Su Shi was hanging out with his family and enjoying this rare reunion festival. At this time, he was taken aback when he saw this young man, hurriedly let go of the hand holding his wife, and quickly stepped forward and bowed: "Seen...... This ...... "is naturally the reigning Emperor Zhezong who can make this great gift to the right and right." It's just that the two are seeing each other outside the palace now, Su Shi is honest, but he doesn't know what to call for a while.

"Lord Zhuge and I came out to see the folk style, since it was a chance encounter, the bachelor didn't have to be polite." The little emperor smiled. He has always had a good impression of Su Shi, so he was quite kind when he saw Su Shi.

While speaking, Su Zhe and Murong Fu also stepped forward to greet the little emperor. I only heard Su Zhe say respectfully: "There is a lot of people here, and it is inevitable that it will be dangerous. Why don't you go to a restaurant to sit in? ”

"Jinlin Building!" The little emperor immediately responded, "I ...... Ahem, I've heard its name at home. ”

Since the little emperor ordered it, after a while, everyone was already seated in the box of Jinlin Building. After all, the little emperor has a noble status, and in addition to Zhuge Zhengme, who is trusted by him and serves him safely, the only people who can sit with him are Su Shi, Su Zhe and Murong Fu.

The little emperor and Su Shi can be seen every day in the court, so they don't have anything to say. But it was he who looked at Murong Fu by the light for a while, and suddenly sighed: "Lord Murong has seen a lot of loss, my sister Yiren has passed away, please cherish it." ”

Murong Fu stood up and said in a deep voice, "Thank you, official." In this life, after all, she is a princess of Weichen. ”

The little emperor shook his head and only said: "The chamberlain who passed the decree has already come back to explain the situation, and the grandmother who asked for merit for you has also seen it." This is providential, not to blame adults. ”

Murong Fu sighed again, and said: "It is more profound, the official family leaves the palace late at night, and there should be an extra piece of clothing." ”

The little emperor was stunned when he heard this, and said with a smile for a long time: "I have been weak and sick since I was a child, and my ministers have advised me to be quiet as if I was moving, and my grandmother is not even allowed to ride a sword and shoot a sword. Only Murong Qing is completely different from them, and often advises me to strengthen my physique in letters. It is good to teach Murong Qing that I have learned Murong Qing's method of exercising, exercising every morning for a moment, and now I am good at eating. ”

Murong Fu only smiled slightly when he heard this, and replied: "Kinetic energy gives birth to yang, although the official family has a poor physical foundation, but the acquired good health and recuperation can also be like ordinary people. In Japan, the official family is in charge, and the entire country and society are on the shoulders of the official. If you don't have a good body, how can you bear this burden? "The Northern Song Dynasty was the peak of feudal social civilization, and it was too early to talk about a constitutional monarchy in this era. Murong Fu sincerely hoped that the little emperor would become a wise and wise emperor in the future under his influence.

"Murong Qing is really an understanding person," the Empress Dowager is also very strict with the discipline of the little emperor in controlling the government, and the little emperor has gradually separated from his own grandmother. At this time, when he heard Murong Fu mention the word "pro-government", he recognized that he was the main lord of the world, and he was also very happy in his heart. "Looking back on the past two years, I received letters from Murong Qing every ten years, and heard Murong Qing mention what I had seen and heard, as if I had seen this great river and mountain with my own eyes. The day when Murong Qing wrote the letter was not only the happiest time for my sister, but also the happiest time for me! ”

This time, Murong Fu only looked down at the wine glass in front of him and didn't answer.

The little emperor knew that Murong Fu had always been obsessed with Princess Shushou, but he didn't think he was angry, but turned his head to Su Shi and smiled: "Now that Uncle Lu Hui has resigned and succeeded Lu Weizhong, state affairs have to rely on Lu Qing and Su Qing a lot." ”

Su Shi also hurriedly got up, not even daring.

The little emperor continued with a smile: "In my opinion, Su Xiang is talented, and he is able to govern alone......"

The little emperor praised Su Shi like this, and Su Shi immediately turned red.

But it was Murong Fu's eyes flashing, and he suddenly interjected: "Lu Xiangde was recommended by Lu Sikong and seconded by hundreds of officials, and his appointment as Zuo Xiang was expected by everyone. ”

A few days ago, Murong Fu was still angry because he lost his position as the left minister, but today he actually said that Lu Dafang was what everyone expected, and Su Shi couldn't help but be surprised. Fortunately, although he said that Yu Zheng was really naïve, he was not an idiot in the end, so he immediately endured it and did not talk.

"Everyone's expectation?" But it was the little emperor who was too young to hold his breath after all, and he saw a touch of ruthlessness flashing in his eyes, and he couldn't help but sarcastic. "Lu Weizhong has grandmother's blue eyes, and naturally everyone expects it......"

"The Empress Dowager is already old and should be taking care of her old age, and now she is working so hard for the sake of the official family!" Murong Fu said with a straight face, "The official family should be respectful and courteous to the ministers, and not let the empress dowager worry about it." ”

The little emperor was smart by nature, and soon understood the meaning of Murong Fu's words, and immediately smiled: "Listen to your words, it is better to read ten years of books, thank you Murong Qing for your advice!" ”

Seeing that Murong Fu had already said everything that should be said, Zhuge Zheng and I immediately whispered to the little emperor and suggested that I return to the palace as soon as possible. Su Shi and the others sent the little emperor all the way to the vicinity of Yujie, and then they were ready to go home. When parting, the little emperor, who thought that he had found an alliance, was satisfied, persuaded Murong Fu, who looked depressed, and said: "Murong Qing should also take care of his life and let go of his arms, and don't let his sister Jiuquan worry about you." ”

Murong Fu shook his head with a lonely expression, and said softly: "Since the princess has left the minister, in this life, the minister will also ...... Toilet is also ...... There is nothing else to read......"

As soon as Murong Fu said this, the little emperor was immediately startled, and Zhuge Zheng, who was accompanying the little emperor, couldn't help but glance at Murong Fu deeply. After a long time, the little emperor didn't say anything after all, only sighed lightly, and hurried back to the palace accompanied by Zhuge Zheng.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the palace soon sent an attendant to Murong Mansion to pass down the edict and summon Murong to face the saint.

On the day Murong Fu entered the palace, the Empress Dowager Xiang accompanied the Empress Dowager to summon him in the Qingshou Palace. Seeing Murong Fu, who was dressed in a green official uniform, stepping into the hall under the guidance of the inner attendant, his clear and invincible figure was like a fluttering willow branch planted outside her Longyou Palace, and he couldn't help but sigh slightly to the Queen Mother. It has been more than a month since her daughter passed away, and Empress Dowager Xiang was finally able to accept it calmly, and then she suddenly realized that a talent like Murong Fu is indeed rare, and it is no wonder that Shushou has no regrets.

When the Empress Dowager Xiang came back to her senses, she found that Murong Fu had already performed as a courtesy, and respectfully thanked the Empress Dowager for the grace of the Empress Dowager who sent the Tai Hospital to treat him.

The Empress Dowager looked Murong Fu up and down, and then said slowly: "Murong Qing's body is very good now?" ”

Murong Fu bowed again, and said without humility or arrogance: "Empress Dowager Xie has inquired, and it is already good." ”

"Don't be negligent. You're still young, don't fall ill. Seeing that Murong Fu had lost a lot of weight, the Empress Dowager finally couldn't help but instruct.

"Empress Dowager Xie!" Murong Fu thanked again.

"Shushou is gone, this matter is ...... I can't complain about you...... "There is a kind of twist and turn for Murong Fu because of the Huanzhou murder case, there is the return of the inner servant, and there is also the pulse case of Sun Yuanzheng, and the empress dowager's resentment towards Murong Fu has disappeared. Thinking that he was almost cured for Shushou's serious illness in two games, the Empress Dowager felt a little pity for him. "The mourning family heard that you are ...... because of your longevity I don't want to marry ......"

Murong Fu shook his head and said in a low voice: "Empress Dowager, Weichen is now a former sea of water...... There is no need to mention this matter again. ”

Seeing Murong Fu's firm expression, the Empress Dowager didn't say much, but only said: "The official family is especially studying now, and I think he is very close to you." I have read all your letters, and it is extremely rare to see so much and penetrate them. Since Uncle Cheng Zheng was dismissed, the position of storyteller in Chongzheng Hall is only held by Fan Zuyu, are you willing to be a colleague with Fan Qing's family? ”

The position of storyteller in Chongzheng Hall is only from the official title of Qipin, but the responsibility is to tell the emperor about the history of books, explain the meaning of the scriptures, and prepare consultants. Murong Fu was summoned by the Empress Dowager through the mouth of the little emperor, although it was to keep his official position, but he really never thought that such a big cake would fall on his head. He was extremely satisfied with this official position, but his usual calm and rational reason still made him successfully suppress his joy, and he bowed his head and replied apprehensively: "Wei Chen is only afraid that he has not learned enough and has mistaken the official family." ”

Seeing that Murong Fu was so calm, the Empress Dowager became more and more satisfied, and said kindly: "Your master Su Zizhan is still holding the position of Hanlin attendant, so you, a closed disciple, will come to give your teacher a hand." ”

Murong Fu accepted it when he saw it, and immediately replied in a deep voice: "Obey the decree of the Empress Dowager." ”

"After this year's big exam, the holy decree will be issued. Before that, Murong Qing was recuperating from his illness. The Empress Dowager gave one last instruction, and then ordered Murong Fu to retreat.

When Murong Fu brought back the news that the official had been promoted to the position of storyteller in Chongzheng Palace, everyone was overjoyed. The two brothers, Su Shi and Su Zhe, and Huang Tingjian were secretly glad that Murong Fu had not lost his official position because of Princess Shushou, and as for Wang Yuyan and Azhu Abina, they were purely happy to be reunited with Murong Fu in the capital. Everyone was overjoyed for a while, and Su Shi couldn't help but ask, "Why did the Empress Dowager suddenly have this arrangement?" "Today's Chongzheng Hall storyteller Fan Zuyu has an upright personality, dedication to his duties, but he is also very modest. Even as an imperial teacher, Fan Zuyu always regarded himself as a courtier, although he advised the Son of Heaven, he never pointed fingers at the Empress Dowager and the Little Emperor, and the Empress Dowager and the Little Emperor were very satisfied with him.

Su Shi had this question, if it was before, Murong Fu would definitely answer, "I think the empress dowager values the teacher's knowledge, and the students are also stained with the teacher's light." But at this time, Murong Fu said with a faint expression: "The Empress Dowager has been in power for many years, and she naturally understands the truth that the court cannot let one party dominate, and the same is true for the official family. Fan Zuyu is Lu Sikong's grandson-in-law, and the students were stuffed in it to check and balance. ”

This explanation was like a basin of cold water, which instantly poured out the joyful atmosphere in the hall. Su Shi opened his mouth for a long time, but he didn't know how to refute. Murong Fu added unhurriedly: "Now although Lu Dafang is the left minister, Liu Zhi is still only a Chinese scholar, and the teacher is blocking Liu Zhi's path to advancement, and Liu Zhi's personality will not give up." During this time, teachers should be more careful everywhere to avoid being plotted by others. ”

As soon as Murong Fu said this, Huang Tingjian was furious and retorted loudly: "Although Liu Zhongshu is stubborn, he is very upright, Mingshi, you slander him without evidence like this, it is not a gentleman's doing!" ”

"Whether I'm a slanderer or a visionary, you'll soon know." Murong Fu didn't want to delay on this topic for too long, "Since I have returned to Beijing, the "Bianjing Times" ......"

"The Bianjing Times must not be handed back into your hands!" However, before Murong Fu finished speaking, Huang Tingjian was already angry and grabbed white.

Murong Fu saw that Huang Tingjian's expression was firm, so he was no longer reluctant. As far as Murong Fu is concerned, he does not necessarily have to be the editor-in-chief of the Bianjing Times to control it. I saw him looking at Huang Tingjian gently and shaking his head slightly, his expression was full of tolerance, and then he smiled at Su Shi: "The students have heard that there have been several poetry meetings held by Beiye in Xiping, and the ministers of the court and the scholars who went to the court are proud of being famous at the poetry meeting. The students happened to encounter several tricky things when they were officials in Xiping, and they were going to hold a debate meeting with other businesses, and they also asked the teacher to take the time to cheer for the students. ”

"Debate?" Su Shi said strangely, "What kind of meeting is this?" ”

"Then the teacher will know." Murong Fu smiled but did not answer.

Su Shi looked at Murong Fu with curiosity for a long time, but Murong Fu remained indifferent. In the end, it was still Su Shi who was defeated, and I saw him say sullenly: "It's getting late, Akashi, you should rest early." With that, he left Murong Mansion dejectedly.

As soon as Su Shi left, Huang Tingjian immediately followed, but Su Zhe did not move. After the two left, Su Zhefang, who had always remained silent, said quietly: "Akashi, you didn't tell the truth. ”

Murong Fu's expression remained unchanged, and he asked casually, "Why did Uncle Shi say this?" ”

However, as soon as his voice fell, Zhuge Zheng, who also always sat with him, also spoke: "Akashi, is it worth exchanging your life for the position of storyteller in the Chongzheng Palace?" ”

Su Zhe sat up in shock and said continuously: "What does this mean? What does this mean? ”

Zhuge Zheng turned his head and glanced at Murong Fu, but seeing that Murong Fu had no intention of stopping him, he immediately said: "Akashi said in front of the official family that the princess died of illness, and he no longer thinks about his life's affairs. I think it is precisely because of this promise that the Empress Dowager treats Akashi so kindly. ”

After Zhuge finished speaking, everyone in the hall was dumbfounded at the same time. I don't know how long it took, Wang Yuyan suddenly cried "wow". "Cousin, why do you have to ...... yourself like this"

Murong Fu shook his head calmly, his eyes swept over Su Zhe, Zhuge Zhengme, Qiao Feng, Wang Yuyan, Deng Baichuan and his wife, Gongye Qian, Bao Wei, and Azhu Abi, and said in a deep voice: "The princess died because of me, how can the royal family allow my high-ranking official Houlu to marry and have children again?" Yu Yan, this is not my cousin's self-suffering, but if you have gains, you will have to lose. ”

Qiao Feng's face turned blue and white for a while, and suddenly the old words were brought up. "Murong, it's better to ......"

"There is no turning back when you open the bow!" Murong Fu knew what he was going to say as soon as he saw Qiao Feng's eyes, and interrupted him immediately. "We've come this far, and there's no reason to stop there. …… Besides, Brother Qiao should know that I am not a person who loves the power of the stack, and when I achieve my wish to resign and return to my hometown, I want three wives and four concubines and children and grandchildren, and the official family can still issue an order for me to divorce my wife? ”

When Murong Fu said this, everyone had nothing to say, and the atmosphere suddenly became impatiently calm. I don't know how long it took, Zhuge Zheng and I suddenly asked in an ominous voice: "I don't know what wish Akashi climbs to achieve?" "The success standard of the people of the future world is the flower candle in the cave house, the title of the gold list, and the double satisfaction of personal ambition and family happiness. Like Murong Fu, who sacrifices his life for the future, this kind of courage to cut and break is really one in ten thousand, if you are not a great loyalty, you are a traitor!

Murong Fu glanced at Zhuge Zheng, as if he felt the inquiry in his words, only to see that he was silent for a long time and suddenly smiled softly. What kind of smile is that? Cold and arrogant, swallowing mountains and rivers. "Moyo is...... Where the rivers go and the sun and the moon come, they are all my concubines in China! ”
