[Comprehensive] Feasibility report on the restoration of the country

On the eighteenth day of the first lunar month, the imperial court formally condemned Xia Guo's unreasonable demands, stating that Wuzhai is the homeland of China, and the Song Dynasty will never abandon the country for any reason.At the same time as this decree came down, there were also commendations from the imperial court to the students who petitioned the imperial court, as well as commendations to several restaurants that had arranged to perform "Shuo Yue Quan Zhuan" storytelling in the past few days.While the people of Bianjing were proudly cheering for victory, Empress Dowager Gao quietly sent a servant to Murong Mansion.

Murong Fu listened expressionlessly to Empress Dowager Gao's scolding of "disrespect and disrespect to the superior", wrapped a big red envelope and respectfully sent the servant away, then turned his head and told Feng Bo'e: "Prepare a generous gift. , I will go to the Prime Minister's Mansion tomorrow to plead guilty."

Although the leaflet was extinct after the Tai students petitioned, but there were court officials pointing out the country in the Fengyue place, and the people of Bianjing soon knew the feat of Murong Fu angrily scolding Sima Guang for being unworthy in the court.Some people praised him while others scolded him, Murong Fu instantly became a man of the hour and he was in the limelight for a while.Now that the Empress Dowager has a decree, it can be regarded as a final conclusion for Murong Fu's behavior.Dissatisfied in the disgust of the turmoil, and worried that Murong Fu would be unhappy, hearing Murong Fu's arrangement, he couldn't help but said: "The empress dowager is rude to protect her shortcomings, why should my son be wronged? Didn't the servant just say that, the officials are actually right The young master speaks out of righteousness and greatly appreciates it."

Murong Fu glanced sideways at Su Zhe, shook his head and said, "These are two different things, we should not treat them in the same way. Teacher and Mr. Sima are close friends. As a junior, I should never be angry with my elders. If I don't come to the door to apologize, I will treat the teacher. Going back to Beijing should be difficult."

When Murong Fu mentioned Su Shi, he knew that it would be difficult to persuade him when the situation was bad, so he sighed and went down silently to prepare.

But Su Zhe was very moved, and he stepped forward and said: "Ming Shi, Mr. Sima is stubborn, tomorrow... Sigh! You are a late learner, so let's serve you respectfully!"

Murong Fu nodded and did not speak.In his opinion, if Wang Anshi reluctantly assumed the post of prime minister with the qualifications of the governor, resulting in correct goals but inappropriate actions; then Sima Guang challenged the prime minister of a country with the ability of a teacher, and in the end he would only follow the scriptures without politics. wisdom.As for stubbornness, a scholar who is stubborn can still be said to have a strong character, but an official to a minister is still stubborn and refuses to listen to others, that can only be said to be immature.Therefore, without Su Zhe's ambiguous reminder, Murong Fu already knew that if he went tomorrow, he would be shut down.The reason why he still insisted on going knowing the result was just to give Empress Dowager Gao and Sima Guang a step down.

And the development of the matter was exactly as Murong Fu expected, after Murong Fu handed over the name card, the servant of the Prime Minister's mansion put a blank face on him and led him to the outer hall, and let Murong Fuku sit for two hours without seeing him. No one asked questions, let alone served refreshments.Two hours later, Sima Guang's loyal loyalist Liu Zhifang walked out of the inner courtyard unhurriedly, and said coldly, "My lord is unwell, so it is inconvenient to entertain guests today. Lord Murong, please go back!"

Murong Fu collected the internal energy that had been circulating for several weeks in his dantian calmly, breathed it out and got up. "If that's the case, I won't bother you." Pointing to the gift on the table, he said, "A few small gifts are just for Mr. Sima's use. Please pass them on to Mr. Liu."

Liu Zhi didn't even look at the gift, and said with a sneer, "Msanggong has always been upright, and disdains ghost tricks. Please bring these gifts back, Mr. Murong, so as not to damage your reputation!"

Liu Zhi was so taunted, but Murong Fu remained calm, and instead bowed and said, "It's because I didn't think carefully, I would like to be taught! I will leave!" After finishing speaking, he walked away with the gift.

Before the Great Court Meeting, Liu Zhi had little contact with Murong Fu and did not have a deep impression of him.At the court meeting, Murong Fu jumped out and scolded Sima Guang, and Liu Zhi only regarded him as a lunatic eager to become famous.But Murong Fu's performance today is obviously too abnormal for Liu Zhi, Liu Zhi can't see through him for a moment.Back in the study room in the inner courtyard, Sima Guang was sitting behind the table in a long robe, looking through the entries of the Green Crop Law.Seeing Liu Zhi come back, Sima Guang closed the book and asked, "Is he sent away?"

"Let's go." Liu Zhi replied.

Sima Guang nodded, and was about to continue to focus on the young crop method but saw Liu Zhi's expression hesitated, so he asked again: "What's wrong?"

"Master, this Murong Fu official can't see through him." Liu Zhi bowed and replied, "At the court meeting, he spoke rudely to Mr. Xiang, and the official only thought that he was being used as a gun for his ignorance. But if he If you're really simple-minded, you won't just sit around for hours and still be courteous." There are a lot of praises from inside and outside the government, and if he is really a fool who is being used by others without knowing it, he may still be complacent now, let alone come to plead guilty.Liu Zhi didn't mention this sentence.

Sima Guang pondered for a while, then suddenly smiled, and said in a low voice, "Su Zizhan is a good student!" Could it be Su Zizhan who is behind the scene?This idea quickly appeared in Sima Guang's mind and quickly vetoed it by himself.Sima Guang thinks he knows his old friend very well, but Su Shi has always been ignorant of his innocence and scheming. "Don't pay attention to Murong Fu. Since he is Su Zizhan's student, he will take care of Su Zizhan himself when he returns to Beijing! The top priority is to abolish the new law and find out the man behind the scenes who manipulates the public opinion."

"Yes!" Liu Zhi hurriedly bowed his head in response, and didn't say any more.

Murong Fu, who came back after being shut down, never mentioned this matter, and asked about the black workshop of printing leaflets, the secret line with Ma Juan, the leader who instigated the people to attack Kaifeng Mansion, etc. as usual, and everything should be finished.However, he didn't know that it was precisely because he was doing everything as usual that made everyone even more frightened.

On the night of the first day of the first lunar month, Murong Fu and Qiao Feng had a big fight. This was the first time anyone who knew Murong Fu had seen him lose his temper for the first time.After that night, Murong Fu devoted all his energy to the court, never mentioning the word "Qiao Feng", and there was no reason to try to persuade everyone.Everyone who was bathed in the increasingly depressed air pressure in Murong Mansion saw the time passing day by day. Not only did Qiao Feng stop coming, even Murong Fu became more and more calm.Everyone doesn't know whether he has completely let go of this matter, or is he holding his breath and waiting for the next big disturbance, and every day is spent in fear and exhaustion.In the end, Wang Yuyan, who was closest to Murong Fu, surrendered first, and ordered Deng Baichuan to ask Master Zhong for help.

Two days later, Zhong Shidao, who was about to return to the border, stepped into the Murong Mansion under the high expectations of everyone, and was invited to the study by a storm of gratitude.At this time, Murong Fu was meeting Boss Tang of "Jinlin Building" in the study.

"You did a good job this time!" As soon as the two met each other, Murong Fu set the tone for Tang Lin's recent achievements straight to the point. "I will never treat those who serve me sincerely. I have sent the reward you deserve to my house. In addition, I will give you [-]% of the shares of 'Jinlin Building' and 'Jinle Fang', but passed on to the descendants."

Murong Fu paid Tang Lin quite a lot of money, so the so-called reward Tang Lin didn't take very seriously.But "Jinlinlou" and "Jinlefang" have already gained fame in Bianjing City and won awards from the imperial court. It can be said that they are two golden chickens that lay eggs. Murong Fu gave him shares, which really made him happy and convinced.He hastily bent down, and said sincerely: "Thank you, my lord! Tang Lin was appreciated by your lord, and today he is here, and he will go through fire and water as your lord!"

Murong Fu smiled softly, and said in a low voice: "There's no need to go through fire and water, and being down-to-earth is enough to comfort my heart. I told you to train people for the opening of the branch, how is it going?"

"My lord, we have signed an agreement with several big restaurants in Bianjing city to tell storytelling and sing Kunqu opera for the sake of Xixia warriors. This has already divided many customers. If we open another branch..." Bianjing city is under the foot of the emperor. Whether the branch can be as good as Bianjing City's business Tang Lin dare not promise.He was afraid that Murong Fu would blame him for opening a branch but the profit would not be good, so he procrastinated as long as he could.

Before Tang Lin could finish speaking, Murong Fu knocked on the table twice and said in a deep voice: "Pingshu and Kunqu operas all have the power of enlightenment, and 'Jinlin Tower' and 'Jinlefang' must be opened in various state capitals within three years." There are ten branches, and in those more lively counties, teahouses will be opened and storytellers will also be arranged. At the same time, we encourage the children of Liyuan from other families to come to learn opera, and 5.00% of their performance income in the next three years will be used as a tuition fee. If you do these things , I will give you [-]% of all the profits of these branches every year. Tang Lin, I have high hopes for you, and you must not let me down. Remember, I only look at the results, not the reasons. Go on!"

Murong Fu was so resolute and well versed in people's hearts, Tang Lin no longer dared to prevaricate and procrastinate with petty calculations.I saw him licking his dry lips with beads of sweat on his face, bowing obediently and saying that he retreated respectfully.

Until Tang Lin exited the study, Murong Fufang picked up the tea bowl that had been set aside. "Abi, let Fourth Brother Feng take my name card and send it to Zhuge Mansion!" As soon as he finished drinking the tea in the tea bowl, he hurriedly got up and opened the door. "Tell Lord Zhuge, I have something important to discuss with him, please... Brother Zhong, why are you here?" Unexpectedly, as soon as the door opened, I saw Zhong Shidao standing outside the door.

Abi, who had been guarding the door all the time, answered yes softly, looked at Shidao Zhong worriedly, and backed away silently.

Zhong Shidao walked into Murong Fu's study with a smile, and closed the door behind him. "I'm going back to Mizhi tomorrow. Before I leave, come and see our busy Lord Murong."

Murong Fu couldn't help laughing, and said helplessly: "You came all the way here just to tease me?"

Zhong Shidao didn't answer, picked up a note that Murong Fu put on the table, and read in a low voice: "See Zhuge Zheng me, set up six doors; pick up the teacher, hold a welcome banquet; open a bookshop, run a newspaper ...It seems that he is really busy, but...should I add one more thing?" He put down the note, looked directly into Murong Fu's eyes, and said clearly. "Make peace with Qiao Feng."

Murong Fu opened his eyes wide in disbelief, turned around abruptly, stared at the opposite wall with a stiff body.After a long time, so long that Zhong Shidao thought that Murong Fu would ask him to leave, Murong Fu finally responded.I saw him slowly clenching his fists and pressing down on the table, as if he was overwhelmed, but he was still struggling with perseverance, unwilling to seek any support.Murong Fu never forgot Qiao Feng for a single moment, and forgot the dispute with Qiao Feng that night.He just consciously closed the right brain that controls emotions, and chose to use the rational left brain to deal with more urgent matters.

Seeing Murong Fu in such a state, he didn't need to say any gags that Zhong Shidao knew. "The three of us are friends who were killed from the mountain of corpses and the sea of ​​blood. How can these two brothers have an overnight feud? No matter what, you have quarreled and fought, and you almost killed him. When the trouble is over, tell him Let's make it!"

Murong Fu shook his head with difficulty, and said softly: "I won't, I didn't... I didn't think about killing him."

Zhong Shidao stepped forward and hooked Murong Fu's shoulders, and said clearly: "I know, you were very angry that night. But about Li Yanzong..."

Murong Fu let out a deep breath, and said bitterly: "No, this has nothing to do with Li Yanzong."

"What did you send Gongye Gan to Xia Guo? If you don't tell me, I won't ask..."

"No! This has nothing to do with Gongye!" Before Zhong Shidao finished speaking, Murong Fu couldn't help interrupting him again. "I understand whether I am cruel, merciless, cold-blooded or ruthless. From the beginning to the end, the one who doesn't understand is Qiao Feng. Brother Zhong, you don't know him...you don't know him..." Murong Fu couldn't continue, only silently Back to his own position, staring blankly at his hands in a daze, completely helpless and unable to do anything.

What kind of person is Qiao Feng in the original book?Such a person is selfless with awe-inspiring righteousness and awe-inspiring deeds.When such a gentleman dies for the righteousness in his heart, his heart is calm, and he will even deeply feel the nobility of his soul and be proud of it for sacrificing his life.But at the same time, the absurdity of reality is always here.This so-called noble sacrifice in the eyes of almost everyone is often worthless.To strive for the happiness of the majority, it is useless to die generously for morality. Only by letting go of morality and unscrupulous means can it be possible to turn the situation around and achieve a great cause. "Tao Te Ching" has a cloud: the world is not benevolent, and all things are regarded as dogs.That's because great love for the world does not require benevolence.But these, those benevolent gentlemen often cannot do it. It is far more difficult for them to abandon benevolence and righteousness than to ask them to abandon their lives.Such a person, from another perspective, is it not a kind of selfishness?

The real point of conflict between Murong Fu and Qiao Feng is not whether Murong Fu knew about Gongye's murder of Li Yanzong's family, or whether Murong Fu was indifferent to the death of Li Yanzong's family and did not punish Gongye, or even It's about whether Qiao Feng thinks that Murong Fu's character has become cold-blooded and ruthless.In essence, the two of them simply have different views!When Qiao Feng believed that morality was far more important than everything else, and practiced it personally, Murong Fu had already believed that goals were far more important than everything else.And this point, Qiao Feng is still not even aware of it.

Murong Fu didn't know what to say, and who to talk to.His mind is mature enough not to cry and force others to "understand".He just didn't want to end up in this life like his previous life, being accused of being a heinous villain, and then being killed with peace of mind, and it was his closest relatives who were the targets he wanted to protect.Murong Fu also knew that Yu Yan's words were actually correct, different ways do not conspire with each other.But if it weren't for Su Shi and Qiao Feng, Murong Fu would never have given up enjoying life in this life, and instead set himself the goal of "saving the Song Dynasty", which seems childish and ridiculous but is destined to exhaust his life's efforts.If, at the very beginning of everything, he had to abandon Qiao Feng, and perhaps even Su Shi in the near future, then what was the purpose of all his exhausting efforts?

At this moment, Murong Fu suddenly remembered a sentence he had read in his previous life: There is no fate between you and me, it all depends on me.

The author has something to say:

Murong: Director, we agreed not to be cruel!

Director: Young people, whether to abuse or not is a matter of comparison. Qiao Feng has abused more than you now!

Murong: Knowing that he is not doing well, I feel relieved!

Qiao Feng: ...
