Reborn Yue Feizhi returns my rivers and mountains

Let us say that Du Chong went all the way south to Jiankang Mansion and met Emperor Gaozong in the court. He left his post without permission and should have been punished, but because he had a false reputation and came here in the name of protecting the emperor, Emperor Gaozong Instead of holding him accountable, he showered him with praise.

Emperor Gaozong was appointed as a member of the Privy Council of Tongzhi for his meritorious service in guarding Tokyo. He also wrote this in his promotion speech: "The greatest pioneering work is to conquer an army thousands of miles away. The constitution of all nations in civil and military affairs depends on the goodness of all virtues." . I am worried about the difficulties that have not been solved, and I have thought of the extraordinary help. I will always cherish the hero for a long time. The imperial court has stopped here, and the key has been severed. I have paid the cardinal the weight of an official, who is strong and perseverant, indulges in predators and has plans, and is partial to the country. When a family dies, you gain the courage of your husband. He anticipates the enemy when the opportunity arises, and has the style of famous ancient generals. He is more prepared for hundreds of battles than guarding two capitals. Yi Xia is famous but exhausted, and the soldiers and the people tend to die and are single-minded."

When this word came to Yue Fei's ears, he was stunned.He had always known that the Southern Song Dynasty court was unknown, but coming to Jiankang this time was an eye-opener.A man like Du Chong, who was so vain but had no actual achievements, could actually be recognized by the court.He was not punished for digging up the Yellow River and causing harm to the whole world, nor was he punished for leaving his post without permission and leading his army southward.Instead, he praised him with all his praise and promoted him to a higher rank, as if Du Chong was the mainstay of the entire Southern Song Dynasty.

And the problem is that not only Emperor Gaozong placed Du Chong in such high regard, but also important officials in the court such as Lu Yihao, Zhang Jun and others.This made Yue Fei very strange. Could it be that Du Chong couldn't use ecstasy?Unexpectedly, the civil and military officials in the imperial court were able to ignore Guo Yong's words and only respect him.

On the other hand, Du Chong himself, although he was already in power, was still dissatisfied, so he complained of illness and refused to go to court.Emperor Gaozong sent someone to invite him, but Du Chong excused himself on the grounds that he had suffered a stroke.

Emperor Gaozong still refused to give up on this "wonder of the world" and personally approved Du Chong's resignation memorial to appease him.

One of them wrote: "Today's matter is to examine the opportunity, establish the scale first, and prove that I am enough to defeat the other party, and I am enough to defend this. With your talents and knowledge and courage, I will give you my troops according to ancient and modern times." As Mencius said, people in the country say: Those who are virtuous will put them to good use. Isn’t that what I have in mind? I’m sorry that Lei Zhang was too disrespectful to avoid my words, so don’t repeat them again.”

The second one even wrote: "I have experienced many hardships in life. I have been looking for help in the rivers and rivers, and I have been seeking talents in vain. I should give back to Xingxing. I am responsible for the wonders of the world, both ancient and modern. I have roughly summarized the achievements of the two capitals, and I have heard about them all over the world. Promotion is based on the twists and turns, and the common people are a little more lenient than worry. My determination is set at the beginning of summoning you, and your plan is completed at the time of killing me. It is best not to allow it."

Several times, Du Chong just claimed to be ill and refused to take office. At this time, Emperor Gaozong gradually understood that Du Chong was not ill, but just because he thought he was a junior official.What Du Chong wanted was no longer just governance, but the status left behind by the two thieves Huang and Wang.

In this case, how could Emperor Gaozong dare to treat this "wonder of the world" badly?Soon Du Chong was promoted to the right servant of Shangshu Tongping Zhangshi, that is, the right prime minister.Perhaps it was because of being hit by this huge official position that Du Chong's apoplexy body performed miracles.Four days after the announcement of the Mingxiang System, Du Chong was able to take charge immediately.I took office happily.

In addition, Emperor Gaozong soon ordered Du Chong to serve as the Jianghuai Propaganda Envoy, leading a camp of more than [-] troops to guard Jiankang. Guo Zhongxun, the commander-in-chief of the capital, was subordinated to him, and Wang Xie, the commander of the imperial army and the front army, was supported by him.Han Shizhong, the governor of Zuoguodu in front of the emperor, was appointed envoy to the west of Zhejiang and guarded Zhenjiang Prefecture; Taiwei and deputy envoy Liu Guangshi of the imperial camp were envoys to Xuanfu in Jiangdong, guarding Taiping and Chizhou. Han Shizhong and Liu Guangshi were still controlled by Du Chong.

At this time, Yue Fei was in Du Chong's army. Because Emperor Gaozong entrusted Du Chong with important tasks, Yue Fei rarely had some free time.Thinking that people and horses were everywhere at this time, I wanted to take this opportunity to walk around again.

On this day, Yue Fei took Zhang Xian with him all the way to Liu Guangshi's camp and ordered the flag officer to enter and report.Not long after, the flag officer ran and led Yue Fei and Yue Fei into the Chinese army's tent.

As soon as Fang entered the door, Liu Guangshi stood up from his seat, came forward with a big smile, and said, "Pengju, we haven't seen each other for several years, but we didn't expect to meet here."

Yue Fei quickly bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty, Taiwei, you are well. Pengju has been in Jiankang for many days. I just know that your Majesty is busy with affairs at court, so I dare not come to disturb you."

Liu Guangshi smiled and led Yue Fei to his seat, and ordered the sergeant to bring tea, and said: "You and I have known each other for many years, so there is no need to be polite. Since you are here, don't go back tonight. I will be with you at the left-behind department." Go and tell me, Pengju will rest with me tonight and we can have a good talk."

Seeing Liu Guangshi's enthusiasm, Yue Fei couldn't shirk it, so he said, "Your Majesty Taiwei is very kind. Pengju just listens to your arrangements."

Liu Guangshi smiled and said, "That's right!" After saying this, he ordered people to arrange a banquet, and at the same time, he ordered people to go to the left-behind department to explain that Yue Fei and Zhang Xian were staying here tonight and would not return to camp.

After everything was settled, Yue Fei introduced Zhang Xian to Liu Guangshi. Liu Guangshi sighed to Zhang Xian: "I have known you for a long time, but it's a pity that he was under Du Chong at the time. He didn't know any heroes, but he made the pearl fall into dust. However, If you follow Pengju, you will not disgrace your father's name, and you will be able to ask for advice from him, and you will definitely become a general in the army one day." Zhang Xian nodded in agreement.

That night, Liu Guangshi hosted a banquet for Yue Fei and Zhang Xian. After three drinks, Zhang Xian followed the sergeant to rest elsewhere, leaving only Liu Guangshi and Yue Fei in the tent.

Liu Guangshi ordered the people to remove the banquet, served tea and fruits, and turned away everyone. Then he said: "Pengju, I have heard a lot about your reputation in the army in the past few years. Where is your official position now?"

Yue Fei said: "Thanks to Taiwei, Pengju is now appointed as Doctor Wude and Governor of Yingzhou."

Liu Guangshi sighed and said: "It's still a little slow. I also heard a little bit about Du Chong's incident in Tokyo. At that time, Zong Shuai's troops were scattered everywhere and became countless bandits. I guess you are Zong Shuai." Disciple, there are many constraints in what you do. Otherwise, your merits will not stop there."

Yue Fei smiled bitterly and said: "Today in front of the Taiwei, Peng Jufang dared to say that Du Chong is a man with great ambition but little talent. I really don't know why the Lord, Lu, Zhang and others value him so much."

When Liu Guangshi heard Yue Fei talking about Du Chong, he said angrily: "That's why my army is now being restrained by him. I will submit a memorial to ask for it in the near future. I have long heard that Du Chong is a cruel man, and there is no reason to do it in front of him." To be so angry."

Hearing what Liu Guangshi said, Yue Fei immediately thought of the record in the history books: "Guangshi also wrote a letter saying that there are six reasons why he should not be restrained by Du Chong. The emperor was angry and ordered him to cross the river, and ordered not to let Guangshi enter the palace gate." So he persuaded him. He said: "Your Majesty Taiwei, you don't have to be like this. Now that Du Chong is in power, if we say goodbye again and again, I'm afraid the Holy One will not like it and it will be detrimental to you. Why don't we just follow the Holy Majesty's wishes and go to the front of the army temporarily. I think Du Chong's power will not last long. Then you will have your own future."

Liu Guangshiqi said: "Du Chong has just been appointed right minister at this time. How can Pengju say that his power will not last long?"

Of course, it was impossible for Yue Fei to say that he knew that Du Chong would send gold, so he said: "Now is the time when autumn is exhausted, and the Jin people will definitely cross the Yangtze River and invade south. With Du Chong's ability, they will definitely abandon the river. Escape. Sir, please think about it, how long will it last?"

Liu Guangshi nodded in agreement and gave up the idea of ​​writing a letter to avoid Emperor Gaozong's anger.The two talked for a long time at night, about what had happened since their separation and about the war situation in the world, and they didn't fall asleep until the fourth watch.
