"So, what exactly does the official family want to do?" Two hours later, Qin Guanduan, who had heard the news, sat in Murong Fu's study, which had already smashed most of it, and fell into deep thought.

Zong Ze also came over, only to see him muttering for a moment and slowly saying, "Brother Shaoyou, should you say, 'What is in the Funing Palace?' That's right! After a pause, he whispered again. Akashi has not been married so far, if the official family arranges a young and beautiful palace maid to wait for Akashi...... Is it the marriage of the heavenly family or the filthy harem, isn't it just in the thoughts of the official family? ”

As soon as Zong Ze said this, Qin Guan, Chao Buzhi, and Zhang Lei were immediately shocked and speechless. Although the three bachelors are not good at power and scheming, they are not stupid people, and they naturally know that the court now respects the Shu party, and the Shu party is all looking to Murong Fuma. As the emperor, the official family didn't want to think about how to entrap and recruit the Shu party to be loyal, but instead used this selfish trick to try to control the courtiers, which is really sighing.

How do I know that Zhuge Zheng, the commander of the six gates, suddenly said with a constipated face: "Since the folk rumors a few years ago that the palace wanted to find a nursing mother to imply that the official family indulged in lust, the empress dowager has ordered the rectification of the Funing Palace, but all the palace maids who are of moderate age and have a flat head and face have been transferred. ”

As soon as Zhuge Zheng said this, Zong Ze and the other four were immediately dumbfounded. I don't know how long it took, Qin Guan turned his head to look at the soft couch behind him in a trembling manner. At the center of the topic, Murong Fu was lying unconscious on the soft couch, and his sworn brother Qiao Feng was holding his pulse with one hand, staring at him for a moment. Xu is illness was haggard, and Qin Guan rarely saw a little soft lines from Murong Fu's always resolute face. Recalling that Murong Fu smashed half of the study in anger and made himself faint, he couldn't help but murmur, "Could it be ...... Could it be ......"

But at this moment, Murong Fu also sat up straight from the soft couch, and asked with a dark face: "What is it?" ”

Qin Guan glared at Murong Fu and swallowed his saliva in horror, shaking his head busily.

Fortunately, Murong Fu didn't need his answer, I saw him scurrying down from the soft couch with his heart in his hands, and scolded fiercely while walking around the study: "Faint Jun! Shame on the face! Before the words fell, another fist slammed into the round table where everyone was sitting. I only heard a crisp sound of "click", and half of the round table top of the rosewood immediately fell off.

Qiao Feng saw that Murong Fu's face was pale and trembling, and finally couldn't help but reach out and grab him and said, "Okay, you dissipate your anger!" If I get dizzy again, I can only ask Third Brother Bao to find a doctor. Speaking of this, Qiao Feng couldn't help frowning worriedly. Since you were hurt by Tianshan Tong's grandmother, your heart is not as good as it used to be. I'm going to faint at every turn, but what's the matter? Murong, in my opinion, you might as well resign early and take care of your body! Qiao Feng had no intention of delving into the real intention of the little emperor to drug Murong Fu, he only knew that if this matter was publicized, only Murong Fu would be ruined.

Murong Fu pressed his chest, took two long breaths, closed his eyes and breathed for a moment, and the cyanosis on his lips dissipated slightly. "Resigned? I finally came to this point, and my eldest brother wants me to resign? "Murong Fu's tone is cold, full of coldness." Just for the sake of a faint king, do you want me to give up the goal I have been fighting for so far? Why? ”

Qiao Feng saw that Murong Fu was furious, and stopped speaking.

But it was Zong Ze and the other four who listened to Murong Fu's rebellious words that they all had relatives in their hearts, and everyone studied until the Toad Palace won the laurels for decades, for the sake of the official family they had never met? Because it is the great ambition of serving the country and the people in my heart!

But it was Zhuge Zheng that I had been with the little emperor for much longer than Murong Fu, and I was more familiar with his character. At that time, Murong Fu personally said that for the sake of Princess Shushou, he was unwilling to marry another, and the Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager Xiang both said "rare", only the little emperor sighed, "How can you see such true love in the palace?" "I think since then, Murong Fu has been different in the heart of the little emperor. Thinking of this, Zhuge Zheng couldn't help but whisper a sentence for the little emperor: "Akashi, the official family has always appreciated your affection for Princess Shushou...... Maybe ......"

"Maybe what?" Before he finished speaking, Murong Fu roared again. "Zhuge Xiaohua, what kind of nonsense are you talking about? According to your words, if it is a saltless palace maid who awaits me today, I should feel deeply humiliated; But if he had gone out himself, I would have been flattered and thankful to the Lord Long? Zhuge Xiaohua, you and I are reading sage books, why do you read a slave look? ”

Zhuge Zheng's eyes were black when I was choked, and he said for a while: "You know I don't mean that...... At this time, it is better to calmly analyze all possibilities and find the best way to deal with them. ”

"So, are you trying to persuade me to believe in his sincerity? As long as it's sincere, can it be forgiven? Murong Fu couldn't help laughing out loud, but this laughter was full of contempt and ridicule, which made people feel cold. I didn't know how precious this heart was! What is dead can become alive, and what is wrong can become right? Then did he ever think about what he did, how should I deal with myself? This kind of person is full of calculations and selfishness, even if he is sincere, it is really disgusting! ”

Zhuge Zheng knew that he was angry, so he tried not to anger him, so he only endured his anger and continued: "Today's incident is indeed the fault of the official family, maybe he is acting biasedly, or maybe he can't distinguish between appreciation and admiration. He's still young, and he should be a good student......"

Murong Fu sneered, and every word was squeezed out of his teeth. "How? What do you want me to do? Now enter the palace, hug him, kiss him, and sue him, the official, in fact, Weichen has always loved you! And then give him a courtier during the day and a concubine at night? Speaking of this, Murong Fu couldn't bear it anymore, Huo Di got up from his seat, pointed at Zhuge Zheng and roared. Zhuge Xiaohua, since you are so loyal, you can do it! ”

Zhuge Zheng and I immediately fell backwards, and was about to refute but saw Murong Fu's face turn white for a moment, and he covered his chest and fell back into the chair on his back.

"Murong!" Qiao Feng exclaimed, and hurriedly put one hand around Murong Fu's shoulder, and the other hand against his vest to breathe for his luck. frowned again and said to Zhuge Zheng. "Brother Zhuge , just say a few words!"

"Yes! Oh, yes! Qiao Feng's voice fell, and Zong Ze and the three bachelors echoed in unison. When they saw that Murong Fu's feelings were out of control, they were really afraid that he would make themselves dizzy again. "One less word!"

Zhuge Zheng's anger instantly exploded, and he patted the case and said: "Qiao Feng, you can coax him!" Coaxed him to get more and more angry, his health is getting worse and worse, and he can't even analyze calmly! ”

At the mention of Murong Fu's body, Qiao Feng was instantly silent. In the past two years, Murong Fu's body has indeed been much worse than before, so that Qiao Feng can't bear to disobey him even more. But it was Murong Fu who gasped for a while, and said slowly: "No matter how calmly I analyze, no matter what is in the Funing Palace, it is impossible for me and the official family to go back to the past!" ”

Zhuge Zheng also knew that Murong Fu was reasonable, but where the responsibility was, he couldn't help but ask. "Murong, how are you doing?"

Murong Fu snorted coldly and said slowly: "Since he is shameless, kick it away!" Do you really think that this court will not be able to do without him? "On the surface, the reform of the bureaucratic system has refined the duties of officials and strengthened the imperial power, but in fact it has made the division between imperial power and vassals more clear. If the emperor is strong, he can naturally lead hundreds of officials to follow the law; But if the emperor is weak, then the officials act according to the law, and the emperor has no room to interfere. Since the little emperor was so selfish and stupid, Murong Fu only left him the function of a rubber stamp. If he doesn't give up, then Murong Fu doesn't even mind the function of stamping.

As soon as Murong Fu said this, everyone was even more panicked. After a long time, Qin Guanfang said with a little crying: "Senior brother, the rebellion is to punish the nine clans...... "The courtiers rebelled for the sake of chastity, how can this be justified?"

"Where does Senior Brother want to go?" Murong Fu glanced at him helplessly and said in a deep voice. "Senior brother just thinks that it is more suitable for our official family to focus on the harem."

It turns out that he just wants to be a minister! Everyone looked at Murong Fu with a resolute and victorious expression, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief. The ancients were taught to be loyal and patriotic by reading sages since childhood, but were they truly loyal to the king? This is actually debatable. Being able to get close to the emperor, the protagonist's aura on the emperor's body will gradually disappear. Stripped of this aura, the emperor is also human. Wise or mediocre, intelligent or stupid, all in the eyes of the court. If the emperor is a Ming monarch, then it is naturally the most desirable for the Ming monarch and virtuous ministers through the ages. But if the emperor is a faint monarch with a lonely personality, then it is more cost-effective to be Han Qi who is the "father of the two dynasties"!

Three days later, Murong Fu entered the palace as usual to give a lecture to the little emperor, but he waited for a long time in the Chongzheng Hall but never waited for the little emperor. Murong Fuzheng felt impatient, and an inner attendant beside the little emperor walked in from outside the hall and whispered: "Lord Murong, the official family ordered the lord to go to the martial arts arena to see the driver." ”

Murong Fu raised his eyebrows slightly noncommittally, and said for a long time: "Please lead the way." ”

On the martial arts field, the little emperor is practicing archery. Seeing Murong Fu approaching, he unhurriedly shot another arrow into the bull's-eye, then turned his head and said casually: "I have been obsessed with archery in the past few days, and I forgot for a while that Murong Qing was still waiting in the Chongzheng Palace. Don't blame the Qing family! ”

"Weichen doesn't dare!" Murong Fu replied in a flat tone, but he didn't care about being left out at all.

The little emperor was not shocked to see Murong Fu so pampered, but it was a little uncomfortable, and after a long time, Fang cheered up and said with a forced smile: "I don't know if Murong Qing knows archery?" ”

"Lile shooting the number of imperial books is the six arts of a gentleman, and Weichen naturally understands it." Murong Fu replied without being humble or arrogant. The little emperor really didn't understand Murong Fu, Murong Fu came through time, and he never worshiped the king in his heart. If the little emperor can be a Ming monarch, Murong Fu will appreciate and help with all his might. It's a pity that his nature dooms him to be a mean and unkind faint king, and in Murong Fu's eyes, this sixteen-year-old boy is just a disgusting bear child. The little emperor wanted to see Murong Fu's panicked expression because of the emperor's deliberate snub, it was really a fool's dream!

"Oh?" The little emperor looked unpredictable, obviously not believing what Murong Fu said. I saw him bow his head and pull the bowstring, and suddenly smiled: "In that case, Murong Qing is willing to demonstrate one or two for me?" ”

Murong Fu lowered his head and glanced at the half-stone bow directly sent by the Imperial Front Palace, and ordered: "Go and get the six-stone strong bow, and move the target back two hundred steps." ”

Murong Fu had this request, not only the little emperor was surprised, but even the palace in front of the palace also changed color. The little emperor was young and weak, and he only used a soft bow, and the target distance was only thirty paces, not to mention him. Most of the hard skills used by each hall in the front division of their hall are one and a half to two stones, and they can not miss the target outside a hundred steps. It was Huang Qian, the Marquis of Duyu, who had made progress a few years ago, who claimed to be invincible in the forbidden army, but he was only able to shoot a four-stone strong bow. Murong Fu asked for a six-stone strong bow as soon as he opened his mouth, if he didn't know the severity of the nonsense, then he would be a real person who didn't show his face.

The palace hesitated for a moment, and the little emperor was already displeased with the order: "Why don't you go quickly?" The little emperor didn't believe that Murong Fu could shoot a six-stone bow, and waited to see his jokes.

"Yes!" The temple hurriedly answered, and soon took the six-stone bow that had accumulated dust in the warehouse for many years, and ordered his subordinates to retreat the target by 200 steps.

The target was not big, and only a small black dot could be faintly seen two hundred paces away. Murong Fu didn't care at all, he just tried the bowstring unhurriedly, and said clearly: "This bow hasn't been used for a long time?" The bowstring still needs to be adjusted. ”

The little emperor was secretly laughing at Murong Fu pretending to be in his stomach, and when he heard this, he immediately said, "Why don't you change to a lighter bow, Murong Qing, you say it's okay?" ”

"It's okay, Wechen knows how to adjust." Murong Fu shook his head indifferently and tightened the bowstring by himself. Then, with his legs shoulder-width apart, his fingers twisted slightly, and a long arrow that had been clasped in his palm set the bowstring. "Officials, the way of archery should be determined, the hands steady, and the eyes accurate, all three are indispensable. As long as you have firm beliefs and gather momentum, you can ...... "I saw him slowly pull the bowstring as if he was hugging the full moon, and at this moment, his whole person's momentum was instantly clear, as if he had become a mighty and invincible general from a weak scholar who was powerless. "It will be invincible!"

The little emperor could only hear the bowstring "buzz" clearly, and the arrow immediately left the string. The long arrow galloped like a white rainbow through the sun, instantly penetrating the bullseye two hundred steps away, and then penetrated a big tree behind the target without stopping the remaining strength, and blasted the trunk out of a bowl-sized hole with a "bang", until it was nailed into the ground, and the tail of the arrow was still trembling.

Murong Fu casually put down the longbow, bowed deeply to the little emperor, and said in a deep voice: "Official, the hour is not early, Weichen retires!" Then he walked away.

The little emperor's face was black and purple for a while, and after a long time, Fang gritted his teeth and said, "Go and bring that target to me to see!" ”

Hearing this, the chamberlain beside the little emperor hurriedly answered "yes", and rushed over to carry the arrow target. Seeing that the red bullseye on the arrow target had now turned into a round hole, the little emperor's complexion couldn't help but change again. I don't know how long later, he suddenly reached out and tentatively touched the round hole, but as soon as his finger touched the target, the arrow target made of hardwood shattered instantly. The little emperor didn't know the internal cause, but he thought that the chamberlain had broken the arrow target, and immediately became furious and kicked the chamberlain over. "Dog! I can't even get an arrow target! What do you want! What do you want! Then he grabbed the soft bow hanging beside him and drew it on the chamberlain.

Seeing that the little emperor was so angry, the inner servant was so angry, and his soul was scattered, and he hurriedly fell to the ground, hugged his head, and cried repeatedly: "The official family spares his life!" The official family spares his life! ”

Seeing that the little emperor was really making a mess, he hurriedly stepped forward and persuaded: "The official family is angry!" I don't blame this cabinet chief for this! If his subordinates were not mistaken, Lord Murong was practicing internal kung fu, and just when he shot an arrow, the arrow target would have been shattered. ”

The little emperor retracted his legs at this time, glared at the servant angrily, and saw that his face was gray and his tears and snot were in a mess, and he couldn't help but be even more disgusted, and only said: "What about Tong Guan?" How many days has he been sick, has he died? "Since the Empress Dowager cleaned up the palace maids beside him more than half a year ago, only Tong Guan is in line with his heart. Unexpectedly, the design of Murong Fu could not be completed that day, and Tong Guan said that he was distressed and took leave. The little emperor secretly wondered that Tong Guan's illness was fake and his heart disease was real, lest the Empress Dowager know that she was going to take his life.

Hearing this, the chamberlain hurriedly choked up and knelt up, trying his best to suppress his frightened tone and replied, "Go back to the official's house...... Tong Daban ...... Tong Da accompanied him ......"

"If you have something to say, say it!" The little emperor was in an unhappy mood, how could he have the leisure to wait for the waiter.

The chamberlain was suddenly startled, and hurriedly said: "Back to the official's house, Tong Daban suddenly vomited blood last night, and the imperial doctor couldn't find out the reason and was helpless." In the middle of the night, he suddenly vomited out a few pieces of minced meat...... Die...... Dead! ”

As soon as the chamberlain said this, the little emperor immediately thought of the palm that Murong Fu pushed away Tong Guan that day. I saw that his face turned blue, and the soft bow that he was carrying in his hand slipped down instantly.

After Murong Fu said goodbye to the little emperor, he was not in a hurry to leave the palace, but went to Qingshou Palace to meet the empress dowager.

The Empress Dowager sighed when she saw Murong Fu, and only shook her head and said, "Murong Qing, do you know that your mention is really a big rebellion?" ”

Murong Fu smiled nonchalantly, and only said, "Then the Empress Dowager also knows that this is the only way!" The royal family has always been frugal, Emperor Renzong was reluctant to even drink a bowl of mutton soup, and the Empress Dowager also inspected the imperial dining room from time to time to avoid waste. But even then, the treasury is drying up. Weichen can't help but ask, since there are wise kings and virtuous ministers, why can't they make money? Where did the money go? ”

It was not the first time that the Empress Dowager had heard Murong Fu say this, so she shook her head and sighed: "The two families of Buddhism and Taoism are powerful, you want to destroy the Buddha and destroy the Tao to dig up money, and the mourning family is only afraid that you will not be able to recover the catastrophe that you have pointed out by thousands of people!" Xining changed the law, and the eyes of Emperor Shenzong and Wang Anshi were only staring at the copper plate in the gentry's pocket. However, which one of the officials can be a fool? No matter how loyal and patriotic they are, they will not take out their legitimate income and be loyal to the emperor, so they naturally transfer the burden of spending money to the people. However, Emperor Shenzong and Wang Anshi forgot that in addition to the gentry, there were also Buddhism and Taoism that did not pay taxes. Monks and Taoists do not pay taxes but are rich and oily, and they have no power in the court. Now that the court is short of money, who else can they find if they don't look for them?

Murong Fu also shook his head when he heard this, and said softly: "Empress Dowager, Weichen is not trying to destroy the Buddha and destroy the Dao, but to clean up the portal for the two families of Buddhism and Taoism!" The royal wisdom and sainthood are exemplary for the world, if there is a demon monk in the world who perversely pollutes the Pure Land of Buddhism, it is time for the royal family to come forward to clean up the gods and Bodhisattvas. This kind of behavior is not only not to offend the immortals and Bodhisattvas, but also to protect the immortals and Bodhisattvas! Could it be that the gods and bodhisattvas would be happy to see that their ashram had become a place of filth and filth? If the gods and Buddhas of the sky know my royal painstaking efforts, they will definitely bless me with the prosperity of the Great Song Dynasty! ”

This topic was discussed by Murong Fu and the Empress Dowager countless times, and it was not until this last sentence that the Empress Dowager was finally moved. I saw her muttering for a long time, and finally replied slowly: "I'm afraid that nothing will happen, disturbing the purity of Buddhism, and the people will have a lot of complaints." ”

"So this matter should be handled by Wechen! Please ask the Empress Dowager to give Weichen a one-year time limit, openly and secretly visit the two doors of Buddhism and Taoism, and wait for the evidence of the crime to be conclusive before attacking. At the same time, the Empress Dowager should also issue a decree to praise those truly pure Buddhist holy places. With such clear rewards and punishments, the people will be convinced! What's more......" Speaking of this, Murong Fu suddenly smiled slyly and said quietly. "The minister thinks that the abbot of the ancient temple must be a master, if he learns that there is a violation of the precepts, thank me for the royal reminder, how can I be resentful? As long as the sins are washed away, the two doors of Buddhism and Taoism will still be great! ”

Murong Fu said it so clearly, and the Empress Dowager nodded slightly. Murong Fu's skills, the Empress Dowager also knows well, since he has a successful plan, he might as well give it a try. After all, every time I go back to worship the Buddha, I see those big monks all red and fat and strong, and the empress dowager is not very comfortable. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but sigh softly: "This time is fleeting, Murong Qing's term of office is about to expire, it's time to make a move......

In the spring of the seventh year of Yuan You, Murong Fu Chongzheng Palace's three-year term of office was excellent.
