Chapter 459 On meritorious deeds, reward the Yue family immortals and chicken dogs, and look down on fame and fortune heroes and return to the mountains and forests

It is said that Xiaozong listened to Niu Gao's words and felt that it was very reasonable, he agreed to Niu Gao's request, Niu Gao retreated incognito, and the candlelight was lit again. Gojong looked inside the room and nothing had changed. In the evening, Xiaozong thought about the issue of rewarding meritorious officials over and over again, and in terms of merit, Wang Zipeng was the greatest, but he didn't want to be an official. Guo Xiaotian, Yang Tiexin and others have made outstanding achievements, but they are as reluctant to be officials as Wang Zipeng. The rest are Yue Lei and his brothers, as well as Lu Wenhu, Yan Chengfang, Fan Cheng, Guan Ling and others, they are all very successful, what should be done about their rewards? If they don't want to be officials, what title should they be given? After a night of thinking, he still couldn't make up his mind. "It's better to ask for the opinions of civil and military officials first. Listen to what they have to offer. Xiaozong pondered in his heart.

In the early dynasty, Xiaozong summoned all the civil and military ministers and meritorious generals to the Jinluan Palace, and the civil and military officials finished their congratulations and stood on both sides.

"Ladies and gentlemen, last night the supervising army Niu Gao dreamed of me, and asked me to reward the meritorious ministers, the military and political secretary Yamen has shown me the list, I know that there are many people who have made meritorious contributions to the north this time, and I don't know how to reward them? I would also like to ask you to express your opinions. Xiaozong asked straight to the point.

"Saint, meritorious ministers should be rewarded, according to the old ministers, first chase the heroes who died on the battlefield, such as Lu Wenhu, Niu Gao, Zhou Qing, Liang Xing and other generals, they have experienced countless battles and made a lot of meritorious contributions. Niu Gao personally beheaded the Golden Vulture with his own hands, and his merits were great, and Lu Wenhu died in the Fire Cloud Array, his spirit was commendable, and they should receive the highest honor. Han Shizhong came out of the class and said.

"Yue Lei, Yue Ting, Yue Lin, Niu Tong, Zong Liang, Yang Jizhou and other major generals, this time to sweep the north, the credit is very great, should be rewarded, they are the mainstay of the Great Song Dynasty, should be entrusted with important tasks." Zhang Jiucheng played. "Yes, the Yue family's army swept the north this time, regained the lost territory, and forced the Jin State to bow down and become a vassal, and the credit is in Sheji. It should be rewarded. The ministers echoed in unison.

Xiaozong saw the word of the people, understood the admiration of the civil and military officials for the Yue family's army, and in order to win the hearts of the people, he decided to add officials to the heroes. "What you Aiqing said is exactly what I think, the success of sweeping the north, the Yue family's military achievements are indestructible. I talk about meritorious deeds: Wang Aiqing is Yue Fei's younger brother Yue Teng, he led Yue Lei, Yue Ting, Yue Lin brothers for the Great Song Dynasty and the Song Dynasty, born and died, I decided to demolish Qin Hui's mansion to rebuild the palace, Wang Aiqing is the king of freedom, unwilling to stay in Lin'an. It is up to him to choose. The palace was given to Yue Lei's brothers and the Yue family's family to live in. Yue Fei is loyal to the country. Feng Wu Muhou. Rebuild the temple, build the shrine of loyalty and filial piety, and be sacrificed by all the people. Xiaozong said in front of the civil and military officials.

Wang Zipeng, Yue Lei and others knelt down together to thank the emperor.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, the ministers came over to congratulate Wang Zipeng and the Yue brothers. The brothers of the Yue family returned the gift one by one.

Let's say that after Xiaozong retired from the dynasty. The Ministry of Transmission will dismantle the foundation of the Qin Hui Mansion and rebuild the palace, and then pass the decree to build the temple of King Yue and the shrine of loyal ministers under the Qixia Ridge. On the one hand, an auspicious day was chosen to bury the emperor and queen Zi Palace. Awarded gold and silver satin and the envoy of the Jin State to return to the Jin Kingdom. Everything was in order, and Xiaozong summoned Han Shizhong, Zhang Jiusi, Zhang Jiucheng, Zhou Wei, Zhang Wenda, Zhang Xin and other ministers to discuss the specific matters of the reward. After some exchanges, a consensus was reached. According to the agreement of the ministers, Xiaozong issued a holy decree and ordered the Qin to send the decree to various places. The emperor sent the inner eunuch to the palace where the Yue family lived with the holy decree in his hand.

Mrs. Li, Mrs. Gong, Yue Lei, Yue Ting, Yue Lin brothers and all the young generals. Went out of the house together and knelt down to listen to the reading. The inner supervisor read aloud:

The ministers of Van Er, whose benefits encourage loyalty, use the security of the community. Chin this! "The inner supervisor read the holy decree, and the Yue family and the generals shouted long live and knelt down to thank the emperor. Yue Lei took the holy decree and bowed again.

Speaking of which, a few words of verbose. The emperor's decree did not mention Gao Feng, Yang Hong, Wang Zipeng, Guo Xiaotian, Yang Tiexin, Zhang Yuan and others, so let's explain it here. After Gao Feng and Yang Hong helped Wang Zipeng sweep the north, he retired and went to Wudang Mountain and the Iron Umbrella Dao people to continue to participate in Zen and enlightenment, practice martial arts, and rise of the Mongolian people in the future, establish the Yuan Dynasty, attack the Great Song Dynasty, Gao Feng and Yang Hong were ordered to go down the mountain, unfortunately they were ambushed on the way and died in the arrows. Wang Zipeng, Guo Xiaotian, Yang Tiexin, Zhang Yuan and Princess Roufu went to Songshan. Wang Zipeng and Princess Roufu lived in the grass house at the foot of the mountain, raising their two sons Wang Fei and Wang Teng. Alone went to Shaolin Temple to find his brothers Guo Xiaotian and Yang Tiexin, who knew that the two of them did not know where to go, he was discouraged, so he had to lead the practice in Shaolin Temple, and soon passed away. Zhang Yuan has always stayed by Princess Roufu's side and has been taking care of Zhang Shengnan's son. Upon learning of Wang Zipeng's death, he also became depressed and died soon after. Only Guo Xiaotian and Yang Tiexin are in exile and do not know where to go.
