Chapter 66: Ambition is hard to pay, Yue Fei returns home

The young hero's ambition is difficult to pay, and the pride runs through the bullfight; The blood and liver are clear, and it is difficult to tolerate the annihilation of the party. The sadness and parting heart are broken, and there is no way to serve the country; What do you know about the great use of geniuses? Who said that Li Guang would not be a marquis!

It is said that after Zong Ze settled down and surrendered the troops, he led the army back to the capital, and the Yue Fei brothers rode horses and walked side by side around Zong Ze, and the people of the capital welcomed them.

Zong Ze led the five brothers to dismount outside the noon gate.

"Xianqi, you will wait outside the noon gate first, and then make plans after I have seen Banzai and played this matter." Zong Ze said.

"Do as your teacher commands." Yue Fei said.

Zong Ze entered the court, prostrated the golden steps and said: "Weichen Zong Ze was called to lead the troops to retreat from the thieves, because the soldiers were outnumbered, they were surrounded by the thieves and almost died, but fortunately, the five Yue Fei brothers in Tangyin County entered the siege and sacrificed their lives to save each other, and Weichen picked up a life. The Yue Fei brothers were all good at kung fu, and they entered the thief camp, as if they were in a no-man's land, they killed the thief leader Wang Shan, the military advisor Deng Cheng, and Tian Qi, and captured the pioneer Ma Bao, and the partial generals He Liu and He Qi. With the assistance of the five brothers, Weichen won a complete victory, surrendered more than 10,000 troops, and collected countless carts, horses, grain, grass, and weapons. Yue Fei's brothers were originally Tangyin martial artists, all of them were excellent in martial arts, especially Yue Fei, who was all-round in civil and military affairs, led troops in a good way, and used soldiers like gods, comparable to Han Xin and Jiang Wei. This person is the pillar of the country, and he can reach thousands of troops, and the emperor must keep this person. ”

Song Huizong was overjoyed when he heard this, and said: "Aiqing is flat, you have a meritorious service in retreating from the thief, and the merit lies in the community, and you have worked hard." Spread my will: Brother Xuan Yue Fei went to the palace to see the driver. ”

The propagandist agreed, and immediately came to the noon gate to deliver the message.

Brother Yue Fei listened, handed over the horse to Zong Ze's men, and came to the top of the main hall with the herald, prostrated down the golden steps, and shouted three long live.

Song Huizong saw that these five young people were heroic and sassy, and he liked it very much, but they had not yet achieved fame, and they were some young people, so he didn't know what official benefits he would give them?

"Zhang Aiqing, Brother Yue Fei has made such great achievements, what official position should be given to them?" Song Huizong looked at Zhang Bangchang and asked.

Zhang Bangchang was flattered when he saw that the emperor was asking for his own intentions, and hurriedly prostrated himself on the golden steps and said: "Your Majesty, Yue Fei is five people, if you talk about thieves, you can be a big official; It's just that Yue Fei used to pick up King Xiaoliang on the school field, and his brothers took the lead in making trouble on the school field and messed up the martial arts examination, they are guilty. In my opinion, if they make up for their merits, they will be named Chengxinlang, and they will be rewarded separately after they have made great contributions. ”

Song Huizong listened to it and felt that it made sense, so he allowed it to play.

"Your Majesty, Yue Fei's spear picking King Xiaoliang is not only innocent, but also meritorious. King Xiaoliang colluded with the Taihang bandit Kou to subvert the imperial court and seek to seize the throne. The reason why he is determined to win the title of champion is that his purpose is to become the generalissimo of soldiers and horses, master the power of the army, and then cooperate with the Taihang bandit Kouli. Zong Ze said.

"Aiqing, is this true?" Huizong asked in amazement.

"Your Majesty, the sect is left behind without evidence, and it is not credible! Xiaoliang Wang Gui is the prince, and he has received the emperor's favor, and it is too late to repay him, how can he collude with thieves to plot misdeeds? He must have wanted to exonerate Brother Yue Fei. Zhang Bangchang played.

"Zhang Aiqing is reasonable, Zong Aiqing, do you have evidence for Xiao Liangwang's conspiracy?" Huizong asked.

"Yes! In the past, it was said that Ma Bao, the small commander of the military department who forced Yue Fei's brothers to take away the Yue Fei brothers, was originally a vanguard officer under Wang Shan, and was brought into the capital by King Xiaoliang to do internal response. King Xiaoliang sent a night pearl to Wang Duo and sought a small commander for Ma Bao in the military department. Ma Bao has now been captured, and he can be passed in to confront him. Zong Ze said confidently.

Zhang Bangchang was speechless when he heard this.

Song Huizong was taken aback when he heard this.

"Zong Aiqing, Brother Yue Fei has indeed contributed a lot to eliminating hidden dangers for the imperial court, but my will has been made, and it is difficult to change it. I asked them to be aggrieved for the time being, and when they made a great contribution, they were rewarded together. They are all young and promising. Song Huizong said.

Zong Ze had no choice but to agree.

Brother Yue Fei had no choice but to thank him.

The emperor ordered the household department to collect some grain and grass, the military department settled and surrendered the troops, and the rest of the equipment and wealth were all put into storage.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Zong Ze and Yue Fei brothers went out of the noon gate together and rode back to the yamen left behind.

"Master Zong, what is the official position of Cheng Xinlang? What is the official rank? Niu Gao asked.

"Jiupin Sesame Official, equivalent to a master in the county." Zong Ze said.

"This emperor is too small, we have made such a great contribution, and only give us a nine-grade sesame official." Wang Gui said angrily.

"It's all Zhang Bangchang's annihilation of the ministers, the court has a person like him in power, jealous and jealous, how can the world be peaceful?" Tang Huai also complained in his heart.

"Xianqi, the old man thought that you could be up to the task this time, but who knows, Zhang Bangchang made a hindrance from it, in my opinion, you are not yet at this time, it is better to go back to the countryside for the time being to recuperate, and wait until the court is in urgent need of employment and then try to develop." Zong Ze said.

"My teacher is right, and I have the same plan. After being away from home for a long time, we were a little worried about home, so we retired first. Yue Fei said.

"My brother wanted to stay for a few days, but he couldn't earn fame for you, and he felt shameless. If you don't dislike it, follow me into the yamen to eat before leaving, even if it is practiced for you. Zong Ze said a little reluctantly.

Seeing Zong's sincerity, Brother Yue Fei had no choice but to agree.

The brothers came to stay at the yamen, and Zong Ze ordered a banquet to be set up, because everyone was unhappy, and it seemed a little unpleasant to eat.

"Xianqi, I am really a little reluctant to leave you, but now that the ministers are in charge, and the lord is covered with dust, you stay in the capital for fear that someone will cause harm and cause trouble, so I dare not stay with you. After eating, the old man will send you out of the city, and I will explain to the emperor. Zong Ze said his heartfelt words.

The brothers ate and ate, said some words of gratitude, and left the yamen.

Zong Ze and his son Zong Fang sent Yue Fei's brothers out of Nanxunmen, everyone cherished each other, and Zong Ze repeatedly instructed.

The five Yue Fei brothers left the capital, rushed all the way to Wangjing, came to Master Li's mansion to pick up their bags, stayed in the Wangjing Hotel for a night, and then packed up and returned to their hometown.
