[Comprehensive] Feasibility report on the restoration of the country

In March of the ninth year of Yuanyou, the Empress Dowager became critically ill.On the night of the fifth day of the lunar new year, she woke up from the coma for several days, and knowing that she couldn't afford it, she hurriedly summoned the little emperor Zhao Xu to explain her funeral.

In the back pavilion of the Qingshou Palace, the Empress Dowager was lying on the bedside panting heavily, and hissed, "Grandma, grandma is going to see your grandpa..."

Hearing this, the little emperor hurriedly persuaded: "Grandmother, don't say that, it's just a little sickness, and grandma will recover after a few days of care." He said these words plainly and without emotion, obviously understanding that the Empress Dowager is about to go west , I don’t want to be perfunctory anymore.

The empress dowager has weathered the storm for a long time, and she doesn't know what the little emperor is thinking.She gasped for a while, and said again: "Officials, you have been the emperor for ten years, but these ten years... During these ten years, the real emperor is your grandmother, and you have to listen to your grandmother's orders in everything." Do it, you...you must be very angry in your heart and hate your grandmother very much, don't you?"

The little emperor shook his head, and said with a half-smile: "Grandmother is the emperor for me. It hurts me. I'm afraid I'll be exhausted. The servants are for the grandmother, and the imperial edict is issued by the grandmother. The children are free, so why not?" Okay? How dare you blame grandma?"

The little emperor's sneering words made the empress dowager cough again and again, but this time, the little emperor just watched with cold eyes, and didn't even bother to open his mouth to put on a show of persuasion.

The Empress Dowager coughed for a while before she caught her breath. She stared at the ceiling with her eyes blankly, and said faintly: "You have an extreme and assertive temper. You have hated me in your heart all these years. Don't you know?...It's just grandson, even if you hate me, you can't implicate the people in the world!"

The little emperor sneered, and said slowly: "Let's say everything grandma has to say at once, and in the future..." He couldn't help but stop with a little fear, but the deep meaning in these words was that even a fool would It can be tasted.

The Empress Dowager, who was about to die, did not want to be angry about this small matter, so she seized the last moment and said in a hissed voice: "Officials, it is often said that it is difficult to start a business and it is even more difficult to maintain a business. When your father was in power, he was determined to reform and improve. Okay. It’s just that he was impatient and misused Wang Anshi, and the whole country was in a state of turmoil, which almost caused great changes. I know, you are not convinced when I say this. Once the old man dies, you have to rush to take charge of the government, change the course, and use new laws. But this world Haste makes waste, and things get messed up instead. Do you understand?"

The little emperor's eyes flashed, but he held back and didn't speak.

"Now the court is headed by the Shu Party, and among the Shu Party is Murong Fu who is the most handsome. Fan Chunren is old and is no match for Murong Fu. After I die, you must call Su Shi back and let him be the prime minister. Personally suppress the students. Su Shi is loyal and upright. As long as he is there, your throne will be as stable as Mount Tai. You are still young and have insufficient talents. At this time, you can’t talk about yourself and rush to be in charge of the government. Instead, you should concentrate on learning how to ask politics. You must be magnanimous, and be tolerant of capable ministers and officials who are more capable than yourself. Murong Fu once agreed with the old man that if you spend ten years in clarifying the administration of officials and creating a prosperous world, you will give him ten years to perform. If he can succeed, then Your ability to recognize people; if he makes mistakes, you should learn as well, and just come forward to clean up the mess. Murong Fu's body is weak... Ten years later, ten years later... If he is still alive, he will definitely go to beggars Bones; if he refuses, Su Shi will force him to do so. So, you don’t have to worry about his great achievements. When he retires, you have to promise me to treat him with courtesy. No matter what slander others make, you can’t hold grudges and settle accounts For him. My Emperor Song ruled the world with benevolence and righteousness, and we cannot let the heroes go to hell!" The empress dowager tried her best to speak, and looked closely at the little emperor, hoping that he would nod in agreement.

Unexpectedly, the little emperor was silent for a moment, and only said quietly: "Grandmother wants me to wait another ten years? Ten years?!" Speaking of this, his young face was immediately covered with gloom, and he suddenly pulled out the long sword at his waist He flipped over a chair beside him, suddenly laughed wildly and gritted his teeth. "Do you want me to treat him kindly? Grandma knows that Murong Mingshi... Murong Mingshi! I wish I could eat flesh and skin! I want him to live like death!"

Seeing that the little emperor had such deep malice towards Murong Fu, the Empress Dowager couldn't help trembling violently, she could only stare at this hostile grandson in disbelief, as if staring at a monster.After a while, she supported her body and wanted to sit up, but at this moment she was extremely weak, and it was absolutely impossible to lift her body up an inch or two. In the end, she only used a skinny arm to cling tightly to the little emperor's hand He said: "Officials, why is this? Murong Fu has a friendship with you as a teacher and apprentice, and even saved your sister Huang, have you forgotten all of this?"

However, Princess Shushou passed away many years ago, and she could no longer hold any weight in the little emperor's heart.He broke away from the Empress Dowager, and said with a sneer, "Murong Mingshi has a master-student relationship with me? He is devoted to climbing dragons and phoenixes, and only knows how to flatter his grandmother. Why did he take me seriously? He treats my sister with deep affection. , I will definitely send him to accompany the imperial sister early, so that our sister and brother will be repaid!"

These two words of the little emperor were extremely vicious and vicious, and the empress dowager was so angry that she said sharply: "You are narrow-minded and jealous of talents, how can you be an emperor with such a temperament! You...you..." At this point Suddenly, a huge force was generated in the Empress Dowager's body, she sat up suddenly, and pointed her right finger at the little emperor.

Under the power of the empress dowager, the little emperor staggered back in fright, almost fainting.I saw him pressing the hilt of the sword with his hand, his heart beating wildly and shouting in multiple voices: "Come here! Come here!"

The servants inside and outside the palace rushed into the palace immediately when they heard the emperor shout loudly.

I saw that the little emperor was far away from the empress dowager, he looked at the empress dowager helplessly, and said in a trembling voice: "She...she...you look at her, what's the matter?" Ministers hold power.But as soon as a sick and broken old woman showed her power, he was immediately terrified and at a loss what to do.

A servant walked up a few steps, stared at the Empress Dowager for a moment, and breathed her breath boldly.After a while, the servant's complexion changed suddenly and he knelt down on the ground with a "plop", and said in a mournful voice, "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager is dead!"

As soon as the servant's words fell, all the servants fell to their knees and cried in unison.

Unexpectedly, the little emperor was overjoyed when he heard the words, he laughed loudly and shouted: "Great! Great! I am the emperor, I am finally the emperor!" The Empress Dowager cheered and jumped in front of the corpse.He has actually been the emperor for ten years, but the emperor has been in name only for ten years, and the power is all in the hands of the empress dowager.Until now, he is the real emperor.

All the servants watched in horror as the little emperor jumped up and down and cheered for a while, then one person boldly stepped forward and said: "Officials, the empress dowager has passed away, and an edict needs to be delivered to the world..."

The little emperor returned to normal after being reminded by the servant, nodded his head and said in a deep voice: "Decree, the empress dowager has passed away, ceremonies, music, singing and dancing are prohibited, and the army and civilians wear mourning!"

The news that Lord Yelu Hongji of the Liao Dynasty appointed Yelu Yixin, the king of the Northern Academy, as the Great General of Pingnan, and led [-] troops to attack the Hejian Mansion of the Great Song Dynasty, did not reach Murong Fu until March.

Chong Shidao read the letter from Feige delivered by Murong Fu, and immediately wondered: "The kingdom of Xia was discovered by your secret agents, why did the news from Khitan come so late?" It was three days ago, and counting the time when Feige sent the letter, the spies lurking in the Liao Kingdom learned the news not much earlier than the people of the Liao Kingdom.

Murong Fu scanned the second Feige letter, and said slowly: "The seeds are only planted, and it will take time to germinate and grow. Now that the Xia Kingdom is still alive, you have not eaten the meat in this bowl, so you are thinking about it." Is there any meat in the pot?"

Teacher Zhong couldn't help but chuckled when he heard the words, and said confidently: "To fight the world, one should eat from the bowl and look into the pot, didn't you say so?" After a pause, he said seriously again. "The news about going to Beijing is just a few days late. Is there any news from the Wanyan Department?"

Murong Fu nodded, and replied: "The news of going to Beijing has been sent to Bao Budong at the same time. He will find an opportunity to inform the Wanyan Department. Now the Wanyan Department has [-] guns, [-] bullets, and more The Great Song Dynasty granted him the imperial decree of the Ping Liao Jiedu envoy, and he will never let this opportunity pass by."

Speaking of this imperial decree, Zhong Shidao couldn't help laughing, coughed twice and said in a firm voice: "You can talk about this 'imperial decree' in front of me, but I dare not repeat the old story with Mr. Zhang , be careful that the old man cuts people with a knife!"

Murong Fu couldn't help shaking his head when he heard the words, and sighed: "I don't know how much older Mr. Zhang is than Wanyan Aguda, but his face is not as thick as the younger generation, what should we do?" Fearing that his momentum would not be enough to make people look down upon him, he insisted Zhang Chou, who was over [-] years old, to appear in person and read the false imperial edict to Wanyan Aguda.Although Zhang Yi said that he followed Bao Dong's intentions for the sake of the overall situation, he still refused to mention it as a matter of hatred.

Hearing what Murong Fu said, Zhong Shidao couldn't help feeling suffocated.After a while, he tentatively asked: "Murong, what do you mean by that?"

"Do you think that Wanyan Aguda really doesn't know that this edict is false?" Murong Fu sneered, "Although the Wanyan tribe only has tens of thousands of people, the combined population of the twelve Jurchen tribes is always 50 million. With such a huge population base, how could the Jurchens be willing to be slaves to the Khitans again? Wanyan Aguda just seized an opportunity at the most appropriate time. As long as he can win this battle, the Khitans Grab a piece of meat from your mouth, even if this imperial decree was false at the beginning, it can become true in the end!"

Only then did Zhong Shidao suddenly realize, he just patted his forehead and said to himself: "No wonder he doesn't want to be the commander of the fifth rank, but must be the Jiedu envoy of the second rank! I really thought he was barbaric and vulgar, and he didn't know etiquette."

Murong Fu chuckled lightly, and said calmly: "It's been a long time since I hoped that this fierce tiger of Khitan will grow old. I don't want to raise another wolf myself at this time! This Aguda must die, and Wanyanbu must also be exterminated. !"

This time, Zhong Shidao didn't talk to him.He recalled that a few months ago, Wanyan Aguda came to Gyeongju to undertake the "imperial decree", and asked him about the whereabouts of "Brother Su" in a roundabout way, and he couldn't help sighing.After a long time, the other side turned his mouth jerky and said: "Yelu Yixin is the king of the North Court, why is he leading the army? Where is Xiao Feng?"

Murong Fu didn't speak, but just passed the second Feige letter he had seen to Zhong Shidao.This second biography of Fei Ge recorded the whole story of Xiao Feng offending Lord Liao and being imprisoned in the East Palace.

After reading this letter from Feige, Zhong Shidao just sighed for a long time. "Brother Xiao's status is embarrassing, why bother wading in this muddy water? It's not good for both sides!"

Murong Fu nodded, and said regretfully: "Yelu Yixin's method is still too bad, if I do it, Xiao Feng should be killed by now!"

When Zhong Shidao heard Murong Fu's words, his eyebrows twitched wildly.The biography of Feige clearly stated that Yelu Yixin slandered and framed Xiao Feng several times after Xiao Feng fell out of his official uniform and fell out with the Lord of Liao. Not only did Yelu Hongji beat Xiao Feng a hundred times in anger Stick, and won the seal of "Pingnan General" for himself, and temporarily controlled the Nanyuan Palace.If such a complete victory is still "too poor in means", Zhong Shidao really doesn't know what "smart means" in Murong Fu's mind is.Thinking of this, he couldn't help but said: "Brother Xiao has done a great job in saving you after all, if Yelu Yixin encourages Lord Liao to kill Brother Xiao, wouldn't it teach the world that Lord Liao is ungrateful?"

"Just release the news that Xiao Feng is making trouble in the palace, and add a few more words, killing Xiao Feng is as easy as flipping the palm of your hand!" Murong Fu said casually.

"What are you talking about?" Master Zhong asked hurriedly.

"Your Majesty paid the King of the Southern Court for the merits of rescuing the family. How could it be more important? Today, His Majesty punished a minister who resisted the decree. It is the King of the Southern Court who owes His Majesty, and it is not His Majesty who is responsible for the King of the Southern Court!" Murong Fu raised his head and stared. Zhong Shidao said word by word, "Is it enough?"

Zhong Shidao choked immediately, with layers of cold sweat on his forehead, he murmured for a long time: "...enough...enough...enough!"Such a theory of punishing one's heart is more than enough to punish Xiaofeng's nine clans!Zhong Shidao stunned the calm-looking Murong Fu in panic for a while, then suddenly said: "Brother Mingshi, you and I have known each other for several years, my younger brother has never offended you, right?"

Murong Fu immediately raised his head and glared at Zhong Shidao when he heard the words, he hehe smiled, his eyes were full of contempt.

Zhong Shidao didn't get angry, he just wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and said in embarrassment: "That's good! That's good!" After confirming his own safety, he couldn't help worrying about Xiao Feng's safety. "Brother Xiao has been placed under house arrest, and his ass has blossomed after being beaten with a hundred sticks. Murong, are you just making sarcastic remarks here?"

Murong Fu raised his head and said in surprise: "You mean, you want me to help Yelu Yixin?"

As soon as Murong Fu said this, Zhong Shidao was startled again.In the next moment, he casually slapped himself on the mouth, and finally said: "There is an order from the scriptures, March [-]th to benefit the West, and it is advisable to send troops!" After saying that, he turned his head and left.

The author has something to say:

Murong: What do you mean, you want me to help Yelv Yixin?

Xiao Feng: Brother Zhong, don't pick up any pots that are not open!
