"Besides, if you are hungry, if the emperor blames you, no matter how many lives we have, we will not be able to live."

Empress Dowager Xie waved her hand, "You all stand down, don't worry, the mourning family will be fine, the mourning family is just in a bad mood recently, it's not a big deal." "But the Queen Mother.... We're worried that your old man won't be able to think about it, so...."

"Can't think of it?" Empress Dowager Xie smiled bitterly, "Now that the Great Song Dynasty has not reached that point, even if the mourning family has the courage to do so, it won't be impossible to think about it, right?" Besides, if the mourning family dies, who else will restrain this emperor?"

"Okay, you all step down, the mourning family wants to be quiet, no one is allowed to come in and disturb me without my permission, otherwise it will be severely punished.

The maids retreated honestly, and Empress Dowager Xie knelt on the ground, looking at the wall in front of her in a daze with empty and godless eyes, stunned, without a little look.

"Emperors, ancestors, the Xie clan kowtowed to you today, the Xie clan did not protect the Great Song Dynasty, resulting in the Yuan army Kublai Khan now has the idea of attacking our Great Song Dynasty.

"Suzhou, Xiangyang, and Jiannan Dongchuan have fallen, occupied by him Kublai Khan, listed as the emperor, what should I do in the Southern Song Dynasty now?"

"Not to mention the fragility of the current national strength, the key is that the people's hearts are weak, and the people are still bent on Kublai Khan, they are Song people, how can they do such a thing?" Empress Dowager Xie sighed, with helplessness, "Speaking of which, it is nothing more than that the officialdom is too corrupt, and it does not take the lives of the people below seriously, and does not take the safety of the country seriously, and many officials have already fled."

"Emperor, do you think my Southern Song Dynasty is really exhausted? All of this is the incompetence of this Song Duzong, this person is very mediocre, has no qualifications to be an emperor, does not know how to be an official, not only the mourning family does not accept him, but there are many ministers who also have many opinions on this. ”

"As early as a few years ago, many loyal ministers were killed by this person, which is sighing, but sadly, Xie Shi I only learned about this recently, and it was late, too late."

"My Great Song Dynasty includes the Northern Song Dynasty, since the loss of General Yue Fei, what a misfortune it is, Mongolia is not afraid, even the Jin people come to stir up trouble from time to time.

"The emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty, you are confused, if you were giving General Yue Fei twenty years of life, then there is still the Mongolian Kublai Khan today? It has long been extinguished, and it was incorporated into the territory by the Southern Song Dynasty. ”

"But if that's the case, it is estimated that there will be no Southern Song Dynasty. In the final analysis, I don't really blame anyone, Xie Shi, I only blame myself, I only blame myself Song Duzong, a thing with a brain that can't be opened, it's desperate. “

"Whether it is my ancestors and ancestors in the Southern Song Dynasty, or the ancestors and ancestors of the Northern Song Dynasty, if you still have the spirit in the sky, then God bless me in the Southern Song Dynasty, I can't be occupied by Kublai Khan, otherwise there will never be a time to turn over."

"Also, the Xie family is willing to exchange his life for it, and I hope that my Southern Song Dynasty can exist for thousands of years.

Empress Dowager Xie got up, and then the old body walked out slowly, hitting the study.

In the study, there was a lot of applause at this moment, Song Duzong led the team, and seven or eight ministers gathered in the second place, and they began to fight the crickets again.

The crickets that no one is playing in the people, but at this moment, someone actually started to play again, Song Duzong never took the crisis of the Great Song Dynasty at the moment seriously, and told himself in his mind.

Three months, maybe the Great Song military camp can be expanded within three months, and it may not be able to be defeated at the hands of Kublai Khan at that time, besides, doesn't the Great Song Dynasty still have a genius Jia Yidao who leads the troops? He looked at the crickets that belonged to him on the table, and said with great joy at this moment: "Ladies and gentlemen, I haven't played with crickets for some days, how do you feel?" Isn't that interesting?"

A minister said: "What the emperor said is very true, only crickets can make people forget their worries, and only crickets can make people forget all kinds of unhappiness in reality."

"Your Majesty, Weichen suggested that fighting crickets can be listed as one of the must-play games for the common people, as long as there is anyone who does not play, then even if it violates the laws of the Great Song Dynasty, it must be punished, Emperor."

Song Duzong also has this meaning, he likes fighting crickets even more now, which can simply make people linger.

"Everyone, Aiqing, come on, why don't we have a competition between us? Otherwise, you will represent Kublai Khan, and I will be the Great Song Dynasty, and the crickets are our soldiers, how about you attack me directly?"

The ministers knelt on the ground, "The emperor can't help it, we are all the people of the Great Song Dynasty, we are all from the Great Song Dynasty, even if it is just a game, then I don't dare to attack the Great Song Dynasty." ”

"Yes, yes, Your Majesty, otherwise, how about I just change the game? If we don't attack the Great Song, how about we gamble on the silver?"

Song Duzong didn't give up, he had already decided that if he did this, no one could stop it, and no one could stop it, anyway, that's the case.

Besides, it's just an ordinary game, so excited?

"Okay Aiqing, don't argue when you wait, I'm just playing games, playing games, as long as you can kill my crickets, then even if you win the Great Song, how about it? Besides, you and I only know about this, how can others know? What do you say?"

They didn't say anything, but they were still confused, and they didn't dare to, but they didn't dare to violate the laws of the Great Song Dynasty, otherwise would they want to live?

So, the three ministers commanded three crickets, they represented the Yuan army Kublai Khan, and Song Duzong's crickets represented the Great Song Dynasty, and the four insects just gathered, and then Song Duzong's was bitten to death.

After falling on the table, there was no movement, and it was killed in seconds, does this mean that the Great Song Dynasty will be defeated by Kublai Khan?

The three ministers were shocked, they didn't expect it to be such a scene at this moment, they were extremely timid, they knew that all this was over, it was completely over, is this the will of heaven, God wants to let the Southern Song Dynasty perish?

The three of them immediately knelt on the ground and kept apologizing, but Song Duzong didn't mind at all, it was just a game, and he couldn't explain anything.

"Three Aiqing, get up, I don't blame you, besides, this is a cricket, and it's not a person, how can you control it...

"Plop... The door of the study was violently kicked open, and the four people in the room, led by Song Duzong, were obviously stunned for a moment, and the next moment they reacted.

Empress Dowager Xie walked in angrily, she had heard it outside just now, and she also learned about the scene at this moment, she never expected that Song Duzong still didn't have a long memory at this moment. This is to make her old bones angry to death, oh my God, why is there a person like Song Duzong in the world? Why are you blind?

The four people in the house immediately knelt on the ground, they knew that they seemed to have caused a big disaster, and they took Song Duzong to play with crickets, and they didn't know if they would get a capital crime.

"The Queen Mother.... Queen Mother, I..."

"You shut up for me, Emperor, now that the mourning family has no orders, you must not say one more word, otherwise.... The mourners impeach you immediately!

Song Duzong really didn't dare to speak, and he lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Empress Dowager Xie.

"Three Aiqing, the mourning family will ask you, .day.... Who, exactly, came up with the crickets? Who exactly? As long as he is willing to confess, the mourning family is willing to let him live. "Humane:...... Weichen is outside the palace, if the emperor doesn't summon him, he won't dare to enter the palace casually, don't you say?"

"That's it, the Queen Mother, even if we can enter the palace, then I don't dare to find the emperor to fight crickets, the Queen Mother wants to be clear, we actually received the holy decree and came.

They sold Song Duzong clean at once, and they didn't give any face, so they had to tell the truth in order to protect themselves.

Empress Dowager Xie angrily poked the ground with a crutch, "The three of you are important ministers in the court, and if you don't help the auxiliary country, you actually have a nest of snakes and rats, do you really not know the predicament of the Great Song Dynasty?"

"How long has it been? Did you know? Now the situation in the Great Song Dynasty, do you really not know anything at all? Wake up, how many years has it been since the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty? Has the peace been too long?"

The three of them fell to their knees and did not dare to speak, knowing that they seemed to have committed a serious crime, they did not dare to speak at all.

The more Empress Dowager Xie thought about it, the more angry she became, the more angry she wanted to scold, she was confused, she was really blind.

"The three of you, disappear from the study immediately, for the sake of the emperor looking for you, the mourning family will not blame you today, if there is a next time, it will definitely not be spared."

Everyone ran out at that time, and they didn't dare to say anything at all, and at this moment, only Song Duzong and Empress Dowager Xie were left.

The latter didn't want to say anything, she sat down in a chair beside her, her body was weak, she felt that her time was numbered, it was all out of anger.

"Emperor, let's talk about it, tell me what is going on today, and tell me what to do now? Tell me why you don't have a long memory. ”

"Queen Mother,.... I just want to pass the time. ”

"Passing the time?" Empress Dowager Xie smiled, laughing very, very helplessly, she was desperate, completely desperate, and now Song Duzong has no hope at all.

"Emperor, do you know how much the mourning family has disappointed you? Do you know how much despair the mourners have had for you? Do you know what the people outside are saying about you right now?"

...

"What's wrong with you? Are you trying to say that you don't want to be like that either? Or maybe you think life is too boring and you want to pass the time completely?"

"Queen Mother, actually... Actually, we're just having fun, and besides, it's not going to affect state affairs at all, don't you say?"

Empress Dowager Xie's five organs were all painful, she knew that she would not live long, she really didn't live long, sooner or later, she would be angry to death by this Song Duzong.

"Emperor, why are you an elm head? How many times does the mourning family have to say that you will understand, and you will wake up? You are the king of a country, you are the backbone of the entire Great Song Dynasty, do you know that how you are, how the people below will be?" Song Duzong knew at the moment, but he still couldn't figure it out, what happened to the crickets after playing for a while? As for saying so about yourself? Is this necessary?

"Mother, the child really knows that it is wrong, mother, how about you forgive the child? No... It's a big deal, the child will never play with crickets again, okay?"

Empress Dowager Xie was in tears, very sad, how long can the Great Song Dynasty exist now, it all depends on this Kublai Khan, three months, three months is not long, it is not short, it is very fast.

Shaking her head and sighing, her heart was extremely sad, Empress Dowager Xie walked out alone, her back was old, and her steps were very slow.

Song Duzong sat on the ground and cried, there was no emperor at all, and at this moment he still couldn't figure it out, what was wrong with playing crickets for a while to relax and relax? As for describing yourself like that?

Jia Rudao and the others slept in the house for a whole day and a night, and did not wake up from their sleep until early the next morning.

Outside the house, Vice General Miao walked in, with a respectful face, "Master Jia, there is a lot of food prepared in the hall, why don't I go and taste it together?" Besides, Jia Ye slept for a day and a night, and he was tired."

Jia Rudao was really hungry at the moment, his stomach was growling, but at this moment, everyone walked to the hall, there were more than a dozen dishes on the table, and each dish was good.

Ordinary people can only eat these things during the Chinese New Year, but for Jia Rudao, these are not precious at all.

"Vice General Miao, you can also sit down and eat, it just so happens that Jia Ye and I also have something important to ask you, today, I will have a good drink again."

The latter didn't dare to refuse, and sat on the opposite side, "Jia Ye, everything has been safe in Lin'an City for the past two days, and there is no news of Kublai Khan's attack, Jia Ye, you can completely rest assured." ”

"Master Jia, when did I ask about Lin'an? No, it's not this, Vice General Miao, let me ask you, how is our recruitment of soldiers at the moment?"

Jia Rudao picked up a piece of meat and put it in his mouth, "Our soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty are completely not enough for the Yuan army Kublai Khanda, if we don't recruit some, we will die a miserable death." Vice General Miao responded, "Back to Jia Ye's words, we have indeed recruited some people in the past two days, but there are not many, and my subordinates dare not say it, for fear that Jia Ye will make you angry." ”

Jia Rudao waved his hand, "What don't you dare to say?" You just say, Jia Ye, I have been hit hard enough, and there is nothing that I can't accept now.

Vice General Miao said: "Master Jia, we have recruited eight people in the past two days, what do you think?" That's too big a gap. ”

"Eight people?" Jia Rudao thought he had heard it wrong, oh my God, how could eight people be enough? Eight people in a day? The Great Song Dynasty and Kublai Khan are 10 million people apart, what else can I do?

Vice General Miao immediately knelt on the ground, "Jia Ye, his subordinates are guilty, his subordinates didn't do a good job, and I hope that Jia Ye will punish his subordinates."

Jia Rudao was not angry, this matter has nothing to do with Vice General Miao, it is completely because these people of the Great Song Dynasty themselves don't know the severity, they are already like this, why are they indiscriminate?

"Vice General Miao, get up, Jia Ye, I don't blame you, this matter has nothing to do with you at all, this matter is Jia Ye and my reason, and this Song Duzong, this person is a waste."

"Jia Ye I am in Xiangyang, and I can't manage the court or these ministers at all these years, so they are lawless, and they can be said to be doing all kinds of evil among the people, Jia Ye, I feel helpless."

Jia Rudao took the wine glass and drank it all, "It's a pity, it's too late now, the Great Song Dynasty is no longer saved, but Jia Ye, I am not reconciled, Vice General Miao, do you know, as long as this Kublai Khan attacks in, all the good days I have been waiting for will be gone." ”
