In the middle of the night, Murong Fu returned to his mansion in the capital. On this day, he set off from outside the city when he was in Yin, first served as a stake in the Taimiao for a few hours, then performed a good show in the Daqing Palace, and finally knelt outside the Funing Hall for a long time, and was already exhausted when he returned home.

Seeing that Murong Fu's face had changed, Ah Bi hurriedly instructed the servants to prepare hot water. When he freshened up and changed his clothes, and barely ate a few more bites of food, time was approaching the ugly hour unhurriedly. Seeing that Murong had very little land, Abi was already worried in his heart, but he was worried that he would eat too much food and dare not persuade him more. As soon as he saw him put down his chopsticks, he hurriedly urged: "Son, it's better to settle it early, and ...... tomorrow."

Murong Fu only shook his head slightly when he heard this, only to see him stunned for a while and said, "The situation of the official family is not good, tomorrow ...... It shouldn't be early. Murong Fu watched coldly, Zhao Xu was indeed frightened today. He believed that with Zhao Xu's mind, he would be absent from work tomorrow morning.

Abi Ke didn't care what Zhao Xu's situation was, and when she heard Murong Fu say that she didn't need to go to court early tomorrow, she was already happy. "Childe has been tired for a few days, it should have been a good rest!" Seeing that Murong Fu was about to reach out for the teacup, she hurriedly got up and took the tea set on the table away. "It's so late, don't drink tea! Rest a little longer and go to bed early! ”

Murong Fu saw that Abi's attitude as a housekeeper was also helpless, so he had to answer honestly: "I'll sit for a while and then go to rest." "Right now, he's so tired that he can't sleep for a while." I'm not in the capital this year, what's the news in Beijing? ”

Hearing this, Abi couldn't help but think sideways for a moment, and whispered: "It matters, Abi has already flown the pigeon to pass the book to the prince; It doesn't matter...... Lord Zhuge has found two Zhennan kings, but in the end they all found the wrong person, does it count? ”

Murong Fu immediately laughed and said continuously: "Count!" Calculate! "Zhuge is in control of the six gates, how can I find the wrong person? It seems that Duan Yu is having fun. Although Emperor Duan Zhengming of Baoding said that he had no intention of power, he was a person with eyes. Now that the Great Song Dynasty has demonstrated his extraordinary strength in destroying the Xia Kingdom, he must be even less excited, and he should soon pass on Duan Yu. As long as Duan Yu ascends the throne, Duan Zhengchun, a chess piece that has been deducted for several years, can come in handy.

Murong Fu was thinking about it, but Abi was unhappy, and hurriedly pulled Murong Fu's sleeve and said, "If the prince rarely rests, don't worry about official business anymore, it's better to settle it earlier!" ”

Murong Fu saw Abi looking at him with a worried face, and his heart warmed. It's just that when he saw Abi's well-behaved and attached appearance, he couldn't help but think of Azhu again. I saw him suddenly sigh, and the hands that he held Ah Bi said slowly: "Ah Bi, you have grown up with Ah Zhu since you were a child, and you are like a sister." Now...... She has been married for two years, don't you really want to know how she is doing? ”

This topic is obviously not the first time Murong Fu has discussed it with Abi. But Abi's attitude was as firm as ever, and she replied with a cold face: "My love affair with Azhu is over, why should the prince mention her again?" After a pause, she added again. If she is doing well, she will be gone; If it's not good, it's also her fault......"

"Abi, Azhu is dead!" Before Abi finished her heartless words, Murong Fu had already interrupted her first. The deceased is gone, and Abi's words can't hurt Azhu in the slightest, and in the end, Abi can only regret it sadly.

“…… What the? Ah Bi was stunned, and tears instantly filled her eyes. Son, who are you talking about...... Who died? ”

Murong Fu looked at Abi silently, his eyes full of tenderness and pity. "Abi, Azhu is dead...... The Jurchens rebelled, and Xiao Feng was ordered to suppress it. In the battle of Huanglong Mansion, Azhu blocked a cold shot for Xiao Feng...... Azhu is dead......"

Ah Bi looked at Murong Fu in disbelief and didn't say a word for a long time. After a while, Xu Shi realized that she could no longer hold back her tears, and she turned her head sharply.

Looking at Ah Bi, who was trying his best to hold back his crying, Murong Fu couldn't help but sigh faintly. He stretched out his hand and stroked Abi's hair, and said softly: "It's okay Abi, every qiē has a son, it's okay......"

With just this sentence, Abi instantly burst into tears, lying on Murong Fu's knees and crying loudly.

Murong Fu didn't speak again, only gently stroked Abi's hair.

I don't know how long it took, Abi Fang gradually stopped his tears, and sobbed: "Azhu...... Sister Azhu, she snatched Uncle Xiao, and caused the poisoning of the son-in-law...... In my heart, I hate her to death! …… But...... But, Son, why am I still so sad? ”

At the mention of Xiao Feng, Murong Fuli felt in a trance. I saw that he was silent for a while before he said decisively: "Abi, don't mention the past again." Ah Zhu is dead, and no matter what role she played in Ah Zi's poisoning, Gongzi has forgiven her. So, you don't have to hold grudges anymore. …… Nothing else, even more so. ”

When Abi heard Murong Fu say "forgive", her heart was already sour. But when she heard the last sentence, she was even more shocked, and hurriedly raised her head to look at Murong Fu. "Childe, what do you mean by that?"

Murong Fu was silent for a while, and said slowly: "Gongzi still has a lot of important things to do, and he has no time or energy to pay attention to irrelevant people and things. ”

Murong Fu said this as if he had decided to free himself from his hopeless feelings, but instead of being happy when Ah Bi heard this, tears welled up even more urgently. “…… How so? …… Childe, how could it be? ”

"Silly girl, what are you crying about?" Murong Fu playfully took out a silk handkerchief to wipe Abi's tears. "Ten years...... Childe has thought about it, as long as ten years, Childe can achieve his wish. At that time, Gongzi Ye took Ah Bi and left the Great Song Dynasty. Beyond the sea, there is a vast world and different customs. In our lifetimes, we should go and see ......."

"Not so! That's not true! Abi was not dazzled by the big cake that Murong Fu painted for her, and only grabbed Murong Fu's palm tightly and couldn't stop sobbing. The prince gave up the lord and his wife, killed Gongye Qian, fulfilled Sister Azhu, and now he has to let go of Uncle Xiao...... That's not right, Childe, it's not right...... People can't live only on official business, there are always other things. You can't...... Can't be anything to worry about! Can't live so cold! Childe! ”

"Something else? Affection? Murong Fu couldn't help but sigh when he heard this, "Could it be that in Ah Bi's eyes, is the popularity of the prince really so bad?" ”

"But Uncle Xiao is different!" Abi said firmly. "He's different from everyone else! Childe, you know better than anyone else! ”

"Love ......," Murong Fu replied calmly, "It is not worthless, and of course it will not be as heavy as Mount Tai." Ah Bi, the prince only knows that the world is fair, and if you want to succeed, you can only identify the goal and make unremitting efforts. The task that Childe has to undertake now is too heavy, and I really can't be distracted anymore. …… At that time, I always said that the seed master was naïve, but it turned out that I was also naïve, and I thought that the world could be both. The truth is, when I carry this burden, I should take my heart off! Fortunately, it's not too late to repent. ”

Murong Fu's voice was very calm, it was obvious that he had already thought about this decision repeatedly and not on the spur of the moment. Abi knows Murong Fu's ambition even more, Heqing Haiyan, the world is peaceful, and even expands the territory and is inexhaustible. Such ambitions are far grander and more admirable than seeking to usurp the throne. But she still couldn't stop crying. "Childe, how can you stand it?"

"Why can't you stand it?" Murong Fu's expression was faint. Thinking that he is a human being in two lives, the choice between the country and the beauty is to give him 10,000 chances, and he will only unswervingly choose the former. And if you get what you want, you will lose what you want, and if you have made up your mind, why should you live or die?

"If Sister Azhu hadn't ......died," Abi couldn't help choking up as she looked at Murong Fu's cold face.

"What's the difference?" Murong Fu asked indifferently.

Abi choked immediately. Yes, there is no difference. Gongzi is arrogant, since Uncle Xiao chose Sister Azhu, then Gongzi will never say his mind. So, maybe it's better to forget about it? Abi was in a trance, she didn't know what would happen in the future. Perhaps, there will be someone else who will make the prince happy again; Perhaps, the prince will never waste his time on love again. She only knew that in the past ten years, Gongzi and Uncle Xiao drank and competed, traveled together, talked and laughed, and served the country and the people.

Compared with the emotional difficulties, Murong Fu had to cut the love thread with a sword. In court politics, he has obviously always been at ease. But this time, Murong Fu finally looked up to Zhao Xu again. It's just because Zhao Xu didn't say that he was sick for a day, but he didn't go to court for three days. It turned out that Zhao Xu was weak since he was a child, and he was already prone to illness in winter. In addition, it took a lot of energy to have a hysterical attack on Zhengdan, and he had a fever that night, and he had been burning and dazed for three days, but he sat down with his previous illness. As the head of a country, he was absent for three days due to illness, which not only greatly attracted the suspicion of the government and the opposition, but also made Murong Fu despise him more and more.

By the evening of the fourth day, Su Zhe, the right prime minister who had been guarding the palace for three days, was finally released. When he returned to his mansion and saw the members of the Shu Party sitting around waiting for news from the palace, Su Zheren couldn't help but ask: "Akashi, the official family suddenly became hysterical, does it have anything to do with you?" ”

Murong Fu shook his head innocently. "The official family was jealous of the Shu Party and hated me for robbing him of his merits, and that day I clearly persuaded him not to look at the head, and he wanted to gamble with me......"

Before Murong Fu finished speaking, everyone in the hall sighed in unison.

Even Su Zhe, who has always been cautious and generous, sighed: "In the past few days, the official family has been sleeping and waking up, but whenever he wakes up, he always shouts that Akashi harmed him......" Thinking back to the hard work of appeasing the official family and appeasing the queen mother in the past few days, Su Zhe looked unbearable. In his opinion, although the official family is supreme, his courage is not as good as the queen mother and the queen, which is really disappointing.

When Murong Fu heard this, he immediately pretended to pull the corners of his mouth helplessly. What Zhao Xu said was indeed the truth, but the dead man opened his eyes, which was really incredible. Zhao Xu himself was frightened again and did a lot of crazy things. Who will be able to trust him at this time?

Everyone sighed for a while, and Hu Zongyue said with a straight face: "The official family has not been in court for three days, but the rewards of the soldiers of the Western Army cannot be delayed any longer!" ”

Speaking of this, Su Zhe sighed again. What a great achievement is this to destroy the Xia Kingdom and expand its territory? The imperial court has not rewarded it so far, it is unprecedented! If it drags on any longer, it will not only be the face of the official family alone, but I am afraid that the world will be restless and accuse the royal family of being unkind. I saw Su Zhe looking around the hall for a week, and said bluntly: "Akashi, since you are back, you don't have an idea?" ”

Murong Fu just chuckled. "I'm afraid that if I say my idea, everyone will think I'm going against the grain."

Even Murong Fu said that "great rebellion", presumably his idea is very "great rebellion". Everyone in the hall was silent when they heard this, but Qin Guan was not afraid of death, and asked without scruples: "What is the idea?" ”

Murong Fu looked at everyone and spit out four words unhurriedly. "The Queen Mother hangs the curtain!"

"No! Absolutely not! "Su Zhe really couldn't accept it, and immediately raised his voice against it." The official family has reached the age of 20, if he is not able to pro-government, this is ...... This...... It just doesn't make sense! ”

Murong Fu had already prepared, and replied seriously: "Doing extraordinary things in extraordinary times, it is not a way for the official family to go crazy day and night. Uncle Shi, don't forget, not only has the Western Army not yet been rewarded, but also foreign vassals of various countries are also waiting to see how the imperial court will deal with it. ”

Thinking that the official family's loss of honor on the day of Zhengdan was also seen by many foreign vassals, Su Zhe had a splitting headache.

"Now that the situation is urgent, it is better to ask the Queen Mother to pick up important government affairs first. Wait for the official family to be good, and then roll up the curtain and return to politics! When Murong Fu said this, he couldn't help but wrinkle his eyebrows slightly, as if he remembered something terrible. But there is one thing...... Uncle Shi, do you see the hysteria of the official family...... Exactly, strict or not strict? ”

Hysteria, in modern Chinese, can be roughly translated simply: intermittent psychosis. An official who suffers from intermittent psychosis may be able to go crazy at any time, and he doesn't know what he has done, how can he govern the country? After Murong Fu's remind, everyone in the hall obviously realized this, and at the same time, they were terrified. For a time, the names and surnames of neurotic tyrants such as Shang Xun, Sima Zhen, Gao Yang, and Gao Wei who went down in history continued to fly in everyone's minds.

Su Zhe's face turned blue, but he still tried to maintain his composure, and said continuously: "No!" Absolutely not! The official family is just ...... I was just a little frightened......"

Murong Fu let out a long sigh and said with a heavy expression: "I hope so......"

Su Zhe was drenched in a cold sweat by Murong Fu's sigh, and hurriedly said: "I will enter the palace tomorrow to ask to see the Queen Mother, and the official's illness must be carefully diagnosed and treated!" Thinking of the major events in the DPRK and China one after another after Fan Chunren's Zhishi, he was an honest man who lacked ingenuity, Su Zhe couldn't help but sigh in a low voice. I don't know when my brother will be able to return to Beijing? ”

The news that Su Shi was going back to Beijing, Murong Fu heard it for the first time, and he sat up straight and exclaimed, "The teacher wants to go back to Beijing?" Is it an edict of the imperial court? "Su Shi is now the Taishou of Hangzhou, and Yuan You's three-year term of office expires in nine years, if the imperial court orders him to come back, his position in the Shu Party can only be placed in phase. But it is obvious that the left minister in Zhao Xu's heart is the leader of the New Party, Zhang Dan, and if this is the case, he will definitely not recall Su Shi back to Beijing.

Speaking of Su Shi's news, everyone in the hall was a little embarrassed. They didn't want to answer, so they all set their eyes on Su Zhe, who was leaking.

Su Zhe was also silent for a while, until he could no longer face the sharp eyes that Murong Fu threw at him, and then explained gloomily: "Brother's return to Beijing is his own intention. Before the Western Army went to Beijing, he asked me to forward a private letter to the official family for him. After that, the official family issued an edict. "Su Shi used to be a Hanlin attendant and was Zhao Xu's serious teacher. Teachers write letters to students, but they are not unreasonable.

However, Murong Fu's face was even more strange when he heard the news, and he pondered for a moment and said, "Why didn't I know about this matter from beginning to end?" When exactly will the teacher come back? ”

Murong Fu asked this, Su Zhe suddenly became even more embarrassed, and was quiet for a long time before replying in a low voice: "It's your teacher's intention not to tell you about this...... Because the official family also made an order just a few days ago, the elder brother probably had two to three days to travel before he arrived in Bianjing. ”

Su Shi suddenly wrote a private letter to Zhao Xu asking to return to Beijing, and insisted on hiding it from himself. This move was so imaginative that Murong Fu looked at everyone in confusion for a long time, but he didn't come up with an answer. Touching everyone's dodging eyes, he only knew that he had to speed up his pace even more about the reward!
