Among the empress dowagers of all dynasties, this Empress Dowager Yang was one of the most miserable. Before her, the Southern Song Dynasty court was another empress dowager Xie Daoqing ruled the country from behind the curtain.

Empress Dowager Xie's experience is quite legendary. When she was young, she had dark skin and had an eye disease. She was selected into the palace due to her family background. Later, she suffered from measles, and her skin was shed, and she became a beauty with creamy skin. Her eyes were cured. So she was elected as her wife and then became a concubine and queen. She went through three emperors, Song Lizong, Song Duzong, and Song Gong, and an old woman struggled to support the country. In the end, she was unable to save the overall situation and failed to seek peace. She had to surrender to the Yuan Dynasty with the five-year-old Emperor Gong of Song. However, on the other hand, she arranged for minister Jiang Wanzai to take King Yi, King Guang and a group of officials to evacuate Lin'an, intending to rebuild the Song Dynasty.

The exiled court initially supported the King of Yi, Zhao Shi. Empress Dowager Yang was originally Yang Shufei. Because his son was made emperor, he became the empress dowager. Two years later, Zhao Shi fell into the sea and died in shock. So he made another concubine's son Zhao Bing the emperor. The emperor was too young, and the nominal imperial power fell into the hands of the empress dowager. Empress Dowager Yang was driven to the shelves and had no ability at all. Therefore, her younger brother Yang Liangjie was the master of big and small matters. The relatives interfered in politics. The people of the Zhao family were unhappy. The royal family fought fiercely with Yang Liangjie, and the civil and military generals also fought for power and power. Former Prime Minister Chen Yizhong was incompatible with Lu Xiufu, and Jiang Wanzai, the commander of the front hall, and Jiang Wanzai and the general Zhang Shijie were not in harmony. Fortunately, Chen Yizhong is now traveling far away to occupies the city, and Jiang Wanzai drowned to save the emperor. The struggles in the Song Dynasty were finally less.

Empress Dowager Yang summoned the Eight Immortals, which was the idea of ​​the uncle Yang Liangjie. Yang Liangjie wanted to support his strength and civil and military ministers, and the royal family fought against each other. These outsiders were the best choice.

"Since I am not a Taoist, I can be appointed as an official, so let's go to General Dingyuan." Empress Dowager Yang lightly named Liu Yanzhi, which was worse than the national teacher promised by the young emperor.

There is a reason why Empress Yang did this. She thought that Liu Yanzhi was just a cow and was definitely not the core character among the Eight Immortals. The two women were excluded first, and there was no need to say that the golden retriever was born. The young man and the big man who looked like Zhao Yun did not look like people who could make decisions. The two left were good-looking.

These two are actually the same person, the middle-aged version of the party patriotism and the elderly version of the party.

The aesthetic views of the people of the Song Dynasty were slightly different from those of other dynasties. They had unique standards for the concept of handsome men. All strong and tall men were not as good as the average figure, with sloping shoulders, big belly, loose muscles, white skin as snow, slow speech, and whispering, and it is best for men with three beards.

Although the party’s patriotism is not all in line with it, its temperament is the closest, especially a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, which inexplicably adds a lot of literati style. Empress Dowager Yang is a face-controller. She believes that the person who looks good is the protagonist, so she naturally believes that the party’s patriotism is the leader of the Eight Immortals. After Liu Yanzhi was appointed as General Dingyuan, she began to talk to the party’s patriotism.

Dang Paiguo was a university professor and was very eloquent. He was much better than Liu Yan's straightforwardness. After a constant stream of talk, Empress Dowager Yang was shocked and immediately named him the Hanlin Bachelor of Science and the Jinzi Guanglu Doctor.

As for the others, Empress Dowager Yang was not even interested in asking questions, but did not treat him unfairly. Each of them was granted an official position. Liu Handong got a guerrilla general because of his mighty appearance. The others were Zhaowu lieutenants, and Guan Lu and Zhen Yue also received a Xuanjie lieutenants.

In addition to being appointed as officials, there are also rewards. Although they were exiled to the court, the show was still there, including gold, silver, jade, silk, and official clothes, fish bags and armor. A group of young palace maids peeked outside the cabin window, laughing endlessly, making everyone confused.

After the summons, the court arranged a new residence for the Eight Immortals, and each person had a separate cabin. This was a very high treatment. You should know that there were more than 200,000 people in the entire navy, and on average, there were 200 people per ship. Moreover, there were a large number of royal families, officials, eunuchs, palace maids, family members of the army, old, weak, children, chickens, ducks, pigs and dogs. There were only 50,000 people who could fight. The royal family had the greatest sincerity to be able to squeeze out eight empty cabins.

The Eight Immortals gathered together, savoring the jewelry they received and talking about their official positions. Dang Maiguo smiled and said, "The Queen Mother is a woman, and the scattered official who doesn't want money is unwilling to give it to you."

Liu Yanzhi didn't understand and asked him what a scattered official was.

Dang Paiguo Road: "Single officials are different from officials, so they are complicated to say. Simply put, they are the same as military ranks. The commander of the troops is usually the colonel. The commander of the regiment is the official, and the colonel is the official. When this person retreats from the position of the leader of the regiment or becomes the chief of staff, the official changes, but the official remains unchanged and is still the colonel."

Liu Yan said straight: "Then how old are we all?"

Dang Paiguo Road: "You are older. According to the Song system, General Dingyuan is a fifth rank, and Handong is slightly inferior. He is from the fifth rank, and the others are all sixth rank, and two ladies... Although Empress Dowager Yang is a woman, she is very discriminatory against women. The one who gives you an eighth rank official."

Guan Lu and Zhen Yue both rolled their eyes.

"What about you, what kind of rank?" Liu Yan asked directly.

"I am not much the same as you. The Hanlin bachelor is a official, and the Jinzi Guanglu doctor is a official, and they are all third-rank officials. Moreover, I am a civil servant. You are both military officers. The Song Dynasty emphasized literature and suppressed martial arts. Even if the ranks were the same, they were slightly inferior." The party said patriotic and proudly.

Soon, two officers came to invite Liu Yanzhi and said that Marshal Zhang was summoned. Liu Yanzhi followed them to a warship with the Zhang Shishi. After half an hour of the sea breeze blew on the deck, he didn't see Zhang Shijie. He couldn't help but feel a little angry. Just as he was about to leave, the officer came and bowed: "The Marshal is busy with military affairs and has no time to have time to have time to have sex. Please leave the Qiankun bag. My Marshal wants to appreciate it."

Liu Yan said straight: "I want a Qiankun bag? OK, come and get it if you have the ability." As he said that, he took out the bag bag around his waist, tilted the mouth of the bag, and a stream of clear water suddenly flowed out.

"Those who do not obey the general's orders shall be killed!" The officer seemed to be waiting for this sentence. With a wave, eight imperial guards rushed over with iron-headed sticks. They were not Liu Yanzhi's opponents. They were beaten violently by him, lying on the deck and wailing.

Liu Yanzhi walked away, walked around and returned to his cabin, but found a little girl in red and green sitting in the room, probably only sixteen or seventeen years old. He looked at him timidly, his body trembling obviously.

"Who are you?" Liu Yanzhi asked with a frown.

"My name is Luzhu, and he is the palace maid next to the Queen Mother... Are you really a bull spirit?" the little girl asked in a low voice, speaking with a Lin'an accent.

"Who told you that I am a bull spirit?" Liu Yan was so amused and crying.

"Aren't you the mount of Laojun? I'm still young, please spare me." Lu Zhu was so scared that she shrank into the corner, pinching the corner of her belt, for fear that Liu Yanzhi would turn into a huge and unfriendly green bull to get a bullock.

Liu Yan smiled angrily, and went out of the cabin to knock on the door of Liu Handong next door. He found that there was also a palace maid named Xin Xiaowan in the cabin. Liu Handong was showing his palms to others. Then he looked at Li Ju's cabin. The girl here was even younger, only at the age of fourteen or fifteen, and Li Ju was shy and helpless.

It turned out to be the second wave of reward from Queen Mother Yang. This time, the capital was added. Each of them rewarded a young and beautiful palace maid. As for Guan Lu and Zhen Yue, they entrusted the female official to propose marriage to them. Their parents were all young talents, but only the party and patriotism did not have palace maids, but only two young eunuchs with beautiful eyes.

This time it was Dang Patriotic's turn and was stunned. With Professor Dang's IQ, it is not difficult to guess that Empress Dowager Yang has a good impression of herself. A empress dowager who was in exile in the court fell in love with a time traveler from the 21st century. It sounds romantic enough, but the reality is cruel. The enemy is in front of him and the civil and military are incompatible. It is a big deal to think about this kind of destruction.

The palace maids were not given to them as maids, but to the empress dowagers, and they had to marry them. They didn't care if they didn't want them. The men didn't care. The most miserable ones were the two ladies who were married for no reason. Fortunately, during the war, no one forced them to get married immediately, just to express the care of the court.

Liu Yanzhi's attitude was very firm and refused to accept it. He asked these palace maids to go back to the imperial dragon boat, but they cried and refused to go back. After a long time of trouble, someone finally came to the end. This one was the uncle Yang Liangjie.

The uncle first followed the meaning of the Eight Immortals and sent the palace maids back. Several palace maids were as if they were pardoned and left in a hurry. Then the eunuchs took out the food boxes and placed a table of rich wine and dishes. Ordinary soldiers couldn't even drink fresh water. However, there were luxurious roasted suckling pigs, raw cut fish sashimi, various fruits, old daughters, and various dishes were dazzling and fragrant. It could be seen that they were the craftsmanship of the imperial chef.

Yang Liangjie first gave everyone three glasses of wine, and then sighed and said, "The Empress Dowager, an orphan and widowed mother, was bullied by these civil servants and military generals. It is really intolerable."

"What do you want us to do?" Liu Yanzhi asked calmly.

"The Empress Dowager's secret order is here." Yang Liangjie looked around vigilantly, and secretly took out a yellow silk handkerchief from his sleeve. "When the Song Dynasty is in danger of survival, loyal ministers and generals like General Liu need to serve him."

Liu Yan looked at the secret order with a glance, raised his hand and slapped Yang Liangjie in the face: "The enemy is in front of him, and he is still thinking about internal fighting. I know how I was defeated in the Battle of Yashan."

It turned out that Liu Yanzhi had become more concise just now. He believed that with Zhang Shijie's character and style, it was unlikely that he would rob him. He would rob him directly if he wanted anything. This was too expensive. Sure enough, he found another giant ship with the Zhang-character flag, flew up quietly, and saw the real Zhang Shijie from outside the porthole.

Zhang Shijie is tall and has a heavy face. He looks like a irritable martial artist. He didn't send anyone to ask for any Qiankun bag, but was discussing strategies with the generals to defeat the enemy.

So Liu Yanzhi understood that this was just a plan against him. The planner was the uncle in front of him. He had a strong enemy outside. These relatives were still thinking about fighting for military power and using him to kill Zhang Shijie. It would be strange if such a court was not destroyed.
