Jiangshan Road is far away with the night star,

The dawn is thousands of miles away.

The drizzle and dust are hard to wash,

The future is rugged with mountains and mountains.

At the beginning of the rain, the outside of Lin'an City ushered in a vague dawn early.

The morning fog had not yet lifted, and in the midst of the rumbling was a long ancient road.

The ancient road is thousands of miles, how many gatherings and scattering, how many tears have been recruited, and how many drums have been heard.

And at this moment, in the white mist of the early morning, this ancient road full of years has returned to unprecedented tranquility.

In Lin'an City, because of the rain for three days, although it was not as heavy as at the beginning, it was already sad in the hearts of the people.

However, it is a blessing to be at home with his wife and children, although he can't go out every day, he doesn't have to really run for his stomach, which is good in today's years, and most people are naturally content.

At the farthest point of the ancient road, it is as if heaven and earth are connected together.

At this time, I saw a few fast horses coming from the sky, and behind them were billowing smoke and dust.

In a trance, you can see that there are actually only three fast horses, but these three horses are all handsome, looking from a distance, as if galloping between heaven and earth, and suddenly they are almost in front of the Lin'an City Gate.

These days, because of the heavy rains, very few people enter and leave, so the gates are opened later.

About a few miles from the city gate, three fast horses suddenly stopped, and the men on the horses looked up, and the faint dawn could not hide the dust on their faces.

The first person is nearly forty years old, and the plain robe he wears has turned slightly white, obviously after washing too many times to become like this, the long beard is gently fluttering in the wind, the face is slightly dark, and the eyes are like stars, only the long hair has a few strands of silver between the temples.

"Immediately sword and bow, the years are urging people, and when you enter Lin'an again, you can't imagine that your temples are already gray!" Yue Fei looked at the city gate in the distance and couldn't help but sigh.

It turned out that the three people who came on horseback were the former army generals Yue Fei and the eldest son Yue Yun who had just settled the army and stationed in Ezhou, and the pioneer Zhang Xian.

Niu Gao and other generals all stayed in Ezhou, in order to show sincerity, Yue Fei didn't even bring a soldier as the generals said, but only brought Yue Yun and Zhang Xian.

He naturally knows why the imperial court let him hurry up to the class, after the big victory in front, his reputation and merit are not the same, quite a bit of merit shocking the master, and this time he not only obeyed the order of the class, lost the great opportunity to recover the Central Plains, but also full of ambition to return to the court, in order to state his ambition with the emperor, even if he is shrouded in horse leather to recover the good rivers and mountains of the Great Song Dynasty.

Although Niu Gao and others were very worried about his safety, they couldn't twist the temperament of this "big brother", but fortunately, there were still Han Shizhong and others in the court, so Yue Fei's safety didn't have to worry too much.

Yue Fei looked at Lin'an City in the early morning, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion, thinking that he first entered the Lin'an Dynasty to see the Son of Heaven after recovering the Dongting flooded Yang Qi, but he didn't expect his mother to pass away three months later, he was grief-stricken, and personally helped the coffin back to Lushan for burial, but it didn't take long for the court to order the war ahead to be tense, and asked him to go to mourn and wave the army to the Northern Expedition.

That night, he knelt in front of his mother's spirit and cried, telling his mother that he was alive, loyalty and filial piety could not be both, and he could only re-enter the army by order.

"Father, it seems that the gate of Lin'an City has not yet opened, why don't we find a place to rest for a while before entering the city?" Yue Yun knew that Yue Fei was full of concerns, so he flicked the reins of his horse and stepped forward to say.

"I see that the city gate is about to be opened, since I have reached the city, how can I not go to the king first? After entering the city, I will enter the palace alone to see the driver, and you two can go to the post house to rest for a while!"

Yue Fei is very majestic in the army, not to mention Yue Yun, even Niu Gao, who worships each other, does not dare to collide at will, and only Dong Xian, the general who fell into the trap and died in the Thirteen Mountains, can mention a few words in front of him, but it is also "curve to save the country".

Yue Yun turned around and glanced at Zhang Xian, smiled awkwardly, and didn't care, the reason why he said this was not only because he was tired from traveling for many days, but also because he was the same as Zhang Xian, there was already a drum in his stomach that began to ring non-stop.

Yue Fei and the three of them rode slowly outside the city, and at this time, the smoke was gradually rising in the villages around Lin'an City, and the people started a new day.

Yue Fei couldn't help but sigh: "Since ancient times, the country has been strong, and the people have been safe, and today's Great Song Dynasty can only see such a quiet and peaceful scene in Lin'an!"

Yue Yun reined in the reins of the horse, he knew that his father was facing this prosperous Lin'an City at the moment, and his feelings were extremely complicated, and he must think of the people who were deeply poisoned by the war, as well as the land of China that fell into the hands of others, he was always thinking about recovering the lost land and returning the two saints, but now that he was victorious at the beginning, he encountered unprecedented resistance, which showed that the imperial court may have doubts.

Although Yue Yun rarely had the opportunity to enter the court, he had heard many things from others in the court, and he couldn't help but say angrily and worriedly: "Father, this time I am fighting bloodily in front, but the court has recruited you with twelve gold medals, this must be a villain in front of His Majesty to confuse the public, foul words, father must be careful when facing the saint alone, Uncle Dong Xian also often said that accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, not to mention that my father has been in charge of the army for many years, Your Majesty may be worried!"

Yue Fei listened, stroked his beard, and said with a calm smile: "I don't know what you said, but I ask myself to be loyal to the monarch, loyal to the society, loyal to the people of the world, and have no selfish heart, even if there is still a day in this life, I will take the blood of the ministers as a warning, why do I regret this life?"

Yue Yun and Zhang Xian glanced at each other when they heard his father's words, and they couldn't help frowning, they were almost the same worry in their hearts, so after settling down the army, the two of them went on the road, Yue Fei said very little along the way, but they could still see that he was worried.

The two of them have long known that from receiving the twelve gold medals of the imperial court on the front line to deciding on the class teacher Yue Fei did not know how much pain and struggle they had experienced, although the generals were excited and angry, but compared to Yue Fei, they could still scold angrily, get drunk, and have a way to vent, and as the commander of the army, Yue Fei, he could only lock himself in the camp and shut himself up.

He didn't close his eyes for three days and three nights.

Yue Fei didn't say it, but this trip to face the saint must be difficult to change the emperor's hesitant attitude between war and peace, even if he knew it, he had already made up his mind not to give up until he reached his goal.

"Father's ......"

"If I have the chance, I want to go to my grandmother's grave to worship!" Yue Yun said suddenly.

Yue Fei looked at this eldest son who had been following him in the southern and northern wars for many years, and a smile appeared on his dusty face.

"Since ancient times, the princes of heaven and earth have been in an orderly manner, and after entering the pilgrimage, they will go up to Lushan with you for their father!"

The city gate in front of me slowly opened, and the people inside and outside the city entered and exited freely, and for a while, it was like an endless stream of water, and it instantly moved from static.

There are more and more people in front of the city gate, I wonder if there is any grand and grand event?

Yue Fei pointed to Lin'an City in the early morning fog with a horsewhip, and said loudly: "Let's enter the city quickly!"

......

In front of Lin'an City, as soon as the city gate opened, two teams of brightly armored guards immediately lined up.

The crowd was blocked out by these two groups of guards armed with bright weapons, so that those who wanted to enter the city to run errands when the city gate was opened could only rely on it temporarily

On one side.

Although everyone did not dare to step forward, they were still inevitably curious, and they all stood behind the crowd and tiptoed to look inside.

The majestic guards with weapons in their hands rushed out, standing in two rows according to the city gate, and the armor they wore was bright and special, as long as you have a little knowledge, you will know that these people are the Acropolis Division responsible for the security and defense of Lin'an City.

Although the Yamen of the Acropolis Division is not large, it can be regarded as extremely important here in Lin'an, so even for many officials in the city, the Acropolis Division is a place that cannot be provoked casually.

Therefore, since the Acropolis Division is in an important position, the shelf will also be bigger, and there are many large and small yamen in Lin'an, and they are naturally not needed to maintain order on ordinary occasions, but this time I don't know what happened, I actually went directly to the front of the city gate to line up, and the last time I saw such a scene was when the emperor went out of the city gate to personally welcome the descendants of Taizu who returned from the north.

Many ordinary people didn't dare to speak indiscriminately, but they also wondered in their hearts whether there was any important person coming back this time, which once again alarmed the "emperor master" who was sitting firmly in the high city.

At this time, a person slowly walked out of the city gate, and behind him were many tall and short, fat and thin officials in official uniforms.

These people have different eyebrows, but all of them are dressed very ceremoniously, as if they are taking out the most precious court dress in their lives, although there are many of them, but they have their own order, and they are not chaotic like "mixed fish and dragons" at a glance.

The leader was quite old, with a full head of white hair tied in a high crown, and a thin face, but when he walked, he was like stepping on seven stars, and his expression was radiant, not like an old man with white hair.

These people were headed by him, followed by two people, one fat and one thin, judging from the official uniforms, the three of them had almost the same rank, and the people who followed them smiled without dissatisfaction when they saw his gaze, and called them "Shangshu".

The oldest in the front is the official book of the Ministry of Rites of the Dynasty "Lord Xue", and the two beside him are the official department and the military department, according to the reason, the official department will master the major event of official promotion, and the military department dominates the world's soldiers and horses, which is the top priority, and the Ministry of Rites is based on the national code system and the etiquette imperial examination, which is usually a head shorter than the above two, but the old Lord Xue has gone through three dynasties, which can be described as a remarkable identity, and the emperor named him to lead "this matter", so everyone thinks he is "the head of the horse".

The ministers of the court did not go to court today, but rushed to the city gate when it first opened, obviously waiting for an extremely important person.

Lord Xue straightened his clothes, which was his habit for many years as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

"Ladies and gentlemen, don't talk to each other, the Lord Yue we are waiting for is about to arrive, he has fought for the imperial court for many years, and he has worked hard, don't leave an impression of lack of etiquette as soon as you meet!"

The fat official Shangshu smiled faintly and said, "I heard that this time to welcome His Majesty Marshal Yue's class master was supposed to come in person, but he was ...... Persuade me, so as not to be arrogant in the hearts of the returning generals, so I was asked to wait, but His Majesty still personally told everyone not to miss the number of courtesies, so everything should be based on Lord Xue's horse!"

The military department Shangshu sneered and said: "Is this not enough to be thoughtful enough to be polite? There are enough three of the six Shangshu, Your Majesty is too merciful, and a general who wants to lead the troops outside is just a few victories, I think I ...... back then."

Lord Xue and the secretary of the ministry glanced at each other, everyone knew why this secretary of the military department was displeased, it stands to reason that even if the general who led the troops outside returned victorious, he had to go to the military department to report on his work first, and then he could meet the emperor, but this time he let himself personally go to the city gate to greet Yue Fei, no wonder he was full of anger.
