to donate gold. Because he couldn't find enough gold and silver, he actually sold Bianliang's children to the gold people at a price. It is strange that such a son of heaven is not captured by the enemy! As for King Kang, what he has done in the past two years, the children have all seen it, and they don't mention it. It's infuriating! ”

When Niu Gao heard this, he couldn't hold back anymore and praised loudly, "Yue Shuai finally told the truth. The father and son of the dog emperor don't have a good thing, they deserve to be captured by the Jinren! It's a pity that I have suffered the people of the Central Plains. I Lao Niu and Dong Xian occupied Erlong Mountain, and they never had the calculation of surrendering King Kang. Because the two of us really don't have a good impression of his old Zhao family. Godmother, I think Yue Shuai is right. ”

The mother-in-law said angrily, "You bull brute shut up as soon as possible!" Maybe it's Gorou who you and Ji Qian instigated. The two of you are used to being the king of the mountain. ”

Yue Fei knew that his mother was angry with Niu Gao Jiqian because she had nothing to say, and he couldn't help but feel a little funny in his heart. Yue Fei decided to strike while the iron was hot and persuaded his mother in one fell swoop. "The child loves the words of Yasheng Mengke the most, the people are precious, the community is secondary, and the king is light. Only a king who always has the people in his heart will be regarded as a king by a child. If you really can't find such a king, the child would rather there be no king in the Central Plains! The king is not a high god, but he is responsible to the people of the world because he receives the offerings of the people. On weekdays, he only knows the wives and daughters of the Yin people, and asks for money and food, but when the foreign enemy arrives, he walks away, leaving the people to be trampled on by the foreign enemy. In the name of luring the enemy deep, such a king can only be called scum! A true king should guard the kingdom and die because it is his duty. ”

The mother-in-law's face finally softened. At last he said, "Get up, all of you." Mother is old and confused, and she can no longer teach Gorou. ”

Yue Fei hurriedly got up from the ground, stepped forward and hugged his mother and said, "Whatever my mother says, you will always be the guiding light of the child." The valley is cold, let's go to the cave and talk again. He turned around and held the silver bottle in his arms, and said with a smile, "I can't open my eyes anymore." ”

The mother-in-law glanced at the moon in the sky, sighed, and suddenly asked again. "Although what Gorou said just now is reasonable, won't the Second Emperor Huiqin save it?"

Niu Gao whispered, "What are you doing to save them?" Rescue them and let them continue to work on Huashigang? ”

Yue Fei said with a straight face this time, "No matter how mediocre they are, they are also the kings of the people of my Central Plains." Jingkang's shame is not snowy, and the people of our emperor and Song Dynasty will never be able to raise their heads in front of the golden dog. Therefore, we not only have to defeat the Golden Dog in the Central Plains, but also go straight to the Huanglong Mansion, rescue the Second Emperor, and capture the chief of the Golden Dog. At that time, the people of our Emperor Song Dynasty will be able to regain the pride of the Heavenly Empire. ”

Niu Gao Jiqian Huo Rui heard Yue Fei say that he would go straight to the Huanglong Mansion, and he couldn't help but be enthusiastic, and said in unison, "I am willing to follow Yue Shuai (senior brother) to go straight to the Yellow Dragon and destroy the Jin Kingdom." ”

Yue Yun kept staring wide-eyed, listening to his father talking endlessly with his grandmother. Although he didn't understand a lot, he just thought his father was right. Seeing that several uncles were clamoring to destroy the Jin Kingdom, they couldn't help but shout loudly, "I'm going to smash that Huanglong too." ”

The mother-in-law touched Yue Yun's little brain and said, "Good boy, ambitious." ”

The cave was extremely simple, and the simple living utensils made Niu Gao even more dramatic to apologize to Huo Rui. However, seeing more than a dozen air-dried pheasants and geese in the cave, Yue Fei held Huo Rui's hand and said in a low voice, "Senior brother, thank you." ”

Huo Rui smiled, "Why should Brother Yue be polite. Our senior brothers, when did you become so foreign? ”

Yue Fei didn't say anything more, just slapped Huo Rui's shoulder. "Senior brother, pack your luggage tomorrow, and let's respond to Tianfu to live."

The temperature inside the cave was much warmer than outside. As soon as the Yue Yun brothers and sisters came in, they collapsed on the simple bunk and fell asleep. Yue Fei and the others were not sleepy. The mother-in-law began to act like a normal mother, constantly asking about her son's experience in the past two years. When she heard that Li Bashao of Yingtianfu had broken his family and formed an army, his mother-in-law couldn't help but clap her hands and praise, this Li Bashao is a rich man with a conscience, much stronger than the Han family in Xiangzhou.

Yue Fei told his mother about his marriage with Li Xiao'e. The mother-in-law smiled, "I said it a long time ago. Your marriage is up to you. But I still hope you find a better stepmother for Yun'er and Yinhua. These two children have suffered a lot of sins in the past two years. ”

When Niu Gao heard this, he hurriedly confessed again. "Godmother, it's all my fault. If I hadn't taken Senior Brother Huo's cottage, you wouldn't have lived in such a cave. Alas, I should have hit. ”

Although the mother-in-law used to look at Niu Gao unpleasantly, she was not disgusted with Mrs. Niu. That day, Mrs. Niu repeatedly persuaded her to live in the cottage, saying that she wanted to be sisters and sisters. Although the mother-in-law refused, she has always been very grateful to Mrs. Niu. Now that I know that Niu Gao has become Yue Fei's right-hand man, my mother-in-law is also pleasing to Niu Gao, and of course I miss the simple old man Niu even more.

"Niu Gao, it's only been a month since you took the cottage. Don't take the blame on yourself again and again. By the way, when ** mother called me to be my sister, I didn't respond. When I arrive at Erlong Mountain tomorrow, I will definitely call your mother sister first. ”

As soon as the mother-in-law said this, Niu Gao was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth. "That's a good feeling. Godmother, you don't know, my mother lives very lonely in the mountains, and she can't find anyone to talk to, so she always talks about you. Let's move to Erlong Mountain tomorrow, godmother, do you think it's good? ”

Yue Fei was afraid that his mother would not allow it, so he hurriedly said, "Mother, it's September now." According to the information received by the child, the Golden Dog army is about to attack again. The golden dog comes from a bitter cold land, and is afraid of heat and cold. The season of freezing snow is the time when the golden dog is fierce. We must return to Yingtianfu as soon as possible. Now that the Protectors have become a thorn in the side of the Golden Dog, the defenses must be rearranged. ”

Of course, the mother-in-law understands her son's painstaking efforts. Besides, this is too far to go up, and she is tired of it. Even if she doesn't get tired of living, Yue Yunyue's three children can't stand it. After living in the mountains for more than a month, he reduced the weight of the three children to bamboo poles. If it comes to the cold winter when birds and beasts are gathering, I can't imagine how to live. So the mother-in-law immediately nodded and said, "Then leave early tomorrow morning." Fei'er, you go and rest first. Tomorrow I will move, but there will be a lot of things to take with me in the cave. ”
