Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Chapter 15
It is not without reason that Guo Rong is so entangled.

Even a high-ranking emperor will encounter many constraints.In particular, the emperors of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms are more of a signboard. The arrogant soldiers will not bird you if they say no, and they will rebel if they say rebellion.

Loyalty is worthless in this day and age.

Before the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, ovaries such as Zhuge Liang, Fang Xuanling, and Wang Meng were directly hired by the heroes of the past dynasties, and they were brought by their side and entrusted with important tasks. An old man like Fei, who shared weal and woe with Liu Bei, refused to accept it and had to hold back.

In that era, wise men were respected and admired.

And now?
The chaotic turmoil of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms has caused the society to develop abnormally, and the emphasis on martial arts over literature has reached the extreme.

This is an era when warriors ruled the country. The power of generals reached its peak, and it was common for generals with military power to rebel and become emperor.

Wu Fu is revered by people, but literati are underestimated by the world.

In China's 5000-year history, there has never been a time when the status of literati was so unbearable.

Some people in later generations analyzed that the Song Dynasty's national policy of emphasizing literature over military affairs was an overcorrection of the deformed Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms emphasizing military affairs over literature.

Perhaps it has been suppressed for too long, the rejection of generals by civil officials in the Song Dynasty is unique in all ages.

Not long after Guo Rong ascended the throne, he was not stable enough at all. He originally wanted to use the special case of the Northern Han invasion to show his power and deter the arrogant soldiers.

As a result, the generals would not be killed, the soldiers could not fight, and the guards and soldiers were half old and young, regardless of strength or weakness. He was so angry that he killed more than 70 generals in one breath, and the soldiers who fled before the battle killed hundreds of people.

Although Guo Rong's move shocked the arrogant soldiers, it was like a double-edged sword hanging over their heads.

Guo Rong was so murderous that many Jiedu envoys and generals with heavy soldiers in their hands were worried that the knives on their heads would come at them.

Guo Rong was also quite helpless about this. If he didn't start killing, how could he reorganize military affairs?Without improving the combat effectiveness of the sergeants, what would the Great Zhou use to conquer the world?
Back in the capital, Guo Rong also began to appease the generals and ease their anxiety.

The military generals are powerful, and Guo Rong can only attach importance to martial arts and despise literature if he wants to stabilize the country. If a "Zhang Zifang" is reused at this time, this "Zhang Zifang" will definitely become the target of public criticism.

Guo Rong already knew Luo Youdu's background.

Apart from himself, the only power he has now is an old man butler. If all the living animals are counted, it is just an extra donkey.

How can you fight against the entire generals group with this power?

What's more, in the dispute between Wei Renpu and Zhao Kuangyin, Luo Youdu has already offended some generals.It's just that his status is too low, and the price is lowered to him.

Luo Youdu's rise at this time will do him all harm but no benefit.

But Guo Rong was worried that Luo Youdu would not be reused, so he was dissatisfied and switched to Jiangnan.

Jiangnan is the only place in the world today that values ​​literati. There are already many literati and officials in the Central Plains who could not bear the humiliation and went south to the Tang Dynasty.

If Luo Youdu really wanted to join the Tang Dynasty, wouldn't that be the same as Zhuge Liang's surrender to Liu Xuande?

That's why Guo Rong just eats without saying a word, just thinking about how to arrange Luo Youdu.

Not wanting Luo Youdu to understand his own difficulties, Guo Rong let go of his worries and said proudly: "Give me a year, and I will definitely give you a corresponding status."

One year is enough for him to settle down in this world.

Luo Youdu didn't care about these nonsense at all.

Experience in the workplace, as a wage earner, you don't need to let everyone know your strength, but you must let your boss and superiors know your ability.

Luo Youdu knew that he had no foundation at all, and being too showy would be detrimental to his development.As long as the emperor Guo Rong recognizes himself, he is not afraid that there will be no chance of rising, so he said: "The world has been in turmoil for a hundred years, but His Majesty is expected to wipe out the barbarians and rule the world. It is enough to follow the Ming Lord to create a great cause, and nothing else is required. .”

Guo Rong also had this ambition, and he believed that no one in the world could compare with himself, so he said proudly: "Then you and I will follow the story of Han Gaozu and Zhang Liuhou, and end this troubled world!"

He said and raised his glass!
Luo Youdu raised his glass in response, and drank the fine wine in the glass.

Guo Rong put down the wine glass in his hand and said: "Tell me the truth, I am very dissatisfied with the Kaifeng mansion. Cui Yantong is talented in criminal law, but he has no responsibility and is indecisive. Zhang Yue and Lu Bin have their own ideas. In order to compete for the position of judge The defeat of the country. Cui Yan has no suitable successor, and I am not going to move him. Zhang Yue and Lu Bin, I plan to transfer them out of Beijing to take charge of the local people's livelihood. Lu Bin's position as a legal officer is reserved for Mr. As for the seat of Zhang Yue's mansion, do you have any good recommendations?"

Luo Youdu said almost without thinking: "My colleague, Facao Yin Yide is proficient in law. He has worked in Kaifeng Mansion for many years and is familiar with things. He can take up this position."

Guo Rong didn't even think about it, and said, "That's him."

Of course, Luo Youdu will not forget that Yin Yide stabbed him in the back, and it is precisely because Yin Yide stabbed him that he will recommend Yin Yide at this time.

There is no other reason, Yin Yide's political methods are not clever.

Luo Youdu is absolutely sure that he will be in his hands. Instead of letting another person with strategy and power, or directly come to a second generation with a rich background to be the mansion of Kaifeng, it is better to let Yin Yide be the man.

He didn't want to be a law enforcement officer for the rest of his life. The weaker his competitors were, the greater his chances of being promoted.

A little friction, what is it in front of your own future?
Guo Rong kept pulling Luo Youdu to chat with him until the palace was sealed off, and then reluctantly let Luo Youdu go. Before leaving, he still said that he would go to Kaifeng Mansion to talk about world affairs with him when he had time, and arranged for several imperial guards to escort him go home.

After leaving the imperial city, Luo Youdu rode on his little donkey and walked slowly under the escort of the palace guards.

Looking at the strong imperial guards, Luo Youdu was secretly envious in his heart. Choosing to be a civil servant in this era is really a forced decision.

As long as my body has extraordinary strength and physique, as long as I have learned a few tricks in later generations, I will not be a civil servant no matter what.

What's more, military power is the most real power in this chaotic world. In this chaotic world of eating people, Luo Youdu always feels uneasy in his heart without any soldiers.

Looking up at the stars in the sky, Luo Youdu suddenly heard a sentence from Zhuge Liang in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", a general who doesn't understand astronomy, geography, yin and yang, strange men, armor and formations is a mediocrity .

He stared at the stars all over the sky, like an old cow listening to the piano, and said silently: Zhang Zifang, I am afraid that I am not a mediocre person.

The stars twinkled, reflecting Luo Youdu's dark eyes.

The eyes are getting brighter and brighter, no, can't you learn?

Who said that leading troops is just for generals?Who said civil servants can't command soldiers?

Aren't Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi, and Lu Xun all civil servants?

If I don't understand military affairs, I will never even think about commanding a soldier in my life. As long as I have this ability, there is this possibility.

How about emphasizing martial arts and despising literature?

Couldn't he make his way out as a civil servant?
　Thank you book friend Xingchen Tianxuan for the five thousand reward, hehe, thank you very much.
