Chapter 88: Dogfight (4)
The mansion of Duke LΓΌ was built by the order of the little emperor, and it is located in the south of the East Mansion, which is a rare place to be quiet in the middle of the noise. Leaving the Lu Mansion and passing through an uninhabited alley, Murong Fu had faintly heard the sound of people more than a dozen steps away. The voice came so timely that it instantly pulled him back from hell to earth. He couldn't help but let out a long sigh, lowered his head again, rubbed his face, eased his expression slightly, and walked forward.
After taking two steps, a small pebble fell from the sky and landed at his feet with a "pop". Murong Fu subconsciously raised his head to look, but saw Qiao Feng, who had not been seen for months, squatting on an eaves above his head. Seeing Murong Fu looking up at him, Qiao Feng smiled and shook the wine jar in his hand at him.
Soon after, the two sat down on the roof of an unknown house. At this time, the east is white, the night breeze is getting softer, and a lake blue as clear as blue water at the end of the sky has already turned the situation back, and the original boundless night is gradually expelled. Murong Fu and Qiao Feng were condescending, and they saw that the traders who were rushing to the night market on both sides of the road were busy collecting their stalls and going home, while the traders who were rushing to the morning market quietly set up their shops and picked up lanterns. The hazy candlelight swayed leisurely on the streets, so quiet and gentle, as if the Milky Way had quietly descended on the world and flowed slowly. Murong Fu took the wine jar thrown by Qiao Feng and poured a sip of spirits fiercely, before he sighed: "Aren't you afraid that I will really kill Lu Sikong?" β
"Don't be afraid." Qiao Feng hugged Murong Fu affectionately and sighed with satisfaction. "I know what kind of person my second brother is." Qiao Feng knew that since Princess Shushou passed away, Murong Fu's temperament had softened a lot, although he himself didn't know it.
Murong Fu was not as optimistic as Qiao Feng, I saw him looking down at the wine jar in his hand in a daze, and said bitterly for a long time: "Since Lu Weizhong was the left minister, I knew that this level was difficult. I just didn't expect ......"
Qiao Feng patted him on the shoulder and didn't speak.
Murong Fu also stopped talking, only to see him lay down on someone else's roof with his hands behind his head without any scruples, and quietly closed his eyes.
Seeing this, Qiao Feng couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and lay down. Qiao Feng knew that Murong Fu was tired, and the term of the Chongzheng Palace's storytelling was far more exhausting than the Xiping County Order.
I don't know how long it took, Murong Fu suddenly muttered, "At this time, shouldn't the Shunfeng Dart Bureau take accounts?" β
"The ledger is ready," Qiao Feng replied, "So I'm not here to invite you?" β
Murong Fu almost rolled off the roof when he heard this, he immediately propped up his body and collapsed and said, "Big brother! Even if you're my eldest brother, you can't call me that, can you? "There are many beggars, and the hall of the Shunfeng Dart Bureau has opened many houses in the Great Song Dynasty. Nowadays, if the people of the Great Song Dynasty have letters or goods to ship, they must find a tailwind dart game. However, although the beggar gang's business was doing well, the accounts were a mess until Qiao Feng personally found Murong Fu last year. Murong Fu brought twenty accountants to do the accounts for three months, and only then did he clarify the accounts since the opening of the Shunfeng Dart Bureau in the second year of Yuan You.
Seeing the dark blue in Murong Fu's eyes, Qiao Feng was also a little embarrassed. It's just that he himself is really impatient to explain to those numbers, so he can only cheekily hold Murong Fu's hand and say: "I also know that your noble people are busy, and there are also talents left by you in our beggar gang, so I just ask you to send an experienced person to preside over the situation for now." β
Qiao Feng put his posture so low, Murong Fu was embarrassed, and said with a smile: "This little thing, why should the eldest brother tell me, just tell Bao to be different." β
Qiao Feng looked at Murong Fu for a while, and then dragged him again. "Lie down a little longer, I see you're really tired."
Murong Fu lay down and said softly, "It's good to pass this level...... As long as you pass this level......"
"In May, our beggar gang has a Hundred Flowers Club in Luoyang...... Qiao Feng didn't want Murong Fu to always worry about the political situation, so he only quietly diverted the topic. I, the leader of the beggar gang, came to invite you personally, Murong Gongzi can't help but appreciate his face! β
Since he met Qiao Feng, Murong Fu didn't know how many times he had thought about the original plot related to him. At this time, my mind turned slightly, and I realized that this was when Mrs. Ma appeared. It's just that I don't know that I just need to easily stand next to the skullcapa, and the heroes and heroes of the world can't help but look at Mrs. Ma, how is her posture? Thinking of this, Murong Fu immediately responded. "Since the eldest brother is invited, the younger brother naturally obeys everything."
Qiao Feng himself had no interest in the Hundred Flowers Society of Nalaoshzi, and he came to invite Murong Fu just to think that he could distract himself. At this time, seeing that Murong was refreshed, he was also relieved in his heart, and couldn't help but persuade: "Murong, the future will be long." Even if the situation in the court is temporarily frustrated by Lu Sikong, we can also plan slowly. β
"Big brother, don't worry," Murong Fu sneered when he heard this, and said slowly. "I'm not going to lose! No matter what Lu Sikong said in front of the Empress Dowager...... I won't lose! β
Murong Fu's sentence "I won't lose" was so ruthless that Qiao Feng couldn't help but be shocked. He hurriedly looked sideways at Murong Fu, but saw that he had snuggled up to his side and fell asleep at some point.
In the middle of February of the fifth year of Yuan You, Lu Gongshu passed away on the third day after meeting the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager was so heartbroken that she couldn't help but cry in front of the princes in the court: "The country is unfortunate, Sima Xianggong is dead, and Lu Sikong is dead." β
The Empress Dowager was so grieved that Su Shi could only put it down and wrote half of the self-defense recital, and first put on another recital to comfort the Empress Dowager. Of course, it is inevitable to write a few new words on the music to comfort the fans. However, Su Shi's idleness does not mean that the Shuo Party will also be idle. A few days after the death of Lu Gongzhu, Wang Yansuo and Fu Yaoyu, members of the Shuo Party, went to the recital to impeach Su Shi again, and begged the empress dowager not to be bullied by Su Shi again, and the impeachment of Su Shi should be handed over to Menxia Province for disposal. The province under the door is in charge of the emperor's order and etiquette, and it is a place where officials gather. At this time, the doctor who could preside over the situation in Menxia Province was Liang Tao, who had impeached Su Shi earlier. It can be said that if the Empress Dowager admonishes the matter to be transferred to Menxia Province, the second Wutai poetry case will begin. This time, the Empress Dowager, who listened to Duke Lu's last words, was not as resolute as before, but invited Zuo Prime Minister Lu Dafang to discuss countermeasures.
Lu Dafang deserved to be Su Shi's old friend, and immediately replied: "Su Shi is the right minister after all, and he should have the dignity of the right minister." The Empress Dowager should let him reflect on his own and decide whether he will remain in the court as an official. β
When the news reached Su Shi's ears, he couldn't help but sigh faintly, and started another book, asking the Empress Dowager to release him.
Before the ink of this piece was dry, Murong Fu had already snatched it down and tore it to pieces. "Teacher, since ancient times, there have only been prime ministers who have been demoted, and there have been no prime ministers who have been released. Resign! β
"Why is that?" Murong Fu said, Qin Guan was the first to jump out. "Zhao Tingzhi's empty words are unfounded, are we just admitting defeat? Where is justice? β
"Justice?" In response to him, Murong Fu sneered, "What the court pays attention to is never justice, but power!" Now that we have been defeated like a mountain, it is better to resign and seek to be free and chic than to rely on our official body to survive. β
The word "comfortable and chic" finally moved Su Shi, and he saw a slight sigh between his eyebrows: "I thought that Wei Zhong knew me...... Wei Zhong knows that I ......"
Murong Fu knew that Su Shi was betrayed by Shen Kuo, and that was due to history and had nothing to do with him. But now the friendship between Su Shi and Lu Dafang has broken down, but it is all because of him. He felt guilty in his heart, and immediately knelt down on one knee, held Su Shi's arm and said slowly: "Teacher, politics has nothing to do with personal relationships, and politics has nothing to do with character!" ζΏzhΓ¬...... Always. β
Su Shi saw that Murong Fu was as sad as him, and remembered that Murong Fu had worked hard for him to plan for the position of Zuo Xiang, but he supported Lu Dafang by himself, and he was full of shame. I saw him holding Murong Fu's wrist tightly, and said firmly: "Akashi, you have to stay!" At this point in state affairs, you have to stay! β
"I'll stay!" Murong Fu hurriedly nodded in response, "Teacher, rest assured, one day, the students will avenge the teacher Jingping court." At that time, ask the teacher to go out of the mountain to preside over the situation! β
Su Shi is not a person who is obsessed with power tricks, and when he heard Murong Fu say this, he only smiled gloomily, and sighed: "I haven't been back to my hometown in Meizhou for many years, and now it's time to go back......
"No, the teacher shouldn't go!" Murong Fu did not agree with Su Shi leaving the capital, "Dongpo Pavilion and Dongpo Poetry Club are still indispensable teachers. Even if the teacher is no longer an official, it is good to use the Dongpo Pavilion and the Dongpo Poetry Club as a platform to cultivate the juniors. β
"This ......" Murong Fu mentioned this, and Su Shi was stunned for a moment. The so-called resignation and return to his hometown, Su Shi really never thought of staying in the capital. "Dongpo Pavilion, you have already sent someone to take care of it, and you can't help the teacher. As for the poetry club...... Nowadays, there is far more talk about how to govern than how to write poetry......"
"That's why teachers are needed even more!" Murong Fu said with a smile, "The teacher has rich experience in governing politics, and those new scholars are useless when they put down their books, even if they are released as officials, they will only be bullied by the officials." Only when the teacher first taught them how to be officials can they benefit the people! What's more, the income of 'Dongpo Wine' is so high, is the teacher still worried about Bianjingju and the big difficulty? β
As soon as Murong Fu said this, Su Shi couldn't help laughing, and only patted Murong Fu's forehead and said, "From you, from you!" β
When he got out, Huang Tingjian, who had always been silent, finally whispered: "It's me and the teacher who think too simply......"
Murong Fu shook his head and said softly: "Senior brother didn't see the wrong person, Lu Dafang is indeed a gentleman. "At least Lu Dafang saved Su Shi with a word, and he didn't have to go to the prison again." It's just that in this court, the gentleman has always been unable to fight villains. We know that the teacher is innocent, but someone impeached him, and he had to resign in order to prove his innocence. However, such as Wang Qi and Deng Juan, 'laughing and scolding from you, a good official must be done by me.'" Who can help him? Did Senior Brother think Lu Dafang had won? I sue you, he's just a pawn! "Historically, Liu Zhi took advantage of the power of Lu Gongshu and Lu Dafang to pinch the Luo Party and the Shu Party, and then pointed the finger at Lu Dafang. When the "Nazis" finally came to him, no one spoke for him.
Huang Tingjian couldn't help but sigh again, and said stubbornly: "However, I always insist that the "Bianjing Times" should be the voice of the people, and should not be used as a tool for party struggle. β
Murong Fu also knew that if he wanted to convince them of these ancient gentlemen, it was wishful thinking to rely on this stimulation alone, so he only smiled and said: "Then I will also tell Senior Brother SΓΉ frankly, I will always be good, and I will always be just an opposition party!" After saying this, Murong Fu didn't look at the four bachelors anymore, and walked out with his conceited hands.
After that, Su Shi took six concerts in a row in just one month and asked for his resignation. The Empress Dowager saw that Su Shi had made up her mind, and he agreed to stay in the capital for a long time, so she finally agreed. "Bianjing Times" reported the news as soon as possible, and reviewed Su Shi's official career in two full pages. Jiayou two years of Jinshi, three years of Jingcha into the third class for the first hundred years, Emperor Renzong Chrysostom Yuyan is talented. Since becoming an official, he has served in Fengxiang, Hangzhou, Mizhou, Xuzhou, Huzhou, Huangzhou, Ruzhou and other places, and has served in fighting floods and destroying locusts, helping the poor and orphans, and turning the people into people, with excellent political achievements. After serving as the right minister, he cooperated with his younger brother Su Zhe to govern the Yellow River and reform the accounting system; Striking a balance between the new party and the old party, we tried to protect the "Exemption Law", "Baojia Law", and "Fangtian Law", which were regarded as good laws by the common people, and reformed and enforced the flawed "Shiyi Law" to increase tax revenue for the imperial court. The departure of such a talented and good official who took pity on the people, the people of Bianjing couldn't help but be greatly hurt and scolded the court for not knowing talents.
Su Shi resigned and begged to go, and the post of right minister naturally became vacant. LΓΌ Dafang was replaced by Liu Zhi, the servant of his subordinate, but the empress dowager took a fancy to Fan Chunren, who was the privy envoy at the time. However, Fan Chunren looked at Su Shi's fate, and then looked at Liu Zhi's tiger-eyed eyes, and there was a silence in his heart, using the excuse that he was not born in the imperial examination, and he had no great achievements since he became an official. As a result, Liu Zhi finally got his wish and ascended to the phase. And while the Shuo party in the court celebrated the victory, the little emperor quietly changed into the clothes of a commoner, and left the palace with Murong Fu to see the world-famous "Dongpo Poetry Society".
