Chapter 46

Han Dynasty.

Liu Che saw this, and his face was also very ugly.

"Twelve gold medals? Forcibly recalled?"

He said coldly: "This is not fighting a war; this is playing with fire."

He looked at Wei Qing and Huo Qubing,

"What do you think, if I treated you this way, what would you do?"

Wei Qing remained silent.

Huo Qubing cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, your subject believes Your Majesty would not do this."

Liu Che nodded: "Of course I wouldn't. I am not a foolish emperor like Zhao Gou."

He looked at Yue Fei on the sky screen, his eyes full of regret.

"What a pity. Such a commander, if he were under my command, why worry about the Xiongnu not being destroyed."

Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin saw this and let out a long sigh.

"'Mo Xu You'... what a 'Mo Xu You'."

He looked at Fang Xuanling,

"Minister Fang, tell me, how can there be such a monarch and subject in this world?"

Fang Xuanling said cautiously: "Your Majesty, this..."

Li Shimin looked at Yue Fei on the sky screen, his eyes full of respect.

"Yue Fei is a hero. He died, but his spirit does not die."

Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang saw this and trembled with rage.

"Qin Hui! Zhao Gou! You two bastards!"

He shouted, kicking over the desk in front of him.

"If I had been born in the Song Dynasty, I would have had these two beasts skinned!"

Empress Ma quickly advised: "Chongba, calm down, calm down."

Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily: "I can't calm down! In my whole life, the thing I hate most is these treacherous officials who frame loyal ones! And that Zhao Gou, a foolish emperor! A foolish emperor!"

He pointed at the sky screen, furious beyond measure.

Liu Bowen beside him said softly,

"Your Majesty, calm your anger. This is already a thing of the past."

Zhu Yuanzhang panted, and only after a long while did he calm down.

"Yue Wumu, I will avenge you. My descendants will rehabilitate you," he said in a low voice.

Qing Dynasty.

Kangxi saw this and was silent for a long time.

"Yue Fei... is indeed wronged."

He looked at the officials beside him,

"What do you think, if Yue Fei were born in my Great Qing, what would happen?"

The officials looked at each other, not daring to answer.

Kangxi answered his own question,

"He would be a pillar of my Great Qing. I would have let him fight all the way to Moscow."

He looked at the sky screen, complex emotions flashing in his eyes.

"Unfortunately, he was born in the wrong era."

Jin Dynasty.

Wanyan Zonghan saw Yue Fei murdered, his expression complex.

As an enemy, he should be happy.

But he could not be happy.

"Such a hero, dying at the hands of his own people..."

He said in a low voice, not finishing his sentence.

A subordinate beside him said cautiously,

"Your Majesty, that Yue Fei is dead, shouldn't we be happy?"

Wanyan Zonghan glared at him,

"Happy about what? A person like that, dying on the battlefield, that is dying as one should. Dying at the hands of one's own people, that is a disgrace."

He looked at Yue Fei on the sky screen, silent for a moment, then slowly said,

"Yue Fei is a real man. Unfortunately, he followed the wrong emperor."

Southern Song.

Zhao Gou's plane.

The entire city of Lin'an was boiling.

The common people flooded the streets, shouting: "Release Marshal Yue! Kill Qin Hui!"

In front of the imperial palace gate, there was a sea of people.

"Release Marshal Yue!"

"Kill Qin Hui!"

"Foolish emperor! Treacherous official!"

Outside the imperial palace gate, the shouting shook the heavens.

Zhao Gou sat on the dragon throne, his face pale.

He did not expect the sky screen to broadcast all of this.

He did not expect the whole world to know what he had done.

The shouting outside grew louder and more intense.

"Your Majesty! The people have broken in!"

A eunuch ran in, panicked.

Zhao Gou stood up trembling, not knowing what to do.

At this moment, the civil and military officials in the court also knelt down one after another.

"Your Majesty, please release Marshal Yue!"

"Your Majesty, please severely punish Qin Hui!"

"Your Majesty, the will of the people cannot be defied!"

Zhao Gou looked at the officials kneeling on the ground and listened to the shouting outside, finally unable to hold on.

"Fine... fine... release him, release him."

He collapsed onto the dragon throne, saying weakly.

Soon, the door of the Dali Temple prison was opened.

Yue Fei was released.

His wounds had not yet healed, but his gaze remained firm.

The common people cheered when they saw him.

"Marshal Yue! Marshal Yue!"

Yue Fei looked at these people, his eyes reddening.

He knelt down and kowtowed to the people.

"Thank you all."

Then, he stood up and looked in the direction of the imperial palace.

In that direction, Qin Hui had already been thrown into prison, to be beheaded in three days.

Yue Fei smiled.

In that smile, there was relief, and also bitterness.

【The sky screen continues to narrate】

【Although Yue Fei died, his spirit was never extinguished.】

【Only twenty years later, Song Xiaozong completely rehabilitated him, restored his original titles, and reburied him with proper rites.】

【Later, he was posthumously titled "Wumu" and "Zhongwu," and posthumously enfeoffed as the Prince of E.】

【Throughout the dynasties, he has been regarded as the embodiment of loyalty and righteousness.】

【In the Yue King Temple by West Lake in Hangzhou, the statue of Yue Fei is solemn and majestic, while the iron statues of treacherous officials like Qin Hui kneel before it, enduring the scorn of generations.】

On the sky screen, the images flowed.

By West Lake in Hangzhou, incense smoke curled in the Yue King Temple.

The statue of Yue Fei sat in the hall, his gaze like a torch, majestic and awe-inspiring.

Above the statue hung a plaque reading "Return My Mountains and Rivers."

Before the temple, the iron statues of four treacherous officials including Qin Hui knelt on the ground, their bodies polished bright by being touched.

That is the scorn of generations, and also the warning of generations.

A child passed by and spat at the iron statue.

"Treacherous official!"

His mother quickly pulled him away,

"Don't do that, it will dirty your mouth."

The child said stubbornly: "I'm not afraid of dirt! They are bad guys!"

Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang saw the scene of the Yue King Temple and nodded repeatedly.

"Good! Good! This is how it should be! Let these treacherous officials kneel for generations!"

He looked at Liu Bowen: "Bowen, tell me, will someone build a temple for me after I die?"

Liu Bowen laughed: "Your Majesty, you are the founding emperor of the Great Ming, of course there will be."

Zhu Yuanzhang chuckled,

"That's good. I don't want a gold statue, I want to stand."

Liu Bowen suppressed a laugh, not daring to speak.

Qing Dynasty.

Emperor Yongzheng saw the scene of the Yue King Temple and nodded slightly.

"Yue Wumu truly deserves this honor."

He looked at the officials beside him,

"Issue an imperial decree, I will personally write a 'Loyalty Piercing the Sun and Moon' plaque to bestow upon the Yue King Temple."

The official said quickly: "Yes."

Yongzheng looked at the statue of Yue Fei on the sky screen and said in a low voice: "Wumu, I respect you."

【From a son of a humble family to a generation's military god, from striking at the enemy's heart to the regrets of Fengbo, Yue Fei's life is a magnificent epic filled with "loyalty to the country," and also a tragic song echoing for a thousand years.】

【He is not just a name in history textbooks, but a spiritual symbol. Whenever the nation is in danger, the cry of "Return My Mountains and Rivers" and the passion of "Man Jiang Hong" will always resound through the clouds again.】

【Yue Fei is ranked first on the Huaxia Hero List, well-deserved!】

On the sky screen, these last few sentences were exceptionally powerful.

The four characters "Loyalty to the Country" shone with golden light.

The four characters "Return My Mountains and Rivers" shook people's hearts.

The lyrics of "Man Jiang Hong" sounded again.

"Wrath bristles the hair, leaning against the railing, the drizzling rain ceases..."

That voice echoed throughout the heavens and worlds.
