Chapter 1514 The national disaster is at the head, and we can still work together
Until Zhang Xian, Tang Huai, Xu Qing, and Yao Zheng lived in front of a residence in Xiaoti Village, Yonghe Township. In the middle hall of the courtyard that seemed to be old, there was a candlestick and an incense burner arranged neatly.
Yue Fei knelt upright in front of the candlestick, letting his mother Yao stab his back with an embroidery needle. A wisp of blood suddenly slipped from the strong and strong muscles of his back. Yao seemed to be surprised when he saw this.
He sighed secretly, and then quietly wiped away the blood with a handkerchief. After he finished tattooing the words, Yao took vinegar ink and smeared it on his back. Yue Fei solemnly saluted his mother before standing up.
.
And Yue Fei was shirtless, with four words still faintly stained with blood stabbed on his strong back: Serve the country with loyalty!
When Yue Fei put on his clothes and bowed to thank his mother for training him, Zhang Xian, Tang Huai and other four people had gone straight to the front of the central hall. Among them, Zhang Xian was the first to greet him loudly: "Brother, Xu Qing, Yao Zheng
The brothers have indeed found out clearly. Dr. Liu Xianggong of Wuyi recruited martyrs at the Xiangzhou Administration Office and recruited the defeated officers and soldiers on Hedong Road. The war in Hedong is now tense, and Bianjing is about to send another rescue to the north... It's just that
I heard that the commander who led the army to the north was Xiao Renxia, who had been pardoned by the imperial court and awarded the title of Grand Marshal of the World's Soldiers and Horses..."
After hearing this, Yue Fei's expression changed slightly, and soon he calmed down, and said in a deep voice: "It is true that he can achieve such a great cause for the country... It is a pity that he is still the one who makes such deviant plots.
Although the great crime of rebellion is not a serious evil deed to the people of Li, it can only refer to the rebellion of the superiors and the deception of the emperor... A good man must be upright and humble even if he is temporarily depressed.
He should not seek power and profit through evil practices. Although he rescued the emperor and the young emperor who were kidnapped by gold thieves, how could he not manipulate the court and control the king? How could he live up to the teachings and advice given to him by his adoptive father?
A big favor?"
Xu Qing and Yao Zheng were both born in Tangyin, Xiangzhou, and both admired Yue Fei's loyalty and bravery and were willing to join the army with him. After getting along for a period of time, Xu Qing and Yao Zheng, of course, also knew that the brother they had defected to had a strong sense of self.
The principles and bottom lines are extremely strict and clear, and there is no room for any mistakes or violations. However, Xiao Tangshi, the leader of the rebel army who defeated the Jin State's East Road Army and inspired the people of the Song Dynasty, still felt a little uncomfortable when he heard his comments.
Among them, Xu Qing was the first to say: "Brother, now we are all vying to kill the Tatars, at least why bother about it now? At least Xiao Renxia was very kind to his brother in the past, and now he is willing to raise a rebel army to fight against foreign enemies. It's really
There is no trace of falsehood in it! Since the imperial court was willing to forgive his previous crimes and promised him military power, he could go and fight the Jin Army Tatars with peace of mind. As for how his brother plans to get along with Xiao Renxia in the future, it will be a matter of future affairs.
Just worry about it."
Yue Fei pondered for a moment, but still sighed and said: "Although Xiao Tang was pardoned by the court for a while for his grave crime of rebellion, it was all because of the Jurchen Tatars who invaded and harmed the country of the Central Plains. Since he has no loyalty to the court at all,
He said that although he stepped forward during the national crisis, he also took advantage of the crisis of the country to plot evil. Even his crime of rebellion was pardoned... The imperial court is currently facing foreign troubles, and now it is setting up a general in the name of serving the emperor.
The Yamen town is self-defeating, but if there is another retrograde, the central government cannot punish it. I am afraid that it will shake the country's foundation, and it will become a serious problem for the country in the long run. Although it is difficult for me to repay his great kindness, but since Xiao Tang has committed a rebellion
In the past, I could only cut off all ties with him regarding his activities, so how can I get mixed up with him now?"
"It is said that whether loyalty is against the emperor or not, a country cannot be left without an owner for a day. Mr. Xiao has indeed committed a crime of treason..."
There was silence in the middle hall for a while, but Yue Fei's mother, Yao, suddenly said: "Although my son is determined and determined to be loyal to the emperor's court, he will never do anything against the country. However, my Yue family has indeed been treated badly by Mr. Xiao.
The kindness is true, and when I was under his care in Hebei, how could my son not know that Mr. Xiao was definitely not a treacherous person?
However, although Xianggong Xiao once betrayed the imperial court, it was indeed to protect the people of Li from being invaded by foreign invaders. At least the imperial court granted Xianggong Xiao the position of marshal to appease the people. Now it is the time for the country to use you, and it will be difficult to do so.
As long as my son remembers the four words "loyalty and service to the country" engraved on your back by your mother, the Qing Dynasty will be Qing Dynasty. Why should you deliberately get rid of the relationship and avoid getting entangled with Xianggong Xiao? "
Zhang Xian and Tang Huai knew that before they met Yue Fei, they were hit by floods in their foreign country, their families were poor, and their lives were difficult to survive, so they moved to Hebei since they were young. Although Yue Fei's mother, Yao, was just a peasant woman from the countryside, she was very independent.
, and Yue Fei, who has been taciturn since he was a child, has a very strict family upbringing. However, anything that Yue Fei believes in is not only wealth and wealth, but also power and power. It is difficult to teach the straight and stubborn Yue Pengju to change his mind, no matter how others show his interests or harms.
...
Especially after Yue Fei's father Yue He and his mentor Zhou Tong died one after another, if the only one who could possibly change Yue Fei's thoughts and ideas was Yue Fei's mother Yao Yao.
Therefore, I heard that the Yao family actually persuaded Yue Fei that even if the anti-Jin warriors recruited by Xiangzhou were subject to Xiaotang's control, they must not miss the opportunity to join the army again this time. Zhang Xian, Tang Huai, Xu Qing, and Yao Zheng were four of them.
Hearing the drama, everyone immediately turned their eyes to Yue Fei, who looked surprised when he looked at his mother. After a while, Yue Fei's expression calmed down and he nodded slowly...
...
After hearing his mother's advice, Yue Fei didn't expect that he could not help but feel relieved. Originally, he was upright and staunch, not only for the sake of the country, the country, and the people, but also for the loyalty of the Song Dynasty court, without any room for twists and turns. He asked himself
He upheld the ambition of being loyal to the emperor and patriotic, but Xiao Tang had previously committed a traitorous act of deceiving the emperor and treason. Only because he was a brother, Yue Fei knew that he could only completely break up with him.
However, he joined the army twice. First, he went to Zhending Prefecture, Hebei Province to recruit a general to serve as a warrior for the Heshuo Liao Campaign. After his father Yue He died of illness, he left the army. After observing his father's filial piety, he went to Hedong Road and surrendered to the Pingding Army.
He was a partial commander in the army, with a low official position and little power. After being defeated in two wars with the Liao and Jin Dynasties, Yue Fei was unable to survive alone. He also felt the unforgettable shame and resentment, but he still persevered, no matter whether he faced foreign invaders or Tatars again.
A treasonous traitor, his ambition to continue to join the army and make contributions to the country has not diminished at all, but there is only one person except Xiao Tang. Whether as a close friend or a mortal enemy, Yue Fei will subconsciously avoid meeting him.
To persuade Xiao Tang to change his mind and plead guilty to surrender? Yue Fei once thought that since the emperor's ministers, who were originally second-rank officials, had rebelled, they would no longer have the chance to be punished by officials for the serious crime of conspiracy; he was looking forward to fighting on the battlefield.
They met each other, and the righteousness of killing relatives and killing the rebels with their own hands was very likely to become a serious problem for the court? Yue Fei was very strict in disciplining others and himself, and seemed to have a heart of stone. However, Xiao Tang was patriotic and disloyal to the emperor. He committed rebellion and did not abide by the duties of a minister at all.
But he would not harm the common people at all, and he stood up at the critical moment of the country's life and death... Coupled with the kindness and friendship accumulated over the years, he could selflessly kill the traitors for the court, Yue Fei asked himself, even if he could
He was ruthless for the loyalty he firmly believed in his heart, but if he had a choice, he really didn't want to do it himself.
Since it was inconvenient for them to meet each other again, whether they were mortal enemies or old friends, Yue Fei was originally unwilling to violate his principles of life. However, with his mother's words, Yue Fei felt that the hurdle in his heart had been temporarily overcome.
He couldn't help but said with emotion: Brother Xiao Tang, for many years I have been looking forward to the opportunity to fight side by side with you on the battlefield and make contributions to the country together. Now it seems that I finally have this opportunity, but I really did not expect that it would be in
Under the current circumstances, I am considering whether we should work together with you...
But when the expedition against the foreign invaders is successful and the Song Dynasty court is about to clean up the old mountains and rivers, you and I can still put aside the past grudges and live in peace and harmony for the time being...but how long can we have?
