The Jin army besieged the city, and the Song emperor’s daughter died

Chapter 78 Going to the Yamen and Leaving

Liu Hao actually didn't know much about Yue Fei.

Just a few days ago, when recruiting martyrs, I had a few chats with Yue Fei and learned that Yue Fei had returned to Xiangzhou from the Pingding Army. Seeing Yue Fei's majestic appearance and formidable strength, I wanted to recruit Yue Fei into the army, but Yue Fei thought of his old mother's age. He was already a grown man and he refused on the grounds that he needed to stay by his side to fulfill his filial piety.

Later, the Ministry of War issued a document asking various places to recruit talents for the country. Only then did Liu Hao think of Yue Fei again and reported Yue Fei's name.

"Do you know where home is?"

Zhao Gou asked, Liu Hao thought for a moment, rummaged through the case, and found the copy of the report to the Ministry of War. After checking it carefully, he said: "My home is in Tangyin."

After Zhao Gou heard this, he turned around and left.

Liu Hao quickly followed up: "His Royal Highness King Kang, Your Highness King Kang, what about the wages of the rebels?"

Zhao Gou stopped and asked in confusion: "Why don't you go to the magistrate to report to the court and explain the whole matter clearly?"

Liu Hao thought to himself, His Royal Highness Prince Kang really does not know everything about the court. How can any official get up early without benefit? "To be honest with you, Wang Zhizhou is probably afraid of causing trouble to the court. The new official has ascended the throne. If he goes to ask for pay at this time, he is afraid that he will Something bad happened."

Hearing this, Zhao Gou patted Liu Hao on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Today's officials are full of martial virtue. Since these righteous men have contributed to our Song Dynasty, they should be paid. Just pay them up, and they will not get into trouble." , maybe the officials will reward you."

"Is your Highness serious about what he said?" Liu Hao wondered. Did the empress ascend the throne and be full of martial virtue?
Zhao Gou got on his horse, raised his whip and said with a smile, "How can I not know how my fourth sister is doing?"

After all, let's go!

When Liu Hao met Uncle Wang again, he did not say that His Royal Highness Prince Kang had been here. He only said that he had heard from his old friends in Kaifeng that the officials were full of military virtue and would never get angry over the salary issue. Uncle Wang did not believe it, so he stroked his beard and smiled and said: "In that case, Doctor Liu Go and take advantage of this."

When Liu Hao left, Wang Bo laughed scornfully: "I have been in power for many years. How can I not know the temperament of those people in the palace? You still want to trick me into getting into trouble. It's really funny!"

……

……

As soon as Zhao Gou and his party entered the realm of Tangyin, they met a woman in coarse linen clothes. She seemed to have a heavy heart and was just hurriedly walking with her head down, and was almost hit by a horse.

The accompanying soldier was about to scold the woman for being blind, but saw Zhao Gou raise his hand: "No problem!"

Another soldier heard this, got off his horse, and helped the woman aside.

The woman raised her head slightly and forced a smile as she looked at the soldier.

Although the woman was not beautiful, she still had some charm. The soldier smiled when he saw her, and was stunned for a moment before he recovered and stepped aside.

Zhao Gou leaned down and asked, "Madam, we are officers and soldiers of the Song Dynasty. There is no need to panic. Are you from Tangyin County?"

The woman didn't answer, just looked at the ground and nodded.

Zhao Gou asked again: "I would like to ask Madam about a person. His surname is Yue Mingfei. Does Madam know where his home is?"

Hearing that the general on the horse was looking for Yue Fei, the woman's expression changed slightly, then she raised her head and asked, "Why is the general looking for Yue Fei?"

Zhao Gou didn't want to talk to this village woman, so he simply replied: "It is inappropriate to talk to outsiders about military affairs."

The woman hesitated for a moment, then finally raised her hand and pointed to the west: "There is a village over there, and the third house at the end of the village is there."

Seeing Zhao Gou and his party riding away again, the woman stayed in place, looking a little hesitant. Finally, she gritted her teeth and continued moving in the direction of Xiangzhou.

In the courtyard of the farmhouse, there was an old woman with a stooped figure, holding a baby in her arms, and holding a six or seven-year-old child, leaning against the door, with a gloomy expression in her cloudy eyes. "Grandma, do dad and mom really want to reconcile?"

The child next to him raised his head and asked.

The old woman touched his head and sighed: "Hey, your mother has been tired of serving us young and old these past few years and wants to take a rest."

"Can you please not let me go? My brother is still so young..." The child stretched out his little hand and touched the little face of the baby in the old woman's arms.

Before the old woman could speak again, the grandparents and grandchildren saw a group of cavalry running towards their door: "Is this Yue Fei's house?"

Zhao Gou asked, riding on his horse, looking at the grandparents and grandchildren in front of the small courtyard.

The old woman nodded: "Exactly, what do you military masters want from my son?"

Zhao Gou looked at the old woman in front of him while riding on his horse. Although his figure was already a little stooped, he had a good aura. When he saw these soldiers, instead of being submissive and cautious like ordinary village women in the mountains, they looked generous and decent.

After learning that the old woman was Yue Fei's mother, she got off her horse and took two steps forward: "Old lady, this general is under the command of General Han Shizhong of the Mighty Army. We are here to look for Yue Fei on the orders of General Han."

Yue Fei's mother smiled and nodded: "Unfortunately, my son has gone to Xiangzhou earlier, and I think he will not be able to come back until very late. If you military lords are not dissatisfied with the shabby accommodation, you can eat some coarse tea in the house, wait?"

Zhao Gou was stunned. He had just arrived from Xiangzhou and unexpectedly missed it by accident.

"Why is Yue Fei going to Xiangzhou?"

Although it was very common in the Song Dynasty to reconcile with one's wife, it was still a bit hard to talk about it in this rural area. After all, family scandals should not be made public. The mother-in-law was embarrassed and did not want to speak, but the little grandson beside her was so sweet. : "My father and my mother went to the Yamen to reconcile."

When Zhao Gou heard this, he frowned.

Han Shizhong asked him to look for someone. He originally thought that Yue Fei was a young hero like himself, but he didn't expect that he was already so old and his children were so old, and he was having a divorce with his hair extension wife?

"Why is General Han looking for people like this?"

Zhao Zhizai thought for a moment and felt that instead of waiting here, it would be better to go back to Xiangzhou and pay a visit to the Xiangzhou government office to hear about Yue Fei's reconciliation, so as to know more about this person. Virtue is of no use, so I might as well talk to Han Shizhong when I return to Taiyuan City.

"No need, I am on duty and cannot delay. Madam, take your leave!"

After that, Zhao Gou got on his horse, turned around and ran towards Xiangzhou with a group of people.

In the Yamen of Xiangzhou Prefecture, Zhizhou Wang Bo was taking a nap in the backyard. The yamen servant trotted in in a hurry: "Wang Zhizhou, there is a case to be promoted."

Uncle Wang chirped a few times and sat up from the recliner with a long sigh: "What's the matter?"

"Absolute marriage." The officer replied.

Uncle Wang yawned, stood up and stretched: "Is this another wealthy family in Xiangzhou having a family change?"

"Look at the woman's coarse linen clothes. She doesn't look like the rich family in Xiangzhou City."

"People from the countryside?" Wang Bo laughed angrily: "It's spring plowing now. If you don't work hard in the fields, will you break up your marriage? Don't you want a harvest in the middle of the year?"

While complaining, Uncle Wang went back to his room and changed into his official uniform: "Is the man here?"

The officer shook his head: "Here he is, but only the woman handed in the complaint and put it in court."
