Xu was because he didn't talk to the little emperor for more than half a sentence, and Murong Fu had returned to his mansion not long after. Seeing that Murong Fu's complexion was not good, Ah Bi wanted to persuade him to go back to the room to rest, but before she could speak, Murong Fu had already said first: "Ah Bi, go and send the sorted name card to the study." "After Murong returned to Beijing, although he feasted guests for several days, it was impossible to invite all the people in the officialdom. Otherwise, I am afraid that the imperial case of the little emperor will already be full of impeachment notes for his party and personal plots. Therefore, officials with heads and faces are fortunate to attend the banquet and write poems to enjoy their aspirations; As for those middle- and low-level officials who are still up and down in the Huan Sea, they can only submit their names, hoping that Murong Fuqing will fall in love with them.

As soon as Murong Fu mentioned official business, Abiton knew that he didn't have to bother with his words, so he immediately looked at Murong Fu worriedly, and bent his knees and answered "yes". When Ah Bi sent the sorted out name card to Murong Fu's study, Murong Fu had already spread out the map on the west side on the table, obviously thinking about what he was planning. Ah Bi moved her lips, as if she wanted to say something, but after a while, she finally endured it, and instead ordered the kitchen to prepare tea for Murong Fu.

After a few days, Murong Fu finally resumed his normal routine. Go up and down, make friends with officials at all levels, handle all kinds of official affairs, get up at the beginning of every day, and rest at three o'clock every night. Ah Bi gritted her teeth hatefully, but seeing that Murong Fu was busy with a big war next year, she had no choice but to put the red ginseng into all of Murong Fu's food.

After five days, Murong Fu finally saw a famous post that was enough to attract his attention in the pile of famous posts that were classified as "not urgent and not important". Just because the name listed on that famous post is: Dali Zhennan Wang Shizi Duan.

Murong Fu pinched the famous post and pondered for a long time, and finally got up and called Abi. "When was this name card delivered?"

Ah Bi frowned and thought for a moment and replied: "It was sent on the third day after Gongzi Ye returned to Beijing, saying that he asked Gongzi Ye to help find the missing King of Zhennan in the Central Plains. Seeing that this matter should be the duty of the Privy Council, and the king of Zhennan has been missing for a year, Abi ......, "It is not Murong Fu's duty, Duan Zhengchun has been missing for a long time, maybe the corpse has been sold as adult meat buns." This famous post was naturally classified by Abi as "not urgent and unimportant". Speaking of this, Abi couldn't help but feel apprehensive. "Son, is it Abi who delayed your big event?"

"Don't be nervous!" Murong Fu couldn't help but smile when he heard this, and pressed the back of Abi's hand. "The most important thing right now is indeed the battle situation in the west, and you are not mistaken. But now that the Lord has come to the door, this matter can also be laid out. "The New Year is approaching, and Murong Fushi doesn't want to see any accidents other than Western Xia on Zhengdan, which makes him lose the first hand." In this way, you will send a letter to this prince of Zhennan, saying that he will be invited to come to Murong Mansion at two o'clock tomorrow......"

Unexpectedly, before Murong Fu finished speaking, Ah Bi had already whispered: "Son, this time was originally set to meet Mr. Qin and Mr. Chao, but the agreement has been postponed three times and cannot be postponed any longer!" ”

"Oooh, remember." Murong Fu nodded again and again, and said busily. "Then it's about noon!"

"All Tang Poems" took eight years to finally compile, a total of more than 200,000 poems, which can be said to be a net of all the poems handed down in the Tang Dynasty. Such a grand event in the literary world is enough to go down in history, Qin Guan and Chao Buzhi are naturally excited, and they are anxious to print this "All Tang Poems" and pass the world. However, Murong Fu repeatedly delayed, only saying that it was not the right time, how could he not let these two literati who were indeed famous in history be anxious? Now that Murong Fu has returned to Beijing for more than half a month, Qin Guan and Chao Buzhi can endure until tomorrow to see him again, this friendship between the same family is really deep!

How did Abi know that when he heard this, he glared at Murong Fu, and said dissatisfiedly: "Son, you don't need to eat?" Although Ah Bi doesn't understand government affairs, she knows Murong Fu very well, and knows that once he is busy with official business, he will forget to sleep and eat, so she is naturally not happy to arrange guests for Murong Fu at lunchtime.

Murong Fu saw Abi's resolute attitude and suddenly knew that there was no need to bother with his tongue, so Abi chattered endlessly, and he immediately said: "Then ask the prince to accompany me for a light meal!" ”

can eat at the same table with Murong Fu, the big celebrity in front of the Empress Dowager, Duan Yu will naturally not refuse. At noon on the second day, he took Gao Changshi of Zhennan Wangfu to Murong Mansion to meet him.

This Gao Changshi, who accompanied Duan Yu, is the nephew of Gao Zhisheng, the prime minister of Dali, and compared with Duan Yu, the naïve son of the king of Zhennan, Gao Changshi is obviously more familiar with the rules of officialdom. He originally thought that this so-called lunch invitation was just a polite remark, but when he arrived at Murong Mansion with Duan Yu, he simply met Murong Fu and explained his identity, Murong Fu directly led the two of them to the restaurant, and said with a smile: "Coarse tea and light rice, the two of you are casual." With that, he sat down first.

Gao Changshi couldn't help but be slightly stunned when he saw Murong Fu acting so resolutely, but Duan Yu had been a little informal in the rivers and lakes for a long time, and immediately thanked him and sat down opposite Murong Fu.

Murong Fu said that it was a coarse tea and light rice, but in fact, this light meal was not simple. After the servants served eight plates and sixteen plates one after another, and poured wine for the three people on the table, Murong Fufang smiled and said, "Duan Shizi, I already know about the disappearance of King Lingzun Zhennan. The official has a question here, and he asks Duan Shizi to give him advice! ”

Murong Fu said it so politely, Duan Yu hurriedly got up and bowed deeply. "I must know everything and say everything!"

"Sit, sit!" Murong Fu smiled and squeezed Duan Yu weakly. "Dali belongs to my Great Song Dynasty, and all affairs should be handled by the Privy Council. The official is not in the Privy Council, how did Duan Shizi cast his name on the official mansion? ”

Gao Changshi immediately smiled when he heard this: "Lord Murong, the Holy Family is ...... "The disappearance of King Zhennan should seek help from the Privy Council, how can Gao Changshi not know?" He knew in his heart that Murong Fu's question was just trying to ask for a bribe by taking advantage of the presence of the Holy Family.

Knowing that he was halfway through his words, Duan Yu had already stopped him and confessed: "Don't hide it from Lord Murong, there is a righteous brother who knows a little bit about the political situation in the Great Song Dynasty, and it was he who instructed him to come down to find Lord Murong for help." ”

Duan Yu was so honest that Murong was stunned when he was restored. Gao Changshi's expectation was good, Murong Fu did ask this question to ask for a bribe. His position does not involve the Privy Council, and Duan Yu wants him to interfere in the official affairs of others, so he naturally wants to take some benefits to help him settle the officials of the Privy Council. Can't let Murong Fu run for Duan Yu out of his own pocket, wouldn't it be a big eye-catcher? How do you know that Duan Yu doesn't know anything about the unspoken rules of officialdom, so he should tell the truth.

"Brother Righteousness?" I saw Murong Fu look at Duan Yu sideways for a moment, then put down the wine glass and smiled. "But the former beggar gang leader Xiao Feng?"

Before Murong Fu's words fell, Abi's arm on the side trembled slightly, and he actually spilled the fragrant ginseng soup on the table. "Childe forgive your sins!" She hurriedly bent her knees slightly.

Murong Fu naturally wouldn't blame Ah Bi for this trivial matter, but waited for Ah Bi to clean up the mess and ordered: "Go down first!" As he spoke, he turned his head and apologized to the two guests. Country and village servants, rough hands and feet, forgive me! ”

Duan Yu's nature/love beauty is weak, seeing that Abi is gentle and delicate, and when he speaks, he faintly has a Jiangnan accent that is more glutinous and soft and crispy, which is already a good feeling. Hearing what Murong Fu said at this time, he couldn't help but speak out to argue for Ah Bi: "Lord Murong, the women in Jiangnan are as soft as water, how can they be said to be rude? ”

As soon as Duan Yu said this, Murong Fu's face turned cold. He has been in the top position for a long time, and his face is unhappy at this time, and the two of them suddenly feel that the atmosphere is heavy and sweaty. After a long time, Duan Yufang heard Murong Fu say coldly: "My maid has been by my side since she was a child, please forgive Duan Shizi for not being able to cut his love!" ”

Duan Yu heard this sentence clearly before he realized that it was really inappropriate for him to praise Ah Bi in this kind of scene, only to see his cheeks flushed, his hands shaking wildly, and he stammered: "Misunderstanding!" Misunderstand! Lord Murong, I have no intention of doing this on the day of the Heavenly Oath! ”

Gao Changshi was also sweating, and hurriedly got up to apologize for Duan Yu and said: "My lord, forgive me, the son of the world has been addicted to poetry and books since he was a child. What Fang just said is only for the bottom of his heart, and there is no other intention! Seeing that Murong Fu was still colorless, Gao Changshi immediately turned his heart sideways, and knelt down in front of Murong Fu with a puff and begged. The king of Zhennan has been missing for more than a year, and the prince and the prince are deeply concerned day and night, and dare to ask the adults for help! ”

Gao Changshi made this big gift, Murong Fu's expression was a little gloomy, and at the moment, he put aside Duan Yu, who was sitting on the side like a wooden chicken, and only turned his head to Gao Changshi and said slowly: "Lord Changshi doesn't have to be like this, please get up quickly!" ”

Gao Changshi knelt down, naturally wanting to maximize his interests, and immediately looked at Murong Fu. To be honest, Gao Changshi and King Zhennan don't have a deep relationship. Duan Zhengchun likes to have fun and indulge in martial arts, and has a close relationship with the four generals around him, so he naturally looks down on him, a weak scholar who is powerless. However, it is precisely because Duan Zhengchun's personality is too much like a faint monarch that his uncle Gao Zhisheng values him more, and he is determined to use Duan Zhengchun to replace his brother Duan Zhengming's throne, so that the Gao family can continue to control the political situation in Dali. Since Gao Zhisheng had an order to try to find Duan Zhengchun, Gao Changshi had to work hard.

Murong Fu was not used to being coerced, so he immediately snorted coldly and did not answer.

Gao Changshi didn't know how to step down, but Duan Yu was really straightforward by nature, and at this time he also got up and said, "Please help!" So saying, he lifted his robe and knelt down.

Duan Yu is the prince of Dali and the future lord of Dali, and only the little emperor in the Great Song Dynasty can be worshiped by him. Where could Murong Fu make Duan Yu kneel on him, hurriedly reached out to support the other party, and sighed helplessly: "The prince is pure filial piety, it's just that, how can this official sit idly by?" ”

Duan Yu was immediately overjoyed when he heard this, and sat back in his position under Murong Fu's greeting, and explained Duan Zhengchun's disappearance in detail, and finally sighed: "Uncle wrote to the court at the beginning of the year to ask for help, but then he ......" However, Duan Zhengchun disappeared by himself after visiting the Great Song Dynasty in private, not because of official duties. This matter is not about the national body, how could Fan Chun bother to find him? Duan Yu obviously understood this truth, and couldn't help but shake his head gloomily. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, he came to the capital to see Lord Fan of Zuo Xiang, who was busy with official business, and left in a hurry in the second half of the hour. In the next day, he went to see the right minister, Lord Su, but Lord Su said that the Privy Council was not his duty...... If it weren't for Lord Murong returning to Beijing in time, I really don't know what to do! ”

Duan Yu's words obviously violated the taboo of officialdom again. He searched everywhere for help, and if he finally found someone, whose credit should he have? But now, Murong Fu already knows Duan Yu's temperament, and he really doesn't bother to teach him. Quan Dang never heard the prefixes of "left phase" and "right phase", and only went straight to the ground: "Shizi, please forgive this official for being blunt." The disappearance of King Zhennan that the prince said is really unsubstantiated! ”

When Duan Yu heard this, he immediately said urgently: "No matter how filial you are, you don't dare to lie about your father's safety!" My father did disappear after the Shaolin Conference, and it's true! ”

"The prince has misunderstood!" Seeing that Duan Yu was about to point to the sky again, Murong Fu hurriedly stopped him. "What this official means is that the prince thinks that the king of Zhennan is missing, but for the king of Zhennan himself, is it also missing?"

"What do you mean by ......," Duan Yu couldn't help but look at the other party in a daze when he heard this.

"The Great Song Dynasty is a treasure, and the king of Zhennan is not happy?" Murong Fu said softly. "The prince also said that the martial arts of the king of Zhennan and the guards around him are very good, and ordinary gangsters are afraid that they will not be able to get close. What's more, the king of Zhennan has a noble status, and it is impossible for him to make any enemies in the Great Song Dynasty, so he has to take his life. After thinking about it, the biggest possibility is that the king of Zhennan is unwilling to return to Dali. ”

Duan Yu and Gao Changshi listened to Murong Fu's analysis, and immediately thought of Duan Zhengchun's nature of chasing flowers and nectar, and the two of them couldn't answer at the same time. After a long time, Gao Chang Shi Fang perked up and said: "No matter how good the Great Song Dynasty is, the prince is the king of Zhennan after all, and he won't be so unexplained!" ”

"However, you can't come up with any evidence to prove that the king of Zhennan can't help but can't return to Dali, not that he doesn't want to go back to Dali. Don't say that Fan Xiang and Su Xiang won't care about this matter, even if the Zhengdan Dynasty explicitly told the Empress Dowager and the official family, they won't care either. "Murong Fu is categorical.

Hearing Murong Fu mention the Zhengdan Dynasty, Duan Yu was immediately at a loss. This time, the envoy sent by Dali was Duan Yu, and he had already thought about asking the Empress Dowager and the official family to help find someone. Unexpectedly, before this idea was realized, Murong Fu had already told him bluntly: Impossible! "Why?" Duan Yu couldn't help but ask incoherently, "I, Dali Guo, have always been respectful to the Great Song Dynasty......

"According to the historical records, the Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people! In other words, the Son of Heaven has no more privileges than the common people, let alone the king of Zhennan? Since the prince could not prove that something happened to King Zhennan, the government could not intervene in the whereabouts of King Zhennan. "Murong Fuzheng said.

Murong Fu's words made Gao Changshi's eyes roll in a straight way. He didn't believe that in case the Great Song Emperor was lost, Murong Fu would be able to sit here and say something "There is no evidence, you can't interfere." Nonsense like that. However, as soon as he wanted to refute it, he suddenly thought that if Murong Fu really didn't want to interfere, why would he invite this light meal? …… It seems that if you want to ask this Lord Murong to do something, this price is definitely not low! Gao Changshi only sighed secretly in his heart, and then calmed down and waited for Murong Fu's next words.

Murong Fu really said again: "What the prince can do now is to return to Dali and wait patiently for the king of Zhennan to return to the palace by himself." Or ......"

"What?" Duan Yu couldn't wait to ask.

"The prince can send someone to try to find out the whereabouts of the king of Zhennan, and in the next two years, he will patrol all roads across the country, and he has a lot of friendship with the Taishou in various places, but he can write to the prince for convenience!" Murong Fu stretched out his sleeves and continued nonchalantly. "Since the king of Zhennan likes martial arts, maybe he went to find a master outside the world on a whim. The affairs of the rivers and lakes require the help of six doors. ”

Duan Yu's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said: "One qiē, it's all up to Lord Lai!" If you can find your father, Duan Yu will be grateful! ”

After convincing Duan Yu not to show the Empress Dowager and the official family about Duan Zhengchun's disappearance in the Zhengdan Dynasty, the time had already reached three o'clock in the afternoon. The seventeen or eighteen dishes on the dining table were insulated by hot water, but they were already slightly cold and could not be eaten at this time. Murong Fu only drank a little ginseng soup and got up and returned to the study, dismissing his official duties without distractions.

After a while, Abi stepped forward to instruct the servants to clean up the wine and food. Unbeknownst to him, as soon as one of the servants' hand touched the wine glass on Murong Fu's position, the wine glass suddenly made a crisp "click" sound, and it was split in an instant!

"Miss Abi, this, this ......" The servant immediately looked at Abi in confusion. The villain didn't use any force! ”

Abi knew that this wine glass was cracked by Murong Fu's internal force. That internal force was both domineering and forbearing, although it had already shook this wine glass into tens of millions of pieces, but on the surface, there was no scar. Until an external force touches it, the true face is revealed. "It's none of your business," Abi shook her head to reassure the servant. "It's none of your business......" But having said that, her tears couldn't help but fall.
