Chapter 24 The Yellow Dragon Goes To Sea (2)
Before he could think of it, Zhao Dongting shook his head slowly and sighed: "The two beloved friends slept peacefully, but I have almost never slept all night..." Lu Xiufu and Su Liuyi looked at each other, and the ministers next to him also showed confusion.
Lu Xiufu asked, "Why can't the emperor sleep all night?"
Chen Wenlong, Liu Fu and others were also busy listening.
Zhao Dongting said: "I listened to the continuous sound of the waves on the shore of the Bianzhou Island. I couldn't stop thinking about when we can end this life of escape, when will we expel the Yuan thieves and restore my Song Dynasty.
The sound of waves after waves was like the ancestors constantly scolding me in my ears, asking me when I could destroy the Yuan thief, making my heart as if I were torn into my heart, so how could I sleep?"
When the ministers heard Zhao Dongting's words, they couldn't help but think of the miserable and displaced life in the past few years. They were instantly sad and thought that the Song Dynasty is now in danger and lacks major generals. It is really difficult to expel the Yuan thief.
A few older ministers couldn't help but kneel in the hall and burst into tears, "I'm incompetent..." Their crying ignited the emotions of everyone in the hall, and the crying sounds were endless. Even the great master Li Yuanxiu, who was standing next to Zhao Dongting, couldn't help but wipe her tears.
I was afraid that Zhao Dongting would not cry in the entire hall.
He looked at these ministers who were wailing and thought to himself that these ancient people were so cute as they wrote in Jin Yong's novels that they were so easily incited.
I just don’t know if the heroes of this era are as righteous as Guo Jing in the novel. If that is true, perhaps they will be the most powerful force in dealing with the Yuan army.
His mind was full of energy.
Concubine Yang Shu and Yang Yidong walked in from outside the hall at this time and saw the ministers in the room crying, with confusion on their faces.
Concubine Yang frowned and asked, "Why are you all crying here?"
A few people stopped crying and were about to answer, but they saw a slightly fat figure running out of the hall, shouting, "Empress Dowager, Emperor, auspiciousness, auspiciousness... Empress Dowager, Emperor, auspiciousness comes from the sky..." When he ran to the hall, it was not Zhang Shijie and Lord Zhang.
Zhang Shijie was panting, but with a happy face. Looking at Yang Shufei and Zhao Dongting, he said unhappy: "Empress Dowager, Empress Dowager, dozens of people saw the yellow dragon churning in the sea by the sea."
Everyone looked incredible.
Zhang Shijie continued, "This is the auspicious sign of my Song Dynasty! As soon as the emperor took power, such a divine beast appeared to fly on the sea. Isn't it a symbolic emperor who should go out to sea like a yellow dragon, leading our Song Dynasty soldiers and civilians to drive away the Yuan thieves and restore the country?"
Not to mention Zhao Dongting, even the others were stunned when they heard this, and the crying in the hall suddenly stopped.
Is there really a dragon in the world?
Of course, Zhao Dongting didn't believe that there were any divine dragons in this world, but he vaguely remembered that it seemed that it had been recorded in history books.
At that time, Zhao Feng had already died of illness, and King Guang Zhao Feng became the emperor. Some people saw the yellow dragon rolling on the sea. For this reason, the small court deliberately changed the reign of Xiangxing and promoted the island of Juzhou to Xianglong County.
Unexpectedly, after I came here, such a thing really happened.
Immediately, Zhao Dongting hurriedly said, "Where is Huanglong?"
Let's go and see it quickly."
As he said that, he hurried out to the hall.
The ministers hurriedly followed behind and talked a lot.
The saying of the Dragon is illusory, and everyone wants to know if this is true.
Many people think in their hearts that if the dragon is really born, then there may be some hope of revival in the hands of the little emperor.
However, Zhao Dongting did not think that there would be a Huanglong going out to sea. He only thought that this was a trick that Zhang Shijie deliberately played to unite people's hearts. It was similar to Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's Qin Dynasty when the uprising was filled with brocade in the fish's belly, and wrote "King Chen Sheng..." on it.
He had just run out of the Political Affairs Hall, and of course he was just pretending.
Now the people of the minor court of the Southern Song Dynasty are in a sluggish manner. Zhao Dongting has just ascended the throne, so he has to admit that Zhang Shijie is very accurate in this opportunity.
If the Huanglong story can really be spread and the military and civilians will develop confidence again, then Zhang Shijie will remember his first contribution.
Thinking of himself, Zhao Dongting suddenly felt that he really underestimated the wisdom of the ancients.
I just used the waves to make the ministers cry, but I didn't expect that Zhang Shijie could even make Huanglong go out to sea.
This comparison is simply a verdict on the prestige.
A group of people rushed towards the mountains and the seaside in this way.
The guards on the road looked at each other, wondering what the empress dowager, the emperor and all the civil and military ministers are going to get angry today.
Zhang Shijie ran to the front to lead the way, and when he led Zhao Dongting and the others to the beach, he was so tired that he couldn't even straighten his waist.
There are rugged rocks in the shallows in front, and the waves swayed on the reefs.
Here, many people are already gathering around, all waiting and watching from the sea.
Most of these people were ministers and the families of the guards were brought out from Lin'an. When they saw Zhao Dongting and Yang Shufei, they hurriedly saluted and knelt on the ground and went up the mountain to shout long live.
Zhao Dongting thought to himself that Zhang Shijie was really delicate and did a full set of acting. He probably expected that people like him would come and watch.
Some ministers actually believed it and asked these people gathered by the sea, "Where is Huanglong?"
Where is Huanglong?"
They kept stretching their necks to watch the sea.
Zhao Dongting just wanted to laugh in his heart. If these people had really seen Huang Long, could they still stay here?
Sure enough, everyone present said they didn't see it.
The ministers all looked at Zhang Shijie.
Zhang Shijie said: "Someone really saw Huanglong rolling with the waves here."
As he said that, he looked at the people around him, "Do you know who witnessed Huanglong going out to sea with his own eyes?"
These people who are waiting for Huanglong to appear here are saying something, some say it is Zhang San, some say it is Li Si. Everyone says it is quite like that, it is so lively. Even Yang Shufei, Yang Yidong, Lu Xiufu and others are skeptical.
This is not because they are not smart, but because of the limitations of ancient technology, the divine and magical things were quite popular, and the believers were far more than those who did not believe them.
Zhao Dongting already knew it, but naturally he would not expose Zhang Shijie.
Zhang Shijie's move is to unite people's hearts for him.
It can be imagined that as long as the Huanglong incident spreads, Zhao Dongting will have a great reputation in the future.
At that moment, Zhao Dongting pretended to be excited and shouted: "The dragon goes out to sea, and the Song Dynasty is about to prosper.
If these auspicious beasts are descended from heaven, our great Song army and civilians will be able to expel the Yuan thieves and restore the rivers and mountains."
