Volume 1 Troubled Boys Section 292 Ten years of conquest with two sideburns
Yue Fei naturally didn't know that Han Shizhong had been temporarily dismissed and was now at home behind closed doors, so he was strange and surprised why he couldn't be seen on such an occasion.
Moreover, although most of the important ministers of the DPRK and China are listed, it seems that only the generals who once led the troops are missing.
At this time, a person got up from the position of the dragon chair closest to the emperor, and he walked out slowly, with a smile on his face, and walked towards Yue Fei.
Yue Fei saw that this person was not familiar, but he couldn't tell who he was and how he had known him?
As soon as Xue Shangshu saw this person coming, he quickly stopped, bowed down and said, "Qin Xiang......"
The middle-aged man was Qin Hui, the prime minister of the dynasty, he was the first person to step down from his seat to greet Yue Fei, the smile on his face was very sincere, he first reached out early to help Xue Shangshu up, but his eyes were always on Yue Fei during the whole process.
I saw that he was not in a hurry, but he gradually bent his waist very deeply, and said: "General Yue's battle is famous all over the world, and today I have to see my Great Song God of War, and Qin Hui is not in vain!"
Yue Fei was stunned for a moment, he really didn't expect that the first one to come over was the prime minister, Qin Hui is naturally no stranger to him, but he has been fighting outside all these years, and Qin Hui has always been by the emperor's side, so there is very little intersection, although he is familiar when he sees it, he can't call his name for a while.
Xue Shangshu saw that the two seemed to be fixed there, so he "coughed" twice softly, reminding Yue Fei not to lose etiquette.
Yue Fei reacted at this time, and hurriedly bowed down and hugged his fists and said: "Yue Fei, how can he be virtuous, it all depends on His Majesty's trust and the lives of all the soldiers, Qin Xiang is really too famous!"
Most of the ministers present were subordinate to the ministers and the six ministries, and they were all considered high-ranking powers, and the colors in their eyes when they saw Yue Fei walking in were different.
Some people envy this general who has died on the battlefield in exchange for endless meritorious deeds, judging from the emperor's dedication to the holy things in front of him this time, he will definitely be "straight up" in the future, and there is no need to worry about fame and fortune.
Some people are defining whether this mighty general will become his "friend" or "enemy"? If he is a friend, he should naturally "treat each other with all sincerity"; if he unfortunately stands on the opposite side, how should he deal with it?
Some people want to win over, some people want to move away this "stumbling block", even if it is just a possibility, no one is willing to take this risk, this may be the big story between the hearts of the people, but on the surface it is as calm as the sea, and there are no waves, but the undercurrent is surging, buried deep in the heart.
"General Yue, please come and sit here!" Qin Hui stretched out his hand and pointed to the empty long table next to him, and said to Yue Fei.
Now that the prime minister has come forward, Xue Shangshu naturally sits in his own position.
Yue Fei was a little hesitant and asked, "Yue Fei is a military general, and his official position is lower than that of other lords, how can he sit next to Qin?"
Qin Hui's eyes flashed, and he said with a smile: "The general doesn't have to be humble, today's imperial banquet was originally prepared by His Majesty for the general, and I can sit here by borrowing the general's light, come, Your Majesty will arrive soon, let's sit down first!"
Yue Fei had no choice but to sit in that position according to his words, and when he walked past the six Shangshu, he obviously saw the "unfriendly" gaze cast by Lord Cao, the Shangshu of the Military Department, and Liu Shangshu's malicious smile.
Yue Fei laughed in his heart, he never thought of gaining the so-called fame and fortune because of his military exploits, let alone staying in the court to intersect with anyone, and
The reason why these adults have different looks in their eyes when they see him is just guessing where they will go next, some are afraid that they will hinder their interests, some want to win over each other, and some people judge that they are not "the same kind of people" when they see themselves, so whether they are jealous or resentful, they are all just for two words, "fame and fortune".
But these two words are as light as a feather to me.
Thinking of this, Yue Fei's gaze swept over the imperial banquet where the important ministers gathered, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
I think that since ancient times, there have always been people who seek fame and fortune in the temple, but just a quick glance of passing by, you can see countless colorful "fame and fortune" from the eyes of so many people, how can you not make an ambitious and ambitious general feel cold?
Yue Fei and Qin Hui sat down, and at this time, the entire side hall became extremely quiet, and the imperial banquet had not yet begun, and the silence inevitably made people feel a little lifeless.
"General Yue, you have come all the way from north to south, you must have seen a lot of knowledge all the way, what do you think of me in the Great Song Dynasty now?" Qin Hui suddenly turned to Yue Fei and asked.
Yue Fei was stunned for a moment, not knowing what he meant by this sudden question, but thinking of what he had seen and felt over the years, he arched his hand and said: "Back to Qin Xiang, Fei didn't dare to deceive what he saw all the way, such as today's fatigue, mourning is everywhere, and the refugees are all hungry like a torrent blocking the road...... It's hard to put it into words......"
Qin Hui didn't seem surprised by Yue Fei's words, and still smiled: "What does the general think of His Majesty's governance of Lin'an?"
Yue Fei couldn't help frowning slightly when he heard him mention "Your Majesty", and he didn't guess what he wanted to ask for a while, so he didn't speak.
Seeing that Yue Fei was silent, Qin Hui was not anxious, and said: "The people around Lin'an are happy, and there is no scene described by the general, and it is only a hundred miles away from Lin'an, you can see the sorrow and sorrow that the general said, why......?
He sighed lightly and continued: "Maybe many people think that this is a corner of peace, but in fact, I know that His Majesty often misses Bianjing and Bianhe, and misses his father and brother a lot, before the general arrived in Lin'an, the Chinese and Wu of the court discussed whether to fight or make peace with the Jin people many times, and each held a dispute for many reasons, but the intention was that the warriors swept the country of tigers and wolves and recovered the lost land, and the 'peace' is because the land of the Great Song Dynasty is now withering, and the use of soldiers will cost the people and money, so it is better to temporarily rest and recuperate......"
Qin Hui stopped when he said this, as if waiting for Yue Fei's reaction, Yue Fei also thought that he would inevitably ask his opinion next, but Qin Hui only shook his head slightly, and his eyes turned to the dragon chair that was also a little lonely.
"Today, Your Majesty personally set up a royal banquet for the general to wash the wind and dust, and please ask the general not to mention these things that make Your Majesty worry?"
Yue Fei frowned slightly, the purpose of his trip was this important matter, how could he avoid talking about it when he saw the emperor?
At this moment, a sharp voice came, shouting, "Your Majesty is coming!"
The ministers sitting behind the long table bowed down one after another, and Yue Fei naturally knelt there.
"My general is finally back, and I can't wait to see him!"
The footsteps gradually approached, and Yue Fei knew that it was the emperor walking towards him, but he didn't look up, and then a pair of hands slowly grabbed his shoulders.
"Yue Aiqing, hurry up!"
Yue Fei stood up at this time, but he still lowered his head and didn't dare to look directly.
The emperor was a little shorter than Yue Fei
, He looked up at Yue Fei, holding Yue Fei's arm with both hands, looking very close.
He looked at it for a long time, and he was quite emotional, and even his eyes turned red.
The emperor choked up and sighed: "Ten years of war, ten years of war, ten years of war......"
"The last time we saw each other, I vaguely remember that it seemed to be six years in Shaoxing, and now it has been several years, and it is said that the years urge people to grow old, and I can't imagine that the past ten years have also made Aiqing's temples white......"
Yue Fei didn't expect the emperor to become so excited when he saw him, his whole body trembled slightly, but he still tried his best to bow down and bow down in a calm voice: "The years are gone, how can the ministers not be old, and it is the duty of the courtiers to share the worries for His Majesty......"
He also sighed secretly in his heart, and suddenly remembered that the sixth year of Shaoxing was the period of the old mother's funeral, and he was grieved and even the eye disease for many years recurred, so he played to the court to dismiss the old mother's coffin and bury it in Lushan, I didn't expect that the years passed so quickly, and now my temples are full of frost.
At this time, Qin Hui said behind the emperor: "Your Majesty, today is the great joy of General Yue's triumph, don't be excited to evoke the old past!"
The emperor endured the choked voice, nodded and said: "It's not good for me, today this special banquet is for Aiqing to catch the wind and wash the dust, it's all strange that I was excited when I saw Aiqing, but I sighed first!"
He was just about to turn around, and when he saw the two young men who were just supporting each other behind him, he called the two of them to him and said, "Xuan'er, Xuan'er, this is General Yue, who I often mention to you, and General Yue, who is also the pillar of the country, you will definitely get closer to you in the future!"
Seeing that Yue Fei was still bent down and standing respectfully, he smiled and helped him up with both hands.
"Love, these two are both the seventh grandsons of Taizu, quite virtuous and handsome, so I often stay by my side, teach them, and can be entrusted with them after looking at the sun!"
Only then did Yue Fei look up and see two young men following the emperor, one was white and pure, slightly fat, and looked rich and cute, while the other was thin and tall, looking a little weak.
Before he came back, he heard Han Shizhong mention in his letter that the emperor now keeps the two descendants of Taizu by his side, and it is likely that he is the candidate for the prince, but who among them will choose has not yet been decided, and this is also a matter that the court is concerned about and is quite right.
Han Shizhong and Yue Fei naturally said that they were willing to support Zhao Yin, saying that he had all kinds of advantages, as for the descendant of Taizu who fled all the way back from the north, Yue Fei had also heard Dong Xian mention it, but he didn't even have a chance to see it when the situation was urgent.
"Yue Fei has seen two sons!"
When the white and chubby Zhao Xuan saw Yue Fei's dark face and dusty face, he didn't smile on his chubby face, but just nodded, put his hands behind his back and said, "Well, how many battles have you won and how many enemies have you killed?"
Yue Fei replied: "The minister has never killed a person with his own hands......"
"Then how can you say that you have made a great contribution?" Zhao Xuan asked again.
Yue Fei smiled and said, "Since ancient times, how can the victories and defeats and merits of wars be shouldered by one person, it's just ...... The ministers were elected as their will......"
Zhao Xuan shook his head and advised: "Then you can work hard in the future, if you can't kill the enemy again, there may be no matter for you when you are rewarded for meritorious deeds next time!"
The emperor had turned around and walked to the dragon chair, Qin Hui heard that Zhao Xuan was too naïve, so he hurriedly grabbed him and said, "Childe, the imperial banquet is about to start, please sit down quickly!"
