...

Dali.

Yue Fei's Chinese army tent.

After receiving the imperial edict, Zhu Wu sent everyone out, leaving only him and Yue Fei in the tent.

Looking at Yue Fei who was not in high spirits, Zhu Wu asked: "Why, Pengju, you don't want to go back to Beijing to help the officials select the top ten marshals and top ten generals?"

Yue Fei shook his head and said: "It is Yue Fei's honor to help the official family do such a great thing."

Zhu Wu smiled and said: "That's right. You are the Generalissimo of the Army and Horses. You first commanded the battle against Song Dynasty and then presided over the battle against Li. Who knows the achievements of our soldiers in the Chinese army better than you? Well, everyone knows that you, Yue Pengju, behave fairly in the world, that you will be rewarded for your achievements and punished for your deeds, that's why the officials asked you to go back and help him advise on candidates for the Zhaoxun Pavilion."

After a pause, Zhu Wu said again: "Besides, this time it is not just about selecting the top ten marshals and ten generals, but also awarding honors to all the generals in Dazhong. The difficulty of this matter is not ordinary. I heard that not only you and I , Wu Jie, Liu Qi, and Han Shizhong were all called back by the officials."

Yue Fei said: "Yue Fei knows that it is important to select the top ten marshals, the top ten generals, and award honors to the generals, but...seeing that he can lead the army to pacify this last area and complete the real unification of Dazhong, he was called back by the officials. ...Hey, to be honest, Yue Fei is really not reconciled!"

Zhu Wu said calmly: "You have already eaten all the meat, so you can't even leave a mouthful of soup for others?"

Before Yue Fei could speak, Zhu Wu said again: "Shi Bao and Huarong have been operating here in the Indochina Peninsula for five or six years, and they probably know every plant and tree, and they know the enemy's situation very well. They are all incomparable, so it is definitely more appropriate for them to fight this battle than for us to fight this battle."

After hearing this, Yue Fei said, "Yue Fei didn't mean to compete with General Shi and General Hua for the command of this battle. Yue Fei just had some regrets. Don't worry, old commander. As soon as General Hua arrives, Yue Fei will immediately deliver Pingnan to him. Army, and then return to Beijing."

Hearing what Yue Fei said, Zhu Wu asked Yue Fei to sit down, and then said: "You know, after the Southern Song Dynasty was defeated, many people opposed you leading the army to attack Dali, and they proposed that Yang Yizhong replace you?"

Yue Fei sat down and said: "Yue Fei already knew about this matter, but the officials tried their best to resist all opinions and let Yue Fei continue to lead the Pingnan Army to attack Dali Kingdom."

Zhu Wu nodded, and said again: "Then you know, the empress once wanted your An Niang to be the crown princess, but was rejected by the officials, and then appointed Yushi Zhongcheng Li Guang's daughter as the crown princess?"

Yue Fei shook his head and said, "Yue Fei really doesn't know about this matter."

Zhu Wu asked: "Now that you know, what do you think?"

Yue Fei said: "Jane is in the emperor's heart, as a subject, what can Yue Fei think?"

Zhu Wudao: "Tell the truth."

Yue Fei was silent for a while, and said: "Yue Fei thinks that it's not a bad thing for An Niang not to be the Crown Princess. Yun'er has already married the eldest princess. If An Niang becomes the Crown Princess again...it's not appropriate."

Zhu Wu stared at Yue Fei's face for a while, and seeing that Yue Fei didn't want to be perfunctory, he said: "Your Yue Pengju's political sensitivity is not too low, let me tell you, if it wasn't for the officials to block you , you don’t even think about commanding troops in this life, and you may even be killed!”

When Yue Fei heard the words, his pupils shrank, and he said, "I don't know what the old man said?"

Zhu Wudao: "There is a saying, I wonder if you have heard of it?"

Yue Fei asked: "What are you talking about?"

Zhu Wu said leisurely: "When there is no reward, give death. If there is no reward, seal it."

As soon as Zhu Wu said this, Yue Fei burst into cold sweat instantly!

Zhu Wu glanced at Yue Fei, and then said in a deep voice: "So, you should really be grateful to the officials. It is the officials who saved your political life, and even your life."

After Yue Fei listened, while he was secretly grateful to Li Yan, he couldn't help feeling a little bit depressed, and then said: "My mother is old, my wife and children are weak, handsome, Yue Fei thought, after returning to Beijing this time, I will resign from the officials and tie the knot. For a hut, imitate the ancients, live in seclusion in the mountains and forests, indulge in wine and sing songs, sing proudly at the spring and stone, raise a glass to invite the moon, and sway poetry and thoughts."

Yue Fei is just in his thirties now, at the best time of his life, how can he truly retreat?

Therefore, Zhu Wu knew that Yue Fei was acting out of anger.

In fact, this is also understandable.

Yue Fei has made so many contributions to Dazhong, but in the end, someone is guarding him everywhere, and even wants to kill him. Anyone who changes this will feel emotional.

Zhu Wudao: "If you put down the pick, are you worthy of the officials?"

Hearing this, Yue Fei couldn't help hesitating!
After a while, Yue Fei said: "Yue Fei was originally just a country boy, but thanks to the grace of the officials, he was promoted step by step from a grassroots person. In less than ten years, Yue Fei became a Taiwei. The prime minister and prime minister are almost the same, and marrying a dog with the eldest princess, Yue Fei can hardly repay this kind of kindness that has never been seen in ancient times. , the Central and Southern countries are just dying, and within one or two years at most, they will be flattened by our Chinese army, and all their land will be returned to Dazhong. After that, Dazhong will usher in a real unification without weapons. The White House is not resentful of the country's decline and being bullied by barbarians, so he rose up and joined the army. Now Dazhong is about to complete the unification of Dazhong. Prosperity and wealth are nothing different from Yue Fei, so I want to spend my remaining life reading more books to cultivate myself and remember my ancestors. In addition, Yue Fei has been in the army for nine years, and he has some insights into the matter of commanding the army. I want to leave a book for a while Department, to future generations."

Not long ago, Yue Fei wrote a poem to express his aspirations.

Yue Fei used this poem to tell the world: The reason why I, Yue Fei, help the officials fight is not to be a high-ranking official myself. A high-ranking official has to be a high-ranking official, a horse must be ridden, and a name will be left in history. Grace, I just want the common people to live a good life.

Having been with Yue Fei for so long, Zhu Wu knew Yue Fei very well, and knew that Yue Fei was really public and selfless.

To what extent has Yue Fei neglected his personal interests?
Yue Fei's son is also Li Yan's son-in-law, Yue Yun. He joined the army at the age of 12, and followed Yue Fei through life and death at the age of 12. He has undue bravery on the battlefield and is invincible.

None of the soldiers in the Chinese army called Yue Yun the son-in-law or the young son, but they all called Yue Yun "Ying Guanren".

This is the respect that Yue Yun won back by relying on his ability, because as long as he is sure to win, although he has not been in the army for a long time, he has killed countless enemies.

But every time Yue Fei reported the credit, Yue Fei did not report to Yue Yun.

Ordinarily, Yue Yun's military exploits were real, not because he was Yue Fei's son or Li Yan's son-in-law, but Yue Fei didn't report to him, not every time, so Yue Yun's official position was never promoted.

As a result, even the soldiers couldn't stand it any longer, and they came to Yue Fei to protest, saying: Why don't you report Yue Yun's credit every time, Commander, please tell us a reason.

Yue Fei replied: Soldiers are born to risk their lives, and they have to go through a lot of hardships before they are promoted to the first rank. Some of their lives are sent to the battlefield before they are promoted to the first rank. Therefore, let these people be promoted first, since Yue Yun is my son. , he has to make this kind of sacrifice, and he has to make more efforts than others.

From this incident, it is not difficult to see Yue Fei's noble character.

Yue Fei's noble character also impressed Zhu Wu.

Therefore, seeing that Yue Fei really wanted to retire, Zhu Wu decided to tell Yue Fei something that Yue Fei didn't know yet.
