Zong Ze is a native of Yiwu, Wuzhou, East Zhejiang Road. According to Zong Ze's last wish, after tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Changsha City withdrew to Yueyang, his subordinates Hu Yancisheng supported Zong Ze's coffin to continue to return to Yiwu.

Yue Fei regarded Zong Ze as a master and a father, and wanted to rush to Yiwu in person, but was stopped by everyone. Just kidding, if the news of Yue Fei's trip to Yiwu spreads, Zhao Gou will probably send all the soldiers and horses to Yiwu to encircle and suppress Yue Fei, which will only make Zong Ze under Jiuquan feel uneasy.

In the end, after deliberation, Yue Fei decided to send his brother Yue Pan to escort Zong Pan to Yiwu. As Zong Ze's only eldest grandson, Zong Pan has been working in Ying Tianfu for the past few months, acting as Ying Tiantong's judge. Although Yue Flip's martial arts are not very proficient, with the addition of three hundred elites, it is enough to deal with most of the homeless grass robbers. As for the imperial army, it will only risk the world to deal with Yue Fei, and as for Yue Fei, it is not enough in Zhao Gou's heart.

Zong Pan went from Yingtianfu to Xuzhou, rendezvous with Yue, and then rushed to Yiwu along the Yangtze River waterway. At the same time, Ying Tianfu also held a sacrificial event that lasted for three days. In the center of the martyr's cemetery, Yue Fei built a clothed mound for Zong Ze, and personally wrote seven big characters with a big gun on the tombstone, "The tomb of Grace Master Zong Rulin." Then he sacrificed to the son, and at the same time invited several senior monks of the Great Xiangguo Temple to chant and sing poems, so as to be loyal to the spirit of Anzongze.

In front of the mound of clothes, there are indescribable people who come to offer incense every day. The literati respect Zong Ze's backbone, and the squires respect Zong Ze's incorruptibility. The generals respect Zong Ze's iron bones, and the people respect Zong Ze's love for the people like sons. In the entire martyr's cemetery, cigarette smoke curls all day long. And inside and outside Yingtianfu, there are many people who wear linen and carry filial piety. The Chinese people are the most realistic, and whoever is really good to them will be offered to their hearts.

Zhao Gou in Yangzhou City was suspicious of Zong Ze, but as soon as Zong Ze died, Changsha City fell into the hands of Zhong Xiang, and the momentum of Amitabha Buddhism shook Jiangnan, but it made this new emperor a little uneasy. In particular, he learned that even Zhong Xiang paid tribute to Zong Ze's body, and Yue Fei of Ying Tianfu built a mound for Zong Ze, which made Zhao Gou both ashamed and angry.

He believes that the reason why Zhong Xiang and Yue Fei worship Zong Ze under false pretense is just to buy the hearts of the people in the world. Because the prestige of this old man in the world is too high. Since this is the case, of course, Zhao Gou will not be stingy with a nickname. Immediately sent the important minister Zhao Ding as an envoy, rushed to Yiwu to mourn Zong Ze, and gave Zong Ze a nickname, saying that he was loyal to Jane. In order to show his pain over Zong Ze's death, Zhao Gou also ordered all the people of Yangzhou City to wear linen for Zong Ze for three days, and at the same time he was vegetarian in the palace for seven days.

It's a pity that no matter how good Zhao Go's performance is, the people in the world are not blind. Although Yue Fei did not order the people of Ying Tianfu to wear linen, and he did not have a vegetarian for seven days, everyone knew that Yue Fei was extremely sad about Zong Ze's death, while that vegetarian son was extremely happy.

Soon, in the land of the Central Plains, a brand new storytelling "The Biography of Zong Ze" spread in the mouths of storytellers. Zong Ze's unwillfulness in his life is also expressed with stories.

"Zong Zedian tried to reprimand his friends." "Zongze Pavilion Tao Ren County Order." "Zong Ze is righteous to save the river workers." "Zong Ze Dengzhou saves all the people." Zong Ze angrily reprimanded Lin Lingsu. These stories, which are based on Zong Ze's life experience, quickly spread in the hearts of the people. Of course, what is heavily publicized must be the story of Zong Ze's anti-gold in his later years. "Zhan Ci State, Zhan Xiang State, Zhan Slip State, Zhan Bianliang." Zong Ze's four battles to relieve the siege of Bianliang were widely publicized, and at the same time, in these stories, Zhao Gou, the son of heaven, was promoted as a villain who abandoned his father and brother and did not save him, and was afraid of gold like a tiger.

"Whew! What kind of bullshit is that. His father and brother didn't dare to save it, and his mother and sisters didn't dare to save it, just for the sake of a throne, even his conscience was eaten by dogs. ”

In the Bianliang teahouse, a drinker said indignantly.

Another drinker said in a more contemptuous tone, "If his father and brother interfered with his throne, then Li Make, the boatman who helped him cross the river, saved his life." But in order to deify himself, this bastard actually poisoned his life-saving benefactor and made a myth of crossing the river with a mud horse. It's so vicious and shameless. ”

It turned out that Zhao Gou went to Jinying as a hostage, although he was persuaded back by Zong Ze halfway. But the Jin soldiers chased after him, and the boatman Li Ma crossed the river with Zhao Gou on his back before escaping the Jin soldiers. In order to cover himself with a layer of mystery, Zhao Gou used poison to mute Li Ma, and then fabricated a myth of a mud horse crossing the river. This myth could not blind many generals at the time.

Now that the Protector Army and Zhao Gou can no longer coexist, Yue Fei is of course no longer polite, and orders Xu Jinshi to find someone who can speak the Tao in the Secret Intelligence Division, and use Zhao Gou's various traps to explain it in a storytelling speech. The common people love to hear about these imperial scandals.

In the area under the jurisdiction of the Protector Army, speech is very free, which can be said to be more free than during the reign of Renzong. Although the Zhao and Song royal families have the highest degree of freedom compared to other dynasties, it does not mean that there is no literary prison. Su Dongpo was falsely accused of committing a crime just because he wrote a few poems, and almost died in prison. Yue Fei not only canceled the kneeling ceremony in the jurisdiction, but also vigorously preached the injustice, and no matter the common people and scribes, they could freely discuss the world's major affairs. As long as he does not violate the criminal law and does not maliciously attack others, he is not guilty. Because of this, the people of the Central Plains, who were already bold in their speeches, became more and more bold. Not only did they dare to talk about Zhao Go's various scandals, but they even dared to make up Yue Fei's lace news at will.

For example, Yue Fei's ex-wife Liu is a taboo in the People's Protector Army, and no one will take the initiative to mention this woman who abandoned Yue Fei. But the people talked about it. In fact, this is also a kind of compensatory psychology of the masses. Although the people of the Central Plains respect Yue Fei, they see that Yue Fei is now in the hall and has great power, and his father-in-law Li Bashao is the richest man in Yingtian, they always feel that Yue Fei is too favored by God, so they look for a little balance in their daily conversations.

But don't look at the people who don't seem to respect Yue Fei, but if others dare to say that Yue Fei is not good, they will be beaten by the people immediately. A medicinal herb merchant from Dali was in the Bianliang Restaurant, because he saw the drinkers talking about Yue Fei, he just interjected, saying that it might be Yue Fei who abandoned the Liu family, and he was immediately beaten by a group of drinkers in the building, if it wasn't for the guards patrolling the street to stop it, maybe the medicinal herb merchant would have been killed.

The theory of the people of the Central Plains is that we can talk about Yue Shuai, because we are in the same country as Yue Shuai and are Yue Shuai's family. You, a southern barbarian, dare to talk about Yue Shuai, aren't you looking for death!

It is for this reason that although some Confucian scholars wrote books to Yue Fei, hoping to strictly prohibit the people at the bottom from discussing Yue Fei's private affairs, they were always laughed off by Yue Fei. Yue Fei said to Huang Zong, these Confucian scholars are like this, they always want to cover the mouths of the common people in the world, and only allow them to speak by themselves. Hey, but I don't know that the mouth of the people is like the defense of the river. I don't care what other people do. Anyway, under my system, the speaker is not guilty.

When Yue Fei's words came out, many restaurants and teahouses deliberately posted four big words in conspicuous places, "The speaker is not guilty." "To show strong support for Yue Fei.

It is precisely because on the one hand to control the speech and on the other hand to let go of the speech, in the matter of Zong Ze's death, the Protector Army won all the sympathy to its side. Because the propaganda of the imperial court always puts Zhao Gou in the first place, and the propaganda of the Protector Army puts Zong Ze in the first place. Don't talk about Zhao Gou, even Yue Fei is just a foil in Zong Ze's biography. Such a storytelling with distinct characters is most popular with the people.

When Zong Ze's body was solemnly buried in Yiwu, the people of the world also engraved this iron-clad old man on their hearts with the popularity of "The Biography of Zong Ze".

Even if Zhao Gou was thunderous in the palace in Yangzhou, he still became an ungrateful person who poisoned Li Ma. At the same time, many heroes in the Jiangnan area who were interested in killing the enemy also began to transfer the destination of the army from Yangzhou to Bianliang. No one wants to follow an ungrateful villain. Zong Ze only taught Yue Fei for a few months, and promoted him several times, Yue Fei served him with his father's courtesy, and such a handsome man who values love and righteousness is what the heroes are willing to follow.

"Yue Fei is a reincarnated Wang Mang, who is completely hypocritical. If he really regards Zong Rulin as a teacher, he shouldn't take advantage of the death of his mentor to wantonly smear me. When Zhao Gou learned that the news of his poisoning of Li Ma had spread all over the world, he couldn't help but be annoyed and angry, and said indignantly in the palace. Although Yue Fei did not discredit Zhao Gou, he just truthfully announced what Zhao Gou had done.

At that time, Qin Hui was the only one who accompanied him in the palace. In just a few months, Qin Hui has become Zhao Gou's most trusted courtier by virtue of his appearance. Seeing Zhao Gou's distorted face with anger, Qin Hui smiled slightly, knelt down and said, "Why should the official family be angry with that traitor!" No matter how much he smears the official family, the people of the world still serve the official family as the right one. No matter how capable Yue Yi is, he is also a courtier under the official family. At least nominally. Now in the hot summer, the Jin soldiers retreated to Yanyun, Hebei West Road is in a power vacuum, General Wang Yan can not sit in Cizhou, Weichen heard that Yue Rebellious's general Liang Xing Zhao Yun occupied the Daimyo's Mansion, Bi Jin occupied the calf village, Mr. Chuang occupied Weizhou, the entire Hebei West Road is full of Yue Rebellious people, General Wang Yan must take the initiative to attack, even if he can't take the Niu Gao, but he must take one or two states and counties, so as to live up to the trust of the officials. ”

Zhao Gou said dejectedly, "This Wang Yan, in vain I value him so much!" Isn't he the No. 1 hero of the Two Rivers? How can you not even deal with a little-known cow gao? ”

Qin Hui advised, "The official family doesn't need to be angry. Although Wang Yan did not defeat Niu Gao, he also prevented Niu Gao's power from expanding. The main reason is that the people's livelihood on Hebei West Road is withered, the city is dilapidated, there is not enough food, grass and armor, and General Wang is a god, but also a clever woman is difficult to cook without rice. If you want General Wang to do something, the official family will either send a few more batches of grain and grass to General Wang, or transfer the marshal Quduan of Jingyuan Road to the east, and rely on the world's elite western army to defeat the Yue rebels on the Hebei West Road. ”

Zhao Gou perked up and said, "Not bad." Since that Qu Daring asked to transfer troops east to Luoyang a few days ago, and encircled and suppressed Yan Lou's room. Now I granted his request. Although Wanyan Lou's room is no longer in Luoyang, Yue Wei is in Luoyang. I will give Qu Duan an order tomorrow and ask him to prepare to lead his army eastward. ”

Qin Hui mentioned gloomily, "Officials must beware of this song boldly resisting and disobeying the order!" ”

Zhao Gou said coldly, "He dares!" ”

It turned out that Qu Duan was arrogant and untamed, with an iron backbone, and he had never been liked by Zhao Gou. When Wanyan Lou Room attacked Luoyang, Qu Duan sent someone to the imperial court, wanting to lead the army east into Shaanzhou and intercept the return route of Yan Lou Room. As a result, the emperor, who was expected to annihilate Yue Fei after Yan Lou's room, came to a cold treatment and did not reply. Now seeing that the Jin soldiers can't help the people's army, and the strength of the imperial court is too thin in the Central Plains, if you wait for the Jin soldiers to attack in winter, maybe the hearts of the entire Central Plains people have been returned to Yue Fei. So Zhao Gou decided to pass a message to Quduan Feige and ordered him to go east.

But what Zhao Zhi didn't expect was that Qu Duan was really like what Qin Hui said, and he didn't obey the order. Qu Duan said in his reply, "Now that more than 100,000 people are captured in Western Xia, if the last general leads his troops to the east, Shaanxi will not return to the Emperor and Song Dynasty!" The people of Shaanxi have become shepherd slaves in Western Xia. And when it is a hot summer, a long-distance march is tantamount to asking for a dead end. For the emperor and Song Dynasty, for the people of Shaanxi, for the soldiers under his command, the ministers dare not obey the edict! ”

The first moment Zhao Gou received the reply, he overturned the imperial case. "Traitor! It's all a bunch of traitors! My Zhao family has raised you for more than 100 years, but now they are all attacking my Zhao family, all of them should be damned! ”
