"Hey, I said let's not just talk here, have any of you seen the Lord Yue who is about to be greeted?

Naturally, his eyes first glanced at the Ministry of War, because although Yue Fei was a general in foreign wars, he was still nominally under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War.

"I said, Lord Liu, don't come to see me, when will those generals who have been abroad all the year round take my military department in their eyes? Unlike your officials, who are in charge of the promotion of tens of thousands of officials, that is a real heavy responsibility, and they are quite respected!"

The somewhat obese official Shangshu was not angry, but said with a smile: "I said Lord Cao, you can't say that, everyone is shouldering heavy responsibilities for Your Majesty, what is the order? If you want me to say that Your Majesty let the three of us go out of the city to greet us this time, the meaning is obvious, General Yue has made an immortal achievement, and he will be reused when he returns to the dynasty in the future, it seems that we, the old people, still have to understand the general situation!"

The corners of his mouth went up, and his smile was friendly, but his eyes were full of provocation when he looked at the military department, he knew that this time His Majesty arranged for everyone to go out of the city to welcome Yue Fei, who was returning to the court, which made these people unhappy, after all, they are all important ministers of the imperial court, and they are usually used to being high, where is the reason why they personally walked out of the city to greet the generals who led troops outside?

But His Majesty personally gave the will, they naturally did not dare to say much, so they had to go out of the city according to the words, but after all, they were unhappy in their hearts, in fact, the secretary of the ministry did not think so, but he had been immersed in the ministry for many years, and he had already practiced the ability of "laughing at the skin and laughing at the flesh", and now seeing the Lord Cao of the military department full of indignation, he couldn't help but provoke invisibly.

"Hmph, if he can achieve Jiuqing in this way, I will resign to the court tomorrow and go home to retire, what's the big deal!" Master Cao stomped on the ground and said.

Lord Liu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, walked to his side at this time, stretched out his hand to help him, but stopped halfway through his hand, he saw that the secretary of the Ministry of Rites was looking at him with deep eyes, so he took two steps forward, came to Lord Cao, and persuaded: "Forget it, I said Lord Cao, you have been in charge of the military department for so many years, why is your temper still so short-tempered?"

He looked at the Ministry of Rites, then leaned close to Lord Cao and said in a low voice: "As the saying goes, if you can't bear it, you will make a big plan......"

"Ahem...... Cough ......" The Ministry of Rites glanced at the two of them and coughed twice, obviously reminding them not to "talk nonsense".

He stood on tiptoe and looked forward, and three fast horses came in the faint light of dawn, but because they were still far away, he could not see clearly.

"It doesn't matter if you know it or not, the important thing is that General Yue has indeed made great contributions to the country this time, and it is understandable that Your Majesty will welcome you with generous gifts, Lord Cao, Lord Liu, I am equivalent to the court as an official, and I should share the worries for Your Majesty!"

The secretary of the military department and the secretary of the ministry were said by him, and he also knew that what the two of them just said was not appropriate, where did they dare to say more, not to mention that the emperor named the abbot of the Ministry of Rites to welcome the matter, if they said too much, they would be "unable to eat and walk around" when the time comes.

"Listen to what Master Xue says!"

......

Yue Fei took his eldest son Yue Yun and Zhang Xian to ride horses and slowly came to the Linan City Gate, and at this time they saw clearly that it was not the people who wanted to enter the city that were crowded in front of the city gate, but there were large groups of guards and officials blocking the front, but those people who really wanted to enter and leave the city were squeezed to both sides and couldn't get up at all.

"Oh, why did the court suddenly become so polite, are these people specially here to greet us?" Zhang Xian said jokingly.

Yue Yun saw Yue Fei's eyebrows frowning slightly, and he was looking at the congested scene in front of him, stretched out his hand and slapped Zhang Xian, and said, "Who do you think you can bear such a big etiquette?"

Zhang Xian scratched his head and said, "Who said it was me, our Yue Shuai defeated the Golden Vulture Army, this is something that has never happened in the Great Song Dynasty for many years, can't you afford it?"

Yue Yun glared at him fiercely, looked at his father's back and said, "Father said, after entering this city, it is no better than when you get along with all the brothers in the military camp, you must not talk nonsense!"

Zhang Xian grinned and said weakly: "I'll pay attention when I enter the city!"

Yue Fei didn't have the heart to pay attention to the two of them, how could he not see the "grand" scene in front of the city gate, which was also what he was worried about at the moment.

In his opinion, the victory of the person in charge of the army has always been within the scope of self-blame, and this time the class master faced the saint, he did not want any reward, but only hoped to state the ambitions in his chest and the unprecedented opportunity of the current golden breaker before the holy car, so as to win the emperor's trust and lead the army to the expedition again, and these things are best carried out in the most low-key situation.

However, it backfired, and the pilgrimage letter he sent through the post station before approaching Lin'an should have arrived two days ago, so now it seems that the hundred officials who left the city early in the morning must have been arranged by the imperial court to wait here to meet him.

Yue Fei shook his head, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, since the road to the city was already like this, he could only accept this grand and huge scene with a hard head.

The three Shangshu raised their eyes in front of the city gate, and saw the three of them slowly approaching on war horses, no matter how they looked, it seemed that there were only three people, which made everyone feel extremely surprised.

You must know that in terms of Yue Fei's rare victory, it can be described as a high achievement, logically speaking, although he can't lead the army to pass through the city like Lin'an, but there is always a team of people and horses to follow back, who would have thought that there are only three people and three horses, and they are not even armored, it looks a little "shabby".

"Hey, those three people in front of you are the legendary Yue Pengju?" said an official who accompanied him to greet him.

Lord Xue of the Ministry of Rites had not seen Yue Fei, but from the eyes of Lord Cao of the Ministry of War, he could see that it was Yue Fei who was approaching on horseback in front.

"Everyone is dressed up, lined up and ready to welcome the heroes!"

A group of officials at all levels, large and small, have found their own positions, although no one came to advise these positions, but there was a precedent in the past, who stood in front and who was behind, who was in the middle, and who was separated on both sides, and the imperial court had its own imperial court's exquisiteness.

Standing in the middle are naturally the three Shangshu adults.

Yue Fei stopped when he was still some distance away from greeting the procession, and he waved his hand to let Yue Yun and Zhang Xian dismount and walk with him.

Although Lord Xue was old, his eyes were keen, and when he saw Yue Fei jumping off his horse early, he couldn't help but smile and nodded, and then said to the other two Shangshu adults beside him: "Others say that generals who have made meritorious contributions abroad are often proud and complacent, and they are domineering, I think this General Yue is quite humble and polite, since this is the case, we should respect him!"

After that, he was the first to step forward, his pace was neither fast nor slow, polite and orderly, both out of respect at first, but also not **.

At this time, some people in the guard had already prepared the instruments of ceremonial music, and a burst of joyful sound of bell chime and wind music suddenly came

Although the surrounding people knew that such a battle must be accompanied by a big man, they did not expect that it would be greeted by three people on horseback in civilian clothes, who seemed to be no different from them except for the dust and dust, so they couldn't help but be curious.

Lord Xue was still a little far away, so he asked with a smile and in a loud voice: "May I ask if there is Yue Fei and Yue Pengju, the great general in front of the battle?"

Yue Fei looked at the old man led by the officials, and saw that he did not lose his sense of proportion in his gestures, thinking that he should be a powerful minister with an extraordinary status, so he clasped his hands and said: "Yue Fei has returned from the pre-battle squad on the order of the imperial court, and has now temporarily stationed the army in Linying, and only two generals have come to Beijing to face the saint!"

"Yue has been on the front line for a long time, please don't be surprised if you don't know how to drive an adult!"

Lord Xue naturally won't be surprised, he still said with a smile: "The old man Xue Ziyan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, led the secretary of the Ministry of Rites and the secretary of the Ministry of Justice, Lord Cao, and the officials of Lin'an came to welcome General Yue's return of honor, today is really worth celebrating, originally His Majesty bluntly said that he would come in person, but recently he was quite unwell, and was persuaded by the ministers, and instead ordered the old man to wait here, Your Majesty, he set up a royal banquet in the palace, General Yue please!"

He spoke well and knew etiquette, and in a few words, he not only introduced the two Shangshu lords who accompanied him to Yue Fei, but also put the emperor at the forefront, which means that although he did not come in person, he still paid attention to the front-line generals who returned with honors, which can be described as extremely talented.

Yue Fei heard him say this, although he didn't take out the holy decree, but after all, he mentioned the emperor, so he knelt on one knee, looked at the palace inside the city gate and bowed three times.

Lord Xue's eyes changed slightly, and he couldn't help but feel a little more admiration, and said: "General Yue, presumably Your Majesty can also feel your loyalty, get up quickly, there are still many people waiting to enter the city in front of this city gate, and it is not too late to bow down when you see Your Majesty!"

Yue Yun and Zhang Xian helped Yue Fei up.

Yue Fei bowed down again and hugged his fists and said: "Xue Shangshu, Cao Shangshu, Liu Shangshu, although Yue Fei is a martial artist, but for the sake of state affairs, it is within his duty to share his worries for His Majesty, and he does not dare to accept His Majesty's hospitality, and it is even more painful for you to greet Yue Fei in front of the city gate!"

Cao Shangshu on the side saw that Yue Fei and Xue Shangshu were happy, and couldn't help but sink his face, and said in a muffled voice: "Your Majesty is still waiting in the palace, do you want to talk like this in front of the city gate?"

Liu Shangshu, the fat official, heard the thorny meaning in his words, and was about to hold him, but saw him turn around and walked towards his soft sedan chair.

Xue Shangshu's face did not change, and said: "What Lord Cao said is not unreasonable, is it okay to ask General Yue to abandon his horse and ride with the old man?"

Yue Fei has been fighting outside all the year round, and he has long been accustomed to coming and going on a war horse, but seeing Xue Shangshu's smile seems to have a deep meaning, plus he is not like the angry face of the military department, nor is he like the official department Shangshu "hiding a knife in his smile", so he nodded to Yue Yun and Zhang Xian, and asked them to take their war horses with them, and they got into the carriage with Xue Shangshu.

The inside of the carriage is not very grandiose, but the arrangement is very simple, but the only thing is that the carriage is still very stable on the stone road, which depends on the cooperation between the coachman and the horse pulling the carriage and the result of long-term training.

"General Yue, the journey is hard, the car is a little simpler, but the coachman is not bad, the driving is smooth, and he has been with me for many years! If you are tired from the journey, you can close your eyes first, and I will wake you up when you get to the palace gate!" Xue Shangshu asked Yue Fei to say.
