"So, what exactly do the officials want to do?" Two hours later, Qin Guanduan who heard the news came and sat in Murong Fu's study, which was half destroyed, lost in thought.

Zong Ze also rushed over, he pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Brother Shaoyou, you should say 'What is there in Funing Hall?'!" After a pause, he whispered again. "Akashi has not been married so far. If the government arranges a young and beautiful court lady to wait for Akashi...whether it is a gift from the heavenly family or a messy harem is just a matter of the government's thoughts?"

As soon as Zong Ze said this, Qin Guan, Chao Buzhi, and Zhang Lei were terrified and speechless.Although the three bachelors are not good at strategy, they are not stupid. They naturally know that the Shu Party is respected in the court, and the Shu Party is respected by Murong Fu.As the emperor, the officials didn't think about how to win over and make the Shu party wholeheartedly loyal. Instead, they used this secret trick to try to control the courtiers. This kind of pattern is really lamentable.

Unexpectedly, Zhuge Zhengwo, the commander of the six gates, suddenly said with a constipated face: "Ever since it was rumored years ago that the palace wanted to find a nurse to imply that the officials were indulging in sensuality, the Empress Dowager has ordered the Funing Hall to be cleaned up. All the ladies in the palace have been transferred away."

As soon as Zhuge Zhengwo said this, Zong Ze and the other four were immediately dumbfounded.After an unknown amount of time, Qin Guan turned his head tremblingly to look at the soft couch behind him.At the center of the topic, Murong Fu was lying unconscious on a soft couch, and his elder brother Qiao Feng was staring at him with his pulse on his pulse.Xu Shi was sick and haggard, but Qin Guan could rarely see soft lines on Murong Fu's usually resolute face.Recalling just now when Murong Fu smashed up half of the study room and fainted from anger, he couldn't help muttering: "Could it be...Could it be..."

But at this time, Murong Fu sat up straight from the soft couch as if he was a corpse, and asked with a sullen face like a ghost: "Could it be what?"

Qin Guan glared at Murong Fu, swallowed in horror, and shook his head hastily.

Fortunately, Murong Fu didn't need his answer, so he clutched his heart and jumped down from the soft couch, and scolded fiercely as he walked around the study: "Fun Lord! Shame on you!" Luo, another punch hit the round table where everyone was sitting.There was a crisp sound of "click", and half of the rosewood round tabletop fell off immediately.

Seeing Murong Fu's pale face and trembling all over, Qiao Feng couldn't help reaching out his hand to grab him and said, "Okay, calm down! If you get dizzy again, I can only ask Brother Bao to go to the doctor." Here, Qiao Feng couldn't help but frowned worriedly. "Ever since you were injured by Tianshan Child Elder, your pulse is not as good as before. You will faint every now and then, but what should you do? Murong, in my opinion, you should resign early and take good care of your body!" Qiao Feng didn't want to delve into it The little emperor's real intention of prescribing Murong Fu, he only knew that if this matter was publicized, only Murong Fu would be ruined.

Murong Fu pressed his chest and took two long breaths, closed his eyes and adjusted his breath for a while, the cyanosis on his lips dissipated slightly. "Resign? I've come this far with great difficulty, and elder brother wants me to resign?" Murong Fu's tone was cold and full of sarcasm. "Just because of a foolish king, you want me to give up the goal I have fought so far? Why?"

Seeing that Murong Fu was furious, Qiao Feng immediately stopped talking.

However, Zong Ze and the other four felt sorry for Murong Fu's rebellious words. They all worked hard for decades since they tied their hair and studied until they won the laurel in the Toad Palace. Could it be that they were doing it for officials they had never met?Because I have a great ambition for the country and the people in my heart!

But Zhuge Zhengwo spent far more time with the little emperor than Murong Fu, and I know his character better.Back then, Murong Fu himself said that because of Princess Shushou, he did not want to remarry. Both the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager said it was "rare". Since then, Murong Fu has been different in the little emperor's heart.Thinking of this, Zhuge Zheng and I couldn't help defending the little emperor in a low voice: "Mingshi, the officials have always appreciated your affection for Princess Shushou... Maybe..."

"Maybe what?" Before he could finish speaking, Murong Fu roared again. "Zhuge Xiaohua, what nonsense are you talking about? According to you, if the person waiting for me today is a maid without salt, I should feel deeply humiliated; but if he comes out in person, I should be flattered and thank the Lord for your kindness? Zhuge Xiaohua , you and I read books of sages and sages, why did you read like a slave?"

Zhuge Zhengwo's eyes went dark, and he said for a while, "You know that's not what I meant... At a time like this, it's even more important to calmly analyze all possibilities and find the best way to deal with it."

"Then, you want to persuade me to believe that he is sincere? As long as he is sincere, he can be forgiven?" Murong Fu couldn't help laughing loudly, but the laughter was full of contempt and ridicule, which made people feel chills. "I didn't know that sincerity is so precious! The dead can become alive, and the wrong can become right? Then has his sincerity ever thought about what he did, how should I deal with it? People are full of calculations and selfishness, even if they are sincere, they are really disgusting!"

Zhuge Zheng and I knew that he was in a fit of anger, so I tried my best not to provoke him, and continued, holding back my anger: "Today's incident is indeed the official's fault, maybe he acted biased, maybe he couldn't tell the difference between appreciation and admiration. He is still young, he should be well guided..."

Murong Fu sneered, every word was squeezed out between his teeth. "How to guide? What do you want me to do? Go into the palace now, hug him, kiss him, and tell him, the official family, in fact, I have always loved you! Then I will be his courtier during the day and concubine at night?" said At this point, Murong Fu couldn't bear it any longer and hurriedly got up from the seat, pointing at Zhuge Zhengwo and roaring. "Zhuge Xiaohua, since you are so loyal, do what you want!"

Zhuge Zheng me immediately fell back, was about to refute but saw Murong Fu's face turned pale for an instant, and fell back into the chair on his back clutching his chest.

"Murong!" Qiao Feng cried out in shock, he put his arm around Murong Fu's shoulder hastily, and rested his other hand on his vest to adjust his breath.He frowned again and said to Zhuge Zheng. "Brother Zhuge, please don't say a few words!"

"Yes! Yes!" Qiao Feng finished speaking, and Zong Ze and the three scholars agreed in unison.Seeing Murong Fu losing control of his emotions, they were really afraid that he would make them faint again. "Let's say one less thing!"

Zhuge Zhengwo's anger level instantly exploded, and he clapped the table and said, "Qiao Feng, just coax him! Coax him to become more and more angry, his health is getting worse, and he can't even analyze calmly!"

When mentioning Murong Fu's body, Qiao Feng fell silent for a moment.In the past two years, Murong Fu's body has indeed deteriorated greatly, so that Qiao Feng couldn't bear to disobey him.But Murong Fu gasped for a while, and said slowly: "No matter how calmly I analyze, no matter what is in Funing Palace, it is impossible for me and the officials to go back to the past!"

Zhuge Zheng and I also knew that what Murong Fu said was reasonable, but he still couldn't help asking about his responsibility. "Murong, how are you doing?"

Murong Fu snorted coldly, and said slowly: "Since he is shameless, just kick him away! Do you really think this court can't do without him?" On the surface, the reform of the bureaucracy is to refine the officials The responsibilities of the emperor strengthened the imperial power, but in fact it made the division of imperial power and ministerial power more clear.If the emperor is strong, he can naturally lead the officials to follow what he says; but if the emperor is weak, then the officials act according to the law, and the emperor has no room to intervene.Since the little emperor is so selfish and stupid, Murong Fu only left him with the function of a rubber stamp.If he still doesn't give up, then Murong Fu doesn't even mind to do it for him.

As soon as Murong Fu said this, everyone panicked even more.After a long time, Qin Guanfang cried a little: "Junior brother, the rebellion is to punish the nine clans..." How can it be justified for a courtier to rebel for the sake of chastity?

"Brother, where do you want to go?" Murong Fu glanced at him helplessly, and said in a deep voice. "Junior Brother just thinks that it's better for our official family to focus on the harem."

It turned out that he just wanted to be a powerful minister!Everyone looked at Murong Fu's resolute and victorious expression, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.The ancients were taught to be loyal to the emperor and patriotic by reading sage books since childhood, but are they really loyal to the emperor?This point is actually debatable.Being able to get close to the emperor, the aura of the protagonist on the emperor will gradually disappear.Stripped of this halo, the emperor is also a human being.Whether wise or stupid, clever or stupid, all in the eyes of the princes of the court.If the emperor is a Mingjun, it is natural that Mingjun's virtuous ministers will be the most desirable.But if the emperor is a lonely and foolish emperor, it would be more cost-effective to be Han Qi, who is "the hero of the two dynasties".

Three days later, Murong Fu went to the palace to give lectures to the little emperor as usual, but he waited for a long time in the Chongzheng Hall but never got the little emperor.Murong Fu was feeling impatient, a servant next to the little emperor walked in from outside the hall, and whispered: "Lord Murong, the officials ordered you to meet him at the martial arts arena."

Murong Fu raised his eyebrows noncommittally, and said after a long time: "Please lead the way."

On the martial arts arena, the little emperor is practicing archery.Seeing Murong Fu approaching, he unhurriedly shot another arrow into the bull's eye, then turned his head and said casually: "I have been fascinated by archery these days, and for a moment I forgot that Murong Qing was still advocating politics." Waiting in the palace. Don't blame the Qing family!"

"I don't dare!" Murong Fu replied flatly, he didn't care that he was left out in the cold.

Seeing Murong Fu being so flattered and humiliated, the little emperor felt a little uncomfortable, he pulled himself together after a long time, and forced a smile, "I wonder if Murong Qing knows how to shoot?"

"Ritual, music, archery and numbering are the six arts of a gentleman, and the humble minister naturally understands it." Murong Fu replied neither humble nor overbearing.The little emperor really didn't understand Murong Fu. Murong Fu came from time travel, and he never worshiped the king in his heart.If the little emperor can be a wise king, Murong Fu will appreciate it and will do his best to help.It's a pity that his nature is doomed that he can only be a mean and ungrateful fool, so in Murong Fu's eyes, this 16-year-old boy is nothing more than an annoying brat.The little emperor wanted to see Murong Fu's panicked expression because of the emperor's deliberate neglect, it was really a dream!

"Oh?" The little emperor looked unpredictable, obviously he didn't quite believe what Murong Fu said.He lowered his head and pulled the bowstring, suddenly smiled and said: "In that case, would Murong Qing demonstrate a thing or two for me?"

Murong Fu lowered his head and glanced at the half-stone bow sent directly from the Imperial Palace, and ordered: "Go and get the six-stone strong bow, and move the target back two hundred steps."

Murong Fu made such a request, not only the little emperor was shocked, even Yuqian Dianzhi also changed color.Leaving aside the fact that the little emperor was young and weak, he only used a soft bow, and the target distance was no more than thirty paces.Most of the hard skills they use in front of the hall and in the halls are one-and-a-half to two-stone hard kung fu, and it is outstanding if they can not miss the target after a hundred steps.Even Huang Qian, the Marquis of Yu, who had made great achievements a few years ago, claimed to be invincible in defeating the imperial army, but he could only open a four-stone bow.Murong Fu, a civil servant, wants a six-stone bow, if he doesn't know how to use it, then he is a real person who doesn't show his face.

The Dianzhi hesitated for a moment, and the little emperor ordered displeasedly: "Go quickly?" The little emperor didn't believe that Murong Fu could open the six-stone bow, and he just waited to see his jokes.

"Yes!" The Dianzhi hurriedly responded, and quickly fetched the six-stone bow that had been in the warehouse for many years, and ordered his subordinates to move the target back two hundred steps.

The archery target was not very big, only a small black dot could be faintly seen two hundred paces away.Murong Fu didn't care about it at all, he just tried the bow string unhurriedly, and said clearly: "This bow hasn't been used for a long time, right? The bow string still needs to be adjusted."

The little emperor was laughing secretly at Murong's pretending to be pretending, and said immediately after hearing this: "Why don't you change to a lighter bow, Murong Qing, what do you think?"

"It doesn't matter, I know how to adjust it." Murong Fu shook his head indifferently, and tightened the bowstring by himself.Then, his legs were shoulder-width apart, and with a light twist of his fingers, a long arrow that was originally held in his palm was placed on the bowstring. "Officials, in the way of archery, you must be careful, steady in hand, and accurate in sight. All three are indispensable. As long as you have firm beliefs and gather momentum..." I saw him slowly pulling the bowstring like embracing the full moon while he was speaking. In an instant, his whole person's aura was instantly tense, as if he had transformed from a feeble scholar who had no strength to restrain a chicken to an invincible general. "Then it will be invincible and invincible!"

The little emperor could only hear the sound of "hum" from the bowstring, and the arrow left the string immediately.The long arrow galloped like a white rainbow piercing the sun, instantly piercing through the bull's-eye that was [-] paces away, and then piercing through a big tree behind the target without exhaustion, blasting the trunk out of a bowl-sized tree with a bang. until it was nailed hard into the ground, and the eagle feathers were still trembling unceasingly.

Murong Fu casually put down his long bow, bowed deeply to the little emperor, and said in a deep voice: "Officials, it's getting late, I'll take my leave!" After finishing speaking, he walked away.

The little emperor's complexion turned black and blue and then reddish purple. After a long time, he gritted his teeth and said, "Go and bring that target up for me to see!"

The servant next to the little emperor hurriedly answered "Yes" when he heard the words, and rushed over to carry the archery target over.Seeing that the red bull's-eye on the archery target had now turned into a round hole, the little emperor's expression couldn't help but change again.After an unknown amount of time, he suddenly stretched out his hand to tentatively touch the round hole, but as soon as his fingers touched the target surface, the hardwood target surface instantly shattered.The little emperor didn't know the internal reason, but thought that the servant had smashed the arrow target, and immediately became furious, and kicked the servant over. "You're a fool! You can't even hold an archery target! What use are you! What use are you!" He casually grabbed the soft bow hanging at the side and swiped at the servant.

Seeing the little emperor's fury, the servant immediately lost his wits, threw himself on the ground, hugged his head and cried repeatedly: "The official has mercy! The official has mercy!"

Dianzhi next to the little emperor was a knowledgeable person. Seeing that the little emperor was making a fuss, he hastily stepped forward to persuade him: "Calm down the anger of the officials! I didn't blame the chief of this matter! If the subordinates did not make mistakes, Master Murong is practicing internal kung fu, just now when he shot an arrow, the target was already shattered."

Only then did the little emperor retract his legs, and glared at the waiter angrily. Seeing his disheveled face, tears and snot, he couldn't help being even more disgusted, and said: "Where is Tong Guan? He has been ill for a few days, has he died?" Half a year ago, the Empress Dowager cleaned up the maids and servants around him, and Tong Guan was the only one who satisfied him.Unexpectedly, the plan for Murong Fu failed that day, Tong Guan said that his heart hurts and he asked for leave.The little emperor secretly thought that Tong Guan's physical illness was fake and his mental illness was real, lest the empress dowager would know that he was going to kill him first and last.

Hearing the words, the maid hurriedly knelt up with sobs, tried her best to suppress the terrified tone and replied: "Go back to the official's house...Tong Daban...Tong Daban him..."

"Speak up if you have something to say!" The little emperor was in a displeased mood, how could he have the leisure to wait for the waiter to dawdle.

The servant was startled and hurriedly said: "Back to the official's house, Tong Daban suddenly vomited blood last night. The imperial doctor couldn't find out the reason and was helpless. In the middle of the night, he suddenly vomited out a few pieces of meat...dead...dead!"

As soon as the waiter said this, the little emperor immediately thought of the palm that Murong Fu pushed Tong Guan away that day.His face turned blue, and the soft bow that was originally in his hand slipped down in an instant.

After Murong Fu bid farewell to the little emperor, he was not in a hurry to leave the palace, but instead went to the Qingshou Palace to meet the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager sighed when she saw Murong Fu, she just shook her head and said: "Murong Qing, do you know that your proposal is really treasonous?"

Murong Fu smiled nonchalantly, and said: "But the Empress Dowager also knows that this is the only way! The royal family has always been frugal, Emperor Renzong didn't even give up a bowl of mutton soup, and the Empress Dowager also patrols the imperial dining room from time to time so as not to waste it. But Even so, the national treasury is drying up day by day. I can't help but ask, since there are virtuous ministers under the emperor, why can't they earn money? Where did the money go?"

This is not the first time the Empress Dowager heard Murong Fu say this, she immediately shook her head and sighed: "Buddhism and Taoism are powerful, if you want to destroy Buddhism and Taoism to dig money, I'm afraid you will be accused by thousands of people and never recover!" Ning Reform, Emperor Shenzong and Wang Anshi only stared at the little copper in the gentry's pocket.However, which one is a fool who can become an official?No matter how loyal they are to the emperor and the country, they will not spend their legal income to be loyal to the emperor. Naturally, they will transfer the burden of spending money to the common people.However, both Emperor Shenzong and Wang Anshi forgot that apart from the gentry, there were also Buddhism and Taoism that did not pay taxes.Monks and Taoists don't pay taxes but get rich and rich, and they have no power in the court.Now that the imperial court is short of money, who else can they turn to?

Murong Fu also shook his head when he heard the words, and said softly: "Empress Dowager, my minister is not trying to destroy Buddhism and Taoism, but to clean up the sects of Buddhism and Taoism! The royal family's wise and holy virtues set an example for the world, if there is such a monstrous monk in the world, Daoism has polluted the pure land of Buddhism and Taoism. It is time for the royal family to clean up the gods and bodhisattvas. This kind of behavior is not only not to offend the gods and bodhisattvas, but also to protect the gods and bodhisattvas! Could it be that the gods and bodhisattvas have seen that their ashram has become a place to hide filth? Will they be happy in a dirty place? If all the gods and Buddhas in the sky know my royal painstaking efforts, they will definitely bless my Song Dynasty with prosperity!"

Murong Fu discussed this topic with the Empress Dowager countless times, until the last sentence finally moved the Empress Dowager.She pondered for a long time, and finally replied slowly: "I'm afraid that nothing will happen, and the purity of Buddhism and Taoism will be disturbed, and the common people will complain a lot."

"So this matter should be handled by my minister! Please give the empress dowager a one-year deadline to visit the two schools of Buddhism and Taoism, and wait for the evidence of crime to be confirmed before attacking. At the same time, for those holy places of Buddhism and Taoism that are really clean, the empress dowager A decree should also be issued for rewards. With such clear rewards and punishments, the people must be convinced! What's more..." Speaking of this, Murong Fu suddenly smiled slyly and said in a low voice. "I think that the head teacher and abbot of Guangu Temple must be a master of Taoism. If he knows that there is a violation of the precepts under his sect, he will thank the royal family for reminding him. How can he be angry? As long as the sin of sin is washed away, the Buddha The two gates of Dao are still bright!"

When Murong Fu spoke so clearly, the Empress Dowager nodded slightly immediately.The Empress Dowager is well aware of Murong Fu's skills, since he has plans, he might as well give it a try.After all, every time I went back to pay respects to the Buddha, seeing those big monks all glowing red, fat and strong, the Empress Dowager was not very comfortable.Thinking of this, she couldn't help sighing softly: "Time flies, and Murong Qing's term of office is about to expire, it's time to make a move..."

In the spring of the seventh year of Yuanyou, Murong Fu's position as a storyteller in the Chongzheng Palace expired after a three-year term and passed the examination with excellent performance.

The author has something to say:

Director: Mr. Murong, you are now at the fourth rank, Zipao!Are you happy?

Murong: Yuanyou has been seven years... so heavy!
