Chapter 55: A Blessing in Disguise

It is said that the four examiners including Zong Liushou and Zhang Bangchang went to the court to restore their lives.

Emperor Qinzong was shocked when he saw the four people walking in dejectedly.

The four of them came to the temple and knelt down together.

"Your Majesty, King Xiaoliang was picked off his horse by Tang Yin Wusheng Yue Fei on the teaching field and died." Zhang Bangchang said with a sad face.

When Song Qinzong heard that King Xiaoliang was dead, he was furious.

"You guys, I have appointed you as the examiners of this exam, you should fulfill your duties and be loyal to the imperial court, how can you let King Xiaoliang put yourself in danger? What are you guilty of? Qin Zong scolded.

"Your Majesty, the ministers deserve death. It's just that King Xiaoliang can't blame others for his death, he only blames himself for being young and vigorous, and he doesn't do it when he puts down the good prince, and he has to compete with the heroes of the world for the champion. He competed with Tang Yin Yue Fei, and the four of us and the heroes of the world in the school field could see it clearly. Yue Fei is a rare talent in the Great Song Dynasty, he is both civil and military, comparable to Zhou Lang of the Three Kingdoms. King Xiao Liang and Yue Fei compared arrows, and Yue Fei fired nine arrows in a row, and the arrows hit the bull's-eye three hundred steps away. King Xiao Liang was not convinced when he lost, so he had to compete with Yue Fei.

The two of them got on the horse to compete, and King Xiao Liang's golden-backed machete made a killer attack on Yue Fei, but Yue Fei only dodged and did not make a move. King Xiao Liang then said that Yue Fei's martial arts were ordinary and he didn't dare to fight. The lower official asked Yue Fei, and Yue Fei said: Xiaoliang Wang Gui is the prince, and he doesn't dare to fight with him, for fear of hurting his surname, so he doesn't dare to make a move. King Xiaoliang then signed a life and death letter with Yue Fei, saying that life and death have their own destiny and have nothing to do with the other party. Master Zong and I have the life and death status they have in our hands, please ask the emperor to take a look. Zong Liushou said this, and presented the life and death situation.

Zhang Bangchang also submitted the life and death situation. He thought in his heart, as long as Zong Ze could say that the emperor would no longer be held responsible, Yue Fei's matter would be fine. After all, he was bribed by King Xiaoliang, and as soon as King Xiaoliang died, the matter was over.

"Your Majesty, what Master Zong said is extremely true. We once persuaded King Xiaoliang, but he didn't obey and had to compete for the champion. You have to sign a life and death certificate. We didn't dare to disobey him, so we had to decide for himself. Zhang Bangchang said.

"Yes, Your Majesty, King Xiaoliang insists on going his own way, and we are helpless." Wang Duo and Zhang Jun echoed.

Song Qinzong was skeptical when he heard this.

"King Xiao Liang is dead, how can I explain it to his family? What should I do if they seek a murderer? Where is Yue Fei? Did you catch him? Song Qinzong hurriedly asked.

"Your Majesty, Weichen had already taken Yue Fei down, and was about to ask for the guilt, but I didn't expect the heroes of the world to see it, and the crowd was excited, they cut off the banner of the school, and one by one they flocked to the martial arts hall to ask us to release Yue Fei, so the master of the sect made the decision to release Yue Fei. The ministers are really forced to do so. Zhang Bangchang said.

"Where are those lifters now? Why don't you stop them? They are too disagreeable, and they actually blatantly commit trouble for the sake of a mere little Yue Fei. The emperor said with a displeased face.

"Your Majesty, there is nothing wrong with the lifters, and they don't have any excesses, the purpose of them is just to save Yue Fei. They saw Yue Fei's ability, and they also saw Yue Fei's personality. Yue Fei spared King Xiao Liang several times, King Xiao Liang didn't know his own respect, but took advantage of the opportunity for Yue Fei to put away his gun and return to the martial arts hall to catch up from behind, and released a few cold arrows at Yue Fei in a row. Yue Fei was angry, and turned around and shot, originally not to kill him, but to teach him a lesson, but he didn't expect King Xiaoliang to rush up, and just a shot in the chest returned to the west. In front of everyone's eyes, Yue Fei is bright and fair, what is the crime? The heroes can see it clearly and understand, Lord Zhang ordered him to be beheaded, how can you say that the heroes of the world can be convinced? Besides, Yue Fei is a rare talent, and his ability can be worth thousands of troops. Weichen and Yue Fei once had a heart-to-heart talk, I tested his military strategy, marching formation, and his martial arts, his Wen Tao's martial arts strategy can be called a genius, and Lao Chen is ashamed of himself compared to him. Yue Fei also has a group of brothers, the elder brother is heroic and has excellent martial arts, they are all disciples of Zhou Dong, I think they will be the pillars of the imperial court in the future. Yue Fei is Zhou Dong's righteous son, and he has obtained the true biography of Zhou Dong, I dare to assert that once the country is in trouble, Yue Fei and others will definitely serve the country loyally. The emperor, the old minister let Yue Fei go, just to keep the pillars of the Great Song Dynasty, for the sake of the society, and he was absolutely selfless. The old minister can swear to the sky. Your Majesty, the old minister dared to ask the emperor to spare Yue Fei and let him make meritorious contributions in the future. For the sake of the Great Song Dynasty, for Yue Fei, it is not a pity for the ministers to die. Zong Ze said and knelt down and paused.

Emperor Qinzong was very happy when he heard Zong Ze talk about Yue Fei being so godlike. Since the Yang family general, only Zhou Tong has been a hero for decades, but after all, he is old and I heard that he is dead. If Yue Fei and the others can really defeat thousands of troops, then why am I afraid of a Liang Wang Xingshi asking for guilt?

"Tell me how many of you are, what Master Zong said is the truth?" Qin Zong asked.

"Emperor Qi, Yue Fei's ability is indeed good, I think he is also very kind, he spared King Xiaoliang several times, it was King Xiaoliang who did not know the inspection, and the assassin secretly attracted the disaster of killing." Wang Duo saw that Emperor Qinzong seemed to have a pity for Yue Fei, and when he saw the wind making the rudder, he spoke for Yue Fei vigorously. He knew that as soon as King Xiaoliang died, he was no longer afraid. And Yue Fei and others are not idle people, and they will definitely make great achievements in the future. Speaking for Yue Fei, firstly, you can please the Sect to stay behind, secondly, you can please Yue Fei, pave the way for the future of the future, and thirdly, you can also get a good reputation for cherishing talents. Why not kill three birds with one stone?

Zhang Jun saw that Wang Duo saw the wind and rudder, and he also learned to be obedient, and praised Yue Fei vigorously.

Zhang Bangchang saw that the three of them praised Yue Fei, and he had to praise Yue Fei. He knew the story of the ancients "three people became tigers", and he didn't want to make too many enemies.

Song Qinzong listened to the four examiners praising Yue Fei, and naturally looked at Yue Fei with admiration.

"Master Zong, Yue Fei trusts you very much, I ordered you to bring Yue Fei into the palace, I want to meet him and personally test his writing and martial arts." Qin Zong said.

"Your Majesty, Yue Fei is just a commoner, if you want to see him, I'm afraid it's inappropriate and undignified." Zhang Bangchang played.

"What's wrong? I am the king of a country, I can see whoever I want, not to mention that Yue Fei will be the pillar of the imperial court in the future, I see him enough to prove my sincerity, and I am thirsty for talent. For the sake of the country's society, do I want to keep standing tall and let the heroes of the world deviate from morality? Qin Zong asked rhetorically.

When Zhang Bangchang heard this, his face was flushed with shame, and he retreated and kept silent.

"The emperor is sage, and Weichen will do it. It's just that without the Holy Decree, I'm afraid Yue Fei won't believe it. Weichen dared to ask the emperor for a holy decree, so that he could give an explanation to his brothers. Zong Ze said.

"What Aiqing said is very true, I will give you a holy decree." Emperor Qinzong said that he would give orders to the little eunuch to serve with pen and ink.

The little eunuch brought the four treasures of the study, and Qin Zong wrote a holy decree and handed it to Zong Ze.

Zong Ze received the order and thanked him, stood up and went out of the noon gate to return to the left-behind mansion.

As soon as I arrived at the Yamen, I heard the soldiers guarding the door report: "Master, Fang Cai Yue Fei and others came to the gate to cry and worship, and they said, 'The grace of the lord is as heavy as a mountain, and it cannot be repaid in this life, and it will be repaid in the next life.' ’”

Zong Ze heard this, and hurriedly asked, "How long has their brother gone?" In which direction did you go? ”
