"It's foggy today, why did you come here?" Zhao Gou asked in the Chui Gong Hall, looking at Queen Wu walking in slowly.
Queen Wu entered the palace and sat next to Zhao Gou. "I have seen that Your Majesty has been depressed these past two days. Is it because of the Buddha statue?"
"The price of the Buddha statue has increased again?" Zhao Gou said in disbelief.
"Yeah, I don't know what the Bodhisattva is going to tell us. It's just a manifestation, but there are no words, which makes people anxious." Empress Wu said quietly.
"Ah, what is that..."
"Come here, protect the Supreme Emperor..."
Suddenly, bursts of noisy sounds came from outside the Chui Gong Hall.
Zhao Gou's expression changed, and Queen Wu stood up and called: "Cui'er!"
The maid Cui'er hurriedly entered the palace.
"What happened outside? Why is it so noisy?" Queen Wu asked plainly.
Cui'er hesitated for a moment, then said: "This... Your Majesty, Your Majesty, a huge statue of a general appeared in the sky, which caused a commotion!"
brush!
Zhao Gou's expression changed, and he stood up immediately, ignoring Queen Wu, and stepped out directly.
When he arrived outside the palace, he looked up and sure enough, above the void and in the heavy fog, there was a huge black-armored general, holding a spear, standing quietly.
"This is... General Big Eyes?" Empress Wu exclaimed. Isn't the statue of the general above the void none other than Yue Fei and Yue Pengju who has been dead for twenty years?
"Pa..." But it was Zhao Gou on the other side who suddenly swayed, and then fell to the ground...
This statue of the general was so huge that not only Zhao Gou, but everyone in Lin'an City saw it! When the excited students saw this, they became excited again.
Under their demonstration, the dead Yue Fei actually appeared. Isn't that enough? What else can I say? With the blessing of gods, of course they should continue to march.
The high officials in the court who had just returned home from the court were also stunned. The faces of the people from the main peace faction were trembling and cold, but the people from the main war faction were suddenly overjoyed. Although, they did not know why Yue Fei's appearance happened.
However, they know that 80% of what they planned will come true.
In the Chongzheng Palace, Zhao Shen also looked at the shadow in the sky. After a while, he suddenly said: "Chuan Shi Hao, enter the palace quickly!"
Although Zhao Gou fell down, he did not pass out. A group of people carried Zhao Gou into the hall in a panic. Zhao Gou's eyes were blank and he murmured four words, 'The sky is angry and the people are angry!'
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..." Queen Wu looked at Zhao Gou anxiously from the side, "Cui'er, please send the imperial doctor quickly..."
"No need!" Zhao Gou sighed softly, "I am fine. Queen, please ask Shen'er to come over!"
Seeing that Zhao Gou had regained consciousness, Empress Wu felt slightly relieved and hurriedly asked her maid to call Zhao Shen.
Chuigong Hall and Chongzheng Hall are not far apart, so Zhao Shen hurried over in less than a quarter of an hour.
"Father, you..." Looking at the expressionless Zhao Gou, Zhao Shen was shocked and threw himself directly to the side of the bed, holding Zhao Gou's hand!
"Queen, please go out, I will talk to Shen'er about something!" Zhao Gou said quietly.
Empress Wu hesitated for a moment and said, "Shen'er, take good care of your father. If anything happens, call the imperial doctor at any time." After that, she left with everyone, and only Zhao Gou was left in the hall.
and Zhao Shen.
"Shen'er, have you seen that void statue?" Zhao Gou slowly spoke after everyone left.
Zhao Shen nodded, "I saw it!"
"Shen'er, have you ever blamed me for killing that Yue Fei and allowing me, the Song Dynasty, to settle in the southeast?"
Zhao Shen heard this and hurriedly prostrated, "Father, what happened back then was all caused by Qin Hui and others falsely passing on the Holy Order. What does it have to do with my father? It's true that Yue Pengju's military exploits were outstanding, but how kind was his father to him? Looking at me In the hundreds of years since the Song Dynasty, how many people have been ranked in the prime position at the age of thirty? If not for the full support of my father, how could Yue Pengju's achievements have been achieved?"
"Father, there are indeed some scoundrels in the court talking nonsense, but father, don't worry, I will definitely deal with them severely!"
Zhao Shen's words made Zhao Gou's face soften slightly, "Shen'er, what happened back then was indeed the exclusive power of Qin Hui and others, but I also have the suspicion of indulgence..."
"Father!"
Zhao Gou waved his hand and interrupted Zhao Shen, "Shen'er, listen to me! First, the Yue Family Army under Yue Fei was already the strongest soldier in the Song Dynasty. The Yue Family Army only heard Yue Fei's name, but Ignore the voice of the imperial court... You know how I got the empire of Zhao and Song, how can I feel at ease in this situation?"
"Back then, even my imperial command and gold medal could not mobilize the Yue family's army. Shen'er felt uneasy as a father!"
"Secondly, at that time, everyone only saw Yue Fei fighting against the Jin soldiers again and again, but how did they know that every battle cost countless money and food! When the imperial court moved south, only half of the Song Dynasty would be left. If If we continue to fight, the only way for my father is to raise taxes. When the time comes, the people will not be able to make a living, or even the government will force the people to rebel, and even half of our country will be in danger! The Jin soldiers have been defeated, but the smoke is everywhere, so what should we do?"
After saying that, Zhao Gou sighed softly. In fact, there is another third reason, that is, Yue Fei mentioned several times that he should be established as a prince early, but for Zhao Gou who was in the prime of life, this was tantamount to going against his will!
"So, there is no clear right or wrong about what happened back then, but my father has no regrets. If it were to happen again, I would still do the same!"
After listening to Zhao Gou's story, even Zhao Shen could not help but be stunned. He did not expect that there were such things behind this incident! If so, then Yue Fei's death was indeed unjust, but in the royal family's view , but he also had a right approach to death.
"Shen'er, it's not easy to be an emperor! They only see the glory of being an emperor, but they don't know the hardships of being an emperor! Being an emperor not only has to bear the burden of fame, but also the incomprehension and even anger of others!"
"My father has been the emperor for thirty-five years. Now I pass the throne to you. I hope you can strengthen our country, Zhao Song. In this way, I can die for my father with peace of mind."
"Father!" Zhao Shen cried and prostrated, "I will live up to my father's trust, uphold my father's aspirations, and strengthen our country!"
Seeing Zhao Shen burst into tears, Zhao Gou also showed a somewhat kind look on his face. Although this is not his own son, isn't it enough to be equally filial to him? The reason why he finally chose this Zhao Shen instead of Isn't it precisely because of this that Zhao Bojiu was chosen? With a son like this, even though he has passed on the throne, he should be satisfied!
"Shen'er, since my father passed the throne to you, I will naturally clear the way for you! You don't need to say anything about Yue Fei's matter! Tomorrow, my father will draw up a decree to rehabilitate Yue Fei!"
