42. In Tokyo 2 Imperial Palace Tour

Zhiwei looked at me for a while, and sighed: "Murong Gongzi is really a rare person who Zhiwei can't see through, whether he is ambitious or free in the world, it seems that he doesn't care." However, Zhiwei believes in her eyes, at least Gongzi is not a person who loves to kill evil, if there are more compassionate people like Gongzi in the world, maybe the days of peace can be longer. Anyway, Jingzhai and the Song family still have some karma, and Zhiwei will help you mediate, saving the son from sulking. ”

I nodded my head in acquiescence, after all, the Murong family's connections in the officialdom of the Song Dynasty are still relatively thin, and it would be better if someone directly recommended them.

The next day, there was news in the palace, the Empress Dowager Gao of the Great Song Dynasty and the Emperor Zhao Xu invited me to meet me, probably because of the influence of the Tianxiang Pavilion's silver ticket offensive and Cihang Jingzhai, the Great Song Dynasty royal family attached great importance to this visit, and the place to meet me was the place where the emperor officially looked at the court, "Zichen Palace", but before the official meeting, I had a lot of conflicts with the guard hall.

A general surnamed Liu, who looked a little old-fashioned, said angrily: "Mr. Murong, what an important place in the palace is in the palace, and what a noble person the queen mother and the official family are, it is not only rude to bring a sword to the palace, but also violates the rules of my palace guards, where is the duty, please dissolve the sword." ”

I said leisurely: "This sword is the symbol of my sect, I am a swordsman, the sword is not separated from the body is the basic cultivation of the next, General Liu wants me to untie the sword, I'm afraid I can't do it." What's more, as far as I know, there are many people who bring swords to the palace and face the king. ”

A guard next to me drew his sword and pointed at me and said, "Bold, what kind of character are you, how can you be qualified to bring a sword-faced king." Holding a sword to the temple, is it trying to assassinate the queen mother? ”

With a flick of my fingers, the guard took a few steps back like an arrow, and the sword in his hand fell to the ground with a thud. "Zheng Zheng Zheng", the guard next to me quickly drew his sword and stared at me, and the guards in the distance also kept approaching, and the situation became tense for a while. I said lightly: "No one can point a sword at me, if it weren't for the respect for the royal family, you would have been corpses a long time ago." After finishing speaking, his right hand slashed horizontally in the air, and the dozen or so swords that pointed at me were all broken, and the sword heads fell to the ground one after another, and a group of guards looked at each other with the remaining half of the short swords in their hands, thinking of the legend about Murong Sword Saint, and there was already a look of fear on their faces.

The leader, General Liu, said loudly with an ugly face: "All the soldiers listen to the order and protect the palace." ”

"Deling" For a while, countless murderous armored soldiers poured out from behind and on both sides of the palace, and it seemed that they had been prepared for a long time, and they were all fully armed, as if they were facing a great enemy.

I calmly said in a remote voice: "If Murong wants to assassinate, what is the difference between having a sword in his hand and not having a sword?" If the official family of the Great Song Dynasty is timid and afraid of things, they dare not meet, and they will leave next. The voice spread far away, all the way to the depths of the palace.

"Bold!" "Presumptuous! "Eyes are not kingly, you really should be killed!" Just as the air was getting more and more solemn, a eunuch came out and said: "The emperor has issued an edict to order Gusu Murong Fu to go to the palace with a sword to meet the emperor." ”

The incident was finally calmed down, so I, Shi Shiran, entered the main hall under the angry gaze of a group of guards. The characters in the hall have been waiting for a long time, the top is Emperor Zhao Xu and the Empress Dowager Gao, the two of them sit side by side, and there are eight civil and military ministers standing below, as well as many attendants and eunuchs, I noticed that many attendants in the hall are very shallow breathing, sharp eyes, and high temples, obviously all of them are masters of the house. Although the Great Song Dynasty was afraid of military generals, the Taiping and prosperous times also cultivated many masters.

I bowed slightly in the center and said, "Gusu Murong Fu, meet the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty." ”

"Bold, the village man is so rude, why don't you kowtow or meet the Queen Mother!" Fan Chunren shouted for the head.

I said indifferently: "The status of the Murong family is noble, and the ancestor was also a member of the Dayan royal family, so I think that my status is not lower than that of the emperor. In addition, there are no two days, there are no two lords of the people, and it is not a blessing for the country for the queen mother to interfere in politics, so it is okay not to worship. ”

There was an uproar in the hall for a while, and the noble status was just that, and the words directly criticizing the queen mother's interference in politics made it difficult for the people in the palace to accept. Lu Dafang saluted to the Empress Dowager Gao and said: "Empress Dowager, Murong Fu is such an arrogant and arrogant husband, please issue an order to punish the madman Murong Fu." ”

Empress Dowager Gao sat on the top and trembled all over her body and said: "I thought that the Murong family had a long inheritance and was familiar with etiquette, but I didn't expect to be so rebellious, come and blast me out." Great defense, pure benevolence, you will discuss how to deal with his crimes. ”

I said lightly: "Murong Fu came to Tokyo, but not to discuss state affairs with you, the old queen mother, and a group of waste ministers, it is a taboo to govern the country in the harem, Murong Fu entered the palace today There are 3 major events, the first of which is to abolish the position of the queen mother Gao. After saying that, my upper body remained motionless, and my right palm nudged in the air, easily knocking the royal master who leaned over and wanted to grab me to the ground. The guards in the hall were shocked, and at one time more than a dozen guards rushed up to restrain me, but they were all turned over by my fingers. The soldiers and royal masters outside the hall rushed in and shouted "escort" and "catch the assassin", but it was useless, the elite soldiers who rushed in were like straw bales, either I pointed the acupoint, or broke their hands and feet, and when I got to the back, I grabbed a guard who rushed up and threw it outside the hall, which was bound to knock over a large group of people.

From beginning to end, I did not leave the same place, my movements were relaxed and chic, and only the more than 1,000 soldiers lying down inside and outside the hall witnessed my achievements. In the end, no one even dared to come close to me within three zhang, the emperor and the queen mother were in the palace, and they could not mobilize crossbowmen to come over, so they could only surround me in a large group of people, staring at me with fear on their faces outside the three zhang.

The main hall was silent for a while, and after a while, the people in the hall believed in my reputation as "Ten Thousand Enemies" in Western Xia and "Murong Sword Saint" in the rivers and lakes. At this time, Empress Dowager Gao finally spoke: "Murong Gongzi, the official family is young, and the old man has assisted the official family for five years, the country and the people are safe, and I ask myself worthy of the emperor, why does Your Excellency want me to abdicate?" ”

I said aloud: "The queen mother used the emperor's young age as an excuse to perform the duties of the emperor in the harem, and the cadres were arbitrary, and there was no king, which is one of the great crimes; What's more, after the emperor became an adult, you fell in love with imperial power, and you refused to abdicate. The divine power of the monarch, the important weapon of the country, is such a child's play, this is the second major crime. Changing the mother to the son, reusing Sima Guang, cracking down on the new party, and willfully abolishing the policy of benefiting the people formulated by Emperor Shenzong and Wang Anshi, so that the people were at a loss, and the ministers attacked each other, which was the third major crime. Selling the land that the border soldiers had worked hard to build to the Western Xia, appeasement and currying favor with the Great Liao, Western Xia and other Fanbang countries, this is the fourth major crime. With these four major sins, the Queen Mother should not only abdicate, but also give an explanation to all the people in the world. ”

Lu Dafang stood up and said angrily: "Murong Xiao'er is ignorant and rude, he doesn't understand my Great Song Dynasty's governing strategy, ancestral family law, vainly discussing state affairs, the crime deserves death, and the minister asked the Queen Mother to order this fang to be killed." ”

I sneered: "Look, Lu Dafang, you only have the queen mother in your eyes, but has there ever been an emperor?" The royal family and court ministers of the Great Song Dynasty did not understand the basic etiquette of the supremacy of monarchy and loyalty to the monarch and patriotism, but they were full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, hypocrisy and ugliness, unsurpassed, and even had the face to blame Murong for being rude, which was really the biggest joke in history. ”

At this time, the emperor, who had been silent, finally spoke: "Murong Aiqing, you keep saying that you are loyal to the monarch and patriotic, so are you willing to obey my orders and assist me in governing the country?" ”

I bowed and saluted: "Murong Fu is an outsider, a ranger in the rivers and lakes, and he has no intention of interfering in state affairs, but when the waves are turbulent today, Fanbang is eyeing him, and the Great Song Dynasty is still indulging in the illusion of prosperity, and the crisis of overthrow and destruction is imminent. The so-called rise and fall of the world, the husband is responsible, if the Great Song Dynasty has a Ming monarch in power, then Murong is willing to assist the Ming monarch to expel the state and govern the world. ”

The official said: "When I was in the palace, I had heard of the chivalrous name of Murong Gongzi, if Aiqing was willing to assist me in rectifying the country and doing the things of the inner and outer kings, then I would like to rule the country with you." ”

Empress Dowager Gao said angrily: "Murong Fu is just a savage and a ranger, how can he be reused!" After all, the emperor is not familiar with state affairs, how can he let this madman mess with my ancestors' law. ”

Fan Chunren and a group of ministers also said: "Murong Fu has no merit for Sheji, how can he be reused." "Rebellious and rude people are not of great use! "Martial artists don't read and don't know state affairs, but the emperor still listens to the advice of the queen mother. ”

I said word by word: "I came to the palace today, the Empress Dowager Gao will definitely be abolished, if you don't agree, I will fight until you agree, the world is the world of the world, not the world of one family and one surname." Even if I kill all the princes and ministers, and destroy the country, I will not hesitate to do it. Empress Dowager Gao, do you want to die under my sword, or do you want to abdicate in the world and make way for Xian? In a word, it can be decided. ”

Empress Dowager Gao and a group of ministers lost their faces, and they were forced to do this by a martial artist, for the first time since the Song Dynasty, a group of people didn't know what to do. After a stalemate for a while, Emperor Zhao Xu said: "I have been an adult for a long time, even according to the family law of my ancestors, the imperial grandmother should no longer fall in love with the throne, and she should be in the harem for a long time." ”

Empress Dowager Gao looked at this grandson who had been raised since she was a child, angry, sad, and surprised, she didn't expect him to suddenly say such a thing, and finally couldn't help crying: "This palace has raised the official family since childhood, helping the official family to govern the world, and I don't have any selfish intentions, and my mother's family has not received any benefits since assisting the official family, I didn't expect the official family to be so ruthless, and the palace will be abolished for an outsider!" ”

Emperor Zhao Xu was scolded, and then said: "The Queen Mother is too worried, and the ministers just feel that the Queen Mother is too hard to deal with state affairs day and night, so I hope you will take off the heavy responsibility of hanging the curtain and take care of your days. ”

I said lightly: "The Queen Mother consciously has contributed to the society, and the old-fashioned ministers are also singing praises. However, although the queen mother worked state affairs, she did not know that she lacked the vision and strength of the Son of Heaven, and the appointment of civil and military ministers lacked consideration, and she insisted on using Sima Guang, Wen Yanbo and other old-fashioned ministers, and abandoned the new method of benefiting the country and the people set by Emperor Shenzong and Wang Anshi to the fullest, which not only damaged the vitality of the country, but also made the people at a loss, in addition, it also created a bad situation in which the ministers of the old and new factions attacked each other. ”
