The people in the court were swept away, leaving only Zhuo Yan and Yue Shao'an. Seeing Zhuo Yan's face full of dust, Yue Shaoan pulled him to the middle, pointed to the geographical map of mountains and rivers, and said, "Okay, after this is done, our plan can be implemented." ”

"Is Mr. Yue really planning to attack Dali?" Zhuo Yan, who has always been unsmiling, was also full of spring breeze and said, "It's so good." On the way back, I was still a little worried that Mr. Yue would not be able to withstand the pressure of the Chinese warriors in the city, but now it seems that these worries are superfluous. ”

Yue Shaoan shook his head and said, "No, your concern is right. Even now, I am still a little worried that if everyone in the city can't work together, then we will be constrained in everything. When the time comes, I'm afraid it won't be good for the war. ”

Zhuo Yan stared at the figure made of sandpaper for a long time, nodded thoughtfully, and said, "This must indeed be a problem, but it is not very difficult to do this. ”

"Oh?" Yue Shaoan's eyes lit up and said, "Do you have a way?" ”

Zhuo Yan nodded and whispered a few words in Yue Shao'an's ear. Yue Shaoan nodded again and again, and said, "When this matter is decided, I can rest assured." Let's go, go see the people you brought back. ”

The two of them walked out and went straight to the post house in the Song Shi's mansion to receive guests, and the post house was unusually quiet. In the west wing, there was a person sitting there quietly, with a sad face on his face, and in his thoughts, there seemed to be some faint worry, and even restless. This man is thirty years old, and his appearance is quite handsome. It was Jin Mao who had fought with Niu Qing when the emperor was in the south of Song Shicheng. After he was pitted by Niu Qing and Zhang Fan with countermeasures, he has never been reused, and after the emperor's defeat, he was degraded again and again, and now the whole person has only been left with an idle job, eating at home and waiting for death.

After Yue Shao'an learned of his situation, he asked Zhuo Yan to lure him down. In his opinion, Yue Shao'an is a thief, although he admires the achievements of Yue Shao'an's Northern Expedition very much. However, he was a little ashamed of what Yue Shaoan did later, but after he was ostracized, he also experienced the warmth and coldness of human feelings, and somewhat understood Yue Shaoan's behavior at that time. Of course, this alone is not enough to persuade him to surrender. However, this person still has a weakness, that is, he is very affectionate, Zhuo Yan was familiar with him after many days in Hangzhou City, and after getting acquainted, the two often drank and talked, and when they went on a trip. Zhuo Yan secretly took his mother, wife and children out of the city, and sent them back to Song Shicheng quickly, so that although Jin Mao was still unwilling to surrender, he agreed to follow Zhuo Yan to come.

Although the Song Shifu is only a mansion, it covers a huge area, so there is still some distance from the council hall to the post house. Yue Shao'an and Zhuo Yan rode side by side, and along the way, Zhuo Yan told Yue Shao'an about the passage of Hangzhou City. Although it has been clearly explained in the letter, it is more detailed in person.

Yue Shao'an listened while thinking about how to persuade Jin Mao to surrender, although the person had already brought it, the difficulty of persuasion was much lower. However, in the end, he needed to do it himself.

Entering the post house, Yue Shaoan came straight to the door of the wing room, and Zhuo Yan stepped forward and knocked on the door. There was a rush of footsteps inside, and then, the door was slammed open, and Jin Mao said with an angry face: "Zhuo Yan, didn't you say that you would arrange for me to meet my family as soon as I arrived in Song Shicheng?" I've been waiting here for nearly two hours, why haven't people arrived, what do you mean? ”

Zhuo Yan showed a smile and said, "Brother Jin, don't worry. It is my Mr. Yue who admires Brother Jin's talent, so I want to meet you. Later, I will bring Ling Ci and his sister-in-law to meet Brother Jin. ”

"Yue Shao'an?" Jin Mao was surprised: "Where is he?" ”

Yue Shao'an stepped forward, hugged his fists, and said: "Below, I have heard the name of General Jin for a long time, and when I saw it today, he really looked dignified and had the air of a hero." ”

Jin Mao looked Yue Shao'an up and down, and saw that the person in front of him was in his twenties, with fair skin and handsome appearance. He couldn't help but gasp, Yue Shao'an had been famous for many years, he never thought that Yue Shao'an would be so young, he couldn't help but be even more surprised, and for a while he actually looked back at the gift. When Yue Shao'an's voice fell, he reacted, hurriedly returned the salute, and said: "The emperor is polite, in the next nobody, how dare a mere name enter the ears of the emperor." I also hope that the emperor will raise his noble hand and release the old mother, wife and children below. I can't thank you enough......"

Yue Shao'an laughed and said, "General Jin is really fast-talking. However, where does the word release begin? Song Shicheng has never restricted the freedom of Mrs. Zun and his stepmother, how can it be said to be a release? ”

"Stepmother?" Jin Mao was confused and looked towards Zhuo Yan. Zhuo Yan was also unsure, and looked at Yue Shao'an again.

Yue Shao'an looked at the two of them, smiled, and said, "Before he could explain to General Jin in a hurry, Zhuo Yan had just arrived, so he didn't know." Let's go, let's talk as we go. As he spoke, Yue Shao'an waved his hand lightly outside, and someone took the horses, and the three of them turned over and got on their horses, and Yue Shao'an led the way towards the backyard of Song Shifu.

On the way, Yue Shaoan told the two of them what happened. It turned out that after Zhuo Yan sent someone to send Jin Mao's wife and mother that day, Yue Shaoan arranged for Ruan Lianxin to receive him. Although Mrs. Jin is not very old, she is very virtuous, and Jin Mao's mother is also very kind. After Ruan Lianxin received her, Qian Duoduo took the initiative to help her take care of the two. Although Qian Duoduo is young, he was born in a businessman's family, and he is also very knowledgeable about people, so it didn't take long for him to get along with the two of them. The old lady is such a son, she has no daughter, and after she has a daughter-in-law, she will be hurt by her daughter. Now I am even happier to have a righteous daughter, and Qian Duoduo has not had a mother since he was a child, so it didn't take long for the mother-daughter relationship to be deep, and it became a family. Yue Shao'an also called his stepmother with Qian Duoduo.

Jin Mao cares about his family, sees each other heartily, and travels very fast along the way. Soon came to the backyard door, but although he was anxious, he also saw that this was the place where Yue Shao'an's family was doing the bureau, and it was not easy to get in, so he jumped off the horse, bowed and saluted, and said: "The tired emperor invites his mother and his wife and children to come out to meet." ”

Yue Shao'an nodded, instructed a female guard in front of the door, and said, "Go and tell Madame, let them invite the old woman and Mrs. Sister-in-law to come out and meet General Jin." ”

Not long after the guards left, they saw the golden mother being surrounded by all the women and came slowly, and the maids behind were lined up on both sides, which was extremely spectacular. When Jin Mao saw his mother, he hurriedly stepped forward, "Poof! He knelt down, wept, and said, "The son is not filial, and it is the fault of the son that even the mother suffers." ”

Yue Shao'an also followed to greet him, saluted slightly, and called: "I've seen my stepmother." ”

The old lady first smiled and returned the salute to Yue Shao'an, then looked at her son and said, "What's wrong with my son?" Suffering for your mother? The emperor treats his mother very well, how can he say that he suffers? ”

Yue Shaoan looked at Qian Duoduo, who was accompanying the old lady, beckoned gently, and said, "Duoduo, you come." ”

Qian Duoduo walked slowly, gave a gentle salute, and said, "Duoduo has seen my husband." ”

Yue Shaoan smiled and said: "Didn't you say it a long time ago, our family doesn't like this, okay, you go and arrange it, let General Jin and the old lady have a good talk." ”

"I understand!" Qian Duoduo met Yue Shao'an's sweet smile, and then ordered someone to send the old lady to a room that had been vacated in advance. After Yue Shaoan handed over the matter to his wife, he left with Zhuo Yan with confidence and went to do his own business.

Here, Jin Mao's mother and son, who had settled down, sat quietly in the house. Mrs. Kim retreated with her infant son in her arms, leaving only Jin Mao and his mother in the house.

There were no outsiders, Jin Mao's face became solemn, and said: "Mother, then Yue Shao'an let people deceive his mother and Zong Niang here, you won't fail to see his intentions, right?" How can he still recognize his wife as a righteous daughter? ”

Mother Jin looked at her son, sighed softly, and said, "Why can't you see it for your mother." But the emperor's wife is so subservient, how can she shirk it as a mother, besides, that child is really cute. ”

"Mother-" Jin Mao called out a little helplessly, and the tail note dragged on quite long, which made people listen to it, showing his helpless emotions.

Mother Jin looked at her son, her face was straight, and she said: "Actually, when Na Zhuoyan sent someone to invite Wei Niang and Su Niang, Wei Niang saw his thoughts. ”

"Then why would his mother still follow him?" Jin Mao said, standing up abruptly, his face unbelievable.

Mother Jin looked at her son kindly and said, "Isn't it for you to do this for your mother?" Saying that, Jin Mu sighed lightly and said, "Since the faint king relegated you to your home, you have been depressed, and your mother sees it in your eyes and hurts in your heart. The emperor is known as benevolence and righteousness. Even if it is a rebellion, he is forced by the faint king, since he is so talented, you come here, he will definitely not treat you badly. ”

"I also know what my mother said, but no matter how I say it, Yue Shao'an is also burdened with the name of a rebellion. If I vote for him, I'm afraid our Jin family will bear the name of a traitor. ”

"Rebellion?" Jin Mu chuckled and said, "Your father is so smart, how did he raise such a foolish son as you." ”

"What did Mother say?"

"Since ancient times, the founding emperors, which did not start from rebellion. Li Yuan in the Tang Dynasty was not a rebel, and there were many ministers of the Great Sui who took refuge in him, who said that they were traitors? Jin Mu stretched out her hand and pointed at her son's head, and said, "Not to mention, it is that Emperor Taizu of the Great Song Dynasty did not bully the orphans and widows of the Zhou family, but actually stood on his own?" At that time, weren't Dang Jin, Cao Bin, Pan Mei and others Zhou generals? It's not that he followed him as a traitor, and now which of these people dares to say that he is a traitor? You are really a mouse-eyed, besides, the emperor has just reconciled with the imperial court, how can he use troops against the imperial court, he is so anxious about this expedition, he must have the idea of mobilizing troops, but Wei Niang thinks that he is most likely to use troops is Dali. You helped him conquer Dali, how can it be considered treason. If Dali is conquered, the emperor will be able to stand on his own feet at that time. If the founding of the country is a struggle between the two countries, how can there be rebellion......"

"Mother-I ......"

"That's all for my mother, as for whether you listen or not, it's up to you to think about it."

"Mother's ......"

"Song Shicheng is an ideal place for the rest of his life. My mother has decided to stay here, if you don't want to stay, take your wife and children with you. I don't think the emperor will embarrass me as an old woman. ”

"Mother's ......"

"Okay, you go and accompany your mother. I'm tired of my mother and want to rest. ”

Jin Mao was reprimanded and walked out of the house in disgrace. Outside the house, his wife was quietly waiting for him with her son in her arms, and when she saw him come out, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth and she slowly leaned over.

Jin Mao stretched out his hand and took her into his arms, and asked softly, "Mother has decided to stay here, what do you think?" ”

Mrs. Jin raised her eyes, looked at him, and said, "Marrying a chicken is a chicken, how does the husband decide, the concubine will follow the husband, and everything is arranged by the husband." No matter what the husband decides, the concubine can only obey and not do what he wants......"

Jin Mao slowly raised his head and looked towards the sky above. Above the sky, there was not a single cloud in the blue sky, and the sun was shining obliquely, indicating that the sun had set to the west. Life is like the sun, from early morning to dusk, the brightest, the hottest time, but only at noon, when it is dusk, what else can be done? I can only take a picture of the sunset. Although Jin Mao is now at noon, but it is blocked by the clouds, and it cannot make others do their best, after thinking for a long time, he slowly lowered his head and sighed softly......
