019. The battle of the court
These reefs are only a few meters away from the shore, and everyone can see the appearance of this golden beast really clearly.
The oval head, the eyes were extremely cold, and the snake letters were spit out from the mouth from time to time.
Many ministers were very scared, but seeing that Zhao Dongting did not retreat, they had to stay where they were swaying their legs.
Only Yang Yidong protected Concubine Yang Shuhu and hurriedly retreated a few meters.
Zhao Dongting stared at the snake with his eyes, for fear that the snake would pounce on it, and that the auspicious beast would be self-defeating.
Fortunately, the golden snake was afraid of so many people on the shore, coiled around the reef, and did not dare to come forward easily.
Someone saw the two flesh horns on the snake's head and said in fear and excitement: "It's really a dragon! It's really a dragon!"
Zhao Dongting knew in his heart that this was not a yellow dragon at all, but a long-standing sea snake.
In his previous life, he heard from the old man in the countryside that some old snakes would have sarcoma on their heads. And the two dragon horns on the golden sea snake's heads are actually just as thick and thin as the length of the thumb. What if it is not a sarcoma?
As for the golden epidermis, it was probably born from genetic mutations.
However, Zhao Dongting could see that the ministers could not see it. They regarded the sea snake as a real dragon, and even the fear in their hearts faded away.
A minister walked up to Zhao Dongting and flattered, "The emperor is the true dragon emperor. Could this Huanglong feel the dragon energy on the emperor's body and come to meet him?"
The golden sea snake's tail was gently floating and suddenly it was ready to move.
Zhao Dongting hurriedly whispered: "Don't move, don't disturb the dragon."
In fact, he was afraid that the sea snake would pounce on it.
Although Li Yuanxiu is powerful, it is hard to say whether she can block this sea snake.
The ministers stopped moving quickly.
Snakes have different eyes structures than humans. They look at moving objects very sharply, but they often look at still objects without seeing them.
The ministers stopped moving, and the sea snake seemed to have lost its target in an instant and no longer moved.
After a few minutes like this, the golden sea snake suddenly jumped back into the sea and then went away in an instant.
Zhao Dongting quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, Zhang Shijie suddenly fell to the ground and shouted: "Divine Dragon Xianrui, long live the emperor!"
The ministers hurriedly knelt on the ground and shouted.
In the future, the families and the people also fell to the ground.
The sound of long live the mountain shouting is rising and falling.
Zhao Dongting pretended to laugh a few times and said loudly: "Everyone comes back to the court to discuss political affairs!"
He couldn't help but sigh in his heart that he was so lucky that he was just about to take power, and this mutated sea snake came out of the sea, which saved too much effort to win over people's hearts.
In fact, these ministers and people who could follow the ministers and people who came to the island of Benzhou were already loyal. Those fencemen had already run away and surrendered. The people on Benzhou Island were just lacking in confidence in the Southern Song Dynasty. Now that the "Huanglong went out to sea", their confidence will inevitably rise again.
The combat effectiveness that a united army and a low-spirited army can exert is completely different.
Return to the Hall of Political Affairs.
Zhao Dongting took the initiative to sit on the throne, and the ministers knelt on the ground and went up the mountain to shout long live.
Concubine Yang Shu had originally planned to continue to rule the country from behind the curtain, but now when she saw Huang Long Xianrui, she might feel that there is no need to do so. She even did not even enter the Political Affairs Hall, so she took the eunuchs and the maids back to the bedroom.
At this moment, everyone regards Zhao Dongting as the true dragon emperor who is recognized by God and can restore the Song Dynasty.
Zhao Dongting was also a little excited and waved his hand, "You are all dear friends."
Li Yuanxiu said with a sharp voice beside her, "If you have something to do, start the report..."
Listening to the voice sounds is like singing a flower drum opera.
Zhang Shijie walked to the middle of the hall and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to do to report."
Zhao Dongting smiled and said, "Say."
Zhang Shijie said: "I received a good news last night. Wang Daofu, the judge of Guangnan East Road Transport, and Ling Zhen, led his army to capture Guangzhou City."
All the ministers showed great joy on their faces.
Zhao Dongting also said: "This is a great thing!"
At this time, only a few governments left in the Southern Song Dynasty court had troops to resist the Yuan army. It was definitely an exciting and great thing to take down Guangzhou City again.
Zhang Shijie bowed and said, "The Island of Benzhou is overseas, and it is difficult to support it. It is scarce. I beg the emperor to lead the people to move to Yashan."
He obviously was thinking about this issue after receiving the good news last night.
When the ministers heard what he said, they immediately started to whisper.
Of course, Zhao Dongting knew Yashan. In history, the Southern Song Dynasty was destroyed on Yashan. Lu Xiufu, Zhang Shijie, and Zhao Bing all died on Yashan.
If you really move there, you're looking for death.
But he did not directly deny Zhang Shijie's words, but asked: "What do you guys think?"
He had just taken power, so he naturally couldn't act arbitrary.
Lu Xiufu also walked to the center of the hall and said to Zhang Shijie: "Why did Lord Zhang choose Yashan alone?"
Zhang Shijie said: "Yashan lives outside Guangzhou. It is shameful to have natural dangers. Moreover, Guangzhou is very easy to send troops to rescue him, so it can ensure that the emperor is safe."
Zhao Dongting murmured in his heart, it would be strange if Wuyu was not yet captured. In history, Guangzhou City had been captured before Yashan was captured.
He didn't want all the ministers to be persuaded by Zhang Shijie, so he didn't care too much at the moment and said, "Although Yashan is dangerous, Lord Zhang still remembers what I said just by the beach?"
Zhang Shijie was slightly confused.
Zhao Dongting said again: "Huanglong Xian Rui, I have said that we should start with Xianglong County and expel the Yuan army step by step."
Zhang Shijie was immediately anxious, "Master, we are short of troops, and the Yuan thieves are as powerful as tigers. If they attack, how can Xianglong County be defended?"
Several ministers from his faction also came out and persuaded Zhao Dongting to move to Yashan.
More ministers have not made any statement yet.
Zhao Dongting sneered, "I fled from Lin'an to Benzhou, and fled again and again. Do you really want me to be a fleeing emperor and have been infamous for thousands of years? In the future, I will be given the posthumous title of "Emperor of Rat" in history books?"
The ministers of Zhang Shijie's faction saw that Zhao Dongting was already angry and dared not speak.
Zhang Shijie stubbornly said, "Your Majesty, keep the green mountains here, don't be afraid of burning firewood! Why stay here and wait for death?"
"presumptuous!"
Zhao Dongting's face suddenly became cold and he shouted, "Who told you that staying in Xianglong County is just waiting for death?"
As the deputy envoy of the Privy Councillor, Chen Yizhong took over military power after leaving. Yang Shufei was full of military proposals before, and never opposed them. Now Zhao Dongting had just taken power and refuted his proposal, which made Zhang Shijie feel angry. He only thought that the little emperor was still childish and unwilling to retreat. He also said: "What is the difference between the emperor forcing himself to stay here in Xianglong County in a small place and the emperor's destruction?"
Zhao Dongting slapped the table and stood up, "pull Zhang Shijie out! He was 20 heavy sticks!"
A guard immediately walked into the hall from outside the door.
The ministers were anxious, and even Lu Xiufu and others were busy pleading for Zhang Shijie.
Zhao Dongting said, "I will never run away with my head in my arms. Even if I die, I will die in Xianglong County!"
Zhang Shijie wants to say something else, but was held back by Lu Xiufu.
Lu Xiufu said: "The emperor calms down, and Lord Zhang is also considering the country."
Zhao Dongting snorted coldly: "He is disturbing the morale of the army."
Lu Xiufu pondered twice, "But..."
The two guards had already walked to Zhang Shijie at this time and pulled him out.
Zhao Dongting turned a blind eye to the ministers who knelt down and pleaded with him.
Zhang Shijie didn't expect Zhao Dongting to really punish him, and his face turned red and shouted: "The foolish lord! The foolish lord! I am suffering in the Song Dynasty!"
He was still shouting until he was pulled out of the Constitutional Hall.
The ministers' faces were not particularly good-looking.
Originally, Huanglong went to sea and conquered Guangzhou were all a happy event, but now this incident has diluted the joy in everyone's hearts.
Zhao Dongting seemed to be extremely angry, shook his sleeves and said, "Sanchao!"
Then he took Li Yuanxiu straight out of the hall, leaving all the ministers looking at each other in the hall.
Walking out of the Political Affairs Hall, the anger on Zhao Dongting's face disappeared in an instant, and he said to Li Yuanxiu: "Dadfather-in-law, take me to the Imperial Physician Bureau."
When Li Yuanxiu saw Zhao Dongting no longer angry in a blink of an eye, he was puzzled and asked, "Your Majesty, what are you doing in the Imperial Medical Bureau?"
Zhao Dongting shook his head and sighed softly, but did not speak.
When he arrived at the Taitu Hospital, he found Doctor An and asked him to bring medicine to treat the trauma, so he asked Li Yuanxiu to take him to where Zhang Shijie lived.
Li Yuanxiu was even more puzzled, "Your Majesty, you are..."
Zhao Dongting said: "I actually don't want to blame Lord Zhang. This move just now is helpless..."
Li Yuanxiu couldn't understand the reasons for this, and couldn't help but sigh that the emperor was really a celestial being. At this age, his actions were hard to figure out.
When they arrived at Zhang Shijie's residence, Zhang Shijie had not returned yet.
His family members were surprised when they saw the emperor. It was a blessing that their elders were valued so much by the emperor.
Zhang Shijie's wife also deliberately sent two servants to wait outside the door, and told them to bring the adults in immediately when they came back.
She herself accompanied Zhao Dongting to drink tea in the living room and served her carefully.
