Volume 1 Troubled Boys Section 320 The conspiracy is revealed
Yue Lei and Wen Qingqing finally asked for the way out from the mouth of the enthusiastic old couple, and the two old men almost pulled them to eat coarse tea and light rice together, and asked them when they would get married.
Naturally, it was impossible for them to stay there any longer, because there were still two hundred soldiers waiting for them to return, and their current location was less than fifty miles away from Lin'an, and if they hurried, they would be able to arrive in the early hours of tomorrow.
The sun at noon was still very strong, and the people who were shining with the dazzling light couldn't open their eyes, and when Yue Lei and Wen Qingqing went back, the two hundred soldiers had all got on their horses, obviously, they didn't really want to rest.
Seeing this scene, Yue Lei's eyes couldn't help but turn red.
All the people in front of them have been born and died together, and none of them are really afraid of death, only afraid that there is no hope in this life.
But what is hope, when they think of this word, they think of Yue Fei, the commander of the Yue family army who has been in command for many years and has gray temples, they once sang around the fire together, and then they also faced the blood-colored sunset together, and rushed to the enemy army without hesitation.
Fighting, the blood was like a pierced sunset, staining the sky red.
In front of me is a winding and endless ancient road, which looks far away as if it is straight up to the clouds.
The sun shone on everyone's vivid nail leaves, reflecting an even more dazzling light, and the heat of the scorching sun soon pierced through the thick armor, and beads of sweat rolled down their foreheads, but they only saw the road ahead, and behind them was flying smoke and dust.
People who can be born and die for others must have strong beliefs, but since Yue Fei was recalled by the imperial court with twelve gold medals, the 100,000 wolf-like soldiers of the Yue family army had a blank look in their eyes for the first time.
At this moment, they rushed up the ancient road like a rushing river, and they only wanted to take back their marshal, even if they saw him safe.
In the middle of the rush, the long ancient road, which was originally empty and unobstructed, suddenly rose with billowing smoke and dust, as if a galloping fast arrow had left the string.
Yue Lei lightly lifted the reins of his horse, and saw that it was a high-headed horse with extremely fast speed, even better than the ones ridden by their group, which was selected in the world, and there were many well-trained war horses and divine horses.
He couldn't help frowning, and said to Wen Qingqing: "Look at the horse in the distance, it's really rare in the world!"
Wen Qingqing looked carefully for a long time, at this time the horse was already much closer, Yue Lei picked up the spear hanging on the saddle, his expression was vigilant, and the two hundred soldiers were naturally vigilant.
"Brother Lei, I see how that horse is so familiar...... Wen Qingqing looked at it for a long time and said.
"Oops......" she exclaimed in surprise.
Yue Lei knew that Wen Qingqing had always been steady, and it was rare for him to be so startled, so he said: "Qingqing, don't be afraid, no matter what you encounter, I won't let you get hurt with me!"
Who knew that Wen Qingqing shook his head and said, "Brother Lei, don't you feel familiar when you look at the red horse opposite?"
Yue Lei looked at it carefully when he heard it, and at this time the distance was closer, and he saw that it was indeed a jujube red horse with an incomparable divine horse, but on its back was a young man.
"Luobei? Could that be ...... Is it Luobei?"
"Yes, it must be Luobei, that horse is the red coral that Qin Xi lent to Luobei when Qin Xi and Luobei left the Yuejia army camp, it must be his ......" Wen Qingqing said with surprise on her face.
Yue Lei didn't hesitate any longer, threw the spear in his hand to the guards behind him, and galloped out.
On the long ancient road, two horses came facing each other, and behind them were billowing smoke and dust, not far from each other
At a distance, they each grabbed the reins of their horses, and each of them looked surprised, but it soon turned into the joy of reunion.
Yue Lei and Luo Bei rode on their horses and looked at each other for a long time, and both of them suddenly laughed in the sun, this was the first time they had seen each other since the battle of Yuncheng.
"Brother Yue Lei......"
"Rakubei Brothers......"
......
In the imperial study, the emperor sat behind the bookcase, looking down at the folds in front of him.
Standing below are Qin Hui, Wang Boyan, the Secretary of the Criminal Department, the Secretary of the Military Department, Qi Lin, and two teenagers, Zhao Xuan and Zhao Yuan.
"Let's talk about it, what happened to Yue Fei and the others?" the emperor still didn't raise his head, but asked.
Qin Hui bowed down and said: "Back to Your Majesty, Yue Fei and his eldest son Yue Yun and his subordinate general Zhang Xian are all battlefield generals, and it is naturally difficult for them to open their mouth......s during the interrogation of the three divisions."
He turned to look at Qi Lin and said with a smile, "I don't know what Lord Qi Lin can think?"
Qi Lin frowned, his face was like iron, and said, "Does Qin Xiang mean that my Dali Temple has not done its best, or is it that Yue Fei and the three of them are too cunning?"
At this time, Lord Cao, the secretary of the military department, took two steps forward and said: "Lord Qi, Yue Fei and others have made immortal achievements, and they have long been flying in the army, and they have a heart of disobedience, I don't know if they have used torture tools on the three of them?"
Qi Lin looked at the military department and knew that he had always been good at jealousy, and he didn't have a good impression of Yue Fei earlier, maybe the report of Wang Gui and others was fabricated by them, but now he can't say it in public on this occasion.
Facing the book of the military department, Qi Lin was unceremonious, and couldn't help sneering: "Lord Cao, since ancient times, he can't punish doctors, not to mention that Yue Fei is a general who can resist foreign humiliation in our dynasty, although there are reports from Wang and Gui, but it is not possible to confirm that Yue Fei and the three of them have the intention of rebellion, as the lord said, if he already has this heart, why wait until he enters Lin'an to become a turtle in the urn? Lord Cao has been in charge of the military department for many years, if it were you, would you do that 'unsubordinate' thing alone with three people instead of leading an army of 100,000?"
Master Cao was speechless by his words, and could only stare at his eyes and tremble, where could he still speak.
Qi Lin didn't look at him again, but knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, the minister is not exculpating Yue Fei and the others, but about the general of our dynasty, you must be cautious in everything, if you immediately surrender because of the accusations of the two of you, wouldn't it be too hasty?"
Only then did the emperor put down the folds, raised his head, nodded and said: "What Qi Aiqing said is not unreasonable, after all, Yue Fei is a rare general in the imperial court who can fight, not to mention that he has made new military exploits, if he can't come up with a solid evidence, wouldn't it be easy to deal with it and chill the hearts of the soldiers in the world? Therefore, it is absolutely impossible to use a big punishment before there is no real evidence!"
"I don't know what good way a few Aiqing can determine as soon as possible whether they really have the intention of rebellion? If so, they will naturally be dealt with according to the laws of the imperial court, and if not, they can't be locked up like this......
Qin Hui and the others listened carefully to the tone of the emperor's speech, and did not see anything unusual, he looked at Gonggong Sa standing behind the emperor with his spare eyes, and saw that he seemed to be in deep thought, like a stone statue of a Bodhisattva, and there was no expression on his face at all.
How could he not understand that Yue Fei's song "Man Jianghong" was naturally not enough to touch the emperor's disgust for the "Miao Liu Coup", but someone secretly used some way to make him fall into a hallucination, so that the emperor had long regarded Yue Fei in his heart as Miao Fu, Liu Zhengyan and the like, even if it was not classified into the same category, but he was still afraid of the possibility of a coup d'état again by the generals who held military power, and then someone added fuel to the fire
Dali Temple Prison.
However, will the emperor have any doubts or hesitate at this moment? Or is he just thinking about taking solid evidence and giving an explanation to the people of the world after executing Yue Fei?
Zhao Xuan stood in the middle of the hall, looking up at the emperor for a while, and listening to their quarrel for a while, looking very helpless and bored, but after all, with the emperor here, he couldn't say anything, but obviously he didn't mean to listen carefully.
Zhao Ying listened to all this they said, he thought that Yue Fei was in prison, but now it is a situation where the wall is falling down and everyone is pushing, but he didn't expect Qi Lin to dare to stand up and say a few words, but he has also heard of Qi Lin's reputation, maybe he is more upright than he wants to keep Yue Fei himself.
At this time, Wang Boyan, who had not spoken, stood up, smiled and saluted the emperor, and then said slowly: "The old minister has a way, not only can he get a confession from Yue Fei without a big punishment, but also can accurately test whether he Yue Fei really has the heart of rebellion......
The emperor twisted his fingers when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Wang Lao wants to be steady, quickly tell me your thoughts, and everyone will hear it!"
Qin Hui said in his heart: "I should have thought that Wang Boyan, who has not spoken, must have been thinking about something in his heart, he has always been extremely sophisticated about the pros and cons of officialdom, which is also expected......"
Qi Lin and Lord Cao, the secretary of the military department, glanced at each other coldly, and neither of them spoke.
Wang Boyan cleared his throat and said, "Yue Fei has a 100,000-strong Yue family army in his hands, and he can fight habitually, everyone shouldn't forget this, right?"
Hearing him mention the "Yue Family Army", Zhao Ying couldn't help but be shocked, and immediately looked at Wang Boyan, only to see him smiling, unhurried, and seemingly confident.
Zhao Ying has always been calm, but his heart can't help but start beating rapidly, and a thought has been kept in his mind.
"They must be trying to put General Yue to death, what should I do...... What am I going to do...... Do you keep your mouth shut and try to protect yourself, or do you ......"
"Your Majesty, after Yue Fei was ordered to be a teacher, 100,000 Yue family troops are now stationed in Linying!"
"If you want to find out if Yue Fei really has the intention of rebellion, the key is in these 100,000 Yue family troops!"
Wang Boyan smiled at Shangshu of the Ministry of War, and then continued: "Cao Shangshu is in charge of the Ministry of War, so he naturally knows that the movement of my Great Song Army has always been based on His Majesty's holy decree or the official disc of the Ministry of War.
Cao Shangshu patted his head and suddenly realized: "Your Majesty, what Elder Wang said is extremely true, if the 100,000 horses in Linying really have any abnormal movements, it is naturally self-evident, Yue Fei's crime of rebellion is like iron!"
Qi Lin frowned, he didn't expect this, he looked at Wang Boyan, and saw him smiling, obviously this was not a groundless speculation, he couldn't help but kneel on the ground, and said worriedly: "But if the 100,000 army moves to Lin'an, it must be extraordinary, can we do nothing but let it sweep in, how can such a big thing not be guarded against?"
Wang Boyan reported: "Only this move can know a person's heart, if the imperial court has any action now, or cause the 100,000 Yue family army not to dare to move, then it will not be able to help Yue Fei, it is really a heart of unsubordinate, and then it will be to let the tiger return to the mountain!"
Cao Shangshu hurriedly said on the side: "Your Majesty can issue a secret order to the Acropolis Division to guard it closely, and let the nearest garrisons of Lin'an City quietly approach, if the Yue family army really dares to go to Lin'an without authorization, it will not be missed!"
The emperor's eyes became deeper and deeper, making it difficult to fathom his heart, and finally spoke: "According to what several Aiqing said, the military department will carry out my will, and together with the Acropolis Division, send people to closely monitor the movements of the Yue family army in Linying, if the Yue family army moves without an order, Yue Fei will not escape death!"
