One Piece of Song Dynasty

The worst news at present is that the Jin army is still attacking cities and plundering areas in the south of the Yangtze River. Li Cheng, Cao Cheng and other giant bandits have each wreaked havoc on several provinces and caused great harm. Kong Yanzhou, the former training envoy of the Weizhou regiment in Shandong, fled to Dongting Lake and caused great harm. A military thief on one side.

However, Li Xin currently has no time to deal with these groups of giant bandits. When the Jin army withdraws from Jiangnan and Li Xin stabilizes his rear, it will be the end of these groups of giant bandits.

That day, I heard that Wang Qi had picked up Empress Dowager Meng and her entourage and was about to arrive in Quanzhou. Li Xin called Xie Ke's family and said, "Sir, the residence for the Empress Dowager is ready."

The Xie Ke family replied: "Report to the prince, it is ready."

Li Xin nodded and said: "Okay, the Queen Mother is already old and has to wander all the way. Quanzhou is safe here. Let the Queen Mother live her life here in the future."

Xie Kejiazuo bowed and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

At this time, Meng Zhonghou was guarding Empress Dowager Meng and Wang Qi's thousands of fine cavalry were on their way to Quanzhou. Meng Zhonghou looked at the well-trained cavalry guarding him and said doubtfully: "Empress Dowager, when did the Emperor have this Such a well-trained cavalryman, and this horse looks like a good horse at first glance."

Queen Mother Meng sat in the carriage and replied, "I don't know either. I'll find out when I see the emperor and ask."

Soon Wang Qi escorted Empress Dowager Meng and arrived at the gate of Quanzhou City. At this time, Li Xin, Zhu Lian, Zhao Huanhuan, Zhao Ding, Lu Yihao and others were already waiting at the city gate.

Wang Qi dismounted and knelt down to Li Xin and said, "Your Majesty, I have escorted the Queen Mother back."

Li Xin nodded and said: "Okay, you go down first."

Empress Dowager Meng got off the carriage under the service of Meng Zhonghou. Li Xin asked the guards to read out two imperial edicts first, and then stepped forward to pay homage: "Your Majesty, Li Xin, pays homage to the Empress Dowager."

Zhu Lian stepped forward and said, "Zhu Lian pays homage to the Queen Mother."

Zhao Huanhuan also came forward to pay homage and said: "Huanhuan, please visit the Queen Mother."

Later, Zhao Ding, Lu Yihao and others also came forward to pay homage: "I will see the Queen Mother."

At this time, Queen Mother Meng already understood what was going on. Queen Mother Meng raised her hand: "You all get up, Huan Huan, come and let the Queen Mother take a look."

Zhao Huanhuan stepped forward, and Queen Mother Meng held her hand and said, "You are lucky to have escaped from that place in Tokyo. Now that you are married, you must live a good life in the future."

Zhao Huanhuan nodded and said, "Queen Mother, I understand."

Empress Dowager Meng asked Li Xin again: "My lord, I don't know where the emperor is now."

Li Xin replied: "To the Queen Mother, the Emperor is ill and unable to govern. I have sent him to a safe place to rest."

Empress Dowager Meng sighed: "It's good to rest, it's good to rest. The emperor finally doesn't have to worry about being chased by the Jin soldiers. From now on, you can assist the prince in managing the Song Dynasty."

Zhao Ding, Lu Yihao and others bowed and said: "I respectfully obey the Queen Mother's decree."

Li Xin said: "I heard that the Queen Mother was tired from riding the horse all the way, and was not feeling well after being harassed by the Jin people. I have arranged a residence for the Queen Mother in Quanzhou. Please move to the Queen Mother and let the doctor take a good look at the Queen Mother. It is safe here in Quanzhou, Queen Mother." But I can rest assured here to recuperate, and I will not let the golden soldiers attack the Queen Mother again."

Empress Dowager Meng nodded and said: "Okay, I will accept the prince's love."

After Li Xin took Empress Dowager Meng and others into the city to settle down, Li Xin called Zhao Huanhuan: "Huanhuan, tomorrow I will have Yanze sent from Xinghan. From now on, you can take Yanze with you often." Stay with the Queen Mother, the old man will recover quickly if he has his children by his side."

Zhao Huanhuan nodded and said: "Yes, husband, I haven't seen Yanze for a long time. I miss him so much."

Yue Fei on the other side was in Yixing worrying about food and wages. Yue Fei has more than soldiers, family members accompanying the army, and refugees from all over the country. He has hundreds of thousands of mouths to eat every day. Without food, discipline cannot be maintained, and it may even lead to a mutiny in the army. Even Zhang Zhu, a land of plenty in Taihu Lake, cannot afford such a huge consumption. Yue Fei also had strict military discipline and would never tolerate soldiers robbing the people. However, he could not avoid forcing food and grass to be distributed to various places wherever he went.

That day, Yue Fei was sitting in his tent. On the pretext that he had not collected all the rations that had been distributed, several generals took Zhang Danian, Zhang Zhu's leader, in and threatened to beat him with a hundred military sticks. Yue Fei asked why, drank quickly, helped Zhang Danian up in person, and apologized, saying that the people in the southeast had been severely harmed by the army, bandits, and bandits, and now they were losing money, food, and fodder to the army. The people's strength was exhausted, but our army had no merit. I am ashamed of the people of Jiangnan.

Zhang Danian was so moved by Yue Fei's words that he went home all night to mobilize the people and overpaid the allotted grain and grass. Zhang Danian and Yue Fei became friends from then on.

My mother-in-law lives in Zhangzhu Town, Yixing, and likes to walk around when she has nothing to do. However, the local dialect is really difficult to understand, but the local officials and people all rely on Yue Fei to protect the territory and the territory, and they are very willing to please Mrs. Yue. On this day, Zhang Danian invited his mother-in-law and Yao Da to visit his home. He also visited Zhouchu Temple and acted as a matchmaker for Yue Fei.

The girl who proposes marriage is named Li Wa. Her family is one of the richest families in the area. She is good-looking, thrifty and filial. She was too picky in her early years. In recent years, due to the war, she has already reached the age of twenty in a blink of an eye, and her life-long events have been delayed. According to Zhang Danian, the young master is now a prince in the town, and the marriage between a hero and a beauty couldn't be more suitable.

Yue Fei is not young at all. He is already twenty-seven years old this year, and his age is just right. His mother-in-law is naturally overjoyed. She saw that the person enshrined in the temple was Zhou Chu of the Jin Dynasty, who went up the mountain to kill tigers, went into the water to bind dragons, and the prodigal son turned back without exchange for gold. Then she realized that Yixing was Zhou Chu's hometown. The mother-in-law saluted and recited the Buddha's name, then walked to another room and saw a stone statue that she didn't recognize, but it looked very familiar. After looking at it for a long time, she suddenly said: "Isn't this my Yue Fei? What do you mean?"

Zhang Danian explained that since General Yue came to Zhangzhu, Yixing has not been harassed by thieves anymore, and the surrounding people have helped the elderly and children to take refuge in Yixing. In order to repay Yue Fei's kindness, local wealthy households built this shrine to General Yue Fei in Zhouchu Temple. His mother-in-law asked him uneasily: "My son has built a shrine before he has made any achievements. This will shorten his life. Does Yue Fei know about this?"

Zhang Danian said continuously: "I know, I came to see you the day before yesterday. Your son is worshiped every day as if he were a god. How could he have lost his life? Madam is worried too much." Yao Da also helped and said: "My nephew is the son-in-law of Yixing. It's time to set up a shrine." The scenery is not that I will go to Yue Fei to propose marriage and solve my sister's worries."

The mother-in-law didn't say anything, but she was unhappy in her heart, so she went to look for Yue Fei when she came back. However, Yue Fei was busy with military affairs and could not find him for a while. During the Anti-Japanese War, everything was kept simple. Yao Da exchanged posts with the girl's family, sent betrothal gifts, and worked hard for a few days with lights and colorful decorations. After everything was settled, he called Yue Fei back from the military camp and paid homage to her to get married.
