"What? Defeated?!"
When Zhao Ji heard this, his eyes and mouth suddenly opened, and his whole body seemed to have been sucked out of his soul, and he suddenly collapsed on the chair.
"Guanjia, take care of the dragon's body!" Sunflower hurriedly stepped forward to help.
Zhao Ji waved his hand to stop him.
Suddenly, he thought of something again, and Zhao Ji leaned forward suddenly.
Pointing at the sunflower with his finger, his eyes were a little ferocious. Zhao Ji's voice revealed a hint of chill, and he said through gritted teeth: "What is going on? Who is hindering it? You, tell the story in detail, Tell me exactly as it is!"
Sunflower had no choice but to bow and respond: "Old slave, I obey!"
After that, Sunflower sent out the army, and even told in detail what happened at the foot of Qingyun Mountain, and even what she said to Zhang Dao.
After hearing this, Zhao Ji closed his eyes in despair, his face full of dejection. He seemed to have aged ten years instantly, looking very decadent.
At this moment, Zhao Ji completely lost his energy.
Zhao Ji couldn't help but burst out laughing, not knowing what he thought of. The laughter was full of desolation and sadness.
"Hahaha! Thirty thousand troops, thirty thousand troops! We were defeated in one fell swoop just after we reached the foot of the mountain?"
"Even if it's 30,000 pigs, he can't catch them all in ten days and a half as a bandit, right?
"Could it be that the destiny of the Song Dynasty is really not with me?"
"Hahaha!"
Zhao Ji's sad laughter echoed in the empty hall late at night.
The maids and eunuchs inside and outside the hall knelt down one after another, not daring to raise their heads.
"Guan family!" Sunflower knelt down and kowtowed, holding her fists and choking: "You are responsible for the safety of the Song Dynasty, so you have to take good care of your dragon body!"
"Haha, take care, take care! What's the use of taking care of me! Thirty thousand forbidden troops can't even take down a small Qingyun Mountain. The New Deal is blocked, the lifeline of the Song Dynasty cannot be smooth, and there are people from the Yuan Dynasty who have repeatedly invaded the borders. How can I take care of myself! Ahem!"
Zhao Ji laughed angrily and stopped calling himself "I". He slapped the table and cursed, and he coughed laboriously.
Kuihua didn't care about the etiquette of monarchs and ministers, and hurriedly got up and stepped forward to support Zhao Ji, sat him on the couch, and patted Zhao Ji gently on the back.
After a while, Zhao Ji regained his composure, and his eyes showed some twilight. He looked at the sunflowers, like a primary school student who failed in the exam, and said sadly: "Sunflower enshrinement, I am the one you have watched since I was a child. You know that I am by no means the kind of person who is content and greedy for enjoyment.”
Hearing these words, Sunflower's old eyes were filled with tears. How could the emperor of a country be like this?
It was also Qi Qiran who said: "Guan, please stop talking and take care of the dragon body first!"
Zhao Ji shook his head and suddenly shouted loudly: "No, I want to say that the Yuan people controlled the territory of the Sui Dynasty and used it as a springboard to repeatedly invade our Song Dynasty border!"
"But the situation in the DPRK is complicated, the armaments are corrupt, and the ancestral system is at the forefront. I, I have no choice but to comply with the Yuan people's ambition!"
"I am innocent! Why can't people understand me? Why?!"
"Guan family, I understand your difficulties!" Sunflower responded in a low voice while patting Zhao Ji on the back.
Zhao Ji waved his hand, signaling Sunflower to step back.
Sunflower hurriedly stood up, took a cup of tea, and gave it to Zhao Ji with both hands.
Zhao Ji took the tea and took a sip. He closed his eyes and thought about it. It took a long time before he opened his eyes.
He seemed to have regained some sense, and there was a glimmer of light in his eyes, as if the person who had lost his composure just now was not him at all, and the ninety-five-year-old emperor had returned in an instant.
"Thanks to the incident in Qingyun Mountain this time, Sunflower Enshrined Zhouxuan. You are the benefactor of the Song Dynasty. You have saved me and the Song Dynasty from the disaster of destroying the country!"
"The official's words are serious. As an old slave, I serve the royal family. This is my duty." Sunflower said humbly, not daring to take any credit.
Zhao Ji thought for a moment and asked, "What happened to the big enshrinement and the second enshrinement? When can they leave seclusion?"
There are three worshipers in the worship pavilion, and Sunflower is one of them.
The three enshrined people are all supported by the royal family and are loyal to the royal family of the Song Dynasty. If you pick any one of them, they will be able to protect the country.
Sunflower answered truthfully: "Maybe it can take as long as half a year, or as short as two or three months, and you can get out of seclusion with just two offerings."
"Hmm!" Zhao Ji nodded slightly, with some thoughts in his eyes, and suddenly lowered his voice and asked: "In your opinion, with the combined efforts of the three of you, can we capture Qingyun Mountain?"
Sunflower was startled when she heard this, frowned and began to think seriously.
After a long time, Sunflower bowed her body, closed her eyes and slowly shook her head: "Guan family, I am not an old slave who despises myself. Judging from that person's methods, even with the combined strength of the three of us, I am afraid it will be difficult to block the opponent's attack! "
Zhao Ji didn't say anything when he heard this, he just nodded calmly.
Sunflower seemed to be afraid of what Zhao Ji would think, and continued: "You can only make friends with such people, not enemies!"
Zhao Ji did not express his position and began to think deeply.
The air in the hall seemed to freeze, and the palace maids and eunuchs were all trembling with fear, not even daring to breathe.
Occasionally, candlelight flickered and shadows in the hall swayed on the door.
I pondered for a long time, and even the candlelight was cut by Sunflowers several times.
Zhao Ji then let out a long breath.
The gloom on his face disappeared, replaced by a warm face, and he asked Sunflower with a meaningful smile: "Sunflower Priest, do you think we have a chance to recruit each other?"
Sunflower answered truthfully: "I'm afraid it's very difficult! His skills are unparalleled in the past and present, even the old slave has never heard of him. Such a person can be said to be transcendent from ordinary people!"
After hesitating for a moment, he continued: "I'm afraid... I won't be easily recruited!"
After thinking about it, Sunflower added: "Even if it can be recruited, which dynasty would dare to rest assured that such a powerful weapon that can destroy the country at any time is placed next to their pillow?"
Zhao Ji carefully looked at the sunflower bowing in front of him, his expression remained motionless, and after thinking for a moment, he said leisurely: "Sunflower Worshiper believes that during the Song Dynasty, the Yuan people invaded the country, the New Deal was delayed, and in Kaifeng, something happened again under my nose. What should the court do with such a dangerous person?"
Sunflower bowed and tied up, raising her eyelids slightly, "This old slave is the servant of the official, please give me your orders!"
Zhao Ji first shook his head, then nodded slightly, and said meaningfully: "Draw up the decree! Tomorrow morning, go to court and grant a marriage to Qingyun Mountain, and grant him a marriage to the daughter of the Minister of Etiquette!"
"Let Shilang Li go to Qingyun Mountain to deliver the message," Zhao Ji added, smiling: "Shilang Li hasn't seen his beloved daughter for many days. I think he misses her very much, so he might as well go and see her!"
"The sunflower offerings will also follow when the time comes, do you understand?"
"Old slave understands, the officials are wise!" Sunflower breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this.
It would be good if the officials could listen, otherwise, I'm afraid there will be a crisis of changing the dynasty.
"As for Maode..."
Zhao Ji's eyes flashed slightly, and he tapped his fingers on his thigh for a moment before he slowly said: "Since ancient times, how can a daughter of the Tian family share the same husband with others? Let the envoy of the Yuan people go to Qingyun Mountain to ask for someone!"
Sunflower couldn't help but raise her head and looked at Zhao Ji with astonishment: "Guan family, I'm afraid..."
Zhao Ji smiled and waved his hand, but his tone was full of majesty: "My attitude is very clear, I don't support or oppose it, but if he wants my Emperor Ji, he has to see if he has the strength! "
"I obey!" Sunflower reluctantly responded.
"And more!" Zhao Ji's eyes flashed with a chill, his eyes swept over the maid and eunuch in the west of the palace, but he did not say anything.
Sunflower nodded knowingly, with murderous intent in her eyes, and bowed: "Don't worry, old slave!"
