As expected, Da Jin took advantage of the night and left the city with Murong Fu's waistband in hand. When Yelu Yanxi planned to intercept them outside the city the next day and wait for an opportunity to humiliate the opponent, little did he know that Wanyan Agu had beaten them and ran away. Gone.
Yelu Yanxi and Xiao Fengxian were very angry about this. Although they had signed a treaty and could not invade each other, they relied on their three thousand elite cavalry to capture all three hundred people in Dajin and teach them a lesson and humiliate them. It's not breaking the rules.
I never thought that Wanyan Agu would be so cunning in beating them up and actually leave under the cover of night.
Seeing Yelu Yanxi and others jumping up and down with anger, Murong Fu felt contempt and sent them out of the city. ?.?????.ℂ??
Before leaving, Yelu Yanxi said that he would remove the officials from Xijing Road as soon as possible and hand them over to him.
Murong Fu didn't care about this. What he wanted was not the Nantong land of Xijing Road. In addition to his Yanbei, Xijing Road was the connection between the north and the Song Dynasty. If he occupied this place, it would block the Liao and Jin Dynasties. Having a relationship with the Song Dynasty would not be helpful to his future plans.
What he really wants is the resources and people located in Xijing Road. It is conceivable that when the Liao and Jin wars start again a year later, what will happen to the Khitan people who know that the war is about to begin?
Stay in the country and become a refugee, or be captured and become a young man?
No need to think about it, they will naturally run away if they can, and they will all come south.
At that time, Murong Fu controlled all the necessary routes to the south. Under such a general situation, he could take all the refugees for his own use, so as to enhance Dayan's national power.
It can be said that Murong Fu killed three birds with one stone this time. He not only sold favors to Dai Jin, but also asked for a large area of land from Daliao. After the war between the two countries, he was able to harvest countless laborers, and for For himself, he was just talking words and intimidating both sides, without even spending a single soldier.
As the Liao army left, Murong Chengze and Yue Fei were very excited when they learned what had happened. They did not expect that their father could easily give the two sides a handoff, and even willingly. This strategy was even more exciting than a game on the battlefield. .
Both of them looked at Murong Fu with admiration.
Not to mention the two little guys, even the few people who knew about it, such as Gong Yeqian and You Tanzhi, were inexplicably shocked by Murong Fu's methods, and they respected him as if they were a ghost or a god.
Murong Fu, on the other hand, was not very excited about this. After all, the entire territory of Xijing Road covers the border between Liaodong and Xixia. It is not big, but it is not small. He wants to develop people's livelihood within one year. Get up, this is no small matter.
Murong Fu returned to Longcheng that day and immediately summoned the ministers of the DPRK to discuss the matter.
When Murong Fu lamented that his few ministers could not be used for their duties, Zhu Dunru immediately stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I have two friends in Luoyang, both of whom are rare talents in the world and state affairs in a century. I sincerely ask your Majesty to allow me to take care of the country with you." I wrote two letters, urging them to come to Yanbei and show their talents."
Only then did Murong Fu remember that Zhu Dunru seemed to be known as the "Eight Talents in Luozhong" and couldn't help but ask, "The person who can be recommended by Xizhen must have extraordinary talents. I wonder who he is?"
Zhu Dunru said, "One of them, named Chen Yuyi, is known as 'Shi Jun'. He is an old friend of Wei Chen. I remember that he was only fifteen or sixteen years old when he left Luoyang, but Wei Chen has been communicating with him through letters over the years." , I dare to guarantee to Your Majesty that this person will be of great use."
Murong Fu smiled and said, "I agree! I wonder who the other person is?"
Zhu Dunru said, "This person's surname is Zhao Mingding, his courtesy name is Yuanzhen, and he currently lives in Luoyang and is an idle official."
"Oh? Tell me in detail."
Murong Fu never looked at things only on the surface. Although he heard that Zhao Ding was just an idle official, he was not disappointed and instead asked curiously.
Zhu Dunru was afraid that Murong Fu would underestimate Zhao Ding because of his official position at this time. After seeing Zhao Ding showing interest, he calmed down and continued, "This Zhao Ding was a Jinshi in the fifth year of Chongning. Because of his countermeasures At that time, he accused Zhang Dun, the prime minister at the time of Zhezong, of mistreating the country, thus offending the old ministers in the court. After being demoted to Luoyang, he got to know the ministers."
"This man cares about the people, has a solid foundation and is generous to the people. Although he lives in the prosperous place of Luoyang, he advocates cultivating people's livelihood. When I was in Liaoxi County, I often asked this good friend for advice. Now His Majesty wants to open up the Xijing Road as a Used by Dayan, I believe that if this person can be appointed, he will definitely help His Majesty accomplish great things."
Gou Du also said at this time, "What Xizhen said is true. Zhao Ding and Zhao Yuan Town have a genius. If we can invite this person to help, after a few years of experience, he can even sit in my position."
Murong Fu did not expect that there were such strange people in Luoyang. Even Gou Du said so. He immediately ordered Zhu Dunru to go back to Luoyang in person and be sure to invite these two people.
Zhu Dunru accepted the order and set off that day.
For his safety, Murong Fu sent two shadow assassins to protect him personally when he returned to Luoyang.
…
Half a month passed in the blink of an eye, Zhu Dunru returned to Dragon City with two young talents, and then entered the palace without stopping.
After Murong Fu learned about it, he put Shuang'er down in his arms, tidied up his clothes, and met the three of them.
Behind Zhu Dunru was a handsome young man, and a fair-faced man with a square face. The young man looked around curiously, until Murong Fu appeared, he quickly withdrew his gaze and lowered his head slightly.
The other man with a square face had a calm demeanor and stood quietly where he was.
"My lord, Zhu Dunru, the Minister of Civil Affairs, is here to see Your Majesty!"
Zhu Dunru took the lead in kneeling down and bowing to Murong Fu.
When the young man saw this, he hurriedly knelt down and shouted, "Chen Yuyi, a grassroots citizen, come to kowtow to Your Majesty!"
The square-faced man was also unambiguous, saluting and saying, "Zhao Ding, a common man, comes to pay homage to Your Majesty!"
Murong Fu nodded and said, "I love you so much, please invite the two wise men!"
Chen Yuyi was successful as a young man and said lively, "Your Majesty, I wonder if Dayan has an imperial examination?"
Murong Fu smiled and said, "The founding of Dayan was short-lived, and the establishment of Enke may not be implemented until next year."
After hearing this, Chen Yuyi was a little disappointed and said, "Don't ordinary people have to wait until next year to take the scientific examination and become an official in the court?"
Murong Fu said, "I have heard of the reputation of Luozhong's 'Poetry Master' for a long time. Talents like Mr. Chen and Xianshi Zhao naturally do not need to pass scientific examinations to prove themselves."
At this time, Zhao Ding, who had been silent, spoke.
"As the saying goes, no merit will be rewarded, so I would like to ask your majesty to allow Brother Chen and me to work under Zhu Shangshu. When we make great achievements in the future, I would like to ask your majesty to grant us official positions."
Murong Fu saw his thoughts at a glance and nodded in agreement.
After all, Zhao Ding once served as an official in the Song Dynasty. Although he was not reused, he was born in the Song Dynasty and received a salary from the court for several years. He still had some grudges about becoming an official in the Great Yan Dynasty.
The reason why he did not want an official position was because he felt that he was no longer the empress of the Ming Dynasty, so that he could escape easily.
In this way, Murong Fu did not need to arrange the affairs of Zhao Ding and Chen Yuyi. Although Zhu Dunru was currently the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, because there were too few civil servants under his command, Murong Fu directly left the mess of Xijing Road to him to deal with. .
Similarly, Murong Chengze, as a disciple of Zhu Dunru, wanted to go to Xijing Road with him to govern.
Yue Fei originally wanted to learn from him, but Murong Fu felt that he was more suitable in the military camp, so he asked Zhe Yanzhi to continue teaching Yue Fei the art of war, and Han Baizhan and others taught him martial arts one after another.
