?cnThe Queen Mother, the wife of the late emperor and the mother of this emperor, according to the ancient Chinese tradition, the queen and concubines are not allowed to interfere in politics, because this will easily complicate politics. However, things have accidents. Once the old emperor dies and the new emperor is young,

He immediately became the staunchest defender of the new imperial power, and it was natural for the Queen Mother to come to the court to listen to the government.

The original intention of the Queen Mother coming to court was to ensure the safety of the new monarch and to prevent the ministers from causing chaos. But just because you are a female prostitute, foreign forces cannot stop attacking you. Domestic important ministers and nobles can do their work with peace of mind. In the end, he still has to govern the country.

Thinking about how to work with the civil servants and generals under her husband to steadily pass on the country and the country to the next generation, and live up to the expectations of her husband and son. As the saying goes, it is difficult to be a woman, it is even harder to be the emperor's woman, and it is even harder to be the queen mother.

It is even more difficult to be the Queen Mother before the court.

Is every queen mother a master of governing the country? The answer is maybe. Whether they can accumulate political experience during their tenure as queen or concubine depends largely on their relationship with their husbands. A loving husband may be willing to let

It is possible for a wife to participate in government affairs even if she is a sick person. So with her husband's study at the imperial desk, a smart woman will already be well versed in the ways of political intrigue. But not every queen mother has such a coincidence...

Empress Dowager Yang is the concubine of Du Zong and the biological mother of the current young emperor Zhao. When she first entered the palace, she was only named a beauty and had a very low status in the harem. Although she was promoted to concubine Shu ten years ago, she was the lowest ranking among the emperor's four concubines.

On the eve of the Yuan army's massive invasion of Jiangnan and the fall of Lin'an, she took the two princes and some ministers out of the palace to take refuge under the order of the Empress Dowager. After that, with the support of the ministers in Fuzhou, she made her son the emperor.

Then she became the Queen Mother.

Empress Dowager Yang has been in the harem since she entered the palace. Her status is low, she has no chance to touch the government affairs, and she is very unfamiliar with governing. And she does not have the ambition to seize power and command the world like Lu Pheasant and Wu Zetian. Therefore, such a person has never had any

It was actually quite difficult for a woman with political experience to listen to the affairs of the young emperor and decide on national affairs.

"The country has fallen to this point. The slave family...the slave family is ashamed of the late emperor and the empress dowager..." Empress Dowager Yang thought of how she had to go through all the hardships to escape to Fuzhou after leaving the palace, and support her son to ascend the throne during the national crisis, but she has been unable to do so.

Doing nothing, hiding in Tibet under the pursuit of the enemy, and even having to take refuge at sea.?

?b?i?But now that the enemy troops are coming again, but he is unable to do anything, he cannot help but feel sad and cry loudly in the court hall.

"The Queen Mother, all of my ministers are incompetent. They cannot repay the kindness of the king, and they cannot save the people from the fire and water. They really deserve death!" Seeing the Queen Mother crying in front of all the ministers, Chen Yizhong, as the court's assistant, had to make a gesture.

Go out and kneel down to pray for sin.

"I am incompetent and have failed the great trust of the Empress Dowager. I cannot resist the enemy and regain the country. Please punish me by the Empress Dowager!" Jiang Wanzai also lifted his clothes and knelt down.

"I am incompetent!"...Hurrah, people in the narrow main hall were kneeling on the floor in an instant, and people outside the hall didn't know what was going on inside. They all knelt down when they saw it, thinking about themselves

There is nothing wrong with me, so I also fell to my knees.

"Hey, if I could restore the country and repel the Mongols by killing you, I would have killed you long ago and you could still be here today!" Zhao Bing looked around. The emperor on the throne might have been frightened by this battle.

He curled his lips and wanted to cry but didn't dare to cry. He looked helplessly at his crying mother behind the curtain, and at His Highness's group of people huddled helplessly on the throne. And for a moment, he didn't know whether to kneel down or not.

It's better not to kneel down, but I feel extremely disdainful in my heart. If I have something to say, kneeling down every now and then won't solve the problem at hand.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, although the enemy is attacking again today, we still have 300,000 soldiers, dozens of prefectures and counties, and countless volunteers from all over the country. As long as Your Majesty raises your arms and calls out, there will be tens of millions of people who will respond. Don't give up easily."

Zhao Bing looked back and saw that Lu Xiufu was still standing next to him. He was holding a wat in his hand and said seriously with tears in his eyes.

"Mother, Master Lu is right. As long as the monarch and his ministers are united, why should we fear those Tatars!" Zhao Bing sighed secretly in his heart. A loyal minister is a loyal minister. He dared to stand up at critical moments. He jumped off the embroidered pier and stood beside Lu Xiufu, puffing up his chest.

Loudly said.? w?w w?．

?b?i?q?u?

"Qi Lang, what is being discussed in the court is a matter of national importance, so no noise is allowed."

"I just have feelings and it's not nonsense... Yes, I am wrong." As soon as Zhao Bing finished speaking, he was scolded by the Queen Mother. He wanted to argue, but heard the Queen Mother's sullen cold voice coming from behind the curtain.

Hum, he was unwilling but did not dare to say any more. It would be extremely unfilial to contradict the Queen Mother in front of the court. He understood this and quickly excused himself and left.

"Empress Dowager, I think that although His Royal Highness King Wei is young, what he said is quite reasonable." Liu Fu said again, "Wen Xiang led an army and struggled to support it, but the court did not have any soldiers or soldiers, and did not give grain.

Mi Shucao, if Jiangxi is defeated and cannot be defended, what good will it do to the imperial court? What is wrong with Prime Minister Literary and Military Leading troops to serve the king now that we are facing a formidable enemy? The military situation is urgent, and we are still arguing without a conclusion, which will not delay the military aircraft."

"Master Liu, don't we know what you are saying? But there are 50,000 troops in the governor's army. How can we solve the problem with just food and pay?" As soon as Liu Fu finished speaking, someone became anxious and came out to speak. Zhao Bing looked to see if he recognized him.

, but from what he heard, he should be an official from the Ministry of Household Affairs.

"Master Sun, your Ministry of Household Affairs is responsible for coordinating the country's expenditures, and it is your responsibility to collect and recruit rice, but you come to ask me?" Liu Fu asked in return.

"Mr. Liu, when we evacuated Lin'an, the national treasury was in deficit and all expenditures were made from the internal treasury. Although some tax money was raised when we were in Fu'an, the imperial court was accompanied by 300,000 soldiers and civilians. Now there are three walls of stone and rice.

It is impossible to get hundreds of banknotes, and the imperial court only needs at least three thousand shi of rice per day. Although Chaozhou has some grain reserves, it can last for several days, and how much money is needed? The treasury has already been unable to make ends meet." Old Sun is not afraid of Liu.

Fu, began to pour out his bitterness to him.

"Didn't we requisition a lot of property in Quanzhou?" Liu Fu finally understood. The Ministry of Revenue was calling for poverty, which meant that the Ministry of Revenue had no money and had to ask the Queen Mother to buy grain. He thought of the requisition during the evacuation of Quanzhou.

There are many merchant ships, and so much property on board is not lost.

"Hey, Mr. Liu, the Ministry of Revenue didn't receive much." Lao Sun glanced at Zhang Shijie and said with a bitter smile. His meaning was very clear. You can ask him where the money he robbed went.

"Mr. Liu, you don't know that now the treasuries of all the prefectures and counties in Chaozhou are empty and it is difficult to recruit them, and the enemy troops have already entered Guangxi and Guangnan. The allocated grain and grass cannot break through the encirclement. Now all transportation and transportation from Qiongzhou are by sea.

Land expropriation and expropriation.”

"The imperial court's original food supply is insufficient. How will we eat if there are 50,000 more troops? Otherwise, it will lead to a catastrophe."...

"What you all said is absolutely true. The officers and soldiers are unable to fight without food... Therefore, I would also like to ask Mr. Liu to show his righteousness to the people and ensure the supply of military food!" After everyone said something, Zhang Shijie said to Liu Fugong.

There was endless debate in the court, and Zhao Bing probably understood what everyone was saying. In this extraordinary period, food is more valuable than gold. Can gold be used as food? No. So it is said that food is the most important thing for the people.

The army must rely on food! A country without food is terrible, and an army without food is even more terrible. But after thinking about it, it sounds reasonable, but it doesn’t make sense after careful consideration.

La!

Now that the treasury is empty, apart from the private money in the palace, the only thing left to do is grab the property in Quanzhou. But these things are all controlled by Zhang Shijie, and the Ministry of Revenue can't get involved. So if you don't have money, you can't buy things.

They can't be blamed. And Zhang Shijie didn't want Wen Tianxiang to return to the court to fight for power, let alone take money out of his own pocket. The reasons he gave were indefensible, and he backhandedly pushed the problem to Liu Fu, you

Isn't it possible? If it is possible, you can do ideological and political work to the common people and ask them to temporarily tighten their belts. They would rather go hungry themselves than let the officers and soldiers go hungry.

"Your Highness..." Liu Fu was said to be speechless. How could he bear to collect the last grain of food from the people's hands? In such a situation that the people's hearts would be lost, just when he was unable to express his suffering, he suddenly

Feeling someone tugging on his back, he turned around and saw that it was His Highness. He asked doubtfully, but His Highness only shook his head slightly and said nothing. Liu Fu sighed and returned to the train.

Those civil servants were sharp-tongued, and Zhao Bing had learned this a long time ago, but now he said that warriors were rude and ill-informed, and even if they were beaten to death, they would not believe it anymore. Although Liu Fu was an upright man, he had too few twists and turns in his belly, and he could not believe it at all.

If you are not a match for those people, it is best to shut up for the time being to avoid embarrassment and listen to what they say first before worrying about it.

"My lords, there is no money in the national treasury. There are still some jewelry, treasures, gold and silver utensils brought from Lin'an in the inner treasury of the slave family. Let's use them as military pay!" The ministers kept talking, but they couldn't spare a word of money.

, Empress Dowager Yang saw everyone crying and said with a sigh.

The Queen Mother took out the family property, which immediately caused a stir in the court. The relevant officials spoke step by step, attacking each other and gloating about each other's misfortunes. However, they spoke a thousand words and digressed thousands of miles. Some people suggested that the top priority is to

Every grain of food circulating in the market was controlled to ensure the supply of military food; some people asked to lead troops to buy food and solved the food shortage; others suddenly showed great kindness and asked the court to adopt the scattered old, weak, sick and disabled people

, so that these vulnerable groups will not be harmed during war; some people are even planning to conduct a thorough investigation to see if anyone in the army has falsely reported their troop numbers, falsely received food and pay, and secretly hid trophies...

Military and state affairs should have been discussed in the court hall, in order to save the Song Dynasty from danger, but now the court meeting has been held for nearly two hours, and the ministers are still busy fighting for power and gain, leaving state affairs aside and shirk responsibility for each other. And 6

Although Hideo, Liu Fu and others had good intentions, they were still in a lower position. Before they could say a few words, they were besieged by the crowd, and there was nothing they could do in a hurry.

"Report, urgent report of the military situation from 800 miles away, Guangzhou fell yesterday!" Just as the court was talking nonsense, suddenly a little Huangmen ran into the palace in a panic and said holding the military report.

"Mother, the Tartars are here again!" The little emperor who was dozing on the throne was awakened. He turned around and shouted in fear. At this moment, the court hall had fallen into dead silence, and only the little emperor's sad cry echoed in the hall...
