[Comprehensive] Feasibility report on the restoration of the country

Three days later, the Shinke Scholars went to the Ministry of Rites to report to the Ministry of Rites. After briefly learning the etiquette of meeting officials, they changed into noble official uniforms and rode horses all the way to Jinmingchi.There, there will be a grand Qionglin banquet waiting for them to participate.For Xinke Jinshi, this will be the most glorious day in life.The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, the people of Bianjing, and the emperors waiting in Jinmingchi will all celebrate them with joy.In the Song Dynasty, the virtue of fire was adored, and red purple was the color of high-ranking officials' court clothes. Most officials could not wear red purple throughout their lives, and only today is an exception.

When a group of Xinke Jinshi got on their horses and walked out of Donghuamen, the cheers rushed towards them like huge waves.I saw that the roads on both sides were already full of Bianjing people who came to watch the excitement, and even many brave people climbed up to the roof to look down because they couldn't get a good position.Murong Fu walked this way, seeing the crowd bustling with each other, and a large-scale stampede would happen if he didn't pay attention, he couldn't help shaking his head slightly.Thinking of the two maids, Azhu and Abi, who cheered and said they wanted to go to the street to see his heroic appearance on horseback before going out, and secretly regretted not stopping them.

Murong Fu was in a deep trance, and Liu Kui, who was next to him at the top of the list, asked aloud, "Mr. Murong, why did you look worried on the day of the golden list?"

Murong Fu forced a smile, and said softly: "There are so many people, if something happens, it's not a joke."

Liu Kui was taken aback when he heard this, and followed Murong Fu's gaze towards the crowds of people on both sides of the road.Indeed, although there are guards responsible for clearing the road and guiding followers in the Xinke Jinshi Parade, those people who were separated by the guards on both sides of the road are still crowding forward as much as they can. Because there are too many people, many people have been squeezed to the ground. Half of the soles of the feet fell on the ground to support the balance of the body, which looked extremely dangerous.After a long time, Liu Kuifang sighed in a low voice: "Since I read a book, I have been thinking about today. The return of triumphant songs and the dedication of Jie Taimiao are beyond comparison. I have never thought about the scenery behind it. How many dangers will the common people who come to join in the fun bear? Brother Murong is kind and caring for the people, I am not as good as you!"

Murong Fu shook his head, cupped his hands to Liu Kui, and said, "Brother Liu, self-examination, you are not as good as Brother Liu!" Will covet this vanity.But Liu Kui has been educated in such honors since he was a child, but he can be alerted only by Murong Fu's words. His talent is truly admirable.

Before Liu Kui could answer, Zhai Man, the champion who was only half a horse ahead of the two of them, turned his head and said with a smile, "I'll hurry up and go to Jinming Pond, but it will be more beneficial than worrying in vain here. The horseshoe is sick, two virtuous brothers, let's go!" As soon as he finished speaking, he whipped his horse and ran towards Jin Mingchi.

The number one scholar took the lead, Liu Kui and Murong Fu looked at each other and smiled, and hurriedly raised their whips to follow.After a while, all the new Jinshi speeded up.The fast horses that are marching are the most important test of the rider's skills and manners, so after running for a while, the common people noticed that some of these new scholars had slumped shoulders and shrugged their waists and pale complexions, while others were full of vigor and anticipation.The most pleasing sight is of course Murong Fu's straight back and superb riding skills, so that the cheers are louder wherever he passes, and there are more handkerchiefs and purses thrown by older girls and younger wives in the crowd.

Zhai Man, a member of the bureaucracy, was born with a mediocre personality, so he burst out laughing when he saw this situation. "There is an old saying, throwing a fruity cart to see if Wei Jie is killed, I believe it now!" Zhai Man's voice was so loud that many new scholars could hear it clearly, and couldn't help laughing at the same time.

Murong Fu had no choice but to bow his head and smile slightly without saying a word.But he didn't know that with just this small act, there were many people in the crowd, such as "cold like a jade mountain, smiling like a spring breeze", "light as a frightened bird, graceful as a dragon swimming", "bright as a moon, bright as a spring" and so on. Lili's poems frantically swiped the screen.Of course, everyone has a heart of comparison and jealousy, and there are naturally some self-comforting words such as "I am not bad looking", "My parents didn't match well", "It's better than Zhong Kui's fate", there are various kinds of words. They are all here, so I won’t list them one by one here.

At the Qionglin Banquet, with the help of Qin Guan, Murong Fu passed the standard poem safely.Afterwards, enjoy swimming in Jinming Pond and drink royal wine to your heart's content.Murong Fu has a wide range of knowledge, and later generations are tired of watching the Spring Festival Gala, and he is not very interested in the various celebrations of the Song Dynasty.For some reason, his thoughts are always busy today and it is difficult to concentrate. It seems that he subconsciously feels that something big is going to happen.

While he was in a daze, a young servant quietly came to his side and said in a low voice: "Murong Tanhua, the official has a call."

Murong Fu couldn't help being slightly startled when he heard the words, he turned his eyes on the servant's face and recognized that he was indeed one of the eunuchs who just followed Song Shenzong to serve. "Dare to ask the chief, why are the officials summoning you?" Murong Fu also asked in a low voice, Song Shenzong had already spoken and toasted the banquet just now, so it is strange to be summoned alone at this time.

The servant looked around, and only smiled and said, "Our family doesn't know about this either. Tanhualang, the official ordered that Tanhualang leave immediately, so as not to disturb others."

Murong Fu was silent for a while, then got up and said: "Please lead the way." No matter whether Song Shenzong summoned him or not, and no matter what purpose he summoned, Murong Fu could no longer evade it.

The two avoided the crowd, walked through several flower forests, and soon came to a palace behind Jin Mingchi.Inside and outside the palace, many maids with hairpin flowers were seen busy in and out, and when they saw a strange man appearing here, they all avoided it.When Murong Fu saw this situation, he stopped immediately, grabbed the waiter's wrist, and asked sharply: "Don't lie to me, is it really the official's call?" I came in person, and even brought many family members from the harem to play.If Murong Fu bumped into a concubine by accident, Emperor Shenzong would probably push him to Caishikou and chop him up.

The waiter never expected that Murong Fu, a scholar, could have such strength, the five fingers pinching his wrist were like cast iron, almost crushing his bones.The servant screamed in pain, and said repeatedly: "It is true that the government is calling, and the Queen Mother is here. How many of our family dare to pass on the imperial decree? Tanhualang, let go! Let go quickly! Ouch, it's about to end..."

"The Empress Dowager is here?" Murong Fu repeated in a soft voice, feeling a bit uncertain for a while.Emperor Shenzong has ruled the country for a long time, so it can be said that he was summoned privately for state affairs, although Murong Fu didn't know what kind of state affairs the emperor could discuss with him, a new Jinshi who had not yet been appointed.But if the Empress Dowager is here, I'm afraid it's probably... for family affairs.Murong Fu's surname is neither Gao Geng nor Xiang, so what kind of family affairs can he discuss with Zhao?

But at this time, a little boy about six or seven years old in light yellow casual clothes came running not far away, and shouted loudly while running: "Father, mother, my sister was abducted by bad guys! Sister Shushou was kidnapped by bad guys!" Take it away! Father!" The child's voice was sharp, with a little frightened crying sound, which made people feel extremely uncomfortable.

And behind him, many servants ran and shouted: "Prince! Prince, don't run! Watch your steps, Prince..."

Murong Fu let go of the servant in an instant, hugged Prince Zhao Xu who had run past him, and tightly covered his mouth with one hand.Before Zhao Xu could make a move, Murong Fu whispered into his ear: "Shut up! Don't cry! Don't ruin your sister's reputation!"

Murong Fu's words were extremely cold and stern, Zhao Xu felt chills all over his body, he didn't dare to struggle immediately, and let Murong Fu hug him into the hall.Murong Fu had vaguely guessed Song Shenzong's real intention in summoning him, but now that human life is at stake, other matters had to be put aside.

Inside the palace, Empress Dowager Gao was talking with Song Shenzong.I saw Empress Dowager Gao clutching a handkerchief in her hand, and said in a sad tone: "Although the incident in Bao'an has passed for so many years, it still hurts Ai's heart when thinking about it now. Shushou is your daughter-in-law, you must not take it lightly. If that Murong Mingshi really doesn’t want to marry my royal family, don’t force it!” Princess Shushou is the third daughter of Shenzong. Since the previous two daughters died young, Princess Shushou is not only the first daughter, but also the first daughter. She is actually the eldest daughter, so she has a high status naturally.

Speaking of his imperial sister who died young, Song Shenzong was also sad for a while. After a long time, he cheered up and said: "The imperial sister has a gentle temperament. It is Wang Shen who is unfaithful and unrighteous. He bullied my royal family too much! The imperial sister has passed away, and the queen mother If you continue to feel sad for the imperial sister, won't it make the imperial sister uneasy?"

Empress Dowager Gao nodded, wiped away her tears, firmly grasped the hands of Song Shenzong and Empress Xiang, and said firmly: "The Ai family has seen through it, the royal family is already the supreme in the world, there is no need to increase its momentum by choosing a son-in-law. No family and power, as long as he treats Shushou well, that's enough! That's enough!"

Empress Xiang didn't want her daughter to give in. Hearing that Empress Dowager Gao had this idea, her color changed slightly, and she hurriedly turned her eyes to her husband.I saw my husband patted the back of Empress Dowager Gao's hand and said, "Don't worry, Empress Dowager, this Murong Mingshi is Su Zizhan's student. He can travel all the way to Huangzhou to learn from his teacher without being afraid of being involved, and he can serve Su Shi with utmost filial piety. Treat Shushou kindly. As for his talent and appearance, the queen mother will know when she sees him later, so she must praise him!"

Empress Dowager Gao was feeling uneasy, when suddenly a man dressed in red and purple and looking like an immortal came striding in with her grandson in his arms.Empress Dowager Gao was startled when she saw this, before she had time to say "presumptuousness", the man had already let go of the crown prince, knelt down on one knee, and said in a deep voice: "My minister Murong Fu, I have seen the official family, the empress dowager, and the empress! Princess Shushou Missing, please ask the officials to order the closure of the city gates and martial law in the whole city. The banquet in Jinming Pool will stop immediately, and all visitors must verify their identities before they can leave. Please ask the officials to strictly check the maids, servants, and guards who serve the princess, so as not to cause any internal or external incidents. collusion."

"What?!" Song Shenzong, Empress Dowager Gao, and Empress Xiang were shocked at the same time.

The prince Zhao Xu, who had regained his freedom, had already rushed towards Song Shenzong, crying loudly: "Father, my sister has been taken away! Wow!"

Empress Dowager Gao and Empress Xiang were a girl, and they couldn't bear to hear such shocking news.The only adult man present, Song Shenzong, was weak and faltering due to his long illness. He held his son's arm tightly in one breath and asked each word: "What's going on here?"

Seeing his father's pale face, Zhao Xu was so frightened that he started to cry, choked up with sobs and kept calling "Father", but he couldn't answer a single word.

Seeing this, Song Shenzong's complexion became even more ashamed, and he gasped and shouted sharply: "Say it quickly!"

"Wow!" Unexpectedly, Zhao Xu was startled by Song Shenzong, and cried even louder.

Murong Fu couldn't see it, so he pulled Zhao Xu away from Song Shenzong's palm, and pressed his shoulder hard.Zhao Xugui was stunned for a moment and forgot to cry for the prince.I saw Murong Fu squatting down to look at Zhao Xu, put his hands on his shoulders and said word by word: "His Royal Highness, you and your sister changed clothes and slipped out to play, but your sister was arrested by the bad guys, but you are safe and sound." Come back. It was your sister who led the bad guys away, right? Princess Shushou is very brave, she saved you. Now, it is your turn to save her. You are the husband of a man, do you dare to save people?"

Zhao Xu was stunned for a moment, and finally nodded slightly.

"Good boy!" Murong Fu continued with a slight smile, "Now, tell your father, what kind of clothes did my sister wear when she was taken away? How many people took my sister away, and what characteristics did they have? From which direction? How much do you know, tell your father."

Zhao Xu finally regained his composure, and quickly explained the situation in detail.It turned out that Zhao Xu thought that Jin Mingchi was not fresh enough, so he pestered Princess Shushou, who always loved him, to change clothes and sneak out to play.Coincidentally, Song Shenzong held a Qionglin Banquet in Jinming Pool today. In addition to the royal family, there were also new scholars, performers, and even the lively Bianjing people who came to watch.The so-called crowd of people distracts the eyes, the two siblings dismissed the palace maids and eunuchs and sneaked out, but no one noticed.Unexpectedly, she was followed by bad guys before leaving Jinmingchi. Princess Shushou hid Zhao Xu in a bush, and ran to find the guards by herself, but was quickly taken away by two kidnappers in gray clothes.And Princess Shushou was wearing a green skirt when she left. This set of clothes is very ordinary, and her identity can never be seen.

After confirming that Princess Shushou was abducted, Empress Dowager Gao and Empress Xiang cried loudly at the same time.Song Shenzong's face was livid, and he immediately said loudly: "What are you still doing in a daze? Hurry up and summon the governor of Fengfu!"

Murong Fu's color changed slightly when he heard Zhao Xu describe that there were several damaged patches on the clothes of the two kidnappers, but now he heard that Emperor Shenzong wanted to summon the Governor of Kaifeng, his heart beat wildly.He immediately stopped the servant who was about to go out to deliver the decree, and said in a low voice: "Officials, don't say anything!" Cai Jing has probably colluded with those kidnappers. If he knows that the princess is missing, I am afraid that she will never be found. .

Song Shenzong is currently in the Six Gods and No Master, just now seeing Murong Fu straightforwardly asking about the situation, he has a faint dependence on him, so he immediately said: "Why don't you say it?"

Without proof, Murong Fu naturally couldn't say that he doubted the Governor of Kaifeng Mansion, so he just said: "Kaifeng Mansion has always done things with great fanfare, I am afraid that Princess Shushou will not be found, the matter has been spread and the whole world knows, Princess Shushou's reputation is important. Also, if those kidnappers are frightened when they receive the news, they will kill people to silence them!"

Empress Dowager Gao has gone through two generations, and obviously knows the virtues of the Song bureaucracy.Hearing Murong Fu's reminder, Empress Dowager Gao nodded repeatedly, grabbed Song Shenzong's arm and said, "Officials, what Murong Qing said is reasonable!" After all, the princess is different from the prince. She will ruin the reputation of all the clan women for her alone.

Empress Xiang was connected with Princess Shushou's mother and daughter, and she only cried aloud: "Then what about my daughter? My miserable daughter!"

Song Shenzong was also frowning deeply, and said anxiously: "For no reason, why do you ask me to close the city gate and put the whole city under martial law? And that child Shushou..." Although it was only a daughter, she was the only one with the empress. Emperor Shenzong naturally loved the children who survived.If not, he would not have spent a lot of trouble for her marriage, trying every means to arrange for her and Murong Fu to meet and fall in love with each other.

Murong Fu bowed deeply, and said in a deep voice: "My minister is overbearing, and the city gate can be closed without hesitation. As for the whereabouts of Princess Shushou, this minister has a method, which I can try."

Song Shenzong resolutely skipped the words "Holy bow without hesitation", and just stared into Murong Fu's eyes and said sharply: "Murong Fu, are you sure?"

Murong Fu smiled lightly, and answered confidently: "Officials, since I dare to volunteer, I will be somewhat sure. What's more, based on the experience of the officials, can Kaifeng Mansion save people?"

Song Shenzong was silent for a while, if the Kaifeng Mansion really worked, how could the princess be abducted today?

"Two days! Within two days, I will definitely bring the princess back safe and sound." Murong Fu said again, "If the officials still don't see the princess after two days, I will let the officials handle it!"

This sentence finally moved Song Shenzong, and he immediately asked, "Which manpower do you need?"

Murong Fu shook his head slightly, and said softly: "It is only necessary for the officials to control the mouths of all the people in the palace, so that the people in Bianjing City will not come out. Also, please ask the officials to lend me something."

"What?"

"Princess Shushou's clothes."

The author has something to say:

Note: Princess Shushou's biological mother... ahem, no information was found.Judging from her marriage, it is more likely that she was a concubine, but for the convenience of writing, let's set it as the concubine's.

Murong: Please borrow Princess Shushou's clothes from the official family!

Song Shenzong's family: Pervert!
