[Comprehensive] Feasibility report on the restoration of the country

After the Xixia envoy and Zhong Shidao left, Murong Fu finally found the opportunity to meet Zhuge Zhengwo, the last hero who prevented Sima Guang from ceding Wuzhai this time.Cai Jing, the governor of Kaifeng, is following the power and only obeying the power. He will never accept the pleadings of "Jinlinlou" to stand up for the common people and seek justice from the Xia people.But only by letting Zhuge Zhengwo come forward to accept the pleadings first, and then Cai Jing dismissed them on the pretext of lack of jurisdiction, creating an atmosphere where the Song Dynasty government deeply fears that the Xia people dare not protect the people under their rule, can the people's anger be aroused to the highest.

Of course, after this incident, although Cai Jing was greeted by the people of Bianjing, Zhuge Zhengwo was also scolded bloody by Cai Jing.For this reason, Murong Fu had no choice but to pour wine for Zhuge Zhengwo himself twice, and then comforted him: "Cai Yuanchang is used to playing with the wind, he is the new party who governs the new party, and he is the old party who governs the old party." It's a pity that Sima Xianggong is stubborn, and I'm afraid he can't get used to him. I think he will be relegated sooner or later!" Murong Fu's words have historical basis.According to the records of Song Dynasty, Sima Guang was impeached by the Taiwan admonisher even though Cai Jing tried his best to please Cai Jing after he became prime minister, saying that he "brought evil to destroy the law".Sima Guang never spoke out for him, and Cai Jing resigned from Beijing shortly after being impeached.

Seeing Gongye doing it, it was to punish his subordinates, and the place was naturally chosen in the gloomy, cruel and dark torture hall.Seeing Zhuge righting me, he was a close friend having a drink and chatting, so the environment Murong Fu was in suddenly turned into a garden pavilion with birds singing and flowers fragrant.Zhuge Zheng and I seemed to have learned some news early in the morning, and cast a joking glance at Qiao Feng who was sitting next to Murong Fu, and then sighed: "Cai Jing's villain, he hasn't gained power yet, so it's nothing to worry about. I'm just lamenting, why Xiaren is here?" I, Song Dynasty, beat someone and violated the law, and Kaifeng Mansion has no jurisdiction?"

Although it was Murong Fu's deliberate arrangement for Xia's warriors to make trouble in "Jinlin Building", the imperial court all forgot about it after refusing to return Wuzhai, which is obviously very strange.If Zhuge hadn't reminded me, Qiao Feng would not have remembered this.He was in the rivers and lakes, and he couldn't understand the deep meaning of this jurisdiction for a while, so he couldn't help looking at Murong Fu silently.

Murong Fu touched the bottom of the cup and gently explained Qiao Feng's doubts. "According to the past rules, when a person from a foreign vassal state violated the law in the Song Dynasty, as long as the envoy of the country pleaded for the crime and pleaded for mercy, in order to show the court's benevolence and righteousness as a great country, he usually reprimanded the criminal a little bit, and then handed over the prisoner to the country's own disposal. This time, Probably because the matter is too small, so even the formal process of pleading guilty and denouncing it has been forgotten by the court officials."

Hearing this, Qiao Feng couldn't help frowning and said, "Deal with yourself? Asking the Xia people to deal with their own people for the sake of the Han people, isn't it just a matter of life and death?" He paused for a moment, and suddenly asked a question with happiness. "Does this mean that even if the Xia people killed people in Song Dynasty, there is nothing we can do about them?"

Seeing that Qiao Feng understood this truth, Murong Fu couldn't help but replied with a wry smile: "Brother Qiao, have you ever seen the Song government deal with foreign criminals?"

"There's no reason for that!" Qiao Feng immediately jumped up, "Isn't this using the people of Song Dynasty as favors for foreigners? How could the court be so weak and incompetent?"

Murong sighed in a low voice: "This... Moyue is a weak country without diplomacy. The literati are weak and afraid of death. All the princes in the court think that one thing is worse than one thing. Naturally..." During the Anti-Japanese War, the foreign powers had independent jurisdiction in the concession. Even if you kill someone, you have to go through the court of your country.As for whether there will be a trial, only God knows.Although Da Song is not that weak now, for the so-called "face", he did the same behavior as the later generations.The later generations are weak because of their strength; the Song Dynasty is weak because most of them are because of their spirit.

"That's right, let me understand it!" Zhuge Zheng and I clapped the table and said loudly. "What benevolence and righteousness! What tolerance! It's just an excuse for cowardice! During the Han and Tang Dynasties, which foreign feudal clan would dare to be so presumptuous?"

Murong Fu silently looked at the two clear palm prints on the white marble table, sighed for a long time and said: "The Five Dynasties and the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms are all the nightmares of the Han people. We must recast the heroic soul of China and encourage the people in the court to support Wu Zhi." Heart, there is a long way to go!"

Zhuge Zhengwo is a smart person who speaks at the beginning and wakes up at the end, raised his eyebrows immediately, and said clearly: "So this is the real intention of Akashi to write storytelling and rehearse Kunqu opera!"

Murong Fu smiled slightly, waved his hands and said: "Let's put these things aside, right now I have something to discuss with Brother Zhuge."

"What's the matter?" Zhuge Zhengwo asked immediately.

"Set up six sects, independent from the Ministry of Criminal Justice and all levels of government, and specialize in gang struggles in the Jianghu and major court and opposition cases. I wonder if Brother Zhuge is interested?" Murong Fu said seriously.Zhuge Zhengwo was not born in the imperial examination, and it is too difficult to climb the official career, so it is better to find another way. "Without the constraints of bureaucrats at all levels, Brother Zhuge's ambition to stabilize the world can go further."

Zhuge Zhengwo couldn't help raising his eyebrows and laughing when he heard the words: "This kind of secret is so important, you can't trust the heart of the non-officials!" The organization of the Six Doors first began in the Tang Dynasty. Get people's attention.I don't know how long Zhuge Zheng had thought about reopening the six doors, but although he intends to use the six doors to find talents from all corners of the country to serve the country, the court and officials don't trust him deeply.

"It's not difficult. My teacher Su Zizhan is about to return to Beijing. At that time, please recommend the teacher to Empress Dowager Gao. Brother Zhuge should prepare well. A princess disappeared before, and people attacked Kaifeng Mansion later. Empress Dowager Gao must be eager to find another Talented people guard the safety of the royal family." Murong Fu laughed.

Zhuge Zheng and I were not polite with Murong Fu, and immediately clasped our fists together and said: "If so, I would like to thank Akashi for fulfillment!"

Murong Fu shook his head, and replied: "You and I have contributed to the country, so I don't deserve your thanks. But there is one thing, I ask Brother Zhuge to help." As he spoke, he stretched out his finger to Qiao Feng. "There are countless disciples of the Beggars' Sect, and there are many heroes who are full of loyalty. If the six sects want to recruit talents, they might as well consider the disciples of the Beggars' Sect."

Murong Fu thought of himself so much, Qiao Feng was immediately moved, he only supported Murong Fu's shoulder and said, "Murong..."

Murong Fu picked up his wine glass and said in a deep voice: "The road ahead is boundless, you and I will do our best, let's do our best!" Sima Guang's lifespan will not be too long, after Sima Guang's death, the old and new factions will be exhausted National vigor.Thinking of these, Murong Fu's heart was really anxious and urgent.The wheel of history is about to roll down, but he is too small a butterfly, so he can only do his best, and put as many seeds as he can.

Qiao Feng and Zhuge Zhengwo are both upright and upright people, they looked at each other, held up their wine glasses together and said with great emotion: "Dedicate yourself to yourselves, let's die!"

After the first month, Su Shi, who had been eagerly awaited by everyone, finally entered Beijing.The two disciples Murong Fu and Qin Guan went to greet Su Shi outside the city gate as usual, but this time, Murong Fu, who had just met Su Shi, knelt down to plead guilty before he could greet Su Shi.Su Shi and Sima Guang are still in the honeymoon period now, Murong Fu angrily scolded Sima Guang in court, which hurt Sima Guang's face, but also the friendship between Su Shi and Sima Guang.

Su Shi looked down at this little disciple who cared about everything for a while, and said with a long sigh: "Get up!" The matter of returning Wuzhai was such a big deal, how could Su Shi not know?Although he and Sima Guang are close friends, he also understands that Sima Guang's opinion is not right. "I heard that Jun really vomited blood in anger in the hall, how is his body now?"

"Thank you, Teacher." Murong Fu hurriedly got up and said respectfully. "The Empress Dowager once sent an imperial doctor to diagnose and treat Xianggong, and recently Xianggong has begun to manage politics."

Su Shi was silent for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Junshi is quite old!" He cheered up a little, and ordered again. "Don't go home now, go to Xiangfu. Akashi, you don't have to follow, just ask Shaoyou to accompany me."

"Yes!" Murong Fu knew in his heart that Su Shi didn't want him to accompany him out of love for him, and he was afraid that Sima Guang would make him look bad.Then he jumped out of the carriage and told the coachman to take Su Shi to see Sima Guang first.This time the master and apprentice met, Su Shi didn't criticize him at all, and Murong Fu felt relieved.He is confident that he can face innocent blood and deep-seated hatred, but he is really unable to bear Su Shi's disappointment and Qiao Feng's blame.

Su Shi didn't come back until dusk, Murong Fu didn't dare to ask any more questions when he saw that he was drinking heavily, so he hurriedly ordered someone to help him go back to his room to freshen up and rest.But Qin Guan, who was following Su Shi, was still three-point clear, hooked Murong Fu's shoulder and said: "Mingshi, the teacher treats you...but, but there is nothing to say..."

Murong Fu understood that Su Shi was in a hurry to see Sima Guang as soon as he returned to Beijing, and he was specially going to make amends and plead guilty for him, so he couldn't help but sigh.

Su Shi was called back to the court with the official position of a doctor in the Ministry of Rites. In the first half of the court, he was promoted to a living room again.Qin Guan had known that Murong Fu had arranged for Su Shi's welcome banquet after returning to Beijing a long time ago, seeing Su Shi jumping twice in just half a month while Murong Fu remained on the sidelines, he was surprised and couldn't help asking.

Murong Fu knew that Qin Guan had always been ignorant of such mundane matters, so he was surprised to see him ask.But when he saw Qin Guan's sly expression, Murong Fu immediately understood his intentions, and said helplessly: "Now that the teacher is in the limelight, let's talk about it later." In fact, Murong Fu's original plan was to wait for Su Shi to be promoted. The Hanlin scholars presided over the tribute examination of the Ministry of Rites, promoted Huang Tingjian, Chao Buzhi, and Zhang Lei in the examination of the Taixue Academy, and held a banquet after they gathered the four Sumen scholars.

"Oh!" Qin Guan sighed regretfully, and just as he was about to leave, he couldn't help but add another sentence. "At the banquet, don't forget to invite Miss Xiang Wanqiu from 'Jin Le Fang'!" Xiang Wan Qiu is the famous actress who became popular because of her role as the eldest princess "Princess Lingyun" in "The Complete Biography of Shuo Yue" . The corner of "Princess Lingyun" is dignified and beautiful, soft on the outside and strong on the inside. She can be at ease in the backyard and be compatible with her husband's poems. This undoubtedly satisfies the ultimate fantasy of men in this era for the perfect wife.

As soon as Murong Fu saw Qin Guan's soul-giving and yearning expression, he wanted to violently beat up the scumbag for Qin Guan's wife, so he was too lazy to talk to him, so he rolled his eyes and left.Now that Murong Fu's property has grown bigger and bigger, he has long since ignored trivial matters such as banquets. Su Shi returned to Beijing this time, but he still had several more important matters to discuss with him.

The first thing is to ask Su Shi to write an inscription for the bookstore that will be rolled out across the country.Su Shi naturally responded to his apprentice's request. He took out his brush and ink and quickly wrote "Jinshuge" in three big ink-drenched characters.Seeing Murong Fu drying and putting away the banner carefully, Su Shi couldn't help reminding him. "Although the establishment of bookstores has the power to open up the wisdom of the people, will it be too aggressive to spread them all over the country?"

When Murong Fu heard that Su Shi, who has always been indifferent to common affairs, actually cared about his economics, his heart warmed, and he said with a smile: "Teacher, don't worry, I plan to control the price of each book sold in 'Jinshu Pavilion'." At a hundred words or so, there is no need to worry about not selling.”

Su Shi's eyes lighted up immediately when he heard the words. Nowadays, the price of most books is more than three to five hundred yuan. If you encounter some orphan books, rare books, or more out-of-the-way books, the price will be even higher.For scholars from ordinary families to study, buying books alone is already a huge expense. "If it can be done like this, it will be a great achievement!" Su Shi said overjoyedly. The cheap price of books can encourage students to study hard and enlighten the culture and education of the Song Dynasty, which is originally beneficial to the country and the people. "The book price is set so low, can you make money?"

"Small profits but quick turnover." Murong Fu said casually, most of the bookstores still use woodblock printing, but the bookstore Murong Fu is going to open is printed with movable type, and the cost is much lower than that of his peers. "In addition to the Four Books and Five Classics, poetry anthologies, anthologies, various histories and biographies, as well as legends and technical books will be sold. If there are more customers who buy books, the business will naturally go well, so teachers don't need to worry too much."

Su Shi is proficient in miscellaneous studies and has an open mind. Naturally, he would not think that books other than the Four Books and Five Classics are useless. He immediately echoed: "Opening a book is beneficial, even if it is a novel, it is always good to teach people to read if it guides people to be good." .”

"What the teacher said is true." Murong Fu replied, "I have a prosperous culture and education, and there are many talented people. It would be a great thing to publish their poems and articles in a book. This matter must start from the teacher!"

Su Shi had already heard from Su Zhe that Murong Fu wanted to publish a collection of poems and essays for the two brothers. Now that Murong Fu mentioned it again, he immediately agreed, but he was a little worried.Su Shi has always been forgetful, and he has to work hard to sort out the articles and poems he has written.Of course, it was later discovered that the collection of poems and essays compiled by Su Shi was not as complete as that compiled by Murong Fu on his behalf. "Besides me, there are still many scholars who have learned from the past and the present. If we can join in this matter..."

Murong Fu smiled slightly, and immediately said: "Please write a letter from the teacher, and the disciples will send people to discuss with them, and I will definitely teach them to be satisfied with the writing!"With him making the list, Murong Fu will naturally not worry about future sales.

Su Shi only thought that Murong Fu opened a bookstore to educate the people, which is a great good deed.He didn't know that opening academies to give lectures and publishing books for sale in the Song Dynasty were all sharp tools to spread his academic thoughts.After the opening of Murong Fu's book store, due to the low price of books, many competitors were squeezed out.Those colleagues who survived the disaster had no choice but to join Murong Fu's bookstore in order to protect themselves and sell the books that Murong Fu wanted the students and common people to read.As time goes by, Su Shi's articles and thoughts spread all over the world. When those students who read Su Shi's articles and accepted Su Shi's ideas gradually grew up to enter the imperial examination, they will be Su Shi's natural allies.

If the first thing Murong Fu wanted to do was considered a subtle and gentle method, then the second thing he wanted to do was extremely aggressive—he planned to run a newspaper, a newspaper that could manipulate public opinion and influence the general trend of the world.

Su Shi was silent when he heard Murong Fu's plan, and after a long time he pondered and said, "Aren't you afraid that Mr. Sima will know that the leaflet is from you?"

Murong Fu was also silent, and asked calmly after a while: "Back then, the teacher was relegated by the late emperor because he opposed the new law, does the teacher still think that the new law is useless?"

Su Shi couldn't help laughing when he heard the words. "Among my relatives and friends, only Akashi dares to ask each other so bluntly!" After finishing speaking, he immediately said seriously, "I opposed the new law as a teacher in the past because it disturbed the people, but now I know that it is impossible to generalize. It is a good law." Su Shi was relegated for opposing the new law, and was framed because of the new law and almost lost his life.However, even so, Su Shi was still able to maintain a sense of justice, discussing the matter on a case-by-case basis, and did not deliberately slander the new law because of personal grievances.Such behavior is the style of a gentleman and the bearing of a prime minister.

Murong Fu admired and admired such selfless and pragmatic Su Shi. He bowed and said: "The teacher is fair, and the student is honored." After a pause, he frowned and added another sentence. "However, the students may not have the tolerance of the teacher when they look at the words and deeds of Mr. Sima. Is this important national event used to fight against the ministers in the court?"

What Murong Fu said, Su Shi immediately understood that his disciple was not only not afraid of letting Sima Guang know that the leaflet was from him, but also wanted to use newspapers to manipulate public opinion to blackmail Sima Guang. "Ming Shi, shouldn't the teacher persuade you to become an official?" Sima Guang was the first rank in the court with many wings around him, if he wanted to move Murong Fu, it would be as easy as flipping the palm of his hand.

"Teacher thinks I'm going too far?" Murong Fu asked sadly.

Su Shi shook his head, and said in a low voice: "Teacher knows that you are dedicated to the public, but...the road is vast..."

Murong Fu smiled lightly, and said resolutely: "If one day, the teacher finds that the students' behavior is biased and endangers the world, please ask the teacher to eliminate the harm for the people!" Leaving the slightest leeway, as if he was going to deal with his life and death enemy. "I will personally hand over the trump card to defeat the enemy to the teacher."

The author has something to say:

Su Shi: Why can you talk about your ideals with students so murderously?

Director: This is probably because... a scholar meets a soldier. I can't explain why!

Murong: I'm dignified looking for flowers...

Director: Mr. Murong, how did you get here, you know me, do you need me to explain?

Murong: ...
