[Comprehensive] Feasibility report on the restoration of the country

It was almost the end of the year when Murong Fu returned to Bianjing all the way.From the seventh year of Yuanyou to the eighth year of Yuanyou, Murong Fu was ordered to inspect the customs of all walks of life across the country, rectify the Buddhism and Taoism, and the preaching atmosphere of various sects in the Song Dynasty was completely cleared.In the past two years, Murong Fu has withdrawn from temples and Taoist temples, privately acquired tens of thousands of acres of land, questioned thousands of false monks and false Taoists, earned tens of millions of coins for the court, and determined the future sharing of sesame oil money between the court and Buddhism and Taoism.

This move curbed the expansion of Buddhism and Taoism, and increased considerable tax revenue for the imperial court.Such a feat was naturally highly praised by the Empress Dowager and the officials.Both the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty can be foreseen. After the nine years of Yuanyou passed, Murong returned to office and became a minister to take charge of a department of affairs, which is what the title should mean.Murong Fu is only 29 years old now, he has both the favor of the Tian family and his own merits, so it is just around the corner to develop into the cabinet and minister.Such a hot stove, how can everyone not burn it?

The so-called people in the officialdom cannot help themselves.Even though Murong Fu knew that most of these officials, big and small, who came to take advantage of the heat were useless, but in order that they would not easily fall to the New Party in the future, he still took the time to spend a lot of time, in order to make everyone happy and satisfied However, he felt that he was very close to the prime minister's reserve, so that he could be reused right in front of his eyes.

In this way, three or five days have passed since the days of entertaining the officials and not knowing when it will be, and finally a decree from Yi came from the palace ordering Murong to return to the palace to meet the Empress Dowager.After receiving Yi's decree, Murong Fu breathed a sigh of relief, and the party, which had been postponed for two days, entered the palace under Abi's slightly comforting eyes.

Compared with two years ago, the Empress Dowager, who was in her sixtieth year, looked much older.According to the original historical script, the Empress Dowager was supposed to die of illness in September this year, and then Emperor Zhezong took charge of the government to revive the new party and demote the old party.In order to avoid this situation, Murong Fu has been diligently sending a large amount of supplements and medicines to the Empress Dowager for many years, trying to prolong her life.But even so, Murong Fu has already learned from Zhuge Zhengwo's disclosure that the Empress Dowager has been seriously ill twice in the past few months, and now she is just trying to save her life, and her life expectancy may be about half a year. up.

Murong Fu and the Empress Dowager have been together for many years, whether it is true or not, they have always accumulated a lot of feelings.At this time, seeing the empress dowager's haggard face, even the makeup could not hide it, she couldn't help but feel a little sad, and said sadly: "We haven't seen each other for two years, how come the empress dowager is so thin?"

The Empress Dowager lowered her head and stared at Murong Fu, who was bowing respectfully in front of her, and sighed. "Why isn't Murong Qing like this? Get up!"

"I also ask the Empress Dowager to take good care of the jade body for the Great Song Dynasty!" Murong Fu remonstrated with a serious face, and then got up and smiled. "Weichen brought a lot of red ginseng back to Beijing this time. This ginseng has the effect of greatly tonifying vitality, restoring pulse and strengthening blood, nourishing qi and absorbing blood. The Empress Dowager might as well give it a try."

The Empress Dowager accepted Murong Fu's filial piety, which has long been a habit, and she did not refuse, she just gave him a sideways glance and said slowly: "If this red ginseng really has the effect of changing one's life against the sky, the Ai family will see Murong Qing's You should eat more!"

Murong Fu smiled slightly, but did not answer.Since the heart disease relapsed, he has returned to his life style as an ascetic monk in his previous life, and even invited Xue Muhua to be his personal health care doctor.Now that his ambition is unfulfilled, there may be countless people in this world who want him to die, but he himself is the one who wants to die the least.

"I heard from Ai's family that you entertain all the officials but you don't drink at all?" But the Empress Dowager couldn't feel at ease looking at Murong Fu's weak appearance. "Is the situation really so serious?" Everyone in the Song Dynasty loved wine, and the famous Chinese wines basically appeared in the Song Dynasty.In such a big environment, it is really a miracle that Murong Fu quit drinking.

Murong Fu was silent when he heard the words, and laughed for a long while before saying: "Zhuge Xiaohua sold my minister again, and please ask the Empress Dowager to keep it a secret!" It turned out that due to official etiquette, Murong Fu couldn't say clearly that he couldn't. Drinking is to replace the contents of his glass with fruit juice of the same color.Murong Fu did this in an extremely secretive way, even the officials who participated in the banquet did not notice it.For the empress dowager in the deep palace to know, it must be the credit of the six doors.

But the Empress Dowager's face darkened when she saw Murong Fu evading her own question several times, she slapped the armrest beside her hard, and shouted sharply: "Murong Qing!"

Murong Fu's smile froze, and after a while he whispered: "Life is a matter of life and death, the Empress Dowager doesn't need to worry about such trivial matters."

Although the Empress Dowager was also worried that after her death, the strong and the weak would shake the country, but after all, she got along with Murong Fu for many years and sincerely treated him as her nephew.Hearing Murong Fu talk about her body in such an understatement tone, she was extremely angry, and immediately asked with a raised phoenix eyebrow: "This is also a trivial matter, what is a major matter?"

Murong Fu lowered his head and remained silent for a while, then suddenly said: "The Empress Dowager, please step back." Seeing the Empress Dowager waving her hand to order the maids around her to step back, he landed on one knee and said in a deep voice. "To the Empress Dowager, the most important thing is the country, the country, and the relationship between the monarch and his ministers. I also ask the Empress Dowager to give the ministers ten years to clean up the old and clean up the government. When the world is peaceful and the nations come to court, the humble ministers should also beg for bones. "

The Empress Dowager was silent for a long time before she said quietly: "Murong Qing, you have great ambitions and even more courage!" Murong Fu was the first one who dared to imply in front of her that he would separate the monarch and his subjects if he stayed in court for too long.The empress dowager is familiar with history books, so she naturally knows that the power of the monarch and the power of the ministers have always been in conflict since ancient times.

Murong Fu smiled slightly, and said in a soft voice: "The Empress Dowager's holy candlelight, she understands everything, so why bother to be a villain?"

"...Ten years!" The Empress Dowager sighed softly after pondering for a long time. "If ten years of work can bring peace to the world and bring all nations to court, Murong Qing, your name should be recorded in the history books!"

"Helping the world and leaving a name in history, isn't it the ultimate in being a minister?" Murong Fu also laughed. "This is what every minister wants in his heart. How can a humble minister be exempt from vulgarity?"

Murong Fu is so bright and upright, the Empress Dowager didn't doubt him even more, she just patted his hand and said: "I read your memorial, what happened to Xia Guo's change?"

Murong Fu knew that he was getting to the point, and immediately gave the Empress Dowager a popular lesson on the inside story of the Xia Kingdom, talking about Li Yuanhao's relationship with his daughter-in-law, Li Liangzuo's relationship with his cousin, which greatly satisfied the needs of women. Gossip mentality, and finally said: "Li Qianshun, the young emperor of the Xia Kingdom, is only ten years old, and his mother, the Empress Dowager Xiaoliang, personally governs. The Liang family is originally Han, and to get the support of the Xia Kingdom dignitaries, they must do what those party members wish. , attacked the Song Dynasty, and plundered land and gold and silver for them to enjoy! This year, the Xia Kingdom received assistance from the Liao Kingdom, and fought with our Western Army a few times in the west. Fortunately, Mr. Zhang Yuzhang was in command of Huanqing. The two generals, Zhe Keshi and Zhe Keshi, used their soldiers like gods, so they failed to please Xia Guo. It's just that the humble minister saw that the Empress Dowager Xiaoliang was aggressive, and the people of Xia Guo were already miserable. She wants to solve this urgent problem as soon as possible. The most effective way is still to rob us."

When the Empress Dowager heard that Xia Guo's rebellion against the Song Dynasty was provoked by the Liao Kingdom, she was very annoyed, she just gritted her teeth and said: "How kind are I to the Liao Kingdom and the Xia Kingdom, how dare they be so ungrateful!"

Murong Fu jokingly smiled, and said coldly: "Based on my humble opinion, these alien races don't read poetry and books and don't know etiquette. They are like that beast, they can't remember gratitude but they can remember beatings!"

The Empress Dowager couldn't help but frown slightly when she heard the words. After all, she was a normal woman with a soft heart and fear of blood.And with her current energy, she is indeed incapable of presiding over a war. "If you are good at wielding weapons, it is inevitable that our soldiers will suffer."

Murong Fu had already figured out the Empress Dowager's temper, and immediately echoed: "The Empress Dowager is right! The so-called heaven has the virtue of good life, if I start a war at the court, it will eventually affect the people. I'd better wait until this year's Zhengdan to reprimand Xia. A few words from the envoy of the kingdom, teach them to be vigilant and fearful!"

Murong Fu's suggestion was exactly what the Empress Dowager wanted, she immediately nodded in agreement.She is old and told Murong Fu that it is inevitable that she will be exhausted after a long time, so she supported her forehead and said slowly: "You have been away from Beijing for two years, and the Queen Mother and the officials are also very concerned. Let's go to Longyou Palace and Funing Palace to meet them together Fan, leave the palace as soon as possible!"

"Yes!" Murong Fu saw that the empress dowager was tired, so he bowed and retreated.

In Longyou Palace, Empress Dowager Xiang is having fun with King Jing's youngest son, Zhao Xiaoyuan, perhaps there is a support under her knees, but Empress Dowager Xiang's spirit is much better than previous years.However, when it came to the Empress Dowager's body, she couldn't hide her worry.Empress Dowager Xiang now lives comfortably, all thanks to the empress dowager's praise and care.When the Empress Dowager goes west, her little emperor who doesn't have a deep relationship with her will be in charge, and life may not be so easy.

But Murong Fu was powerless to do anything about the matter in the harem, so he could only comfort the Queen Mother with some kind words.

But he sighed to the Empress Dowager herself for a while, then cheered up and said: "Next year will be the last year of your duty in the matter. When the three-year term expires, have you ever thought about joining a temple?"

To say that Murong Fu's resume in the officialdom is really pretty.After Tanhua was in high school, he was not directly transferred to the local government, but was an auditor in the court for more than half a year, and he really saw the center of power.After that, he successively served as magistrate of Xiping County, storyteller of Chongzheng Palace, and Shizhong. He has dabbled in both local and central areas, and he is familiar with herdsmen's practice and official regulations.Waiting for the three-year exam at the end of the ninth year of Yuanyou, it should have been intended to use his merits to enter the sixth part.Then after a few more years of training, you can become the prime minister.At that time, Murong Fu was only in his forties, young and vigorous, which really raised eyebrows.

However, Murong Fu's whole heart is now on how to use troops against Xia Guo, when did he think about which of the six departments of the three provinces he would enter?Asked this question to the queen mother, he was stunned for a long time, then smiled and said: "To tell the truth from the queen mother, I have never thought about it, I only know to respect the holy will."

Hearing the words, the Empress Dowager just shook her head and said solemnly: "Then you should think about it now! You must also understand that your future is not limited to this, and there are some things that others don't need to think about, but you should think about it." It is different from the Empress Dowager to Murong Fu is both useful and defensive, Empress Dowager Xiang completely transferred her feelings for her daughter, Princess Shushou, to Murong Fu, which is a good way to remind him.

Murong Fu obviously also understood the kindness of the Empress Dowager, he hurriedly got up and thanked: "Thank you Empress Dowager for reminding me, I will definitely remember it in my heart!"

Murong Fu hadn't finished speaking when Zhao Xiaoyuan, who was playing with the court lady and was sweating profusely, ran in.Seeing that he saluted to the Queen Mother, he rushed towards Murong Fu, hugged his leg and called out childishly: "Brother Mingshi!"

Seeing that Zhao Xiaoyuan and Murong Fu had hit it off, Queen Mother couldn't help laughing. "This child has a good memory at such a young age. I haven't seen you in two years, but I still remember Murong Qing."

Before Murong could reply, Zhao Xiaoyuan bit his finger and nodded repeatedly. "The pine nut candy from Akashi's house is delicious!"

Murong Fu broke into a cold sweat immediately, and confronted the Queen Mother's suspicious gaze and explained: "When I entered the palace in the past, I brought candies to Xiaoyuan."

Only then did the Queen Mother nodded, and said in a neutral tone: "You still have to be careful!" Feel free to bring food into the palace to Zhao Xiaoyuan, if nothing happens, it's fine, if something happens, it's a crime of beheading.

"Thank you, Empress Dowager, for your reminder!" Murong Fu hurriedly handed Zhao Xiaoyuan back to the maid, and hurriedly changed the subject. "Xiaoyuan still lives in Jingwang Mansion?"

Speaking of this, the queen mother felt sad again.She and Zhao Xiaoyuan hit it off very well, but the royal family's rules are as strict as mountains, even though she is the empress dowager, she still can't do it if she wants to adopt a child to relieve boredom.

Murong Fu naturally sympathized with the Empress Dowager, he was silent for a long while and still tried to persuade her in a low voice. "Xiaoyuan's status is special, and it's not good for him to live in the harem for a long time. This can't be reversed by manpower, let's just let it happen!"

For a long time, Murong Fu was able to speak in front of the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager, apart from his speaking skills, what was more important was his attitude of always telling the truth.The Empress Dowager is familiar with the rules of the palace, and the maids around her are coaxing her with good words, which does not give her a little relief.On the contrary, it is Murong Fu's big truth that can be recognized by the Queen Mother, and he can't help but look down at Zhao Xiaoyuan and said lovingly: "In the future, when the filial piety wish grows, the Ai family will ask for a county king for him, and it will be considered worthy of him!" Zhao Xiaoyuan This is a concubine, and it is indeed extraordinary to be able to win the prince of the county.

Murong Fu only nodded with a smile when he heard the words, and did not speak.Zhuge Zhengwo has to worry about Zhao Xiaoyuan's future.At least for now, Murong Fu doesn't think it is necessary for him to intervene.

If meeting the Empress Dowager is a matter of business, meeting the Empress Dowager is to connect feelings, both are what Murong Fu is looking forward to.Then, seeing the little emperor was really annoying and tiresome for him.

Ever since the night when he heard about Azhu Daoming's departure, Murong Fu understood his affection for Xiao Feng at the same time, and this world seemed to open another window for Murong Fu, teaching him to instantly understand those things stuck to him. eyes.

Seeing the jealous and possessive look in the little emperor's eyes when he looked at him, Murong Fu couldn't help bowing his head and said inwardly: It seems that there were no maids in the Palace of Funing that night!This is really... really... Fuck!

Not seeing each other for two years, the little emperor has grown a lot taller, and looks like a full-fledged adult.It's just that his temperament became more and more gloomy, and he couldn't hide his joy when he mentioned the physical condition of the Empress Dowager.He can't wait to take power and reap the benefits. Those eyes full of desire and determination to gain power are not the eyes that a wise king should have!

Murong Fu met the little emperor's mischievous gaze, barely resisted the urge to kill, and reported the affairs he had done in the past two years, then hurriedly retreated.

The little emperor did not retain Murong Fu, because he believed that the game between him and Murong Fu was like a spider spinning a web to catch its prey.The longer the wait, the tastier the prey; the harder the struggle, the more interesting the game.And an emperor who can watch his enemies repel his father's cronies and veto his father's achievements in order to be in charge of the government, and wait for a whole ten years, the most important thing is patience!

And Murong Fu has also realized equally clearly: If he still wants to make some achievements after the death of the empress dowager, the little emperor must kick him away!

The author has something to say:

Zhuge: Filial piety, wrong seniority!It should be called "Uncle Akashi"!

Xiaoyuan: No!

Murong: Be good!
