The sky was covered by large thick dark clouds, and arcs of lightning leaked from time to time from time to time, thunder roared, heavy rain was pouring, the sky, earth, mountains and seas were covered with whiteness.

Cliff City, traveling palace, and hanging arch hall.

Although it is also called the Chuigong Hall, due to the conditions, it is simple and simple. The Chuigong Hall at the ends of the world is far from being compared with the former hall of the Tokyo Imperial Palace, or even the Chuigong Hall in the Lin'an Imperial City. Even the general states in the Central Plains are much worse than those in the Central Plains.

However, no matter how simple it is, it is still called the Chuigong Hall and is still the court of the Song Dynasty.

Wen Tianxiang, the right prime minister of the Song Dynasty, Chen Yizhong, the left prime minister, Zhang Shijie, the deputy envoy of the Privy Council, Yang Liangjie, the minister of the Ministry of Revenue, Zeng Yuanzi, the chief minister of the Privy Council, Ma Nanchun, the chief minister of the Privy Council, Chen Zhi, the chief civil servant of the Navy, Huang Tiancong, the chief military chief of the infantry, Huang Cai, the chief military commander of Chengxuan, and Xu Dafu and other regal lieutenants of Yashan were all present.

In the middle of the hall, above the Danbi, behind the empty dragon chaise, a rare layer of bead curtain was hanging down. Behind the curtain, there were figures of people, and there were eunuchs on both sides who served and waited quietly. All this shows that Empress Dowager Yang was in power behind the curtain.

It will be a big deal to make this disheartened woman ask about politics again and let all the court officials gather together.

That's right, it's indeed a major event that concerns life and death - Ali Hague's 40,000 troops crossed the sea to conquer the Song Dynasty.

With the sound of lightning and lightning, the hall had been silent for a long time until Zeng Yuanzi, the assistant minister, sighed slowly and broke the silence: "What a heavy rain, it was really timely rain."

Huang Cai, the director of the staff, also looked happy: "That's right, such heavy rain, the wind and waves on the sea are unspeakable, and sails in the ports cannot go out to the sea. God will favor me, and the Yuanmen can do nothing."

Chen Zhiheng looked at the two of them. His official position was too far away and he dared not speak out. He could only say lightly to Huang Cai: "Thunderstorms will always pass, the wind and waves will always calm down. If you come late or early, the Yuanlu will always come."

Huang Cai was unhappy: "The Yuanlu is one day late, and we can prepare for one more day. How can this late arrival be the same as early arrival?"

Chen Zhi said coldly: "It rained all day long, and many fortifications to combat enemy collapsed, so it is difficult for new soldiers to practice. How to prepare for the job?"

Huang Cai was suffocated and was about to reply, when a clear and majestic voice came from the head of the head: "The Empress Dowager is here, all the ministers and workers should not lose their courtesy."

As soon as Wen Tianxiang spoke, Chen Zhi and Huang Cai did not dare to argue anymore, so he hurriedly apologized to the Empress Dowager behind the pearl curtain.

A soft and slightly tired voice came from behind the curtain: "Forget it. When the enemy is in front of you, all the ministers should work together to defend against foreign invaders and not fight within."

All the ministers bowed and said that.

Empress Dowager Yang's tired and worried voice resounded: "I kept evading south again and again, and the Yuan captains repeatedly threatened. Yuan general Ali Hague raised tens of thousands of troops, hundreds of ships crossed the sea, and the soldiers pointed directly at the cliff palace... Your family, how should you deal with this crisis? You guys come up with a charter...ah!"

Before he finished speaking, a sudden thunder exploded, and the soft voice suddenly changed its tone and even screamed in shock.

The graceful empress dowager suddenly became a little woman. The ministers in the court were extremely embarrassed for a moment. They sat upright, looking at their eyes, nose and heart, as if an old monk had entered into meditation.

But others can pretend not to hear it, but Yang Liangjie cannot. Fortunately, this uncle has never seen his sister in his childhood. He has rich experience and quickly came back to his senses and immediately changed the topic: "The Empress Dowager does not need to worry. With literature, Chen and his two husbands are here to plan military aircraft and arrange strategies, and also to be dangerous in the mountains and seas and solid in the city. As long as the generals and the soldiers use their lives, they will be able to resist the Yuan captives at the sea."

After Yang Liangjie interrupted, the ministers nodded and exposed the embarrassment first, but calmed down and savored it, it seemed that something was wrong...

Sure enough, the next moment, Huang Tiancong said loudly: "Shangshu Yang's words are inappropriate. Military affairs should be planned by the Privy Council, and the strategic arrangements will also be returned to the Ministry of War. Where does this words be set up by Zhang? "

Zhang Shijie was the deputy envoy of the Privy Councilor and also in charge of the Ministry of War. Military affairs have always been Wen, Zhang Gongju. Now Yang Liangjie calls him "Wen and Chen" and directly skipped Zhang Shijie. His words were more than just inappropriate, and he simply did not take Zhang Shijie seriously.

Huang Tiancong shouted, and Zhang Shijie's face looked so ugly. All the ministers were shocked by Yang Liangjie's sudden attack and were at a loss.

Chen Yizhong coughed lightly and was about to speak. Yang Liangjie bowed to him, turned to the pearl curtain, raised his scepter and said: "The Empress Dowager clearly understands that Shijie had the defeat of Jiaoshan before and Yashan later. The two battles related to the fate of the country were both water battles. Shijie used the same tactics, both of which were built by boats, and they could not be retreated, which was not done by good generals. It can be seen that Shijie was not good at water battles. Now he has retreated and has no way to retreat. Life and death are here. If Shijie is allowed to be the head coach again, there is something I can't bear to say..."

"Oh, Yang Liangjie, how dare you insult me ​​in public!" Zhang Shijie was so violent that he was furious when he heard this, and raised his tablet and was about to beat him.

Ma Nanchun was taking the lead while Zhang Shijie was quick and quick, and he quickly grabbed it. The ministers took action one after another, some stopped Zhang Shijie and some protected Yang Liangjie. The scene was out of control. The commander of the four wings of the Tianwu and Dragon God Guards Yang Xingyong led a few halberd warriors to stand outside the hall. Seeing the two important officials fighting each other, including his father, they didn't know what to do.

"What kind of morality does court officials fight each other!" Empress Dowager Yang was angry and angry, but one was his elder brother and the other was an important official who was relied on by the court, and he could not speak harsh words.

Wen Tianxiang even shouted repeatedly, directly scolding Zhang Shijie for being a courtesy of no ministers.

When Empress Dowager Yang was angry, Zhang Shijie restrained himself, threw away Ma Nanchun, and put on his robe. He scolded Wen Tianxiang just to bow his hands and said he was rude, but looking at his expression, what was the point of being rude?

Zhang Shijie glanced at Yang Liangjie coldly, bowed to Empress Dowager Yang, and said loudly: "Since Yang Shangshu questioned, Shijie was unwilling to be a corpse and missed the military and national affairs. So he asked the Empress Dowager to issue an imperial edict to remove Shijie from his post as Deputy Envoy of Privy Councilor and Minister of War."

Empress Dowager Yang was panicked, and Zhang Shijie was defeated repeatedly, but among them, how many people could truly know the military and have prestige? It was nothing more than Wen Tianxiang and Zhang Shijie. It seemed that Zhang Biwen was even better, at least he had not been captured again and again... How could she not know the little thoughts of her brother, it was just a continuation of the struggle for power back then.

Empress Dowager Yang hurriedly said: "Zhang Qing is skilled in military affairs, is well-planned in the country, and has often confronted Ali Hague. He can be said to know himself and his enemy. This time, it is not Wen Qing, but Zhang Qing and his ministers work together to protect the country."

Of course, Zhang Shijie would not take it seriously and leave. He would do his best to have a step to get down.

Zeng Yuanzi quickly came out to be a peacemaker: "As Shangshu Yang said, I have the dangers of mountains and seas and the solid city, which is different from the time when Yashan Mountain was not at risk, so I could only build a village around the boat to resist. Moreover, Ali Hague is not as powerful as Zhang Hongfan, and his military strength is also divided by my Wan'an, and the two armies of Changhua are divided into thine. In this way, Mr. Zhang may not be able to stop him."

All the ministers nodded. Zeng Yuanzi's statement was quite reasonable. Some even proposed whether to let Xin'an Hou transfer part of Wan'an's army back to aid. However, they were opposed by Ma Nanchun, who believed that the more troops the Wan'an army, the more concerned Ali Hague would be and use more troops to attack. This is of great significance to reducing the pressure on Yacheng. Wan'an's army must not be drawn.

This was supported by Wen Tianxiang, Chen Yizhong and Zhang Shijie, and soon the proposal was submerged in the court discussions of the ministers.

Finally, the ministers agreed that the only way to defend and resist was to resist. The Song army could not fight by water or naval battles, but defending the city was a strong point. After fighting with the Mongolian Yuan for so many years, if the Song army had a little confidence in fighting against the Mongolian Yuan, then the only way to defend the city was to defend the city.

The figure flashed behind the curtain, but Empress Dowager Yang stood up and bowed slightly, with vocal trembling: "The battle in Yacheng is in the battle, and the fate of the Song Dynasty will be entrusted to you."

The palace was covered with crowns, bowing to the ground: "The great Song Dynasty will prosper forever, and I swear to live and die with the Yacheng!"
