Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Chapter 173 Matchmaking
Luo Youdu stared at Guo Rong's performance in a daze, watching his serious nonsense, a little bit dumbfounded, and a small secret joy was inevitable in his heart.

These days, he has let Guo Rong whet his appetite, and has been thinking about what the "gift" in his mouth is.

Now it seems that what the "gift" is is self-evident.

Although this description may be slightly disrespectful to the empress of the Great Zhou Dynasty in history, in front of a king like Guo Rong, the empress of the Great Zhou Dynasty is really no different from a gift.

At this moment, Sun Sheng also saw what Guo Rong meant. He had no opinion on the conditions of the strike, and even agreed with it.

However, if the things he asked for were not properly handled, it would be impossible for the Great Zhou to strike in the short term.

However, he couldn't be any master in this matter, so he could only say: "Your Majesty's request, please allow your ministers to report back to my master."

Guo Rong was already blunt, and waved directly: "Go!"

Sun Sheng left the government office together with Li Deming who didn't say a word.

After Fan Zhi and Wang Pu left, they also left with official duties.

Guo Rong looked at his confidant with a smile and said, "Are you satisfied with this gift, sir?"

Without any hesitation, Luo Youdu bowed directly and said, "Thank you Your Majesty for your concern, I am so grateful that I have nothing to repay."

That's what Guo Rong wanted.

In this Huainan battle, Luo Youdu's performance was really amazing.

Whether it is the military capabilities shown, or the strategic foresight, administrative capabilities, and even ghost calculations, they are all extremely excellent.

It is really as comprehensive as Zhuge Wuhou in the Three Kingdoms period.

Guo Rong has great ambitions, and he knows that if he wants to conquer the world and become an existence comparable to or even surpassing Li Shimin, it is absolutely impossible for him to do it alone, and he needs the support of various talents.

Luo Youdu is undoubtedly the most amazing and dazzling existence.

In the face of this kind of talent, it is not an exaggeration to use any means to win over.

He handed Li Jing's letter to Luo Youdu and said, "This is a letter for you, but you haven't read it, look!"

Luo Youdu took the letter and looked at it carefully. The previous text was all lies, only the last one was about the covenant with Zhou Ehuang's three lives. Looking at the words of the childhood sweetheart and childhood sweetheart, there was indeed a little girl in his vague memory who called him "Brother Xiaohu" "Follow his ass around.

But this was all a few years ago.

Guo Rong snorted and said: "Judging from Zhou Zong's usual behavior, even if the so-called three-life covenant really happened at the beginning, it disappeared after the father was demoted. In all likelihood, it is because the daughter is too good. It's a price for sale. It is no exaggeration to marry his daughter to a prince in his capacity. He has been delaying, and may even have the dream of making his daughter a queen. The battle for the crown prince in the south of the Yangtze River is becoming more and more fierce .”

Luo Youdu saw that Guo Rong explained Zhou Zong's thoughts in a single word, and secretly marveled: Compared with himself relying on the foresight of a traveler.

Here, Guo Rong relied entirely on his own judgment on the situation of people's hearts and a manifestation of his personal ability.

Luo Youdu praised: "Your Majesty has a good opinion."

Guo Rong smiled triumphantly and said: "There is a good sentence in Li Jing's letter, Zhou E is the most talented person in the south of the Yangtze River, how can those idiots in the south of the Yangtze River be worthy of it? Since he used beauty tricks on Mr., then I will let him pay for it." The beauties lost their soldiers again, anyway, the fat and water don't flow into the field of outsiders..."

He smiled deeply, but he was thinking in his heart: From now on, it is my grace for Mr. to embrace his first wife, and it is also my grace to hold his concubine. Are you afraid that he will not do his best to serve Da Zhou?
Sun Sheng and Li Deming took the boat across the river and prepared to return to Jinling.

Li Deming said with a bitter face: "Sun Sikong, what do you say when you go back?"

Sun Sheng said slowly, "Just tell the truth."

Li Deming sighed: "Unexpectedly, the emperor of Zhou would abolish the government for personal reasons."

Sun Sheng was silent for a moment, and said: "In the eyes of people like him, there is no distinction between public and private, only whether it is worth it or not. Do you think Luo Youdu is worthy of him?"

Li Deming was speechless, Luo Youdu was the number one sufferer in Datang.

Southern Tang Palace.

Li Jing rubbed his swollen forehead, feeling like a splitting headache.

Originally, I was worried about the arrival of the Great Zhou army, but there was an argument inside the temple over the establishment of a reserve.

Compared with the most normal eldest son inheritance law in other eras, the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms began to imitate the early reserve system of the ethnic minorities because brothers end up with brothers because they were too chaotic and things happened too frequently.

After Li Jing ascended the throne, he immediately appointed his younger brother Shou Wang Li Jingsui as the emperor's younger brother.

However, compared to Li Jingsui's mediocrity, Li Hongji, Li Jing's eldest son, is extremely dazzling, quiet and reticent, but has extraordinary talents.

When Dazhou invaded Huainan, Li Hongji was stationed in Runzhou, and the situation was critical.

Considering that Li Hongji was young, Li Jing wanted to recall Li Hongji in a hurry.

However, Li Hongji decided to defend Runzhou with the generals and fight to the death, which greatly boosted the morale of the whole army.

The current general, Chai Kehong, was also promoted by Li Hongji at the expense of his own life.

Chai Kehong defeated the Wuyue army, and his great achievements are naturally attributed to Li Hongji.

Li Hongji's prestige immediately surpassed that of the emperor's younger brother Li Jingsui.

Because of this, more and more people began to recommend changing Li Hongji as the prince.

Even Li Jingsui himself was afraid of Li Hongji's power and did not dare to fight for the front, so he wrote a letter requesting to return to the vassal.

But Li Jing didn't like Li Hongji's son. He felt that he was too contemptuous of the imperial power and didn't want to pass on the crown prince to him because he made decisions without asking for instructions.

"Daddy!"

A young man in his twenties yelled outside the house.

"come in!"

A smile appeared on Li Jing's face, it was his sixth son Li Congjia who came.

Compared with the disobedient Li Hongji, Li Jing's favorite is the second son Li Hongmao and the sixth son Li Congjia.

It's a pity that Li Hongmao passed away six years ago, and Li Congjia, who is the most obedient and literary, has become a favorite.

Li Jing smiled and called Li Congjia to come to his side, and said, "Have you written any poems lately?"

My six sons are the best at poetry and prose, especially lyrics, which can be called a masterpiece.

Every time Li Jing reads his poems, he has a feeling that my son can be compared with Li Taibai.

Li Congjia said: "Recently I have no inspiration, and I have never had any good poems."

He was quite handsome, like a woman, but when he opened his mouth, he revealed two big buck teeth like rabbits, which ruined the overall beauty.

Li Jing laughed loudly: "It seems that my son is in a good mood recently, very good."

He knew his son very well.

Naturally sentimental, the inspiration for writing poems often comes from that touch of sadness.

This lack of inspiration usually means a happy mood.

"Daddy, my son wants to marry Zhou Situ's eldest daughter, so you can be my matchmaker!"

Li Jing's complexion changed instantly, thinking of the person he couldn't ask for, and said calmly: "Didn't I say it earlier, that Zhou Ehuang already has a fiancé-in-law."

Li Congjia said anxiously: "But Situ said that he will not marry his daughter to the villains who invaded my territory. Doesn't this mean that sister Ehuang can marry a child?"

He squinted his eyes and smiled extremely sweetly, no wonder he had no inspiration at all.
