The official's words were so thorough that Yue Fei had long since woken up. At this time, he quickly dragged his stupid son to get up from the banquet, and then faced each other in the pavilion: "Guan, this boy is rude and stupid, how can he be worthy of a princess?"

Hearing this, Tian Shizhong and Yang Yizhong did not change their expressions, as if they had woken up a long time ago, but Zhang Xian was obviously startled, and then he woke up, while Yang Zaixing and Guo Jin had been silent until now.

He was a little confused, but it was no better than Yue Yun's reaction... It can only be said that in certain fields, there are still some differences between people.

"It doesn't matter." Zhao Jiu seemed to have expected this. He directly picked up an apricot and said, "Not to mention that this dynasty has a long history of marriages between the royal family and honorable ministers. Even if there are some problems that hinder you, there is no need.

I care, because after the incident in Shaoxing, I made up my mind to reestablish some rules so that marrying the princess will not hinder his promotion and work in the future."

Yue Fei felt a little relieved, but still a little worried: "There are always discussions outside..."

"If the discussion was useful, the golden man would have been gone long ago, and I would have been struck by lightning." Zhao Jiu rubbed the red apricot with one hand, still casually. "On the other hand, Yue Qing, you are pushing me around like this, is it possible?

You think I have a bad reputation and don’t want to have anything to do with me?”

Yue Fei was stunned for a moment. This time it was his turn and he didn't react for a moment.

"The country has lost half of its territory. The people south of the Yangtze River only regard me as an over-exploitative and foolish king. Shaoxing has also abused many scholar-bureaucrats afterwards. The local reputation in the capital is not very good, and I have a vague reputation as a tyrant..." Zhao Jiu looked relaxed.

He said, "In this situation, if I don't catch you handsome ministers and take control of the military, I'm afraid I won't even be able to secure the throne. That's why I hurriedly asked for a marriage relationship with you and Taiwei Han."

Yue Fei knew that the official was joking, but he couldn't bear such a joke, so he could only bow his head in embarrassment: "I have no intention of doing this. If the official really likes this kid, I can only

I’m so grateful for this.”

"What I said seems to be reluctant." Zhao Jiu continued to smile. "Do you really think that my daughter is worried about getting married?"

"Guan Jia." Yue Fei really couldn't listen and could only raise his head to remonstrate. "I really don't want to say this kind of thing anymore... At this time, of course I know that Guan Jia is joking, but if you are not clear-headed,

After hearing this, the bastard really thought that the official family was in trouble, and the ministers could bully the royal family, and they had no evil intentions... Three people became tigers, and Zengzi killed people, so the rumors should be stopped for a while."

Zhao Jiu nodded with a smile, and Zhang Xian and others next to him realized that the officials were joking.

All joking aside, things still have to be settled, so after Zhao Jiu nodded, he opened his mouth and asked again: "Buddha and God are both eight years old this year. They always have to choose one, but my eight-year-old daughter is really a yellow-haired girl. Bring her out."

There’s nothing to look at, so as a father-in-law, just choose one blindly!”

Having said that, how could Yue Fei blindly audition?

In other words, although the two princesses are both eight years old, there is a priority after all. How could he choose the second princess over the eldest princess? And of course, the closer they should be in age, the better.

So, he immediately pressed Yue Yun's head and bowed his head: "Thanks to the great love of the officials, I would like to pray for the favor of the eldest princess for the dog..."

Zhao Jiu nodded repeatedly and asked Feng Yifeng to take Yue Yun to see the two empress dowagers and the two noble concubines. He said that he wanted the empress dowagers to make the decision, but in fact everyone knew that this engagement had become... two

Is the reclusive Queen Mother crazy enough to get involved in this kind of thing?

The engagement was concluded, and everyone knew that given the princess's age, she would probably have to wait for seven or eight years before she could actually talk about marriage. In addition, the official family was in front, so Tian Shizhong stood up and bowed his hand to Yue Fei.

, just as a congratulation. Immediately, the officials did not say much about the matter, but casually said a few words about the rumors in the capital based on Yue Fei's admonishment just now.

"I deliberately indulged myself for the sake of Jingdong's war situation. Now that the war is going so smoothly, I can really restrain myself." Zhao Jiu said frankly. "However, Jingdong's calmness has diluted the previous rumors, so there is no need to worry too much...

...The Dibao is still of some use...and I have other preparations."

The military minister was not supposed to talk about this matter, but he was forced to speak. Since the officials responded, Yue Fei bowed his head and said no more.

But at this time, Tongtian Shizhong, the deputy commander of the Imperial Right Army, saw that he was about to talk about business, but he did not hesitate. He saw the right moment and stood up to salute: "Official, I have something to say."

"Come on." Zhao Jiu finally took a bite of the apricot in his hand. I have to say that this big red apricot is sweeter and less sour, full of juice, and really delicious. However, this kind of apricot is very suitable for making wine, but it is not good for making apricots.

I'm afraid I have to collect dried fruits and sell them quickly before autumn comes, otherwise I'll have to use almonds.

"I impeached the imperial camp's former military commander Tong Yue Fei for his selfish motives and took advantage of friendly forces. In the Zichuan-Longshui battle, just because our troops were foreign troops, we rushed our troops to the front, so that our troops fought bitterly for the longest time.

The biggest casualties..." Tian Shizhong's words were calm, and like in his letter, there were no excessive violent words. Except for some heart-wrenching remarks that are inevitable in the impeachment process, he had a sense of seeking truth from facts.

"I've read your report. It's true that your department suffered the heaviest casualties and was at the forefront in that battle." Zhao Jiu nodded slightly, dropped the apricot kernel, and looked directly at Yue Fei. "What did Yue Qing say?

?If someone impeaches you in front of the emperor, you have to give an account."

Yue Fei was silent for a moment, and could only hand over his hand again: "The right army of the imperial camp led by Deputy Commander Tian indeed suffered the heaviest casualties in this battle, and the most credit, but my behavior that day was, for one, based on discipline.

When it comes to battle, I have the official responsibility to dispatch the imperial camp, right army and other departments; secondly, I, General Tian's department is the strongest in infantry combat and should be the first in the entire army, so he is the first in the diagonal formation, but it is not selfish.

Set off."

Zhao Jiu nodded and looked at Tian Shizhong again: "Did you hear that?"

"yes."

"What can I say?"

"I have nothing to say." Tian Shizhong said respectfully.

"That's good. There should be less conflict in the army. For example, in a battle like this, the two governors have their own division of labor. Originally, the right army of the imperial camp went east, the front army of the imperial camp went west, and your army happened to stay in the middle.

It’s normal for someone to be dispatched.”

"Yes." When Tian Shizhong heard the words "Division of labor", he knew that his goal of using his contribution to offset his father-in-law's strategic misjudgment had been achieved, and he immediately felt relieved.

"Then take a seat." Zhao Jiu smiled again.

Yue and Tian sat down together, but the next moment, the official's laughing words made the two of them feel awe-inspiring.

"However, I have also thought about it, and I must not do things like this in the future. After all, the purpose of setting up the imperial camp is to make the whole army work as one, and we should not have other troops.

Discussion." At this point, Zhao Jiu sighed with a slight smile. "But all the ministries are related to each other. It's not like I have never led troops, so why don't I know? For example, the rear army of the imperial camp is the old foundation of the Western Army;

Most of the troops in front of the battalion were the old troops of the Tokyo Remaining Department; for example, the right army of the imperial camp was based on the old division of Zhongshidao who came out of Taiyuan, and was then run by Zhang Boying from Huaidong; and the left army of the imperial camp was basically led by Han Shizhong from Hebei.

The confidants who came back were the foundation, and they were recruited from Huaixi; as for Zhang Rong and Li Yanxian, they started from scratch, and crossed the court to build a local team by themselves. While talking about Liangshanbo's foundation, on the other hand, Shaanluo

The rebels in the area...these troops are entangled in their internal bases, and most of them only recognize their own commanders. Even I cannot easily divide and separate them, otherwise there will be a mutiny."

At this point, Yue and Tian, ​​who had just sat down, stood up again and stood in awe.

Zhao Jiu did not let them sit down again this time. Instead, he watched the two people who stood up and continued to speak slowly: "But I have to say it again... As Pengju just said, those jokes of mine.

If these words are heard by some brainless bastards, they will be dissatisfied, which in turn will make them think too much... Because I can't guarantee other things, except for the generals of the armies, I ask myself that I still have some discernment, such as Han Shizhong, such as you

Yue Fei, like Li Yanxian, Zhang Boying, Qu Duan, Zhang Rong, and Wu Jie, although they have completely different personalities, on the one hand, they all have loyalty, and on the other hand, I want you to fight with your life, but you can all fight.

They are all considered famous generals for a while. So, just having people like you, I will be the envy of many emperors throughout the ages."

Yue Fei and Tian Shizhong, who represented Zhang Jun, looked at each other and it was Yue Fei who handed him over: "I am ashamed of myself."

"No need to be ashamed." Zhao Jiu turned to look at the sparkling fish pond on one side and sighed. "I am grateful to you people from the bottom of my heart... Yue Qing, Tian Qing!"

"I'm here." Yue Fei felt solemn and immediately took half a step forward.

"I'm here." Tian Shizhong, who was extremely politically sensitive, also had a sudden thought. He probably expected something in his mind, but he also took half a step forward and stood beside Yue Fei in the pavilion.

"Although they are all famous generals, do you know that among these handsome ministers, some are higher than others?" Zhao Jiu picked up a red apricot again and asked seriously. "Just as it is.

Cao and Liu drink and talk about heroes, but Cao and Liu are three points higher than Yuan, Liu Biao, Liu Yan, Sun Quan and other heroes of the late Han Dynasty."

Tian Shizhong had been silent for a long time, Yue Fei had no intention of answering the words, and Yang Yizhong remained silent as always. Only Zhang Xian, Yang Zaixing, and Guo Jin, who were standing solemnly in front of the pavilion, were obviously interested... The Three Kingdoms,

So popular!

Guan Yunchang killed Yan Liang on a white horse, but unfortunately the white horse was changed to Shaoxing.

Zhao Jiu waited for a long time, and saw that neither Yue Fei nor Tian Shizhong was willing to speak. He understood in his heart, but smiled slightly, and then accepted it. He simply pinched the red apricots there, looked at the fish pond, and spoke seriously: "I thought,

Among the generals in the world, Han Shizhong was the first to support him, and he also rescued him several times. He defeated Wushu on Huaihe River, guarded Talan in Changshe, and shot Loushi in Yaoshan. Most of them were the first in the world, and their qualifications were also in the Western Army.

Chief, I think he is the most handsome minister today, an unparalleled person in the world, and I often rely on him as my backbone... Do you think that is right?"

"General Han will do his duty." Yue Fei quickly handed him over.

Master Tian's center further confirmed his suspicion and quickly said yes.

Zhao Jiu nodded and said seriously again:

"Besides Han Shizhong, there was a man who broke up his family and established his country. He was repeatedly despised by the court, but he repeatedly saved the situation from danger. He started from Shaanzhou and grew up from scratch. He spanned the inside and outside of the river, connected the east and west of Guan Pass, and refused to give in.

, when the situation was most critical, the east and west of the Song Dynasty were not divided, and the east and west of the Jin Dynasty were not merged. This is all his credit... This man was in Shaanzhou, and the sky collapsed and the earth collapsed.

No?" Zhao Jiu continued to ask seriously.

Yue Fei sighed and responded in the pavilion: "I often think that Li Jiedu's contribution is not measurable in terms of how much he gained or how much land he regained. It is really appropriate for the officials to give him the banner of 'mainstay'."

Tian Shizhong still held his hand, but gradually became nervous.

Zhao Jiu nodded and said again: "There is another person who was born in Heshuo, but he fought in the north and south, and was displaced. For seven or eight years, he fought more than 200 battles, and either lost or won, but he wanted to resist the Northern Expedition of the Jin Dynasty.

There is not even the slightest setback. Moreover, this man is strict in running the army and has the best discipline in the world. He is pure and upright, and his personal ethics is the highest among commanders... I often regard him as a comrade! Yue Qing, now that things have happened, your credit and hard work are no longer needed.

Besides, what’s more important is that no one can question your virtue and ability. I think you are enough to surpass all commanders and be on par with Han and Li, what do you think?”

"I'm ashamed! How can I be tied with Han and Li?" Yue Fei rarely showed any emotion.

"Tian Qing?" Zhao Jiu was not in a hurry to communicate with Yue Fei, but looked directly at Tian Shizhong.

"I think so too." Tian Shizhong, who had just impeached Yue Fei in person, seemed to have been prepared at this time, but he blurted out without hesitation.

Zhao Jiu nodded and became a little more serious: "I have something to say to you."

"yes."

"Now that Jingdong has been pacified, the right army of the imperial camp should abandon Xuzhou and other garrison areas and move north to the vicinity of Qingzhou. You and Zhang Qing must have expected this... and the Privy Council must have made some announcements."

"I have indeed heard about it, and I have already expected it."
To be continued...
