The rise of the late Song Dynasty reigns supreme

Chapter 629 Twelve Gold Medals

"Commander, this is the trick of the traitor Qin Hui, don't pay attention!"

Under the guise of the emperor, Qin Hui issued an order to summon Yue Fei and Han Shizhong back to Beijing.If Liu Guangshi and Liu Qi were summoned back to Beijing together, that would be the worst plan, and the ministers of the court and the central government would not agree, so Qin Hui secretly told the Jin people to cut off one or two temporarily, and there should be no haste.

When the imperial decree arrived at Gubeikou, it was announced in front of everyone that Yue Fei was summoned to return to Beijing. On the other side, Han Shizhong also received the same imperial decree.Yue Fei, Han Shizhong and their generals were all stunned. They didn't believe that the imperial decree was issued by the emperor.

Nowadays, there are rumors among people in Gubeikou, Dushi and other prefectures that Yue Fei and Han Shizhong colluded with the Jin people, colluded with the enemy and betrayed the country, and the feats they made were all negotiated with the Jin people. How could Han Shizhong not know.

Han Shizhong never cared about these rumors, and neither did Yue Fei. In their hearts, they thought of serving the country with loyalty, and as long as there was no imperial edict, they would not care about it.It's just that it didn't take long for the imperial decree to come, which made them feel a little unbelievable.

"When the imperial decree comes, if you don't obey it, you are resisting the decree, and you should be punished!" Han Shizhong sighed, "If you want Han to die, why bother, as long as the emperor personally makes the decree, Han will not frown." It would be a wrinkle, but it's a pity that the thieves couldn't be wiped out."

"General, listen to me, it's better not to go back to Beijing, and you will not accept the orders of the foreign emperor!"

Han Shizhong raised his head, shook his head and said: "Hongyu, you don't know that I have to accept this imperial decree. The emperor treats me with great kindness. He has trusted me since I have not become the only general in charge. Because of the emperor's appreciation, I have the status I have today, if I don’t accept it, then I am a disloyal and unrighteous person.”

"If you leave, what should you do if the enemy army attacks?" Liang Hongyu is Han Shizhong's wife. She practiced martial arts with her father since she was a child, and later became Han Shizhong's concubine. She became his only wife until Han Shizhong's wife died. , and no more concubines after that.

When Han Shizhong led the army to charge into the battle, she was worried about her husband's safety, so she galloped away and followed closely behind. The only female general in the tent is the general's wife.

There is no distinction between wives in the army. Liang Hongyu has won the respect of the generals in the army with her ability. She is not only a general under Han Shizhong's command, but also his wife. Her words also made Han Shizhong a little scrupulous.Han Shizhong knew in his heart that this edict was not issued by Zhao Gou himself, but that Qin Hui was in power, and it was difficult for him to refuse this edict.

"If the enemy invades, there will be no danger for a while with General Liu and others resisting!" Han Shizhong said in a deep voice, "With General Liu and others around, Dushi Pass will never be in any danger, even If the golden soldiers attack again, there will be no danger."

Liu Guangshi frowned, and said worriedly: "I'm afraid that returning to Beijing this time will be bad luck!"

"So what?" Han Shizhong smiled indifferently, and said: "With the emperor's sageness, I won't suffer unfair injustice. At worst, it's okay for me to go to the capital for some fun. Brothers, you have to be careful." Alright here, I’ll go too!”

When the imperial decree was conveyed to Han Shizhong, he did not delay for too long. He packed his luggage and handed over the commander seal to Liu Guangshi for safekeeping.When Han Shizhong left with the envoys from the capital, everyone in the army came to see him off, even though some people still doubted it, but Han Shizhong really loved the soldiers like his son, and ate and lived with them.

Han Shizhong was summoned back to Beijing, and Liang Hongyu went with her to face any danger ahead with her husband.

"The commander-in-chief must not return to Beijing! This imperial decree cannot be accepted!" Zhang Xian said loudly.

Yue Fei smiled wryly: "If you don't accept the imperial decree, then it's not really like rumors, am I in collusion with the Jinren?"

"This imperial decree is definitely not ordered by the emperor. The marshal must never return to Beijing." Tang Huai sternly refused, and then said: "Are we still unclear about the emperor's disposition? If we really doubt it, we will not issue an order, let alone Let the marshal command the army!"

"If Marshal returns to Beijing, everything will be irreparable. If our army loses Marshal Yue, how can we call it the 'Yue Family Army'? Without Marshal Yue's army, how can we resist the attack of the Jin soldiers? So what? As long as the emperor trusts the marshal, that's enough!"

Yue Fei recalled the scene of studying art with Zhao Gou in the early years. At that time, Zhao Gou said that he wanted to make the Great Song Dynasty rise, and he understood Zhao Gou's approach.Now he was summoned back to Beijing for no reason, which made Yue Fei doubt the authenticity of this edict.

In addition, Zhao Gou will never compromise with the Jinren for peace talks. Even if Emperor Huiqin is in the hands of the Jinren, he still believes that Zhao Gou's determination to resist the Jinbing will never be easily shaken.In the end, Yue Fei decided to accept the order, but he was unwilling to return to Beijing.

At the same time, Han Shizhong was already on his way back to the capital. He and the officials from the capital learned that the emperor was not in the capital recently. in hand.

At this time, Han Shizhong suddenly realized everything, but he didn't know when he offended this Prime Minister of Qin. You must know that he seldom returned to Beijing. How did Qin Hui offend himself?

"Your Majesty, this is the latest memorial, please read it!"

Zhao Gou, Zhao Yougong and others returned to Beijing from Yunxin Temple. When he returned to Beijing, he summoned Qin Hui. He didn't even summon the six ministers. He saw Qin Hui alone. This made him flattered and even more pleasantly surprised.Zhao Gou didn't play tricks with him, and asked straight to the point what happened in court these days.

"Is there any proof that the two of them colluded with the Jinren?"

Zhao Gou's anger was hard to dissipate, and he kept holding back, but Qin Hui couldn't see it. He hurriedly added embellishments and said: "Yue Fei resisted the edict and refused to return to the court. This is a serious suspicion. As for Marshal Han, he is already returning to Beijing. on the way."

"You made this imperial decree?" Zhao Gou glared at Qin Hui, making him terrified, and then Zhao Gou said something else, which made him feel relieved, "This imperial decree is well done, Prime Minister Qin, you did it. That’s right, if it’s true, then you are a great hero, and I should reward you a lot.”

"I don't dare to take credit for it, it's for the emperor to share the worry, and it's a matter for the humble minister!" Qin Hui replied humbly, overjoyed.

"This Yue Fei really deserves to die! Sima Zhao's heart is known to everyone who has the guts to resist and refuse to comply with the order!" Zhao Gou raged, "Propagate my order, summon him back to court for questioning with my gold medal!"

"According to the order!"

Gao Chong recruited one person from the imperial army, and immediately sent him to Gubei with a gold medal to recall Yue Fei to the capital.

Seeing that Zhao Gou trusted him so much, Qin Hui felt relieved, so he wrote a letter that night to tell the golden man that the emperor had completely trusted him, and even issued a gold medal arrow to recall Yue Fei to the capital. This matter was mostly successful.

"It's finally done!" Zhao Gou looked at Qin Hui's leaving back coldly, and thought to himself: "With your contribution, you will definitely be rewarded heavily at that time!"

"Marshal, the imperial decree has really come!"

Less than three days had passed since Yue Fei refused to obey the decree, yet another imperial decree came, this time it must not be Qin Hui's decree, it should be Zhao Gouzhen's decree.Because when Wang Heng reported, someone from the capital also came in. He was holding a golden medal arrow, and he was also a member of the imperial army, that is, someone close to the emperor.

"Yue Fei accepts the order!"

"The minister accepts the order!"

"The emperor has a decree: Yue Fei is ordered to set off to return to Beijing. If he resists the decree and refuses to obey it, he will be executed without mercy!"

"The minister obeys the order!"

Everyone's heart skipped a beat. They didn't expect the imperial decree to come, and it was delivered in the form of a golden medal arrow, which was much more serious than the imperial decree.Until this time, everyone's illusions about Zhao Gou were shattered. This time it was really Zhao Gou's decree.

"The Holy Majesty ordered me to go to Beijing, how dare I resist the order? But the treacherous officials are in the court, and the good or bad of this trip is uncertain. I will not move the army, and I will face the Holy One alone. I am willing to take charge of the sweeping of the North alone. If the Holy Majesty does not listen, there must be danger. All the brothers must work together to avenge the country, welcome the second sage back to the court, resist the Jin army, and guard our great Song rivers and mountains, then Yue Fei will die without hatred!"

Yue Fei ordered him to pack his things, but he didn't have time to pay, and then another gold medal came, twelve gold medals in a row summoned him to Beijing, which made Yue Fei disheartened, and was even more disappointed with Zhao Gou. In the end, the arrival of twelve gold medals also deeply shocked the army, and the morale of the army gradually became unstable.

Twelve gold medals means that Zhao Gou lost his patience, and Yue Fei's heart fell to the bottom. He didn't even clean up his things, so he took his own weapon, and then left with twelve guards wearing a suit of armor , he took another look at his brothers who were inseparable from his life and death, and then took a look at Gubeikou, which had been guarded for many years, and left without saying a word.
