Chapter 017 Excavation

As the saying goes, there is nothing you can't get except what you can imagine. When you meet a god, any miracle may happen.

The trick also provides an excuse to continue to use it in the future, win a group of "believers", and even gain a certain right to speak and gain power.

As for Liu Fu, Zhao Bing thought that he had always been dubious at first, but when he presented the "four major endgames of chess" that were recognized by later generations, he became somewhat moved, and at least on the surface he believed his adventure. As for how much he believed, Zhao Bing

Bing is not sure, because such a complicated chess game is not something that a beginner can easily crack. Even a genius must have a learning process.

But regardless of whether Liu Fu believed it or not, Zhao Bing thought that he had become his own the moment he swore to keep the secret to God. Because he believed that Liu Fu was not a stupid and straightforward person, otherwise he would not have been demoted and demoted for so many years.

He was resurrected, but not all loyal people in history died well, and they often received mourning and glory after death. This shows that he is not pedantic and can judge the situation...

In fact, Zhao Bing was still young, and Liu Fu thought much more profoundly than him.

Chinese intellectuals have a tradition of being scholars since ancient times. In a society dominated by imperial power, rulers incorporated education into the track of imperial examinations. It not only fixed scholars on this track, but also became a standard of value recognized by the entire society before entering politics.

The ultimate goal is to become a bureaucracy. This is not only an inevitable choice for scholars to protect themselves, but also the only way out for civilians who want to improve their status, forming the so-called tradition of "learning in literature and martial arts, and selling goods to the emperor's family".

When the scholars passed the imperial examination and became officials, they suddenly thought that they could feel proud and proud, and they were soaring in the wind and clouds. In fact, they all faced different problems and dilemmas. Between ideals and reality, conscience and interests, spirit and passion, dignity and submission

In the meantime, the scholar class who once had traditional codes of conduct has become at a loss, confused and helpless.??

Liu Fu's road of loyalty to the emperor and serving the country was even more arduous. He entered the officialdom at a time when the Mongols were destroying the Jin Dynasty and marching south. The evil in the court was in power, loyalty was demoted, and politics was at its darkest. He impeached the traitor and advised the emperor to govern the country diligently and not to

He indulged in pleasure but lost his ambition. As a result, not only was he not accepted, but he offended the powerful ministers and was ostracized and denounced. He was recalled only a few years later.

When the new emperor came to the throne and Jia Sidao was demoted to death, the imperial court called Liu Fu to participate in political affairs, but he did not go in the name of Ding You. However, when Lin'an city was destroyed and the imperial court surrendered, he left home to face the national crisis and came to Fuzhou to seek help in saving the country.

, took office as a counselor in political affairs, participated in the establishment of a new dynasty, supported a new emperor, and hoped to restore the country.

Many surviving ministers discussed establishing a new dynasty, supporting the emperor's eldest son Zhao Shi as the emperor, respecting Concubine Yang Shu as the queen mother, naming the emperor's third son Zhao Bing as the king of Wei; welcoming Chen Yizhong as the left prime minister; Li Tingzhi, who was far away in Yangzhou, as the right prime minister; Chen Wenlong,

Liu Fu was appointed to participate in political affairs; after the arrival of the young anti-Yuan faction Wen Tianxiang, he served as the privy envoy and governor of all military forces; Zhang Shijie was the deputy privy envoy, Lu Xiufu was the signature privy council officer; Jiang Wanzai was the commander of the imperial army in front of the palace, and Su Liuyi was

The deputy commander of the army in front of the palace.

The leadership team was successfully set up, and the Queen Mother listened to the government behind the curtain. She still followed Xie Daoqing's instructions and ordered her veteran Jiang Wanzai to secretly take photos of the march and coordinate everything; publicly, she formed a government cabinet headed by Chen Yizhong, Zhang Shijie, and Lu Xiufu to regroup and revive the government.

At the same time, exiles from various places came to surrender one after another, and ministers from various places who refused to surrender also swore allegiance to the new monarch, which slightly boosted the momentum of the new government.

Liu Fu tried his best for the new court, but he soon discovered that the establishment of the Fuzhou regime was a hope for the revival of the Southern Song Dynasty, but now the hope was very slim. Although there were people like Jiang Wanzai, Wen Tianxiang, Zhang Shijie, 6

Hideo was so loyal and tried his best to turn the tide against the fallen minister, but he turned out to be more of an unscrupulous and incompetent person, and after a little stability, he started a new round of fighting.?

The emperor was young, and the empress dowager had no political ambitions or desires; the prime minister on the left, Chen Yizhong, lacked decisiveness and popularity; the prime minister on the right, Li Tingzhi, was far away in Yangzhou; the deputy envoy to the privy council, Zhang Shijie, was already busy with military affairs; the envoy to the privy council, Wen Tianxiangzhi,

He has almost no actual authority in his hands. In order not to reveal the truth, he no longer goes to the palace to attend court. However, another person in power, Jiang Wanzai, cannot interfere too much in the affairs of the civilian government due to the ancestral system that values ​​civility over military affairs.

In fact, no one with overwhelming authority and prestige can command the court.

Faced with the increasingly chaotic situation, Liu Fu was anxious and had no choice but as the internal strife escalated, the situation became even worse. Yang Liangjie, a foreign relative, took pride in being the uncle of the country and held the power. Zhang Shijie and Chen Yizhong had disagreements; Wen Tianxiang also had disagreements with Chen Yizhong.

He was expelled from the imperial court; the royal family show king Zhao Youlu and the consort Yang Zhen were kicked out of the small court by Chen Yizhong successively. Su Liuyi was suppressed and depressed; and Lu Xiufu was even more ambitious and was squeezed out by Chen Yizhong.

There are various signs that the exiled court can no longer accomplish much. Although Liu Fu had no choice but to do so, he still managed to maintain his duties as a minister. In November, the Yuan army attacked Fuzhou, led by Jiang Wanzai, Zhang Shijie and others.

170,000 officers and soldiers and 300,000 people escorted the young emperors Zhao Shi and Zhao Bing into the sea and sailed to Quanzhou. In Quanzhou, Zhang Shijie's mishandling led to Pu Shougengsheng's rebellion, and the court hurriedly moved to the sea to start their escape journey.

Liu Fu had been working hard for days, but suddenly something changed. In his desperation, he contracted an epidemic and was sent to an isolation ship. As his condition worsened, he felt that there was not much time left. Liu Fu was not afraid of death. Before he set foot on the journey to Fuzhou

At that moment, he put life and death aside, but at this moment, he was extremely unwilling to do so. He was studying poetry and books, thinking that one day he could save the people from fire and water, and help the country to fall. He showed his ambition, but at this critical moment, he had no idea.

As a result, there is only endless regret left!

Just when Liu Fu was extremely depressed, King Wei unexpectedly appeared. He not only cured himself and the patients on the ship, but his miraculous performance also broke the deathly atmosphere that shrouded the ship. As the contact increased, Liu Fu discovered

What is more extraordinary about him is not only his ever-changing intelligence, but also his calmness and maturity that are different from other children.

During the subsequent encounter with the enemy ship, King Wei's performance impressed Liu Fu even more. He quickly stabilized the chaotic scene with a few words and united everyone to fight the enemy. What is even more incredible is that he actually knows astronomy and geography and understands the structure of the ship.

, and used his knowledge to calmly maneuver out of the current predicament and once again saved the entire fleet.

Just when Liu Fu was full of doubts, King Wei seemed to have noticed what was on his mind and took the initiative to tell him about the encounter with the immortal. However, His Highness's seemingly unintentional move by a child seemed more like a game of chess to him.

, is an overall situation that affects the rise and fall of the world, and he seems to be just one of them.

After listening to the verses relayed by His Highness, Liu Fu suddenly realized that walking alone for a thousand miles, seven stars fighting each other, Guan Bao dividing the horse and the inchworm subduing the dragon coincided with the four games of chess, but he still couldn't figure out what it meant.

The people who laid out the plan were very thoughtful, and the depth of the city could already be seen from the chess game. And if it was said that it really came from His Highness, he still couldn't believe it, and he had to suspect that there was someone else helping behind him.

But regardless of whether it was true or not, Liu Fu knew that now that His Highness had told him everything, he had expressed his attitude. First, he showed his kindness to him and expressed his trust in him; second, he was testing his own attitude. But he felt that his

Isn’t it a bit ridiculous to put the wealth, life, and national destiny of the Song Dynasty on a young child, even if he is a child prodigy with noble blood...

After a sleepless night, when the sun rose in the morning, the wind stopped and the rain stopped. Accompanied by Liu Fu and Ni Liang, Zhao Bing walked onto the deck. The sea under his feet was so calm. Countless seabirds were flying around the island, and the birds were moored in the shallow bay.

The three isolation ships all passed through the stormy night safely. It would have been a good sight if it weren't for the floating corpses that appeared and disappeared on the sea.

The enemy ship stranded at the mouth of the island is still there, but it is leaning on the sea, like a beached whale rising and falling with the tide. The enemy ship anchored on the sea is not so lucky, and has long been blown away by the storm.

It is estimated that there is also a lot of bad luck.

"Your Highness, I sent a speedboat to patrol early in the morning. There were no enemy ships around, but I saw a lot of broken ship planks. I think they were destroyed in the storm." Commander Zhou Xiang saw them coming out and hurriedly greeted them with a smile.

road.

"Well, Commander Zhou has worked hard, do we have any losses?" Liu Fu nodded and asked.

"Your Majesty, my subordinates have sent people to the other two ships to inquire. The ships are safe and sound, but a few people were accidentally injured." Zhou Xiang replied quickly.

"What are the two brave men Zhao and Zheng doing?" Zhao Bing asked hurriedly when he saw Zhao Da and Zheng Hu leading several small boats towards the seaport.

"Your Highness, they are worried that there are still enemies on the capsized enemy ship and it will be detrimental to Your Highness, so they plan to board the ship to inspect and see if there is anything available." Zhou Xiang replied immediately, but his expression was more respectful. I don't know what others are doing.

, he truly believed that His Highness had the ability to exorcise gods and control ghosts. The enemy army consisted of more than 20 warships, but His Highness caused a strong wind while chatting and laughing, which drove them to pieces.

"Very good, Zhou Jun's envoys are calm in times of danger and dispatched properly. They are really talented generals!" Zhao Bing said approvingly. He knew that he didn't have any coins in his pocket and he wouldn't get any rewards if he wanted to. Anyway, you don't need money to praise others.

, it’s just a matter of spitting, and of course he won’t be stingy.

"Your Highness is so complimentary, how can I dare to do this? This time, it all depends on His Majesty's power... Mr. Liu was able to escape the danger if he commanded with determination. How can I have a small contribution from my subordinates." Zhou Xiang bowed deeply, and his words were humble, which was even more ridiculous.
