Chapter 2050 I will not serve Xiao Tang for life, but I didn't say that others are not allowed
Although he was alone, Yue Fei's words were very firm. After hearing this, Xiao Tang smiled slightly and said: "I don't want a handsome man like my dear brother to serve me and become the pillar of my Qi Dynasty? But I'm afraid that with your
By nature, I am bound to refuse to surrender to my Qi Dynasty who rebelled against the Song Dynasty and to be loyal to the Qi Dynasty. Even if we had to fight against each other, I still respect your integrity in serving the country with loyalty. If you are not willing to surrender to my Qi Dynasty, I will still obey your wish, my dear brother.
..only......"
Xiao Tang changed the subject and then said: "But my dear brother once said that it was all because of my betrayal of the Song Dynasty that I had to give up the kindness I showed you that day. But now that the current situation in the Central Plains has been determined, my brother said that if it were you and me
Fighting against the enemy will only cause more trouble and harm the people... Now I think you can also remember the old kindness and friendship, and I am not trying to force you to serve in the state affairs of the Qi Dynasty. I only hope that you can agree to my two wishes, dear brother.
thing."
Seeing this, Yue Fei couldn't help but look hesitant on his face, and replied: "... Just talking about personal relationships, my brother knew my long-cherished wish, but he was still able to support me and support me wholeheartedly. It was not a pretentious act of kindness.
, I feel it deeply in my heart, so how could I not know it? It’s just that I am a surviving official of the Song Dynasty, but I have a mission, so I would like to ask Brother En for instructions first, and allow me to know before I make a decision.”
Xiao Tang then said: "The first thing is, I hope you, brother, can live well. An upright and upright hero like you not only does not deserve to be persecuted by the traitors and die at the hands of villains, but you are a virtuous person."
As a minister of the festival of death, I still ask you to cherish your life as a brother. You have devoted your whole life to the country, but it is inevitable that you have neglected your wife, children and family. I also hugged Yun'er when she was still in her infancy. She was so young.
He was severely disciplined by you, tempered in the army, and suffered too much that he should not have endured at his age... Now you no longer have to be loyal to the officials of the Song Dynasty, and you will no longer be persecuted by the traitors of the Song Dynasty.
Even if you die, my brother will not force you to be an honorable minister of my Qi Dynasty. There are some things that should be put down. At least you should take care of your family and relatives. I hope you can still be useful."
Although he was determined to commit suicide for the country, Yue Yun, Zhang Xian, Niu Gao, Wu Song and others had given him advice and advice. Now that Xiao Tang is so sincere, Yue Fei is by no means a ruthless person even if his heart is as stone as stone.
He pondered for a long time, and finally sighed from the bottom of his heart and said: "I am an unruly soldier, leading troops in the field, and setting an example for other soldiers. Although I am a high-ranking official and well-paid, I have always taught Jing Jing to be diligent and thrifty, run a household, wear commoners, eat rough food, and live in harmony with others.
The soldiers and the people share the joys and sorrows. But Zhuojing has always been diligent and frugal, and I am aware of the many hardships he has endured. When he was reprimanded by me for wearing silk clothes, he still had no complaints and has never worn silk or satin since then...
.
After all, there were many idiots in the army in the Song Dynasty who deducted military pay and food, greedily amassed money, and ruined the morale of the military. The country was not at peace, so why did we care about our family? Only by fulfilling our duties, self-denial, and improving military discipline can we, the generals of the country, bring peace to the world. However,
Ask yourself, after giving up private life due to public service, Zhuo Jing has been worried and toiled since she was married to her younger brother Xu Xian. She has never lived a happy life with good food and clothing. Over the years... she has indeed been treated badly. Except for Quan Zi Yun'er who joined the army.
In addition to being able to be with him all the time in the army, I spent time with Lei'er, Lin'er, Zhen'er, Ting'er... due to official business. We spent less time together and separated more. This was also because I went back to spend more time with my wife and children.
..."
Hearing Yue Fei sigh like this, Xiao Tang could roughly determine whether he still insisted on killing himself, so he asked again: "Since you are dead, brother, you plan to return to your hometown to live in peace, and how do you want to make a living?"
Having said this, there seemed to be no more barriers between Yue Fei and Xiao Tang, and he sighed sincerely: "My long-cherished wish to make contributions as a national military general has come to an end now. I plan to go to Zongcheng County to pay homage to my adoptive father's tomb.
I will guard the tomb for a while, and then return to Tangyin's hometown to pay homage to my father and mother, and help Zhuo Jing manage the family business... As for how to make a living, since my brother Xiao's family moved back to Tangyin, Xiangzhou,
During the Qu Shen period, I also struggled to live in poverty. Although I haven't decided yet, I can still take care of my wife, children and family even if I work in the countryside."
"Yes, the second thing I want to ask my dear brother to agree to is not only related to your future well-being, but also related to your mentor."
When Xiao Tang heard this, he immediately nodded and said, "My mentor didn't want to be an official because there were many treacherous people in the Song Dynasty. Then he traveled around, taking Lu Junyi, Shi Wengong and even me as his disciples to teach and train him, and he developed superb martial arts.
I have the fate to meet my virtuous brother, and teach you to grow up with Tang Huai, Zhang Xian, Wang Gui and other disciples. You are like a peacock and a plum, and you have trained many students to stand out and show off their talents. You are truly worthy of being a highly respected and famous teacher.
.
A wise brother and his mentor have become adopted father and son, and have always been grateful for his teachings. If you can follow the steps of your mentor, in this way, the adopted father teaches the adopted son, and the master passes on the career to the disciples. The fire will be passed down from generation to generation, and the mountains and rivers of China will be built.
For the sake of future generations, we have cultivated many pillars of the army who can manage the army well, use the troops well, and can protect their families and the country, and defend the fertile land of China. Not only can the brothers make a comfortable living, but they can also take care of the good health of their younger siblings and several nephews.
I no longer want to serve as an official, but I can imitate the behavior that my mentor You taught us back then. In this way, can we be regarded as fulfilling a wish of teaching my virtuous disciples?"
Yue Fei couldn't help but feel moved after hearing this. Even if the Song court officials had abdicated and surrendered to the Qi Dynasty, Yue Fei did not want to be enemies with Xiao Tang and cause chaos in the Central Plains.
I will no longer intend to die for the country, but I am also determined not to serve as an official in the Qi Dynasty that destroyed the Song Dynasty. But isn't my foster father also using his body as a commoner to pass on what he has learned throughout his life to his disciples? I don't accept it.
The officials and salaries of the Qi Dynasty will not accept the rewards and support from the Qi Dynasty, but they can still travel to various places to discover some raw talents, set up accounts and teach apprentices, just like the foster father taught us back then, training many people who can protect the country's security.
The talents of the people, so even if I can no longer fight on the battlefield and make achievements, I am thinking about future generations and dedicating myself to cultivating talents. With the current situation, isn't this the most suitable destination for me?
It's just...even if I am willing to follow the example of my adoptive father and teach disciples, won't the disciples I teach still have to serve you in the end?
With Yue Fei's mind, of course, he could immediately discern the purpose of Xiao Tang's request for him. And Yue Fei knew better that his brother was asking for him in this way, and he really put himself in his shoes. Not only did it not violate the character he upheld, so
Being able to cultivate unparalleled talents like his adoptive father did, he would not be able to leave his name in history for a long time, and he could also take care of his family and live a happy life.
And Xiao Tang asked Yue Fei like this, I respect your nature and will, and will not force you to serve our court. However, for the talents who are the pillars of the army that you have personally cultivated, I believe that they will still serve our Qi Dynasty after all, and will
How do you think? Of course, benevolence sees benevolence and wisdom sees wisdom. Do you still want to be stubborn and stubborn? Do you think this violates the concept of loyalty to the emperor that you have always upheld?
This is no longer a clear-cut and black-and-white moral code of loyalty and rebellion. Considering the kindness and kindness between each other, and now that the Song Dynasty will inevitably fall, regardless of national power, are you still willing to do your best to serve China?
Will Tuhua be strong and rejuvenated, and will it contribute to the great cause of resisting foreign humiliation?
How to think, how to make decisions, this is all within your Yue Fei's thoughts.
