Chapter 366 Change
In the past, when Jiang Wanzai was alive, Zhang Shijie knew that he could not afford to offend him, and he owed them a favor to his father and son, so he always stayed away from him. But after Jiang Wanzai's death, Jiang Shi took over the front and rear of the palace and supported Zhao Bing ascended the throne, and he was already turning to the emperor. This made him unhappy, but the two had not yet broken up. Today, the war was approaching, and Jiang Shijie not only openly rebelled with him, but also exposed the most painful scar, which made Zhang Shijie unbearable, so he wanted to drive him out to court through the empress dowager.
"Mother..." Zhao Bing now knew why Jiang Jin failed to participate in the Yashan Battle in history, but it was over. But he knew that Jiang Jinli Chao was fine at other times. If he left at this moment, he would be like cutting off his arm. He couldn't help but turn his face and rushed to the curtain and said anxiously.
"Your Majesty, Lord Jiang died in martyrdom to save the late emperor, but he was buried in the vast sea, with no place to return, which made me feel uneasy. Sending Jiang Dutong back to his hometown to rest his soul as his father is also a filial act, so don't keep them." Before Zhao Bing could say anything, the Empress Dowager interrupted him and said.
"Report to Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager, the war is coming, and it is time to hire people. How can we leave at this critical moment!" Jiang Jin couldn't help but say anxiously when he saw that the Empress Dowager approved Zhang Shijie's request and the emperor's refusal was invalid.
"Jiang Du Tong, your Jiang family has been destroyed for the Song Dynasty. Lord Jiang has died in martyrdom to save the late emperor. As a son of man, you should build a tomb for your father to keep mourning. You should go and go back quickly, and forget about the concerns of the Ai family." Empress Dowager Yang helped him and said.
"His Majesty……"
"General Jiang Du, since the Empress Dowager is under the imperial edict, you can go!" Zhao Bing could not argue with the Empress Dowager in front of the ministers, so he could only sigh and say helplessly.
"As for your order!" Jiang Zheng saw that things were irreversible, so he could only thank him for his gratitude and retreat. His face was extremely ugly, and the ministers also looked at each other, not daring to say more.
"Your Majesty, Empress Dowager, Jiang Duma, will not be in charge of the army for a day. Sima Su and Liu Yi, the Sima of the Palace Front Army, is loyal and brave, and is well-versed in military affairs. I recommend him as the Chief Commander of the Palace Front Army!" Zhang Shijie remarked again.
"Well, I will follow the request of the Grand Tutor." Empress Dowager Yang agreed after thinking for a while.
"I thank the Queen Mother, Your Majesty for your grace!" Su Liuyi immediately went out to pay his respects to thank him.
"General Su asked for it. At this time, the country is the time to use people. Don't let down the painstaking efforts of Your Majesty and Ai's family." Empress Dowager Yang sighed secretly when she saw that the emperor had become a mouthless gourd again.
"The last general will definitely live up to the emperor's favor!" Su Liuyi thanked him again and stepped back to work, his face full of uncontrollable qualities.
Zhao Bing's hands clenched in his sleeves made a clatter of fists. At this time, he felt his energy penetrated the Tianmen and his ears were buzzing. He really wanted to curse, but reason told him that the more difficult it was, the more he should be tolerated. He must not cause divisions in the court, causing confrontation between the two armies, and thus worsen the situation. At the same time, Zhao Bing also knew that Jiang Jin would be more difficult to leave his situation, but he had no way out and could only go on with his teeth.
The court meeting lasted for more than two hours, and 6 Xiufu and others argued with Zhang Shijie, and there was no conclusion until the court was dispersed. But what was unexpected was that just after the court left the palace, Zhang Shijie had just discussed with 6 Xiufu and others, and without the Queen Mother's resignation, he issued an urgent order: all ships outside the cliff will be withdrawn into the cliff; the troops on the cliff will be destroyed and the camp will be returned to the boat; three hundred ships are divided into five square formations, namely the front and rear guards, the left and right guards, the emperor and the queen mother live in the boat as the central army. Each square formation will be inward on the bow and the stern of the ship will be anchored outward, and connected with iron cables to make it one, ready to defend the cliff sea to the death.
After ordering the three armies to return to their positions, Hideo Xu was so angry that his hands were shaking, he had no choice but to command the military and civilians on the island to clean up the fines and arrange them to board the ship. For a moment, the joyful atmosphere on the island was immediately shrouded in panic. They had to abandon their newly built home again. Everyone silently packed up their things, arranged the dumb and stupid things that could not be taken away, and carefully closed the door, as if they were just going out and would come back in a short time.
"Your Majesty, the palace is on fire!" The island withdrawal operation lasted until the early morning and ended. Zhao Bing sent Jiang Jin away before returning to the Sheji. He only instructed the troops to fill all the utensils that could store water on the ships, and ordered the implementation of water control for individuals to draw water with signs. He also required that each ship should replenish water in time as long as conditions permit, and to save fire and cooking. But he could not sleep no matter what, Ni Liang shouted.
"Oh!" Zhao Bing heard this and got up, took the telescope and looked out the window. He saw that the island was not known as a palace. Even the camps built, the grass market outside the palace were lit up, and the shadows were still visible. Someone could still run around with torches, so the fire should have been lit by them.
"Your Majesty, have you sent someone to put ashore to put out the fire?" Ni Liang reminded anxiously when he saw His Majesty, he looked at him without saying a word.
"No need, this is what Mr. Zhang asked someone to ask for help!" Zhao Bing put down the telescope and shook his head. He couldn't help but want to save him at this moment. The fire quickly spread to the entire palace area with the wind. The blazing fire illuminated the darkest moment of dawn. At this time, noisy shouts came from outside. Obviously, the fire on the island was seen everywhere, but it quickly became silent. But he seemed to hear the crying of people in it in the howling sea breeze, which made people feel sad and indignant, but helpless.
"Teacher Zhang?! But why did he burn the palace grass market?" Ni Liang asked in confusion.
"Haha, this is called a battle with the back. The meaning of burning the palace is to cut off the back road, which shows that he has already fought against the Mongols with the determination to die. If he cannot win, he will die!" Zhao Bing laughed dryly and explained to Ni Liang.
"It's stupid enough. If you can win a battle by burning some empty houses, I'm afraid that the old sows will fly into the sky!" Ni Liang said disdainfully after hearing His Majesty's explanation.
"Haha..." Zhao Bing laughed. Ni Liang was the spokesperson for stupidity in the palace. Now he called Zhang Shijie stupid, which made him very funny.
"Your Majesty is laughing at me?" Ni Liang asked unhappily as he saw His Majesty burst into tears.
"No, no, I mean you scolded so well, he is just a fool!" Zhao Bing knew that although Ni Liang didn't like to talk, he had a strong sense of self-esteem and waved his hands repeatedly.
"Your Majesty, do you think he is a traitor?" Ni Liang asked again after thinking about it.
"The treacherous minister is not a question. He is just an self-righteous idiot!" Zhao Bing replied with a sigh.
"I really want to beat him up. He drove away Jiang Dutong and our combat plan must be done again." Ni Liang said hatefully.
