Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Chapter 196
Fu Yanqing returned to Daming Mansion that afternoon.

Still walking with a sullen old face.

Fu Qing'er complained indignantly for Luo Youdu: "Daddy is too much, just his bad temper, mother can bear it."

She didn't know what Luo Youdu and Fu Yanqing talked about.

But my daughter, her elbows are always turned outward.

My husband has such a good temper, he is humble and virtuous, he respects his elders, he is worthy of heaven and earth.That's the best person in the world, how could he mess with his father?

On the contrary, my father is grumpy, ignorant, ignorant of right and wrong, and he values ​​martial arts over literature. No matter how you think about it, it is his problem.

Luo Youdu could only smile and comfort him, but he didn't explain anything.

Companion is like a tiger.

As the power gets higher, you have to know how to make trade-offs in many cases.What was possible before may not be possible now.

After all, no one cares about a small character flaunting his might, but even if a tiger is lying there sleeping, no one will despise and provoke it.

As the strongest warlord of this era, Fu Yanqing couldn't get too close to him even if he was just pretending.

Luo Youdu knows this truth, and an old fox like Fu Yanqing who has experienced five generations of turmoil understands it even more.

His current embarrassing situation is much more serious than Luo Youduke.

For the future of the old Fu family, he is also unwilling to be too close to Luo Youdu under Guo Rong's nose.

Fu Qing'er looked at her husband who was "wronged" and comforted her, and was moved in her heart. Thinking of the little book that Fengzhu secretly stuffed into her, a few red clouds floated on her pretty face.

"What's wrong?" Seeing Fu Qing'er inexplicably shy, Luo Youdu was a little surprised.

"Ah..." Fu Qing'er panicked herself: "No, it's nothing."

She hurriedly found a topic and asked, "Mr. Lang, do you know Zhao Kuangyi, the younger brother who is the commander in front of the palace? How is he?"

Luo Youdu looked at Fu Qing'er suspiciously, and asked, "Why do you ask that? This person is quite impressive, and it's hard to explain in a word."

In all fairness, Zhao Kuangyi's ability is really not bad.

Straightforward, tolerant, scheming, political logistics scheduling are all first-class.

After Zhao Kuangyin's yellow robe was added, Zhao Kuangyi was appointed as the deployment of the Great Neidu, and he was appointed as the governor of Kaifeng, and he was also in charge of handling rear affairs.

Not only did Zhao Kuangyi not hold back, he even formed his own team.

But after he became emperor, he began to intervene in the military, which is really hard to describe.

Fu Qing'er said: "After dad entered Beijing, the commander of the right wing led his two sons to find dad. When dad was serving as the commander of Li Cunxu's subordinates, the commander of the right wing was in charge of the imperial army. colleagues."

"Father admired Zhao Kuangyin very much, he valued him very much, and even gave him a thousand-mile horse. The commander of the right wing took the opportunity to ask for a marriage between the two families..."

The commander of the right wing that Fu Qinger spoke of was naturally Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Kuangyi's father Zhao Hongyin.

This guy should have died during the Huainan Battle, but he is still alive for some reason.

Luo Youdu asked: "Did the father-in-law agree?"

Fu Qing'er shook her head and said, "Papa declined, but Zhao Kuangyi didn't seem to give up. Mother asked me to ask Mr. Lang how he is. If he is worth entrusting, write it down first."

It turned out to be a spare tire!

Luo Youdu couldn't help laughing: "It's a talent, but it's not good enough to be matched with a younger sister. The main reason is that he has married a wife before, and he hasn't passed away for a long time, so he misses his younger sister, a little... Hehe."

He didn't finish his sentence and ended with a laugh.

Fu Qing'er raised her eyebrows and asked, "Has he had a wife before?"

Luo Youdu said: "Of course, Yin Tingxun's daughter is the governor of Chuzhou, and his elder brother is Yin Chongke, the governor of Baoxin Army."

For Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Kuangyi's family, Luo Youdu may not know less than himself.

When he was the magistrate of Kaifeng Prefecture, he used the investigation as an excuse to check the registered household registrations of Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Kuangyi when the household doctor was not paying attention.

Not just them, he took a look at the registered permanent residence of the ten brothers of Yishe and the good relationship with Zhao Kuangyin.

There is no harm in keeping this thing in your mind, and it may come in handy in the future.

Fu Qing'er snorted: "This is not admiration for my little sister, it is clearly aimed at my Fu family. If my little sister marries this kind of person, wouldn't it be a waste of life? No, I have to talk to my mother."

Luo Youdu looked at Fu Qing'er's back with some deep eyes.

Luo Youdu knew that if it wasn't for his appearance, the marriage between the Fu and Zhao families would have been settled.

Historically, the Zhao family was related to Fu Yanqing, who transferred Li Chongjin to Huainan as Jiedushi.

Otherwise, Zhao Kuangyin would not be so easy to succeed with Li Chongjin's bodyguard and military commander.

It seems that my side is quick to act, and Zhao Kuangyin's family is not idle.

Facing a virtuous lord like Guo Rong, Luo Youdu reckoned that the Zhao family would not dare to rebel, but their ambitions were not small.

Either to replace Li Chongjin, or Zhang Yongde.

In history, what Zhang Yongde did to Guo Rong was very unreasonable.

On the way of the Northern Expedition, Guo Rong reviewed the documents submitted by various places, and got a leather bag. In the bag was a three-foot-long wooden board with the words "Check to be the Son of Heaven" written on it.

This was obviously a way to harm Zhang Yongde, and Guo Rong didn't care about it at the time.

But not long after, Guo Rong accidentally fell ill, which was extremely serious, and he didn't care to investigate further. He directly dismissed Zhang Yongde from the post of inspector in front of the hall, and handed it to his most trusted Zhao Kuangyin.

Whether Zhao Kuangyin did this, Luo Youdu doesn't know, but it is true that Zhao Kuangyin is the biggest beneficiary.

Otherwise, no matter how great Zhao Kuangyin's contribution is, it cannot compare to Zhang Yongde's contribution to following Guo Wei in founding the country and Conglong.

I have to make trouble for them, and pull out a few canine teeth by the way, to pass the long time.

Luo Youdu pondered secretly.

On whom?
Do you want to flip the sign?

"Meet Luo Tongjun!"

At this time, Yi Jiang came to Luo Youdu, with a Chinese character face and a hulking body full of the heroic spirit of a boy from the North.

Luo Youdu cupped his fists in return.

The general said: "Wang Ya of Wei, General Guo Tun, Mrs. Guo Guo is going to go north in five days. There are still a hundred horses in the mansion as the Fu family's dowry. I'm afraid there will be no one to take care of them at that time. I don't know how to deal with it?"

Luo Youdu thought for a while and said, "Store it for two days first, and I will send someone to pick it up after three days."

Guo Tun didn't say much, bowed and left.

Looking at the calm appearance of this general under Fu Yanqing's command, he thought about his own captain and felt a headache.

**********
Zhao House.

Bright lights.

Zhao Kuangyin invited his colleagues from the Dianqian Division to a banquet, and they went over the mansion together for a talk.

Compared with Zhang Yongde who is too lofty, the heroic Zhao Kuangyin is even more popular with the generals.

Relying on his outstanding personality charm, he has gathered a considerable force beside him, and he can already compete with Zhang Yongde, the front court.

But Zhang Yongde didn't care, he valued Zhao Kuangyin as a subordinate very much, and he was originally trained as his successor.

Zhao Kuangyin looked at the two vacant seats, and asked Zhao Kuangyi who was beside him, "Keep your word, hide your use, didn't you come?"

Shi Shouxin is a member of the Dianqian Division, so he is naturally under Zhao Kuangyin's command.

Gao Huaide was not, he belonged to the Guards' Military Division, but Zhao Kuangyin was very optimistic about Gao Huaide, even if it was a small gathering belonging to the front division, he would invite Gao Huaide to the list.

Even if Gao Huaide rejected the two good proposals.

Zhao Kuangyi said angrily: "Gao Huaide said he was writing a song at home, so he won't come. My brother invites me, but it's not as important as what song he writes. It's really annoying."

Zhao Kuangyin said with a smile: "It's the nature of Tibet, it's okay."

"Then... what about keeping promises?"

Zhao Kuangyin's feelings for Shi Shouxin are extremely complicated, but the friendship for many years is still hard to let go.

Zhao Kuangyi sneered and said, "He just couldn't say it. He also said that there will be Wang Yansheng and Luo Yanxuan at the banquet in the future, so there is no need to call him."

Zhao Kuangyin secretly sighed, very helpless.

Shi Shouxin is his brother who kowtowed.

But Wang Yansheng and Luo Yanyu are his right-hand men in the front army, the most trusted subordinates, and they are loyal.

Even if they rebelled immediately and faced a dead end, Wang Yansheng and Luo Yanyu would not frown.

But because of this kind of loyalty, the two of them could not understand Shi Shouxin's "betrayal".

Thinking that Shi Shouxin went to make friends with Luo Youdu was a betrayal of his master Zhao Kuangyin.

In the front of the palace, there were many complaints for Zhao Kuangyin, bad things about Shi Shouxin, and calling him a traitor.

Shi Shouxin is also short-tempered, how can he bear this kind of anger.

He directly fought with Wang Yansheng, and suffered a disadvantage.

When it comes to bravery on the battlefield, Shi Shouxin can beat Wang Yansheng by two blocks.

But Wang Yansheng was originally from Shu, he was a knight-errant, he had learned swordsmanship in Qingcheng Mountain, he was the best at fencing, he was called "Wang Jian'er", he was a well-known master in the rivers and lakes.

Fighting on this battlefield is completely different from fighting in martial arts.

Shi Shouxin's killing skills, honed on the battlefield, were humiliated by Wang Yansheng's dexterous and changeable Jianghu swordsmanship.

Shi Shouxin's skills are not as good as others, so he can only admit defeat.

Due to Zhao Kuangyin's affection, Shi Shouxin did not use his power to vent his anger, but the contradictions accumulated.

After Zhao Kuangyin learned of the situation, he took Wang Yansheng and Luo Yanyu to make amends to Shi Shouxin.

Shi Shouxin didn't want Zhao Kuangyin to be embarrassed, and on the surface he agreed to reconcile, so as to avoid making people laugh at the front office, but in private, he was also unwilling to associate with Wang Yansheng and Luo Yanyu any more.

You, Zhao Kuangyin, can invite me to drink, but if you want to bring Wang Yansheng and Luo Yanguan, then don't blame me for not giving you face.

Wang Yansheng attended at this time and said: "Today, the commander invited me to drink, show my shame, and dance swords for the princes to cheer up."

Amid bursts of applause from around, Wang Yansheng drew out his sword and waved it in front of the crowd. Under the light of the candlelight, the bluish-white sword light enveloped his whole body.

Zhao Kuangyin couldn't help clapping his hands and praised: "Guanglie's swordsmanship on Mount Qingcheng is really brilliant."

I couldn't help thinking in my heart: No wonder trustworthy suffers. In Kaifeng, the only ones who can win against Guanglie alone are I and Zang, right?
It suddenly occurred to him that Luo Youdu seems to have found a captain of the personal guard who is not very good at thinking, but what is his strength?
