Chapter 77: The princess is seriously ill
Facts have proved that it is extremely easy to appease the seed master, but the difficult thing is how to deal with the famous western military god seed. Murong Fu originally thought that as long as he handed over the formula of the β‘β‘ and comprehensively improved the technical level of using gunpowder in the Great Song Dynasty, he would be ecstatic.
Murong Fu is so naΓ―ve!
Instead of being happy when he saw the formula of the black/fire/potion and the various ways to use it, his anger, which was originally only five points, immediately rose to ten, and he only pointed at Murong Fu's nose and scolded: "Little brute! If you have this ability, you didn't take it out early, and the dignified court officials ran to play with the common people in the rivers and lakes, and you were stupid to practice martial arts! "With a twist of his fingers, he sprayed Qiao Feng again." He's stupid, and you're going to be stupid? Don't you know how to persuade? How do you become a helper? β
In the face of the sky-high anger, Qiao Feng and Murong Fu couldn't help but look at each other and swallow speechlessly.
Five days later, Murong Fu, who could no longer bear the seeding, dragged his internal injuries that had not yet healed and fled back to Xiping overnight. As for Qiao Feng, who has always been knowledgeable and reasonable, this time instead of stopping him, he ran away with Murong Fu. Just because every time he scolded Murong Fu with a sentence of "little brute", he would inevitably sit down with a "little rabbit cub", and if the seed master came to persuade him, he could take another sentence of "evil obstacles". Murong Fu was injured and pretended to be faint when he was in a hurry, and the seed master ran away early under the pretext that he was in military affairs, only Qiao Feng's injuries were healed, and there was no army to listen to the whole scene, it was really dark.
Poor North Qiao Feng and South Murong are two heroes, but they can't show their skills at all in front of the cultivation strategy, and they only relaxed a little when they ran all the way to the boundary of Weizhou, and found a restaurant to eat and rest at random. After three rounds of wine and five flavors, Qiao Feng recalled the dire waters of the past few days, and finally couldn't help but sigh: "The cultivation is slightly heroic and full of spirit, ah......" This sigh is mixed with five flavors, I don't know whether it is joy or worry.
Murong Fu poked the white bun in front of him with chopsticks, and said boredly: "Our grandfather, we can eat three catties of soy sauce beef and drink two jars of wine in one meal, and we are still early to die!" β
"Yes......" Thinking back to the past few days, Qiao Feng felt heavy. However, halfway through his words, he suddenly came to his senses, realizing that he was really disloyal and unfilial to sigh about the commander of the Western Army, so he said with a straight face: "Murong, I am also worried about your safety. β
In fact, there is only one theme for the successive scolding in the past few days - why do you know that Tianshan Tong's grandmother can't afford to provoke her, but she doesn't know how to use Yan Yanjun?
Murong Fu nodded silently and replied, "I know...... It's just that Tianshan Tong's martial arts are good, if I hide in the Yan army, I will inevitably hurt the lives of the soldiers. "With the martial arts cultivation of Tianshan Tong's almost anti-heaven martial arts, it is enough for one person to resist a million masters. Murong Fu concealed the Seed Master Dao and Qiao Feng to lure Tianshan Tong's grandmother away, because he didn't want Yan Yanjun to become Tianshan Tong's slaughterhouse.
Qiao Feng naturally understood Murong Fu's intentions, and immediately held his hand and said, "Your benevolence and cultivation strategy are also understood. The military is busy, but even so, you have come to see it twice during the time you were unconscious. β
Murong Fu withdrew his hand coldly, looked at Qiao Feng with blazing eyes, and said with a smile: "Brother Qiao, do I seem to be such an immature person in your eyes?" Do you want to work Brother Qiao to talk to me and the scriptures? β
Murong Fu's rhetorical sentence was extremely serious, but Qiao Feng quickly grabbed Murong Fu's wrist stretched out to the wine altar, and replied expressionlessly: "If you can be obedient and don't drink until you recover from your injury, then it's even better." β
Seeing that Qiao Feng saw through his intentions, Murong Fu only felt a fever on his face, and after a long time, Fang Qiang smiled and said, "Brother Qiao, it's tasteless to drink alone!" β
"The foolish brother is shy in his pocket, this little wine is only enough for himself to enjoy, and he really can't afford to invite a virtuous brother. Please forgive me! Qiao Feng remained unmoved.
Murong Fu walked like a wolf, and when he left Huanzhou, he was rarely penniless. Now seeing Qiao Feng say such shameless words with such an upright attitude, Murong Fu was stunned for a moment. It wasn't until Qiao Feng took the initiative to let go of his wrist and brought a bowl of mutton soup to him with his own hands that Murong Fu finally came back to his senses and said, "Qiao Feng, can you say this kind of thing?" β
Qiao Feng replied calmly: "The man's husband is above board, and he has nothing to say to others, let alone between you and me?" β
Wear! Uppercase clothes! Murong was angry when he was restored.
Seeing this, Qiao Feng smiled and persuaded: "In my opinion, you should drink soup!" When we return to Xiping, if your injuries have not improved, the teachings will be seen......
Before Murong Fu left Xiping, Min Zhong told him that he must come back within two months. Unexpectedly, Murong Fu was seriously injured by Tianshan Tong's grandmother, and it was a month to lie down, plus the time spent on trying the case before, when Murong Fu returned to Xiping, the time was almost three months. Thinking of Min Zhong's coffin face and his ability to poke people's sore spots, Murong didn't even think about the wine when he reappeared, and only sighed melancholy.
Murong Fu did not expect that when he returned to Xiping, he was greeted not by Min Zhong's coffin face, but by the Empress Dowager's decree. The scenes of eunuchs delivering decrees, which are common in modern TV movies, were actually rare in ancient times. Ancient times also had ancient rules, and sometimes ancient times were more disciplined than modern times. The Heavenly Family directly sent a eunuch to pass on the decree to an eight-rank sesame official, which was really a big violation of the strict hierarchy in ancient times. Normally, the normal process of proclamation in ancient times was for a superior official to hand over the decree to a subordinate official. Those who can labor eunuchs appear to deliver the decree are all treated only by the henchmen of the heavenly family. Murong Fu has only been in Xiping for two years, and he has not even experienced the three-year big exam, and at this time, he was also surprised to see that there were eunuchs from the inner court who came all the way to deliver the decree. However, the edict did not say much about the reason, but only ordered Murong Fu to return to Bianjing to face the saint. After completing the process of receiving the order and sending a rich red envelope, Murong Fu said honestly and unceremoniously: "Dare to ask the cabinet chief, why did the Empress Dowager order her officials to return to Beijing?" β
The waiter who came to announce the decree saw Murong Fu's confused appearance, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and then he looked at both sides without saying anything.
Murong Fu waved his hand knowingly, and after a while, the officials who accompanied Murong Fu to receive the order in the county government retreated like flowing water.
Only then did the chamberlain step forward and whisper in Murong Fu's ear: "Lord Murong, Princess Shushou is seriously ill, and Tete begs the Empress Dowager to summon you back to Beijing to meet you." β
Murong Fu was immediately taken aback when he heard this, and immediately said, "How can this be? What did the Imperial Doctor say? "Princess Shushou is in the prime of her life, and if the Empress Dowager can issue a decree to summon him back to Beijing to meet, it must be a bad situation.
"Lord Murong, this heart disease still needs a heart medicine!" This chamberlain has served by the side of the Empress Dowager for many years and has always been loyal. At this time, seeing that Murong Fu was still out of the matter, he couldn't help but look slightly cold and dissatisfied. I could only hear him say in a long voice in a standard eunuch voice: "Her Royal Highness the princess's handwritten letter, have you ever read it?" β
Murong Fu was reminded by the chamberlain, and hurriedly said, "Pavilion Chief, wait a minute!" As he spoke, he strode towards the inner courtyard, shouting as he walked, "Duanxian, Zhang Duanxian, do you have my letter recently?" β
Zhang Wenjie, who was named, hurriedly ran out of his own room. "Back to my lord, three months ago, the Shunfeng Dart Bureau sent a letter, and my subordinates put it in my lord's study."
Murong Fu, who got the answer, rushed straight to the study. In the study, there is indeed an unopened letter, which is from the capital. Murong Fu corresponded with the little emperor for two years, and there were a total of ten correspondence. In these letters, most of the talks are about national events, rivers and lakes, except for daily greetings, there is never a word or a half of Princess Shushou. And Princess Shushou also abides by the palace rules, and never let the little emperor bring a word for her. Until this epistle.
When I opened the letter, I saw that although the hairpin font was delicate and elegant, it faintly revealed a bit of eagerness between the strokes. The content of the few lines of the letter is very simple. At the beginning of the third year of Yuan You, another batch of new science and technology scholars was newly released, and the empress dowager intended to choose a good son-in-law among these new science and technology scholars for Princess Shushou. Princess Shushou had no master, so she couldn't help but write to Murong Fu, hoping that he could think of a way.
Over the years, Murong Fu's shipping business has grown more and more, and even the running ship business in the Great Song Dynasty has been respected by him. There are Murong family's fast boats and the beggars' gang's Shunfeng Dart Bureau to relay the letter, in the past, Murong Fu's letter from Xiping to the palace, it only took twenty days. And Princess Shushou's letter was delivered three months ago, but within these three months, Murong Fu happened to leave Xiping and had never seen this letter. What has happened in the past three months? Why did the princess get seriously ill?
Thinking of this, Murong Fu's eyebrows twitched. I saw him casually stuff this letter into his arms, then pushed the door out, and instructed Zhang Wenjie, who was already waiting outside his study: "Duanxian, I will leave for Beijing now, and the affairs in Xiping County will be handled by you and Lord Min for the time being!" Without waiting for the other party to answer, he had already picked up Zhang Wenjie, who was following the steps of the light work, and walked to the chamberlain who had announced the decree. Cabinet Chief, the matter is urgent, and allow the subordinate to take the first step. The matter of the cabinet chief's return trip is arranged by Zhang Wenjie, farewell! β
Murong Fu was so resolute and said that he would leave, when did the chamberlain see this posture, and he was stunned on the spot for a while. When he came back to his senses and wanted to talk, Murong Fu had already given him up again and disappeared outside the door. "This ...... This ......" The six gods of the inner servant had no master, and turned his head to look at Zhang Wenjie, who was running towards him.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Wenjie passed by him without squinting, and shouted loudly: "Qiao Zhuangshi! Joe Gang Leader! Our adults have returned to Beijing, and he has brought nothing! Joe's Gang Leader ......"
"I already know." Qiao Feng strode in from the outer hall with a helpless expression, obviously having met with Murong Fu and roughly knew what was going on. "I'll go and sort out a few clothes for your lord, you go and prepare silver taels, and I'll chase after you."
It wasn't until Qiao Feng's horse's hooves gradually disappeared that a retinue of the forbidden army beside the chamberlain stepped forward and reminded in a whisper: "Father-in-law, I have to go back to reply to the decree, if it's too late......" This officialdom rule has always been that the eunuch will return to the palace to reply to the decree first, and then the official who receives the decree will face the saint. If this order is reversed, and if it is not in accordance with the rules and does not speak of it, the eunuch in charge of transmitting the decree will inevitably be regarded as lazy and lazy by the officials.
With a word from the forbidden soldier, the attendant who announced the decree finally came to his senses and shouted: "Ouch! This! This! Why are you still stunned? Hurry up and chase it! β
The chamberlain was rushing out with people in a hurry, but Min Zhong suddenly greeted him again, grabbed his wrist and said with a smile: "Don't blame the pavilion chief, Lord Murong has always acted vigorously and resolutely, and he is not negligent. If the cabinet chief is in a hurry to go back to reply to the order, the lower official will order someone to send the cabinet chief to Weihe, and he will be able to catch up with Lord Murong. β
The chamberlain gently pinched the hardness of the purse that Min Zhong had stuffed into his hand, and a smile appeared on his face. "In this way, there will be work."
"Don't dare! Can't! Min Zhong, who had always had a coffin face in front of Murong Fu, smiled like a flower at the moment, and he sighed gloomily with a look of embarrassment and apprehension. Before leaving, there is something to teach the cabinet chief to know. Three months ago, there were several murderers in Huanzhou, and Lord Murong was ordered to go to Huanzhou to investigate the case, and he only came back today, not because he deliberately missed the major events of the Empress Dowager and the official family. β
The chamberlain took the short hand, and immediately replied with a sudden realization: "I see! When our family returns to the palace, we will definitely explain this matter to the Empress Dowager and the official family, and my lord will be relieved. β
Min Zhong breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and ordered someone to change the fast horses for these eunuchs and forbidden soldiers who had passed the decree, and chased after Murong Fu and Qiao Feng.
