Just when Zhang Jun was proud of the spring breeze and was hot, a trivial incident happened in the imperial court.

In 1137 A.D., that is, in the first month of the seventh year of Shaoxing, the Southern Song Dynasty sent to the Jin State envoy He Mo returned to China, and he brought back a letter from the right deputy marshal of the Jin State, Wanyan Wushu, which said that the old emperor Huizong had died.

In fact, Huizong Zhao Ji died two years ago. It's just that at that time, the Jin and Song dynasties were at loggerheads, and the armies of the two countries were fighting happily in the northwest and the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and no one paid attention to such trivial matters.

Now Liu Yu's pseudo-Qi has been flattened by the Southern Song Dynasty several times in succession, and the growing prosperity of the Southern Song Dynasty court has made the Jin State also look sideways; In addition, the new monarch of the Jin State ascended the throne, peace is precious, Wanyan Chang and other lords and factions came to power, and Wanyan Wushu is now extending an olive branch to Emperor Gaozong in a timely manner, which is also the right way.

Let's review the ups and downs of the life of the old emperor Huizong:

He was emperor for twenty-six years, a prisoner for nine years, and a shared year for fifty-two years.

He once enjoyed all the blessings of the world, and his happiness was boundless; also once sent people under the fence, became the king of the dead country, and suffered all kinds of humiliation.

Compared with his bitter turtle son Qinzong Zhao Huan, Huizong Zhao Ji has tasted all the tastes that he should try, and he is not at a loss.

The life of Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan, father and son, in Jin Country was undoubtedly painful.

Although the Jurchens did not torture them physically, they were only escorted to parade in the temples of the Jin Kingdom, stripped naked of their wives and concubines in front of their faces, and forcibly XX and AA; They were also given farm tools so that they could live an inferior life......

All this, for the two former emperors of the Song Dynasty, is already like being in the abyss of hell.

Of course. The most unacceptable thing is the way Jin Guo handled Huizong's body.

According to the records of the Golden History. The Jurchens buried Zhao Ji's body directly. And in order to take care of the emotions of the Han people. A layer of raw silk was added to the corpse, and Empress Zheng, who had died earlier, was buried with her.

After all, it is a captive, especially a Jurchen who is as cruel as a life, and it seems that it is very generous to do this.

But this is only the official version of the Jurchens, and in the Jin Kingdom, there is another version:

After the death of the old emperor Huizong, the Jurchens dug a large pit, threw the body into it and began to burn it. When you are halfway through the boil, add some water, and say that the oil boiled out in this way is very bright......

Huizong's son Zhao Huan was in pain at the edge of the pit, and jumped down to die with his father, but was pulled up by the Jin people and thrown aside.

Compared with the half-concealment of the official statement, the popular statement is conclusive and more fascinating.

For the rumors, whether you believe it or not, Emperor Gaozong really believed it anyway.

The proof is that a few years later, the Song and Kim countries negotiated peace. Emperor Huizong's coffin was able to return to China, but Emperor Gaozong and his ministers did not open the coffin for inspection. Directly buried and buried in the soil, as if he knew that there was something mysterious in the coffin, which was not suitable for the public to see.

If you still don't believe me, here's a second piece of evidence:

More than 100 years later, the Song Dynasty fell, and there was a vicious monk named Yang Lian Zhenjia in the army of the Yuan Dynasty, who dug up the six tombs of the Southern Song Dynasty.

The Six Tombs of the Southern Song Dynasty are located in the southeast of Shaoxing, Zhejiang, and are buried with seven emperors such as Hui, Gao, Xiao, Guang, Ning, Li, and Du, as well as the concubines of each sect.

Yang Lian Zhenjia dug up the tombs of each emperor, removed the skull, and carefully polished and processed them into Buddha strings to hang on his chest. In this process, the coffins of the emperors of the Southern Song Dynasty appeared in the daylight, and there were no secrets under the sun.

Huizong Zhao Ji's coffin did not contain any corpses, only a piece of rotten wood.

Where did his body go, this is a mystery that is difficult to solve, thinking that Emperor Gaozong did not dare to open the coffin for an autopsy, it is very likely that Huizong's corpse disposal method is very crude and indecent, and it is simply untenable to use raw silk to wrap the burial

For his father's miserable treatment, Emperor Gaozong was heartbroken and cried.

No matter how you say it, Emperor Gaozong is also a person.

As the so-called flesh and blood are connected, Emperor Gaozong couldn't accept his father's tragic experience at all. He cried bitterly on the spot, staggered back to the palace, and did not eat a drop of water for several days, and was so sad that he could not live in pain.

The persuasion of many ministers, relatives, and eunuchs could not calm his anger! He wants to take revenge, and he wants to make Jin pay the price, pay the blood debt with blood, and repay the flesh and blood.

The revenge of killing his father is not shared!

So, Emperor Gaozong remembered a person - Yue Fei.

Emperor Gaozong secretly summoned Yue Fei to the palace and discussed for a long time in the inner hall.

Strangely, Emperor Gaozong did not talk to Yue Fei about any military and national policies, but instead asked Yue Fei about his way of raising horses.

Yue Fei's answer is also quite thought-provoking:

"Ji does not call its strength, but its virtue. The minister has two horses, so it is often strange. Eat beans to a few buckets a day, drink a spring, but if it is not pure, it is better to starve to death. Rushing through the middle, if it is not very sick at the beginning, it is more than 100 miles away, the beginning of the long sound, the Fen Xun show the horse, from noon to unitary, it can still be 200 miles. Saddle up and sweat without rest, as if nothing happened. This is a horse, subject to the big but not reluctant, the strength is abundant but not seeking success, and the material for far-reaching is also. The value of Xiangyang, Pingyang, unfortunately died one after another. Otherwise, those who ride it today will not receive more than a few liters a day, and they will not choose millet for straw or spring. The reins are not settled, and they are enthusiastic and fast, and they are exhausted, sweating and panting, and they want to die. This is a horse, easy to profit, easy to be poor, and blunt. ”

To put it simply, Yue Fei believes that the characteristics of a good horse are that they need to eat well and drink well, and the result is a slow start and sufficient stamina, while the characteristics of a bad horse are just the opposite.

Obviously, Yue Fei compares himself to a "good horse", eating well, running fast. He hoped that Gojong would be far-sighted and would be able to hand over more troops and power to himself to take on the heavy task of making another big move.

Yue Fei's remarks aroused Emperor Gaozong's recognition and great attention.

Emperor Gaozong praised him for "seeing progress, and discussing is desirable". Taking advantage of the opportunity of rewarding meritorious deeds after the Huaixi Campaign, Yue Fei was promoted from the major of the inspection school to the second rank of the Tai Lieutenant, and the deputy envoy of Xuanfu and the envoy of the camp field were promoted to the ambassador of the Xuanfu and the ambassador of the camp field.

According to the system of the Song Dynasty, the three provinces under the jurisdiction of the prime minister and the privy council under the jurisdiction of the privy envoy were known as the two governments. In addition to the prime minister, privy envoys and governors are called rulers, that is, "auxiliary ministers".

Since the Song Dynasty, "since the ancestors, the name of the envoy is not more important than Xuanfu, and most of them are appointed as consuls". "In the name of Xuanfu, the major event of the special expedition", only "the close ministers of the Langmiao and the honorable people of the high world" can take on this important task.

After Yue Feiguan paid homage to the Taiwei, he "straightened out the weight gain and made the name", so that the fictitious title and the actual position were the same, and they were treated as high-ranking officials at the ruling level. However, the inspection of the school, the young guard, the Tai Lieutenant, etc., are just the icing on the cake as the bonus titles, and Yue Fei's two towns are still retained and unchanged.

By this time, Yue Fei's actual dispatch had surpassed Wu Jue in the northwest, and was on an equal footing with Han Shizhong, Liu Guangshi, and Zhang Jun, the traditional three army leaders.

Whether it is the surrender faction or the main battle faction, they have to admit that Yue Fei is one of the four generals of Zhongxing in the Southern Song Dynasty.

In the early spring and March of the seventh year of Shaoxing, under the auspices of Zhang Jun, Emperor Gaozong moved the "Xingzai" to Jiankang Mansion. And Yue Fei, who was still staying in Pingjiang Mansion, was also ordered to "lead the horse army" and "follow the guards".

After arriving at Jiankang Mansion, Emperor Gaozong put aside Han Shizhong, who was escorted by his own army, and summoned Yue Fei alone again in the "Bedroom" and said a word to him:

"In the matter of Zhongxing, I will be entrusted to the secretary, except for Zhang Jun and Han Shizhong, who are not controlled, and the rest are controlled by the secretary."

The so-called "moderation" refers to temporary or indirect command.

According to Emperor Gaozong's statement, the scope of Yue Fei's moderation not only includes more than 52,000 people on the left side of Liu Guangshi's camp, but also more than 68,400 people on the right side of Wu Yu's camp who is still the deputy envoy of Xuanfu, about 30,000 troops in front of Yang Yi's middle hall, and more than 12,600 troops in other guards Ma Jun and guard infantry troops, totaling about 1670,000 people.

This number does not include the original 100,000 troops of the Yue family's army.

Han Shizhong, who did not return to Yue Fei's moderation, had about 30,000 guards in front of the camp, and Zhang Jun's guards in the camp were about 70,000, totaling about 100,000 people.

In other words, Emperor Gaozong's fluttering words assigned nearly 70% of the troops of the Southern Song Dynasty to Yue Fei's command.

Emperor Gaozong generously gave Yue Fei the command and control of most of the country's troops, which had no precedent in the Song Dynasty, and could not help but make Yue Fei ecstatic.

Yue Fei's heart was agitated, his opportunity had finally come, and soon he would be able to concentrate the country's troops on the Northern Expedition to Jinqi and go straight to the Huanglong Mansion.

This is actually the obscure meaning of the last time Emperor Gaozong and Yue Fei talked about the secret of raising horses.

The so-called eating well and drinking well is that Yue Fei is emphasizing that if he wants the horses to run, he must feed the horses, that is, increase the troops of the Yue family's army; Fast speed and sufficient stamina refer to the effect after the increase in troops, and we cannot just look at it for a while, the Northern Expedition is a long-term plan, and we must have sufficient patience.

At this moment, the founding emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty and the strongest generals of Zhongxing finally came together.

Yue Fei was very grateful to the emperor for his kindness, and was even more eager to succeed in resisting the gold, so he wrote a note in neat block letters and presented it to the emperor on the 11th:

"Since the change of the country, the ministers have started in the white house, and they really have the heart of dedicating their lives to serve the country and recovering their shame...... However, the ministers are foolish and want to fake the sun and the moon under His Majesty, and do not restrain the ministers to drown, so that the enemy is unpredictable. In case you can enter, you will raise troops to go straight to Beijing and Luo, according to Heyang, Shaanfu and Tongguan, in order to call on the rebel generals of the five routes...... The minister then divided the troops and slipped through the two rivers, and Liu Yu's father and son could be captured...... The minister heard that the teacher was 100,000 yuan, and the daily cost was thousands...... At the same time, he welcomed the Emperor Taishang and Empress Ningde Zigong, and invited the heavenly family to return to the country, so that the temple was safe again, and all the surnames were happy. Then begged to return to the field, the minister dreamed of what he had promised in the past. ”

Yue Fei's essay is sprinkled with thousands of words, explaining and demonstrating the strategy and feasibility of the Northern Expedition from many aspects, which makes people feel bloody and eager to try.

It's just that Yue Fei was happy too early.

Hesitating, Emperor Gaozong at both ends of the first rat quickly regretted it. (To be continued......)
