Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Chapter 186 Promotion

Chapter 186 Promotion
All the way to North Street, Luo Youdu seemed to be in a strange place.

On the wide street, there are many mansions on the left and right sides, many of which are town houses with drum stones to show their dignity.

After a year's absence, most of the originally constructed mansions have been completed.

Luo Youdu couldn't help speeding up a little. Since Guo Rong talked about his marriage before the expedition, he asked people to expand his shabby room.

Judging from the time, it should have been completed, and I have a small expectation in my heart.

When he was approaching the mansion, Luo Youdu suddenly stopped, looking at his neighbor's plaque, under the light of the lantern at the door, there were two golden characters "Gao Zhai".

Luo Youdu couldn't help smiling when he saw this, but also felt quite a headache.

The big guy lives next door, so he is safe, but he has to endure his temper from time to time.

There are pros and cons.

The battle in Huainan was an eye-opener for Luo Youdu himself.

Zhao Kuangyin's single-handedly beheaded general is amazing, and this Five Generations version of Zhao Zilong also showed extraordinary bravery.

Breaking two hundred riders with twenty riders is not worth mentioning.

At that time, the Great Zhou and the Southern Tang fought fiercely against Zijin Mountain, and Zhu Yuan set up Lianzhu Village as a barrier to resist the Great Zhou army.

Guo Rong wanted to test the other party's reality, so he asked Gao Huaide to lead his cronies to cross the river overnight to do some reconnaissance.

Taking advantage of the dawn, Gao Huaide led more than [-] cavalrymen to rush into Zhu Yuan's camp by surprise, killed two back and forth, captured a lieutenant general, and retreated calmly.

Zhu Yuan was so angry that he mobilized soldiers and horses from Lianzhuzhai to besiege and kill them. Guo Rong could clearly see the enemy's situation.

Anyway, Luo Youdu still can't use his IQ to understand Gao Huaide's thoughts at that time. This man is really not afraid of death, and he can really fight.

Shaking his head and smiling, he came to his mansion.

The original bamboo fence wall is long gone, replaced by a brick wall that is more than ten feet high and plastered with whitewash.

Knocking on Zhu Hong's door, the person who opened the door was actually an acquaintance.

His surname is Yu, and his name is Yu Qing. When he was working as a lawyer in Kaifeng Prefecture, he tried a case of a horse that lost control and broke the legs of a commoner.

The victim is Yu Qing.

"Little Xianggong, the old man has bad legs and feet, and can't do much. When he learned that Xianggong's mansion is looking for a concierge, he came to apply."

Luo Youdu secretly praised Huber for doing a good job.

For a position like a concierge, it is better to find acquaintances than strangers.

What's more, the other party has also received his favor.

Luo Youdu asked Liu Fu to sit in the mansion.

Liu Fu said seriously: "This subordinate is on duty today, so it's inconvenient to leave for too long."

Luo Youdu nodded in praise, invited him to the wedding by the way, and let him leave.

Luo Youdu looked at his new home curiously, it was very ordinary, nothing special, and nodded with satisfaction.

It's this feeling.

As a courtier, Guo Rong was frugal, how could he be so extravagant?

You have to leave room for yourself.

From frugality to extravagance is called self-defilement, and from lavish to extravagant is called release of nature.

There is still a big difference.

To be a human being, you have to look farther and leave more paths for yourself.

Lao Hu has prepared dishes for him.

A table of four dishes, two steamed and two fried, are his favorite foods.

Luo Youdu took Lao Hu to sit down and chatted while eating, and told him about Chai Kehong.

Old Hu heard that there was also a bit of nostalgia in his expression, and he said: "Chai Governor was sincerely friends with the Lord. My wife chose to go north to visit relatives, but she was also worried about dragging down Chai Governor. It is really great that the young minister can see Chai Governor again fate."

He thought for a while, and then said: "After Zhou Zong entered Beijing, he specially came to visit the old slave at the mansion. The old slave doesn't like him being snobbish, but his daughter Ehuang is really sensible, and the old slave likes it very much. I don't know that Zhou Zong has accumulated a lot in his previous life. What kind of virtue, I got this girl when I was old."

Luo Youdu saw that his elders were conquered by Zhou Ehuang in this way, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Hu Bo, Song Qiqiu was the chief culprit for what happened back then. Even if Zhou Zong was unjust, he couldn't be harsh. What's wrong with the girl?"

Luo Youdu talked about the wedding date next month, and Lao Hu was as happy as a child.

As he got older, he also felt powerless in many things.

It is his last wish to be able to witness the growth of the next generation of the Luo family in his future time.

The corners of Luo Youdu's mouth twitched slightly when he saw this, he hadn't said anything about letting Lao Hu act as Gao Tang.

It depends on Fu Qing'er's reply.

Fu Qing'er has a noble status, if she really doesn't want it, Luo Youdu can't force it.He is not that stubborn, if he does not ask, the marriage will not be concluded.

No one can bear the consequences.

But it will inevitably be a pimple in his heart.On the other hand, if Fu Qing'er is willing to respect him as her husband's only elder, she will naturally love her a hundredfold.

After taking a comfortable bath, Luo Youdu gradually narrowed his eyes thinking about the rewards he might get tomorrow.

Early the next morning.

Luo Youdu went out of the mansion, and saw Zhang Qiong waiting outside the mansion happily, all the fat on his body was wrapped in a bright and beautiful armor.

Early this morning, his promotion appointment had been issued by the Privy Council.

Commander of the Dragon Guards of the Imperial Battalion.

The Yuying Division has six armies, of which the Tianwei Army, the Shenwei Army, the Weisheng Army, and the Xuanwei Army are all infantry formations, the Dragon Guards are a mixed infantry formation, and the Longxiang Army is a pure cavalry formation.

You don't need to think about it to know that Long Xiangjun and Long Weijun were born by their own mothers.

Zhang Qiong won the command of one of the Longwei Army, and he didn't close his mouth all morning.

"Let's go!"

Seeing Zhang Qiong's complacent appearance, Luo Youdu also felt itchy.

All the way to the imperial city, Zhang Qiong went to the Imperial Camp to report on his own.

Luo Youdu greeted the familiar officials all the way, and followed the flow of people to the outside of Zichen Hall.

Ordinary officials are waiting outside the hall. Luo Youdu's current status should also be outside the hall, but as soon as he arrived at the Zichen Hall, an internal servant invited him to a side hall to rest.

The officials around wanted to come up to get close, but they could only look at it with emotion.

This is no surprise.

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

Military exploits and military exploits are the first tools, and after the war, the three states of Jing, Gui, and Xia were seized without bloodshed.

For such a great achievement, no one can match it in Guo Rong's Xiande dynasty.

Even with the addition of Guo Wei's Guangshun Dynasty, few people can compare.

Luo Youdu walked into the side hall and saw many familiar faces.

Prime Minister Fan Zhi, Wang Pu, Wei Renpu, Li Chongjin, Zhang Yongde, Xiang Xun, etc., are all figures who stomp their feet and tremble three times in the temple.

At the beginning of the Battle of Huainan, Li Gu, who was in command of the Twelfth Army, resigned from the position at the front and retired at home.

Because of his temper, he confronted Guo Rong and was treated coldly.

He was succeeded by Wei Renpu, who was appointed as a privy envoy to add Zhongshu Shilang and Tongping Zhangshi. He was in charge of the Council and the Privy Council, and was in a position of power in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Luo Youdu greeted Li Chongjin and Zhang Yongde first.

These two are the first and second in command of the military of the Great Zhou Temple.

No one can take their place until Guo Rong moves them.

Because some credits are unattainable anyway.

Li Chongjin and Zhang Yongde are Guo Wei's nephew and the other is Guo Wei's son-in-law. They followed Guo Wei to found Dazhou, which is the contribution of the founding of the country.

From dragons above all else.

Say hello to Luo Youdu.

Li Chongjin returned the gift in a friendly manner.

Zhang Yongde responded rather coldly.

The two have been at odds.

In the battle of Huainan in history, because the battle was not going well, Guo Rong withdrew to Kaifeng twice for rectification, and handed over frontline affairs to Li Chongjin.

Li Chongjin made the desperate Zhu Yuan fight hard, and Zhang Yongde also made Lin Renzhao's suicide attack under Cai Fuqiao's mentality burst.

The two almost had an infighting on the front line.

But now because of Luo Youdu's appearance, the initiative of the battle has always been in the hands of Da Zhou, and Guo Rong has not returned to Kaifeng, so there is no such thing as the three campaigns.

With Guo Rong in charge, Li Chongjin and Zhang Yongde did not dare to act presumptuously, and they lived in peace.

Li Chongjin is optimistic about Luo Youdu, while Zhang Yongde is optimistic about his subordinate Zhao Kuangyin.

Even if there is no conflict, Zhang Yongde takes it for granted and dislikes Luo Youdu, a junior.

Luo Youdu didn't take it seriously, he was still polite.

People live in the world and cannot be recognized by everyone.It is even less likely to be liked by everyone like coin gold.

Luo Youdu's way of dealing with things has always been to be kind to those who recognize him, to be lenient to those who don't like him, to tolerate and guard against those who are hostile to him, and to kill those who are hostile to him.

Therefore, regardless of Zhang Yongde's attitude, Luo Youdu didn't take it to heart, he knew that this person would not be an enemy, and there was no need to fight to the death because of eye contact.

When Zhang Yongde saw Luo Youdu who was talking and laughing with Fan Zhi, Wang Pu, and Wei Renpu, he had to admit that although Zhao Kuangyin was a hero, the young man in front of him seemed to be even better.

With the ringing of the court bell.

Luo Youdu stopped talking with Fan Zhi, Wang Pu, and Wei Renpu, waiting for the court meeting to start.

The biggest thing about today's court meeting is the canonization of Luo Youdu.

Straight to the point right from the start.

"In the Battle of Huainan, Luo Youdu, the magistrate of the Kaifeng Mansion, the regular attendant of Zuo Sanqi, the scholar of Jinduan Mingdian, and the commander of the Imperial Battalion, Luo Youdu, had the power to know how to change, planned well, defeated the enemy, and was invincible. It can be compared. Wherever Qing’s army arrived, the people attached to it, and the gentry’s direction, praising the benevolence and virtue of the Great Zhou, the world is pleased. There are wise generals and brave generals in the world, and only Qing is alone. He has both scriptures and martial arts. He was awarded the post of deputy envoy of the Privy Council, concurrently served as the commanding officer of the imperial battalion department, and led the Henghai Jiedu envoy."

Luo Youdu said excitedly, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

Luo Youdu's position as the commander of the imperial battalion division is very secure.

Needless to say, the deputy envoy of the Privy Council was also within Luo Youdu's guess.

After all, Guo Rong's ultimate goal is to let him enter the Privy Council to order military officials.

But Jiedushi, the highest honor of a general, was never expected by Luo Youdu.

As a central general, Jiedushi belongs to the remote leader, and the military system in the later Zhou Dynasty has weakened Jiedushi's power to the greatest extent.

But as a civil servant, he established a festival, and served as the deputy envoy of the Privy Council and the commander of the Imperial Army.It means that he is second only to Li Chongjin and Zhang Yongde in this temple military.

And 24 Jianjie, since the Jiedushi, there is no one.

From today onwards, the military temple of the Great Zhou Dynasty will stand at the head of three, Li Chongjin, Zhang Yongde and Luo Youdu.

 Thank you Shuyou for the 8 rewards for the fruit that fell in love with the moon, and the [-] rewards for Matsuzaki Yuriko and E Jv[-], thank you for your support!
