CHAPTER XXXIII
It's just admiration and admiration, seeing that Yue Fei broke through Liu's army and captured a lot of people, except for the hundreds of soldiers who were greatly resented by the people during the looting, the remaining more than 30,000 captured defeated troops were afraid that most of them would fall under the command of Yue Fei.
When the two of them went out of the city to greet Yue Fei, they saw that each other was only twenty-eight years old, young and vigorous, heroic and extraordinary, and their hearts were even more unpleasant.
Although they were only impulsive, in the past two months, they have been carrying their own heads to resist the siege of Liu Guangshi's tens of thousands of troops, and there are still many Zhao Gou's henchmen in the city who may make chaos at any time, attacking internally and externally, and they are miserable.
For what, it is naturally fame and wealth.
The opponent defeated 50,000 strong enemies with more than 10,000 troops, and his reputation will surely be crowned in the world, and the credit is also very great.
At this time, there was no need to communicate, and there was no need to discuss, taking advantage of the opportunity that Yue Fei would not cling to Qin Hui and not advance and retreat with them, and attack them in a big way.
It's just that Qin Hui is what kind of person, how can he not know what these two people think.
Miao Fu's residence was very close to here, so everyone simply walked, Qin Hui smiled all over his face, took Miao Fu's arm, and just ignored the words of the two of them.
Looking for a gap, he just gossiped with these two people and didn't mention business, but it made Miao and Liu very depressed.
Soon after, he arrived at Miao Fu's house, Qin Hui signaled slightly, Miao Fu retreated left and right, only himself, Qin Hui, and Liu Zhengyan stayed in the room.
Qin Hui made it clear that he wanted to have a secret conversation with these two people, but he was just not in a hurry, he sat on the right side of the hall, but he looked around with his eyes and praised the calligraphy and paintings hanging in the main hall of Miao Fu's mansion.
Miao Fu and Liu Zhengyan were so anxious that they almost knelt in front of Qin Hui and begged the prime minister to tell them what the emperor said of them.
Qin Hui is here. Naturally, it brought the emperor's real thoughts and evaluations, and it is still unknown whether the festival envoys they were awarded by the Empress Dowager Meng before can be recognized.
Seeing that these two people looked like they were scratched by a hundred claws, Qin Hui laughed secretly in his heart. But I also know that the time has come, and I don't have to act like it anymore.
He coughed slightly, interrupted Miao Fu's unsatisfactory appreciation of calligraphy and paintings, and said with a smile: "Two generals, I came this time with His Majesty's evaluation and praise for the two. ”
Miao Liu and the others glanced at each other, their faces were already uncontrollable, and they said in unison: "Please show me!" ”
His Majesty said, although King Kang was helpless, he was stealing the throne. If it is a punishment and requisition, and I am afraid of losing the hearts of the people in the world, now there are Miao Fu and Liu Zhengyan, who are loyal and commendable, and have solved this confidant trouble for me, which is commendable! ”
Miao Fu laughed and replied, "Your Majesty also knows that I am loyal and brave!" ”
Liu Zhengyan also smiled, and only said: "Your Majesty has won the award." The last general is ashamed. ”
Miao Fu glanced at him and said, "If it weren't for us, King Kang would not have abdicated if he was killed, and we would have made a great contribution." What is there to dare to be. ”
Qin Hui stroked his palm and smiled, and said, "General Miao's words are right. ”
Liu Zhengyan smiled and bowed his head, no longer speaking.
Qin Hui said again: "Your Majesty said that since the two generals have made great contributions. is really loyal and brave, and was awarded by the Queen Mother at the beginning. Although it is a matter of urgency, it is also a matter of responsibility. The two are veterans again. Holding the festival is handsome, and it is enough to deserve it. ”
Miao and Liu were overjoyed when they heard this, stood up, and said in unison: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your great kindness." ”
Qin Hui waved his hand and said: "The two of you deserve it, Your Majesty clearly said it first, there is no need to do this." ”
Seeing that the two of them retreated, Qin Hui said again: "General Miao Fu Miao, the first meritorious person in advocating righteousness, is now the commander of the imperial camp of the Jiedu envoy, and he is a little aggrieved." His Majesty's intention is to grant General Miao as the envoy of Xiangyang Fu Road on Hubei Road, and General Liu as the envoy of Tanzhou, follow Li Pingzhang and Master Li, and pass through Jingxiang and other places. ”
After he finished speaking quietly, he sipped tea and said nothing, looking at the faces of Miao and Liu.
After thinking about it for a while, Miao Fu knew that this appointment was excellent. He served as the envoy of Jingxiang and other places with the title of Jiedu envoy, and if the emperor made him the supreme military commander of Hubei all the way, it was much stronger than the imperial camp command of a predecessor.
just let him leave Lin'an, but he was a little reluctant. With his original intention, it is best to let him become the Xuanfu envoy of Zhedong Road, and still guard Lin'an, so it is best.
However, Liu Zhengyan is full of wishes, from a deputy commander of the imperial camp to the highest military commander of a place, in the future, he will have greater responsibilities and powers, and his military achievements will be greater, wouldn't it be much stronger than following Miao Fu's buttocks.
The two of them thought about it for a while, and although they had a small regret, they both knew that it was much better than the current embarrassing situation. He stood up at the moment, clenched his fists and said, "The last general will obey His Majesty's orders." ”
"Good!"
Qin Hui looked happy and said with a smile: "Here in Lin'an, it is far away from the enemy, and Your Majesty will not stay in the army." When the two generals arrived in Jingxiang and reorganized the army, wouldn't there be more room for improvement. ”
He changed his words and said: "This time, General Miao also has an additional officer, awarded the inspection of the school major protection, and General Liu awarded the pavilion door to praise the good people, Your Majesty said that although the two generals have great merits, the reward should not be too generous at once, for fear of hurting the two generals Defu." Your Majesty is scheming and thinks a lot about the generals, and the two generals must not be slack. ”
"Yes, Your Majesty's kindness is high and thick, and the two of us will do our best to repay it in order to answer Your Majesty's wisdom in knowing people."
These rewards are not not generous, but they are not as generous as people imagined. What Zhao Huan considered, firstly, was the rebellion of Miao and Liu, although it was Zhao Gou who fought and protected himself, but after all, it was a big taboo, and the military participation in politics and rebellion was a big taboo in the Song Dynasty.
If it's a big reward, I'm afraid it will scare them away.
The matter was settled, but Qin Hui smiled, changed his face, and said to the two people: "This time, I came to Xuanfu Liangzhe, one is to cut off the two mutinies, and the other is to welcome back the Queen Mother and King Kang." ”
Seeing that the two of them looked puzzled, they said again: "I'll go back to Chang'an, and the Queen Mother will leave with me, King Kang...... The two generals went on the road with me, and King Kang was escorted by the two generals' troops. ”
This arrangement was originally an ordinary order, but in the ears of Miao and Liu, it was gloomy and terrifying.
Although these two people are not awake people, they are not stupid, after Qin Hui finished speaking, the two of them trembled, looked at each other, and for a while, they didn't dare to come out.
Qin Hui smiled, but he didn't turn his head and looked at the calligraphy and paintings on the wall.
Since these two people understand, they don't need to say more. Of course, they know that there is a lot at stake.
They first followed Yao Pingzhong to fight with the Jin army, their status was not high, and they had no intersection with Zhao Huan, and then they had been following Zhao Gou, if they wanted to say that they were trustworthy, Zhao Gou let these two people be the commander of the imperial camp, and they were much more affectionate to them than Zhao Huan.
Since they betrayed the old master and made great contributions in front of the new master, but in order to get a real appointment, they had to go further and kill the old master to win Zhao Huan's favor.
Killing Zhao Gou, it will be difficult for them to turn back, and they must always follow Zhao Huan, in this way, it can be regarded as Zhao Huan giving them a chance to show their determination.
Kill Zhao Gou, thinking that he was a vote.
Qin Hui didn't keep asking them, and he didn't even want to tempt them.
He believes that the two generals in front of him, who only think about fame and fortune, will figure out the stakes of this.
They couldn't afford to wait, but he took it easy.
Sure enough, as he expected, the two people in front of him, for the sake of wealth and wealth, can kill Wang Yuan, the old boss, and kill King Kang, the fallen phoenix, what is more difficult?
However, Liu Zhengyan made up his mind first, took out the neatness of cutting off Wang Yuan's head with a knife that day, and replied first: "King Kang's identity is extraordinary, so he is naturally more stable in the army of the last general." ”
As soon as he said this, Miao Fu naturally refused to lag behind, and immediately replied: "Yes, please rest assured, we will take care of King Kang steadily, and there will be no chaos!" ”
Qin Hui smiled and said, "The boat is in the middle of the river, King Kang is depressed in his heart, the two of you watch carefully, don't let his old man's feet slip and fall into the river." ”
Miao Fu and Liu Zhengyan looked at each other and smiled, and replied together: "Don't worry, my lord, we will take good care of King Kang and not let him have any accidents." ”
Qin Hui smiled, nodded his head, and said with a straight face: "In this way, the two of them will be rich and famous in the future, and they will be wrapped up in Qin." ”
After negotiating this matter with these two people, Qin Hui first left Lin'an and went to Shaoxingfu Road and other places, approached officials, assessed political performance, appeased exile, and even impeached and dismissed many incompetent local officials, which made Liangzhejiang and other roads very shocked.
He is not afraid of offending people, he knows in his heart that in the future, he will rule the new officials and rectify the officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty, but he is afraid that he will be a pawn crossing the river and rush to the front.
He originally planned to travel for two months, wait until July, and then return to Lin'an, and then pass through Jingxiang from Lin'an, visit Li Gang, and then go to see the officials of Hubei Road. It was only around mid-June that there were a few urgent letters, which made him have to put down what he was doing, hurriedly return to Lin'an, and prepare to get up and go.
During the time he left, Zhao Huan made adjustments to the overall situation of the entire southeast.
With Han Shizhong as the envoy of the quasi-Xuanfu system, he is responsible for the overall situation of Zhunnan and Zhunxi; promoted Yang Yizhong to Jiangdong as the envoy, allocated Zhang Zongyan and other roads to him, and ordered Yang Yizhong to recruit 30,000 troops to Jiankang for training; Yue Fei was appointed as the envoy of eastern Zhejiang, responsible for the security of all parts of Lin'an.
Qin Hui was hurrying away, thinking about the intention of Zhao Huan's appointments. For generals and generals like Han Shizhong, such an appointment is not strange, but Yang Yizhong's promotion surprised him a little. Although this person also has the reputation of a brave general, but his qualifications are still shallow, and he has not fought any big victories, not long ago he was Han Shizhong's general, and now he actually entrusted the safety of Jiangdong to him, and ordered him to expand the army and reorganize training, but he was afraid that he would have the same status as Han Shizhong in the future, but he was very surprised.
As for Yue Fei, Zhao Huan was full of praise at the beginning, but now he does not send this person to the front line, but stays in Lin'an, which is even more bizarre, making him puzzled.
