Later, when Murong Fu planned to settle for the next best thing and directly grant You Tanzhi the title of marquis or even king, although You Ji and You Ju had no objection, You Tanzhi's wife Xiao Sesu stood up and declined the holy offer.
Murong Fu asked her the reason in confusion, and Xiao Sesu said that she didn't like her husband wielding swords and guns, fighting in the battlefield all his life, and being burdened by fame and wealth. The two of them had already agreed to live an ordinary life in the future, and asked for help. After the master has completed his great work, he must retire to the countryside with him.
As if worried that Murong Fu would misunderstand and become suspicious, Xiao Sesu hurriedly explained that she and You Tanzhi's children would be trained to enter the official career and continue to serve Dayan.
Murong Fu listened to Xiao Sesu's explanation and guessed some of her thoughts. This smart woman must be worried that she would be like the emperors in ancient times, who hid their bows after the great cause was completed, which would be detrimental to You Tanzhi.
Although Murong Fu felt magnanimous, it was normal for Xiao Sese to have such worries. Murong Fu did not blame her and agreed to her request on the spot.
Xiao Sese was immediately grateful and knelt down to worship. ?.?????.???
Back to business.
Murong Fu was still very happy about You Ji's arrival. Although he was an emperor now, he still preferred the ways of the Jianghu people, so he immediately took him aside to chat.
You Tanzhi stood silently behind his father without saying a word.
When it was almost done, Murong Fu asked about You Ji's purpose.
You Ji said, "Your Majesty..."
"Privately, if big brother calls me like that again, there is no need to say anything else!"
Murong Fu had a straight face and pretended to be angry.
You Ji felt a warmth in his heart, opened his mouth, and then blurted out, "Good brother!"
"Brother, that's right, let's continue talking!"
Murong Fu had a smile on his face. No matter on the surface or deep down in his heart, he was very grateful to You Ji. This friendship cannot be faked.
You Ji could naturally feel his sincerity, and his eyes couldn't help but moisten as he said, "Brother Xian, I shouldn't bother you with this matter. After all, you are no longer in the world, but from the news I have recently found, it seems that this matter has happened again." It’s not that simple, so I came here to let you know.”
Murong Fu asked, "I wonder what's going on?"
You Ji said, "Xian brother must have heard that Emperor Huizong imposed taxes and many uprisings broke out in the Song Dynasty, right?"
Murong Fu nodded and said, "I heard it, could it be that this matter also involves Jianghu affairs?"
You Ji pondered for a moment, smacked his lips and asked, "Brother, have you ever heard of Mingjiao?"
"Mingjiao?"
Murong Fu was stunned for a moment, but then when he thought about the connection, he was no longer surprised.
Even the treasures of Tianning Temple were unearthed by him, and he was not surprised that the Ming Cult was involved in the Tianlong World.
After all, the original name of Mingjiao is Manichaeism. It was introduced to China in the first year of Yanzai by Wu Zetian of the Tang Dynasty. It has a history of more than 400 years.
If it were postponed for another seven or eight years, he would still be the leader of the Ming Cult when Fang La revolted.
Wait, Fang La?
Murong Fu suddenly thought of something, and a hint of deep meaning flashed in his eyes.
Seeing Murong Fu's expression, You Ji seemed to know the Ming Cult, so he asked, "Brother, have you heard of the Ming Cult? As far as I know, the Ming Cult behaves strangely. If the world is not in chaos, it will not appear in the world. It usually hides in the city and has no trace at all." The traces can be found, and I recently heard that the whereabouts of some people in the world are similar to those of the Ming Cult, so I guessed some clues. Could it be that my dear brother also knows?"
When Murong Fu heard You Ji's words, he thought that the Ming Sect might have been influenced by the trend of the times. It did not directly set up a religious altar on the top of the Guangming Peak like in the story of Yitian Slaying the Dragon. There were followers all over the world. During the Northern Song Dynasty, it was probably similar to a small-scale Religious organizations only uphold their doctrines to save sentient beings when troubled times arise.
As a result, the traces of these people are really difficult to find.
"My younger brother has heard about the Ming Cult, but in my opinion, are these uprisings related to the Ming Cult?"
Murong Fu became a little curious. If he could find out the power of Mingjiao and make use of it, it might be helpful to his great cause.
"From the news from the Beggar Clan, it seems that someone is behind the uprising, probably the Ming Cult."
You Tanzhi is still officially the leader of the Beggar Clan. Although Quan Guanqing is the deputy leader, he is controlled by the Leopard Tijin Wan and the Talisman of Life and Death, so naturally he does not dare to have any dissent. On weekdays, he encounters unresolved matters in the gang. They would take the initiative to consult with the You clan heroes. Through this back and forth, You Ji and the others also indirectly grasped the big and small news in the world.
"Do you know that they want to overthrow the old dynasty and establish a new emperor?"
Murong Fu thought to himself that if the Mingjiao was not the Mingjiao of later generations and wanted to elect an emperor to succeed him, then this would not be his help, but his enemy.
Now that Huizong was unpopular with the people, he could feel confident. But if someone else who was popular among the people was replaced as emperor, his plan would completely collapse.
Faced with Murong Fu's inquiry, You Ji shook his head and said, "The people of the Ming Cult are too sneaky. Even if the Beggar Clan has eyes and ears all over the world, they can't find their whereabouts. Although there are constant uprisings everywhere, there is no sign of the Ming Cult." Someone showed up."
After hearing this, Murong Fu frowned and felt that this matter was either big or small. If he thought about it in a small way, anyway, according to the course of history, the uprisings everywhere would sooner or later be suppressed by the Song Dynasty, so he did not have to worry.
But if you think about it more broadly, there is no Yan State that you established in history!
Why didn't the uprising become more and more powerful and eventually replace the entire Song Dynasty?
Thinking of this, Jiang Hu, who had been gradually ignored by Murong Fu, once again attracted his attention.
After seeing off You and his son, Murong Fu thought for a long time alone.
At present, the war between Liao and Jin is turning from prosperity to decline. Although Da Jin is gradually gaining the upper hand, it cannot be achieved within a year or two if it wants to destroy Da Liao. It seems that the most unstable situation at the moment is actually Murong. Fu is the least of his worries now.
However, Xixia, Tubo, and Dali are not the places that Murong Fu will definitely win in the future, and they will not pose any threat either now or in the future.
The only thing that concerned Murong Fu the most was the Song Dynasty.
For the current situation, he has been planning for nearly twenty years, and he must not let the Mingjiao break out and seize the opportunity.
"It seems that this trip is necessary!"
Murong Fu immediately summoned his ministers, and on the pretext of returning to the ancestral temple to worship his ancestors and pray to heaven, he wanted to leave the court for a period of time, which could be as short as one month or as long as three months.
If he is absent, the empress will go to court to listen to the affairs, the prime minister Gou Du will preside over the affairs of the court, and several ministers will assist in the political affairs.
Regarding Murong Fu's sudden order, all the officials looked at each other in confusion, somewhat confused.
Murong Fu didn't bother to explain. After leaving only Gou Du and several ministers, he asked all officials to withdraw.
