Chapter 237: Dispute
"Is the sky going to kill my Great Song?" Lu Xiufu stepped into the gate of the manor with a burst of emotion, but he felt lucky that he could return to the dynasty and contribute to the country at this time of crisis. After the imperial court left Jiazi Town, he angered Chen Yizhong, the left prime minister, because of his strong recommendation of Wen Tianxiang, and the contradiction deepened, and he was impeached by the imperial history and could only leave the court. Lu Xiufu, who had nowhere to go, could only help his mother and Zhao, the second wife Ni and his four sons and one daughter and their family members to defect to Lu Qingfu, who was the governor of Chaozhou. At that time, his brother Lu Shifu was also in the tide, and the family was temporarily reunited.
Lu Xiufu, who was idle, was unable to settle down, but fortunately with the help of friends in Chaozhou, he gave him more than 100 acres of wasteland in Chenghai County, which was named Lu Cuowei. He also established a bachelor's hall, a training ground, and a swing field, and summoned young people to practice martial arts with him to prepare to resist the Yuan. But far away from the government, he watched the line run east and west, but he had no way to serve the country with enthusiasm.
Until September, the Xing Dynasty moved from Gu Jin to Qianwan in Chaozhou. The monarch and ministers were repeatedly frustrated when they moved to various coastal areas, and Chen Yizhong, who presided over the government, was helpless to resist the enemy, which angered Zhang Shijie and asked him in the court, "How is this the time?" The great cause has not been accomplished, and it is easy to judge people with Taiwan at every turn. If Shijie can't be public, so should it! Chen Yizhong was frightened, so he recalled Lu Xiufu and was promoted to a member of the Privy Council of Duanming Palace.
At this time when ****** stormy situation, Lu Xiufu was demoted for almost a year and a half. When he returned to the court, he left his mother, his eldest son, his eldest daughter-in-law, Yufang and his wife, Jiulang and his nurse, in Lu Cuowei, and resolutely returned to the court with his wife and the rest of his children. But soon the crisis in Guangzhou, the dynasty can only move to Jingao, fortunately the local rich Nanbao knows the book and righteousness, sacrifices thousands of stones of grain to the army, and vacates his own house as a palace, the court can have a place to go to the court, but two defeats in a row, the whole army suffered heavy losses, think about the bleak future, he can't help but worry......
"Lord Lu, go to the court!"
"Ma Shilang, hard work!" Lu Xiufu saw Nanbao and returned the courtesy. Ma Nanbao was named the squire of the Ministry of Power and Labor by the imperial court because of his meritorious service in offering food, and he personally led people to guard outside the palace every day in order to ensure the safety of His Majesty.
"Lord Lu is serious, how dare Nan dare to speak hard if he can contribute to the court!" Manambao is colored.
"Ma Shilang is really a loyal minister of the country, and the day before yesterday, Yue Wumu's "Man Jianghong" was impassioned and exciting!" Lu Xiufu said that a few days ago, the imperial court recruited hundreds of Ding Zhuang to supplement the army, and Ma Nanbao offered wine and sang loudly as encouragement, so that everyone present was moved.
"Lord Lu praised it, several adults have arrived, and the lower officials will not bother!" Ma Nanbao saw that Chen Yizhong, Zhang Shijie, Jiang Wanzai, Liu Huang and other Zaizhi had arrived, and stepped aside and said.
Lu Xiufu turned his face to look, stepped aside, let a few people go first, and then stood at the end of the squad as in the past, and followed a few people into the palace under the guidance of the inner servants. Entering the middle hall, several people stood in shifts, the little emperor was supported by the inner attendant to sit on the throne, and the curtain behind the seat was lowered by the small yellow door, and the figure of the queen mother was faintly visible.
"See Your Majesty, Queen Mother!" Several people in the hall saluted and worshiped in unison.
"All the ministers are exempt from courtesy, give a seat!" The little emperor raised his hand and said, "What do you have to do?" ”
"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, the Tartars have forced Jingao several times, in order to ensure the safety of Your Majesty, please move to occupy the city!" Everyone thanked them, and Chen Yizhong got up first and played.
"At this time, I am big, and I still need to ask the queen mother to decide!" As soon as Chen Yizhong's voice fell, the little emperor replied skillfully.
"What did the ministers of Zuo invite, what do you think?" There was a moment of silence, and the Queen Mother's inquiry came from behind the curtain.
"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, the ministers think it is impossible, although Zhancheng has not yet been a minister to the Tartars, but the envoys of the two sides are constantly coming and going, and the Tartars are powerful, I am afraid that they will not dare to accept our suspension of driving!" Jiang Wanzai stood up and said.
"The palace marshal is extremely worried, and the city is far away, if he refuses to allow us to stay temporarily, it will be very inconvenient to travel back and forth, so it is better to find another place to temporarily avoid the enemy." Liu Huang got up and seconded.
"This ...... What does Deputy Envoy Zhang think? The little emperor seems to have long been accustomed to this kind of scene, and knows that he can't interject, although he is still sitting upright, he has already wandered out of the world. Empress Dowager Yang hesitated and asked again.
"The minister thinks that what Lord Liu said is reasonable, although the official army lost the two battles, there are still 200,000 soldiers who can fight, and they can still find opportunities to fight again, and after repelling the thief leader Liu Shen, they can recapture Guangzhou with victory, and the current crisis can be solved." Zhang Shizhuo said.
"Lord Zhang, Xinghua Army, Guangzhou. Chaozhou has fallen into the hands of the enemy, and it is difficult to find a foothold along the coast, so it is the best policy to temporarily avoid occupying the city! Chen Yizhong snorted coldly.
"Chen Xiang, the generals and soldiers in the army are all recruited in Jiangnan, and they are afraid that the army will not go to occupy the city when they leave their hometown!" Zhang Shijie was dissatisfied, but he didn't dare to stand hard, so he used his soldiers to talk about things.
"Lord Zhang, the enemy army is huge, how can you repel the current enemy?" Chen Yizhong didn't listen to it well, and now that he has suffered defeats and heavy losses, there are many dissatisfaction in the army, and he also knows that no one can afford to force his behavior. But it was even more of a dream to go to Zhancheng with Zhang Shijie, who couldn't take the lead, so he asked.
"Our army still occupies a favorable position, and can hold on to the fortification, and wait for the opportunity to counterattack when the enemy is tired." Zhang Shijie said.
"What Master Zhang said lightly, it is difficult to raise food and salary here, how long can you hold on?" Chen Yizhong retorted.
"Although Fuguang has fallen, there are still counties in Guangxi, and we can call on the loyal and righteous people to work on the king, and urge the prefectures and counties to raise food and pay and send them to the imperial court." Zhang Shijie said......
"Alas......" Lu Xiufu looked at His Majesty who didn't know how to worry, and then looked at the figure behind the curtain and sighed secretly, this monarch can't be called a king, and the queen mother has no opinions, afraid that Chen Yizhong will dare to speak out even if he was deposed at the beginning, so that the dynasty will be sluggish. However, Zhang Shijie controlled the armies, but refused to use troops at the right time, and still adhered to the old rules, so that the war was lost again and again, which made the court fall into difficulties again and again.
"Two lords, I thought it was feasible to go to Qiongzhou, His Royal Highness King Wei has been operating there for a long time, and it is reported that he has trained tens of thousands of water infantry troops and built six or seven hundred warships. In addition, the coastal forts were built to strengthen coastal defense, and the enemy was repelled by means of the trenches of the strait, so as to ensure that there was no need to worry about it for a while. And Qiongzhou is a stone's throw away from the city, and it is not too late to move to occupy the city if the situation is critical! When the two argued, Liu Huang interjected.
"Well, moving to Qiongzhou is the best policy today, and there was a report that His Royal Highness the King of Guards has organized a sailor to be placed in Leizhou to inspect back and forth, and he can respond at any time to welcome the holy car to Qiongzhou, where it is better than sending people under the fence, or wandering on the sea!" Jiang Wanzai echoed.
"Yes, yes! I haven't seen my fifth brother for a long time, and I miss him very much, so let's go to Qiongzhou to find him to play! Without waiting for others to express their opinions, the little emperor who was dozing on the throne clapped his hands excitedly and shouted...... (To be continued.) )
