"His Majesty!"
Yue Fei's voice was somewhat deep.
It was as if it were saying, "I am guilty!"
He always felt guilty towards the emperor, who trusted him greatly and even married a princess to him, yet he had violated the military law of the Song Dynasty.
"This guilty subject has no face to see Your Majesty again!"
Shao Chengzhang and Xie Dahai quickly poured the wine.
Zhao Huan held Yue Fei's hand and said, "There's plenty of time in the future. I'll be waiting for you to come back."
Having said that, he took the wine, raised it, and said, "Drink this cup of wine, and one day we'll kill all the bandits together!"
A surge of heroic spirit welled up in their hearts, and they drank the wine in one gulp.
Everything is understood without words.
After finishing his drink, Yue Fei said, "Your Majesty, I have a small request."
"you say."
"Don't make things difficult for the Liu family."
"Alright, I agree."
Zhao Huan thought to himself: Yue Fei, it seems you're not only a great warrior, but also a good man! What a pity! It's always the good men who get hurt! Look at me, I never get hurt. Anyone who dares to harm me, I'll wipe them out!
He verbally agreed, but how could Liu Shi possibly survive?
Even if the emperor didn't give the order, his subordinates would have already been scrambling to find all sorts of ways to kill people in order to curry favor.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
In fact, Liu later heard that Yue Fei had become very successful and went to see him.
Yue Fei did not blame Liu; he simply had her sent away.
Outsiders were unaware of what had happened, but Zhao Yuanzhu knew it.
Zhao Yuanzhu did not blame Yue Fei; on the contrary, she felt that he was loyal and righteous.
Unbeknownst to the people, the emperor himself came outside the city to see Yue Fei off.
Zhao Huan watched the person ahead disappear into the horizon, the summer wind making his clothes flutter.
Shao Chengzhang said, "Your Majesty, let's return to the palace."
Zhao Huan simply smiled and said nothing more.
At night, the stars are reflected in the pond.
The entire Yanfu Palace was filled with the sweet fragrance of summer lotus.
Zhao Huan sat in the courtyard, leisurely enjoying the cool air.
Shao Chengzhang jogged over and presented the memorial.
"Your Majesty, Luo Cong, the Prefect of Jiangling Prefecture, and Xiao Jiangwei, the Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial City Guard, request to resign."
"Why do you wish to resign?" Zhao Huan took the memorial, opened it, and saw that it was a letter of apology from the two men.
The emperor demoted Yue Fei to the northwest because of their requests in the Jiangling Prefecture case.
They felt that they were responsible for this situation and for Yue Fei's demotion, and Xiao Jiangwei even resigned to go to the Northwest.
Zhao Huan smiled slightly, thinking to himself: Although there are shameless officials in the Song Dynasty, there are also officials who are loyal and righteous.
Legally speaking, these two people are innocent; the games in officialdom are basically based on interests.
If they did not come forward to resign, the emperor would have no reason to blame them, since they were not handling household affairs like ordinary people.
However, Zhao Huan maliciously speculated: These two people probably resigned because they were worried that I would cause them trouble. After all, it was Yue Fei, my beloved general and brother-in-law, who was demoted!
