135. The Empress Dowager died

In March of the ninth year of Yuan You, the Empress Dowager became critically ill. On the night of the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, she woke up from a coma for several days, and she knew that she couldn't afford it, so she urgently summoned the little emperor Zhao Xu to explain the future.

In the back cabinet of the Qingshou Palace, the Empress Dowager was lying at the head of the bed panting with difficulty, and hissed: "Official, grandmother is going to see your imperial grandfather......"

When the little emperor heard this, he hurriedly persuaded: "Grandmother, don't say that, it's just that she is a little sick, and your grandmother will be well for a few days." He said this sentence bluntly and without emotion, obviously knowing that the Empress Dowager was about to go west, and he was no longer willing to be perfunctory.

The Empress Dowager has been through ups and downs for a long time, and she doesn't know what the little emperor thinks in her heart. I saw her gasp for a while, and then said: "Official, you have been an emperor for ten years, but these ten years ...... In the past ten years, the real emperor is your grandmother, and you have to do everything according to your grandmother's orders, you ...... You must be very angry and hate your grandmother, don't you? ”

The little emperor shook his head and said with a smile: "Grandmother is the emperor for me, it hurts me, for fear that I will be tired." The employment is for the grandmother, the holy decree is given by the grandmother, and the child is idle, so what's the difference? How dare you blame your grandmother? ”

The little emperor's sneering words made the empress dowager cough again and again, but this time, the little emperor only looked at it coldly, and he didn't even bother to pretend to persuade him.

The Empress Dowager coughed for a while, Fang gasped, and saw her eyes staring at the top of the tent in a daze, and said quietly: "You are radical and arbitrary, you have been hating me in your heart all these years, I ...... Don't I know? …… It's just a grandson, even if you hate me, you can't affect the people of the world! ”

The little emperor sneered, and said slowly: "Grandmother has to say everything at once, and ...... in the future" Speaking of this, he couldn't help but stop with a little horror, but the deep meaning in these words can be tasted even by a fool.

The Empress Dowager was about to die and did not want to be angry about this subsection, so she only seized the last bit of time to hiss: "Official, as the saying goes, it is difficult to start a business and it is even more difficult to keep a business. It's just that he was impatient and misused Wang Anshi, so the whole country was boiling and almost caused a great change. I know, you're not convinced. As soon as the old body dies, you have to rush to pro-government, change your course, and use the new law. But in this world, things often can't be done quickly, and they are in a hurry, but they are messed up. Do you understand? ”

The little emperor's eyes flashed, and he couldn't help but speak.

"Now this court is headed by the Shu Party, and Murong Fu is the most handsome among the Shu Party. Fan Chunren is old and not Murong Fu's opponent. After I die, you have to summon Su Shi back, let him be the left minister, and he will personally suppress the students. Su Shi is loyal and upright, as long as he is there, your throne will be as stable as Mount Tai. You are still young and talented, and at this time, you should not talk to yourself and rush to get into politics, but should devote yourself to learning how to ask about politics. It must be known that those who are kings must be more magnanimous and tolerant of capable officials who are more capable than themselves. Murong Fu once agreed with the old man that he would clarify the rule of officials and create a prosperous era with ten years of work, and you would give him ten years to be used by him. If he can do it, then it is your ability to know people; If he is wrong, you should also learn it, and it is just time to come forward to clean up the mess. Murong Fu's body was weak...... Ten years later, ten years later...... If he were alive, he would have stolen the bones; If he refused, Su Shi would force him to do so. So, you don't have to worry about his success. When he is a servant, you must promise me that you will be courteous to him. No matter what slander someone says, you can't hold a grudge against him. Our Emperor Song rules the world with benevolence and righteousness, and we can't let the heroes end up! The Empress Dowager reluctantly spoke, and then looked at the little emperor tightly, hoping that he would nod in agreement.

How do you know that the little emperor was silent for a moment, and only said quietly: "Grandmother wants me to wait for another ten years?" Decade?! Speaking of this, his young face was covered with gloom, and he suddenly pulled out the long sword at his waist and slashed over a chair on his side, and suddenly laughed wildly and gritted his teeth. Do you want me to be kind to him? Grandmother can know that Murong Mingshi ...... Murong Mingshi! I hate the skin that can't sleep, the flesh that eats! I'm going to make him worse than dead! ”

Seeing that the little emperor had such deep malice towards Murong Fu, the Empress Dowager couldn't help but tremble violently, and only stared at this angry grandson in disbelief, as if staring at a demon and a monster. After a while, she supported her body to sit up, but at this time she was extremely weak, and it was extremely difficult to lift her body by an inch or two, and finally she only used a thin arm to cling to the little emperor's hand and said, "Official, why is this?" Murong Fu has a master-apprentice friendship with you, and he even saved your imperial sister, have you forgotten all this? ”

However, Princess Shushou has passed away for many years, and there is no longer any weight left in the little emperor's heart. I saw him break away from the Empress Dowager, and said with a sneer: "What kind of friendship does Murong Mingshi have with me?" He is bent on climbing the dragon and the phoenix, and he only knows how to flatter his grandmother, how can he ever put me in his eyes? Since he treats his sister with deep affection, I will definitely send him to accompany the imperial sister as soon as possible, so that our sister and brother are in full love! ”

These two sentences of the little emperor were extremely vicious and ruthless, and the Empress Dowager of the Zhijiao Sect was angry, and only said sharply: "You are narrow-minded and jealous of meritocracy, how can you be worthy of being an emperor with such a bearing!" You...... You ......" Speaking of this, a huge force suddenly appeared in the Empress Dowager's body, and she suddenly sat up, pointing the finger of her right hand at the little emperor.

Under the power of the Empress Dowager, the little emperor only staggered back in fright and almost fainted. I saw him pressing his hand on the hilt of the sword, and his heart suddenly jumped and shouted, "Someone! Come! ”

The attendants outside the palace heard the emperor shouting loudly, and immediately rushed into the palace.

I saw that the little emperor was far away from the empress dowager, and the six gods looked at the empress dowager without a master, and said in a trembling voice: "She...... She...... Look at her, but what's wrong? "He is so satisfied with his talent that he wants to kill the minister and take power. But as soon as a sick old woman became powerful, he was so frightened that he was at a loss.

One of the chamberlains took a few steps, stared at the Empress Dowager for a moment, and then dared to probe her breath. After a while, the chamberlain's face changed suddenly, and he knelt on the ground with a "plop" and said in a mournful voice: "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager is here!" ”

As soon as the chamberlain's words fell, all the chamberlains fell to their knees and cried in unison.

Unbeknownst to him, the little emperor was overjoyed when he heard this, and laughed and exclaimed, "Wonderful! Great! I'm the emperor, I'm finally the emperor! As he spoke, he cheered and jumped in front of the bones of the Queen Mother in front of everyone. He has actually been the emperor for ten years, but in the past ten years, the emperor has been in name only, and the power is all in the hands of the empress dowager. Until this moment, he was the real emperor.

A group of attendants watched the little emperor cheer in horror, and one of them stepped forward boldly and said: "Official, the empress dowager has passed away, and the world needs to be ......."

The little emperor was reminded by the words of this chamberlain that he was back to normal, nodded and said in a deep voice: "Decree, the Empress Dowager has passed away, music and singing are forbidden, and the army and civilians are mourned!" ”

The Liao lord Yelu Hongji made Yelu Yixin, the king of the Northern Courtyard, the general of Pingnan, and led his troops to attack the Great Song Hejian Mansion with 100,000 troops, until March when the Chinese side reached Murong Fu's hands.

Seed Master Dao read the flying pigeon biography handed over by Murong Fu, and said strangely: "Xia Guo was explored underground by your meticulous work, why did the news of this Khitan come so late?" "It turned out that Yelu Hongji sent the edict to Yelu Yixin three days ago, counting the time when the flying pigeon passed the book, the time when the hidden Liao State learned the news was not much earlier than the people of Liao State.

Murong Fu swept the second flying pigeon biography and said slowly: "The seed is planted, and it will take time for it to germinate and grow." Now that the Xia Kingdom has not been destroyed, you haven't eaten the meat in this bowl yet, so you are thinking about the meat in the pot? ”

Hearing this, the seed master couldn't help but smile, and said confidently: "This conquest of the world, you should eat in the bowl and look at the pot, didn't you say it?" After a pause, he said again. It's just a few days late for the news of going to Beijing, but there is any news from the Wanyan Ministry? ”

Murong Fu nodded and replied: "The news of going to Beijing has been passed to Bao at the same time, and he will find an opportunity to inform Wanyanbu." Now that Wanyan has 50,000 guns and 100,000 rounds of ammunition, and there is also a holy envoy from the Great Song Dynasty who appointed him as an envoy of the Pingliao Festival, he will never let go of this opportunity. ”

Speaking of this holy decree, the seed master couldn't help but smile, and immediately coughed slightly twice and said stiffly: "It's good for you to talk about this 'holy decree' in front of me, don't you dare to repeat the old words with Master Zhang, be careful that his old man picks up a knife and cuts people!" ”

Murong Fu couldn't help but shake his head when he heard this, and sighed: "Master Zhang's age is not much longer than that of Wanyan Agu, but this cheek is not as thick as that of the younger generations, how can this be good?" It turned out that this bag was not doing things differently because he was afraid that the momentum would not be enough to teach people to look down on him, but he insisted that Zhang Ji, who was over sixty years old, came forward in person to read the fake holy decree to Wanyan Aguta. Although Zhang Kai said that he had different intentions for the sake of the overall situation, he always hated things and did not want to be mentioned.

When the seed master heard Murong Fu say this, his expression couldn't help but suffocate. After a while, he asked tentatively, "Murong, what do you mean by this?" ”

"Do you think Wanyan Aguta really doesn't know that this holy decree is fake?" Murong Fu sneered and said, "Although there are only tens of thousands of people in the Wanyan Sect, the population of the Twelve Jurchen Tribes combined, there are always four or five hundred thousand. With such a huge population base as the base, how could the Jurchens be willing to enslave the Khitans anymore? Wanyan Aguda just seized an opportunity at the most opportune time. As long as he can win this battle and snatch a piece of meat from the mouths of the Khitans, even if this holy decree is fake at the beginning, it can become true in the end! ”

The seed master suddenly realized, only patted his forehead and said to himself: "No wonder he doesn't want to be the commander of the fifth grade, he must be from the second grade!" I really thought it was barbaric and rude, and I didn't know etiquette. ”

Murong Fu chuckled lightly, and said Sen Ran: "It's not easy to look forward to the Khitan tiger dying of old age, I don't want to raise another wolf myself at this time!" This bone fight must be killed, and the face must also be destroyed! ”

This time, the planter didn't talk. He recalled that a few months ago, Wanyan Aguda came to Gyeongju to undertake the "holy decree", and he had asked him about the whereabouts of the "Su brothers", and he couldn't help but sigh. After a long time, he turned his mouth jerkily: "Yelu Yixin is the king of the North Courtyard, how can he lead the troops?" What about Xiao Feng? ”

Murong Fu didn't speak, but just handed the second flying pigeon biography he had read to the breeder. This second flying pigeon biography records the beginning and end of Xiao Feng's offended the Liao lord and was placed under house arrest in the East Palace.

After reading this flying pigeon biography, the breeder only sighed faintly for a long time. "Brother Xiao's identity is embarrassing, why bother wading into this troubled water? Both sides are not pleased! ”

Murong Fu nodded, and said with a look of pity: "Yelu Yixin's means are still too poor, if it is up to me to do it, Xiao Feng should eat the severed head meal now!" ”

When the seed master heard Murong Fu's words, his eyebrows jumped wildly. The flying pigeon's biography clearly states that Yelu Yixin slandered and framed several times after Xiao Feng fell off his official uniform and fell out with the Liao lord, which not only made Yelu Hongji beat Xiao Feng with a hundred sticks in anger, but also won the seal of "General Pingnan" for himself, and temporarily controlled the palace of the Southern Courtyard. If such a big victory is still "too poor means", the seed master Dao really doesn't know what the "clever means" in Murong Fu's heart should be. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but say: "Brother Xiao has a great merit after all, if Yelu Yixin instigates the Liao Lord to kill Brother Xiao, wouldn't he teach the world that the Liao Lord is ungrateful?" ”

"As long as you release the news of Xiao Feng's havoc in the palace, and add two more sentences, it will be easy to kill Xiao Feng!" Murong Fu said nonchalantly.

"What?" The planter asked hurriedly.

"For the work of saving and quelling the chaos, Your Majesty will be rewarded by the king of the Southern Courtyard, how can it be even worse? Today, His Majesty is the king of the Southern Courtyard who has a negative Majesty, and a non-Majesty has a negative Southern Courtyard king! Murong Fu raised his head and stared at the Seed Master Dao and said word for word, "Is it enough?" ”

The Seed Master Dao immediately choked, layers of cold sweat appeared on his forehead, and Fang muttered for a long time: "...... Enough...... Enough...... Enough is enough! A good phrase, "How could it be more"! Such a heart-wrenching argument means that the nine clans of Xiao Feng are more than enough! Seed Master Dao snooped at Murong Fu, who looked calm, for a while, and suddenly said, "Brother Akashi, you and I have intersected for several years, and the younger brother has never offended you, right?" ”

When Murong Fu heard this, he immediately raised his head and glared at the Seed Master, and smiled, his eyes full of disdain.

The seed master was not angry, but wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and said repeatedly: "That's good!" That's good! After confirming his own safety, he couldn't help but worry about Xiao Feng's safety. Brother Xiao was placed under house arrest, and his buttocks blossomed with a hundred sticks. Murong, are you just saying a few cool words here? ”

Murong Fu raised his head and said in surprise: "What do you mean, you want me to give Yelu Yixin a hand?" ”

As soon as Murong Fu said this, the seed master was stunned again. The next moment, he slapped himself in the mouth casually, and finally dropped a sentence: "After a slight order, March 20 is beneficial to the West, and it is advisable to send troops!" "Anyway, turn around and leave.
