The Zhengdan Dynasty in the ninth year of Yuanyou was originally no different from previous years.Civil and military officials from the Manchu Dynasty and envoys from all over the world gathered in the Daqing Hall to wish the young emperor and empress dowager a happy new year and a long life.However, in this year, during the Renzong Dynasty, Xia Guo, who was a monarch and minister with the Great Song Dynasty, did not send envoys to congratulate their monarch.

The empress dowager and the little emperor had the same expression on their faces, but at this moment, a loud shout came from outside the Daqing hall: "Report! Hurry up at [-] miles! Urgent military situation on Huanqing Road!"

Everyone in the hall looked at the reputation at the same time, and after a while, they saw a dusty soldier rushing away holding a memorial, panting: "Report! On October [-]th, Yuanyou eight years, Xia Jun attacked me for no reason. At the boundary of Lanzhou in the Song Dynasty, Zhang Wei, the appeasement envoy of Huanqing Road, has ordered the Zhenrong army Zhe Keshi to launch a counterattack.

The hall was full of uproar!

Before the discussions among the ministers could be heard, Fan Chunren, the Prime Minister of the Left, stepped forward and bowed to the two saints, and said: "Report to the officials and the Empress Dowager, Lanzhou's military disaster is of great importance, and I request you to immediately order all the officials in the Political Affairs Hall to discuss and deal with it." !" Fan Chunren's memorandum is really an old-fashioned plan for the country, and in one sentence, most of the courtiers and envoys of various countries were excluded, and the possibility of leaking secrets was eliminated to the greatest extent.

The empress dowager and the little emperor obviously understood this truth, and they replied almost at the same time: "Good!"

Xuan Zhi's inner servant standing under the jade steps immediately shouted in his standard eunuch voice: "Back the imperial court!"

As soon as Xuanzhi's minister's voice fell, the officials in the hall and the envoys from various countries dispersed one after another. The only ones who still stood in the hall were Fan Chunren from the left, Su Zhe from the right, Hu Zongyu, the prime minister of the Shangshu, and Shangguan, the prime minister of the Shangshu. Jun, six ministers and Zhi Zhi Gao Qin Guan.

However, as soon as the crowded Daqing Hall became empty, Su Zhe, the prime minister on the right, also stepped forward and said, "Reporting to the officials and the Empress Dowager, the place where Murong Fu was ordered to patrol during the incident, and now there is no one in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty." He is more familiar with the situation on Huanqing Road than him, so please call Murong Fu for details."

"Yes!" The Empress Dowager recalled that Murong Fu had mentioned Xia Guo's changes to her not long ago, and immediately ordered her servants. "Quickly summon Murong Qing to the Chui Gong Hall to meet you." After finishing speaking, she took the little emperor and the officials from the Political Affairs Hall to the Chui Gong Hall first.

Not long after, the Empress Dowager, the little emperor and the ministers sat down in the Chuigong Hall and began to circulate Zhang Yi's memorial.

When the memorial was delivered to Shangguan Jun, Murong Fu arrived in a hurry, accompanied by Xuan Zhi's servant.Seeing that he gave the gift neatly, he immediately said: "Report to the officials and the Empress Dowager, I request the Ministry of Rites to closely monitor the envoys of various countries in the near future, so as not to let them spread news privately and respond to Xia Guo!"

"Master Murong's words are very true! Very true!" Before the Empress Dowager spoke to the little emperor, the Minister of Rites couldn't help but echoed.

Murong Fu said that there must be one, and the most glorious one is naturally the Empress Dowager.She immediately clapped her hands and smiled and said, "Don't be chaotic in times of danger, and act after making a plan, this is what a minister should be like!"

The Empress Dowager praised him so much, but Murong Fu still had a calm expression on his face, he just bowed and said: "The Empress Dowager is ridiculously praised!"

The Empress Dowager did not greet Murong Fu politely, and continued: "Murong Qing, you must be well aware of why you were summoned here. You may as well speak up as much as you know about the situation on Huanqing Road."

"Yes!" Murong Fu immediately bowed his hands, and told the empress dowager about the conflict between Huanqing Road and Xia Kingdom to the officials of the Zhengshi Hall, and finally said. "I thought that it was expected that the Xia Kingdom would attack Lanzhou this time. The battle in winter caused great damage, which is a taboo for military strategists. It can be seen that the interior of the Xia Kingdom is extremely empty, and we have to plunder our court. Supplement. Since I am strong and weak, there is no need to worry too much about this battle. Of course, the details will depend on Master Zhang's report."

As soon as Murong Fu's words fell, Fan Chunren stood up and echoed: "The old minister agrees with Murong Qing's words! Zhang Zhifu is a man who knows how to fight, and Zi Zheng and Zhe Zunzheng are also brave and good at fighting. With these three people, the official and the empress The empress dowager can rest assured."

After Fan Chunren finished speaking, all the ministers behind him also stood up together and said in unison: "The ministers seconded the proposal!"

With the convincing words of comfort from the officials of the Political Affairs Hall, the Empress Dowager calmed down her fear, and said angrily: "Since the Qingli Peace Conference, our Great Song Dynasty has rewarded Xia Guo endlessly, but they are greedy and ungrateful. It is really hateful." !"

The so-called monarch worries about the humiliation of ministers. Seeing that the Empress Dowager was angered by Xia Guo's shamelessness, the ministers cursed Xia Guolai again with the same like-mindedness.

Taking advantage of this rubbish time, Murong Fu seized the opportunity to read Zhang Li's memorial carefully.Thirty years of ups and downs in Zhang Yi's official career, the skill of writing memorials is even better than Murong Fu's.In the memorial, Zhang Wei said that Xia Guo's invasion was extremely dangerous, but this danger was already a trapped beast, and it was only a matter of time before the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty defeated Xia Guo.Whether it is necessary to fight back after the victory is the real reason why Zhang Wei asked the court for instructions.

When the two countries fight, it is like two hooligans fighting.Now it was Xixia, the little rascal, who provoked first. Since Da Song won Xixia by virtue of his size, it seemed that there was no reason not to fight back and teach Xixia to be a man.However, the problem here is that the empress dowager still remembers the disastrous defeat of the five-way expedition against Xia during the Yuanfeng period.At the same time, Dang Xiang was brave by nature, and he was afraid that once Da Song bullied them hard, they would fight to the death.Xia Guo is a broken rock and doesn't care about losses; but Da Song happens to be that peerless jade, so he is really tied up.

The Empress Dowager and the officials of the Zhengshi Hall cursed for a while, then thought of this question, and couldn't help but sigh at the same time.This time, without waiting for any whimsical suggestions from the bigwigs, Murong Fu put together the memorial and said in a loud voice: "Reporting to the officials and the Empress Dowager, the current situation is that my Great Song Dynasty has the upper hand. My minister I thought that since it was Xia who made the first provocation, we must teach them a lesson, so as not to make the feudal vassals despise our court, and there will be endless troubles in the future if they follow suit!"

The speed of information dissemination in ancient times is really frustrating. Although "Peach Blossom Spring" is fake, some rural people don't know that the dynasty has changed outside, but it is normal.In this case, there was some friction between Song Xibian and Xia Guo, and it was easy to cover up the past in front of the foreign vassals.But it happened that Zhang Yu's memorial was delivered on the day of Zhengdan Dynasty.The Ministry of Rites can monitor the foreign envoys, but it is impossible to detain them in the Song Dynasty forever. In other words, this time the war in Daliao, Tubo, and Dali in the west will soon be known.They will naturally pay close attention to the development of the matter, and weigh the reality of Da Song from it.

As soon as Murong Fu said this, the officials in the Political Affairs Hall sighed deeply again.I could only hear Murong Fu saying again: "The face of ordinary people may not be as real as the food in their hands. But as far as a country is concerned, if the state is not preserved, the country will not be able to survive. This time Xia Guo refused to send The envoys congratulated our dynasty and sent troops to harass our country. It is really unfaithful and unfilial! Please patrol Huanqing Road, understand the situation of the war and act cheaply. When Master Zhang defeats Xia’s army, immediately send an envoy to Xia Guo to denounce his wrongdoing, and order Xia Guo’s lord to plead guilty !"

When the officials of the Political Affairs Hall heard that Murong Fu had invited him to be an envoy to the Kingdom of Xia, they couldn't help sitting up in surprise at the same time.Although there was a rule in ancient times that the two countries would fight each other and not kill each other, if Murong Fu really showed his heroism and scolded the Emperor Xia for being unfaithful and unfilial, the Emperor Xia would behead him in a fit of anger, and the Empress Dowager would No matter how much you rely on him, it will be beyond your reach.

The Empress Dowager obviously also understood this truth, she saw her lowered her head and stared at Murong Fu who was kneeling at the steps with a serious face for a while, then said slowly after a long time: "It is very dangerous to go on an envoy to Xia Guo, can Murong Qing be sure?"

Murong Fu immediately raised his eyebrows and smiled when he heard the words, and said in a deep voice: "I also know some rough fists and kicks, if there is an accident, it is enough to protect myself, the Empress Dowager don't have to worry. I think this action is inevitable. There are conflicts in our dynasty, but there has never been a situation where Xia Guo did not send envoys. This matter is no small matter, and only a humble minister can understand his intentions if he goes to see the Lord of Xia in person. If he is not deceived by a traitor, But if you are determined to sever justice with me, then there will be a big battle. We can only control the situation as soon as possible so that we will not be caught off guard in the future."

Murong Fu spoke so clearly that everyone in the hall couldn't help but nodded at the same time.Su Zhe stepped forward and said, "To the officials and the Empress Dowager, what Murong Qing said is reasonable, let him go for a while!"

The Empress Dowager sighed lightly, but before she could answer, the little emperor said at this moment: "It is enough to send an envoy to the Xia Kingdom, you only need a sixth-rank official, and there is no need for Murong Qing to act like a stone." The little emperor knew Murong Fu's ability, He knows very well that once he succeeds in his mission, he will be promoted to another level when he returns.This is obviously not what he wants to see.

"My humble servant thanked the officials for their sympathy. But if the Lord of the Xia Kingdom really had his heart turned against him, he would dare to behead a sixth-rank official, but he might not dare to behead a fourth-rank official." Speaking of this, Murong Fu suddenly smiled jokingly, and turned his gaze to Fan Chunren. "Of course, if Xiang Fan is going to go on an envoy, the Lord of the Xia Kingdom must have invited Xiang Fan in respectfully, and must have sent Xiang Xiang back respectfully. It's just that Xiang Fan is a high-ranking official, and he is involved in government affairs. This is a trivial matter. Let Wei Chen go for a while!"

Murong Fu's two witty words made everyone in the palace burst into laughter, even the Empress Dowager couldn't help laughing.After laughing for a while, she flicked her sleeves and said to Qin Guan: "Qin Qing's family, draw up an order!"

Since the empress dowager spoke, the little emperor stopped talking, and only said viciously in his heart: It is best to go on an envoy as long as possible, and it is best not to come back forever!

Only three days later, Murong Fu successfully obtained the imperial decree ordering him to patrol Huanqing Road and act cheaply.After Murong Fu went to the palace to thank him as usual, he went back to Murong Mansion to pack up.At that time, Su Zhe and the three scholars of Sumen were already waiting in the hall.

Seeing Murong Fu's return, Qin Guan stepped forward first, took his hand and said sincerely: "Take care all the way!" Qin Guan didn't know what was going on, and thought that Murong's return made Xia Guo a narrow escape.He was both anxious and reluctant, and couldn't help the tears rolling down his face, and said while crying. "You are on a mission this time, I have a poem to send you..."

Murong Fu was a little moved when he saw Qin Guan's teary eyes, but when he heard that he was going to write a poem, his face immediately changed, and he quickly raised his hand and said decisively: "No need! Brother Qin's excellent work should be saved in the brothel to coax girls !"

Qin Guan managed to escape being blocked by Murong Fu, only to see him staring at Murong Fu for a long time before muttering in a low voice: "You idiot! No wonder Miss Shishi would rather follow a merchant than you!"

Murong Fu couldn't help laughing when he heard the words, and retorted without thinking. "I don't see her following you?" Before Qin Guan could quarrel with him again, he said seriously again. "Senior Brother Qin, I think the Empress Dowager's complexion is getting worse and worse, I'm afraid..."

Qin Guan is still serving as the dispatcher of Zhi Zhi Gao, and often walks in the palace to draw up imperial edicts and edicts for the officials and the Empress Dowager.He has been in contact with the Empress Dowager a lot, so he has already noticed that the Empress Dowager's energy is not as good as before.Hearing Murong Fu mention this matter at this time, he couldn't help sighing quietly, and said slowly: "The Empress Dowager knows people well and is good at responsibility, she is actually Yao and Shun among women. It's a pity, there are no holidays!"

"Once the empress dowager dies, the officials will be in charge. The officials will lean towards the new party, and Senior Brother Qin knows that..." Murong Fu said in a deep voice.

This time, before Murong Fu finished speaking, Qin Guan laughed and said: "Mingshi, although I am not a historian, I know what Donghubi is. If the officials want me to draw up a decree, I only know how to follow the law. OK!"

Murong Fu looked at Qin Guan for a long time, and finally showed a hearty smile. "good!"

Su Zhe and others heard the conversation between Murong Fu and Qin Guan, but they could only smile wryly.If they hadn't experienced the party struggle with the Shuodang, they might still naively think that the official Shengming was a traitor to deceive Shengcong.But now, Huang Tingjian, the last backbone of the Shu Party who was so persistent, is still digging with Su Shi in Hangzhou!Once the Empress Dowager dies, the biggest backer of the Shu Party will fall.The treacherous clouds and waves they will face in the future will be more dangerous than when Shuo Dang was in power.Just because this time, their opponent is the official!

A few people were contemplating, Murong Fu had already walked in front of them, and said solemnly: "I will leave the matter of the capital to my uncle and a few senior brothers. For half a year, as long as everything remains the same within half a year, we will not will lose!"

Su Zhe vaguely heard Murong Fu mention that Xia Guo was the key, but Chao Buzhi and Zhang Lei were as ignorant as Qin Guan.But out of trust in Murong Fu, everyone still said in unison: "You can go on a mission with peace of mind, the political situation in the capital has us!"

"Thank you!" Murong Fu clasped his fists together to thank him, saying every word. "Nowadays, the world is in turmoil and the court situation is changing. Only Gou Li can save the life and death of the country. How can we avoid it because of misfortune and good fortune! Let's encourage each other!"

The author has something to say:

Qin Guan: No wonder Miss Shi Shi would rather follow a merchant than you!

Murong: Didn't you see that she followed you?

Teacher: Hehe!A scumbag, a gay man!My old lady just follows the dog, and I don't follow you!
