At the court meeting on the fifth day after Ah Zhu left, Huang Tingjian, who was the secretary at the time, suddenly wrote a letter impeaching the right minister Liu Zhi for controlling the government, disrespecting the emperor, arbitrarily exercising power, and eliminating dissidents.
Shocking!
At this time, the Shuo Party was established in the imperial court, the New Party had been purged, the Luo Party was half-destroyed, and the Shu Party could not shrink back after Su Shi resigned.As soon as Huang Tingjian's impeachment memorial was published, it immediately attracted a group of attacks from the Shuo Party group. Occasionally, a member of the Shu Party would speak for Huang Tingjian, but it was hard to beat with two fists.Even the empress dowager scolded Huang Tingjian: "Much ado about nothing!" But the little emperor, who has always had no good impression of the Shuodang, remained silent in the audience.If it wasn't for Su Zhe, a good old man, who threw down his face and pleaded for mercy for Huang Tingjian, Huang Tingjian would have been kicked out by the guards on the spot.
After the disintegration of the dynasty, members of the Shu party gathered in Su Shi's mansion in a tacit understanding.Su Shi had heard the cause and effect, so he couldn't help putting his hands on his forehead, and said for a long time, "Go ask Akashi to come over."
Murong Fu hadn't been on duty that day, seeing the teacher was called, he rushed over quickly.Hearing Su Zhe talk about everything that happened in the hall today with a difficult tone, Murong Fu also put his hands on his forehead and sighed deeply. After a long time, he clasped his hands against the edge of the table and said word by word: "Brother, I thought I stopped you a few days ago in "" When the Bianjing Times published an editorial criticizing Liu Zhi, we had already talked about this issue and reached a consensus! Now is not the best time to impeach Liu Zhi and Shuodang!"
Huang Tingjian lowered his head at first and did not answer, but after a while he said, "I will hand over the position of editor-in-chief of "Bianjing Times."
"Now is not the time to talk about the position of editor-in-chief," Murong Fu said weakly, "Brother, please tell me frankly, who and what happened made you change your mind." Regarding Huang Tingjian's political literacy, to be honest, Murong Fu I am really desperate.He couldn't understand why Huang Tingjian could only care about some trivial details so far, but he didn't realize how serious the crisis was. "Now is not the time to be held accountable, I must know where the problem is so that I can avoid the same problem in the future!"
Huang Tingjian still refused to speak.
Murong Fu couldn't help turning his head to look at Su Shi, Su Shi shook his head helplessly and said, "Lu Zhi insisted that impeachment of Liu Zhi was his own idea."
"This is impossible, senior brother!" Murong Fu suppressed his anger, still trying to negotiate, trying to get something out of Huang Tingjian's mouth. "I said earlier that all we can do now is wait! Sooner or later, Liu Zhi will be rejected by the Empress Dowager for his self-willedness. Be patient, patient, patient, and wait for the fruit to ripen!" If it wasn't for this, Murong Fu would not If you have the leisure time to attend the Hundred Flowers Fair.No matter how beautiful the legendary Mrs. Ma is, she is definitely not as important as this world in Murong Fu's heart.
A trace of shame flashed across Huang Tingjian's face, but he remained silent.
Murong Fu looked at Huang Tingjian in surprise, then turned his head to look at Su Shi again, and asked himself: Who is the person who can make the senior brother willing to betray the teacher and defend him?A flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, he stood up abruptly, and said sharply, "Back off! All irrelevant people, back off! Close the doors and windows!"
Everyone in the Shu party looked at Murong Fu in confusion, after a while, the servants in the hall retreated like flowing water, and closed the doors and windows tightly.Then Murong Fu lowered his voice and said slowly: "Senior brother, the people in the hall are all our own people. Please tell me frankly, is that person... an official or a family?"
Huang Tingjian instantly raised his head and stared at Murong Fu firmly.Although he didn't admit it, but judging from his performance, everyone already understood.All of a sudden, everyone's expressions were a little strange, seemingly relaxed, heavy, and inexplicable.
Murong Fu didn't expect such an answer, so he stretched out his hand to support the armrest of the chair and slowly sat back in the chair, shaking his head with a wry smile. "Thousands of calculations, but I missed him... This matter is my fault, brother, don't blame yourself." Murong Fu heard about it when he came back from Luoyang, and the little emperor used the excuse of being very interested in the "Dongpo Poetry Club" several times Called Huang Tingjian to explain to him the theme of each issue of the poetry meeting.Huang Tingjian got married with the little emperor, this was something Murong Fu liked to see happen, so naturally he never asked too much about it.It's just that he never expected that the little emperor treated Huang Tingjian not as a match between the emperor and his ministers, but just as a tool for throwing stones and asking for directions. "I think the officials must have said that as long as senior brother Shangshu impeaches Liu Zhi, he will definitely look up for senior brother?"
Huang Tingjian's eyes turned red, and he choked up with sobs for a long time and said: "...the official, the official must have his considerations...this is not known to the subordinates..."
Murong Fu let out a long sigh, and said vaguely: "The officials have abused me thousands of times, and I treat them like first love..." As he spoke, he couldn't help laughing long and hard, the laughter was so resentful and mocking, yet so sad Disappointment makes people shudder in their ears.
Everyone had never seen Murong Fu lose his composure like this before, they couldn't help but look at each other.I don't know how long it took, Su Shifang stepped forward under the instigation of everyone, tugged on Murong Fu's sleeve, and tentatively called out: "Mingshi?"
Facing Su Shi's sincere and innocent eyes, Murong Fu cheered up immediately, thumped the table hard and said in a loud voice: "There is no savior, everything depends on ourselves! Brother, please forgive me! Take the teacher to Hangzhou, build a Su Causeway, and build a Three Pools Reflecting the Moon, you can’t ruin this thing that truly benefits the people and has a long history because of me!”
"That's it?" Su Shi was dumbfounded, "Is this the end?"
"That's it!" Murong Fu said with a smile immediately, "The rest of the matter, of course, is to return to the government and take up the work. The teacher can go to Hangzhou with peace of mind." His eyes are deep and calm, as if he can see through all the sinister hearts of the world , can withstand all the blows of wind and waves.
Facing such eyes, Su Shi had no room for refutation and doubt, so he nodded obediently involuntarily.
But Huang Tingjian was still more sober than Su Shi, and immediately asked in surprise: "Could it be that even the teacher..."
"If you don't kill a snake, you will suffer from it. Brother, this time you made a memorial to impeach Liu Zhi, but the Empress Dowager never spoke for us. Then when the Shuo Party retaliates against us, the Empress Dowager will definitely not speak up!" Murong Fu said softly.
"This! What should I do?" Huang Tingjian was shocked for a moment. He had many disagreements with Murong Fu.However, after this incident, he unconsciously began to believe in Murong Fu's judgment.
"No, this is very good..." Murong Fu's expression was extremely determined, and he said proudly with his hands behind his back. "Originally we were just waiting for the fruit to ripen, but now we can think of ways to ripen it. Brother, don't worry, it's just some floating money, and there is nothing reluctant about it. There are some things that you want to take, and you must give them first! "Liu Zhi was stubborn and narrow-minded, and the empress dowager acquiesced to his revenge on the Shu party because of the power of the Shuo party, but with his character, he would inevitably play off the matter of revenge against Li Wei.What's more, even if he didn't play off, Murong Fu wouldn't mind "helping" him play off!
About Liu Zhi's monopoly, Huang Tingjian originally planned to disclose it in the "Bianjing Times". Huang Tingjian reluctantly gave up.However, the little emperor summoned Huang Tingjian in private, saying that the Empress Dowager was extremely dissatisfied with Liu Zhi and wanted Huang Tingjian to come forward to impeach him, and he himself would definitely speak for him in court.Huang Tingjian felt that he was deeply trusted by the officials, so he confidently presented the impeachment memorial.But it never occurred to him that the little emperor would deceive him like this!Putting him and the entire Shu Party in danger in this way!Originally everyone was in a state of confusion because of their own affairs, but when Murong Fu came, he calmed everyone's emotions and stabilized the situation with a few words.Seeing his pride, boldness, and responsibility, Huang Tingjian felt even more inexplicable. Unknowingly, a thought floated up in his heart: If the official family is as bright and upright as a junior, he dares to take responsibility... Thinking of this, Huang Tingjian woke up instantly. , A cold sweat broke out on his back.
On the second day, it was Murong Fu who was on duty.Murong Fu finished explaining the day's homework to the little emperor, and was about to get up to resign.But the little emperor suddenly said: "Huang Luzhi has submitted a memorial today and asked to be released, I think my grandmother will agree."
Murong Fu's expression didn't change, he just bowed respectfully and said: "Thank you, the official, my brother will feel at ease when I go back."
"I know that Huang Luzhi is a loyal minister!" The little emperor still had something to say and said meaningfully. "It's just that the world is so big, I can't just consider Huang Luzhi alone. Now that the Shuo Party is powerful, my grandmother has no choice but to let you suffer some grievances. It is normal for ministers to disagree, but if you go against the law and violate the law, then That's another matter. Murong Qing should know that I have always been close to you, if you have anything to tell me at any time, I will definitely make the decision for you."
"Thank you, the official, I will leave." Murong Fu bowed again, bowed and left.When he reached the entrance of the hall, he suddenly stopped and said in a low voice: "Officials, what happened yesterday, senior brother didn't say a word after he came back!" After finishing speaking, he didn't bother to look back at the little emperor's expression, and left straight away.
Party struggles have always been life and death.Huang Tingjian blew the clarion call for the Shu party to fight against the Shuo party, but he did not defeat the Shuo party.Then the next step is that the Shu Party ushered in a full-scale retaliation from the Shuo Party.Only on the third day of Huang Tingjian's impeachment memorial, the Empress Dowager approved Huang Tingjian's request to be released and demoted him to the county magistrate of Hangzhou.As Huang Tingjian's teacher, Su Shi packed his bags and went to Hangzhou to take up his post with Huang Tingjian.Without Su Shi as the host, the "Dongpo Poetry Club" that had lasted for many years had to be completely suspended.However, the Shuo Party was obviously not satisfied with Huang Tingjian's departure from Beijing. Zuo Admonishment Doctor Liang Tao, You Zhengyan Liu Anshi, Supervising Censor Yang Kangguo and other Shuo Party pioneers repeatedly impeached members of the Shu Party.Su Zhe, Hu Zongyu, and Shangguan who stayed in the court were all spared. They were either scolded for eating vegetarian food, deceiving the world and stealing their names, or being scolded for spreading rumors and being jealous of talents.Among them, Murong Fu was impeached the most. Shuo Dang gave the eight-character comment "Su Men's lackeys, presumptuously climbing the dragon and phoenix", and asked the Empress Dowager to immediately separate him from the little emperor.The empress dowager did not want to expand the party struggle, so she just kept these memorials and did not publish them.However, impeachment memorials still flew towards the Empress Dowager like snowflakes.Upon seeing this, the Shu party could only write memorials for guilt one after another, and no longer went to court to wait for investigation.Of course, because Murong Fu had already hinted at it, although in this memorial he weeps and pleads guilty, he never mentions the word "resignation".Seeing that the Shuodang was full of momentum, the Empress Dowager had no choice but to dig out Fan Chunren, the left minister who had been sick for a long time at home, and let him come forward to make peace.
Sure enough, Fan Chunren was well versed in political struggles from his family background, and immediately told Shuodang: "The Empress Dowager knows you are loyal, and will immediately investigate the situation. It's just that if there is no new evidence of crime to report in this impeachment memorial, there is no need to submit it again." So as not to mislead the government." As a result, the empress dowager's book case finally became quiet.
However, the political struggle in the court has just come to an end, but the battle outside the court has just begun.In October of the fifth year of Yuanyou, Wang Yansou, the backbone of the Shuo Party, who had just taken office as governor of Kaifeng for a month, issued three government orders one after another.First, the "Bianjing Times" was ordered to suspend its publication for rumors and slander of the courtiers, and was ordered to conduct strict investigations; Immediately shut down and dismiss the employees, and the famous Kunqu opera masters involved in the crime were arrested for questioning; third, the boss of "Jinlinlou" was summoned to come to question the crime, and the singing of "Shuo Yue Quan Zhuan" was strictly prohibited in all major restaurants in Bianjing, and the public was encouraged to report.Wang Yansou's new official took office three fires, which burned most of the entertainment in the market, and the people of Bianjing couldn't help but feel in danger.
Kunqu opera and storytelling are entertainment. Since the imperial court doesn't like it, they don't listen to it, and they don't sing it if they don't. The people of the Central Plains have always been very talkative.It's just that it shouldn't be done at all, and the guards in Kaifeng Mansion have committed an old problem again.Went to seal up the editorial department of "Bianjing Times", destroyed printing equipment and beat the editor; went to spread the news that the boss of "Jinlinlou" went to the court, and asked for cards, and blackmailed Jinlinlou; went to "Jinlefang" to order it to close down, see The girls who sang Kunqu opera were as beautiful as flowers, and they even tried to moles them with their hands and feet.Most of the girls hugged each other, shaking with tears.Only Xiang Wanqiu, who has been playing the role of Yue Fei's married wife and "Princess Lingyun" since "Shuo Yue Quan Zhuan" started, is really strong and unwilling to be humiliated.At six o'clock that night, everyone wore white costumes of "Princess Lingyun" and climbed to the top of the third floor of "Jinlefang", shouting: "Pengju, Lingyun will never let you down in this life!" Jumping down, the liver and brain are smeared on the ground, the fragrance disappears and the jade dies.
The news reached Murong Mansion, and Murong Fu was drinking with Zhuge Zhengwo.Seeing that Murong Fu's complexion changed several times, he said after a long time: "Didn't I tell you to pick him up earlier?"
The servant who came to make an interrogation was full of cold sweat, and he replied in a muttered voice: "Xiang everyone walked halfway and found a golden hairpin for singing, and he had to go back to get it, so..." He saw that Murong Fu's face was still sinking, Couldn't help but add another sentence. "This gold hairpin was originally a gift from Lord Yue to Princess Lingyun..."
Murong Fu's expression was suffocated, and he sighed for a long time. "Understood, let Boss Hai find someone to replace Miss Xiang as soon as possible."
The servant answered "Yes" in a low voice, and after a long time said again: "My lord, Mr. Chang, who played Qin Hui, drank dumb medicine!"
"...Understood, I'll find someone to top him too!" Murong Fu paused every single word, his right arm that was supporting the edge of the table trembled unconsciously.
"Yes!" The servant replied again, and walked away without being urged by others.
After an unknown amount of time, Zhuge Zhengwo, who was sitting opposite Murong Fu, finally said: "With two famous actors missing, can this play still be sung?"
"Sing!" Murong Fu said viciously, "It's time for the Empress Dowager to see what "Shuo Yue Quan Zhuan" looks like now!"
Zhuge Zhengwo shook his head lightly, and said in a low voice: "I thought you would not look for an official again." Murong Fu looked for him, hoping to have a conversation with the little emperor through him, and arrange "Shuo Yue Quan Zhuan" in the imperial court. Performed at the Zhengdan Banquet.In this way, he made a statement to the Empress Dowager, told about the domineering of the Shuodang, and brought down the Shuodang.
Murong Fu shook his head and said in a deep voice: "I know he is waiting for me to find him... Since the king has a wish, the subject must be loyal and do his best!" But even though he said this, his tone was extremely frivolous.
Zhuge Zhengwo sighed quietly, and persuaded: "This time, the officials are impatient..."
"No, he's not in a hurry. He's stubborn, mean, short-sighted, and arrogant." Murong Fu still shook his head, "As a king, he doesn't know how to be considerate of his courtiers. Instead, he regards loyal courtiers as pawns and tools. It's a pity. How can such a person be sympathetic to the people far away in the sky? He is still young and should be concentrating on his studies, but he is conceited and clever to set off party disputes to profit from it. This person regards power above all else, and anyone who offends him will turn his face Ruthless. My Shu party is his only ally, but he gave up easily for himself. Brother Zhuge, are you willing to be with such a person? Brother Zhuge, you and I have misread him! Mutually!"
Zhuge Zheng and I couldn't answer anymore, the Shuo party has caused too much trouble these days, and now Xiang everyone, who was deeply loved by the people of Bianjing, committed suicide again, Liu Zhi couldn't cover it anymore.Zhuge Zheng, I know that as soon as "Shuo Yue Quan Zhuan" starts at the Zhengdan banquet, it will be the end of the Shuo Party.Seeing that the court gradually fell under Murong Fu's control, Zhuge Zhengwo finally couldn't help asking: "How are you doing?"
"Me?" Murong Fu sneered and closed his eyes. "My term of office is coming to an end, so I naturally ask for a term to be sent out, and then return to the court to take charge!"
"Return to the court to rule?" Zhuge Zheng felt that these four words had a profound meaning, and couldn't help but secretly startled.
"That's right," Murong Fu continued, his voice was ethereal like the morning mist under the morning sun, erratic when it was about to disperse. "Brother Zhuge, you should know that I am not loyal to the king. But I have to be loyal to the world, so there is no need to worry too much about some things, Brother Zhuge!"
Seeing Murong Fu speak so clearly, Zhuge Zheng let out a long sigh, got up and cupped his fists and said: "Farewell!" After saying that, he turned around and left.
After an unknown amount of time, Murong Fu slowly opened his eyes, frowned slightly and stretched out his hands to cover his heart.He bent down and coughed twice as if he was overwhelmed, and then his body froze suddenly and spurted out a mouthful of blood.Murong Fu coughed twice, took out a silk handkerchief, and gently wiped away the blood splattered on the table.
"Murong!"
When he raised his head, he saw Qiao Feng who appeared at an unknown time, his face was pale and at a loss, his eyes were looking at him without blinking.It seems that as long as he blinks, the Murong Fu in front of him will disappear.
The author has something to say:
Xiao Feng: Damn it!What am I missing again!
Director: Daxia Xiao, at least you didn't miss Murong vomiting blood!
Murong: ...
Shocking!
At this time, the Shuo Party was established in the imperial court, the New Party had been purged, the Luo Party was half-destroyed, and the Shu Party could not shrink back after Su Shi resigned.As soon as Huang Tingjian's impeachment memorial was published, it immediately attracted a group of attacks from the Shuo Party group.

However, the political struggle in the court has just come to an end, but the battle outside the court has just begun.In October of the fifth year of Yuanyou, Wang Yansou, the backbone of the Shuo Party, who had just taken office as governor of Kaifeng for a month, issued three government orders one after another.First, the "Bianjing Times" was ordered to suspend its publication for rumors and slander of the courtiers, and was ordered to conduct strict investigations; Immediately shut down and dismiss the employees, and the famous Kunqu opera masters involved in the crime were arrested for questioning; third, the boss of "Jinlinlou" was summoned to come to question the crime, and the singing of "Shuo Yue Quan Zhuan" was strictly prohibited in all major restaurants in Bianjing, and the public was encouraged to report.Wang Yansou's new official took office three fires, which burned most of the entertainment in the market, and the people of Bianjing couldn't help but feel in danger.
Kunqu opera and storytelling are entertainment. Since the imperial court doesn't like it, they don't listen to it, and they don't sing it if they don't. The people of the Central Plains have always been very talkative.It's just that it shouldn't be done at all, and the guards in Kaifeng Mansion have committed an old problem again.Went to seal up the editorial department of "Bianjing Times", destroyed printing equipment and beat the editor; went to spread the news that the boss of "Jinlinlou" went to the court, and asked for cards, and blackmailed Jinlinlou; went to "Jinlefang" to order it to close down, see The girls who sang Kunqu opera were as beautiful as flowers, and they even tried to moles them with their hands and feet.Most of the girls hugged each other, shaking with tears.Only Xiang Wanqiu, who has been playing the role of Yue Fei's married wife and "Princess Lingyun" since "Shuo Yue Quan Zhuan" started, is really strong and unwilling to be humiliated.At six o'clock that night, everyone wore white costumes of "Princess Lingyun" and climbed to the top of the third floor of "Jinlefang", shouting: "Pengju, Lingyun will never let you down in this life!" Jumping down, the liver and brain are smeared on the ground, the fragrance disappears and the jade dies.
The news reached Murong Mansion, and Murong Fu was drinking with Zhuge Zhengwo.Seeing that Murong Fu's complexion changed several times, he said after a long time: "Didn't I tell you to pick him up earlier?"
The servant who came to make an interrogation was full of cold sweat, and he replied in a muttered voice: "Xiang everyone walked halfway and found a golden hairpin for singing, and he had to go back to get it, so..." He saw that Murong Fu's face was still sinking, Couldn't help but add another sentence. "This gold hairpin was originally a gift from Lord Yue to Princess Lingyun..."
Murong Fu's expression was suffocated, and he sighed for a long time. "Understood, let Boss Hai find someone to replace Miss Xiang as soon as possible."
The servant answered "Yes" in a low voice, and after a long time said again: "My lord, Mr. Chang, who played Qin Hui, drank dumb medicine!"
"...Understood, I'll find someone to top him too!" Murong Fu paused every single word, his right arm that was supporting the edge of the table trembled unconsciously.
"Yes!" The servant replied again, and walked away without being urged by others.
After an unknown amount of time, Zhuge Zhengwo, who was sitting opposite Murong Fu, finally said: "With two famous actors missing, can this play still be sung?"
"Sing!" Murong Fu said viciously, "It's time for the Empress Dowager to see what "Shuo Yue Quan Zhuan" looks like now!"
Zhuge Zhengwo shook his head lightly, and said in a low voice: "I thought you would not look for an official again." Murong Fu looked for him, hoping to have a conversation with the little emperor through him, and arrange "Shuo Yue Quan Zhuan" in the imperial court. Performed at the Zhengdan Banquet.In this way, he made a statement to the Empress Dowager, told about the domineering of the Shuodang, and brought down the Shuodang.
Murong Fu shook his head and said in a deep voice: "I know he is waiting for me to find him... Since the king has a wish, the subject must be loyal and do his best!" But even though he said this, his tone was extremely frivolous.
Zhuge Zhengwo sighed quietly, and persuaded: "This time, the officials are impatient..."
"No, he's not in a hurry. He's stubborn, mean, short-sighted, and arrogant." Murong Fu still shook his head, "As a king, he doesn't know how to be considerate of his courtiers. Instead, he regards loyal courtiers as pawns and tools. It's a pity. How can such a person be sympathetic to the people far away in the sky? He is still young and should be concentrating on his studies, but he is conceited and clever to set off party disputes to profit from it. This person regards power above all else, and anyone who offends him will turn his face Ruthless. My Shu party is his only ally, but he gave up easily for himself. Brother Zhuge, are you willing to be with such a person? Brother Zhuge, you and I have misread him! Mutually!"
Zhuge Zheng and I couldn't answer anymore, the Shuo party has caused too much trouble these days, and now Xiang everyone, who was deeply loved by the people of Bianjing, committed suicide again, Liu Zhi couldn't cover it anymore.Zhuge Zheng, I know that as soon as "Shuo Yue Quan Zhuan" starts at the Zhengdan banquet, it will be the end of the Shuo Party.Seeing that the court gradually fell under Murong Fu's control, Zhuge Zhengwo finally couldn't help asking: "How are you doing?"
"Me?" Murong Fu sneered and closed his eyes. "My term of office is coming to an end, so I naturally ask for a term to be sent out, and then return to the court to take charge!"
"Return to the court to rule?" Zhuge Zheng felt that these four words had a profound meaning, and couldn't help but secretly startled.
"That's right," Murong Fu continued, his voice was ethereal like the morning mist under the morning sun, erratic when it was about to disperse. "Brother Zhuge, you should know that I am not loyal to the king. But I have to be loyal to the world, so there is no need to worry too much about some things, Brother Zhuge!"
Seeing Murong Fu speak so clearly, Zhuge Zheng let out a long sigh, got up and cupped his fists and said: "Farewell!" After saying that, he turned around and left.
After an unknown amount of time, Murong Fu slowly opened his eyes, frowned slightly and stretched out his hands to cover his heart.He bent down and coughed twice as if he was overwhelmed, and then his body froze suddenly and spurted out a mouthful of blood.Murong Fu coughed twice, took out a silk handkerchief, and gently wiped away the blood splattered on the table.
"Murong!"
When he raised his head, he saw Qiao Feng who appeared at an unknown time, his face was pale and at a loss, his eyes were looking at him without blinking.It seems that as long as he blinks, the Murong Fu in front of him will disappear.
The author has something to say:
Xiao Feng: Damn it!What am I missing again!
Director: Daxia Xiao, at least you didn't miss Murong vomiting blood!
Murong: ...
