"North Qiaofeng, South Murong..." Jia Sidao's eyes showed a trace of coldness, "Has Murong come back yet?"
Liao Yingzhong, the chief counselor standing next to him, stepped forward and replied: "My lord, Murong Fu has been waiting in the side hall for a long time."
"Let him come over." Jia Sidao snorted coldly, saw Qin Keqing who was kneeling on the ground, and waved his hands impatiently, "Back down first, it's not shameful enough."
"Yes~" Jia Zhen walked out with Qin Keqing as if she had been pardoned.
As soon as the two of them left, Murong Fu also walked into the study, seeing Jia Sidao's face sinking like water from a distance, he couldn't help but feel a little bit in his heart, he hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Murong Fu is meeting Mr. Jia."
Just now after Song Qingshu and his party left, he was about to heal his father, when Jia's mansion sent someone to call him over, Murong Fu didn't dare to neglect, and hurried over, because Jia Sidao was still at the palace banquet, so he had to wait in the side hall , the more I waited, the more anxious I became.
Jia Sidao didn't seem to hear what he said, he just drank his tea there, treating Murong Fu who was bowing in front of him as air.
Because the other party didn't answer, Murong Fu couldn't get up well, so he could only bend down and maintain a salute posture, and he was tired, the main reason was that this scene made him extremely embarrassed.
Soon a trace of anger rose in his heart, he Murong Fu is also a well-known figure in the arena, he is a guest of honor wherever he goes, how could he ever suffer such insults
If it had been before, he might have walked away in a huff, but today, after being defeated by Wu Tiande and Song Qingshu three times in a row, his heart has long since disappeared. Coupled with his father's persuasion, he now understands that for the sake of the revival of the Yan Kingdom, the momentary humiliation is nothing. What, is still respectfully holding the posture of the luggage.
Jia Sidao's face looked better now, and Liao Yingzhong, who was on the side, immediately came out to ease the atmosphere: "My lord, Mr. Murong is here."
"Oh~" Jia Sidao acted as if he saw Murong Fu only now, "So it's Mr. Murong, sit down."
Hearing the thorn in his tone, Murong Fu hastily declined: "If you don't get paid for nothing, Murong Fu has no face."
Jia Sidao sneered: "There is also self-knowledge."
At this moment, Murong Fu's heart was already calm, he turned a deaf ear to his cynicism, and still maintained a respectful attitude on his face.
"Young Master Murong, you disappointed me this time." Jia Sidao snorted.
Murong Fu's heart skipped a beat, and the questioning of the teacher has begun! Hastily said: "If you fail your lord's high expectations, I really deserve to die."
"Damn you!" Jia Sidao slapped the table hard, "If it weren't for Wang Ziteng's face, do you think you would still be standing here alive?" Wang Ziteng's two younger sisters, one married Jia Like Dao, one is married to Xue Ji; as for his third uncle's cousins, one is married to Li Qingluo, and the other is married to Murong Bo. Speaking of which, the Murong family is not only related to the Wang family, but also to the Jia family. Also considered relatives.
Murong Fu froze: "Thank you for your kindness."
"Don't thank you too early, I haven't said I'll forgive you yet." Jia Sidao stood up, "The majestic Gusu Murong Fu can't even win against a person who has been hollowed out by wine and sex. I knew that You shouldn't have replaced Guo Jing in the first place!"
Murong Fu suddenly hesitated and said: "I have something about Guo Jing, I don't know if I should talk about it or not?"
Jia Sidao frowned: "Say!"
"Will Guo Jing play a play with Han Tuozhou and the others?" Murong Fu continued to roughly explain what his father had taught him before.
Knowing about Huang Rong's stay with Song Qingshu, Jia Sidao was not surprised at all. It turned out that Zhao Gou kidnapped Huang Rong deliberately to hide the truth from everyone. The only ones in the palace who knew the inside story were Huang Chang, Zhao Gou, and those two. Confidant eunuchs and masters are just a few people. Jia Sidao didn't know that Huang Rong was kidnapped by the emperor, but now that he knew where Song Qingshu was, he suddenly realized, no wonder he had used so many resources before and couldn't find any news.
"Okay, I got it." Jia Sidao didn't say anything about Murong Fu's words, "You go down first."
"Yes." Murong Fu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, walked a few steps outside and was stopped by Jia Sidao again.
"Wait!" Jia Sidao hesitated for a moment and said, "Although you lost the competition this time and did not get the military power in Sichuan, I won a post for you as a transport envoy with the army. You go back and pack up and salute, and prepare to go to Sichuan. .”
Murong Fu couldn't help being overjoyed: "Thank you sir!"
The transfer envoy manages the money and grain of the road (the road in the Song Dynasty is similar to the concept of the present province), and it also involves the power of assessing officials, which is completely equivalent to the highest officer of the road. , but even so, it is also a position of real power.
Murong Fu had been in the Southern Song Dynasty for so many years, so he naturally knew about these bureaucratic systems. At the same time, he also knew that Jia Sidao had lost his military power in Sichuan, so he must use another method to install his confidantes.
Jia Sidao waved his hand: "You step back first, someone will explain the specific matters to you."
"Yes~" Murong Fu was happy in his heart, and his steps were much lighter when he left.
After Murong Fu left, Jia Sidao asked, "What do you think of Murong Fu's words?"
Liao Yingzhong said in a deep voice, "Murong Fu's move is definitely a suspicion of dumping the blame."
Jia Sidao snorted: "It's true that he is throwing the blame, but what he said is not unreasonable."
Liao Yingzhong frowned and said, "But my subordinates don't think Guo Jing is the kind of double-faced person."
"Knowing people, knowing faces but not knowing one's heart," Jia Sidao sighed, "Do you know what Han Tuozhou said to the emperor at the palace banquet just now?"
"What did you say?" Liao Ying thought it must be related to Guo Jing, otherwise he wouldn't have such an expression.
Jia Sidao sneered: "Han Tuozhou is like the emperor recommending Guo Jing as the deputy chief of the palace! Hmph, what a Guo Jing, what a Han Tuozhou!"
"Is this really the case?" Liao Yingzhong was taken aback. If so, the matter would be serious.
"Can I still lie to you?" Jia Sidao squinted his eyes and said with some dissatisfaction.
"This subordinate dare not," Liao Yingzhong realized that she had said something wrong, and hurriedly asked, "Did the emperor agree?"
Jia Sidao shook his head: "During this period of time, the emperor has been obedient to Han Tuozhou's words, but for some reason, the emperor actually rejected his request this time, and instead reassigned him as the governor of Zhenjiang to prepare for the Northern Expedition."
No matter how powerful Ren Jia Sidao's intelligence network was, he didn't know that Guo Jing was a descendant of Guo Rong in the Later Zhou Dynasty. How could Zhao Gou rest assured that he would serve as the deputy commander of the Dianqian Division? At that time, if Guo Jing also followed Zhao Kuangyin's example and made a mutiny, wouldn't it be the reincarnation of heaven
"Guo Jing is really struggling!" Liao Yingzhong hesitated but couldn't help but said, "But Guo Jing doesn't seem like someone who can devise such a complicated conspiracy."
"Guo Jing may not have come up with this plan," Jia Sidao snorted, "Don't forget that he also has a good wife, Zhuge."
Liao Yingzhong nodded and said, "That makes sense."
Jia Sidao walked to the window, looked at the stars in the sky, and finally said after a long time: "Those who betray me will not let him have a good end."
The temperature in the whole room dropped instantly, and Liao Ying shuddered, knowing that he had already launched a murderous plan, so she didn't dare to say another word.
In the early morning of the second day, Song Qingshu woke up sleepily, and it turned out that Lin Pingzhi and Yue Lingshan came to him to say goodbye. Lin Ruhai was introduced for him at the last banquet. Knowing the relationship between Lin Pingzhi and Song Qingshu, Lin Ruhai no longer underestimated this distant relative, and quickly used his relationship to find a job for him.
Because Sichuan had just been recovered, a large number of officials were urgently needed, so although Lin Pingzhi had no fame, he took the opportunity to get a place.
"Pingzhi, you are going to Sichuan. Although you have to take revenge, don't let the hatred blind your eyes. A man was born in troubled times, and he should carry a three-foot sword to make immortal achievements. Compared with revenge, I believe that the ancestors of the Lin family Lie Zong also hopes that you can do a good job to honor your ancestors." Song Qingshu instructed.
Lin Pingzhi saluted respectfully: "Thank you, Brother Song, for your teaching."
Song Qingshu sighed secretly, although Lin Pingzhi's tone was respectful, it could be seen that he didn't listen to his own words, at this moment his mind was still thinking about revenge.
Looking at Yue Lingshan at the side, Song Qingshu said: "Lingshan, stay with Pingzhi and take care of him, and don't let him do anything impulsive in a moment's heat."
Yue Lingshan bowed and said sweetly, "Brother Song, I will."
Looking at her rosy lips, Song Qingshu couldn't help recalling that soft touch, and couldn't help but feel a wave in his heart. But he immediately calmed down and began to think: Linghu Chong, Linghu Chong, I've already helped anyone who can. As for whether Yue Lingshan chooses you or Lin Pingzhi in the end, it depends on your own destiny. It is impossible to help you all the time without principle, Lin Pingzhi is also a poor man...
In fact, sometimes he also ponders a question, is it unfair to Lin Pingzhi? Later, he gradually figured it out, because of his intervention, Lin Pingzhi must have had a better ending than the original book's tragic ending, but Linghu Chong was much less happy than the original book, so he more or less wanted to make up for him.
What Lin Pingzhi wanted most was revenge, so he gave him martial arts cheats and contacts in the officialdom; Linghu Chong wanted Yue Lingshan the most, so he matched the two appropriately.
Hope all three of them have a good ending in the end...
Not long after Lin Pingzhi and Yue Lingshan left, Guo Jing came to visit. Huang Rong got the news and came out of the inner house excitedly. Fortunately, Song Qingshu backed away in time so that her whereabouts were not exposed.
Guo Jing smiled bitterly and said, "Rong'er, Brother Song, I'm here to say goodbye to you."
Both Huang Rong and Song Qingshu were surprised: "Did something happen?"
"I was appointed by the imperial court as the governor of Zhenjiang, and I am going to take up the post today. I will go to Zhenjiang to prepare for the Northern Expedition to the Kingdom of Jin." Guo Jing recounted what happened at the palace banquet last night.
Song Qingshu was secretly frightened, thinking that the Southern Song Dynasty would soon go to the Northern Expedition, and he had to rush back to the Kingdom of Jin as soon as possible to make preparations.
Huang Rong hurriedly said, "Then I'll go with you."
Guo Jing shook his head: "No, for one thing, if you just ran out of the palace, if you openly showed your face by my side, it's hard to guarantee how the emperor will react when he becomes angry from embarrassment; secondly, Zhenjiang is busy with military affairs and there is danger, you are pregnant Needs rest, can't venture there."
Huang Rong was actually aware of these things, but she was anxious when she heard it: "But I can't live here forever...brother Song."
Guo Jing was also embarrassed, and Song Qingshu said at this time: "Well, it happens that Lin'an City is not too far from Peach Blossom Island. I will send my wife back to Peach Blossom Island to recuperate. How do you like to be able to raise your baby in peace?" (.)
