Sorry, You’re Not in the Memorial on Sending Out the Troops

Everyone says Liu Shan was a foolish and incompetent ruler. But what if Yue Fei had had an emperor like him...

On the night of Wuzhang Plains, Zhuge Liang successfully extended his life by praying to the stars, and Heaven gave him a “thousand years of memories.” A man named Yue Fei would soon die unjustly at Fengbo Pavilion, condemned by twelve golden warrants.

Zhuge Liang returned to Chengdu and laid it all out before Liu Shan. “Your Majesty, we have to save the greatest loyal subject of China a thousand years from now.”

After a long silence, Liu Shan asked just one question. “Is he good at fighting?”

“Unmatched in his time.”

“And is he loyal?”

“Unparalleled throughout history.”

Liu Shan slapped his thigh. “Perfect! I may not know how to do much, but if anyone says he’s no good, I’ll say they’re no good!”

Years later, Yue Fei awoke with his final memories of Fengbo Pavilion and found himself in the “Great Han.” The tent flap lifted, revealing a figure in a feathered fan and silk cap.

“General Yue, I’ve been waiting a long time for you.”

Yue Fei’s hands trembled. The man he had read about in the Memorial on Sending Troops since childhood, weeping over its words, was standing right in front of him, alive.

Even more absurdly, the grinning young man beside him opened with, “Pengju, the Chancellor says you can beat the Jin until they’re bawling for their mothers. Have they cried yet?”

Yue Fei: ???

This emperor… wasn’t much like Zhao Gou, was he?

Later, someone at court said Yue Fei had too much military power.

Liu Shan retorted on the spot, “Have you read the Memorial on Sending Troops? Does it mention you?”

The next day, the man retired to his hometown.

Later still, someone framed Yue Fei with the charge of “a crime that need not be proven.”

Liu Shan read the memorial and returned three words in kind: “Return his head.”

Twelve golden warrants?

In this life, the only person to receive my twelve golden warrants is Yue Fei.
