[Comprehensive] Feasibility report on the restoration of the country

Chapter 48 Editing by the Academy of National History

The screams in the tunnel stopped abruptly after only a few breaths, and the reassuring aroma of white sandalwood floated back.Princess Shushou stretched out her hand subconsciously, and was immediately embraced by Murong Fu in his embrace.

"Your Highness, please don't take off the silk handkerchief for now."

Murong Fu's low voice rang in Princess Shushou's ears, Princess Shushou nodded meekly, and let Murong Fu carry her out.

After being pulled out of the tunnel by the imperial guards guarding outside, Princess Shushou finally took off the silk handkerchief covering her eyes.In front of her, many imperial guards had knelt down on the ground, all with respectful expressions.However, the group of imperial guards guarding her coming out of the tunnel only looked at Murong Fu as if they had seen a ghost.Princess Shushou frowned inexplicably, she was about to ask what happened in the tunnel, but she saw Murong Fu chatted with Huang Qian for a few words, then he brushed off his robe and walked towards her.

"Your Highness, please return to the palace as soon as possible, the officials must be very anxious." Murong Fu bowed to her and said softly.

Princess Shushou also knew that she should go, the servant who always waited by her father's side had already urged her twice, but she still couldn't help asking: "What about you?"

"Master Huang and I still have some finishing touches to do." Murong Fu replied warmly.

Princess Shushou nodded, bowed to Murong Fu, and said in a low voice: "Thank you Murong Tanhua for saving me today, Shushou will remember it in my heart and never forget it."

"Your Highness is serious." Murong Fu hastily saluted and replied respectfully. "The humble minister is nothing more than eating the king's salary and worrying about the king's worries, please, Your Highness!"

When Murong Fu confessed so frankly, Princess Shushou couldn't help being stunned for a moment.After a while, she nodded slightly, and was escorted by the guards to leave Qionglin Garden.

After seeing off Princess Shushou, Murong Fu turned his attention to Li Shishi and the others. "Miss Shi Shi, what happened tonight..."

As the leader of the capital, Li Shishi is very clever and transparent. Before Murong Fu finished speaking, he said firmly: "Tonight, Shishi and Tanhualang talked by candlelight. I am very happy. Apart from that, there is nothing else to do. occur."

Murong Fu looked at Li Shishi silently for a while, then smiled lightly and replied: "That's right. Miss Shi Shi and I hit it off and we had a great chat, we will definitely visit again someday."

Li Shishi couldn't help smiling when he heard the words, and left with a group of sisters.

After dismissing the helpless girls, it was Huang Qian's turn to walk over timidly.Huang Qian had just seen Murong Fu kill someone with a deadpan expression on his face, and even killed him neatly. He felt that his heart had been greatly hurt, and he didn't dare to look at him for a while, so he lowered his head and asked in a low voice: "Murong Fu Tanhua, shall we pour oil now?"

Murong Fu looked up at the sky, shook his head and said: "Move the corpse up first, the oil is very easy to burn, we'd better wait until Yinshi."

"Yes! Yes!" Huang Qian echoed with a smile all over his face, "We have to wait until Miss A Zhu has news."

Murong Fu didn't answer, but felt that Huang Qian's face looked much more pleasing to the eye.

After half an hour, Qiao Feng finally rushed back with Ah Zhu.

Seeing A'Zhu, Murong Fu finally let go of his worries that night, and hurriedly strode forward to pull A'Zhu to look left and right. "Have you ever suffered a loss?"

A'Zhu's face was full of shock and tears, when he heard Murong Fu's question, he burst into tears: "A'Zhu thought...thought...that I would never see you again...Wow..."

Murong Fu's distressed voice changed, he hugged her tightly and said, "Is it my fault, I should have sent more people by your side..."

Seeing that the two of them were almost crying in each other's arms, Qiao Feng had no choice but to go forward and pull Murong Fu away. "Murong, I have something to talk to you about."

Murong Fu lowered his head and wiped the corners of his eyes, bowed to Qiao Feng, and said softly: "Ah Zhu's matter, thank you Brother Qiao for your help."

Qiao Feng's eyes twitched when he heard his voice, there was still a little weeping, he endured and endured, finally he did not speak, he just took out an account book from his bosom and handed it to Murong Fu. "This is evidence that Li Qing secretly colluded with the Kaifeng government to buy and sell women and children."

Hearing this sentence, Murong Fu was startled.After a long time, he finally recovered his usual calmness and sensitivity, and only asked in a low voice: "Brother Qiao, do you know what you're doing?" Without waiting for Qiao Feng's answer, he added another sentence. "I've already killed Li Qing."

Just as Qiao Feng specifically instructed Feng Bo'e to find this account book for Murong Fu's sake, Murong Fu's killing of Li Qing was also for the sake of the Beggar Clan.However, the difference between Murong Fu and Qiao Feng is that Qiao Feng can express his kindness frankly, but Murong Fu is always somewhat defensive.Qiao Feng doesn't understand why Murong Fu is like this, he can only attribute it to the shadow of his childhood that made him unable to express his true feelings to people of equal status to him, instead he was more calm and at ease with those who wholeheartedly depended on him. "You treat me as a brother, and I naturally treat you as a brother. Li Qing deserves to die, and Dazhong's division is full of smog, and it is right to use thunderbolts to clean up the stale."

Murong Fu shook his head, reminding Qiao Feng seriously. "When the emperor got angry, he laid down millions of corpses, bleeding and floating on the oars. This is definitely not something that your little gang of beggars can resist."

Qiao Feng put his hands behind his back and said lightly: "I will withdraw the Dazhong sub-helm from Bianjing, as for the gang members who are indeed guilty, they will be handed over to the Siming Canon. Although the beggar gang is poor and destitute, it is by no means a place where filth and evil people are hidden. .”

Withdrawing the Dazhong sub-helm from Bianjing will not only damage the strength of the Beggars' Gang, but even the momentum of the Beggars' Gang in the Jianghu will be greatly reduced.It's not like Qiao Feng didn't understand, but since he insisted on doing so honestly and selflessly, there was no need for Murong Fu to persuade him.After all, the account book sent by Qiao Feng was indeed a timely gift. With this account book, Murong Fu could prove that he had no choice but to intervene in the responsibility of the Kaifeng Mansion, thus clearing away the suspicion of being a sycophant.

"So, thank you brother Qiao." Murong Fu then took over the account book.However, although Murong Fu accepted Qiao Feng's kindness, he didn't expect that a mere account book could bring down the old and cunning Cai Jing with the stamp of history.In fact, there was not even a word of Cai Jing left in this account book, and it was only the judge of Kaifeng Mansion who finally took the blame for the bandits in Wuyoudong.As for Cai Jing himself, he only received a few reprimands from Emperor Shenzong.However, the grievances between Murong Fu and Cai Jing have already laid the groundwork for disaster at this time.

Qiao Feng stared at Murong Fu's cold and deep eyes and said seriously: "Murong, you must be a good official!"

Murong Fu didn't respond, just looked at Qiao Feng and smiled slightly.

Both the princess and A'Zhu were rescued safely, and Qiao Feng sent evidence that could stop the courtiers from verbal criticism. Murong Fu no longer had any worries, and immediately ordered fuel oil to be set on fire.After setting the fire, many imperial guards patrolled the street and shot and killed more than a dozen thieves who fled from Wuyou Cave;Since then, the Wuyoudong thieves and bandits who have hated the people of Bianjing were finally wiped out.

Murong Fu aspired to be a civil servant, he didn't appreciate the name of killing the bandits in Wuyou Cave, so he put the credit on Huang Qian.In reciprocation, Huang Qian immediately agreed to hand over the account books sent by Qiao Feng to the officials for disposal.

Two days later, Song Shenzong, who had "recovered health", presided over the Great Court Meeting and awarded official positions for the new Jinshi.However, Murong Fu never expected that although he used an account book to pull down the judge of Kaifeng Mansion and escape the reputation of being a sycophant, he could not escape Emperor Shenzong's kindness in recruiting a son-in-law after all.

At the court meeting, Zhai Man, the number one scholar, was awarded the title of judge of Yingchang, and Liu Kui, the second place in the list, was awarded the title of observation judge of Yuezhou.Murong Fu thought to himself that he, Tanhua Moyue, was wandering from the sixth rank to the seventh rank, he was either an official or a censor.

Unexpectedly, Liu Kui had thanked him for his kindness, and the Emperor Shenzong on the dragon chair suddenly asked with a pleasant face, "Has Murong Tanhua ever married?"

When Murong Fu heard this, his heart skipped a beat, as for Manchu Wenwuju, they all looked at him with sympathy and pity.According to the rules of the Song Dynasty, the prince's son-in-law is not allowed to participate in politics. Once he marries the princess, he is doomed to make it his lifelong mission to please the princess's soft rice man.I don't know how many high-spirited new scholars have suffered from this system, and I don't know how many princesses' life-long happiness has been harmed.Not to mention the far ones, but the closest ones, such as Emperor Shenzong's sister-in-law Princess Shu, died of depression at the age of 30 precisely because she was neglected by her husband after marriage.As for the son-in-law Du Wei Wang Shen who neglected the princess, he was relegated to Yingzhou by Emperor Shenzong's edict. It is still unknown what night it is.However, even though Murong Fu was desperately unwilling to marry the princess, he also knew that Emperor Shenzong must have already found out his marital status if he asked such a question, so he could only honestly answer: "Your Majesty, no."

"Okay!" Emperor Shenzong clapped his hands and smiled immediately, "My third daughter, Princess Shushou, is about the same age as Murongqing. Isn't this a match made in heaven?" Murong Fu's silk handkerchief.When asked how she felt about Murong Fu, she just blushed and remained silent.Emperor Shenzong knew that his daughter had a great affection for Murong Fu.And Murong Fu was able to step forward to rescue the princess without fear of the censure of the court ministers, and his character and ability have already satisfied Emperor Shenzong.

As soon as Emperor Shenzong's words fell, the whole court echoed.Only Murong Fu was silent for a moment, then suddenly lifted his robe and knelt down, said in a deep voice: "I dare not obey the edict, please take it back, Your Majesty."

As soon as Murong Fu said this, the whole hall was in an uproar.Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, Murong Fu is still the No. 1 person who dared to refuse a royal marriage.All of a sudden, all civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty stared at him with the eyes of warriors and martyrs.

Emperor Shenzong had also suppressed his smile at this time, looked at Murong Fu coldly and said softly: "Why?"

Murong Fu changed his mind, thanks to the information explosion and the prosperity of the entertainment industry in later generations, he made up a story to evade this matter in just a moment.He lowered his head and brewed some emotions, and only replied with a wry smile: "I dare not hide this from your Majesty, although I have never been married, I actually have a marriage contract."

"Oh?" Emperor Shenzong's tone was still calm, apparently he didn't believe a word of him. "Which family's lady is it?"

Murong Fu bowed his hands and said in a low voice: "This is a very long story, please be patient and listen to what I have to say."

"Finish." Emperor Shenzong finally suppressed the anger in his heart, and looked at Murong Fu with a somewhat sneering expression.

"It was when I was two years old. My late father and Xianci had a deep love for each other. Seeing that Xianci missed his hometown, he decided to pack up the family property and return to Xianci's hometown Gusu to resettle. And I, the Murong family, and I Xiao Yuantu, the housekeeper of the Murong family, is extremely close to his family. Although Uncle Xiao and his late father have the status of master and servant, they grew up together as brothers and sisters. Half of my Murong family's property is due to Uncle Xiao. Uncle Xiao At that time, I had a daughter who was about to be full moon. My father wanted to marry Uncle Xiao, so he made a marriage contract between the minister and Uncle Xiao's daughter. Unexpectedly, on the way back to Gusu, we met robbers who took Uncle Xiao's body hostage. Wife and children, using their lives to force my late father to hand over his property..."

Speaking of this, Murong Fu closed his eyes in pain, and said softly: "Your Majesty, the so-called good fortune is hard to give up, it is the accumulation of generations of my Murong family, my late father... my late father had already secretly ordered the servants to go to the county government office Reporting the letter, I only hoped to delay for a while, waiting for the officers and soldiers to come to rescue. However, Uncle Xiao cherished the lives of his family and fought against the robbers regardless of his body, and finally died at the hands of the robbers. Fortunately, the officers and soldiers arrived in time, and my Murong family was saved It's just that since Uncle Xiao died, Aunt Xiao was very resentful towards my Murong family, so she took her daughter and left the Murong family regardless of my father's persuasion. My father always blamed himself for what happened to Uncle Xiao, and died of depression not long after he settled in Gusu. Mr. Ci also passed away when Weichen was 14 years old. Before his death, both his father and Xianci asked Weichen to try to find Aunt Xiao's mother and daughter, so that he could compensate and take care of them for the rest of his life. I dare not disobey even if I am smashed to pieces. Please learn from Your Majesty!"

Emperor Shenzong never expected Murong Fu to give him such a tragic explanation.At this time, the folk customs are simple and simple, and even the heinous people will never make up parents to respect their relatives at will. Emperor Shenzong would never have imagined that Murong Fu, who came from later generations, would never have the slightest attachment to his physical parents. It's even easier to open your mouth without any pressure.Seeing that Murong Fu couldn't help himself, he mentioned his parents' death, and even said that his biological father was greedy for money and immoral. He believed in this story, so he asked: "Could it be that you haven't heard of your fiancée all these years?" ?”

Murong Fu shook his head sadly, and said helplessly: "Aunt Xiao has a strong temper, my late father sent people to her hometown to give money and gifts when he was alive. Who would have thought that Aunt Xiao took her daughter away overnight after seeing her father and knowing her whereabouts?" Since then, there has been no news. After many years, the sea of ​​people is vast, and I don't know where to find their mother and daughter. But anyway, this is the last wish of the parents. If the minister violates it, won't they let them Can't you close your eyes under the Nine Springs?"

"If you never find their mother and daughter in your life..." Emperor Shenzong said tentatively.

"That is God's will to make this humble official die alone." Murong Fu said firmly.

"Okay, okay!" Emperor Shenzong saw that Murong Fu spoke so relentlessly, he suddenly knew that the matter of the marriage contract should not be mentioned again.I saw him say "Yes" twice with an unpredictable expression, and said expressionlessly: "Murong Qing is so filial, how can I not fulfill it? I just gave up on my proposal just now. With Murong Qing's talent, it is worthy The post of editor of the Academy of National History."

Edited by the National Academy of History, that is the official rank of the eighth rank, and it is low for a Tanhualang to be the eighth rank.Moreover, there is currently no plan to revise history in the court. This official position is for officials but not for them. Murong Fu's desire to make achievements is just a dream.And three years later, another Jinshi entered the imperial court. Murong Fu, a former star who dared to refuse marriage, is afraid that he will die in the Academy of National History.

This truth was understood by the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, and Murong Fu would certainly not understand it.However, people under the eaves had to bow their heads. Even though Song Shenzong was mean and ungrateful to avenge his personal revenge, the only thing Murong Fu could do at this time was to thank him.Thinking of Qiao Feng's exhortation to "be a good official", Murong Fu couldn't help but secretly smiled bitterly.What he is looking forward to now is that Song Shenzong can return to heaven as soon as possible.When Empress Dowager Gao comes to power and restores the teacher, he can also try to get him out of the National Academy of History and other retirement places.As an official of the Song Dynasty, but he has no respect for the Emperor of the Song Dynasty. I am afraid that he is not a "good official" who is loyal to the emperor and patriotic?This is really risky in the imperial examination, you need to be cautious in refusing marriage!
