In the Shenhou Mansion, when Zhuge Zhengga received the emperor's latest appointments, his brows suddenly furrowed into a frown.
"Assigning Han Shizhong to temporarily take over the command of the rear guard of the imperial camp, and selecting Feng Army and Shengjie Army to accompany him. This completely eliminates the possibility of Yue's army resisting. It seems that the officials are determined to take action against Yue Fei." I was mumbling to myself, with a sad look on my face.
Zhuge Zhengwo knew that Zhao Gou's doing this was tantamount to completely cutting off Yue Fei's last way of survival.
"Hey!" Zhuge Zhengwo sighed and said, "Is it really God's will that cannot be violated?"
After Zhuge Zhengwo finished speaking, he sat alone in the room, thinking hard about how to break the situation.
The current situation in the government is much more serious than he imagined. Even if he has all kinds of abilities, how can he turn things around?
While he was thinking hard, Song Xing, who had finished his retreat, followed Tie Shou and walked in.
"Uncle Master."
Seeing Song Xing, Zhuge Zhengwo put away the sad look on his face, smiled and nodded: "Looking at your complexion, you should gain a lot from this retreat."
Song Xing nodded with a smile: "Thanks to Uncle Xu, I taught you the Nine Transformations of the Golden Silkworm. I have gained a little from this retreat and have forced out most of the poison, so I am generally fine."
Zhuge Zhengwo nodded happily, and then said: "That's good. Poison is dangerous, and you have to be careful when removing it. Safety must be your first priority!"
Song Xing nodded solemnly and said, "Remember your uncle's teachings!"
Then he asked: "Uncle Master, are you worried about Marshal Yue?"
Zhuge Zhengwo sighed and said: "Yeah, I never thought that an official would do such an unwise thing. He is planning to completely destroy Yue Fei and cut off his own arm!"
When Zhuge Zhengwo mentioned Zhao Gou, his tone was not awe-inspiring, and the iron hand next to him didn't feel anything inappropriate either.
As a veteran of the Three Dynasties, during the Shenzong period, Zhuge Zhengwo was repeatedly rewarded by Wang Anshi, and he and Wang Shao were promoted to Pingrong and Rong Dynasties. During the Zhezong period, Zhuge Zhengwo had good relations with the three fathers and sons of the Su family, and was reused by Sima Guang.
After the death of Sima Wen Gong, the old party was ostracized several times, but Mr. Zhuge was highly regarded by the current emperor because he saved the current emperor three times and protected him with meritorious service.
Qin Hui has always regarded Zhuge as a thorn in his side, but first because he is jealous of the current emperor, secondly because he is afraid of Mr. Zhuge's martial arts, shrewdness and vigilance, and thirdly because Zhuge's four favorite generals, the "Four Famous Captives", have their own status in the world, and in the martial arts world. Zhong Ye has a prominent reputation. If he takes action rashly, Mr. Zhuge can take advantage of the opportunity to counterattack if anyone is displeased.
Therefore, although Qin Hui holds great power, has many connections, and has countless confidants, he has always been helpless towards Zhuge Zhengwo. In the government and in the public, the only person who can control him is Zhuge Zhengwo.
He is an upright man, serves the country and the people, has extraordinary wisdom, and his martial arts skills are the best in the world. His martial arts and status are so high that no one in the world can match him.
He was over seventy years old and should have withdrawn from the government and no longer interfered with the affairs of the court. However, he could not bear to see the Song Dynasty gradually decaying and the people suffered, so he still assisted the emperor Zuo and waited for opportunities to make suggestions, leading four famous arrests to maintain martial arts and court law.
In Song Xing's eyes, this respectable old man was wearing a white robe, with black braids from the collar to the abdomen, making the black color more prominent and the white clothes more eye-catching.
There are many wrinkles on the old man's weathered face, but he still has a child-like handsome face. Although he is older, he looks paler.
"When Yue Fei dies, the Yue family army will be leaderless. The Song Dynasty will lose the best opportunity for the Northern Expedition, and ten years of achievements will be ruined."
Speaking of this, Zhuge Zhengwo's expression became distressed and he said: "It has been two hundred years since the Song Dynasty was founded. I have been favored by several generations of emperors. If traitors like Qin Hui are allowed to continue to do whatever they want, how can I have the face to see the late emperor after my death?" .”
Tie Shou said from the side: "Uncle, don't be too worried. Although Marshal Yue is in prison now, I believe that the Holy Emperor was only temporarily deceived by Qin Hui's party. Even if we intend to abolish his military power, we can't do it so quickly. We As long as we find evidence that they framed Marshal Yue, I believe they can clear Marshal Yue's grievances."
Zhuge Zhengwo nodded slightly and said in agreement: "I would like to present to the Holy One and ask you to investigate Yue Fei. Yue Fei's loyalty can be learned, and the sky is clear. If these loyal ministers and good generals are framed, the foundation of the Song Dynasty will be shaken. The imperial court and the people will definitely be shaken and restless."
Song Xing secretly sighed in his heart, Zhuge Zhengwo was righteous in his heart and acted grandly, but he never thought that Qin Hui and others framed Yue Fei and would eventually kill this famous general for an unfounded crime.
The fair trial that Zhuge Zhengyi was looking forward to did not come until Yue Fei was killed.
He simply reminded: "Uncle Master, I don't think the enemy will give you a chance to fight head-on."
Zhuge Zhengwo looked at him in confusion, "What do you mean by this?"
Song Xing said: "Qin Hui's attack on Marshal Yue this time was not only to follow our dynasty's practice of using civility to suppress military force and weaken the general's power. But from the beginning, he was rushing to take his life and disintegrate the Yue family's army. If you want to review this case, Qin Hui will definitely not give up and will definitely try to stop it."
Song Xing still didn't say a word. Even if Zhuge Zheng and I wanted to overthrow Yue Fei, Zhao Gou would never allow it.
In history, after Yue Fei was falsely accused and imprisoned, Han Shizhong questioned Qin Hui with his grievances in his heart. Qin Hui was probably suppressed by the military commander's intimidation, and actually told the true situation to explain, "Although Fei Ziyun and Zhang Xianshu I don’t know what happened, and there is no reason for it.”
Why can Qin Hui make the false accusation come true even if he uses "unfounded truth"?
It was not just Yue Fei who was falsely accused of treason by military generals. Yue Fei was not the only military general who died because of injustice. Such injustices existed in almost every dynasty and every generation.
Wu Zixu, who assisted the Wu State to dominate during the Spring and Autumn Period, Li Mu, the military pillar of the Zhao State, Zhou Yafu, the greatest contributor to the Han Dynasty's pacification of the Seven Kingdoms, and Tan Daoji, the founding hero of the Liu Song Dynasty in the Southern Dynasties, all died because of this.
As long as they are involved in rebellion or suspected rebellion, it will be difficult for generals to escape the fate of being killed and executed. No matter how brilliant their achievements are, it is of no use.
What the emperor cares about is not whether the generals will rebel, but whether they have the strength to rebel. After the use of force to conquer the world became the mainstream of the feudal dynasty, the military ability of the generals became a double-edged sword hanging in front of the feudal monarch. When you are an enemy, it is the best weapon to help you consolidate imperial power. Once you are against yourself, you have enough ability to overthrow your own regime.
In the eyes of the rulers of the feudal dynasty, a general with super military ability, an official title obtained due to his numerous military exploits, and a military unit capable of threatening the imperial power, if there is another one such as "loving soldiers like sons", "Qiu Wuwu" The excellent reputation of "criminal" can be completely completed in a trilogy from an important minister to a powerful minister and then to the change of dynasties.
Zhao Gou, who had picked up the throne out of thin air, did not care about the people who lost their land, nor did he care about the pressure of claiming vassal status and paying tribute. He only cared about whether the throne was his.
The ministers of the Southern Song Dynasty who agreed to negotiate the peace did not care who lived or died, nor did they care who the throne belonged to. They only cared about whether their own vested interests could be preserved.
There are kings like this, ministers like this, and only Yue Fei can control the world, what's the use?
After Zhuge Zhengwo was silent for a moment, he slowly said: "This matter has a wide range of implications, involving the country, the country, and the stability of the court. Since I am in this officialdom, I will never allow this kind of frame-up of loyalty and disregard of the country and the country. things happen."
Song Xing sighed and said again: "Uncle Master, I know that Liumen always pays attention to evidence when it comes to cases, but since they are determined to make this case unjust, they will definitely avoid the advantages of Liumen, and they will not Give us a chance to make a comeback."
History has proven that loyal ministers are always no match for treacherous ministers when it comes to playing tricks.
After Zhuge Zhengwo heard Song Xing's words, he also showed a hint of solemnity.
This is indeed a very serious issue. Zhuge Zheng and I are not afraid that Qin Hui, Yuan Shisanxian and others will join forces, but I am afraid that they will collude secretly to prevent Yue Fei's grievances from being redressed.

"In your opinion, what should we do?" Zhuge Zhengwo looked at Song Xing and asked humbly.
