In the middle of the night, Murong Fu just returned to his mansion in the capital.On this day, he set out from outside the city at Yinshi. He first served as a stake in the Taimiao for a few hours, then performed a good show in the Daqing Hall, and finally knelt for a long time outside the Funing Hall. exhausted.

Seeing that Murong's complexion changed from exhaustion, Abi hurriedly ordered the servants to prepare hot water.After he washed and changed his clothes, and reluctantly ate a few mouthfuls of food, time was slowly approaching Chou Shi.Seeing that Murong used very little food, Abi was already worried, but she was also worried that he would eat too much food and did not dare to persuade him.As soon as he saw him put down his chopsticks, he hurriedly urged: "My lord, let's arrange it earlier, tomorrow..."

Murong Fu only shook his head slightly when he heard the words, and saw him stunned for a while before saying: "The situation of the official family is not good, tomorrow... probably won't be early." Murong Fu watched coldly, Zhao Xu was indeed scared to death today guts.He believed that with Zhao Xu's determination, he would definitely miss work tomorrow morning.

Abi didn't care what Zhao Xu's situation was, when she heard Murong Fu said that he didn't have to go to court tomorrow, she was already overjoyed. "My lord has been tired for several days, it's time to take a good rest!" Seeing that Murong Fu was about to reach for the teacup, she hurriedly got up and took away the tea set from the table. "It's already so late, my lord, don't drink tea! Take a rest and go to bed early!"

Seeing Abi's housekeeper's attitude, Murong Fu had no choice but to answer honestly: "I'll sit down for a while and go to rest." Right now he is overtired, he still can't fall asleep for a while. "I'm not in the capital this year, is there any news from the capital?"

Abi couldn't help thinking for a moment when she heard the words, and said in a low voice: "It's important, Abi has already passed the letter to the young master; it's not important... Lord Zhuge found two Zhennan kings one after another, but in the end they both found the wrong one. Does it count if you kill someone?"

Murong Fu laughed "puchi" immediately, and said repeatedly: "Forget it! Forget it!" Zhuge Zhengwo controls the six doors, how could he find the wrong person?It seems that playing with Duan Yu is having fun.Although Baoding Emperor Duan Zhengming had no intention of playing tricks, he was a man with a wink.Now that Great Song Ping has shown his extraordinary strength in destroying Xia Kingdom, he must be even less excited, and he should pass on the position of Duan Yu soon.As long as Duan Yu ascends the throne, Duan Zhengchun, a pawn that has been held up for several years, can come in handy.

Murong Fu was engrossed in thought, but Abi was not happy, she hastily tugged on Murong Fu's sleeve and said: "My lord, don't worry about official duties anymore, you should arrange it earlier!"

When Murong Fu saw Abi looking at him worriedly, his heart felt warm.Just seeing Abi's obedient and attached appearance, he couldn't help but think of Azhu again.He suddenly let out a long sigh, held Abi's hands and said slowly: "Abi, you grew up with Azhu since you were young, and you are like sisters. Now...she has been married for two years, you really don't know her at all. Don't you want to know what's going on with her?"

This topic is obviously not the first time Murong Fu discussed it with Abi.But Abi's attitude was as firm as ever, and she replied with a cold face: "My relationship with Azhu is over, why should you mention her again?" After a pause, she added another sentence in anger. . "If she's doing well, then that's fine; if she's not doing well, then it's her fault..."

"Abi, A'Zhu is dead!" Before Abi could finish her unfeeling words, Murong Fu interrupted her first.The deceased is dead, and Abi's words can't hurt Azhu in the slightest. In the end, Abi can only feel sad and regret.

"...What?" Abi was taken aback suddenly, tears filled her eyes instantly. "My lord, who are you talking about...who is dead?"

Murong Fu looked at Abi silently, his eyes were full of tenderness and pity. "Abi, Azhu is dead... The Jurchen tribe rebelled, and Xiao Feng was ordered to suppress it. In the battle of Huanglong Mansion, Azhu blocked Xiao Feng's cold shot...Azhu died..."

Abi looked at Murong Fu incredulously, and didn't say a word for a long time.After a while, Xu Shi realized that she could no longer hold back her tears, so she turned her head abruptly.

Looking at Abi who tried her best to hold back her crying, Murong Fu couldn't help but sigh deeply.He reached out and stroked Abi's hair, and said softly: "It's okay, Abi, everything has your son, it's okay..."

With just this one sentence, Abi burst into tears instantly, she fell on Murong Fu's knee and burst into tears.

Murong Fu didn't speak any more, only gently stroking Abi's hair.

I don't know how long it took, Abifang gradually stopped crying, and said with sobs: "Ah Zhu... Sister Ah Zhu stole Uncle Xiao, and caused the young master to be poisoned... In my heart, I hate her to death Yes!...But...but, my lord, why am I still so sad?"

Mentioning Xiao Feng, Murong Fu immediately felt in a trance.He was silent for a while before he said resolutely: "Abi, don't mention the past again. Azhu is dead, no matter what role she played in Azi's poisoning, the young master has forgiven her." Her. So, you don't have to bear any more grudges... There is no need to mention anything else. "

When Abi heard Murong Fu say "forgive", her heart was already sour.But when she heard the last sentence, she was even more shocked, and hurriedly raised her head to look at Murong Fu. "My lord, what do you mean by that?"

Murong Fu was silent for a while, then slowly said: "My lord still has a lot of important things to do, I don't have time and energy to care about irrelevant people and things."

Murong Fu said these words as if he had decided to get rid of the hopeless feelings, but Abi was not only unhappy when he heard it, tears welled up even more urgently. "...How could this happen?...My lord, how could it be?"

"Silly girl, why are you crying?" Murong Fu hilariously pulled out a silk handkerchief to wipe away Abi's tears. "Ten years...Young Master has thought about it. As long as it takes ten years, Young Master will be able to fulfill his wish. At that time, Young Master will take Abi and leave Da Song. Beyond the sea, there are vast worlds and different customs. Favor. In our lifetime, we should go and have a look..."

"It's not like this! It's not like this!" Abi was not dazzled by the big cake Murong Fu drew for her, but just held onto Murong Fu's palm tightly and couldn't stop sobbing. "Young master abandoned the master and wife, killed Gongyeqian, fulfilled sister Azhu, and now you have to let go of Uncle Xiao... This is wrong, young master, this is wrong... One cannot live only with business, there is always Other things. You can't...you can't have nothing to worry about! You can't live in such a cold! Young Master!"

"Other concerns? Feelings?" Murong Fu couldn't help but smile when he heard the words, "Could it be that in Abi's eyes, the young master's popularity is really that bad?"

"But Uncle Xiao is different!" Abi said firmly. "He's different from everyone else! Young Master, you know better than anyone else!"

"Love..." Murong Fu replied calmly, "It's not worthless, and of course it won't be as heavy as Mount Tai. Abi, my son only knows that the world is fair, and if you want to succeed, you have to set your goals and make unremitting efforts. My son The task that the Lord has to undertake now is really too heavy, and I really can no longer distract him.... At that time, I always said that I was naive, but I was also naive, thinking that the world can be both. The truth is, When I carry this burden on my body, I should take off my heart! Fortunately, it is not too late to repent."

Murong Fu's voice was very calm, it was obvious that he had thought about this decision a long time ago and it was not a sudden impulse.Abi knows more about Murong Fu's ambitions, the river is clean and the sea is peaceful, the world is peaceful, and even the expansion of the frontier and the land will last forever.This kind of ambition is far more ambitious and admirable than seeking to usurp the throne.But she still couldn't help crying. "Master, how can you bear it?"

"Why can't you bear it?" Murong Fu's expression was indifferent.Thinking of his two lives as a human being, the choice between country and beauty, even if he is given [-] chances, he will only unswervingly choose the former.But if you get what you want, you will lose what you want. Now that you have made up your mind, why do you have to die or live?

"If sister A'Zhu is not dead..." Abi couldn't help sobbing as she looked at Murong Fu's cold face.

"What's the difference?" Murong Fu asked indifferently.

Abi choked immediately.Yes, there is no difference.The young master is arrogant and arrogant, since Uncle Xiao chose Sister Azhu, then the young master will never express his feelings.So maybe it's better to just forget about it?Abi was a little dazed and uneasy, she didn't know what would happen in the future.Maybe, someone else will make the young master happy again; maybe, the young master will never waste time on love again.She only knew that in the past ten years, the young master and Uncle Xiao drank and competed, swam with their arms together, talked and laughed happily, and served the country and the people. All the good things have finally passed.

Compared with the emotional difficulties, Murong Fu had no choice but to cut his love with a sword.In government affairs, he has obviously always been at ease.But this time, Murong Fu finally looked up to Zhao Xu again.It's because Zhao Xu didn't say he was ill for a day, but he didn't go to court for three whole days.It turns out that Zhao Xu has been weak since he was a child, and he is prone to get sick in winter.In addition, Zhengdan's hysterical attack had consumed a lot of energy, and that night he had a fever, and he had been burning for three days in a daze, but he confirmed his previous claim of illness.As the lord of a country, he was away from court for three days due to illness, which not only greatly aroused the suspicion and fear of the government and the public, but also made Murong Fu despise him even more.

On the evening of the fourth day, the Right Prime Minister Su Zhe, who had been guarding the palace for three days, was finally released.Back at his mansion, seeing a group of members of the Shu Party sitting around waiting for news from the palace, Su Zheren couldn't help asking, "Ming Shi, the sudden hysteria in the official family has anything to do with you?"

Murong Fu shook his head innocently. "The officials are afraid of the Shu party and hate me for stealing his achievements. That day I clearly advised him not to look at the head, but he just wanted to get angry with me..."

Before Murong Fu finished speaking, everyone in the hall sighed in unison.

Even Su Zhe, who has always been cautious and generous, sighed: "These days the officials are sleeping and waking up, but whenever they wake up they always shout that Akashi hurt him..." Thinking back to the past few days of appeasing the officials and the empress dowager, Su Zhe immediately A look of unbearable looking back.In his opinion, although the official family is the most respected, their courage is not as good as that of the queen mother and empress, which is really disappointing.

Murong Fu immediately twitched the corner of his mouth pretending to be helpless when he heard the words.What Zhao Xu said was indeed the truth, it's just that a dead man opened his eyes, which is really unbelievable.Zhao Xu himself was frightened again, and made many crazy actions.At this time, who can trust him?

Everyone sighed for a while, and Hu Zongyu said sternly: "The officials have not been courted for three days, but the rewards for the soldiers of the Western Army cannot be delayed any longer!"

Speaking of this, Su Zhe sighed again.What a great achievement it is to destroy the Xia Kingdom and open up the territory?However, the imperial court has not granted a reward so far, it is simply unprecedented!If it drags on any longer, it will not only lose the face of the official family alone, I am afraid that the whole world will be restless and accuse the royal family of being ungrateful.Su Zhe looked around the hall for a week, and said bluntly, "Mingshi, since you're back, why don't you have an idea?"

Murong Fu just smiled lightly. "I'm afraid that if I speak out my ideas, everyone will think I'm treasonous."

Even Murong Fu also said "rebellion", presumably his idea is very "rebellion".Everyone in the hall was silent when they heard the words, only Qin Guan was not afraid of death, and asked without hesitation, "What's your idea?"

Murong Fu looked at the crowd and spit out four words unhurriedly. "The Queen Mother hangs the curtain!"

"No! Absolutely not!" Su Zhe really couldn't accept it, and immediately raised his voice to object. "The official family has reached the age of [-]. If you still can't take charge of the government, this... this... is simply unreasonable!"

Murong Fu was already prepared, and replied earnestly: "It is an extraordinary time to do extraordinary things. It is not a solution for the officials to go crazy day and night like this. Uncle, don't forget, not only the Western Army has not yet awarded rewards, but also foreign vassals from all over the world. We are also waiting to see how the court will deal with it.”

Thinking that many foreign feudal vassals would notice the official disrespect that day in Zhengdan, Su Zhe had a splitting headache.

"The situation is urgent now, why don't you ask the Queen Mother to handle the important government affairs first. Wait for the officials to be well, and then return to the government!" When Murong Fu said this, he couldn't help but slightly frowned, as if thinking of some great event Hesitantly. "But there is one thing... Uncle, look at the hysteria of the officials... Is it serious or not?"

Hysteria, in modern Chinese, can be simply translated as: intermittent psychosis.An official suffering from intermittent mental illness may go crazy at any time. He doesn't know what he has done, how can he govern the country?After being reminded by Murong Fu's words, everyone in the hall was obviously aware of this, and at the same time they felt trembling.For a while, the names of Shang Zhou, Sima Zhong, Gao Yang, Gao Wei and other neurotic tyrants who have gone down in history kept dancing in everyone's minds.

Su Zhe's face turned blue for a while, but he still tried his best to maintain his composure, and said repeatedly: "No! Absolutely not! The officials are just... just a little frightened..."

Murong Fu let out a long sigh, and said with a serious expression: "I hope so..."

Su Zhe was dripping with cold sweat from Murong Fu's sigh, and hurriedly said: "I will go to the palace again tomorrow to see the Queen Mother. The official's illness must be carefully diagnosed and treated!" Su Zhe finally couldn't help sighing in a low voice for being an honest guy who lacked ingenuity. "I don't know when brother will be able to return to Beijing?"

It was the first time Murong Fu heard the news that Su Shi was going back to Beijing. He sat up straight and said in surprise, "Teacher wants to go back to Beijing? Is it an imperial edict?" Su Shi is now the prefect of Hangzhou. Man, if the imperial court orders him to come back, his position in the Shu Party can only be arranged by phase.But it is clear that Zhao Xu's favorite leftist is Zhang Dun, the leader of the new party. If so, he will definitely not call Su Shi back to Beijing.

Speaking of Su Shi's news, everyone in the hall was a little embarrassed.They didn't want to answer, so they all turned their eyes to Su Zhe, who was slipping.

Su Zhe was also silent for a while, until he could no longer face Murong Fu's sharp eyes, and then he explained sadly: "Brother returned to Beijing, it was his own idea. Before the Western Army went to Beijing, he asked me to deliver a piece of paper for him. Send a private letter to the officials. Afterwards, the officials issued an edict." Su Shi was once a scholar in the Imperial Academy, and was Zhao Xu's serious teacher.It is not unreasonable for the teacher to write a letter to the student.

However, Murong Fu's expression became even more strange when he heard the news, he pondered for a moment and said, "Why didn't I know about this matter from the beginning to the end? When will the teacher come back?"

When Murong Fu asked this question, Su Zhe was even more embarrassed, and after a long silence, he replied in a low voice: "It's your teacher's intention not to tell you about this... because the government also issued an order a few days ago, So my brother still has two to three days to go before arriving in Bianjing."

Su Shi suddenly wrote a private letter to Zhao Xu requesting to return to Beijing, and insisted on keeping it from himself.This move was so unconstrained that Murong Fu looked at the crowd for a long while in bewilderment, but could not come up with an answer.Seeing everyone's dodging eyes, he only knew that he had to quicken his pace even more in regards to conferring rewards!

The author has something to say:

Murong: Teacher, what are you thinking?

Su Shi: Hey hey hey!
