In the Imperial Palace of Liao Dynasty, Emperor Liao was in his study, holding a copy of "Six Tao" in his hand and reading with gusto. A waiter came to report that Murong Fu, the Privy Councilor of the South Courtyard, had arrived.
Emperor Liao immediately issued an order.
After a while, Murong Fu strode in, looking high-spirited.
Living in Yiqi, nourishing Yibo, and having been in sole control for several months, he seemed to have a graceful and noble demeanor.
"Your Majesty, Murong Fu, kowtows to greet His Majesty." As soon as he entered the door, Murong Fu immediately bowed with great respect.
Emperor Liao laughed heartily, went around from behind the desk, and personally helped Murong Fu up: "Sir, you are my benefactor. I regard you as a brother and sister, so I don't need to give you such a big gift in the future."
Murong Fu cupped his hands and said: "The monarch and his ministers are inferior, and etiquette cannot be abolished."
Emperor Liao nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "You are a newlywed, so I shouldn't disturb your purity. It's just that the overthrow of Tubo and the unrest in Xixia are such major events. If I don't have the help of my husband, I would be uneasy."
Murong Fu's expression moved slightly and he said: "It is the duty of a minister to share your worries with you. Even if Your Majesty does not summon you, I would still come to the capital to meet the Holy Spirit."
"Okay! Okay!" Emperor Liao laughed, "I know that your husband is loyal to the country and will not let me down."
After a pause, Emperor Liao asked as if he was joking: "I heard that your husband was blessed with an heir ten days ago. I am really happy and congratulated."
Murong Fu suddenly felt a chill in his heart.
A month after he took charge of the South Courtyard, Emperor Liao granted him a marriage to a princess. As for the appearance of this princess...
His eyes are like Bao Bao, his mouth is like Feng Bo evil, and his body is like Yue Laosan.
Can't raise it.
On the day of the wedding, Murong Fu endured his nausea and consummated the marriage with the princess with the help of the strong smell of sheep, and he never touched her again.
But knowing the taste, it doesn’t matter if you don’t start something. Once you start, there will be demand. So Murong Fu took Abi into his room.
Ten days ago, the doctor found out that A Bi had a happy pulse. Murong kept this secret and kept it secret. No one except Bao BuTong and Feng BoE knew about it. But now, Emperor Liao knew about it. How could he not be frightened?
Murong Fu's thoughts were racing in his mind, but his face didn't show anything. He just cupped his fists and said: "Yue ago, I favored a slave after drinking, and I didn't expect that she would become pregnant... It's just a humble concubine. It can't be considered a happy event."
Emperor Liao chuckled and changed the subject. It seemed like he was really asking casually, but Murong Fu knew very well that Emperor Liao was warning him. It was obviously the princess who had Bao, Feng, and Yue all in one.
He secretly complained to Emperor Liao.
Murong Fu lamented in his heart, and he remembered the smell of the coquettish sheep again.
What makes him ashamed is that there is a strange expectation in his heart, and he wants to reject it but welcome it...
"What do you think, sir, about the affairs of Tubo and Xixia?" After a few pleasantries, Emperor Liao asked seriously.
Murong Fu regained his energy, pondered slightly, and said slowly: "I think that although Xixia has strong soldiers and horses, it may not be able to defeat Tibet. There are three reasons for this."
"I would like to hear the details." Emperor Liao said.
"Tubo is now under the control of the Tianxiahui, and the leader of the Tianxiahui is the Song Dynasty. It is a natural ally with the Song Dynasty. Once the Western Xia invades Tubo from the south, the Song Dynasty will definitely not stand idly by. This is one of the reasons."
"The terrain of Qingtang is dangerous, easy to defend but difficult to attack, and it has the advantage of being on a plateau. Although Xixia is coming fiercely, Tubo can still fight with its terrain. This is the second one."
"What evil is the Lord of the World Association? This person is very cunning and has great martial arts skills. In just three months, he has gathered hundreds of thousands of people. This shows that he is definitely not an easy person. If Helian Tieshu encounters He Xie, I am afraid that he may not be able to defeat him.
If you get the advantage, if you are not careful, you will lose your life, among other things."
When it came to the last point, Murong Fu felt very complicated and almost went crazy with jealousy!
His Murong family has worked hard for generations, but they are still wasting their time in the world. However, in just a few months since He Xie made his debut in the world, he has accomplished something that his Murong family could not do in hundreds of years.
What's more, this damn He Xie deceived his cousin Wang Yuyan.
When he thought of Wang Yuyan and the three-in-one princess, Murong Fu became even more resentful.
After listening to Murong Fu's words, Emperor Liao showed great appreciation in his eyes.
Except for the last point, which he didn't take seriously, he agreed with the first two points Murong Fu said.
This Murong Fu is very good at managing people's livelihood, training and commanding troops, and now he also seems to be very knowledgeable about the overall situation of the country. He is indeed a rare talent!
He knew that Murong Fu had other ambitions, but he was not afraid at all.
If a fish eats the bait, it is tied to the trap; if a person eats the salary, it is subordinate to the king. Therefore, if you take the fish with bait, the fish can be killed; if you take the man with the salary, the man can exhaust it.
As long as he always holds on to what Murong Fu wants, he will not worry about Murong Fu not being loyal to him and working desperately for him.
"Sir, what position do you think Daliao should take in this matter, and what can we do?" Emperor Liao continued to ask.
Murong Fu was very excited at this moment.
He has been waiting for thirty years just for such an opportunity!
He wanted to fight, not to prove how great he was, but to prove that the Murong family's lost power must be regained with his own hands!
Little Brother Murong was filled with emotions and emotions.
"Your Majesty, I believe that the time has come for us, the Liao Dynasty, to go south to attack the Song Dynasty!" Murong Fu suppressed his excitement and said slowly, "We, the Liao Dynasty, should form an alliance with Xixia, take the Song Dynasty from the east and west wings, and carve up the Central Plains
!”
Emperor Liao said expressionlessly: "But what Xixia wants to capture is Tubo, not the Song Dynasty."
Murong Fu looked firm and clasped his fists and said: "I am willing to personally go to Xixia as an envoy to persuade Empress Li of Xixia to pretend to attack Tubo, but actually seize the two states of Hehuang and Huangzhou, and target Chang'an!"
"I'm afraid Xixia won't agree," Emperor Liao shook his head. "The Song Dynasty is weak, but Tubo is brave and good at fighting. If Xixia points its sword at the Song Dynasty, they will worry about a fire in the backyard and being taken advantage of by Tubo."
Murong Fu naturally thought of this, but he remembered that his father had told him categorically that when the time came, he would be sent as an envoy to Xixia, and his father would definitely convince Empress Li to agree to an alliance.
He believes in daddy!
"I am willing to issue a military order!" Murong Fu knelt down and said sonorously, "I will definitely convince Xixia to ally with Song Dynasty!"
Emperor Liao looked deeply at Murong Fu, and after a while he slowly said: "Okay, I believe you, sir, and I will follow your instructions."
While Murong Fu was ecstatic and walked out of the palace with great ambition, He Xie was also receiving the envoys from the Song Dynasty in the Qingtang City of Tubo.
It's just that the atmosphere here is obviously not as pleasant as Murong Fu's place.
Because the envoy from the Song Dynasty came to declare an edict to He Xie.
The person who came was called Zhu Guangting. He was a fourth-rank official from the Song Dynasty, who was admonishing the officials about the matter. He was a member of the official family and came from the province. Obviously, he came on behalf of the official family.
This person can be considered a celebrity. He is a disciple of Cheng Yi. He is the protagonist of the idiom "Riding on the Spring Breeze".
This man concocted the infamous Chegaiting Poetry Case, and was demoted after the New Party was revived. Because of a severe drought in the area under his jurisdiction, he eventually knelt under the scorching sun to pray for rain and died.
