And Yang Yan recommended Zhao Ruyu is the champion of the second year of the Gandao (1166), in Lin'an as the secretary of the province of Zhengzi, when the author Lang was quite accomplished, was originally a young official who was planned to be supported and promoted by the imperial court, so Zhao Yan had no objection to this proposal, and immediately approved it, and instructed Zhao Ruyu to find out the grievances of Meng Lanjun's family after taking office, and redress the grievances of her family. And exempted Meng Lanjun from the crime of piracy, and listened to Yang Yan's subordinates, and after pacifying the pirates in the South China Sea, he would discuss the reward.

At this time, the imperial court issued another decree, and added Yang Yan as the envoy of the Guangnan East Road, and transferred Qi Fang, the deputy commander of the Weibu Military Division, to lead 5,000 newly supplemented infantry soldiers to go to Guangnan with Yang Yan to assist Yang Yan in pacifying Guangnan, of course, it was still under Yang Yan's control. Because Zhao Yan thought that in order to pacify the pirates, the two Guang must work together before they can be implemented. Although Yang Yan is now able to control the people on Guangdong Road, he must not be the chief executive of Guangdong Road, and it is still very troublesome to handle affairs, so he simply added the head street of the Guangnan East Road envoy to make it easier for him to act.

And Qi Fang was transferred back to Lin'an after Yang Yan went to Guangnan for the first time and made friends. Because at that time, Yang Yan was the deputy commander of the Ma Military Division, and Qi Fang was the deputy commander of the Infantry Military Division, and the positions were equal, but Qi Fang's official rank was the middle doctor of the five grades, which was higher than Yang Yan, and according to the practice of the Great Song Dynasty, he could not be Yang Yan's subordinate. After returning to Lin'an, Wu Gongyi, the commander of the Infantry Division, returned to Sichuan to recuperate at home, and the entire Infantry Division was in Guangnan, and Qi Fang was mainly responsible for recruiting new soldiers to supplement the losses of the Infantry Division.

Now Yang Yan has been promoted to the Zhennan Army to serve as the envoy of the Zhennan Army, and his grade has surpassed Qi Fang's, and Qi Fang has also trained more than 5,000 elite soldiers, so Zhao Yan thought of letting Qi Fang and Yang Yan go to Guangnan together to take over the men and horses of the Infantry Division and assist Yang Yan. Moreover, now that Yang Yan is a two-way envoy, his actual power is too great, and letting Qi Fang go to Guangnan to take over the people of the Infantry Division will also have a certain effect on Yang Yan. Although Yang Yan can also control Qi Fang, after all, he can't directly mobilize the men and horses of the Infantry Division.

This is not deliberately aimed at Yang Yan, so that the ministers can contain each other, it is also a habit of the Great Song Dynasty. Yang Yan now understands some things more or less, but seeing that several of his requests have been agreed by the imperial court, he also feels very satisfied, so there is no dissatisfaction at this time.

The day before departure, Yang Yizhong sent someone to call Yang Yan's family to come over, and the family had a reunion dinner together, and also saw him off. Therefore, on this day, Yang Yan finished handling official business early, went home and took the three ladies, as well as Tie Chenglin and Gu Xueping, to Yang Yizhong's mansion. It's just that Wan Xiansheng, Gu Zhengyang, and Yixiu brothers are reluctant to go over, and Yang Yan knows their temper, so he can't help but force them.

When they arrived at Yang Yizhong's house, because it was still early, it was not time to eat, Zhao Qianru, Tassel, and Yan Rui went to the inner room to talk with Mrs. Yang, and Yang Yan and Yang Yizhong chatted in the study.

Yang Yizhong said: "You will leave tomorrow, what are your grandfathers and their three brothers going to do?" ”

Yang Yan said: "They have all discussed, first go to Jingjiang Mansion with us, and then grandpa and third grandfather leave to do their own things, leaving only the second grandfather to accompany us in Guangnan." ”

Yang Yizhong nodded and said, "After arriving in Guangnan, it should be very safe to have the protection of the army." In addition, with a master like Gu Daxia, there should be no problem. Just give me the things at home, you can go with peace of mind. ”

Yang Yan said: "After arriving in Guangnan, I also plan to select three or five hundred people to come out to be my personal guards, and they will be responsible for the safety of my side in the future." ”

Yang Yizhong nodded, the current Yang Yan is also qualified to build a pro-guard army, and said: "But the pro-guard army is not something that can be formed in a while, not only must it be capable, Guan Jian must be absolutely loyal, I will pull twenty people from here to you, they are absolutely reliable." ”

Yang Yan nodded and was about to speak, when Yang An came in and said, "Old County King, Second Young Master, there is a guest visiting." As he spoke, he handed over the name sticker.

Yang Yizhong took the famous sticker and looked at it, and couldn't help but be stunned. Yang Yan also glanced at it, and saw that the name sticker read: Doctor Chaofeng, promote the Changping Division on Jiangnan East Road to do office work, Yue Zhen.

Yang Yan was also stunned, Yue Zhen is Yue Lin's sibling brother, and he is also Yue Fei's fourth son. When Yang Yan and Zhao Qianru got married, he was entrusted by Yue Lin to send a congratulatory gift to Yang Yan, why did he come to visit Yang Yizhong today?

In the past, every time Yang Yan talked to Yang Yizhong about Yue Fei, Yang Yizhong was vague, which also made Yang Yan quite puzzled, he knew that among the generals of Zhongxing, Yang Yizhong and Zhang Jun had the best relationship, and Zhang Jun was one of the people who teamed up with Qin Hui to frame Yue Fei back then, Yang Yan even had some doubts, is there still Yang Yizhong's share in this?

Yang Yizhong pondered for a moment, and said to Yang Yan: "Zihao, you go and invite him in, I'll see him in the main hall." ”

Yang Yan nodded, got up and followed Yang An out, and came outside, only to see Yue Zhen waiting in the gatehouse, and there were two teenagers, a man and a woman, beside him, both of whom were about sixteen or seventeen years old, with similar appearances, obviously a mother and a compatriot, probably Yue Zhen's son and nephew.

Yue Zhen obviously didn't expect Yang Yan to come out to greet him in person, you must know that Yang Yan is now the official envoy of the Zhennan Army, and he is appointed as a two-way envoy, and he is a court horse, and his court doctor is just a civil official from the sixth grade, and he is still idle, and he can't be compared with Yang Yan, so he hurriedly got up and saluted: "Yang Yan, it's always been good." ”

Yang Yan also replied: "Lord Yue, my grandfather is waiting for you in the main hall, please come in and speak." ”

Yue Zhen followed Yang Yan to the main hall, Yang Yizhong was seated in the middle, Yue Zhen hurriedly bowed to Yang Yizhong, and the pair of young men and women who came in also knelt down to salute.

Yang Yizhong hurriedly said: "Dongqing (Yue Zhenzi Dongqing), there is no need to be polite. He also called Yang Yan and said, "Help him up." ”

Yang Yan hurriedly went to help Yue Zhen and said, "Lord Yue, please get up." ”

Yue Zhen got up and said, "I haven't seen you for many years, but Shibo's style is still the same as in the past. ”

Yang Yizhong waved his hand and said, "Dongqing, your family has been doing well all these years. ”

Yue Zhen said: "The blessing of Toshibo, my mother has led her family to settle in Jiangzhou, and we can live in peace, but the three of us brothers are officials in the court, and we can't always be filial piety under her old man's knees." ”

Yang Yizhong nodded, was silent for a while, and then said: "That's good, that's good, I ...... back then."

Yue Zhen hurriedly said: "There is no need to mention the things back then, at that time, Shibo was also sent by the imperial court, and he couldn't help himself. Don't take it personally. ”

Yang Yan heard it a little clearly, it seems that Yang Yizhong really participated in Yue Fei's unjust case?

Yang Yizhong saw that he was puzzled, knew his heart, and said: "Zihao, this matter has been in my heart for more than 20 years, and it just so happens that Dongqing is also here today, so I will tell you about it." ”

It turned out that after Yue Fei was relieved of military power in September of the 11th year of Shaoxing, he settled in Jiangzhou. During this period, Qin Hui secretly imprisoned Yue Fei's beloved Zhang Xian and eldest son Yue Yun, and framed him for being instructed by Yue Fei with the intention of rebellion. And Zhao Gou also cooperated very well with the edict, and transferred Yue Fei into Lin'an to testify. And it was Yang Yizhong who was ordered to go to Jiangzhou to preach Yue Fei.

At that time, Yue Fei had vaguely heard some rumors, but Yang Yizhong immediately came to Yue Fei's mansion, and Yue Fei still received Yang Yizhong like a plain, and said with a smile: "Tenth brother, what are you doing?"

Yang Yizhong was quite embarrassed, so he had to say, "It's okay, call my brother." Just because Zhang Xian and Yue Yun are in prison, they still need their brother to go to the court to testify. ”

Yue Fei said: "I think you are here today, it is not good. With that, he went back to the back room. Yang Yi waited for a while, and saw a little maid holding out a glass of wine. Yang Yizhong felt a little strange, would Yue Fei commit suicide in the back room and die together? He hesitated for a moment, observing the movement, and finally realized that he was just guessing, so he drank the wine. It happened that Yue Fei came out later, saw him drinking, and said: "This wine has no medicine, I saw that you are a true brother today, and I will go for you." ”

Then Yue Fei followed Yang Yizhong to Lin'an, but as soon as he arrived in Lin'an, he was immediately imprisoned until the end of the year, when Zhao Gou issued an order: "Yue Fei will die." Zhang Xian, Yue Yun and the army carried it out, and ordered Yang Yi to be beheaded, but there were still many soldiers to protect him. The families of Yue Fei and Zhang Xian were sent to the detention of the Luzhou Army in Guangnan and Fujian, and the moon was heard of their survival. The assignor and Yue Fei's family ordered Yang Yizhong and Yu Qian, and his Zhang Xian's family ordered Wang Gui and Wang Shu Zhan to send their capable soldiers to the road, and they were not allowed to go on the road together. ”

Although Yang Yizhong was only acting on orders, after all, he was the one who brought Yue Fei back to Lin'an from Jiangzhou, and he was also the supervisor of Yue Yun and Zhang Xian, so he couldn't let go of his feelings for many years, and he didn't want to talk more about Yue Fei to Yang Yan.

Yang Yizhong did not hide it at this time, and told Yang Yan this experience briefly, and Yang Yan knew that Yang Yi was still pressing this matter in the center, but this matter really cannot be blamed on Yang Yizhong's head. When Yue Fei was killed, Yue Zhen was only a seven-year-old child, and when he heard about the past, he was still sad, and the pair of young men and women who came with him were also crying silently.

After a while, Yue Zhen said: "Many years have passed, so there is no need to mention it again, and this matter cannot be blamed entirely on Shibo, when our family was escorted to Guangnan, we also relied on Shibo to take care of it on the road, and we are all grateful." ”

Yang Yizhong smiled bitterly: "When I went to Jiangzhou, if I directly explained to Pengju, maybe there would be a glimmer of opportunity, at least he could go directly to the palace to face the king, like Han Liangchen,...... Alas!? ”

Yue Zhen said: "Shibo doesn't need to be angry, in fact, when my father left Jiangzhou, he had already expected the ending, but he still had to insist on going, just thinking that it would be enough to clarify the matter, who knew that he would be ...... for half a life for the country's propaganda force" said his voice and choked up.

Yang Yizhong sighed again, and then said, "Dongqing, you came to see the old man today, is there anything else?" ”

Yue Zhen hurriedly said: "I almost forgot." He pointed to the pair of young men and women who came with him, and said, "They are a pair of children of my elder brother, the male is called Yue Ke, who is seventeen years old this year, and the female is called Yue Ying, who is sixteen years old this year, and now lives with me." But I am about to take another foreign appointment, and I want my brother to be alone in Guangzhou, and there is no one around to take care of me, Yang Juma will leave for Guangnan tomorrow, and I want to ask Yang Juma to take them to Guangnan together and hand them over to my brother. I don't know if it's possible. ”

Yang Yan nodded and said, "This is a trivial matter, Lord Yue, please rest assured, I will definitely hand them over to Envoy Yue safely." ”

Yue Zhen saluted Yang Yan and said, "The two of them are still young, and they asked Yang Yan to bother a lot along the way. ”
