Chapter 237 Dispute
"Is God going to destroy my Song Dynasty?" Liu Xiufu stepped into the gate of the manor and felt a little more emotion, but he felt lucky that he could return to the court and contribute to the country in this crisis. After the court left Jiazi Town, he angered the left prime minister Chen Yizhong for his strong recommendation of Wen Tianxiang. The conflicts between him and the censor were impeached by the censors and could only leave the court. Liu Xiufu, who had nowhere to go, could only support his mother and Zhao. Mrs. Ni, with four sons and a daughter and his family, Duaner and Zhenger, joined the brother Liu Xiufu, who was the governor of Chaozhou. At that time, his brother Liu Shifu was also in Chao, and the family was temporarily reunited.
The unemployed 6 Xiufu was unable to settle down. Fortunately, he was helped by his friends in Chaozhou and saved more than 100 acres of wasteland in the Piwang Port in Chenghai County, which was called 6 Cuowei. He also established a bachelor's hall, a training ground, and a swing ground. He summoned young men to learn literature and martial arts with him, preparing to fight against the Yuan Dynasty. But far from the government, he watched him running east and hide, but he had no way to serve the country with passion.
Until September, the court moved from Gu Jin to Qianwan, Chaozhou. The monarch and ministers moved to various coastal areas but were repeatedly frustrated. Chen Yizhong, who was in charge of the government, was helpless in defending the enemy, angered Zhang Shijie and asked him in the hall, "What's the time? Before the great cause was achieved, he often used censors to discuss people. If Shijie cannot agree with each other, he should do this!" Chen Yizhong was frightened, so he recalled 6 Xiufu and promoted him to the Grand Secretary of Duanming Palace to sign the letter to the Privy Council.
At this time of turmoil, Liu Xiufu was demoted for nearly a half years. When he returned to the court under the imperial edict, he left his mother, eldest son Yao, eldest daughter-in-law Yufang, and Jiulang and his wet nurse in the 6 houses, and returned to the court with his wife and the rest of his children. However, soon the Guangzhou crisis was in crisis, and the court could only move to Jingao. Fortunately, the local wealthy Nan Bao knew about books and good deeds, offered thousands of stones to support the army, and offered his own house as a palace. The court was able to have a place to go to court, but he was defeated one after another, and the entire army suffered heavy losses. Thinking about the bleak future, he couldn't help but worry...
"Sir 6, come to court!"
"Thank you, thank you for your hard work!" 6 Xiufu saw Nan Bao and said politely. Because of his contribution to offering grain, Ma Nanbao was named the Minister of the Ministry of Works by the court. In order to ensure His Majesty's safety, he personally led people outside the hall to serve every day.
"The sixth Lord said so much. How dare I speak hard if I can contribute to the court!" Ma Nanbao said seriously.
"Ma Shilang Ma is a loyal minister of the country. The day before yesterday, Yue Wumu's "Manjianghong" was passionate and exciting!" 6 Xiufu said that the court recruited hundreds of Ding Zhuang on the spot to supplement the army. Ma Nanbao offered wine and sang loudly to encourage everyone present, which moved everyone present.
"The six adults have been complaining. All the adults have arrived, so the ministers won't bother you!" Ma Nanbao saw Chen Yizhong, Zhang Shijie, Jiang Wanzai, Liu Fu and other ministers who arrived, retreated aside and said.
6 Xiufu turned his face and took aside, let some people go first, and then stood at the end of the class as if he had been to court in the past. He followed a few people into the palace to discuss matters under the guidance of the eunuch. Entering the central hall, several people stood in the class. The little emperor was supported by the eunuch and sat on the imperial seat. There was a curtain behind the small yellow gate, and the figure of the empress dowager could be vaguely seen.
"See Your Majesty, Empress Dowager!" Several people in the hall bowed in unison and worshiped.
"All the ministers are exempted from courtesy and give them a seat!" The little emperor raised his hand and said, "What should I report to you?"
"Report to Your Majesty, Empress Dowager, the Tartars have repeatedly forced Jing'ao. In order to ensure His Majesty's safety, I would like to move to the city!" Everyone thanked them, and Chen Yizhong stood up first and said.
"At this time, I have to ask my mother to decide!" As soon as Chen Yizhong finished speaking, the little emperor replied skillfully.
"What do you think of the ministers who asked the left? "After the silence, the queen mother's inquiry came from behind the curtain.
"Report to Your Majesty, Empress Dowager, I think it's not possible. Although Chameng has not yet surrendered to the Tartars, the envoys from both sides have been constantly exchanged and the Tartars are in great power, so I am afraid that they will not dare to accept our dynasty's suspension of their journey!" Jiang Wanzai stood up and said.
"The Palace Commander was very worried about it, and the city was far away. If he refused to allow our dynasty to stay temporarily, why would it be inconvenient to travel? Why would he avoid the enemy's attack in another place?" Liu Fu stood up and agreed.
"This... what do you think Deputy Envoy Zhang?" The little emperor seemed to have been used to this kind of scene, and knew that he could not even get in. Although he was still sitting upright, he had already wandered around the sky. Empress Dowager Yang hesitated and asked again.
"I think what Lord Liu said is reasonable. Although the official army failed in two battles, there are still 200,000 soldiers to fight. We can still find an opportunity to fight again. After repelling the thief Liu Shen, we can win and retake Guangzhou, which can resolve the current crisis." Zhang Shijie made a special report.
"Mr. Zhang, Xinghua Army, Guangzhou and Chaozhou have been trapped in the enemy's hands one after another, and it is difficult to find a foothold on the coast. It is best to avoid the city of the city temporarily!" Chen Yizhong snorted coldly.
"Cei Chen, the soldiers in the army were recruited in Jiangnan. They went away from the village to Chameng City for fear that the army would refuse!" Zhang Shijie was dissatisfied, but he did not dare to take it on his shoulders, so he talked about his subordinates.
"Mr. Zhang, the enemy is powerful, how can we defeat the current enemy?" Chen Yizhong couldn't say it again after hearing this. Now he has suffered consecutive defeats and suffered heavy losses. He is already dissatisfied with many dissatisfaction in the army. He also knows that no one can afford to take on the forced behavior. But Zhang Shijie, who could not bear the consequences, had a dream to go to Chameng City, so he asked.
"Our army still has a good geographical advantage, and can build a village to defend it. When the enemy is in short supply, they can wait for an opportunity to fight back." Zhang Shijie said.
"Mr. Zhang said it lightly. He was difficult to raise food and money here. How long can he hold on to it?" Chen Yizhong rebuked.
"Although Fu Guang has fallen, there are still Guangxi counties. We can call on loyal and righteous men to serve the king and urge the prefectures and counties to collect food and pay to the court." Zhang Shijie said...
"Oh..." 6 Xiufu looked at His Majesty who was ignorant of his worries, and then looked at the figure behind the curtain and sighed. The lord in the court could not be called the lord, and the empress dowager had no opinion. She was afraid that Chen Yizhong would dare to speak out when he was dismissed, which led to the turmoil of the court. However, Zhang Shijie was restrained by the army, but refused to use troops according to the situation and time, and still silently abide by the rules, resulting in repeated defeats in the war, which made the court fall into trouble again and again.
"Two sirs, I thought it was feasible to go to Qiongzhou. His Highness King Wei has been operating there for a long time. It is reported that he has trained tens of thousands of water and infantry troops and built six or seven hundred warships. He also built villages and forts along the coast to strengthen coastal defense. He can resist the enemy by relying on the natural barriers of the strait, so he can keep worry-free for a while. Qiongzhou is just a short distance from Chameng, and the situation is critical, and it is not too late to move to Chameng again!" When the two were arguing, Liu Fu intervened.
"Well, moving to Qiongzhou is the best way to do it now. Before, the King of Wei reported that His Highness had organized a navy to visit Leizhou. You can receive it at any time and welcome the emperor to Qiongzhou. It is better to stay there than to stay under someone else's roof or wander on the sea!" Jiang Wanzai agreed.
"Okay, okay! I haven't seen my fifth brother for a long time. I miss you so much. Let's go to Qiongzhou to find him to play!" Before anyone could express his opinion, the little emperor who was dozing off on the imperial throne clapped and shouted excitedly after hearing this... (To be continued.)
