This was not the first time Yue Fei met the emperor.
This is not the first time I have seen the emperor after crossing to the south.
But it was indeed the first time for him to see such an emperor.
Zhao Guanjia lowered his brows, with a smile in his eyes... It was said to be a smile, but it was also gentle, mellow, tranquil and...
A sense of harmony.
It's not that there's anything wrong with the emperor's eyes, but it's just wrong for the emperor to look at himself like this.
Yue Fei's heart was racing up and down, and he really didn't know what was wrong.
"The official family..."
Lu Zai was really worried about the emperor's mental state, so he couldn't help shouting again in a low voice.
It was like calling a soul, calling Liu Bang back.
Clearing his throat, he looked at Master Lu and said, "Why are you still here?"
The living room owner was wondering... If he is not here, then where should he be?
Could it be that he made the emperor unhappy?
He can't stand it anymore?
Fortunately, he didn't think too much. The emperor turned out to have the same attitude towards everyone.
"Liu Qi, Zhao Mi, you two losers, you can't even stop a fake princess, go, go, go."
"Who is that? I'll talk to Yue Fei first, and you can come in later."
"You also go out, all go out, and close the door."
"You can go and play with Mr. Daoji. I will come find you when I have some free time."
As he said that, he wanted to grab Zhongyu's hand, but the little lady was so surprised that she almost tripped over the threshold and fell to the ground.
He was driving not only Liu Qi and Zhao Mi, but also Niu Gao, Wang Gui, and the girl Zhong Yu beside him, all of whom were shouted out by the emperor.
If Yue Fei hadn't tried his best to stop him, he would have even wanted to drive out the Jingua guards on the side.
Others are fine, they seem to be used to the officials' chaos.
But Yue Fei experienced it personally today, and only then did he know what Huang Yanjie meant when he said, "The official family has changed."
As a filial emperor, the official family followed the ancestral system very closely, especially the Zhao family's ancestral motto that guarding against warriors is like guarding against tigers, which he implemented to the core.
Today, the emperor dares to withdraw from the imperial army and leave himself alone... to others, he may be a holy family of heaven.
But for Yue Fei, all this was too heavy.
Liu Qi and Zhao Mi came out of Chui Gong Hall. The emperor's words of "trash" were like a thorn, piercing deeply into their hearts.
Especially Zhao Mi, who was first humiliated by Qin Hui and then scolded by officials...
The two looked at each other and saw the bitterness in each other's eyes.
Just as the two were about to leave the palace and go home to reflect on themselves, they were stopped by the old eunuch in the palace:
"Where are you two generals going without your rewards?"
reward?
Seeing their confused expressions, the old eunuch asked in surprise: "Didn't the officials talk to the two generals?"
After he told them, Liu Qi and Zhao Mi found out that the emperor had already prepared gifts for them... These things had been prepared when they were still at Xinhuimen.
One jade, ten gold, one hundred silver, ten thousand money, and a jade leather belt for each person.
...At that time, apart from the princes and nobles, only Zhang Jun, Han Shizhong and Yue Fei had this honor among the military generals in the current dynasty, not even Wu Lin, who controlled Shu.
And now...
The old eunuch continued: "The officials said that Zhao Mi must be very sad because he suffered a loss. Ask him if he has any suitable relatives and send him to the palace. I will also make him a concubine."
Knowing that the emperor had recently regained his power, Zhao Mi knew how valuable this sentence was.
Originally, he felt aggrieved, and it didn't matter if he was a little angry. Zhao Duzhi could still bear it.
But now that he was comforted, it was like the flood had found an outlet. He couldn't bear it anymore and burst into tears.
This cry made Liu Qi's eyes red.
The old eunuch didn't understand very well and had never seen such a scene before, so he quickly spoke to persuade:
"What are you two generals doing? It's a good thing to receive rewards from officials!"
"Oh, by the way, the officials also said that Zhao Mi had been wronged first, and I would naturally take back the slap he received for him."
It was better now, and Zhao Duzhi cried even louder.
She cried so much that she alarmed all the Prime Minister Qin in the official office. They watched this scene from a distance, and Zhang Jun and others shook their heads and sighed.
A man like Zhao Mi, who can't shed tears even if he bleeds... The official family must be really angry.
The sound naturally reached the Chui Gong Hall, and Yue Fei frowned slightly... He didn't expect that Zhao Mi's heart was so fragile. The emperor didn't even punish him, he just cursed, and he cried like this.
Liu Bang didn't think it was a big deal. Apart from a few wooden figures, he and Yue Fei were the only two people left in the palace.
Now that he had come down from above... Yue Fei quickly bowed, but the emperor held his arms and helped him up.
"I have met Yue Yunzhen. He is a good young man, but he only holds an unranked position in your army. This is unfair to him..."
Yue Fei's qualifications gave him Zhang Xian in the army... Zhang Xian was Zhang Suo's son, and Zhang Suo was Yue Fei's Bole when he joined the army for the fourth time.
Yue Yun Taotian's achievements, whether from the officials or other people in the army, had long wanted to report to the court for him, but Yue Fei suppressed them, saying that he was young and unworthy.
Maybe he didn't expect that the first thing Zhao Guanjia said was to speak for Yue Yun... In addition, the emperor said that he had met Yue Yun, Yue Fei thought it was the traitor who was pouring bitterness in front of the official family.
He immediately thought about refusing, but was glared at by the emperor:
"I have already made the decision on this matter, and I am not discussing it with you!"
After a pause, he whispered again: "You are incorruptible. I know you are incorruptible. Everyone knows you are incorruptible. But have you ever thought about what other people will think if you earn a reputation by avoiding honor and favor?"
"Yue Yun can't get credit for such a big achievement, so why would anyone else have the nerve to ask for credit?"
"You are amazing and noble, but it is people like you who are hated the most."
The emperor said everything to this extent, and he opened his heart. No matter how stubborn Yue Fei was, he could only agree at this time:
"On behalf of my son, I would like to thank the officials."
"Your wife has been granted the title of Lady of the County, but the daughters-in-law of Han Shizhong and Zhang Jun are the Lady of the State. This is unfair..."
"Official!" Yue Fei knew that the emperor was very kind, "A woman has no merit and does not deserve to be rewarded!"
"Yue Fei, this is how ruthless you are."
Liu Bang led him all the way to the side hall. The monarch and his ministers stood in front of the door of the side hall, watching the birds flying outside.
"They gave birth to your children and took care of the backyard for you... Judging from your character, you don't look like someone who can make money. I don't know how much hardship I have endured with you."
"Now I want to reward others, but I'm not rewarding you. Why do you refuse?"
