Chapter 303 Gifts
Zhengzhou, Dongdaying.

Yue Fei still adhered to his usual style and ate and slept with the soldiers. Not only him, but also the rest of his generals ate and slept in the camp, and rarely went into the city to disturb the people.

Since the reform of Wang Jiefu, in order to save administrative costs, he took the lead in operating the state capital closest to Fengfeng and demoted it from a state to a county. By the time of Shenzong, Zhengzhou had become a "north and south" without three temples, east and west. There is only one street.There is no feast at four o'clock and eight o'clock in the morning, and there are boundary markers at three o'clock in the middle of the night. 'This is a situation. Compared with the time when the Tang Dynasty was at its peak, by the time the Jin people came here, the population of Zhengzhou had already been reduced by nine-tenths, to only [-] households.

If you ask people where they have been... besides Kaifeng, where else can they go?
Today, there are only three to four thousand households in the city. Since the founding of this dynasty, the local people have relied on the geographical relationship with Kaifeng. Now that the two cities each belong to a country, many families have lost their livelihoods. The Yue family army In addition to his own farming, he also has to clear wasteland and cultivate land for the common people. When necessary, materials sent from the south are indispensable to provide relief to the common people who don't have enough to eat. It's no wonder that everyone is looking forward to his grandfather-in-law's arrival. Yes, because Grandpa Yue really treats everyone as human beings.

But recently, their grandfather-in-law has been quite worried, and what he is worried about is not the war... The battle all the way to Zhuxian Town the year before last year proved that he, Yue Fei, is not afraid of any iron pagoda kidnappers; what he is worried about is not supplies, either. The two-Huaihe and three-line Han armies Among them, no one dared to neglect him, not to mention that he still had the power given by Zhao Guan's family and could take it on his own.

Apart from these two, what else is there to worry about?

Yes, and it is very big, it may even be related to his life.

After the military advisor Mr. Xue Bi returned from Taikang, the old man first went to Zhongmou County as planned. After giving instructions to his young general, he rushed back without any delay, not daring to delay at all along the way.

The old man is so old and has been going out for so long. Even if Yue Fei no longer believes in Xue Bi's concerns, it is still difficult to refute him. After all, he is doing it for himself, not for others.

So when Xue Bi arrived, Yue Fei immediately asked him something that he didn't care about at all:

"Guan family...what does it mean?"

It’s really not that Yue Pengju is pretending, but that in his opinion, everything he does is without selfish motives. His emperor is an eternal sage. It is impossible that he does not even have this little trust. Otherwise, he would not be called If he leads an army by himself, it is impossible for him to say so many heartfelt words to him in Lin'an.

This question was mainly to give Xue Bi face. The old man looked complicated, which made Yue Fei feel worried. He quickly invited him into the tent and asked him carefully.

"The officials are quite unhappy about this matter...anyway."

"Oh?" Of course Yue Fei knew that Xue Bi would not deceive him, but this was too different from what he thought. "What did the officials say?"

"First he said it was nothing... but he had just gotten up at that time, and maybe he was not quite sober yet. After a while, he realized what was at stake and started to curse."

Yue Fei frowned: "Ru, how did you scold him?"

Even his own marshal was frightened and stuttered. Xue Bi sighed secretly:

"Not very nice."

"How about when you scold Niu Gao and Wang Gui?"

When they were in Lin'an, these two people had the lowest morals and the liveliest, but they also received a lot of scolding. At this time, the first thing Yue Fei thought of was his two brothers.

Xue Bi shook his head: "It's worse than that."

Marshal Yue's friendly face couldn't help but twitch twice:

"How does it compare to scolding Mr. Xin?"

Xin Ciying was deeply trusted by the emperor, but he also received a lot of scolding, mainly because the old man took too much care and talked too much. When Zhao Guan's family scolded him, they often used swear words.

Xue Bi looked sad: "Even worse than Xin Qi Ji Yuan."

Even worse than scolding Xin Ciying!
Yue Fei lowered his head and thought for a while, then asked tentatively:

"How does it compare to Captain Zhang?"

Speaking of this Taiwei, he was basically a thorn in the Zhao Guan family's side. In the past, the Zhao Guan family would scold him when nothing happened. When he was in a good mood, he would give him a few words of "shit," but when he was in a bad mood, he would directly start to "fuck you." "Mother, it's pitiful that the old lieutenant was so insulted at such a young age. When Yue Fei saw him at that time, he also had a feeling of "I feel pity for him".

Now it turned out to be worse than scolding Zhang Jun. Yue Fei paused, without any hesitation, turned around and took off the armor hanging on the tent. Xue Bi looked at him and asked:
"Marshal, what does this mean?"

"You can't be negligent. Since Your Majesty has concerns, I should face him in person and explain it clearly." As he said that, he looked around for what he wanted to bring, and looked around in his big tent:

"If you are suspicious of your minister, you should defend yourself. Thank you sir for making this trip. Otherwise, Fei might not even know why the official is angry!"

Xue Bi finally reacted and quickly grabbed him:
"Marshal, don't be anxious. When I came, the officials entrusted me with something and ordered me to hand it over to the marshal. I won't say anything else. As long as you read it, you will understand."

"Otherwise, let's see what the officials give us first. It won't be too late for the marshal to make plans."

That is to say, Yue Fei has a good temper. The old man only said such an important thing now. Yue Fei couldn't care about anything else and hurriedly said:

"Please show me sir."

Xue Bi then turned around and went out, took a box from his horse, and presented it to Yue Fei with both hands:
"I don't dare to look at the things your Majesty handed over. I don't know what is inside. I still don't know."

"But after weighing the weight, I thought it was more than just a letter."

Yue Fei took a breath and remembered that when the emperor wrote a letter to threaten him, he said that the emperor's sword was very sharp. He was young at the time and resigned in anger.

If the same thing happened again, he wasn't sure how he would feel, but it wouldn't feel too good anyway.

Gently opening the exquisitely crafted wooden box, after just one glance, Yue Fei felt as if he had seen a ghost. Without any hesitation, he closed the box heavily.

The 'snap' sound was loud. If it weren't for the fact that this wooden box was a royal item and of very good quality, I'm afraid it would have been broken into pieces by now.

Xue Bi, who had just stepped forward, didn't even see a shadow. He just remembered that he had followed Yue Fei for many years. Even when he received twelve gold medals in the past, he had never seen him lose his temper like this.

He was shocked and frightened. The story about Cao Cao sending empty boxes to Xun Yu to scare people kept pouring out of his mind. Xue Bi quickly asked:
"Marshal, what did the officials give you?"

Yue Fei swallowed his throat and became visibly nervous. He looked at Xue Bi:

"Sir, is this thing... really given to you by the official? It can't be the case. It can't be that you got it yourself, right?"

Xue Bi's beard was blown up to the sky: "Marshal! Don't you still know the temperament of humble officials?"

"What is inside and why are you so panicked?!"

Yue Fei's eyes changed again and again, he put the box on the case, and then gently opened it.

"This is?!"

Xue Bi was so scared that he almost peed when he saw a square seal in the middle of the box, about four inches in size.

And what was engraved on the seal was:

'The Song Dynasty received the treasure of Zhongxing'.

In the first year of Shaoxing, the imperial court made the Zhongxing Seal, which was listed as the four seals together with the treasure of national sacrifices admired by the emperor, the treasure of world contracts, and the treasure of written edicts. They were hidden in the imperial palace and displayed only after the great court meeting.

This thing has a more popular name, called 'Jade Seal'.

Yes, it is of the same generation as the thing that is "ordered by God to live long and prosperous".

Yue Fei was breathing heavily, not knowing what his emperor meant. He was so surprised that he actually sent the jade seal to him.
