The news of the change of the new emperor of the Liao State came in the middle of May of the third year of Shaosheng, and at the same time came the news that the prime minister of the Liao State, Yelu Yixin, was executed, and the news that Xiao Feng, the king of the Southern Court of the Liao State, died of illness.

At that time, Bao Wei still stayed in Bianjing and did not leave, and his heart sank when he saw the three pieces of news sent by the secret agents of the Liao State. was thinking about how to appease his son-in-law, but Murong Fu put down the secret report and suddenly laughed to himself, and said softly: "The eldest brother is really the eldest brother......

"Childe!" Bao Wei saw that Murong Fu could still laugh, and even his voice changed all of a sudden.

"The eldest brother is not dead, it is Yelu Hongji who is dead." Murong Fu didn't look at the difference, he just closed his eyes and pondered. "The king of the Southern Courtyard died of illness rather than a violent death...... It seems that the new emperor of Liao is not easy to get along with! ”

The historical Yelu Juncong * Da should have been a good heir. However, in the second year after his mother Xiao Guanyin was given death, he was also framed by Yelu Yixin and deposed by Yelu Hongji as a concubine, and finally died at the hands of Yelu Yixin. Unexpectedly, this time, because of Xiao Feng, Yelujun turned over. And this is the last thing Murong Fu wants to see.

In the first year of Shaosheng, Murong Fu Zhengzuo promised Abi to accompany her to the sea ten years later. This promise is never a word, and the ten-year covenant does not come out of nowhere, but the best arrangement after careful consideration by Murong Fu. When he ascended to the stage, Murong Fu would be thirty, and he would only be forty years in power, and he would be in the prime of life. However, counting the time that the Shu Party was in power in the court, the entire Great Song Dynasty court has been operating under the will of Murong Fu for nearly twenty years, and the government and the opposition are looking sideways as if they are on the edge of the abyss. And Murong Fu has no intention of usurping the throne, and it should be a truth that he must understand to withdraw in time after becoming famous.

So why 10 years instead of 8 or 15 years? Because ten years later, it was the best time for the Great Song Dynasty to raise troops to destroy the Great Liao. Today's Great Song Dynasty is in the hands of Murong Fu, although he dare not say that it is changing with each passing day, he has gradually turned losses into profits. And it is precisely because of Yelu Hongji, the faint monarch of the Great Liao in the north, that the national strength is declining day by day. Murong Fu spent ten years to rectify the rule of officials, revitalize the national strength, reform the army, and improve combat effectiveness, and it was logical that the Great Song Dynasty would destroy the Liao State ten years later. During his tenure, Murong Fu Pingxi Xia, Pingda Liao, and Dali received the three great miracles in hand, which not only saved his net worth and life, but also proved to the world that the reforms he presided over were effective, and only in this way could he ensure that others would continue to govern in the future.

And now, Yelu Hongji is dead, and Da Liao has changed to a new emperor who is not promising, but at least not mediocre. The national situation of Song and Liao is no longer the one that Murong Fu likes to see, but has entered a stage of strategic stalemate. In this way, all the layouts set by Murong Fu in Daliao have to be readjusted, and the length of his term as prime minister has to be reconsidered.

But Bao Fei was immediately startled when he heard Murong Fu's words, and hurriedly whispered: "What does Gongzi mean...... Xiao Feng killed Yelu Hongji? ”

Murong Fu glanced at Bao Wei and nodded slowly. He was worried about the adjustment of the deployment of the Liao State in the future, and he really had no intention of exploring the inside story of Xiao Feng's killing of Yelu Hongji. In particular, these words can't be mentioned with Bao, lest he scold Xiao Feng for "disaster water" and make his ears unclear.

Unexpectedly, Bao Wei knocked the folding fan in his hand on the palm of his hand, and praised repeatedly: "Happy!" Joyfully! This Yelu Hongji is mediocre and incompetent, and he should have been killed with a knife a long time ago! Joyfully! This is what our heroes do! ”

I almost forgot that the third brother Bao is also a hero...... Murong Fu complained silently. Although he didn't want to listen to Bao Wei's number of Xiao Feng, he obviously didn't like to hear Bao Wei praise him for killing well, so he had to immediately turn around and ask: "Is there any news about Daddy's whereabouts?" ”

Speaking of Murong Bo, Bao Wei could only sigh. Murong Bo has long been crazy, how can the actions of a madman be figured out by a normal person? And to find a madman in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack. More than a month has passed since Murong Fu received the news and found out that Murong Bo was missing. An old madman who has no ability to take care of himself at all and has lost his martial arts will die in a certain place silently, and he is not sure whether he is different.

Murong Fu had already guessed the answer as soon as he saw Bao Wei's expression of wanting to stop talking, nodded immediately, and said indifferently: "Keep looking." After a pause, I added. Live or die! ”

The last four words twitched his eyebrows, and he was silent for a few breaths before answering in a low voice, "Yes". Bao Wei had the heart to ask Murong Fu what he thought of Murong Bo's biological father, but the question rolled around his throat twice and finally swallowed back.

It was only because of the changes in the Liao State that Murong Fu had to take time out of his daily government affairs in the next few days to summon the chief shopkeeper of Huitong Qianzhuang to understand the current development of Huitong Qianzhuang in Liao, and by the way, he inquired about the movements of Liao. Since Xiao Yuanshan had dug up the ancestral grave of the Murong family, Murong Fu believed that handing over the evidence to Cai Jing would definitely not be their only action. Of course, after these things were done, Murong Fu had to exchange letters with the generals of the Western Army to discuss the defense of the north. There are also officials in the palace...... Oh, he doesn't have to know these little things.

Speaking of Zhao Xu, another defeat at the hands of Murong Fu obviously made him very depressed, and he called him sick as usual. Murong Fu also wrote a condolence note and sent it to the palace as usual, and then he was busy with the logistics of sending troops to Dali by the two armies of Chong and Qu.

Zhao Xu, who was sick, saw Murong Fu's condolence recital in the vertical arch hall as usual, and reading the same greeting, Zhao Xu couldn't help but feel irritable again. The weather is getting hotter, and the entire vertical arch hall is like an impenetrable cage, teaching Zhao Xu to be depressed and depressed and have nothing to do. After reading a few copies, he had no intention of reading them again, so he casually threw them aside.

At this time, half a month has passed since Murong Fu's physical evidence of rebellion was sent to Dali Temple, although Dali Temple has not closed the case so far, but Zhao Xu has already guessed the final outcome. There is a tone set to the Empress Dowager, Dali Temple Qing Fan is purely from the side, Murong Fu's intention to rebel is naturally unsubstantiated, and Cai Jing, who presented the evidence, will be detained for a crime of falsely accusing the prime minister, and will be removed from office and demoted from Bianjing. According to the original unspoken rules of officialdom, if a court member is impeached, he should hand in his resignation as usual to avoid suspicion and stay at home to show his innocence. But this time, the case in Dali Temple has not yet been closed, and Murong Fu, as a suspect, has not said anything at all, and works as usual every day, not to mention any resignation.

Murong Mingshi is so unscrupulous, it is clear that he does not have any eyes in his eyes! Realizing this, Zhao Xu's face turned even darker. Murong Fu was scheming, when he got the evidence that day, I shouldn't be in a hurry to force him to jump over the wall, but should carefully plan to let Tai Ji impeach him! It's just that after thinking about it again, all the impeachments in Taiwan over the years must have real evidence, and no matter how good it was in the past, Zhao Xu couldn't help but sigh discouragedly.

The waiter standing on the side observed the words and looks, and saw that Zhao Xu had no intention of government affairs, so he took a step forward and whispered: "Official, the lotus flowers in the imperial garden are blooming well, why don't the officials go and relax?" ”

The waiter's words were said to Zhao Xu's heart, and he nodded after a while of silence: "Swing!" ”

After a while, a group of palace maids sat down in a pavilion next to the imperial garden with Zhao Xu. The attendants kept pouring out the fruit wine to Zhao Xu, the palace maids brought fans to fan him for the wind and cool off, and the courtesans of the Jiaofang Division also quickly came to perform for him. From ancient times to the present, I don't know how many people have the dream of being an emperor, in addition to the dream of power, being able to get this unparalleled enjoyment is naturally one of the reasons.

Zhao Xu, accompanied by his new favorite Zhang Jieyu, enjoyed the unparalleled singing and dancing wine in the world, and as expected, he gradually became fascinated and no longer had a headache for not having authority. As the song and dance performances took turns, the sky gradually darkened, and many palace maids picked up glass lamps to hang around. The fireflies are lit, and the entire imperial garden is set off like a fairyland on earth.

With such a beautiful scenery, Zhao Xu was smoky and drunk, but in the depths of the imperial garden, there was a sudden loud shout from the royal front class: "What person!" Get out! ”

Zhao Xu frowned and looked at it with displeasure, only to see an old man with white hair and tattered clothes walking out from behind the rockery slowly.

"Who? The Imperial Palace, how can you break in? Although the old man looked in no danger, Ban Zhi still pointed a knife at him with a calm face. The emperor's imperial garden is not the backyard of an ordinary farmhouse, and people come and go freely. Since this old man can break through the guards and come here, it must not be easy!

This Ban Zhizhi guessed correctly, the slow-moving, scattered-eyed, and dazed old man in front of him was none other than Murong Bo! Murong Bo had already gone mad, and although Xiao Yuanshan had helped him recover his martial arts, his sanity had never been sober. He listened to Xiao Yuanshan's trick to come to Bianjing to kill the emperor and become the emperor himself. It's a pity that the idea is beautiful, and the reality is skinny. A delirious madman, after leaving the Swallow Dock, has forgotten his original intention before he has walked two miles. However, Murong Bo spent his life running and calculating for his dream of becoming an emperor, even if he was ultimately insane, he always fantasized about becoming an emperor. It can be said that being an emperor has long been his lifelong obsession, and although he is crazy, he has never forgotten his obsession. In the past month or so, he has been sometimes sober and sometimes crazy, he has been bullied as a fool, he has robbed people of food like a beggar, and he has also beaten to death a ruffian hooligan with great might, and he has been crazy and crazy for half of the Great Song Dynasty, and finally came to the palace!

The strange old man in front of him refused to answer, only looked at himself strangely. The leading Ban Zhi didn't know why his heart was furious, and he shouted at the moment: "Take it!" ”

As soon as he gave the order, the two subordinates beside him pounced like wolves. I thought it would be easy to take down a gray-haired old man, but everyone only heard two "bangs", and the two Ban Zhi who pounced on him each slapped their chests, and their sternums collapsed and vomited blood and died.

Murong Bo's martial arts were so high that he took two lives in an instant, and the scene was immediately quiet. After a while, the group came to his senses and shouted, "Escort! There are assassins, take over! ”

This exclamation immediately caused chaos in the Imperial Garden. The weak palace maids cried in panic, and the clever chamberlain pulled the pale-faced Zhao Xu and turned his head and ran, hearing the cry from all directions, the imperial front squad and the inner guards fought with Murong Bo again.

Murong Bo originally killed the two just to protect himself, but the straight "escort" reminded him of the purpose of this trip again. I saw that his originally scattered eyes immediately froze, and his expression seemed to be angry and crazy, and he shouted: "Emperor! Where is the Dog Emperor? I am the emperor! As he spoke, he unleashed several palms, and the guards who were rushing towards him like sea water instantly became thinner.

Murong Bo is both crazy and brave, at the moment of life and death, who has time to talk to him? Those Banzhi guards who rushed to escort the car loyally and bravely charged forward with swords and guns, trying to kill Murong Bo on the spot; The clever ones had already seen that Murong Bo's martial arts were strong, and they were not able to resist these ordinary martial artists, so they simply turned their heads and fled to the apse with Zhao Xu.

However, although Murong Bo couldn't recognize which emperor was, he instinctively fought bravely towards the place with the most crowds. He is skilled in martial arts, knows no pain and is not afraid of death, and he is invincible along the way. In a short time, the corpses of the Banzhi guards who surrounded him had fallen to the ground, and he himself gradually forced towards Zhao Xu.

Seeing that Murong Bo was only a few feet away from him, and the bloody aura on his body was already rushing to his face, Zhao Xu was only so frightened that his face turned pale and his legs went weak, and he continued to run away under the support of seven or eight class attendants, and he couldn't stop crying in his mouth, "Escort!" Hurry up! ”

It's a pity that by this time, the Banzhi guards who could come had almost been killed by Murong Bo, and the other Ouchi guards who hadn't been able to arrive were out of reach. I saw that Murong Bo was murderous, his ruthless gaze was like an eagle falcon firmly locked on Zhao Xu, and he killed two royal fronts one by one with a merciless palm in his hand.

Blood was splashed, dead bodies were all over the ground, and even Zhao Xu's face and body were splashed with a lot of blood, and this scene was like purgatory on earth. And Murong Bo was still muttering to himself: "Kill you, I will be the emperor!" Dayan will return to the country! Before the words fell, he raised his palm again and slapped it at Zhao Xu.

Seeing that the imperial front class had all died, and the attendants around him had long since disappeared, Zhao Xu only thought that this palm was going to knock him to the ground, and his body was on the spot. Unexpectedly, at this moment, a crimson figure flashed in front of him, and it was Zhuge Zheng, the leader of the six gates, who fell from the sky and caught Murong Bo's palm.

It wasn't until Zhuge Zheng and I fought with Murong Bo for hundreds of moves that Zhao Xu, who was paralyzed on the ground, slowly came back to his senses, and cried out heartbreakingly: "Zhuge Qing's family, escort!" ”

Zhuge is fighting with Murong Bo in danger, so naturally he has no time to pay attention to him. But it was a six-door master who was walking with Zhuge Zheng and me who stood in front of Zhao Xu, and said awe-inspiringly: "Don't worry, the death of Weichen will not let the assassin hurt a cold hair of the official family!" ”

In an instant, Zhuge Zheng and I had already fought with Murong Bo for hundreds of moves. After all, Murong Bo had gone through a hard battle, and his internal breath was insufficient, so he gradually fell behind. After a hundred moves, Zhuge Zheng and I had already figured out the details of Murong Bo's martial arts, and slapped the other party's heart with one palm. Murong Bo immediately spurted out a mouthful of blood, and the whole person flew upside down like a broken kite and slammed into the rockery on the side, killing him on the spot.

Zhuge Zheng and I breathed a sigh of relief, flicked his sleeves back in front of Zhao Xu, knelt down and saluted: "Weichen is late to save the car, and I ask the official family to forgive me!" ”

At this time, even the forbidden army had arrived to surround Zhao Xu, but the leader was Huang Qian, who had cooperated with Murong Fu to rescue Princess Shushou. It's just that more than ten years have passed, and the original Marquis Yu has already accumulated merit and been promoted to the commander of the capital. Zhao Xu was rescued by Zhuge Zheng and me, and he was very grateful in his heart, so he hurriedly stepped forward to help him up in person, and cried: "Thanks to the Qing family!" Zhao Xu's face was already covered with blood, and at this moment, tears flowed down his face, and his face was confused, and he was even more embarrassed.

"This place is dirty, please go back to Funing Hall quickly!" Zhuge Zheng said again.

It's a pity that Zhao Xu almost died and remembered his instinct as an emperor, so he only shook his head and said in a dark voice: "Who sent this assassin?" ”

Zhuge Zheng couldn't help but suffocate slightly when he heard this, and was silent for a while before replying in a low voice: "Qiqi official, Wei Chen looks at this assassin is delirious, I am afraid that he is a madman who does not know the height of the sky, and no one may instruct him." ”

Before he could finish speaking, the six door masters who were walking with him actually whispered: "Wei Chen looks at the martial arts used by that assassin, but it looks like the family martial arts of the Gusu Murong clan. ”

"Zhu Yong, how can the emperor be right?" Zhuge Zheng shouted loudly at the moment. It turned out that this six-door master named Zhu Yong was originally a secret agent sent by Zhuge Zhengme to Daliao, and not long ago, he had just found out that Yelu Hongji did not die in a hunting accident, but was killed by his crown prince. Zhuge Zheng praised his merits, so he decided to bring him to face the saint to invite him for credit. Unexpectedly, this Zhu Yong was really clever, and he hugged Zhao Xu's thigh in an instant.

With Zhu Yong's words, Zhao Xu instantly remembered the words "Great Yan Restoration" mentioned by Murong Bo just now, and asked coldly at the moment: "But it has something to do with Murong Fu?" ”

Zhuge Zheng and Murong Fu are good friends, and they are busy defending him. "Official, the assassin's martial arts are mixed, don't be rash!"

New hatred and old hatred are intertwined, but Zhao Xu can't listen to anyone's advice anymore, so he only shouts loudly: "Huang Qian! I order you to immediately order all your troops and horses to arrest the traitor Murong Fu! The whole city of Bianjing City is under martial law, if one person escapes, you will come to see you! ”
